Review Summary

Shaaz offers a wide range of Indian dishes with authentic flavors and generous portions, with standout options like Telangana spicy chicken biryani, mutton paaya, kattapa veg biryani, and mandi that many reviewers call must-tries. Flavours are often described as authentic, well balanced, and tasty, with starters such as dragon chicken and paneer dishes receiving high marks. Generous portions and good value for money are recurring positives, making Shaaz a popular choice for families and groups. Service and atmosphere are praised for warmth and attentiveness, though several reviews note inconsistent execution during busy periods, slow service, and occasional order errors. Some main courses have fallen short at times, with issues like soggy rice, undercooked elements, or dishes not meeting expected authenticity, while starters and certain dishes are repeatedly described as standout. Cleanliness and maintenance, including bathrooms and tables, have been called out in a few visits, while overall the ambiance remains inviting. Overall, Shaaz is considered one of the better Indian restaurants in Montreal, especially for biryani and mandi, with room for improvement in consistency and service.

It was our first time here & was little hard choosing from their extensive menu options. Being vegetarians, we usually don't get to taste super flavorful Indian dishes in restaurants here in Montreal. To our surprise, this time every dish we ordered was so tasty & bursting with flavors. Spice levels too were up to our satisfaction. We will definitely go back & recommend Shaaz to our friends & colleagues.

I am happy that I ate good food despite coming late at night. I was particularly happy with the spicy garlic gobi & burnt garlic noodles. They do have vegan options. I would surely recommend to try this place.

I have to say that food is very spicy there. I thought level 2 in the middle would be an in between but that was a level 5/5 spiciness at other restaurants BUT food was very tasty & delicious. I had no problem with the service, our waitresses were great, attentive & suggested a mango drink for the spicy which helped so I definitely recommend it. It was also quite tasty, like mango yogurt. I like the decor too, just if it were my restaurant I would get light dimmer's, it feels like you're walking in a bright hospital hall.

I recently visited this restaurant & had a wonderful experience! The cuisine was delightful, & we especially appreciated that it wasn't overly spicy. We mentioned our preference to our waitress, Arushi, who was incredibly kind & attentive. She made sure our dishes were prepared with just the right amount of spices, perfectly suited to our taste. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food with customizable spice levels. Definitely worth a visit!

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 !
