Shaaz is praised for flavorful food, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with many reviews highlighting items like mutton mandi, biryani, haleem, dhaba style chicken curry, and paneer dishes, as well as a broad menu that includes both vegetarian and non vegetarian options; service is often described as friendly and attentive, with guests noting helpful recommendations and accommodating spice levels, though a few visits report slow or inconsistent service during busy times and isolated issues with timing or cold dishes; the ambiance and value for money are frequently mentioned as positives, and many reviewers say they would return or recommend Shaaz for gatherings or special occasions; some diners note occasional lapses such as undercooked rice or uneven consistency, but overall sentiment is strong and Shaaz is regularly regarded as one of the city's best Indian restaurants.
We walked in to the restaurant 5 minutes prior to our reservation & the restaurant was filthy….immediate red flag. I believe they might have been too busy & very under staffed. Regardless, they didn't seem to have our reservation despite my email confirmation, & seemed surprised once we mentioned it. After waiting again while they figured out seating, they appeared hesitant to sit us & ended up leading us upstairs. The stairs- that were at one point red & now were completely riddled with dirt- led us to an empty dining room & a table that wasn't even ready for us after several minutes of waiting. Although we still maintained high hopes, we decided to leave due to their lack of service or care to our party.

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!
WORST RESTAURANT. THE MANAGER CHARGE US FOR THE UNCOOKED BIRYANI THEY SERVED US NOT JUST 1 BUT 3. NEVER SEEN WORST MANAGER & MANAGEMENT BEFORE THAN THIS.
The order was completely unacceptable. The food was burnt to the point of being inedible-this should never have been sent out. This reflects extremely poor quality control & lack of basic standards. I will not be paying for unusable food & expect a full refund immediately. Please resolve this without delay.
'Akshita provided amazing service & was very friendly & professional. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, & the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommended - will definitely visit again!'
