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!

We had a fantastic dining experience at SHAAZ Restaurant. The food quality & taste were truly impressive. We started with the Mutton Paya soup, which was rich, aromatic, & full of deep flavor. For starters, the Chilli Chicken was perfectly spicy & crispy, & the Haleem was thick, smooth, & very authentic in taste.

For the main course, the Dhaba Style Chicken Curry was outstanding with its traditional spices & homestyle flavor. The Nalli Nihari was the highlight of the meal - the meat was extremely tender & the gravy was rich & delicious. It paired perfectly with the soft Garlic Naan & freshly made Roomali Roti.

We also enjoyed a refreshing Mango Lassi, which was creamy, sweet, & the perfect drink with the meal.

The restaurant atmosphere at SHAAZ was warm, clean, & very welcoming. A special thanks to our service staff Akshitha, who was very polite, attentive, & friendly throughout our visit.

We finished with Shahi Tukda, which was sweet, creamy, & absolutely delightful. Overall, an excellent experience with great food, wonderful service, & a lovely ambiance. Highly recommended!❤?

Great food & a wonderful dining experience overall. The Telangana Spicy Chicken & Desi Hakka Noodles were absolutely fabulous. The service stood out just as much as the food. Akshitha was especially welcoming, attentive, & made us feel comfortable throughout. Highly recommend this place.

Mediocre. Food was decent. Naan was great, Chana masala was good, saag was not good & was more so green cream & chicken. They have potential & some dishes are good but need to work on some things. Would be great to also clean a bit more, the bottom of walls etc are black & don't give you a great feeling.

We came here with our friends & we had a great time & wonderful food. We tried shahi chicken kurma aside chili onion breads, butter, garlic breads & also fried mutton briyani tasted really authentic. I personally suggest them for their service. Thanks to serveuse sukwinder.

I went with a group of friends & tried a variety of dishes. The chicken hakka noodles were the showstopper. The mutton haleem was also really good, & the starters were great. We ended with a mango lassi, which was a perfect finish.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Food is really good, we got different chicken biryani dishes & they were both excellent ! The spice, the taste, the rice everything is really good, I'll go back for sure. Portions are really good too! The service was excellent too.

Vraiment délicieux, la soupe au mouton est une des meilleures choses que j'ai pu goûter dans un restaurant indien. Les plats végétariens sont très bons, le chicken Korma vraiment savoureux. Les pains naans valent le coup car moins coûteux que dans d'autres restaurants. Bon accueil souriant !

The chicken 65 is my favorite!! It is so rich. The species have a perfect balance. The gravy is so tasty. I also like the Keshimir chai. The flavor & the pink color make me feel happy.
