Shama Takeaway

"I have been getting curry from here for years, always lovely and fresh. Unfortunately this evening my order arrived and cold, wet chips and the garlic Nan not cooked properly and lacking garlic. I rang Shama and was offered a fresh order so that was positive. I didn’t take the offer of fresh chips etc. just a shame as it’s usually fantastic."

"Disgusting food. They scored 1 star for their food hygiene. Its even on the news. Wouldn't recommend to anyone if they value their health"

"We go here occasionally as its walking distance, chicken is always soft, cooked very well. Japaties are lovely and thin, sauce smooth. However its ALWAYS too spicy hot, even though we ALWAYS ask for mild (hoping to get medium). We would get food more often but it s too spicy or it would have got 5 stars."

"First time we have ordered from here. It was amazing! Fresh tomatoes and chillies . Was not greasy like normally get from take outs. Got to think after this it will be our favourite. Really enjoyed the food"

"First time order; Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Sizzling Karahi, 12" Garlic Margherita and 12" Create Your Own Pizza (Chicken Breast, Ham, Pepperoni, Salami and Peppers). We also got a salad, two small tubs of mint sauce and two lemon hand wipes, which we presume are freebies. Let's get the negative points out of the way; the portion size of the curries is a little small for the price (£7.45 with Chappatis). The Chappatis are so thin you can see light through them (please see the picture). I have removed a star because of portion size against price. Chicken Tikka Masala was extremely tasty and the chicken was tender, probably one of the best takeaway ones we've had in a long time. Lamb Sizzling Karahi, my go-to curry if it's on the menu and will always go with the addition of spinach. The Shama didn't disappoint on the taste, although a little spicier than I would normally have, I should have guessed this from the Sizzling Karahi :-). Although the Chappatis were thin (the skill to get them that thin and still not split when used, has got to be admired!), the three of them was just about the right amount to the portion of curry and they did the job well. 12" Garlic Margherita, wasn't greasy as most takeaways use garlic butter, but not The Shama, it tasted like they had used crushed garlic as it tasted of garlic! 12" Create Your Own Pizza, had everything that was asked for but for some reason didn't have a huge amount of them, so wasn't as tasty as we were expecting for the price. It was a little greasy, but that is expected as it was mostly meat. The base on both pizzas were a little thicker than I would have liked, but they were soft, as were the crusts. The salad consisted of one slice of cucumber chopped in half, two wedges of tomato which might be half of a tomato and the rest of the box filled with onion, although not much of a salad it all seemed very fresh."
