Shadaab Restaurant

This is the most authentic and best hyderabadi food I have ever had at a restaurant! The food all came out fresh and very flavorful.
The portion sizes are big and well priced.
My favorite dishes are the achari chicken, chicken tikka, goat biryani, and the butter naan is absolutely the best naan you’ll find on devon! The interior of the restaurant is really elegant and spacious and clean.
I wish there was a location in the suburbs but I’d still drive to the city over and over again to have this food again!

Best restaurant on Devon.
Loved the ambiance and food is amazing...
Have visited there 4 times already.
Perfect for family gatherings.
We had 2 birthday party celebrations here . We asked for the food to be spicy, so the chef made it perfectly spicy.

Dining at Shadaab was like a breath of fresh air on Devon compared to the other restaurants there.
Right when walking in, the interior is eye-catching — very modern and elegant at the same time, clean, and well lit.
I had the pleasure of running into one of the owners, Liyaqat, who was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer any questions or just chat — felt at home here.
The staff was also welcoming and hospitable, I came with a group of people and the staff was really patient and timely with the service.
The food was also amazing and perfection (well priced especially for the freshness and quality you get, great portions, and definitely tastes freshly made to order).
My favorite dish and star of the show was the goat biryani.
It is handsdown absolutely the BEST biryani I have ever tried (catered or at a restaurant) 11/10.
Other dishes I have tried are: achaari chicken (my personal second favorite dish 11/10 perfectly spicey for me and delicious), mixed kebab platter (a must try), chicken 65 (10/10), fish pakora/fry (10/10, best desi fish dish I’ve tried, was very fresh), chicken tikka (9/10), chicken pakora (8/10), and their special of the day was beef fried rice which was a very yummy desi-fied fried rice, my husband wanted the whole dish to himself haha was a 11/10 for him.
Their naan is also a must try.
Their desserts are amazing as well.
They have truly the best trifle I’ve ever had anywhere (I am not a usual fan of desi trifle because they are usually very liquidy and fruits are soggy but the one here was not over-liquidy at all like other desi trifles I’ve tried.
the custard was actually thick and set very well, their cake was flavorful, and the fruits were crispy and not mushy).
The trifle gets 11/10.
Gulab Jamun was also very good you can tell it is freshly made.
Loved their Saudi champagne mocktail, it was fruity and refreshing.
Definitely recommend this place, wish they will open a location in Lombard (the second mini Devon because they are missing an authentic Hyderabadi place like this that has amazing quality).
Nonetheless, will be commuting to Devon to come back to try more foods and will be a repeat customer.
Also will be catering from here for future parties :)
