    We are new to the area and sampling all curry restaurants in the area. This is up there with the best. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and accomodating. The restaurant is cosy and comfortable. The food is absolutely amazing, fresh and full of flavour. The prawn puree was exceptional, lovely touch adding tamarind sauce on the side. We tried some of the Nepalese dishes, we weren't disappointed, deep and rich in flavour and the vegetable sides were a delicious. The staff offered a complimentary drink at the end. Note free car parking on site. All in all a wonderful evening, we will definitely be back again.

    Every dish inside and out of the container covered in excessive oil, nicely cooked meat as it wasn’t tough but the flavours were not there. Roti was like cardboard, everything just so oily. Never again

    It was a quiet time when we went for dinner. To be fair, the reviews for this place were great. Personally I did not like the food served nor the service. There was a huge delay for the food to arrive. The food was not great and we left behind most of what was ordered. It was probably a one off. Will give it a try again as the reviews were pretty decent. First time was definitely a bad experience.

    We ordered chilli chicken and bhuna chicken and there was no difference in taste. They were both bland and the chicken was dry. The naan had parts that were uncooked. If you have a taste for authentic Indian food (like if you’re Indian), I would not recommend.

    First time trying local restaurant, was an after work meal so was very hungry. Food was ok what I was flabbergasted most was the staff member. She didn’t look clean and skin didn’t look adhering to the point I didn’t want my dinner to be touched by the staff. I’m never one to complain but was shocked at the behaviour either was under the influence or was mentally unwell. I wouldn’t be returning as I’m sorry I didn’t enjoy my meal with me and my partner as we were put off by the staff member. Food was ok took a long time as the staff were busy talking amongst themselves.

    So pleased that the Shahi has opened as a restaurant again and as a bonus they serve alcohol. No one wants to take their own drinks!!! The food is amazing and they have an excellent selection to suit all. Best Sag Aloo I’ve ever had. Ordered 4 main meals and sides and all were perfect. Staff are very friendly and very keen to please you. Excellent service. Nothing negative to say. Can’t wait to go back.

    Ordered our first ever takeaway from here on Thursday after reading positive reviews. Food was not very tasteful and was not piping hot. Figured it’s pretty cold out no big deal. Wrong! Myself and my kids all experienced nausea and stomach upsets, myself being immunocompromised, I have been unwell for three days so far since having this meal and may be heading into a flare of my illness as consequence. I don’t like to leave bad reviews and I’m sorry but I feel like i should warn other medically compromised people. Hopefully it was a one off from this restaurant but I will go back to my regular one in the future.

    Did not feel welcomed, couple of kids on counter who needed some learning. 90 percent place empty but did not get a seat owing to fully booked..

  • 5/5 dave s. 1 year ago on Google
    Really struggled for an Indian restaurant in Bracknell as a visitor but decided to plump for Shahi (bit of a walk from town centre) & what a great meal. The service was great backed up by tasty food, would definitely recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Graham 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Unlikely location for a good restaurant (parade of shops on housing estate) but could not fault it. Really good food, service and value.

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had two servers who were very polite, food was up there with the best Indian food I have had,and I've been to a few curry houses in my time, the atmosphere in the resteraunt was welcoming and very nicely decorated. Will be visiting again in the near future.

  • 5/5 Roger V. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good experience. Lost in translation but loved the family and friendly atmosphere. The service comes with a smile which it replaces the lack of language. Food is amazing and the chutneys are homemade. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 garry r. 1 year ago on Google
    Was hard to find a decent restaurant in Bracknell but dropped on this place. We had been working out of town and arrived not far from closing, the staff could not be more helpful and made us feel really welcome, the food was stunning really couldn’t recommend it enough, we went back home to hull with fond memories of this place. Many many thanks lads,

    In Bracknell for a few days. Went to this restaurant purely on review. As had 5 star rating. Food was good, service was good. Staff and owners cared on our experience of food and comfort. If ever in Bracknell again. Would revisit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 Yamini C. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely friendly staff . Catered very well to our food requirement.. I ordered Rezala veg and chilli chicken which was delicious. I would recommend to dine in .

  • 1/5 Irina M. 2 years ago on Google
    It used to be a great Indian restaurant…. unfortunately not anymore . Tonight we ordered a takeaway , all the dishes were poor , very bland, watery( like someone use frozen curry sauces and forgot the seasoning ) it was oily. The chicken was rubbery and not cooked ( pink inside), all dishes going in the bin. Will not use this place again and would not recommend to anyone else.

    We recently returned to the Shahi as they had changed ownership during the first lockdown and later reopened but without serving alcohol. They now do have a bar and serve alcohol and as a result people are willing to give it a try. Their previous owners set the bar extremely high and this was possibly the biggest thing the new owners have had to overcome. Since we have returned to the Shahi we have been impressed. The decor is bright, modern yet still retains it's culture and I love the addition of Bollywood music on a TV screen. It's not intrusive, it's there should u want to look at it or just listen to it. The food was excellent. We had the mixed starter for two. It had very generous portions so maybe keep that in mind if ordering a large main menu. The mains were delicious, I had lamb naga masala which was hot but still flavoursome, my partner had garlic chilli chicken. The heat depending on how many chillis you scooped onto your plate. All good portions although we struggled to finish because we had the starter and poppadoms before, so maybe we will forego one of those next time. Whilst they have not yet met the very highest standards set by previous owner , Pom, we feel the food is excellent and we now feel we have our local Indian Restaurant back and it is a place we are happy to recommend.

  • 5/5 Anthony S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the first time that I have ordered food with the Shahi Indian since it changed hands, and I have to say it was superb! I ordered a collection which was on time and the food was piping hot, tasty and delicious. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Alisa G. 1 year ago on Google
    Banging Indian food! The Bombay potatoes and aubergine bhaji in particular were amazing! Only thing is loads of big onions in curry, but it's big portions so those can be picked out.

  • 5/5 Jon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a meal with my son as has been recently updated and opened. Really nice atmosphere, guys working there were really friendly and helpful. Food was really good and chicken pieces were succulent and tender. Great place to eat and definitely will be going back soon.

  • 5/5 Nunu O. 6 years ago on Google
    I LOVEEEE THIS RESTAURANT!!! THEIR BUTTER CHICKEN IS THE BEST!! I have been eating here for the past 2 years and honestly is the best INDIAN I have ever tasted I cannot go anywhere else!! I have tried Indian in different places and it just isn't the same. So I'm lucky I live only 5 mins away from them and can get it at anytime. Honestly I highly recommend this restaurant above all the other Indian restaurants in the local area.

  • 3/5 Harish 3 years ago on Google
    Very decent takeaway with good portion sizes. I ordered garlic chilli chicken, haryali chicken and tandoori roti. Haryali chicken is slightly salty but rest is all spotless. The chicken is extremely tender and juicy. Service is excellent and the young lady at the counter is very polite and humble. I'll definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Tejas P. 1 year ago on Google
    They have improved over the time. It used to be coloured and sweet curries but now it's just right. I would recommend. It has reasonable price in the area!

  • 4/5 Nick 2 years ago on Google
    Local takeaway and restaurant. I've only tried the takeaway and really enjoy their Nepali dishes. Sherpa rice is a big favourite in our house. Our preferred takeaway for the time being.

  • 5/5 Tina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, different dishes as well as classics. Friendly staff. Not crowded. Highly recommend. Can order as takeaway through their own website or other apps.

  • 5/5 Craig H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely meal with my family this evening. Tasty food with decent portion sizes and reasonable prices. No alcohol is served which could appeal to those on a budget, we just had soft drinks. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and a pleasant experience, thankyou 👍
