I would definitely recommend Shapla to all my family and friends. We were lucky to get a table so it's best to book. Having sampled the menu I would consider ordering a take away too. However, the staff and service is so welcoming that it's worth eating in.👌🏻😋
The food was *** FANTASTIC*** however I was a little surprised my Chicken Madras had very little heat for such a known fiery dish, however the chicken was tender and the sauce was very moreish to say the least ! All my accompanying dishes (chips, rice, and plain naan bread) were all above average with the naan being my favourite. The only minor criticism(s) I have (and I’m aware it was a Saturday night) is that it felt like we were all packed in like Sardines and the service could have been a lot more attentive i.e no upselling was done (our table could have been given more opportunities to purchase additional drinks, but we were never asked except at the start of the evening) I would definitely visit again though, if just for the food alone - Thank you
You won't be disappointed with this excellent restaurant. I have been using it as my " go to" curry house for three years. The food is outstanding and the service has always been spotless. One time, the owner was trying a new dish. He asked me to sample it free of charge. It was delicious!
Wow. Fantastic massive menu. So many new dishes I had never heard of. The food tasted amazing. One of the best curry houses I have ever been too. Well done.
We ordered a takeaway for collection and it was really lovely. Very friendly staff, and the food was really tasty and good quality. We really liked the variety of choice on the menu as well. We will definitely be ordering again!
Friendly welcome from the staff and the environment was clean and comfortable. The service was always efficient and it seemed a popular restaurant.
The dips with the poppadoms were creative and interesting, with the Roshoni Chilli Chicken having a depth of flavour and spice that was well balanced. The chicken was tender and moist, with a flavour from the curry.
Would return and prices were reasonable.
We came for lunch for our wedding anniversary, and it was fabulous. The server was really professional and efficient, not too intrusive, even though we were the only diners, but incredibly helpful when needed. The quality of the food was impeccable, and really tasty too. We shared dishes so we each chose a main dish we specifically wanted. I love a good curry but am not usually all that enthusiastic about tandoori and tikka dishes, but the tandoori mixed grill (my husband's choice) was so well executed I will definitely have it again. The next time can't come round soon enough.
Would definitely come for a quiet couples Indian again!
We live walking distance so decided to celebrate an anniversary. We used the website to book a table 6pm on a Saturday.
Surprisingly I’d say about 3 other tables out of the 20 available had people on but it wasn’t too quiet. We were served very promptly and this excellent service continued throughout.
The food was very good. We ordered our usual chicken tikka masala, pilau rice, sag aloo and onion bhaji.
Outstanding chicken tikka masala and rice. The sag aloo was tasty but usually the potatoes and spinach are served separately.
The onion bhaji was slightly doughy in the middle but this didn’t stop us from eating it.
I would definitely come again.
Best tandoori restaurant I’ve been too! Amazing service! Fresh ingredients nothing is processed, great if you are vegan or vegetarian too! They go above and beyond to cater for any dietary needs, food is cooked to a very high standard and the people who work there are so welcoming and friendly! The restaurant it’s self is lovely and has a great atmosphere! I fully recommend eating in or taking away!
Food was excellent, service was basically immediate. A bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it when considering the quality. I would recommend the garlic chicken tikka as it was a superb dish.
Lovely meal celebrating our birthdays. The Staff were very friendly as usual as we've been there several times.
Have visited many times over the years and had numerous takeaways. It has been a bit up and down but the latest owners/management are doing a good job. Food is good and staff very professional and friendly.
Food was good, service was friendly. Looking forward to trying eating in instead of takeaway.
Had a take away from her this weekend and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Called in to order, 20% discount for collecting. In less than hour we had ordered, collected and eaten it all ..... Fab food, fab service and fab price, will definitely be going there again !!
Just had yet another great meal with the family at Shapla. Great service, great food and always a warm welcome from the boss.
Have eaten here and ordered take away on a number of occasions.
Premises clean, tidy with an authentic Indian restaurant atmosphere.
Staff polite, professional, helpful and attentive.
Food tasty, fresh and portions generous.
Price cheap in my opinion, when you factor in the service and also the discount available when collecting take away.
Owner very much the heart of the restaurant, passionate, proud, hard working and a truly likeable decent fella that always has time for his customers.
Verdict: 5 stars and well worth a visit.
Had take out . Easy to order by phone . Food portions generous though I found the chicken tikka masala very very sweet with no spicing. This was the same for the sag paneer. Both very bland.
