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.
We recently were travelling from Toronto to Montreal & had the pleasure of eating veg biryani, dal makhani & kadahi panner here. The food is so tasty. Ambience is good & it has a lot of seating space. Would go again.
Amazing food, service & atmosphere. I always go there at lunchtime with my husband or with co-workers. Everyone agrees it is really good. The waiter, Suni, is always nice & gives good suggestions if you are new to Indian food or don't like that much spice. I am not that person, but some of my co-workers are & they always say they want to go back.
Not gonna lie, one of the greatest Indian restaurants I've been so far. I did order a Paneer Biryani & it was a flavor bomb. Whoever is cooking the food in the kitchen absolutely knows his job. Also the Mango Lassy was smooth & tasty as you would expect it. Thanks for also for the great & kind service.
We got the shaadi wala laal chicken, & it was full of flavour 🤩! This place is huge & welcoming ☺?. Soni serves us with patience & kindness. Totally recommend!
Incroyable expérience, le repas était exquis. Chaque plat est fait amour & passion. C'était vraiment délicieux, mon compagnon & moi sommes allés en Inde & nous avons retrouvé les mêmes saveurs, voir encore meilleures ! Nous recommandons à 100%, le meilleur restaurant Indien de la ville ! & en plus de la qualité des plats, le service était impeccable, les serveurs étaient adorables & aux petits soins. Une très belle expérience, nous nous sommes sentis vraiment bien dans ce beau lieu avec de belles énergies. Merci Shaaz & les belles personnes qui y travaillent. Namaste ! Il y avait aussi de nombreux clients Indiens ce qui est gage de bonne qualité.
L'un des meilleurs restaurants indiens que j'ai fait de ma vie...
Déjà la qualité est présente, c'est très très bon, c'est épicé comme il faut & plein de saveurs. Puis la quantité est incroyable... Je n'ai pas fini alors que je suis un gros mangeur, non vraiment rien à redire. Surtout à ce prix là.
Asked no spicy food for my relative, they receive dragon fire spicy, even for our indian born friends, then staff unfortunately laugh at the situation. Finally they ask half the table if we wanted dessert.

Have been there three times in the past year. We liked it quite a lot in the past, but there's a clear decline this time in terms of food & service. Bathrooms weren't maintained or cleaned properly at all. Only one server.
