A really nice restaurant. The staff were really friendly and exceptionally helpful. The food was brilliant, tasty with wonderful spices. Got to day hello to the chef who was a great chap.Vegetarian options: As with many British Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants, veg options for most dishesDietary restrictions: Staff were really on the ball checking for gluten in the dishes and reporting quickly when my choices conflicted with my dietary restrictions

It took 55mins to get 3 pop adoms. No drinks or anyhing. Vote with your feet and close his place. Shame!!!

The meal was tasty. A shame the evening was spoilt by an hour's wait between starter and main course. When we questioned the delay it was a lame excuse trying to say ours was complicated. Nothing fancy, from the normal menu. How can that be complicated.

Absolutely delicious food. Greeted and seated whilst we placed our order, offered a drink from the bar. Food was definitely worth the wait. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very conscious of dietary requirements which is great to see. Would highly recommend ?

My family and I have been eating at the Shapla for over thirty years, we go back most weeks and eat either in the restaurant or we get a take away, it is without any doubt in my mind one of the very best Tandoori restaurant take aways in the East of England, my wife is from Birmingham and knows her currys, she gives them ten from ten. I have no affiliation to Shapla other than we like the food and the service, Imran and his crew always deliver good food and a great cost 100% recommend

I visited on 24 July and found that the curry was extremely disappointing. I ordered a Take Away curry and received a dye coloured red sticky water that had about as much flavour as a bottle of Evian mineral water. It simply tasted of nothing at all ! If you enjoy water with red dye inside that is absolutely empty / neutral in flavour, then this is a great curry house. To top matters off, sly staff charge a few more pounds than the amount listed on their menu board ( despite a take -away supposedly being the other way around ) though while this is not really an issue, it does say a lot about the operators here. A cost cutting greedy establishment that provide a very low quality food. You have been warned !

Heard great things about this restaurant, so wanted to try, Atmosphere was dire , server was polite but quiet . Food tasted nice but meat very dry , like frozen before being cooked . Not exciting and not reallyInterested in going back .

The Shapla delivered a wonderful selection of curries and sides for our Explorer Unit to try, to coincide with Eid as part of our programme. Thank you so much!
