I was attended by Sukhwinder & everything was perfect, I had an accident & she very kindly came to help me & solve the problem, everything is delicious & it is good price-quality, I recommend it 100%
I ordered Telangana chicken spicy mandi, dragon chicken & garlic naan
In the end, she gave us the dessert ♡
We had a fantastic dining experience at SHAAZ Restaurant. The food quality & taste were truly impressive. We started with the Mutton Paya soup, which was rich, aromatic, & full of deep flavor. For starters, the Chilli Chicken was perfectly spicy & crispy, & the Haleem was thick, smooth, & very authentic in taste.
For the main course, the Dhaba Style Chicken Curry was outstanding with its traditional spices & homestyle flavor. The Nalli Nihari was the highlight of the meal - the meat was extremely tender & the gravy was rich & delicious. It paired perfectly with the soft Garlic Naan & freshly made Roomali Roti.
We also enjoyed a refreshing Mango Lassi, which was creamy, sweet, & the perfect drink with the meal.
The restaurant atmosphere at SHAAZ was warm, clean, & very welcoming. A special thanks to our service staff Akshitha, who was very polite, attentive, & friendly throughout our visit.
We finished with Shahi Tukda, which was sweet, creamy, & absolutely delightful. Overall, an excellent experience with great food, wonderful service, & a lovely ambiance. Highly recommended!❤?
Mediocre. Food was decent. Naan was great, Chana masala was good, saag was not good & was more so green cream & chicken. They have potential & some dishes are good but need to work on some things. Would be great to also clean a bit more, the bottom of walls etc are black & don't give you a great feeling.
Amazing Indian food & great service!
The flavours were authentic & perfectly balanced. The telangana chicken & garlic naan were amazing, mutton mundi & gongura chicken mundi are spicy flavourful & delicious. This is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area.
Vraiment délicieux, la soupe au mouton est une des meilleures choses que j'ai pu goûter dans un restaurant indien. Les plats végétariens sont très bons, le chicken Korma vraiment savoureux. Les pains naans valent le coup car moins coûteux que dans d'autres restaurants. Bon accueil souriant !
They use to be good but they dropped the quality real bad … I usually order naan nihari when i go & biryani but this time when i ordered nihari & naan it was tasteless & looked stale & like a leftover . Server was super busy as he was alone handly everything (like waiting tables, taking orders & working as cashier & also cleaning up after people left ) which delayed our order. No blame on him but they should have more staff & not put burden on one person to handle everything
If you're in Montreal & craving authentic Indian flavors, Shaaz is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in the city.
The moment you walk in, the warm aroma of spices welcomes you like home.
I recently tried their vegetarian menu, & honestly, every bite was perfection.
Their Paneer 65 is a must-try - crispy on the outside, soft & flavorful inside.
The curries are rich, creamy, & perfectly balanced with spices.
The naan is soft, buttery, & fresh out of the tandoor.
The staff is friendly, attentive, & makes you feel like family.
Portions are generous, & prices are reasonable for the quality you get.
Whether you're vegetarian or non-vegetarian, there's something here for everyone.
Shaaz isn't just a restaurant - it's a delicious journey to India right in Montreal.
A totally satisfied meal. Had the naan, chicken tikka masala & mutton donne biryani. Truly enjoyed the taste. As a person from Bangalore the donne biryani brought so much memories. Jamoon for dessert made it complete 😋
The only good thing here was quick service.
Food is mediocre at best. One thing they really need to work on is that pungent lingering smell very off putting.
We tried the paneer tikka-avg, garlic naan - good & mutton ghee roast Mandi - not good.

Best Indian food in town. Chilli onion naan , kshatriya kebab, shahi thukda , Junnu are the best out of the dishes we tasted today. Mandi & Zafrani mutton Biryani are must try.
Alot of choices in the menu! Tried the Mango Magic drink, would have been nicer if it were colder. Otherwise shared 3 dishes, one chicken curry, one mutton bryani & a cheese paneer, all pretty tasty & a bit spicy! We added garlic naan bread which was good.
Always amazing food & service. We travel multiple hours for Shaaz - & it never fails to impress. Everything from the paneer, the Hakka noodles, biriyani, chicken curry, & even the naan is exceptional.
Went for a late supper around 8:30 & this place was BUSY on a Monday night. For a table of 2 we chose the Butter Paneer, the juicy mutton (reg.) that comes served on rice, 2 orders on Naan & ate WELL.(a little of everything left over) large menu, tons of choices as well as asian fusion noodles & vegetarian options all across the menu. For an establishment that has been open for a few months there are big things in store for them. 1000% recommend & will be coming back with a larger group as to try out more items on the menu since the meals are served in a sharing style. Loved it & Thank you for having us !
