We ordered for takeaway, a group of 8. Staff on the phone and at collection were very polite and friendly. Food was presented perfectly and hot fresh ready for collection. The food was fantastic and I would definitely recommend if in the area.

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

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.

This is the best curry we’ve tasted in over ten years. We are up on holiday in the area and it was recommended to us; we were not disappointed. The depth of flavours in the curries were wonderful and my onion bhajis were amazing too and I’ve eaten a few in my time!! If we are passing here again we will definitely stop by.

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....!
