Shah Jahan Indian Restaurant in Wiltshire

always brilliant service and brilliant food

Absolutely sublime lamb dishes. A restaurant that’s willing to spend the time and energy on creating tender lamb entree’s is rarer these days and the spices were very well balanced. The butter chicken, a staple for us Caucasians I must say, was very nice also. Well done. We will return!

Great food and service. More music needed

What’s the point of posting menu’s in Amesbury when someone orders you turn around and say you’re TOO busy. Most disappointing.

I would never recommend this to anyone I would have given negative stars if I had a option Don’t go with the menu name thinking that it’s Indian cuisine, they have customised the cuisine as per their wish and gave Indian names. Regarding quantity hardly three spoons for a person Even after complaining he accepted that it’s not what it’s written but did not change the food. Service staff don’t let complete the food, even if the restaurant is empty before you finish the last bite bill is on your table. They have only presentation skills unfortunately stomach doesn’t get full with presentation without good food. Just a business without humanity Infact I humbly request please don’t write Indian cuisine it’s nowhere close to Indian food

Just had a takeaway from here and the main part of my meal was missing, so phone and was told sorry but you can have a free meal next time. Great but I wanted a good meal tonight, will not be using this cowboy outfit again despite having done so for many years!!

Home delivery. The food was very good which is more than I can say for the delivery guy who took it upon himself to wipe mucus from his nose then flick it onto my path. Needless to say, I shall not be using this establishment again as it makes me wonder what the hygiene is like in the kitchen.

If you want a Indian in Salisbury, go to The Shah Jahan.

We ordered popadoms with assorted pickles, these were disappointing. For main I ordered salmon malabari . I was given a lamb dish. When this was pointed out to staff they quickly swapped my curry, I did however have to ask for the rice and plate to be changed. There was no apology! The ‘salmon’ I then received could have been any over flavoured fish. Overall disappointing.

We ordered a takeaway this evening. I asked for chicken tikka pathia...this tasted nothing similar to pathia I have had many times at other restaurants and the chicken was more like shredded off cuts rather than tikka pieces. My husbands food was also of poor quality. We will not be ordering here again.

We went in here for a family outing. We requested a table at the corner but was told to sit at another table. This was eventually sorted, and we were led to our table with some apologies. The food was incredibly good even though it took a while to get them ready. Perhaps, because the Diner was packed full the night we went. The service was great, notwithstanding, and the waiters were helpful and calm. The menu had an assortment of Indian food and drinks to choose from. The Shah Jahan was quite cosy and had colourful wall decorations. The toilet was clean. Overall, we had a great experience, and we will be back.

What an excellent find, by the station , just do it!!

Microwave food starter 😋 lamb sheeskeb offside hot othersside cold disappointed when I complain manger came ask me to live I told this is the way you treat customer w ill post the pics

Very disappointed with our takeaway last night, the curry was very watery, no taste, the problem is we had the same dishes last time, but this time it was awful. Will not be going there again.

As always, food and service at the highest level. I always come back for delicious food. I RECOMMEND!!!!

My family have been coming here since I was born, even had our meal after my brother’s christening here. Every time I come in I don’t need to order as I’ve had the same meal since I was a child, and they remember every time. We’ve made great friends over the years, like the rest of Salisbury. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Amazing service from really good people. Food was mouthwatering! Really good experience 👍🏽

A lot of fun dishes are made. Staff behavior is very good. Food is very standard

Food lovely,but party of 20 were charged individually a service charge,they came to the tables max of 3 times for several hours of being in the restaurant.

Lovely food lovely service great choice of food. Best india in Salisbury

Have had lots of positive interaction with the restaurant previously - the food is excellent - but really poor and disappointing service tonight. Made an order at 5.30, it had not arrived by 7. I rang to chase this and, after much fuss, was told it had been delivered to me. This was not the case - I have been at home all evening, and was told the food had been delivered to a 'gentleman with long grey hair', which certainly isn't me. The delivery driver had clearly delivered to the wrong house. When I asked for a refund, the attitude displayed was poor at best. They were unable to give me a timescale of when the refund would be processed and seemed, frankly, reluctant to do so. I will not be using their services again and suggest that they are more discerning when vetting their delivery drivers.

Excellent traditional British Indian. Full from 1900 on Friday night onwards.

Had take out. Excellent food ready right on time. Great people. Strongly recommended

We ordered a takeaway for my family for four people, three of us were ill the following day and the day after. I informed the Shah Jahan by email, no response. Then a phone and I was promised someone would be in touch, I am still waiting. However it’s too late to resolve this it’s bad enough selling that makes you ill but even worse when they don’t have the decency to respond to your complaint, never again!

Very disappointing meal tonight; ordered the lamb chilli gosh and the meat was so tough! Such a shame as I have had this dish before and enjoyed. I let the waiter know so hopefully he passed on to the chef.

A first class Indian. The food was superb and was well served on a quiet Tuesday evening. The menu has a great selection of dishes and we enjoyed Onion Bhaji, Sali Murgh, chicken Shahlik with Pineapple, a peshwari naan, a chapati and aloo saag. Everything was excellent and there was nothing left at the end.

We simply desired to have just tea and not food. But the staff rudely sent us away. No apologies were offered and their attitude was rather unpleasant.

Rude staff. Refused to offer tea (read chai) to us if we don't eat in and took great pride in saying that. The ambiance is shady which is why we didn't eat in in the first place. Worst customer service

Poor service asked if they do tea replied with a stupid arrogant face “ not without eating in” like how do you know we were not planning on eating here. We visiting from north west! Appalling level of service and attitude from the baldy chap

The best Indian in town .. service is always the same ..amazing . I’ve been going here for decades ..and the guys are fantastic

I’m autistic and the atmosphere was very calming and not overwhelming, the staff were amazing and the food came so quick. It was great with allergies and no cross contamination with its delicious food. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice food, friendly staff, comfy restaurant, waited quite a while for both the bill and to order but that's why I dropped a star!

I always get a meal from here when I stay at Salisbury District Hospital overnight every week or so. The food is always very good and they kindly deliver to my room in the grounds of the hospital. I cannot vouch for the restaurant itself but have heard positive things from the locals.. Overall I am extremely pleased with the food and service - thank you.

We tried this restaurant after seeing an advert in a marketing newspaper. As a visitor to the city we would never have discovered it otherwise. The service, the food, the setting was all fantastic! I highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Best Indian food I've had, service was on point and I'd highly recommend this amazing place to everyone.

Ali and the boys are fanbloodytastic Such great food , such great price … Service is amazing

The best curry is Salisbury! They also have lovely service. We accidentally ordered the wrong item for delivery and they kindly redelivered the items that we mixed up. This was done in literally a matter of minutes. Great place!

Really lovely food that the chef will adapt to your liking. Polite and friendly staff. Super reasonable. Will definitely visit again when next in the area.

Great food, great staff, great service and great atmosphere.

Wow!!.. What an amazing place!.. lovely food, outstanding service!

Fantastic takeout. Easy website, great menu, rapid delivery and just delicious. This is a great restaurant to eat in and now I can thoroughly recommend the take out too. Recommended 👍🏻

Food 😁 best Chicken Pasanda EVER! Drink - asked for a small sparkling water, and double checked they understood small, but got 750ml! Also cleared some plates before everyone was finished. Bit noisy through the hole in the wall from the radio and the food orders to go! Still tipped......

We ordered a take away on Sunday evening. We used to really enjoy the food from SJ but the quality has deteriorated. The meat in the lamb bhuna was tough and the chicken tikka in the dhansak tasted undercooked and was not at all succulent. Very disappointing and most of the curry ended up in the bin. The spinach side dish, nan and rice were all fine, but an expensive take away considering the quality of the food. I did message SJ but I have had no reply. I had an excellent meal at Anokaa earlier in the week and in future I will order take always from there.

One of the best Indians I’ve come across! Great food and great service!

Table of six booked for 6pm. Staff friendly and attentive. Food choices very good. Decent portions. Varied selection of food ordered and from the starters to mains all dishes were fantastic. Great depth of flavours and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend. And to top it all very reasonably priced.

Terrible and repulsive vegetarian curry. A few chickpeas floating in a soup with a few random pieces of cabbage. Never have I seen anything like it.It was not edible and a total rip off at £5.95 as a take away, side dish, it was like bitter soup. The rest of the take away was cold, small and expensive. Never again will I ever eat here again. I was going to phone and complain, but decided to leave a review and never return, they may have offered more food which would of been out of the question. Find a different restaurant to eat, they are seriously taking the mickey.

We used to rate this Indian the best in Salisbury, we ordered food for the first time in a year we found it to be very bland with no taste very disappointed.

Vegetable Rogan best ever! Great take away 👍😄

Food is "meh" at best. Biriyani was boring and non-memorable, side dishes were bland and watery. Where's the herbs and spices?! Also can't get over that we were charged £15 for 10 poppadoms from a packet -_-

First take away from here and it was super fast delivery, the food is delicious! Very friendly staff to :)

Great find. Food was great, and the service was excellent. Five stars!

Great and Quick Service, Excellent and Authentic South Asian Food in a nice family-friendly setting. Very reasonably priced as well.

Very nice food egg Rice and spicy chicken love it thank you

With out a doubt, the best Indian restaurant in the Country!

Pickle is the specialty of the restaurant. Try Papad with Pickles which change your mood. Love that Indian style pickles.

Shah Jahan what are you doing. You used to be one of the best. I’m sorry but the food you sent us was bad. You need to get a chef that knows how to cook. Very disappointed

Take away. Curry very bland. No difference between curry types. Just seemed to be a generic curry sauce.

Great food and friendly staff, always busy when others aren't so busy too!

Greeting was friendly. Very few customers at this time (1800). When we declined ordering Poppadoms, the service became very formal without the smiles. Why? Some of the food was quite tasty but only luke warm, three of the dishes were sent back to be re-heated, no apology offered. House Red Wine was very good.

Regular visitor to Salisbury and staying in accommodation at the hospital. I always call to order food for delivery and it always arrives swiftly and hot. I usually have a chicken or lamb Balti, vindaloo hot, with onion bhajis, a stuffed paratha and swap the naan for pilau rice. I wouldn’t say it’s cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for and the food is always great in my experience. I have literally just had a delivery and it was excellent, so I felt I would leave another review. Very helpful and outstanding food as always - thank you Shah Jahan 👌

Definitely the best Indian Take Away in Salisbury. An amazing range of curries and amazing service. Definitely worth dining in or out!

We had a lovely meal here, very Tasty, well presented. Nice ale available in addition to kingfisher beers etc.

Great food. One of the best Indian meals ever. Make reservations. Prices are reasonable. Good service.

Best in Indian food in Salisbury.

Went for family meal top food and service

Great meal great taste... Very friendly atmosphere and good price as well. Will be back again soon to try that menu again see you soon... 👍 👍

Food always great being going here over 15 years. Staff freindly

Table for 13 was booked for 730, when we arrived it was as if we had not booked a table. The manager was very rude and we thought of leaving. Over half and hour later the table was provided, Theron, was like eating amongst family argument amongst the staff. Theresa, who's worked behind the bar, was they only one, who behaved as a host should. We won't return. The food was very good but didn't make up for the dinning experience.

Been a takeaway and eat in Customer for years! Sadly it's gone downhill.. currys are quite watery, especially when you have a takeaway. Our curry's arrived and they were half full and when i rang and asked why I was told that this is due to inflation.. so their prices have gone up but the portions have got smaller! Due to the size the curry was too small for my daughter so a very expensive takeaway for half the size! Will be looking elsewhere

Bought my usual takeaway. Lal murgh was watery. Chicken was sub standard. Biryani lacked flavour. Tikki masala was too sweet. You was always so good! Not this time

Proper Indian restaurant without the overpriced faf... Had tandoori chicken with rice and hot chili naan and sagalo.. Very tasty full of flavour... We will be back

Excellent meal with friends on our stay in Salisbury good food nice staff highly recommended

Just had lamb tikka and chicken dansak delivered. Not fantastic. Lamb was tough with gristle, and chicken dansak was poor with way too much cardamon. Food was luke warm, not the usual standard. I think we'll be giving the Shah a miss for a while.

A cosy restaurant with helpful and friendly staff. The food was amazing.

Excellent welcome. Quick service. Food and drink delicious. Excellent facilities

We had food delivered when visiting the area and could not fault this very tasty food, unsure if it would deliver, we paid a visit during the day to ask, and was told yes definitely to a local premier inn.

Reasonable curry but I ordered a full mixed tandoori grill. The table opposite ordered the same and theirs came out sizzling. We were a table of 6 and my tandoori came out far from sizzling and was a little dry.

We had an amazing meal last evening. It was delivered as always by a polite smart covid regs carried out young man.During the last few years all through covid, we had a takeaway from this restaurant every month. It was our sanity to have these lovely meals delivered. We always have a spot on meal. I have an allergy to onion. No problem for The Shah Jahan. Thank you so much for all our brilliant meals. We also eat in the restaurant with friends, we never eat at any other Indian restaurant The food is always cooked to perfection and hot. Presentation always spot on.

Excellent service and fantastic tasty dishes! So nice we went two days running while holidaying in the area. Have returned twice every year since first visit and still absolutely fantastic Indian cuisine and service too. We went lunchtime and not very busy. Covid restrictions in place and staff implemented their personal protection wear too. Well worth a visit we haven't found a consistent Indian restraunt as good as this one¡ Awesome meals. Thanks 👍 been again 3 times this year and lunchtime today and all dishes excellent again, going back Saturday too now. Definitely the best curry quisine we have tasted and pleasant attentive service. Thanks guys👍

Great food worth booking a table. Will definitely return

Service was appalling, waited over an hour for our food to be arrive only to discover the chicken curry was raw! Was really embarrassing as we’d recommended this place to friends visiting, will not be returning!

Really well organised and great food too Took a party of twenty and no problem at all.

Food was very good as was the service

Very extensive menu, all of which sounded mouth watering, and what we ordered didn't disappoint. My husband (not the biggest Indian Asian food lover) can't wait to go back!!!

I have a takeaway from this restaurant all the time and every time I'm always left amazed as to how good it is, there's so much flavour in every curry and I will always say this is the best Indian in Salisbury! Every time I...

Great food. Staff are very abrupt bordering on rude

The food tasted good and the service was good, but the next day I had terrible stomach ache and diarrhoea. My wife was not affected, so it must have been either my chicken patia or pineapple rice. Everything else was shared.

I had the hottest curry in the Indian and really enjoyed in just a shame I couldn't finish it, apparently no-one has. Staff were very friendly and decor is typical Indian. Will definitely return.

Overpriced and mediocre. Called in here whilst visiting friends in Salisbury and was looking forward to a good curry. Despite being busy they managed to seat us at a table at the back of the restaurant which was really dark owing to the poor lighting. I don't know about you, but one of the joys of Indian food is being able to see the amazing colours. I ordered two vegetable side dishes - 'Bengali Style Dhal' and 'Mutor Panir' along with a roti. What arrived was a real disappointment - the 'Panir' was at best average and the 'Dahl' was, to be totally honest, bland to the point of being tasteless. The dishes on the menu are £2-£3 higher than those in the North West, which I don't mind paying, but come on guys, up your game. Judging by the reviews, the good people of Salisbury seem enamored with you, but your dishes are full of the usual suspects and not exciting at that. I've had the good fortune to travel around India on several occasions and it's a delight to experience the food on offer - be it street food, café, or restaurant. The staff and service are great, it's just a shame the menu and décor is stuck in the 90s. Let's have something more vibrant please.

A good quality food store. All very interesting items. Let's eat and be satisfied.

Just had a chicken madras delivered. I had Half a tub of 4 bits chicken in a VERY WATERY SAUCE. l would leave the madras alone tonight guys. Very disappointing.

I've been coming to this restaurant for at least 30 years and have tried a lot of the menu. But since the new guy has taken over I've experienced him getting upset that I order the same thing? To the extent that he makes little jibes at me when I come to collect my meal!! Because of this I will no longer come into or order any food from this establishment. And i will also advise anyone not to bother ordering or eating in the restaurant.

Shah Jahan has been my go to Indian for years, Ordered a selection of veg curries for a family get together this weekend and the only vegetable included was potato…. Potato madras, potato jalfreizi etc etc - won’t be back in a hurry…

Excellent service, wonderful cuisine, great atmosphere!! Quite simply the best Indian Restaurant in town. Don't go anywhere else for a curry. Outstanding! Just Marvellous!! 👍👍

Friendly staff, quality food, reasonably priced.

The food is delicious, my chicken is always very juicy and the sauce extremely creamy. The guys are very welcoming and helpful and even if the place is very busy, they 'll always try to accommodate you! Give it a try, you will not regret 😬

Lovely authentic India restaurant, the food was scrumptious and the staff were brilliant, we got complimentary shots at the end of the meal, and as it was my step daughter's 18th we brought a birthday cake in and they took it away and put a real fire cracker of a candle on it and presented it to her
