Shaan Tandoori Takeaway in Carmarthenshire

Used to be great. Lately gone downhill. Food was like rubber and tasted like dog food. Chips were good, onion bahjies were all battered, think they forgot the onion part. Tikka kebab was like rubber dog food. 6 months ago would have been 5 stars. Sorry guys

Brilliant food always good service highly recommended. My favourite Indian takeaway by far

Best Bangladesh food in Carmarthenshire!!

Lovely friendly people, but unfortunately the food we have just eaten was not nice. The onion bhajis appeared and tasted like yesterday's refried, as did the pilau rice. But the worst thing was the quantity of sugar in the korma. Yes a korma or chicken tikka masala is a mild curry, but the sweetness was hideous, like eating a dessert, meringue like in sugar content. Sadly we won't be returning and those who have compared this to currries across the nation must never have had a curry in a major city like Birmingham! So disappointing and as we don't often have a takeaway we feel cheated. My sugar levels are through the roof and i feel rubbish.

The food here is consistently excellent and very fairly priced. The waiting times are not too long and the quality of the food is great. The best Indian food I have tasted outside of India!

Absolutely delicious food! Staff are always wonderful.

Best Indian take away in Ammanford! Came straight back from my flight on holiday to grab some food and it never disappoints!

Best Indian take away in Ammanford. Fact.

The food is gorgeous and hasn't changed in over 30 years. Highly recommend Shaan Tandoori

Always delicious food and great service every time!

Had a great experience with Shaan Tandoori, great service and good food! Ansar was very friendly and provided a good service! Was recommended the takeaway by friends, and would definitely recommend to others!

My favourite place to get take out always get the happiest of welcome by every member of staff.

Food is lovely,best one we've found in a while&friendly service

Ordered a large order for opening time. Food was hot and ready for us bang on time and the quality was superb. Had my family around for a birthday take away and everyone commented on the taste. Highly recommended!

Food is superb 👍. Service is a little slow but the food is, well worth the wait.

Chicken Jalfrezi with Rice See you soon

Really good food and always pretty quick as well!!

Always friendly and lo Ely food everytime..Best in ammanford

I had a mixed grill tonight and it was dry not good at all 🥺

Food here is excellent and reasonably priced.

Our family favourite! We have used the Shaaan Tandoori weekly for many, many years and it’s consistently good quality: Delicious food and good portions. Zaeed knows us when we phone in our order and always looks after us well.

Food was delicious, tastes very fresh & flavoursome! Thank you especially to Zaeem for exceptional customer service.

Zaeed, thank you for putting a smile on my face every time we phone. Polite and happy! Food is amazing too!

I really wanted to ensure I placed a review on Shaan website. On Saturday 25 th November 2023 when the Christmas lights were switched on and the children's fair was present in front of Shaans takeaway. The Takeaway was so busy but the staff were very welcoming and helpful., albeit some customers were a little short with staff due to waiting for food. They managed to remain, professional, polite and attentive.The food was amazing as always . Thank you.

Takeaway only, only takes cash payments. Simple menu, but the food is good and flavoursome.

Superb food. We've been coming here for years now and the meals are wonderful. Quality and flavours are excellent, very generous portions. By far the best around and the best I've had in the many places I've lived. I usually get the specials and the flavoured rices over the standard ones, some favourites are chicken tikka dopiaza, kochi chicken, special fried rice, coconut rice. And sides and starters like chicken chat, samosa and mushroom bhaji. Thank you Shaan Tandoori, we'll keep coming back!

Food was absolutely outstanding this evening the nicest I've tasted in a long time highly recommend

Opnieuw een bezoekje gebracht aan shaan tandoori,intussen een vaste stek geworden vr ons. Heerlijk eten,vriendelijke bediening,gewoon top!!!

Recommended by friends who live locally. The food was delicious. The menu was extensive. It was busy ... Shame we don't live closer, but will definitely call again if in the area.

Supervriendelijk,superlekker,heel goede prijs kwaliteitverhouding,dus een zekere aanrader!!! Eentje om op ons lijstje vn favoriete restaurants te zetten!!

The food is lovely but when I was overcharged tried to phone but couldn't get through, next time I went in did tell them but they weren't interested. Since posting this they gave me £3 back so thanks👍

The food here is outstanding the best Indian food you can get ,the wait can be has much has 1.5 hours they are very busy and sometimes mistakes are made but the do their best to put it right

Super lekker eten en hele fijne ervaring in een gezellige setting. Super lieve mensen, wij komen zeker terug!

Best Indian takeout in Wales. Friendly staff and great service. I recommend trying the butter chicken. Definitely will be coming back.

Such a shame The Shann was our Indian takeaway of choice, many previous visits have been really good. Today was not one of those times, three mains , the chicken bhuna and jalfresi were okay but the korma was craggy mire coconut than spice. The tarka dahl was really terrible it was like green soup, no real taste. Let's face it how much do lentils cost not a lot. The raita was inedible, the yoghurt was off and had split no, no spice flavouring and batons of cucumber. For the 2 cheapest to make dishes to be so awful does not make me feel comfortable that much effort was being made. Lovely front of house staff such a shame the chefs were left wanting. If I lived nearer I would have gone back but it had been a VERY long day out on the farm. Sorry Shann 😞 disappointed and won't be coming back . 3 mains, 1 rice, 2 nann, dahl and tarka oh and chips that were a bit dry £45 😱

Just got home with my order and had a vindaloo instead of a masala and when I phoned up to say I got the wrong thing there person I spoke to was very rude and put wouldn't exchange it and put the phone down I won't be going bk there. Very rude person

I had some delicious food from Shaan Tandoori Takeaway. It was a frolicsome experience.

In my opinion, the best curry house for miles

Nice food, very oily sauces. Don't skimp on ingredients.

Amazing Takeaway! You know when somewhere is good for food when it takes ages to get through on the phones. Tandoori Mixed Grill is amazing and the chicken and cheese nan. Extremely busy on a weekend but nice to have a treat mid week when it’s quieter.

Best Indian takeaway in the area.

Been going to this place 30yrs, food is good

Beautiful food and plenty of it. Everything was really tasty. Highly recommend 👌

Best Indian take away meal around the amman valley food always spot on 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

My favourite curry in Ammanford

So the food at the Shaan has always been great, its probably the best Indian in the area. What lets it down is that they are without fail always late. Ive waited at least 15mins up to an hour sometimes for food, because they are so poor at managing their time. Its not good enough.

Ordered from here about 6 times now tonight being the recent ..so tasty..every indian I've had has been fab..lush tasty food cannot fault it..in picture is tandoori tikka masala and chicken cafreal..I've also had chicken tikka chilli masala which is fab aswell..

Very hit and miss this time...chips were very dry and seemed like they had been warmed up/re cooked a few times...thats one of the problems of having an early meal I guess...yesterdays leftovers. The onion bahji and naan bread were also quite dry too The chat starter, which used to be excellent here and the best we have ever tasted wasnt far short of a madras in terms of spicyness... However, the other two meals were very good and enjoyed by our guests. I hope this was a 'one off' as the Shaan used to be the best takeaway in the area. I believe it is under new ownership.

Poor food, tikka was more like Madras. Order was wrong

Amazing food and very popular expect a wait, but well worth it

Ridiculous LONG wait for food !!!!!!!! Avoid as it will ruin your evening !! Ordered food at 7pm for 8.30, still waiting outside along with many other people at 9.30!! When asked how long each time told 10 minutes!! And not even a discretionary discount offer for HUGE INCONVENIENCE!! Shouldn’t be so greedy with taking more and more orders without the capabilities of getting the orders which they have already taken done ! I will never go there again!!

Execellent food and service 👌👌👌

I had two chicken tikka kebabs yesterday 31.03.21 and I am very shocked that the chicken was so over cooked and didn't taste right. Second time buying from here and a waste of 15 pound

We use this takeaway at least 2 times a month. The food is out of the world. We sometimes vary what we have however usually have the tandoori mixed grill (meat is amazing), chicken passanda, mugali biryani special and mushroom rice. Sometimes our daughters will have too. We usually get bored or fed up with using one takeaway however have been going there now for years. Very friendly staff too and reasonably priced. We usually get a free naan bread and onion bhaji too. To be balanced my only moans are they don't deliver and don't take card payments however that won't stop us using it and just delays the alcohol being drunk.

Nice but don't take card payments

Great takeaway, food is delicious, always ready on time, best in Ammonford x

Told it would take an hour arrived on time once I paid then the order went into kitchen. 50 mins later after revived food when got it home it was cold. At least 6 of us waiting outside all stating the same. Won't be using them again and a shame as they used to be good

me and my friend cas went here very good food

Food very nice, usually have the chicken tikka kebab, only compaint is the wait, though not too bad, usually about 10 minutes later than told.

Amazing food tonight from the Shaan Ammanford. We had a Tandoori chicken Biryani, a Chicken Pasanda for the kids and a Kahari Ghost with Samosas to start. The Kahari Ghost was outstanding but everything was on point.

Ordered a takeaway for seven people. Service was great, staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Best Indian takeaway I've had for a very long time.

Amazing food, top quality each time

This is our regular for a takeaway. Always friendly and the food is spot on each time. I felt the need to also let the public know how well they have looked after Key Workers by providing them with free food. RESPECT to you for this and thank you also for working in these trying times.

Friendly, polite, helpful ordering. Well presented, generous portions of good, flavoursome food and good value. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Not impressed was told 45 mins when we returned exactly at that time we were made to wait a further 45 minutes u would not survive in my town your only advantage is it's a small town with limited options, food wasnt even out of this world had way too much sauce on both curries :(..

Food was stunning, portion sizes were huge, prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend. Was a little bit of a wait, but put that down to them being very popular and us ordering at a busy time.

Always lovely food. My favourite Indian takeaway 💖

Absolute joke! Ordered food and was told it would be 45 minutes an hour and a half later I had to get my money back and leave. No apology, nothing! First and last time I will try this place.

Had a recent takeaway from here ordered by telephone and was given collection time. Went to pick up at appointed time but then had to wait 30 mins not satisfactory. In saying that food was very good.

The food is excellent. Four of has all had different dishes and there wasn't a dud among them. It isn't the cheapest, but it is still good value for the quality of food you get. Take away only, but food was ready when they said it would be. Well packaged so it was still hot when we got back to our holiday cottage 25 minutes away. Would definitely recommend.

Food is good as long as you're prepared to wait an hour for your takeaway ! This is the third time I've been given a time to collect my pre-ordered takeaway and still had to wait near enough an hour for it.

Outstanding service outstanding food brilliant staff and very very friendly highly recommended

This take away once stood as one of the very best Ammanford had to offer but in recent years I felt the quality of food and taste has taken a bit of a nose dive. It now seems to be hit or miss on whether you get a great meal or a tasteless one. I used to always loved the tandoori kebabs and hope that some day in the future they can find their feet and can consistantly deliver the the top quality food they were once known for. I wish the best for the future. I will probably return eventually in the future.

Best indian in ammanford. Always lovely food can never fault it.keep up the great service. Everything always really tasty

I love this take away. Food is very tasty, each dish is quite distinct in taste. Portions are massive and the service is always efficient and friendly.

Best Indian restaurant in Ammanford. Never disappointed.

Fantastic Indian cuisine, especially for wales.

Best takeaway in town. Got to collect, though.

All made with fresh produce with friendly staff large menus. Easy to order over phone. Easy to park car.

Amazing food can’t get any better. The first time I’ve eaten here and this will be my new regular take away from now on. Food is very fresh. Thank you Shaan take away. Mr Ahmed 👍

Wasn't happy, chicken tasted odd

Been coming here for 30 years, unbeatable as have tried most in Swansea, Morriston and LLanelli and always come back here. Dhansak and Muli are delicious.

Very nice food and good friendly staff

Always have a great meal from here. Staff are great and always check if you like a bit of heat etc. They also do a cheeky Chicken Tikka Kebab served in a Nan bread of your choice. (it’s very filling)

Shaan never disappoints. Highly recommend this place for a takeaway. Been coming here for years and never disappoints

Brilliant food and great prices .. Only bad thing is they do not deliver

Superb ,shame they don't deliver tho

The best we hav had for in years

The last two meals we have had from here have not been a patch on previous offerings. Can only assume different people are in charge. Such a pity as this used to be the best Indian food I'd ever had.

Sorry to report that this is not the excellent takeaway that it used to be. I assume it is under new management/ownership. The same menu but the food is nowhere near the quality it was. Such a pity as we now have to find somewhere else for our curries in the Ammanford area - any suggestions please?

Best Chicken Tika Masala we have had in years. Also well priced portions for they're value. We had one bag spare chips because we normally had to in our other take away so thanks for that. Extremley Clean inside, no faults. Very Helpful and Kind Staff working also they were really good at cooking! By the time we went there it was ready to pick up. Thanks!

Been getting curries from Shaan for 10 years now and the food is always very good. I work away a lot and eat a lot of Indian food and Shaan's is amongst the best. Always tastes freshly prepared. My only negative is the waiting time - when ordering over the phone you are told a time when your food will be ready, say 45 mins, and every time you end up waiting an extra 20 mins or so. This is very frustrating as it takes a big chunk out of your night with driving and waiting.

The food is lovely but the service is terrible..very slow and waiting ages for the food.the wait is worth it thow as the food is lovely

I would recommend to anyone to try shaan, the best indian takeaway by far in the area, we drive from carmarthen, have tried all the local indian takeaway/ resteraunts in the area and shaan is worth the drive. We have tried a number of differance items from the menu and all have been delishous favourites being the chicken tikka dhansak and the onion bhaji. Well done to the chef

I have been here four times over the last year. The food is very good . It would be very good for a restaurant but for a takeaway it is even better.

My partner is a vegetarian, we ordered a dish only a few know how to make, it was a Korma with fruit, very well made, very tasty, happy to reccomend

Average but ok. Nothing special, usually have to wait 50 minutes when order and another 10 minutes when you arrive to collect

Really good food here , only draw back is that you do have to wait a while. Always worth the wait though.

We had lovely food from here last night.it was the nicest tikka masala I have tried. Just the mixed tikka kebab was a bit to salty. Apart from that everything else was really nice and I would have rated five stars.

Food is great and the cost isn't over the top, only down fall is being told food would be 45 mins and upon pickup had to wait a further 40 mins. Was a Saturday and really busy to be fair though.
