Review Summary

Shaaz is widely recognized for offering authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, with many patrons praising the quality of dishes like the biryanis, mandi, and various chicken specialties. While the food consistently earns high marks for its taste and generous portions, the overall dining experience remains divided due to inconsistent service and varying levels of restaurant cleanliness. Many visitors highlight the exceptionally friendly and attentive service provided by certain staff members, which creates a welcoming atmosphere, though others report frustrating wait times, disorganized operations, and occasional issues with food consistency or menu pricing. Despite these mixed reviews regarding operational efficiency and environment, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking delicious, aromatic meals in the heart of the city.

We waited a while but the food was delicious. Waiter suggested the Rogan Josh with mutton, it was rated very spicy but it was not, just a perfect taste. Boneless chicken Biryani was also fantastic. We took home leftovers. We will return!

Amazing authentic Indian cuisine with South Indian tadka. Their biryanis & Chinese Schezwan noodles are a must try.

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...

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.

I am terribly disappointed with the quantity & taste of Chicken 65. I just ordered it & it is overly salted & the portion size is a trick. It is 3/4 of the regular container for the same price as their biryani. I should have ordered the biryani because of the price atleast I would have had the rice to soak up salt. I cannot believe that Shaaz would do this. As a customer who values traditional food, this place is terrible with portion sizes for delivery. Paying 20 dollars to receive something that even Tim hortons would do a better job! I would advise the store owners to do better rather than telling people not to come here. I enjoyed other platters but for the chicken 65, I would rate 0/10 for today. The portion seems full but the box is very flat & small.
