We had ordered two 2kg biriani, In one tray it was just 4-5 tiny pcs chicken(like one chicken pc cut into 5pcs) Really embarrassing if you ordered for guests. Will never order again.
Would recommend keeping inside area clean, especially floor. Entrance, ceilings, side walls. Apart from that great food taste, value for money
Amazing Indian food & great service!
The flavours were authentic & perfectly balanced. The telangana chicken & garlic naan were amazing, mutton mundi & gongura chicken mundi are spicy flavourful & delicious. This is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area.
Excellent Food! 😋😋♥?...
Must Try Telangana Spicy Chicken Biryani & Mutton Paaya!
I visited Shaaz Restaurant recently, & honestly, the experience was extremely disappointing.
The restaurant was packed, but there was only ONE server handling everything - taking orders, serving food, cleaning tables, & bringing bills. What's shocking is that this isn't just a small single-floor place… there are TWO dining floors, & still only one poor guy running around nonstop.
At least 5 tables had already finished & left, but they remained uncleared because the server simply didn't have a moment to breathe. Meanwhile, many of us were just standing & waiting with no place to sit. It wasn't the server's fault at all - he was clearly doing his absolute best - but the management should be ashamed for running a busy restaurant like this without proper staffing.
This review is directed at the management: if you can't afford basic service support, you shouldn't be operating at this scale. I genuinely felt bad for the server, but as a customer, I value my time… & I won't be coming back.
1. Bathroom was broken (all stalls out of order)
2. Service took over an hour for two bowls of curry.
3. We were the only whit people present, sever prioritized Indian customers who came in up to 20 minutes after before us.
4. Food was okay, nothing exceptional.
Looking at the high reviews for the area, I question whether or not Canadians had ever had good curry or service?
Kattapa veg biryani which is basically dum rice with gobi 65, it was very nice
Biryanis are really good... But didn't like chicken dum biryani.. it's rice is dry & have only 2 chicken pieces in it. No flavors.. very flat taste. I'll not recommend it.. Telangana biryani is so damn good a bit spicy'best'... This 5 star rating is just for that...
Great Dinning Experience! Food is Fab! Kudos to Arsh for being a great Server.
Food is very good. Chicken dum briyani is a must try! Over all an excellent experience
Food was really delicious
Dragon chicken & chicken mundhi .. their service was really good.
The starters were absolutely top notch. We ordered Dragon Gobi & Peshwari Paneer Tikka, & both were delicious, well-cooked, & full of flavor.
Unfortunately, the main course was a letdown. The Veg Schezwan Fried Rice was very soggy, & the rice was only half-cooked & hard to chew. When we informed the staff, we were told that'this is how it is,' which was disappointing.
We also ordered Kattapa Mutton Biryani & faced the same issue-undercooked rice. This time, the staff acknowledged the mistake, apologized, & replaced it with Donne Mutton Biryani, which was decent. However, the rice & meat were cooked separately, which didn't feel authentic or make sense for a Donne biryani.
Overall, I had high expectations based on the starters, but the main course failed to live up to them.
