This beautiful cozy restaurant is the spot for the best authentic Pakistani-Indian cuisine!!! Came here as a family of 5 for the first time to celebrate my birthday dinner & we absolutely enjoyed the beautiful ambiance & loved every single dish we had. From the super rich lamb nihari, deliciously authentic paneer chicken handi, amazing beef kebab, chicken, & lamb biriyani plates….chefs kiss!!! The presentation delivered 10/10 especially when we saw the mitti handi (clay pots) reminded me of back home!!! The food was literal perfection. Shandaar restaurant also has the best service we came across after many years. Our waistress Usma ji was super sweet & hospitable. Catered to our needs & went beyond to accommodate our family members to make sure we had a memorable time. Additionally, the staffs & chefs were also very kind & amicable We will most be definitely coming back to Shandaar & ordering from this hidden gem of a restaurant thank you for the incredibly wholesome birthday dinner experience May God bless
I have never been this happy to write a 5 star review. Shandaar Cuisine is by far my favourite restaurant in Montreal. It is a family-owned Pakistani restaurant with both Pakistani and Indian dishes made to perfection. The family-style ambiance, the unique spice blends that will make you travel with each bite, and the kindness of the staff will have you going back regularly. Everything is flavourful, fresh, well seasoned and fragrant. My husband being of Pakistani heritage means that we are picky when it comes to south asian cuisine. This is one of the few places we consider to be as good as homemade. It reminds my in-laws of the succulent dishes from back home, without having to leave the city. Some of my favourite dishes are the Peshawari chicken karahi, the lamb biryani, the fish karahi, the daal, and of course, the chai. Whether you come with family, friends or for a date night, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to Usma and her son for being such wonderful hosts. Thank you to the amazing staff and cooks.
We were visiting montreal from GTA and decided to give Shandaar cuisine a try. Ordered chicken karahi, and it was a 10/10. We had been out and about all day and super hungry. We placed an order on the phone for pickup but later decided to switch it to dine in. The service was good, and the taste was exceptional. Truly authentic pakistani cuisine. The portions were generous, too. The staff was welcoming and very attentive as well. We later ordered tea as well. The ambiance, however, was a little dull in my opinion, and parking was difficult to find. Other than that, this place is highly recommended if you want to try authentic pakistani food.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
