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.

I had a very disappointing experience at Shaaz Restaurant in Montreal downtown . We visited yesterday & placed our order, but it took almost 45 minutes for the food to be served. & it was cold Waiting that long without any proper update from the staff was extremely frustrating.

The **environment was also not good **& did not feel welcoming or comfortable at all.

When you go out to eat, you expect good service & a pleasant atmosphere, but unfortunately this place failed on both. Because of the slow service, unfriendly staff, & bad environment, I would not recommend this restaurant to others.

Would recommend keeping inside area clean, especially floor. Entrance, ceilings, side walls. Apart from that great food taste, value for money

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...
