Jaipur in Shropshire

We have recently moved into Dorrington and wanted to find a great Asian restaurant nearby. We saw The Jaipur when we were shopping in Church Stretton and thought we would give this place a try. Having lived in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, we have eaten at many a good Indian restaurant, so our expectations can be a little bit high. The Jaipur did not disappoint!! If I could give them 6 out of 5 stars I would. What a gem of a place, staff were a pleasure to meet and the food was perfect. Already booked in for a second visit, and I am sure we will be going again, and again. Thank you Jaipur

Food was tasty, staff are very friendly. Meat eaters with me said they preferred the veg food as well. Vegans: got asked if chicken was vegan, but once explained they were able to clarify what on the menu was vegan or could be adapted. Would have appreciated a vegan yoghurt and desert option. Also would have liked a menu with clearly labelled vegan options

Don't miss. Very nice Indian restaurant.

If you're eating in it's best to book in advance as it gets very busy & you have to take your own alcohol

I really enjoyed it but god damn I was ill for the next 3 days. Not sure if it’s just accepted or normal for people as I don’t often eat curry. I was sat on the toilet for hours after this with bad bad stomach cramps and the Tiddly Squits! Service was good though and food did taste nice! But not sure it was worth it……

We were staying in Church Stretton and discovered this highly recommended Indian restaurant. The staff were very welcoming, and even though the restaurant was getting busy, we were served quickly. My husband and I chose the murghi tikka masala and the achari chicken. Both were delicious and full of flavour. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area. Parking close-by was easy and we paid by card. Probably a good idea to book a table in advance. Thank you Jaipur!

An excellent family managed restaurant. You feel at home, They advice with love what to choose, beautiful and delicious food, i went with a group of hikers 3 times in two weeks !! Try and enjoy. We wish them lots of success. Thank you guys. Frank from The Netherlands

Being a simple tourist passing through, I found this restaurant by chance. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is clean and well kept. The service is pretty quick, the prices reasonable and the food is really excellent. I enjoyed the chicken biryani. I recommend this establishment and would happily return if I return to the area.

Excellent food and very reasonably priced . Chicken shaslik to die for. BYO as well 😀

1st visit. Excellent food. Bring your own alcohol.

The food was delicious and the service excellent.

Amazing service, fab ambience and good food!

Many friends have been to Jaipur and recommended it. Have been this evening and it was absolutely amazing. The food was so tasty, I had the special jalfrazi, there was so much chicken, lamb and prawns in the dish. The staff are very attentive, but you dont feel rushed. This was my first visit and I will be returning. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Paneer tikka starter came with 4 paneer cubes and a heap of onions that had spice but no salt. It also came with shredded lettuce which in my opinion does not work with the dish. The thing that I didnt like the most was the chicken tikka masala which was overly sweet. It had like a good table spoon of sugar in it. I never had it like this myself, it was way too sweet for me. I believe authentic masala sauce should have a hint of sweetness but not too much. Lamb spinach curry lacked a bit of salt and could have more depth in flavor but I did enjoy it. Service was slow and had to wait for our curries a good half an hour after starters came. Poppadoms pickles came in massive bowls and we ordered just two poppadoms. We felt bad knowing all this food is going to get thrown away. Please use smaller trays for smaller orders.

Went with hubby for evening meal service was first class friendly and welcoming staff Food was delicious. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be visiting again x

Great meal, quality ingredients, great flavour, good amount of food, polite & attentive staff, clean environment, would definitely eat here again

Very pleasant, relaxing ambience to have a delicious reasonably priced evening meal. Welcoming and friendly service made the visit an absolute pleasure. Alcohol not served, but bringing your own to accompany your meal is accepted.

Everything was spot on. Loved it

Amazing! Great tasting food, very friendly, great service and very welcoming. Booking on line and by telephone available. Just brilliant. Book your table now. Highly recommend. Thank you Jaipur for a great night. I look forward to my next visit which will be very soon.

Interior decor and service was very good. Food was ok... Note there is a 10% service charge added to the bill.

What a find! I have to confess, I didn’t have high expectations, but the freshness and flavour of the food blew me away. Really friendly, diligent staff and a cracking atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Our second visit and it didn't disappoint. Friendly, efficient service and delicious food. Lots of veg in the curries, not just meat and sauce like some places. Can highly recommend.

We visited here for our evening meal whilst on a 2 night stay in Church Stretton. What a lovely experience after a day of walking! The food is excellent quality, delicious, would highly recommend a visit, reasonably priced and value for money

This place is amazing,excellent food, amazing staff, food to die for. Highly recommend you won't find a better place to eat

Booked online to secure a seat for Banquet night on a Wednesday as we were staying in the area. Excellent atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. Food was fabulous with all the allergens clearly labelled, cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! Thank you very much! ☺️

Myself and my partner when in this evening for dinner. We’re local, so we knew it would be good but oh wow, we’re our expectations blown out of the water! The service was absolutely impeccable. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food came out so quickly which was unexpected as it is all cooked fresh. Food was absolutely delicious. Genuinely cannot recommend enough.

Great food. Very good menu. Long wait to collect takeaway (ordered by phone) - 30 minutes over the advised time.

I have travelled far and wide and eaten at many restaurants but the combination of delicious food and superb service is why we, as a family have been returning to Jaipur for the past 20 years. It is ,without a doubt my favourite restaurant in Shropshire. Sham and his team always welcome us with warmth and generosity ..Plus their banquet night is exceptionally good value for money. Delicious food! If you get an opportunity to dine at Jaipur,don't hesitate to visit.

Excellent meal would thoroughly recommend.

The whole experience was marred by the manager/owner, his attitude towards us as customers was rude. On arrival we were seated and asked for a jug of tap water and told the manager/owner that we knew what we wanted to order (we had been on a huge walk and were very hungry) he disappeared, chatting to people at the bar shouting out orders to the waiters. We waited at least 10 minutes trying to attract his attention but to no avail..I called one of the waiters over and asked if we could have a drink and place our order. The manager/owner came over holding a pad to take our order no apology for the delay ( it was early evening and the restaurant wasn't very busy so no excuse for us being missed!) We ordered our started, I mispronounced one of the meals and was quickly corrected by the manager/owner in a very arrogant manner, had we not been so hungry and waited so long for our order to be taken we would have left at that point. There were lots of waiters some of which had more experience than others, unfortunately the manager/owner took the opportunity during service to train and rebuff some of the staff if they got things wrong, I know staff need to be trained but should not be done infront of paying customers, it created an uncomfortable/unprofessional atmosphere. We weren't asked if our food was ok or if we would like desert or coffee, we were totally ignored other than accepting our payment at the end of the evening. Our experience was very different to the other diners who were "looked after" I can only put this down to us asking fir our drink and order to be taken.... Good t food throughout, although the balti I ordered wasn't an authentic balti, it was nicely cooked.

Only my fourth visit since I settled in Church Stretton, but I love it so much. Superb food in a lovely atmosphere and genuinely friendly owners and staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them even when I had to rearrange our group numbers and table a few days before. Excellent value and one of the best Bangladeshi/Indian restaurants I've been to outside South Asia.

Very tasty food. But note only alcohol option is bring your own, due to their religious choice.

Great food..nice people..good service.

I would drive 50+ miles like I did the one time I ate here every week. That’s how good it was! The food was amazing, great portions and the service just as good. Left a generous time and kept the service charge as the experience was that good. Staff there looked after myself and my girlfriend on my birthday - and the food came out quickly, fresh and was beautifully tasting. I cannot stress enough to people how good this place is, I can’t wait to visit again when I get the opportunity.

Good choice of food and you can take your own alcohol which is a great saver

Great restaurant in the heart of Church Stretton… food and service is always spot on… we love it and have been several times. It’s very popular with locals and visitors alike

Excelent food. Excelent service. People very nice and attentive...

Excellent food and service from start to finish and thanks for allowing my brother to leave is mobility scooter inside 👍

Great food and you can take your own beer. Excellent service and friendly staff.

A fine restaurant,had the banquet..got charged an extra £2 because my curry had prawns in,i musy admit ,i didnt see any ! But thats how it is ! Good food and service,anyway ,would go back.!

Excellent quality Indian cuisine in a nice atmosphere

Had a great meal here when staying in Church Stretton, Jaipur offers an extensive menu and superb value. Added bonus you can take your own alcohol and the food very well priced. Service was good as well. Will definitely be back again.

Far superior in quality to your average restaurant.

The best Indian food ever. Nice, clean, good price, and the staff very pleasant. The food was delicious and very well présente. We will come back there. Highly recommended.

Over an hour to make some sloppy meat. I don't understand what took so long as the food was bog standard. It took 10 minutes to get a pint glass for my drink. 10 minutes. It wasn't even that busy. About 10 waiters were just walking about not doing anything. Weird experience.

Look at the mess you eat and drink, hope you die, Ollie Frizwell Oi I like your curry, what can you do with it.

This place is top notch, food is lovely staff are friendly and polite I don't know how people say they aren't, food was hot . Definitely go back

Great evening, with excellent food and service. Will definitely be going back.

Delicious food, excellent service, relaxing ambience, good value for money- couldn't ask for more.

Best restaurant in Church Stretton, really high quality. It’s a BYB.

I gave two stars just for the food and chef service. The manager was really rude. One should have told in a more manner full way. We complained about this to one of the staff. He apologized on his behalf. Otherwise the food was okay. Portion was fine.

Went Sunday evening. What a let down, have been many times and always had a good meal. This time, I can only assume that the Chef has changed ? The food had not been seasoned. My King prawn puri starter (£6.95) tasted very strongly of uncooked turmeric. The puri was not deep fried and was very small unlike the numerous others I have eaten. My Wife's prawn balti again did not taste of much and was under seasoned. I had a lamb tikka massala which was ok but the lamb didn't appear to have been cooked very well. To add to all this...on receiving the bill, a "Discretionary" service charge had been added (£5+) without asking. It was not brought to my attention at the time of paying. What a sad let down. Will not be eating here again.

What a gem of a place. I have been coming to Church Stretton for years and never thought to come in here but gosh I'm glad we finally did. The food was divine and we couldn't get enough of it. The staff were attentive and very nice too. Will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area.

Food lovely , staff lovely , place lovely

Nice food, staff nice. Prices ok

A very nice place , good food great service

A well deserved Chicken Bolti Saturday April 1st

We came here yesterday with some of my mates after doing the Trek at Carding Mill Valley. Firstly this restaurant is literally 3 minutes drive from the National Trust car park. So this was a bonus as didn't need to travel far to find Halal food. Let's start with the décor it was really nice, contemporary and was oozing class. This is a fine dining restaurant and believe me you won't be disappointed. From start to finish the service was impeccable, the food was absolutely amazing and bursting with so much flavour. We were a group of 7 people we ordered starters each I ordered the king prawn puree was delicious. For mains we ordered a wide variety of foods these included a meatball with spinach dish (can't remember the name) which we really enjoyed so flavoursome with a hint of spice, 2 Jhinga spicy bhoona which had huge pieces of king prawns in it they definitely were not stingy with the king prawns portions and chicken chilli garlic and a lamb dhansak. We indulged in the desserts which were prented nicely and tasted delicious. And they even made us some masala tea to finish off the night. The service was top class, food piping hot and mojito's were so refreshing. Expect to pay around £20pp for this fine dining experience (if you will be having a three course meal with drinks) was worth every penny. Highly recommend this place.

A fantastic Halal gem! Went for a trek and thought we would struggle to find a nice halal place but were blown away with the quality of food, service and decor of this place. Beautiful ambience topped with friendly service and excellent choice of dishes and mocktails

Amazing food Came with 7 people, not a single 1 of us was disappointed From starters to mains and desserts even the masala tea was amazing ! Will defo be back

Absolutely fantastic! Best jalfrezi I've had in thirty years 👍 Staff friendly and attentive.

Absolutely delicious. They treated my 3 year old so well and very thoughtful. Thank you

Really enjoyed our food. A weds evening 8 adults. Service good although they were busy. ( 6 pm ) you may need to book. Bring your own alcohol. Not a problem. Thank you.

Lovely food would definitely recommend 👌

Great takeaway. They had the food ready when I arrived to collect it. Everything was correct with the order and the whole grouo really enjoyed their meals. No delivery option was fairly inconvenient but not a deal breaker. The prices were a bit high (£90 between 6 people 2022).

Great local atmosphere, really good food and friendly service. No alcohol licence, but you can bring your own which saves a bit of cash!

I booked a table with three friends on Saturday night. We were taken to a very comfortable curved seating area with a round table which perfectly suited our needs. The service was very attentive where our individual requests were encouraged making our respective meals most enjoyable. We all commented that each course chosen was generous and obviously freshly prepared. The staff were all extremely professional and had good senses of humour. Our evening was most enjoyable and we will definately be returning next time we are in the area. Would highly recommend this establishment.

Excellent. Good food. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

Food was delicious. Bit of a wait as they were really busy but that didn't detract from our visit. Staff were brilliant and very efficient

A popular, lively restaurant, well run with an excellent friendly service. All the classic curry dishes prepared to a high quality and good sized portions. Definitely worth a visit.

Nicely cooked food and service great. The atmosphere is exceptional. Pictures on the wall and lights together with cleanliness and politeness of the staff makes it 100% worth

The food is excellent and you have a great selection and the staff are some of the best I have come across. Go in loose fitting clothes ...you going to need the room

Didn't book but went quite early on a Friday and we manged to get a table. So glad we did. Excellent service, lovely food and a relaxed atmosphere. Bring your own alcohol. Co-op around the corner if you forget. Definitely advisable to reserve a table in advance at the weekend.

I had a lovely visit to Jaipur with my in-laws. The menu is reasonably priced and the quality of the curries was very good. Each curry had a distinct flavour profile and was nicely spiced. They kindly added a bit more spice to mind at my request. The sundries and appetisers were really nice. Excellent busy ambience.

Nice food, starter could have been bigger portion, but was very nice indeed,

This is no doubtedly the best Indian restaurant around... Lovely food as always and an excellent customer service from all the guys who work here... Never a miserable face, very welcoming!

The food here is far superior to most Indian restaurants and the staff will go through any dishes and explain what region they are from and the spiciness. It's a 'must visit' place in Church Stretton.

One of the worst tasting food ever. Staff couldn't be bothered. Please get a new chef. Chicken Ceylon does not taste like it is a Madras.

My partner and I have just enjoyed one if the best Indian ‘eat out’’ experiences for a very long time. Superbly friendly and helpful staff, delicious meals presented perfectly within a lovely ambience and environment. The overall cost reflected excellent value for money and we will definitely be returning.

Excellent food, freshly prepared and high quality service, they are happy to tweak things like spice levels on request to accommodate preferences and the portions are very generous. A great place to eat after a long day in the hills.

Service and food were both excellent. Loos clean. Staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Well cooked food:nice flavours and looks good. Go.

First time eating from this restaurant. Ordered 17.50 for pickup 18.45. Arrived 18.50 paid for food. 19.05 asked about food as later arrivals we're getting their orders and leaving, I was told it won't be long now. Food arrived19.15 I asked the waiter if it was still hot, he said it was. Started eating 19.25, everything was just tepid except the Nan which was stone cold and damp. The Pilau rice was white🤔 I thought Pilau rice was coloured with turmeric🤔 Maybe they ran out... I was very disappointed with the food. I phoned and complained, the guy apologised saying they were busy and offered to do it all again. This wasn't acceptable. I must say despite this bad experience, the restaurant has a very good ambience and the plated food looked good. I will be returning to the restaurant next week to eat in. The waiter said he would arrange a gesture, we will see. But I am looking forward to eating there. Peter Steele.

Full of bone and gristle is not my idea of a fun full bodied tasty Indian meal. Tasteless and quite frankly gross! I tried to get my money back but to no avail!

Not quite sure how an Indian can be bland, but at least you achieved one thing this evening… A Garlic Naan with no garlic, a Lamb Bhuna with around about as much flavour as my wife’s spaghetti bolognaise, and a Sag Aloo with potatoes so over cooked it would’ve made an Irish man cry… On top of the terrible food, I took an 2 hours to be cooked.

Lovely Indian cuisine! They don't sell alcohol, but do allow you to bring your own. They offer lovely virgin cocktails! The food was great! I would recommend the keema rice, it's the best I've ever tasted! On the appetiser menu the tikka penner was also very nice. Looking forward to going again!

The jaipur is a great restaurant,the food is lovely, tasty and piping hot, and waiter's are attentive, we would definitely recommend it.

Last minute choice but no regrets in fact first class great

Good food and good service on a busy night. Taking your own alcohol made it very affordable.

Great restaurant, highly recommend. Always enjoy my meal here. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful food, fantastic service!

I live in an area of the country where there is many Indian restaurants, this tends to generate competition which raises the quality. But the Jaipur is easily a match for best of my regular Indian restaurants. The food is superb and the restaurant is spotlessly clean with excellent facilties and very friendly staff and great value, highly recommended.

Great food, you need to bring your own alcoholic drinks as they have give up their drinks licence.

Decent curry and very helpful on the phone to confirm ingredients for someone with allergies

Excellent Indian food, very well cooked and presented. Friendly, helpful staff. Great for takeaway.

Top food , polite friendly staff

Great place to eat. A top bunch of staff that do everything with a smile. 5 star dinner!

Just great food and staff made the night

This is our second visit to Jaipur, with our first visit being over 5 years ago! We enjoyed our first visit so much that we were really looking forward to going back. Safe to say the food is still top notch. We're both vegetarian and had a wealth of dishes to choose from. The vegetable korma and balti were very yummy, as were the plain & peshwari naans. We especially enjoyed the poppadoms with the trays of chutneys and sauces! The staff are really friendly, the food came out relatively quickly and the bill wasn't too hefty either. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Thank you for providing us with a great evening and meal Jaipur!

Great indian food, our new favourite!
