Review Summary

Shaaz is widely recognized for offering authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, with many patrons praising the quality of dishes like the biryanis, mandi, and various chicken specialties. While the food consistently earns high marks for its taste and generous portions, the overall dining experience remains divided due to inconsistent service and varying levels of restaurant cleanliness. Many visitors highlight the exceptionally friendly and attentive service provided by certain staff members, which creates a welcoming atmosphere, though others report frustrating wait times, disorganized operations, and occasional issues with food consistency or menu pricing. Despite these mixed reviews regarding operational efficiency and environment, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking delicious, aromatic meals in the heart of the city.

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.
