Shafiques in Worthing

We had a vegan feast mainly vegetable curry and side dishes. All the dishes were tasty, great spices and flavours! Yum! Ready for collection on time

A really enjoyable fabulous lunch, with Shafique himself and two friends. Myself and my wife, plus our friends, sat down for lunch and were attended to by Shafique and his staff, who provided a wonderful meal for us all. I had the duck, which was superb, followed by ice-cream and coffee. Everything was excellent, the food, the conversation, the ambience, all faultless.

Still the best Indian Restaurant in that area, even after all these years!

There are many good Indian restaurants in the area, but Shafiques is a cut above the rest. I have had countless dine-in and takeaways over the years, and the food and service have always been superb.

We are used Shafiques in Worthing for both eating in and take-away for over 25 years. Last week we had a take-away and it was pretty poor. We've reached out independently with no success. Very sad.

Best service and the food is the most delicious we both have experienced in a while. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing dinner and desert I couldn't fault it at all, was a lovely evening 🙂

Amazing atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes! I'm totally enticed on the quality of every dish that was presented to me. Thank you so very much, and keep up the authenticity. Shafiques has the best mango lassi. The main entrees(king prawn and tandoori mixed grill) were out of this world! Superb flavor and cooked to perfection. Hats off to the staff and wonderful owner! 💯👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼🥳♥️❤️

Always great food and great service.

Wonderful food and great service. The beer was real good too !

Very bland. Travelled from Hove on recommendation but we all found the food very bland. Our search to find a decent Indian in Sussex continues😞

Ordered a takeaway when visiting family in Worthing and they recommended this restaurant. Although it was a Saturday evening our large order arrived without a long delay and at the time promised. All the dishes were pronounced good and the portions were generous. The prices were not the cheapest but worth it for the quality. It would have been nice to have had complementary pickles/dressings etc. as the add on prices for the sundry items seemed quite high so we didn't order any

Ordered from here once or twice in the past and it was good more recently thought it was bang average for £45 and only a couple of dishes. I want a lot more quality, for the kids korma was dry and homogenous like any other standard Indian and the lamb damask was also a bit dry and lacking depth of flavour. condiments were okay but I think I want a bit more for my money.

I have eaten in the restaurant in the past and was very happy with the food and warm service. I ordered a takeaway tonight on Deliveroo and the food that was delivered was not only bad but inedible! It is almost like all the dregs and old food that has been under the lights for a few days was slopped into the aluminium dishes and sent to my house! So disappointed that I will never order a takeaway from them again.

Shame! The food was delicious, succulent chicken and my partners lamb was tender but the portions have got smaller requiring us to order side dishes for the first time (been coming here for many years) it's become very expensive, especially wine prices! With so much competition I would suggest any of the other local Indian restaurants now.

Take out only Nice food but pretty pricey.

Went for a meal last night with my wife and wasn’t impressed. We have been many time s in the past and always had a very good meal. Last night we had to wait nearly an hour for our meal.When it did arrive it was tasteless and not up to previous standards.The drinks were very expensive for mediocre wine. The sauces and pickles that come with pompadoms seemed to be watered down. We won’t be going back any time soon which is a shame as it is very local to us.

Peviously we have rated the Indian food from this place very highly. This time we collected dishes for 6 people. I had chosen the most expensive Chef's Special. What a shock!! it was almost tasteless!! I had to use "pataks Lime Pickle" in order to give it an uplift. The following night my wfe made a quick, mild currye which was much better!

Ate here last Saturday evening while visiting family. We have been to this restaurant before however not for several years. It was always a great place to eat and that hasn't changed. The welcome was warm and we were seated straight away as my sister in law had booked. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful and drinks were served quickly. The food was all tasty and delicious and beautifully presented. My chicken tikka madras was perfect and every member of our group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. The naan bread was the lightest, most beautiful naan I have ever eaten. I can't wait to go back to Shafiques next time we're in Worthing.

Amazing as always, catered brilliantly for a large group and the gents working there are always so friendly. Best Indian restaurant in Worthing

We usually love the food here and the occasional takeaway. But last night we were joined by a cockroach scuttling across the table. So i’m afraid we will not be going there again.

Over priced for a standard meal

Takeaway last night absolutely beautiful. 2nd 1 from here . Food still hot on delivery

We went on a Monday night and I was surprised to see how busy it was, testament to how good Shafiques is. The service was fast and staff friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and could not fault it at all. Would most definitely recommend and we'll be going back.

I am guessing Wednesday is the the chef's night off, ordered a takeaway which had a truly tasteless watery vindaloo sauce, with dubious chicken (we ordered and paid for tikka meat) so different to the takeaway meal we had on Saturday night from here, which was excellent. I cannot believe they were happy to let this leave their kitchen.

What a lovely dining experience. Service was super friendly and impeccable. Beautiful food and reasonably priced. Would go back in a heartbeat.

We eat here regularly or get the takeaway. Food is always fantastic. The main thing is the service and welcome. Very professional and welcoming. I am 57 and have had my fair share of curries all over the UK. Shafiques comes in my top 3 of all time. Highly recommended.

Food was nice but the meat was a very small portion, the majority was sauce and veg for the curry we ordered. I expected more as it was quite expensive. Also felt that we were rushed to leave by a waiter (figured that it was the owner as his name was the same as the restaurant) kept hovering and asking if we finished do we want to order anymore food etc.

The food was great. Plenty of flavor and everything was perfect. The food took a long time to come out, we were a party of 8 when I came so maybe it had to do with that. But overall it was a good experience and I’d come back

Shafiques serves divine Indian cuisine. The total opposite of your greasy, oily goo. Wonderfully spiced, flavoursome, textured dishes with super friendly staff. In my opinion, this is by far the best Indian food in the area.

I usually love this take away however it gave me food poisoning, after eating this I was unwell for over a week, it's a shame as I can never go back now.

Went with my friends on Sunday.Everything was amazing from the food to the wonderful service we received. Without doubt the best Indian we have had locally. Cannot recommend this restaurant too highly

Best curry we've had for years. Nice stress free atmosphere.

Fantastic flavours and great service. 10 out of 10 every time 😁👌

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good quality food. Overall a lovely Indian restaurant that actually perfects food quality.

The best curry in worthing..!!!

Food is always amazing the only place to go for a curry in Worthing! Staff are great and such good value for money.

By far the best curry around always a great meal great quality and perfect service 5 stars isn’t enough

We were staying locally so popped in on a Wednesday evening to find it very popular but luckily they had a table spare so it might be worth booking ahead. The food was fairly typical fare for an Indian/Bengali restaurant but well cooked and flavoursome with subtle spicing. We were well impressed with the service- friendly and helpful with everything turning up pronto.

Great service, super food, tasty and hot. All the usual favourite Indian choices, but a good selection of chef’s specialties. For starters we enjoyed Onion Bhazi, chicken tikka, chilli paneer and prawn puri, all very tasty. For mains we enjoyed, the Goan hara murgh, Garlic chilli chicken tikka, excellent.

Great food and Cobra zero beer for drivers

A special meal with a very special person (sadly no longer in my life), but we had an amazing time.

Our anniversary was in January, but couldn't celebrate then. However, even though delayed, we wanted to celebrate so went to Shafiques. Our meals were excellent, we both decided on the salmon steaks which were wonderful. Beautifully cooked, lovely flavour, very tasty, Shafique himself welcomed us on arrival, sat and chatted with us for quite a while, which was good. I noticed he treats all his guests as friends, which over the years with repeat visits they become. We will certainly be there again, soon, I hope.

Great food service and friendly staff

Loved it smashing impromptu night out

Great service and food. I love a good curry here.

If anyone thinks of using shafiques then I wouldn't bother. Booked a table for 7pm and ensured we wouldn't be rushed. 45 minuets before we are due to arrive we get a text saying you only have an hour and half at your table. I ring up to see if that was a mistake, to then be told they have booked another table in at 8.30 so we had a set time to eat our meal. More focused on income rather than the customer being satisfied with having a great experience.

Bland! If you like your curry “English” you might like it… because seriously zero flavour.. Prawns were shrimp and looked like they were previously dried and rehydrated. Sag Paneer had no paneer, just a tsp of grated cheese on the top and was entirely flavourless. Devoid. Naan was flavourless. Really bad especially for the price.. There are a few good Indian establishments in Worthing, but Shafiques isn’t one. Sorry.

Not your usual curry experience. The food is very bland no flavour spice or salt in any of the foods. We ordered a starter 2 mains rice and naan. Food is on the costly side for something so under flavoured.

Excellent. Food quality is much higher than other Indian restaurants in the area. Always go here when in town. Ask the server for suggestions as they have some great chefs specials that people don’t usually order!

Very disappointing. Others have already said, but the food is mediocre at best - no flavour, chewy chicken, prawns were particularly questionable (to the point we opted not to eat them).. Worthing is not short of excellent Indian places; this is not one of them.

1st Indian meal since moving to Worthing & a very positive experience. Warm greeting, friendly staff & staff respectful in manner & appearance . Beautifully presented food & good proportions. Food incredibly spiced. Reasonably priced. Tables a little too close together would be my only negative comment. Will still visit again though.

Love this place. We meet my folks in here every time we come their way to dine out. Beautiful food, restaurant & people. + my partner and I are vegan, and they cater for this very well 10/10 💥✌️

Pre-ordered online to collect two hours later. Food was ready on arrival, and hot. Delicious flavours as always. Tender chicken and flavoursome. Before Christmas we did the same thing and the food wasn’t quite ready. We put it down to the Christmas rush and thought we’d try again. We’re glad we did!

We had 4 dishes and none of them had any flavour. The meat was questionable and the prawns were disturbingly translucent.

Thank you for a wonderful evening! We celebrated my nephew's 18th here last night and the staff went out of their way to make the evening special. All of the food was delicious and the portions huge and great value. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free. We'll definitely be back.

Always amazing food and service, over 30 years ive been going, not once have I been let down! Actually just been tonight, outstanding again! Definitely worth a visit if you are local or passing by! Just back from another visit! Genuinely the best, can't get enough of it!! Slightly more expensive than it has been, but that's standard across the board, Also necessary to maintain the high standard of food! We eat well, two courses plus drinks tend to work out about £50 for the two of us, I can put some food away, I NEVER leave hungry, in fact I roll home after!

Really not great. Quite expensive, but that’s not the problem. Chicken was 3rd rate.. chewy/dry/tasteless, and definitely not from a tandoor oven, in my opinion. And, all in all , that’s enough to completely ruin our meal. So— we’ve been duped, basically..by them saying they’ll provide the tikka meat we’ve paid for, and clearly not delivering. . They seem to be letting their standards drop, like so many of the Indian food outlets do. Come on Shafiques— don’t you think you owe us some decent food in return for our loyalty , especially at the moment…

Christmas special dinner. Great food and plentiful. Friendly and efficient service.

We had been told that this was a great Indian restaurant by friends but we were so disappointed. The biriyani appeared to have been microwaved and was extremely bland, keema Nan with no spice, lambs shashlik with no real flavour of spices. Having been to India several times, this is nothing like Indian food. It’s been so dumbed down on the spice level that you can’t call it Indian food. It’s too westernised. We won’t be returning.

A group of us meet here regularly. The food is always excellent, the chicken garlic shashlick is particularly good. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient.

No one does it like Shafiques! I REPEAT, no one does it like Shafiques!! I have eaten here for 10+ years. I travel the UK regularly and have never had another Indian restaurant top Shafiques. The flavours of each individual dish are impeccable. The portions and price are so reasonable and the service has always been great. If you want a flavoursome, top quality Indian, this is the place to order from. No doubt about it. Highly recommend.

Dinner with family on a Sunday evening and it was an absolute delight. Very clean premises, an extensive interesting menu, attentive friendly service and excellent food. I have had the good fortune to eat many curries throughout the world and the Lamb madras was one of the finest I have eaten in the UK. Tender meat, beautifully spiced. No oil or fat to be seen. The cauliflower and onion Bhaji were again free of oil, well spiced and cooked to perfection. Other dishes enjoyed by my family were of equally high standard. Thank you to all concerned for an excellent meal at a reasonable price.

I have used this restaurant for sit down meals but more often for delivered take away chef specials and tandoori grills. Until yesterday I have always rated it very highly. Admittedly I was very early and I was probably the first customer for a take away as the restaurant was empty. I think that may explain why this takeaway was probably the worst and one of the most expensive takeaway tandoori mixed grill I have had in a long time. Cons: Although waiting waiting for 25 minutes - which was not a problem to me - it did not taste freshly prepared. The Tandoori chicken was soft and wet inside, the Nan bread was extremely hard ( purchased as an addition rather than provided with the tandoori mixed grill as it often is) there was no prawn but this was clear from the menu and no onions. Pros: On the positive side there were more tikka pieces than usual and two sheik kababs rather than the usual one, the salad was very good Overall; Although this may not be the case, I am sorry to say that it tasted to me like yesterday's reheat, Quality is much more important than quantity and I feel that this Tandoori mixed grill fell short. The onion bahji I ordered separately was good but much too large for a starter for one .

Four of us sat down for a wonderful meal. The food was excellent, the service and attention we received was second to none. The restaurant was quite busy, being a Friday, but even so the waiters found time to give us personal attention, explaining the...

Brilliant meal. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommended

Brilliant takeaway. Prompt service.

Based on my takeaway experience, food is well prepared and service is good. Hope to eat in soon and update review.

The hospitality, the dining experience, the food served everything was phenomenal.

Friendly,helpful and great food

I have eaten here in the restaurant several times and been happy. However last night we had take away for 4. Could not get through on phone at 6.30, see I went there in person! Had to wait 40 minutes, it was extremely expensive, and...

Very very very bad experience i was here just for one day job some where i ordered food first they are too too much expensive they are charging more tha 3£ just for a normal size naan and they asked to deliver the food in 30 min diver came after one hour and call me and say brother come outside hurrup .. when i get my lunch it was lamb curry i never ate this tasteless curry even before my life so bad experience and they charged double

As a northerner where the best curries are at my bar is set very high. Recently visited friends who says this is the place for a good curry and got a takeaway. Very impressed and cracking curry and would easily hold its own in the norther territories lol.

Usually I would never choose Indian food but I think this experience has changed my mind. The food was incredible, being vegan I got a vegetable dish with coconut rice, it was divine. I went with my parents & 2 cousins from America, everyone was impressed.The owner shafique was so lovely too, really great experience.

Always 100% an incredible earring experience. Exceptional food, service friendly, respectful and never disappoints.

Just great food and fantastic service. Been coming here for years and it is great time after time. Best place in Worthing for a wonderful Indian meal.

Been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Great food and superb service. Best Indian restaurant in Worthing. Keep up the great work Shafiques.

I can’t recommend Shafiques highly enough. Everything, from the menu, staff, atmosphere and food, was lovely. Living in West London I’m surrounded by Indian restaurants and this is one of the best that I have visited. The food is delicious. Everything was cooked to order...

Great food,lovely staff,what more could you want,I be here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends,many thanks.

Excellent food and very friendly, family run, restaurant. I have been there a number of times and they have always been above average. I would highly recommend - it may be a good idea to book.

Great place for a meal if you like Indian cuisine,highly recommended.

Best takeaway in ages, arrived hot and food was great. Thank you

Shafiques is superb. Great host, lovely team and wonderful food. Its our favourite restaurant.

On entering SHAFIQUES last Sunday on Goring Road, Goring-by-Sea, I was met by a smiling waiter......i asked him if they did 'take aways'.......he still smiled but walked away......he obviously did NOT understand me, but rather than say just that, he ignored me and left a...

Paid £40 on the basis of a starter and a mains as takeaway. For that I would expect great quality food, perhaps with acceptable portions. Not sure if it's just today but all fell short of what I was hoping for. On top of the prices, the little incentive for collection also got removed...This service and quality do not justify the premium price especially when we compare to other local and similar restaurants.

I had the most horrible, expensive takeaway from this restaurant! I was so shocked as I had dined there and it was lovely. Why therefore was their takeaway service so appalling. Will never order again

Decent Staff but food underwhelming! The food description to what we received did not match the 6 dishes we tried while visiting friends locally. The veggie dishes were better but chicken tasted Slightly underdone and watery . Maybe just an off day as reviews were...

The best Indian food I've ever had. All 3 dishes were fantastic. Takeaway was ready on time and the restaurant premises were very impressive. Staff very friendly. We'll definitely become repeat customers. Well done!

Fantastic meal as always 😋. King Prawn and chicken balti , pilau rice with garlic naan and onion bhaji .

We went out after hard day at work to our favourite place for a curry 🍛. We weren't disappointed 😋 🙂. First time in the restaurant since they've refurbished it. Great food as always, especially my King Prawn and chicken balti....

I was first taken here by a very dear friend. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is very warm and friendly. Five stars from me!

A group of 18...good service very helpful...plus very tasty food...

Service good, food disappointing. Prices have risen dramatically.

Found the waiter to be rude and disrespectful. Definitely will not visit again.

Great food and great customer service but was disappointed to find a smaller portion then what I was ment to get and they didnt give me any napkins but overall it was good experience.

Best Indian restaurant and food in Worthing. Friendly service with Beautiful, delicious food. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who love’s tasty food.

One of the best and established houses in Worthing - well worth a visit.

Enjoyed a delicious meal at Shafiques, Worthing with friends. My favourite restaurant, we had various dishes, chicken dhansak, prawn dhansak, chicken pathia & chicken tikka. All very tasty & cooked to perfection.

The food was fantastic, the table service from Tanvir was excellent. We will be returning with friends and family!!
