Shajan

Went here on Mothering Sunday with family. We had pre-booked a table, thankfully! The restaurant was full. I have never been to a restaurant so busy! Plenty of staff on duty. We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival. Orders swiftly taken and before we knew it, starters had arrived. All freshly cooked! These and main course were amazing. Very tasty and authentically made. There was no delay with our meals, despite the entire restaurant being fully booked and people waiting.
This restaurant is very well organised, efficient and with friendly staff. There was nothing to fault and is possibly the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in! For the quality, the prices are reasonable in my opinion. I will definitely be going again, although would like to try it when it is not so busy. I am already recommending this place to family and friends alike. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....!

Shajan has been my favourite Indian restaurant for the past 10 years now. The standard and quality is consistently higher than anywhere else I’ve ever been to. The staff are always wonderfully warm and attentive and the atmosphere is fantastic , making for a great evening out for dinner. I’ve tried lots of different dishes but can say their Tandoori mixed grill (in the picture attached) is the best and the accompanying madras sauce was top notch. A must try for anyone who likes Indian cuisine

Disappointed. This was our first visit here with friends, who come regularly. They even asked at the end of the meal was it a new chef as they order the same dish every time and this time they were not the same. The service and atmosphere is very good, but the food left a lot to be desired. I had the mixed starter it came out cold the seek kebab was like rubber and the Samosa was just soaked in oil and grease. The main courses came my wife ordered the half tandoori chicken with a sauce (£18) it came out with 2 legs, the waiter asked how the food was. I explained we did not get half a chicken, but 2 legs he apologised and asked if I wanted a breast to take home. Our friends main dish was very watery and they gave them the same dish to take home. I then went to pay, I again explained that the main course was not way I ordered and showed him the picture. He basically said well you wife ate it. Not good attitude. So unfortunately will not be going again. We may have just been unlucky, but at £130 we will not be taking the chance again.

Onion bhaji and chicken pakado in starters are the best 5/5
Garlic nan 5/5
Papad is good and papad chutneys are just okaish
Curry sauce is good
Meat samosa taste sweet I actually confused
Kebab is good
myself thinking that did I order any sweet samosa 0/5
Now coming to my favourite part chicken biryani this is not bhiryani guys and this is not layer bhiryani either though taste is okaish and chicken in bhiryani is well marinated and well cooked
Over all must try restaurant I’m gonna visit this place again to try more different dishes

Good food, staff are always asking if everything is ok or do you need anything, almost to the point of being annoying but it is worth putting up with it for the food. Had drinks in the bar first, nice and comfortable seating area. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side.
