What guests say about Shandaar Cuisine

Customers especially praise the authentic Pakistani cuisine, which is very flavorful and often freshly prepared, with dishes frequently mentioned such as karahi, biryani, naan, and chai. The service is generally described as warm, attentive, and welcoming, with a clean, cozy, and family-friendly atmosphere. A few reviews, however, mention wait times, portions considered small, or prices perceived as high. Overall, it is a highly recommended spot for authentic flavors in Montreal.

I must say, I was just in the area and decided to give this place a try after seeing its amazing reviews. And honestly, it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was truly outstanding. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and customer service are this exceptional. Definitely worth visiting, and I’ll certainly be coming back! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We came across a food rating for this restaurant and decided to give it a try, but unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite of what we expected. Firstly, the portion sizes were extremely small and disappointing. When our second dish arrived, it was served without a spoon. When we asked the server for one, they literally took the spoon from our already-used dish and placed it into the new dish right in front of us! This was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. To make matters worse, we also ordered chicken biryani, which was burnt at the bottom. The overall food quality, portion sizes, and service were nowhere near our expectations. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not live up to its ratings, and I definitely wouldn’t visit again or recommend it to others.
