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.
Ordered mutton masala. worst taste I have ever had. The server makes face when called, I don't know why they don't hire servers with no attitude. Not even crowded.
Best Mandi in the town. I recommend Mutton ghee roast Mandi. Service by Sukhwinder was commendable. she was really professional & keen to give better sevice

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.
Amazing Food & Excellent Service!
I recently visited shaaz & had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked - I highly recommend the vegetarian mandi
The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, & professional throughout the meal. We were greeted warmly, our server checked in at just the right times, & the food came out promptly.
The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, making it a great place for both casual dining & special occasions. Prices were reasonable for the quality, & the entire experience felt well worth it.
I'll definitely be coming back soon - highly recommended!

I tried their Mandi today & it was absolutely delicious! The rice was perfectly spiced, the meat was tender & juicy, & the flavors were so authentic. The portion size was generous, & the presentation made it even better. Friendly service & cozy atmosphere
definitely coming back!
Food was amazing. Nothing to complain about. Flavours werre on spot & amazing 😍.
The staff is the only downside to this place. Very ignorant people, don't care much about customer satisfaction.
We were 6 people & we seated right next to the entrance/door & we we requested to be moved to the mezzanine floor, their attitude was just as if we were asking from something & they are the ones paying for our meal.

I have not been to the restaurant in person, But when I ordered Indo Chinese food from Uber Eats, the food was not too good. I was literally flowing out from the containers. The taste was below average for some items.
This place is not good & the staff is not attentive/not customer focused. They don't care if you need anything. The restaurant is not cleaned as well. We ordered veg man chow soup, It had excess amount of black peeper & it was not freshly made. It seems they made it warm in microwave n served. Also the veg noodles has excess amount of chilies/ black pepper. The Daal Makhni has bitter taste. It's not worth visiting.
Very nice & ambient restaurant with great food, came as a party of 7 & they accommodated very kindly. Food was simply delicious, we enjoyed hearty Telugu meals & falooda & gulab jamun at the end. Workers were also very kind & accommodating for all our requests. Recommend Shaaz for everyone to try when visiting Montreal! 😋🥘
