Shaad was a bit of a surprise to me.. We're in a quiet sleepy town and wanted to go out for a…read moremeal. 'We have a superb restaurant' was offered up, and to be honest, with a whole two to chose from, we went with the recommendation. To say that we were intrigued upon arrival is somewhat an understatement. The decor was slightly unusual to be honest, but it was very modern and welcoming.. If anything the slightly unusual decor was actually quite a conversation starter, and was really nice.. We were having a bit of a celebration, and were greeted warmly, even though most of the mezzanine floor was being catered for by a large party.. We never felt we were being under-serviced by the employees, who were obviously busy ( a sat night, and a large party upstairs) but the staff were always attentive, courteous and friendly. The starters were of a very generous size, and incredibly delicious... Our party had Prawn puree, Reshmie kebab, Meat Samosas, and Chicken Chat (which was really good - it's what I had, and was nearly a full meal in size) We'd ordered Bangla beer, and wine,.. so everything slipped down nicely.. The wine was a rose, and was perfectly and easily chosen for the meal... (good, inexpensive cellar they have there) For mains, we had a selection of dishes, ranging from a jalfrezi, which was perfectly spiced and quite fierce - as it should be... To an amazing Dhansak in both meat and chicken... which were mouthwatering and both very different.. which is always a good sign.. as it definitely wasn't from the usual 'same pot of sauce' - and to be honest, you'd have known that the second you walked in,.. We also had a Pasanda - rich and creamy and and exactly as you'd want. The staff were always there, but definitely not 'always on your shoulder' which win big points with me, but were there in an instant to change a glass upon request.. 10/10.. Also, one of the things that impressed me personally, was the way that upon leaving the table for a 'rest break' this was when they chose to ask if the meal was OK.. This was a much more genuine way of doing it, as it stopped any embarrassment - of which there would have been none, as everything was of an incredibly high standard. The head waiter was really nice and genuine too,.. Top marks for him without doubt. To say That even though I live hundreds of miles away, I was inclined to take a card for recommendation speaks volumes. The staff are brilliant, not overpowering, but always there in a second if required, coupled with really top class food and a very reasonable price point in a really nice location would make this an easy choice in the future... if they have a table.. They have lots of space, but a restaurant with these qualities hopefully will remain busy constantly.. Would I recommend it? - Er, yes - definitely. I'm lucky enough to have several world-class Indian restaurants near where I live, so am regularly disappointed with others 'bests',.. Shaad, does not fall into this category, It's like your best local, but elsewhere. Would I go again,.. I'll let you into a secret,.. I'm already planning to.

Set in an old building just on the high street, the restaurant has a large parking facility behind. Inside the decor could be desribed as above average. Indian and African themed pictures against old english stone walls. The food is also above average with the curries well made and without excessive use of oil or fat which normally ruin curries. Standard menu for a curry shop with the usual selection of mild to hot curries. Well priced with good service. All round and decent place providing good food at a reasonable price.

However, so far I haven't sampled anything better or worse from your typical Indian cuisine that you'd find in the States only here you will pay twice as much. The service is medicore at best.

The food was mediocre at best. I did enjoy the sambar lentil soup, but it is hard to go wrong and mess up lentil soup, I cannot rate a restaurant based on lentil soup alone. I ordered the aloo lamb naan. There wasn't much aloo (aloo is potato), and the lamb just didn't taste good, basically there is a sheet of lamb that is placed inside of the naan, not really cooked in the naan it seems. There isn't a time in my life I haven't finished the whole order of naan the fatty I am, but this time I barely could eat just two bites, it just wasn't good. For the entree I ordered masala tikki lamb. The lamb was not fresh by any means and was way over cooked. It was disgusting, it did not taste good at all. Needless to say, I did not eat much of my entree. The masala had an over powering taste of coconut, you cannot cover up nasty tasting meat with coconut, nice try though! Never not liked masala tikki before. Rude service. Gross Indian food. All out fail. Sorry Gandhi, you won't be on the receiving end of my pounds any more. For 32 pounds which equals $51.52 USA dollars, it was a total waste of money! If you are experienced at eating Indian cuisine, you will not like Gandhi.
