Literally the best Indian food I've ever had, & that includes my experiences back home in India! As someone who knows authentic Indian flavors, I was blown away by the taste, quality & ambiance (especially their playlist). If you visit, you have to try the Mutton Ghee Roast Mandi & Haleem, they're my favourites!

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!❤?
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.
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.

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.
Delicious food with an Amazing ambience. exceptional service by Shree. Despite being so busy they handled the customers & the perfectly cooked food was served. Especially Mutton items.
Ordered mutton masala. worst taste I have ever had. The server makes face when called, I don't know why they don't hire servers with no attitude. Not even crowded.
Best Mandi in the town. I recommend Mutton ghee roast Mandi. Service by Sukhwinder was commendable. she was really professional & keen to give better sevice
A totally satisfied meal. Had the naan, chicken tikka masala & mutton donne biryani. Truly enjoyed the taste. As a person from Bangalore the donne biryani brought so much memories. Jamoon for dessert made it complete 😋
The only good thing here was quick service.
Food is mediocre at best. One thing they really need to work on is that pungent lingering smell very off putting.
We tried the paneer tikka-avg, garlic naan - good & mutton ghee roast Mandi - not good.
