Recently refurbished restaurant with the owners of the old Junoon restaurant moving to this restaurant. The food is still of an excellent quality and the service is second to none. Not cheap but the quality is worth paying for. Well worth a visit when in Wem.

Great to be able to go back to what used to be the Shabab. New owners, from Junoon has really got it cracked. Food service and atmosphere are all excellent. It is a real shame that the minority of racists in Wem persist in making libellous comments against this business and the hard working staff.

We moved to Wem in March and started going here for a curry twice a week because our new house had no working kitchen. Four months later our new kitchen is in and we are still going twice a week it’s that good. The food is tasty, staff are very friendly and it’s really reasonably priced. It always seems busy especially at the weekend. 5*.

First time I have been to the Shabab. First thing was it was pretty cold in the restaurant (late October), we ahd to keep our coats on. If they want to operate as a take away they should just do that. Pops were not fresh cooked (cold) or not cooked poperly they were quite flexible chewy to eat, on the other hand my wifes starter was pretty crispy and it shouldn't have been, main courses were OK, good portion size. Not sure I would give it another go. We may have hit the restaurant on an "off night", as it has a pretty good review rating. The staff were friendly but the service was really slow.

Awful experience. Before placing our order, we double checked they'd deliver to where we were, to which they said yes. We ordered a meal for 8 adults & were told it would take up to 45mins to arrive. When an hour had passed, we called the restaurant & were repeatedly lied to about the driver "just got in the car" & then "just around the corner". We spoke with the delivery driver on the phone to make sure she wasn't lost, she seemed to find the situation hilarious which was absolutely infuriating. The meal ended up being 2 & a half hours late, when delivered it was still hot, so the restaurant had completely lied to us about when it left them too. I would warn anyone from ordering from here. The food was absolutely average, wait time was shocking & the attitudes of the staff & driver were disgusting. This was on a Wednesday night so I dread to think what the service would be like on a busy night.

Called for a curry while camping nearby. Husband is a big curry fan. We had a starter, poppadoms, two curries, chips and nann plus two large Cobras The chicken tikka balti with spinach was amazing. The bowl was emptied and up there with the finest my husband had had. Whole bill was under £35 and service was very friendly - the grandson of the gentleman who owned the restaurant Would definitely recommend trying this one out

Since moving to the local area a few months ago we've ordered takeout / collection from Shabab four times. The food is hands-down the best takeout food we've ever had - the korma is deliciously creamy, the pastry on the samosas is crumbly and crunchy, and the portions are huge. We've had the food delivered twice and it arrived quickly (despite our house being difficult to find in the dark), and the other two times we arranged for collection and only had to wait a few minutes on arrival for the food to be packaged up. The staff have always been incredibly friendly and polite. I've never been a huge fan of curries, but after having this for the first time I actually started to crave them - it's definitely our takeout of choice!

We have just moved to Wem, and during the storm, we decided to run in and grab a quick takeaway on our way home. We love our curries once a week, so we were hoping our local would be a good one. We met Armed, who greeted us and welcomed us to Wem. Very friendly, and to be honest from the start of ordering a takeaway, I knew this place would be fantastic customer service. What a host! So that's us once a week in here enjoying an amazing curry. And at the same time feel comfortable and welcomed. Nice furnishings, lighting and unlike some curry restaurants in Shrewsbury its actually warm and cozy. Food is 5* and great value. It has it all for us. Great for locals, and the surrounding areas. Plus he did tell us it's been open for more then 24 years. So that's says it all. Thank you to the staff at Shabab in Wem.

I had waited 1 hour for my main meal at this Indian restaurant. And by the time the food had arrived, it was only small portion! People coming in for a takeaway were getting their food in minutes. Ridiculous service, not even cleaning tables! McDonald's provides better table service than this "supposed" Best Indian in Shropshire.

Very poor service, they were constantly on their phones. On several occasions I had to ask them to clear away things off the table as there was just no room to put anything else, we also had to ask for drink refills as we were not approached. On placing the food on the table the things that they brought the dishes on where filthy dirty, I didnt really want to eat because of this but we had waited an hour already for the food to get there. Also at no point during our meal were we asked if everything was ok, if we were I would of said something. We will not be going in this restaurant again.

Recently moved to Wem so visited Shabab for the first time. We were shown to our table. The tablecloth was not as clean as you would expect with dried curry stains. A very polite waitress brought us a menu and took our drink order. After about 5 mins we placed our order. Our popadoms arrived and the chutneys arrived and they looked like they had been recycled over and over because the dishes they were in were disgusting covered in what can only be described as chutney that had spilled over the dish and not been cleaned for days. As soon as we saw this we called over the waitress, showed her and requested our order to be cancelled as we would leaving immediately. Who knows the state of the kitchen after seeing this. The waiter then came over and asked what was wrong, so I explained and didn't get an apology from him. I would like to add that the waitress was very genuinely apologetic. After all this we were still charged for the drink!! We walked out and went across the road to another Indian Restaurant called Junoon which was absolutely exquisite and a class above by far. I would totally recommend that if you want an Indian meal in Wem sit down or take away you stay well clear of this establishment. This review has only got 1 star as it would not post unless a star rating was chosen.

We happened upon this great place by coincidence (the nearest pub to our inn would not serve my 11 year old son). I am very happy that we visited, because this is our only night in Shrewsbury on this trip. And Shabab Balti was a fantastic find. Everything was delicious!We had vegetable samosas, spicy poppadums, onion bahjee, and the butter onion tika masala chicken to share. We enjoyed everything, and would definitely come back if we had the chance, and bring our family and friends.The chef came out several times, including after our meal to offer ice cream to my son, on the house. It is a lovely atmosphere, very family friendly. Don't miss it, if you are in town!

Being served by a waiter who wanders around with his hands in his pockets most of the time is weird, however, it was the poor food quality that ruined the meal. Chicken Tikka Ginger Masala and the King Prawn Tikka were vivid red (scarily red) and not the greatest. Apart from 2 other clientele the place was empty. Won't be going back.

Incapaz de llegar a casa a tiempo antes de nuestros restaurantes locales cerrados, decidimos probar uno en Wem donde tuvimos una cita temprano por la noche. Vimos el Shabab Balti en la calle alta es bastante fácil, pero tenía que hacer un par de círculo hasta encontrar un lugar de aparcamiento a unos 100 m de distancia. El interior era cómoda aunque un poco pasado de moda pero nada que reclamar. Un cruce entre la casita de madera con papel pintado restaurantes de una manada de 1970. No se puede superar la nostalgia!

Absolutely awful. Meat fatty and awful, chips were so over cooked and dry, all food tasteless, hot curries not hot, keema rice had no keema in it. Very expensive for some inedible and tasteless food. Called for assistance and would not refund for the poor quality food. Do not use this takeaway or restaurant you’ll be utterly disappointed and waste your money.
