What more can I say, this is a fabulous curry house and probably one of the best in Plymouth! I've…read morebeen using it for years for both take away and restaurant and never been disappointed. In fact I was in there last night with a mate for a meal and the first thing my friend said when he tried his lamb Pathia was blimey the meat's so tender!.and he's very fussy! We go out for a curry once a month and the Shapla still comes top (and we've had quite a few curries!). It's not a big restaurant which works in its favour and the staff are always welcoming and friendly, and even if you have an issue they are always willing to help how ever they can. All in all a great Indian Restaurant, with great food and atmosphere, what more can I say?!!

Im not a curry lover so always go for the korma's/Masala's, here i had some sort of lamb with mango masala which was delish! The nan breads were also to die for. The deserts were nothing special, just those sorts that are plucked direct from the freezer into a bowl - But then i dont expect gourmet deserts from an Indian. The manager/owner is really friendly and really looks after you, ensuring everything is going well with your meal without being in your face Also found the prices really reasonable - much along the same lines that you would pay or a takeaway I dont think you could be dissappointed with a visit here

A solid go to Indian here in Plymouth. Various family…read moremembers with very differing tastes and standards go here and I can see why. Friday night, dinner for four. Dopiaza, Jalfrazi, tikka masala and tikka balti. Plus sides. Every dish the chicken was cooked perfectly. The tikka dishes were definitely tikka and not passed off as tikka-wannabes. The sauces were clearly all specific and not generic sauces with random colourings and the odd spice here and there. Mine was the balti and it was spot on! Keena naan - sister said there wasn't that much meat in it, but was tasty. Saag Aloo - was of a decent standard, potatoes cooked well, good level of spinach and not over done. Rice - rice is rice. Nothing to write home about but perfectly fine. So, yes, four fussy peeps all enjoyed, (as the other random family members have before) a decent curry on a Friday night. Going to order here again 100%.

When I say that this is the best 'Indian' restaurant in Plymouth that does not mean it is just the…read morebest of a bad bunch but that it really is an excellent restaurant. I now live in London and have not found a place up here to beat it, in fact most are not a patch on it. I first went here around 2 years ago just after it opened and have been back regularly. I've recommended it to so many people that it is almost impossible to get a table without booking during the evening. Everyone who goes seems to go back and recommend it to someone else. The food is outstanding although not really innovative, it just does what it does really really well. No it won't have a Michelin star but for tasty, well spiced, attractively presented and well served food you cannot find a better place. I've not had a poor dish here and I've sampled a fair few! Do yourself a favour and try it and see what you think. Oh yes, it is very reasonably priced as well!

Tasty and unusual food. Some of the dhals may seem a little runny, and other bits might not be so rich for people used to Anglo-Indian food, but it is very authentic. It's down at heel, yes, but it doesn't matter. As long as you're not too fussy about spotless table cloths then you'll be fine. At these prices you cannot complain! It is very good value. The staff are very sweet and attentive and they even serve real ale!

This costs £10.95 and includes poppadoms, naan bread, Sag aloo, Choice of curry (Korma or Dhansak) and bhajis or samosas. Oh and rice. This is more than enough for two and sometimes too much!! The quality is good and only once have we got bhajis instead of samosa's but who cares! Usually takes about 20 mins although they usually say about 45 minutes to be on the safe side. Yum if you want a good quality takeaway get this one.

As it is not far away from my house so we all friends would hang out there at night and enjoy. It is very spacious and not quite busy so good when you want to hang out.

I like his restaurant a lot and would rate it as 8/10.
