Sandy M.

This is the longest standing Indian restaurant in Hamilton, and for good reason - the food is excellent. I have traveled all over India, and have been eating Indian food for over 25 years, and can say the dishes are largely authentic and delicious - including the butter chicken. The chefs and owners are Bengali, which is quite common in Indian restaurants - Bengalis and Sikhs seem to be the prevalent restauranteurs in Canada. I have a friend that prefers the butter chicken at Shenai, but we have agreed that both are excellent, and that it's probably a matter of what you become accustomed to. The decor is getting a bit tired and the restaurant is not immaculate, but the service is always friendly, alcohol is offered but not pushed, and I keep on going back to this restaurant for the simple reason that it always pleases. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but the washrooms are downstairs.

Okay......where do I start?! I read the other reviews and I should have known better....but I guessed hey they were older reviews so what the heck I will give it a chance... The restaurant was empty (1 other patron)...It was clean and the menu was an easy read.... They had good variety... I ordered Shrimp Pakora and Butter chicken with a side of rice and a naan. The wait time for the meal was reasonable... The meal arrived and I knew by looking at it that I wouldn't need any stool softeners that night....I proceeded to eat it because i didn't want to waste my money and besides a flat tummy isn't so bad....i couldn't decipher which dish was which because there was a lot of sauce and they were both the same orange yellow color...same as the 2 stars above....both sauces tasted the same despite the fact that they are 2 different dishes...the butter chicken tasted like sweet hangover vomit with hard pieces of what looked like day old red tandoori chicken cut into cubes....the shrimp were small and hard and tasted like they had been reheated multiple times....The naan had a funny after taste....This morning when I opened my eyes I rushed to the bathroom as I expected I would to relieve myself of gastric assault....I must say I feel relieved and happy.... One other thing that threw me for a loop was the outdated "check in coupon" that was posted on the site and not honoured. The young lady serving me pointed out that it expired in 2015...Besides the not so tasty food...the staff was kind and attentive...

There was a decent number of diners present when we dined in on a rainy Thursday evening. What did not sit well with me was their menu pricing was different from what you were charged at the machine. This was true for the seafood combo I ordered. I went with fish which is about a dollar cheaper compared to the shrimp. When I went to pay, I noticed that I have been charged the more expensive item for their seafood combo. I brought it up with the server and she initially mentioned that it was due to tax being applied. I argued again and explained clearly that it cannot be due to the tax and that I was clearly charged the higher rate. After some more arguing and back and forth which was accentuated more due to the problem with communication from their end, she then just mentioned that the seafood combo was just priced that way with the machine. I still did not accept this reasoning but decided to pay for the higher-priced false advertising seeing that the conversation was just going nowhere.

The chicken pieces were big and generous using chicken breast meat. The spinach curry tasted amazing too. All the curries were very flavorful and when we asked it to be prepared hot in spice level it was right on. We also ordered a Lamb vindaloo a la carte. The lamb was tender and sauce was amazing. The foods were served in a serving size pan but so pretty if photos were taken. We were very happy. The mango lassi is $3.75. Also recommend the Utssv Lager Beer as it was light and very aromatic almost sweet like but very good and was $6.50. The man who was working as the server and also taking care of delivery orders was friendly and very observant. He also was very approachable and understood everything with no problems. We had a very pleasant experience with zero issues/problems. The atmosphere was simple. It's not a fancy 5 star restaurant. Chairs and tables were not fancy. Very simple. There's only about 10 tables in total. But if you don't want a fancy place then this is very nice casual restaurant atmosphere. East Indian music is playing while you are dining but it was not loud and intrusive. We would consider coming back and trying their lunch buffet sometime when we are in the area again. The photos shown on this page does not show how appetizing and delicious our supper was tonight.

We were looking to dine here, but only came out disappointed…read more My group was staying at Hamilton and wanted to try an Indian restaurant before leaving and this is what we initially selected. We set a date to eat out and checked the restaurant's operating hours: it closes 10:00 PM on Thursdays. We arrived sometime before 7:20, but was surprised when the waiter told us that they are not taking any more customers because the kitchen will be closing soon. This was a surprise because at the time there was at least one table of 2 diners presently eating still. It was also still fairly early in the night just after 7PM. Additionally, the waiter told us that we should have called the restaurant first before coming in to reserve a table. That does not make sense. As prospective diners, we did our due diligence in checking the timings of the food place. The SOP is to call in for reservations if it is a really busy restaurant, or to reserve for big groups or for special functions. For whatever reason, It was not right for the waiter to shift the alibi of not being able to serve to us.

The service is excellent and the servers and very quick-the food comes out in timely manner. We ordered the fuchkas which are hollow crispy balls with spicy potatoes/chickpeas/chutneys/yogurt topped with sev. It was perfect definitely recommending it. For the mains I ordered the fried pomfret which was super fresh and perfectly seasoned and topped with fried onion. Very delicious. Next with the shrimp Malia curry with rice or pulao as the name suggests it's a creamy shrimp curry. I absolutely loved this dish. There was so much more on their menu that I wanted to try-will definitely be going there again to try out some new things. It's a nice and warm feeling restaurant serving quality food and pricing is pretty standard to other restaurants serving similar food. There is parking outside the place but limited. Great work team. Loved their food and I highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it yet.
