Une très belle découverte ! La nourriture est authentique & pleine de saveurs. Le biryani & le Karahi étaient incroyables. Service rapide & équipe très sympathique. J'y retournerai avec plaisir.
We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The lamb biryani was incredibly flavorful, perfectly spiced, & cooked to perfection. The chicken curry was rich, comforting, & absolutely delicious. The bread was fresh & crunchy, which made everything even better & paired perfectly with the dishes.
You can really taste the authenticity & care in every bite. The service was also very warm & welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best Pakistani meals we've had, we'll be coming back for sure!

An excellent dining experience. The Biryani is delicious, & the food quality is consistently high. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere & the staff are incredibly friendly & professional. I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment.
Pain naan. Palak paneer. Biryani poulet tikka. Peshawari agneau. Kadak chai. Gulab jamun. Excellent repas. Service impeccable. Les prix sont bons pour des portions plus que suffisantes. On recommande à 110%.
We visited this Pakistani restaurant for the first time today, & wow 😍 what an experience! Every dish we tried felt like a little trip back home (my husband is Pakistani). The paya, saag, biryani, & kebab were packed with authentic flavours that tasted slow?cooked, carefully seasoned, & made with real love. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what they're doing 🥰
& the chai… it had that comforting, homey warmth that instantly makes you slow down & enjoy the moment. Rich, aromatic, & perfectly balanced (now that we are transitioning from winter to spring, just the perfect blend!) 👌
From the food to the atmosphere, everything felt genuine & welcoming. Definitely worth the drive, & absolutely a place we'll be returning to.
Highly recommended for anyone craving true Pakistani flavours!
We visited over the weekend with a large family group of 14 & were welcomed very warmly. Kids friendly as well. The restaurant has a spacious setup, which made it comfortable for a big group like ours.
There were plenty of great options on the menu, & the pricing felt reasonable & standard for the quality. The only small feedback would be that the meat portions in the chicken tikka masala & nihari could have been a bit more considering the price. Everything else had good portion size.
The food overall tasted good & quite authentic. We ordered a variety of dishes including nihari, naan, chicken biryani, chicken tikka biryani, chicken tikka masala, Shandaar chicken karahi, Charsi karahi, & Bihari kebab everything was enjoyable.
Overall, Usma & Musa were wonderful hosts very welcoming & attentive. They checked on us regularly & made sure we had a great experience.
Aucune fausse note dans ce restaurant. Au milieu de Cartierville, qui n'est pas vraiment un quartier reconnu pour son animation, on a une sacrée perle avec cette maison tenue par des gens très accueillants & qui nous ont reçu un midi en plein mois de ramadan.
Le Karahi, le Biryani, les naans, incroyable.
Des saveurs profondes, pas mal d'épices oui mais très efficaces.
Très bonne cuisine qui goûte vraiment familiale.

Total Disappointment - Fake Ratings & Pathetic Service
'I was completely misled by the high ratings. Visiting Shandaar Cuisine for their Iftar buffet was a terrible mistake. Despite the $30+ per person cost, there was no actual buffet spread. We were told food would be served at the table, but it took 30 minutes just for two naans to arrive. The Karahi chicken followed 20 minutes later & was just a tasteless bowl of tiny, bony pieces. When we asked about the rest of the meal, they begrudgingly brought small, unappetizing portions of biryani, chole, butter chicken, kebab & pakora. The food quality was so poor it literally caused nausea. Worst of all, when we called ahead, they urged us to'hurry up,' yet when everyone complained, the owner simply blamed a lack of staff. If I could give zero stars, I would. Beware-do not trust the hype.'
If you're looking for a place in Montreal that truly lives up to its name, Shandaar Cuisine is it - shandaar meaning'magnificent' in Urdu, & that's exactly what this dining experience is.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm smiles & an inviting aroma of freshly cooked South Asian delicacies. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy & elegant, with soft lighting & tasteful décor that makes you feel right at home.
The food is nothing short of exceptional. Their Karahi bursts with rich, aromatic spices, the biryani is perfectly layered with tender meat & fragrant rice, & the doodh patti chai is the kind of comfort in a cup you'll crave long after you leave. The mango lassi is refreshingly smooth - a must-try for anyone visiting.
What truly sets Shandaar Cuisine apart is the attention to detail. Every dish feels like it's been prepared with love, & the staff go above & beyond to ensure you have a memorable experience.
Whether you're a fan of authentic desi flavors or just curious to explore them, Shandaar Cuisine is a gem that will leave your taste buds dancing & your heart full.
Excellent restaurant pakistanais ! J'ai essayé le biryani au poulet avec la viande, & tout était délicieux : le goût, la sauce, la cuisson, vraiment rien à redire. Le service était impeccable, rapide & très chaleureux. Une très belle découverte je recommande sans hésiter !⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

We had a great experience at Shandar Karahi. We ordered white karahi, lamb biryani, & chicken tikka, & everything was delicious. The white karahi was rich & creamy, the lamb biryani was flavorful & perfectly cooked, & the chicken tikka was juicy & well seasoned. Portions were good & the food was served hot & fresh. Overall, very tasty food & worth visiting. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Pakistani/Indian cuisine! 😊
Amazing food & hospitality at Shandaar cuisine that's run by a beautiful family. It was lovely meeting Uzma & needless to say the food was so delicious. Never found any taste so close to Karachi! We ordered chicken Karahi, chicken tikka, beef kebab, biryani, mint margarita & lassi. We ended up overeating as niyat nahi bhar rahi thi. Must must visit if you're in Montreal! The warmth would feel like home!
I absolutely loved the food. The chicken karahi was spiced to perfection, the garlic naan was fresh & crispy, & the chicken biryani was hearty & delicious. Everything paired perfectly with the cilantro chutney. Also, the food was cooked to order. However, the chicken karahi had a lot of small bone fragments hidden in the sauce, so we had to be very careful while eating. Some special care should be taken while cutting the chicken to avoid this.
The service was great (although only available in English). Someone came in & demanded a shish taouk with tzatziki, but the waiter was very patient & polite, & suggested a Pakistani dish close to that. Very professional.
All in all, it was a great experience!

Tried this restaurant for the first time & I was impressed by their service. Super friendly & accomodating. Food was fresh & tasty. I really liked their Bbq platter, naan, fish pakora & the chicken tikka biryani. I will definitely come back & try their other options. Highly recommend
We went just because we wanted to have pakistani food.. but trust me the food is amazing, we taste is authentic. karahi chicken & garlic naan was heavenly. Lamb biryani was also delicious, it was not too spicy, masalas were perfect.
Overall one of the best experience.
Absolutely incredible food. Had the Shandaar Chicken Karahi & Lamb Biryani. The chicken was probably one of the best dishes I've ever had at a Pakistani/Indian restaurant. Service was good. Seemed like only 1 guy was working that took our order & made our food, but we were the only ones there so there wasn't a wait.
All the food was fantastic but the biryani was absolutely fire, it taste like Karachi biryani , one of the best chicken biryani I ate in Montreal, really recommend their biryani & white Karahi & beef bihari.
Très bon Biryani à l'agneau. Shandaar légendaire: vraiment goûteux! Si vous aimez les repas bien épicés : c'est le bon endroit! (Service courtois mais pas en français).
