Shah Jehan in Peterborough

On a very quiet Monday night. Lovely food, reasonably priced. BYOD Nothing at all to complain about.

Amazing service and top quality food. Accommodated a large order for us and got nothing wrong or missing so would highly recommend 10/10

delicious! lots of different flavours, food was hot and delivered by a very friendly guy, definitely be ordering from there again.

Nice food friendly delivery man

Excellent food as always, very tasty

Food was piping hot and delicious and the delivery was excellent. Thank you

I don’t normally do reviews but I am disappointed with the food. Rice was stodgy no flavour. Chicken had no flavour and no salad with the starter. Had a few bites then when in the bin no flavour was so dry. Only thing that had flavour was nann bread

Food was amazing, delivered hot. Will only order from here in the future.

Sweet staff. Ordered lamb karai. He gave us complimentary rice. Liked the taste. Well-cooked. They have culinary magazines in waiting area. I cant help appreciate aesthetic sense of a place. So i enjoyed my time while waiting for food.

I've been ordering from Shah Jehan for a good few years now but the quality of food the past few months has gone downhill. Lamb rogan was watery and completely tasteless, the rice never had any flavour either. This has happened on two seperate occasions so unfortunately, we won't be returning customers.

Hands down the most consistently good food in Peterborough 👍👍👍👍👍

Superb as usual! Thanks guys 👌🏼

Brilliant food never had a bad meal friendly staff and I’m a very regular customer

Fantastic food and driver was very friendly.just say thanks for him

Ordered on Sunday evening. Delicious as always. Beautiful flavours, and well balanced spices. Definitely a personal favourite to order from.

Delicious curry defo will use again!

I ordered a naan bread but that wasn’t delivered.

Lovely food and piping hot! We will definitely be ordering from here again

Best take away curry we’ve had in ages. Really tasty, nice and hot.

Some of the best indian food I have eaten. Lovely friendly service. You can bring your own booze 😉

This has been my go to Indian for a while now but the last couple of times the dishes have been very watery and lacked any flavour or just far too much tomato. Don’t know if they’ve changed chef but it’s certainly not the food we used to enjoy… might be time to try somewhere else unfortunately.

Ríce not good at all and the chicken biryani was not nice at all

food was delicious, very happy with my order,very tasty. poppadoms were forgotten however they delivered separately with many apologies along with a free bottle of coke and lots of dips. will definitely order from them again 10 out of 10 ☺️

Missing one poppadom, the shaslick was delivered without the curry sauce and we got one dish we didn’t order. Bit of a mess really

This was a big order for a birthday meal. Normally this is the go-to for a curry in Peterborough, but this day everything was downhill. The coriander chicken wasn't even that lovely bright green colour, and tasted nothing like our previous orders. The lamb podina lacked in flavour and needed salt. Salt was missing in most dishes and they were very oily, which is a first for Shah Jehan. I'm not sure if there's a new chef or if the main one was off, but the quality really dropped here.

Not an Indian restaurant. No spice, tasted more like a mix of middle eastern and british cuisine. Was certainly not cooked by someone knowledgable in asian cuisine. Shocking, never had such an experience around here and especially since I followed the generally good reviews this place has. Would never order again as it was disappointing.

Been using this restaurant for takeaways for many years, can't fault the food but realised after ordering from their website that over the years they have been adding 0.50p service charge to every transaction, we let it go as we enjoy the food so much and delivery always on time, but now they are also charging to deliver even though we spend between £25-£35 each time we order, this with the 50p adds up so might have to find somewhere else for our Saturday night takeaways.

Perfect as always. Best curry in Peterborough

Food was very tasty albeit a little cold but overall very happy

Delivered early and piping hot. Food was top notch and delivery driver was really friendly and apologetic that he couldn’t find our door (most delivery drivers get lost) really great food and service will be ordering again soon

Can’t fault it; good value, good range of traditional British-style Indian dishes, really good quality food. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Handy for city centre too.

food still not received over 2 hours of waiting

Food took over 2 hours to arrive from 10 min away. App said it was with the driver then after reporting as late they added another 20 min on to expected time. Called them when it was late again to be told we are busy darling. Chicken tikka curry a bland watery slop, bhuna tastless, prawn puri strangely sweet and fries mush. The best thing was the cold boiled rice. Requested a refund before the food arrived but apparently it hadn’t come through from just eat so nothing they can do. Complete waste of time and money

Always good food, love the flavours

Usual prompt friendly delivery of great tasty food

Absolutely outstanding as usual, thank you.

First time ordering - and won’t be the last. Really good portion sizes, amazing flavours, absolutely delicious. Really lovely delivery driver too.

Food is good , service takes more time thats the only dis advantage may need to improve here

Asked for the Masala to have spice added and it was done as asked, all food delicious, delivered on time and I’d ordered 4hrs before I wanted it. Everything was amazing, hot and delicious thank you

Within minutes of dishing up I used 6 sheets of kitchen roll to soak up the water as the sauce completely seperated. Naan Bread was not like any naan bread I’ve ever had, it was like wholemeal flour. The chicken was so over cooked it was like stewed steak. Found 261 reviews majority were the same name.

Sadly the curry separated and I had a plate full of water. Chicken was like stewed steak. Onion bhaji was very good.

Great food and great service as always

Food delicious as always, delivery driver friendly and happy in his work. Literally great service from kitchen to delivery. Highly recommend

Always the best curry in Peterborough by far! Authentic dishes with good portions. Having tried lots of curry houses in the area... I don't go anywhere else now.

Food was nice, but arrived cold and driver was rude.

As always, food was amazing, been eating from here for about 20yrs and never disappointed. Best curries. Delivery driver has even been working there for so many years and remembers me by face and name always has a chat with me about the old days.

was good, but one curry spilt a bit in the bag and poppadoms were not crisp

So friendly and tasty food great value for money

Had a delivery, well worth the wait food absolutely amazing great flavours really enjoyed it, and I would definitely be ordering from there again keep up the amazing work

Food was absolutely incredible and serious value for money! Really friendly and great service, will definitely be back

I was given an approximate time and arrived earlier which was great. Actual curry not the best as sauce was quite watery. The rest of the order was great. Delivery person very friendly and polite. Thank you

Really nice flavoursome food and hot and pleasant delivery driver

The best Indian food in Peterborough. 10/10

Excellent all round . Preordered food arrived on time - very tasty

Excellent food and not over priced Service is excellent. Definitely my favourite delivery/take away

The found was outstanding - mistakenly pleaded for collection but when realised they rearranged delivery and were quick. Will definitely reorder.

Food was top tier, would highly recommend

Good quality tasty food and pleasant delivery drivers

Food was the best we have had in a long time

Fantastic food. Never got around to going into the restaurant but have the takeaway quite regularly and it's consistently great. Best Indian in Peterborough!

Cold, soggy, lacked flavour. Just very good!

Very good service, very good food,a bit early but not a problem

I am the wife Caroline of Brian. I highly recommend this restaurant/ takeaway. Fantastic food, their service is spot on and the drivers friendly. Order every Friday and their food never disappoints.

Great food, I will definitely be ordering from Shah Jehan again. Excellent quality

Been coming here for over 20 years and I absolutely love the food and the staff… wonderful atmosphere. Very clean and well worth the visit x

Really good food, the chef made us some alterations, making a dish especially for us, and it was very tasty too. Fantastic service. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend.

If you haven't tried them, give them a go,one of the best in Peterborough

We had a takeaway delivered to Bayard Plaza Apartments as visiting for a couple of days. What a lovely takeaway. The man who answered the phone was great and called when on way to meet us outside. The food was hot and tasted incredible. Definitely recommend

OMG Tandoori king prawns were huge and amazing, we had a delivery and prawns don't always travel well but these were something special, cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Always enjoy the food but tonight's food was exceptional.

Can not believe I've only just tried the food at this restaurant and wow I've been missing out, Ive certainly found the best in Peterborough by far...... Highly recommended.

We regularly order a delivery from here and the reason being, it is consistently good! It is always delivered on time by a really lovely guy. The food is tasty, good portions and good value. We’ve also eaten at the restaurant and have never been dissapointed 😊

Friendly lady on the phone took our order and read it back to confirm . Food came in about an hour which she advised of . Chicken madras, lamb biryani, seekh kebab, sag aloo and rice all nice . Samosas wernt very crispy and the nan breads wernt great either. £38 cost which isn’t bad as was plenty of food which would of probably done 4 people .

We have loved this place and it's food 4more than 25years, never ever disappoints

I was very happy with the rice. Fluffy, fresh and hot egg fried rice. Unlike most of these other places that serve stale rice. The ceylon curry was also nice; not loaded w sugar and colours. I'll be back here

The food is very tasty and Staff members also provide excellent service while being present

Nice food and very friendly staff.

For £4.50 they cut two mushrooms in half and called it pakora. They charged almost £10 for a "king prawn" korma that only had 6 tiny little prawns in a large tray of sauce that tasty like rubber. A pile of crap that ain't worth the money. They charge a lot of money for second rate food.

Almost all the Indian and Pakistani dishes were available and taste was amazing . I would definitely recommend Shah Jahan Peterborough to desi food lovers. 👍👍

Service good. Food was also nice. Good place foe small treat.

Absolutely banging,best Indian I’ve had in years,highly recommend good job 👌👍

The food is actually really nice and delivery very quick. The driver was really nice However the English women on the phone is exceptionally rude and ignorant to the point I nearly put the phone down and cancel. I passed on my complaint to the driver to tell the manager any more of it there will be no more orders. Disgusting way to talk to customers. Maybe consider getting rid of the lazy lay about and employ someone who's actually good for your business. Other than that can't fault you guys.

Good food in sensible portions. Very engaging and efficient staff. Good value. Left feeling that we'd had good food and a good experience.

We always order from here, always fabulous food and great variety all with its own distinctive flavour. Just one negative,,,they really need to upgrade the bread selection, naans very small and tough, tried a paratha instead but that was worse, greasy and burnt, come on guys don't spoil the great food by serving rubbish breads.

Beautiful food..hot and on time

Nice restaurant. Great waitress with a wicked sense of humour.

First time ordering from this restaurant as just moved to peterborough so wanted to try something new. Ordered the butter chicken, which I’ve had many times before from different places, it came and it was so spicy, like inedible. I attempted to call the restaurant, lady on the phone let me know that their medium spice is equivalent to a MADRAS and also went on to let me know there was two types on there a spicy one and a milder one, which wasn’t specified online. I was met which neither a refund or an attempt to send out the milder one, kitchen manager very rude and hung up the phone mid conversation.

The service and food was fantastic, Maggie the manager and the owner went above and beyond and even catered a dish especially for me as I wanted to try somthing new! I was not disappointed freshly cooked with delicious ingredients will absolutely use this restaurant again. Thank you.

Love our annual Peterborough Beer visit. Food is always very good as the service we receive from the lady with the Dobermans

Omg the Pineapple Curry is to die for and Malaidaar Aloo yummy 😋 😍

If I could give 6 stars I would

One of Peterborough's oldest and best Indian restaurants. The place looks a little tired but the food is superb and the waitress (Maggie) is a star. I had Hyderabadi Lamb which was a new dish to me. It didn't disappoint, lots of lamb in a rich and spicy sauce packing a powerful chilli kick. Give the Shah a try, you will be pleased you did

I have had several meals from here, delivered, because of the restrictions, (plus I can be lazy that way!), and they have always been absolutely delicious, hot and tasty. Yesterday, however, my partner and I decided to dine in the restaurant. What a delight! I had not expected such a well-laid out and comfortable restaurant. Then comes the food! WOW! We had a table full of goodness! Samosas, onion bhajis, poppadums, pulao rice and mushroom rice, chicken dhansak (Mumbai), and chicken Ambwala. All this food was absolutely first-class. (Also more than we could manage, so the Manageress boxed it up for us to take home! Dinner tonight is sorted!) There were many items on the menu that I have never experienced, surprising as I lived for over ten years about 1 mile south of Birmingham's Balti Triangle, so I'm very familiar, (or at least so I thought!) with Indian cuisine. We will definitely be visiting again, with a view to work our way through all the new, untried dishes on the menu!

Ordered from here last night for first time and wow really glad we did. Food came on time and was piping hot I mean like straight out the oven hot. Both me and the wife really enjoyed our different curries and rice, great flavour and now already looking at what to have next time. Many thanks.

The normal variety of Indian food and drink, served by good and friendly staff. Food very tasty, the staff were great. I will return next time I’m in Peterborough.

A hidden gem in Peterborough. Because of the blinds, it does look like it is closed. Don’t be fooled. Food is exceptional, and the prices are reasonable to cheap. Been there twice with my wife, and with a group of colleagues. All are impressed by the food. The host is a breath of fresh air. Knowledgeable on the dishes, and always ready with something witty. Go, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious food, delivered quickly and was really hot. Highly recommend! Tastiest curries in Peterborough 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Tasty food and quick delivery. Called directly and they were friendly and helpful.

Good place to eat. Good price and.

Was meant to be on a date, got stood up, friendly staff, had a beer at the bar while I was waiting for my takeaway, got my food home, still piping hot and delicious.

Friendly people and freshly prepared food. Always a pleasure.
