New Shipa in Medway

The food here is wonderful.....each dish has its own flavour and the lamb is not tough.....this restaurant has been here for years as I used to frequent back in the 80's.....however the restaurant lacks atmosphere so hence having takeaways....I will not go anywhere else now and the delivery man is very pleasant with manners. Thoroughly recommend.

This is by far our favourite Indian takeaway in Gillingham. Food is always delivered hot and on time, delivery driver is courteous and friendly, most importantly the food is consistently good and rich in flavour! I'd recommend this restaurant If you would like to try some genuine Indian food!

My father comes with his friends here most of the time after work and the beer prices are so reasonable and cheap, the food is spectacular and absolutely delicious, my mother loves the chocolate 😂

Avoid at all costs We were served food that was clearly off Then charged 4x the price for poppadoms Insects everywhere Poor and slow service

"Last Thursday, my friend and I had the pleasure of dining at New Shipa Restaurant in Gillingham to celebrate Eid, and what an extraordinary experience it was! From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted and immediately immersed in the inviting ambiance. The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the Mix Charli dish, a tantalizing blend of spicy Madras with the chef's expertly grilled Tandoori chicken strips and succulent lamb tikka, all complemented by a mouthwatering sauce that left us craving for more. Additionally, the caramelized crispy potatoes added a delightful crunch to our meal, while the Chicken Biryani and butter naan were simply divine. Every bite was a burst of flavors, meticulously crafted to perfection. The presentation was impeccable, and the portion sizes were generous, ensuring we left fully satisfied. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. We left with happy hearts and full stomachs, already planning our next visit to indulge in more of their delectable offerings. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Gillingham, look no further than New Shipa Restaurant."

Freshly made delicious food with authentic taste. Specially Best Briyani we always have in Medway. Well mannered service, everyone should come and taste the difference!

Very bad experience after ordering chciken biriyani, made me feel like turmeric rice , no salt no spice nothing. Chicken were cooked but still raw. Very disappointed. Please kindly serve good✌🏻

Food is always cooked to perfection here. Staff are always friendly

Ordered shrimp dansak got what I think thay had left over, total rubbish compared to the last 1 i had a few days ago. Not impressed not happy.

Had home delivery food very good all five curries arrived hot and on time will use them again

This is one heck of an eatery! We travelled down to Gillingham for a social the next day and having checked into our hotel went looking for an Indian restaurant for a meal. We googled and up came New Shipa right at the top of the list so naturally we thought we'd give it a try. We found the place and on first sight thought this looks like just any other Indian restaurant. Little did we know. Its a nondescript place. Very beige but boy o boy were we mistaken. Ordinary does not do this place any justice. It may look ordinary but the food was fantastic. Delicious pieces of lamb in a hot sauce for starters followed by a mixed Biriyani (not on the menu so you'll need to ask). My wife had the magic mushrooms (no, not those, silly 😋), mushroom stuffed with a meat mix and fried in a breadcrumb batter (very delicious!!) followed by a lamb biriyani. Its no wonder the restaurant has Bern around for 32 years. Good in them. We'd bevback again and again if only we lived locally.

Whether we're celebrating birthdays, anniversaries or just a Friday. We love shippa. Never had an issue. And today they went above and beyond for my hubby's birthday. Will always recommend here.

Love their food here. Update still use this Indian. Got a delivery further away than usual and was still piping hot!

Good food, but restaurant very dated & had a musty smell. Needs refurbishing

Lovely food , great portion size and I loved the curry it was so fresh and the nan bread was lovely and fluffy but crunchy on the edges , the restaurant could do with some more new flooring though and let in some natural light but apart from that it was lovely and the staff where so helpful and nice, was a little pricey but I've walked away full and ate everything that I ordered.

The guys are good, but the restaurent is extremely dated and service is slower then expected, it needs some renovation inside… food quality is ok nothing to remember nor to recommend, price wise very cheap compare to others.

Wide verity of dishes even some fried chicken for picky eaters.

One of my favourite places to eat since moving to Kent. The food is always hot and delicious when it arrives and good portions; sauce to meat ratio is👌🏼. Very accommodating and easy to order with via phone and in-person (I haven't tried to order online yet). The size and texture of their naans are great; thick and chewy in place, with a little charring.

Tasty food with well mannered service. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and staff very good so glad it's reopened

Delivery...food hot, pleasant gentleman who delivered...gave me a bottle of plonk and birthday card....dinner was delicious...nice one

Good food, quick service. Well done Shipa

terrible all round. will not use again

Highly delighted with the service and delicious food with unique taste. Very Well done Team.

Great food. Tasty chicken tikka masala and lamb rogan josh. Lovely sauce, not watery like some ive had before. Crispy bhajis, not oily at all. Eat in and take away both lovely.

Firstly thank you for offering delivery service ... it's our birthday today and we really fancied Indian !!!!. Had the CTM, chicken tikka Jalfrezi , breads etc .. was all delicious and will be ordering again from here. Thank you and stay safe

Very disappointed. Food very bland and flavourless. Cinamon pods left in curry. Waste of money.

Mostly good for the money. Had a not so good one twice in 20 times of going..

Lovely food, always pleasant staff

Had a lovely welcome, food was delicious. Was very well looked after, had a lovely evening, will for sure be going back.

Best quality food in world#Kent

One of my favourite curry restaurants in Kent. Consistently good food, friendly service and affordably priced. A very good menu that caters for all tastes and requirements. Highly recommend.

Went there as an alternative, as the place we wanted did not have a table ( our fault as not booking a table). Anyway the decor in Shipa is so old, no atmosphere,felt cold and not inviting. To the food bland NO flavour at all in the dishes we ordered. Will never give them our money again.

Forgot samosas! Lamb pathia really heavy with garlic no spice other than that supossed to be hot and sour not cold and garlic and meat was tough and dry over cooked wont be using again waste of 24 quid

Food is amazing. However please send people the correct order I certainly did not get what I ordered tonight so disappointed

It was great! Delicious food and friendly service!

Great original old fashioned Indian restaurant.

Excellent service so deff go again

Had the Sunday 10 quid deal, fantastic food. Not been here for 10 years and still great food.....don't let the tatty decor' put you off, really clean, friendly staff, great chef. Thanks guys from Norfolk

A group of 4 of us ate in at this restaurant on a Sunday night for the first time. It was very quiet, only one other table. The food was great, very tasty and we didn't wait long at all. The prices were what you would expect from a usual Indian restaurant. The only negatives would be the decor is very dated but you're there for the food so not really a big issue. Will definitely be returning.

Take away food was tasty, but one rice dish was missing.

Very quick and very tasty top food.

Best India tandoori restaurant in Gillingham.

Very nice meal will come back again thank you

Eat in or takeaway...always delicious food :)

Excellent food and friendly staff. I highly recommend.

This place is excellent. Great Bangladeshi food at good prices. Crispy fresh poppadoms. Ice cold bottled Cobra. Tried most Indians in Medway over 25 years and the Shipa hits the spot. The hand drier in the gents has never been good but other that that a fine curry. Usually quiet in the week.

Could do with a refurbishment as still have the same decor as well over ten years ago. Need to reduce the sugar in the food. Was ok but sickly sweet everything. And food colouring, is it really needed?

Food was good and staff helpful and friendly but the restaurant is in dire need of refurbishment.

Food was nice. But the place needs updating. Could do with a lick of paint. And flooring needs to be cleaned.

Usual fare, very tasty, reasonably priced

My soul is an island. My van is a peuge. I promise myself I'll never eat Indian food again

Excellent food. Price is fair too. Definitely best around.

Good food, very reasonably priced, decor could do with updating

Waited nearly 2 hrs to be served, walked out in the end. Won't bd going there again!

The food was actually OK but it took two hours before we got served mains and we didn't even order starters. It was a large party, but two hours is ridiculous. I had the Ala chicken, which comes with prawns and lamb and is served with pilau rice. It was pretty tasty.

Got here half 7 still sitting here at 9.16 waiting for food . Very disorganised and slow. Staff could do with alot of training. Couldn't arrange a piss up In a brewery. God I'm starving 😁 would if been quicker to get it to take away on delivered to the table

Not nice all food tasted the same very run down building. And staff scruffy and in trained

They caterered for a large group of 30+. They did very well the beer and food was at a very good standard and a good price. I would book there again.

Good food, good prices. Been a regular for about three years now and never had the need to run to the toilet the day after which I consider an indicator of quality!

The best Indian restaurant food I've ever tasted. Fantastic food and good prices . Totally recommend

Great food. Speedy delivery. Looking forward to getting their buffet night.

Fantastic food options. Best curry house in medway, even better than twydall tandoori!!
