Shampan

Not been for nearly 5 years and was pleasantly surprised. Due to change of management some time ago The Shampan has gone from zero to hero. The food was excellent and value for money and the staff are friendly and attentive. Very impressed so much so that we booked for Xmas day. Well done to chef and all the staff.

I've given this 3 stars because I do enjoy takeaways from here, but on the occasions I've sat in, the service has been really bad. There were one or two waiters who just seemed to have a bad attitude. I tried ordering a paratha, and was told that it was too much effort for the chef to make, which was bewildering. This was also after they tried to push the 8 course menu onto us, which despite being good value, would've been way too much for me to manage. There were some staff, however who were genuinely lovely, polite, friendly and were a credit to the place, but the dining in experience was overshadowed by the difficult ones. As stated previously, the food is excellent, and I still get takeaways from here.

Food was lovely but the hygiene at this restaurant was atrocious! We had to be moved 3 times due to insects running all over our table and cutlery, the first table they moved us to was over run with even more insects at which point the only place they could move us to was the middle of the room which had the same problem as before, we tried to carry on with our meal but it wasn't long until we had then crawling all over our naan and rice! When I brought this up with who I assume to be the manager he shrugged us off and told us he will take £10 of our bill to which I refused. He stood and argued with us for a further 10m which involved telling my partner to be quiet and to just pay and leave. It's a shame that the poor hygiene and poor customer service ruin this restaurant as the food was just lovely! I just wonder what the kitchen is like after this experience...
