We went for Lunch on Labour day in 2025. The food was great. Very nice ambiance. Servers were great too !! Will come back again for sure!!❤?❤?
Changing my review as of March 18,2026 as the old Shaaz doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Today we went & sat for more than 30 minutes. The restaurant wasn't even that crowded. The server didn't bother to come & take our order whereas people coming after us almost finished their food & about to leave.
Customer service is the front part of your business, & if that primary need doesn't get catered cause your server as she said' I forget' then maybe it's high time to change your server & bring people who care about actually serving people!!!!!!
We finally left without having food as the customer service made us lose our appetite!!!
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!❤?

Great food & a wonderful dining experience overall. The Telangana Spicy Chicken & Desi Hakka Noodles were absolutely fabulous. The service stood out just as much as the food. Akshitha was especially welcoming, attentive, & made us feel comfortable throughout. Highly recommend this place.
Very overpriced for the poor quality & small quantity. The food was just average & not worth the money. Only a few pieces for a starter, which is not enough. The place had no proper staff, poor cleanliness, & a bad smell. Overall it feels overhyped & was a waste of time
I had a very disappointing experience at Shaaz Restaurant in Montreal downtown . We visited yesterday & placed our order, but it took almost 45 minutes for the food to be served. & it was cold Waiting that long without any proper update from the staff was extremely frustrating.
The **environment was also not good **& did not feel welcoming or comfortable at all.
When you go out to eat, you expect good service & a pleasant atmosphere, but unfortunately this place failed on both. Because of the slow service, unfriendly staff, & bad environment, I would not recommend this restaurant to others.
The food is really good, & affordable. Service was excellent, Akshitha was soo friendly & suggesting the dishes. Will definitely Recommend Friends. Best Indian Restaurant in Montreal 💯
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.

We came here with our friends & we had a great time & wonderful food. We tried shahi chicken kurma aside chili onion breads, butter, garlic breads & also fried mutton briyani tasted really authentic. I personally suggest them for their service. Thanks to serveuse sukwinder.
I went with a group of friends & tried a variety of dishes. The chicken hakka noodles were the showstopper. The mutton haleem was also really good, & the starters were great. We ended with a mango lassi, which was a perfect finish.
