Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Shanaz has been offering takeaway food for many years. It's a small, basic shop where you can see the food being prepared on the grills behind the guy who takes the orders. Good takeaway food, very fairly priced and prepared quickly. For 4 main...meals (Chicken Tikka (2), Chicken Tikka Masala, Green Herb Chicken) plus rice it averaged about £10 a head, so very competitive pricing. they've now got a certificate on the wall saying that they've got an award in a competition for takeaways in this part of Scotland. At this point they are cash-only which is pretty rare but there's a post office cash machine across the road. Definitely recommendedMore

Ok so I’ve been a loyal customer to a curry house elsewhere in Edinburgh for about 20 years ( I’ll not name it ) but recently saw that Shanaz won Scottish curry award so gave them a try . 2 curry’s , Nan, a mixed...starter and popadoms and dips for 40 pound. Great portions after both of us had two helpings and still had leftovers. Butter chicken was delicious, as was the chilli chicken. Good food , will definitely have again. .More

The worst food ever. The chicken was full of red chilli powder abd had no other flavor. The naan was thick. We could not eat the food at all

This small hole in the wall take away turns out incredible food at very reasonable prices. The lamb is always lean and tender ( none of the fat and gristle you often get in other places), and the sauces are amazing. Good selection of standard...dishes as well as a lot of house specialties that are definitely worth trying. Highly recommended.More

I have to say the chicken tikka was banging. I'm pretty much a world curry expert (not) but I'll probably be back for more of this tackle.

We were delighted with our takeaway orders. The food was well seasoned and very tasty, the portion sizes were huge, and it was inexpensive. On top of that, service was fast; 20 minutes from the time we placed our order online until we picked it...up. The Chicken Tikka Biryani was loaded with tender chicken, the Madras Vegetable was loaded with vegetables in a nicely spiced sauce. We are looking forward to the leftovers. Nicely done.More

We just arrived at Stockbridge and was looking for a quick dinner. Indian food in UK is always a safe bet so we went for it. Portion was big. Order for 2 was enough for 3. Best of all, taste was good. Food always taste...better when you can see it cooked in front of you.More

We have ordered few times already and we were happy with its quality. We didn't want to order again Jalfrezi because it was too spicy than the others normal Jalfrezi but we loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. This time we ordered Chicken Saag instead of...chicken Jalfrezi. Oh surprise, It was terrible!! Chicken Tikka Masala was very terrible taste with a yellow colour, very creamy and very few peaces of meat floating in a container full of that terrible sauce. We received Chicken Palak instead of Chicken Saag and it was also very bad, tasteless. I wouldn't recommend this place and I would definitely go elsewhere.More

One of the best Indians we have had and the fact it’s a take away is all the better!! It is on the more expensive side but you get what you pay for!

I love the food here. I live locally and have been here loads of times and it never fails to disappoint! The Mixed Grill from the tandoori section of the menu is an absolute must. So tasty.

I've ordered many times from Shanaz over the years, and it has always been delicious. Many Indian takeaways taste as though every dish has the same sauce, but Shanaz has always been different: each dish tasted different from each other. This time, we ordered five...or six different dishes, and they all had the same overly sweet red sauce. Their tarka dhal in particular, used to be fabulous and just tasted tired and slightly burnt. Very disapointed.More

This is our second meal from this restaurant. The first was takeaway. It was very good! Our second meal was tonight. We decided to eat in. Even though the restaurant eating area is very small, it was clean and friendly. But most importantly, the food...was once again, fabulous! Very flavorful and plenty enough to take home leftovers for another tasty meal. We will be back! Next time I’ll take pictures of the food!More

Stockbridge & Dean Village
Just downhill of New Town and attractively straddling
a river near the elegant Royal Botanic Garden, it’s
small wonder that Stockbridge became one of the city’s
first hip neighbourhoods. It’s now one of Edinburgh’s
most desirable, though many bohemian touches have
fallen away as its residents have matured and the area
has gentrified. Some second-hand shops cling on, but
mostly residents display refined tastes in basement
