Had an amazing experience at Shaaz! The food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor, fresh, & perfectly cooked. Every dish really stood out.
What made it even better was the excellent service. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was just right. Truly appreciated the warm hospitality.
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food & top-notch service!
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 went for Lunch on Labour day in 2025. The food was great. Very nice ambiance. Servers were great too !! Will come back again for sure!!❤?❤?
Changing my review as of March 18,2026 as the old Shaaz doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Today we went & sat for more than 30 minutes. The restaurant wasn't even that crowded. The server didn't bother to come & take our order whereas people coming after us almost finished their food & about to leave.
Customer service is the front part of your business, & if that primary need doesn't get catered cause your server as she said' I forget' then maybe it's high time to change your server & bring people who care about actually serving people!!!!!!
We finally left without having food as the customer service made us lose our appetite!!!

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.
