    Worst restaurant experience in my entire life. To begin with, the place was EMPTY which should have said a lot, but my fiancée asked me to keep optimistic as the food is what really counts. Let's begin with the atmosphere. As well as being empty, a large TV was blaring out music, distracting our conversation. Also, a borderline pornographic music video came on screen while we waited for our food. I was gobsmacked that this could really be happening. Imagine if we had brought kids? Imagine if they had seen that? The food arrived and the starter (poppadoms and sauce tray) was ok but definitely not amazing. Then the main course arrived, my chicken curry which was disgusting. So overcooked and full of 'bits'. Appalling consistency. The waiter was very apologetic and gave me a Bhuna instead, though I'd rather he hadn't as I had lost my appetite by then. I wouldn't ever return, it's shockingly bad. Can't believe this place can call itself a restaurant. Not impressed. I would also like to add that upon further inspection, the dining area is FILTHY with streaked mirrors, dirty floor and tatty tables and cutlery (which we had to ask for) I've never known a restaurant where you have to ASK for cutlery. What a disgrace. Shut it down!

    DECENT BRADFORD CURRY! Located right on Fox's Corner, Shipley, Bradford, the Shama offers great food within a traditional Bradford curry house environment...simple, nowt fancy but delicious food thats well prepared and presented. The staff are very helpful. The size of the meals are generous. No alcohol is served. Parking can be tricky right outside the restaurant but theres plenty in the nearby area so its not a huge deal. Average prices. Well worth a visit.

    Ordered via Deliveroo. Food took 1.5 hours to arrive (45 mins longer than original delivery time) after restaurant initially claimed they'd not received order. Food was bland - like something from a jar, peshwari lacked any flavour, not even sure how to describe the onion bhaji - just BAD. Don't order from here.

    Very nice meal served with chappati and rice. Menu not immediately recognisable but dishes were familiar and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and you can bring your own bottle! Good prices. Staff attentive.

    First time there, so not sure what to expect. Poppadoms with pickle tray to start, not rushed by waiter, so relaxed eating. 4 Fish pakoras excellent, really tasty, others had seikh kebabs, spicy & flavoursome. Chicken kashmiri for me tasty but a bit too spicy for me. Others had hot chicken dishes all very tasty with plenty of rice, chapatis & large garlic naan. Generous portions, with tea lights to keep curries warm, nice touch. Will go again, I'm sure but will ask for a milder curry next time.

    Very fast service. We were still finishing off our starters when the main meal arrived the food was really lovely although we did find the madras very hot But that might be just us it could have been perfect for other people. The starters of kebabs was perfect. The waiter very polite and friendly. We went at 12.30 pm and the pace was spotless clean and tidy by 1pm it was quite busy . After coming out of the pub I would recommend going there to eat.
