Shaaz Indian Cuisine

What is Shaaz Indian Cuisine? Taking over a massive two-storey footprint on the Danforth corridor in Greektown, Shaaz Indian Cuisine brings Scarborough’s celebrated Hyderabadi and Arabian-influenced cooking to Toronto's east end. Founded on old-school royal bawarchi recipes, the cavernous space features sweeping dining areas, a mezzanine level, and expansive booth seating engineered for group banquets and family-style meals.

Shaaz Indian Cuisine Menu & What to Order Slow-cooked Arabian mandi platters and traditional Hyderabadi dum biryanis anchor the kitchen, pairing aromatic, pit-steamed basmati rice with fall-apart mutton or tender chicken. Kick things off with wok-tossed Chicken 65 or rich ghee-roasted mutton folded into delicate, paper-thin roomali roti, and do not miss the weekend batches of slow-simmered haleem. The entire menu is 100% halal with extensive vegetarian options, and a hot cup of spiced Irani chai makes for a classic finish.

Know Before You Go Given the massive 200-plus capacity, walk-ins find seating quickly during weekday lunch and afternoon hours, though weekend dinner rushes draw large celebratory groups that fill the main floor. The restaurant sits just steps west of Chester subway station on Line 2, with several Green P parking lots situated immediately north and south of Danforth Avenue. Shaaz operates daily, serving lunch continuously through late-night dining.
