I visited this restaurant to order a takeaway meal for 4 of us as it had been recommended to me,…read morebut to be honest, I wasn't that impressed. I ordered a main dish and a rice for 3 of us plus a main dish and side vegetable dish for the other person. I also ordered 2 naan bread and 4 poppadoms. I was shocked at the price £52.00. I consider this to be extortionate for a small local Indian restaurant takeaway. The food was okay it wasn't exceptional and if I'm honest, it was a little too oily with loads of vegetables in and not much meat. I won't be going back.

Amazing food, apt service and cool ambience. I will recommend everybody to visit atleast onceread more

We have visited this restaurant three times now, and each time have very much enjoyed the…read moreexperience. The restaurant has a nice intimate ambience, low-lit, with dark wood furniture and trim. The tables are quite close together, which can feel a bit tight on a Tuesday or Sunday when the place is busier. This is no doubt due to the excellent offer on these days where you can have a starter, main course, side dish and other sundry such as nan bread for only £10! The service can be fabulous, although on one occasion the waiter was a little slow and unsmiling. We got the impression he might be new, so decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, he was certainly no less poilte than the more polished and cheerful members of staff. Shipa's menu is varied and you find all your favourites as well as a few more original offerings. The food is of a very high standard, with generous portions for the starters, large fluffy nan bread, and tasty rice that is not at all starchy. All in all I would highly recommend Shipa for dining out.

You can park your car at the back and then ring their back-bell to access the store and they give you a hand at taking the stuff back to your car should you need any help.
