    The owner replied that I lied. Not true. I am telling the truth and more than happy to come again tomorrow so you can say that to my face. Go ahead and tell me time and see I will be there. Waited 1hr20 for our food. The meat is definitely not fresh. 100% guaranteed. The waiter apologized but only at the time of the bill. He clearly saw we didn’t eat the food but didn’t care. My kids went away hungry because of this place tonight. Minus -10 out of 10 I paid 30€ on a bill of 54.95€ and walked away. Even that was too much and just out of charity.

    For this price I couldn't find better vegan food in Valencia! On the menu all vegan dishes are labeled, and for the buffet I was told every vegan dish upon asking. The buffet includes two different salads, samosas, pakoras, four vegetarian curries, three of which are vegan (according to the menu the lentil curry contains butter, but I was told it's supposed to be vegan), two kinds of rice, naan bread and different desserts. My visit here was the only time I wasn't still hungry after eating out in Valencia, too bad I didn't discover Shahi earlier. If you like Indian food, it's definitely worth a try!

    We went there as it seems to be the only indian buffet in valencia. On the plus side are the price (17€) and that (soft) drinks plus beer are included. On the negative side the food just does not taste good - with the exception of a fish mango curry and the naan bread everything else more or less had the same Glutamat enhanced taste. The less said about the desert options the better. They also do not really refill the buffet after 1530, at this point some dishes like the salad were out and were never refilled. Overall we will not come back which is a shame as this would have been a nice alternative to the many asian style buffets.

    This place would attract you with its cheap prices, but beware! The food quality, taste, service is not good at all! Our food came 35 mins post our ordering and some of our dishes didn't arrive at all! Please avoid!!

    Very good food, very nice staff and very good prices. The good sir serving us gave us great recommendations. We had a good time and most certainly had a very good dinner.

    Best Indian food in the town. I tried dinner buffet on my Valencia tour. Really awesome. Too many varieties with very good quality and cleanliness. They do have bar as well. Really liked the food and drinks.

    Me and friend tried the buffet and the food was decent enough for the price. The bad news are we both suffer from stomach pain afterwards. I'm not sure if it's the meat or the spicy food, but that is not acceptable. That's really a health hazard. Beware of that. *I never had diarrhea from eating too much...

    Really great buffet. I did feel some platters were not replenished after some time, though perhaps this is a symptom how good the good is. It goes quickly! Amazing vegetarian options too and great allergy notation.

    Good prices and very delicious food - just the rice isn’t included in the main course which i thought and then realised but it is also fine to just get some Naan with it. The staff is really friendly and not pressuring at all - i would definitely recommend going there :) (a lot of vegan options too!!)

    Edit: nice reply❗️I wasnt expecting anything less from you! First of all no waiter came and asked if the food was OK!? Their was a guy sitting outside warning other guest to leave as soon as possible because he was waiting for more than 2 hours to get his takeaway! There more complaining customers outside who regretted ordering food from your place! Talk about “man-o-salwa”, a professional who replies on an honest review like you has probably never heard about authentic Indian/Pakistani Cousine ! We are staying at one of Valencias Top Resorts and can therefore clearly different between poor food/service/standards. We’ve send all the food back! I dont know were you saw empty plates?! To add to the Fish Tikka situation: We ordered the grill plater without the Fish but still received dry Fish bits and some meat from an unknown animal. The whole platter was returned! But your reply proves that all the negative comments you received are true! You call everyone a liar who doesnt see eye to eye with you! ❗️Before the owner replies back in his rude way like he did on all other negative comments, I’d to say that if you look at all the positive comments they come from spanish people who have no idea how real “Pakistani/Indian food” taste like.❗️ I went with my husband and two children for dinner and our reservation was at 8pm. By the time starters were served it was 8.45pm. We had the mixed grill plater for starters and were so disappointed to see that the Seekh Kebabs werent made by hand instead they were those you buy frozen in a batch and reheat them in the microwave. Chicken Tikka was dry so was the fish Tikka. Around 9.30pm our main course was served. We ordered Lamb Curry, Biryani, 4 Naan and Chana Pulao. The Naan was served at around 10pm 😶. We didnt even touch the Naan because everyone was tired. The picture of the Lamb curry speaks for itself. It had a weird coconut flavour to it and was very watery. The Biryani had a hair in it. My kids complained about stomach pain after eating 4 spoons of their Chana Pulao. In Conclusion: We only ate 4-5 spoons of each dish and send everything back. We are from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and the food was just an insult. The waiter presented us a bill of 55€ for food that was hardly touched. After seeing our disappointed faces he gave us a discount of 17€. We gave him 30€ instead and left. I wish I gave those 30€ to a homeless person instead.

    Dont understand the 5 and 4 star reviews. probably from people with no taste buds, no self respect or probably paid. Disrespectful and arrogant “hospitality” from the manager who was closed to criticism. Eggplant (baingan bharta) was more a potato curry. Other curries were heavily water diluted and bland tasting. Came for basic service and acceptable tasting and quality food, and unfortunately did not find either at this restaurant.

    Beware. I had the buffet and then an upset stomach and diarrhea that night. I didn't eat anything in between so I know it was the buffet food. The person who was with me also had an upset stomach. I love Indian food but will not be returning to this restaurant. On a positive note, the service was very good.

    Not a bad place at all, nice staff, but a very modest curry (chicken madras , with a side of Palak paneer ). The special rice portion was very generous and tasted ok. Only one popodom for two people. Naan bread was very small. For the same price, we’ve had better Indian food. This is not to say that it was a bad experience, but felt like there was something lacking in taste . It was more like a curry that a foreigner /job Indian -Pakistani person would cook at home.

    We were there for Lunch Buffet. They had very good menu and it was really tasty. The staffs were really friendly. To be specific the mutton grill and gravy were excellent. If we go to Valencia then we go back again.

    The vegan food is amazing! Very tasty and good portions. There is no vegan dessert but you can have a nice tea.

Even for vegan friendly ☺️ the service was extraordinary friendly and professional even while the restaurant was booked up! We had a really nice evening. Thank you very much. Coming back again for sure ☺️

    There was a buffet option or a la carte. We chose the a la carte. Big portions and excellent value. Some of the mixed grill starter were slightly overdone, but otherwise everything was very tasty. Friendly waiter and the restaurant was busy with a good mix of Spanish and foreign clientèle.

  • 5/5 Julia E. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was very delicious and good service 😊 vegan options available

    For Buffet Price 17€ drink included. The food was very good nice staff. The food selection could have been a little larger. But i would recommend it.

  • 1/5 Saad R. 5 months ago on Google
    Everything was fine except the food. We went for the buffet, unfortunately, and most of the stuff was re-heated from before (by before I mean a few days before) and nothing was fresh. It was utterly disappointing.

  • 5/5 El R. 2 years ago on Google
    I just ate here with my family. They have a large selection of foods available as well as vegetarian options. They have seats inside and outside and also have a buffet which i very much recommended. Service was amazing and could not be faulted. I highly recommend families to come here too. Pricing was also okay. €60 for 4 people

  • 5/5 Opie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant, delicious good, lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Great quality for your money and very kind staff. I've been twice and I'll be sure to come again - 10/10!

  • 1/5 Irphan A. 8 months ago on Google
    This must be the worst Indian food I've ever eaten. The naan was tough and doughy, and the pakoras were the same. The buffet dishes were watery, and the rice was tough and stale. The service wasn't anything to cheer for either. We won't be coming back here."

  • 3/5 Asif R. 2 years ago on Google
    Dined today with my family. Mixed grill plate had some fresh and some old meat. This old meat and chicken was apparently repurposed and re-grilled - very dry and hard to chew. Other items were okay. Service was good.

  • 5/5 Hans P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh and very delicious food. But for me the rice was pretty dry

  • 5/5 alberto l. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best Indian restaurants that have been in my life. I have been here with my girlfriend attracted by reviews and we haven't regretted it at all, 12 euros for the buffet menù that includes so many different and tasty plates that you can't try them all plus unlimited beer and drinks, I'll definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Marco K. 11 months ago on Google
    The meals were all very delicious! The service was great! We can highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Joshua M O. 10 months ago on Google
    Really great place and enjoyable. Hospitality was superb and food really good. Value for money, I'm stuffed from the buffet and very enjoyable experience with impeccable customer service!

  • 5/5 Lucas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went twice to shahi restaurant and on both ocassions, the food and service was great. We went for the buffet when we first visited. Food was well presented, freshly prepared and full of flavours. Second visit and we chose to order from the menu. The food was again equally very appetizing and tasty. Waiter was really friendly and polite. I can recommend this restaurant and we will be back again.

  • 5/5 Mopreme 11 months ago on Google
    This restaurant offers everything you need. The service is really friendly and the food is according to the restaurant halal. They seem to also serve alcohol but that’s another story, the friendly restaurant explained the situation and guaranteed it’s halal. All you can eat buffet has a lot to offer, even dessert.

  • 5/5 Lotte Van De S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this place two times now. Once in 2019 and recently. Both times it was a very pleasant experience. Even for me as a celiac (gluten free). The food is very tasteful for a small price. Also, the service is excellent!

  • 1/5 Malvika B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was tasteless. Other than that the behaviour of owner was very rude and arrogant. He had no idea how to behave with the guests. Completely avoid going to this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Leah S. 5 years ago on Google
    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I have been on a mission to find the best indian food in Spain and I think this is it. Not to mention the great prices and extensive consideration for any dietary restrictions or allergies. Amazing service and super fresh flavorful food. These guys have really done it right!
