    I made a reservation last week for dinner at 7 on Sunday 15th January, today. On the form I let…read morethem know that it was my wife's birthday. I had a question about whether they were licensed so tried the contact form on the website. This returned an error, saying it hasn't been properly set up, so I tried their email, which bounced saying no route to host. I went on Facebook and got them on Messenger, where I explained that I'd made a reservation for Sunday & needed to know if they were able to sell wine or if they ran a dry establishment, ie no alcohol. The chap who answered assured me that yes they were still in business, thanked me for letting him know his website wasn't fully working, and that yes, they would be able to sell us alcoholic drinks on the night as they were fully licensed. Great, all set then. So tonight we get all dolled up & get in the car, get there & find a parking spot, only, hold on, there's no light in the window, and a notice taped up: had to close for a few days for maintenance. Now, given that the reservation form takes your phone number & email address, it would have been possible to contact everyone who had reservations tonight & let them know, right? Apparently even that's beyond them. So yeah, the menu is full of pictures of lovely food, but I really cannot recommend anyone book a table here, because if you do & something happens in their end, you are not going to be able to make alternative arrangements in time. We're ordering a Chinese Takeaway tonight for my wife's birthday. I like Chinese food, but this is not how we envisaged spending the evening. If I could give zero stars or negative stars I would. They've failed on the most basic level. They couldn't be open and they couldn't use the contact details they'd got to tell us ahead of time.

    Booked this restaurant for my girlfriend's 21st dinner. I have to say that the food was excellent…read moreemotional and not at all pricey. The staff were very informative about the menu and all 8 of us really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. i would highly recommend this restaurant. The food is better than most of the central Birmingham restaurants...

    This spot is our usual go to for a curry, we ordered a butter chicken and some other curries,…read morealongside pashwari naan and some chips. The food is perfect as always, with the food always reaching the highest standard as always, I highly suggest this place to anyone looking for an authentic curry.

    We visited Shaban just before Christmas 2022. It was not a good experience. The restaurant was cold…read moreand when I asked why it was so cold I was told by a waiter, "It's winter, what do you expect?" No attempt was made to make my family and children comfortable. My children kept coats and hats on for the remainder of the meal. What a joke. We were seated right at the back of the restaurant by the service counter even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived? It became apparent that the rude staff would continue to reach over our heads and serve food or shout orders to each other throughout the remainder of our meal. Appalling. To top it off, the restaurant is running an online service where people walk into the restaurant to collect their orders. Throughout our meal we had people queueing beside our table, leaning against our chairs, paying at the cash register behind our heads. It was horrible. The restaurant needs a specific waiting area for people collecting orders away from guests in the restaurant. Service was bad. Food was slapped onto my mums plate with no care. No food warmers were on the table to keep food warm as other guests seemed to have. My daughters ordered some fried chicken and were given tough bits of chicken on a plate. The rest of the food was just about ok. The restaurant decor is extremely dated and in extreme need of extensive modernisation. I also have to ask whether their were racist undertones to our treatment. Seated at a table at the back of the restaurant where no diner should have been seated. The rudeness of staff and terrible service. All other dinners (white)were seated at the front of the restaurant. As a person of colour I feel that this could have been the case. I would advise anyone wanting to eat at the restaurant to think carefully. There are far superior Indian restaurants in the area. Shaban is not even a patch on these.
