Shahib's in South Lakeland

Very good service. Not expensive. Very nice food. Had a small issue with one of the courses which as sorted out immediately with a smile and no fuss. Would come again

Despite Bowness being busy, when we got to Shahib’s at 7pm, it was quiet inside and we didn’t need to book. The waiters were polite and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, and we didn’t feel rushed. A little pricey compared to similar Indian restaurants, but that is probably due to the location in a holiday hub.

We were passing through Bowness-on-Windermere after a day of indoor activities, as the weather had not been great. We love a curry, so thought we would give this restaurant a try. It was around 7pm on a Wednesday night, and it was reasonably busy, with some larger groups too. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they had a large menu to choose from. Our food was amazing, and our son was happy with his food too. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we are in the area.

When I was but a lad, my dear mother would read me the tales of Beatrix Potter at bed time. Like all the best storytellers, she would embellish the tales with her own touches (doing the voices of course). In her version, the characters all had favourite currys that they would always choose on a night out. Squirrel Nutkins liked a chicken rezala, Mrs Tiggy-winkle had a tandoori fish sizzler, a lamb phall for Benjamin Bunny, chicken korma for Peter Rabbit (he could never handle the heat) and keema vindaloos for Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton Tail (plus a selection of mutually agreed sides and sundries). Visiting Shahib's took me back to those childhood days, with the wonderful flavours exactly like my dear mother described them, rich, spicy, succulent and utterly delicious. Thanks Shahib for the spice and the memories xxx Amen

This Indian restaurant has to be one of the tastiest, most authentic Indian meals we have had. We came to Windermere for a few days and struggled to find a takeaway that delivered. We decided to use this one and we are so glad we did, unfortunately there was a bit of a mix up with the address of our holiday home (our fault) the delivery driver was so lovely and understanding, he was great. If we come back to Windermere, this will definitely somewhere we will use again. Not tried the actual restaurant but from what we experienced as a takeaway, we would not hesitate to visit this place. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal here with delicious food. Every bit of the meal was fresh and tasty including the garlic naan bread. Plenty of meat in the main meals.

Very rarely leave bad reviews as I always try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt but I was absolutely appalled by the service and attitude in this restaurant. Came back to my hotel and read the reviews and wish I'd done so before. Unfortunately the reviews left here by people of colour are absolutely correct. I quietly sat with my party of 7 and watched the staff offer a friendly and respectful services to the Caucasians sat in the restaurant and quite frankly treat those of us with colour with sheer disrespect and attitude. Unfortunately we decided not to book a restaurant ahead of our trip to The Lakes so ended up settling for this restaurant and couldn't regret it any more. As an owner of a restaurant you'd think you'd take pride in your business and care for your paying customers but this certainly isn't the case. The service was appalling as we were told they were understaffed. However didn't have any issues accepting as many walk ins as they got. If you cannot offer a specific level of service, in respect to your paying customers you would turn people away. They are clearly all about the money so continued to seat more and more people. My husband asked if they had a baby changing facility to which the manager responded no and when asked where we could change the baby's nappy he sniggered and told us he didn't know. We waited 20mins to even be handed a menu once we were sat and waited a further 10 mins before anybody came to take our drinks order(after calling over several waiters) We'd asked for extra sauce for the table a total of 6 times before we were given it which was wasted on our now cold food. Please save your money and Abid this restaurant at all costs. I sat and watched many other parties complaining about the same things as us also because they respond back and advise it was just a one

We come here every time we visit Bowness. A wonderful restaurant with fabulous food made with top quality ingredients at great prices. Definitely a favourite and highly recommended. We eat Indian food regularly at home and this is up there as one of the finest. Lovely staff, great chatting with you all. We will be back

Absolute lack of good service . The staff were miserable , not welcoming at all. The decor was very sad . Dishes on the table that was already set were chipped ( most) so asked them to change which was done reluctantly and with an attitude that I was wrong. The food was average. Was on holiday and late for dinner and as most places close early on weekdays we didn’t have a choice but to eat here . Would not recommend this restaurant at all.

Came here a week ago when we went to visit Windermere in the Lake District with my family and i have to say it was a horrible experience visiting this restaurant. The food was bang average, and by the way Bangladeshi food is not Indian food and this place showed that. They really don't have a clue when it comes to cooking Indian food and the dishes were average and had no flavour at all. The staff were totally miserable, they were not smiling and looked like they did not want to be there at all. Going to this restaurant was a horrible experience and I have to say one that I would recommend people not to go to for sure.

Warm welcome by all the staff team. Food came very swiftly after ordering and was piping hot. Really enjoyed the starter of Sheek kebab, that had a nice spicy kick. Followed by a chicken balti, that had lots of lovely layers of flavour and spice. The Naan was the nicest and lightest I’ve had, and went down a treat.

This was a great find. We have had Indian from London to Copenhagen to Florida, USA. This Lamb Rogan Josh was the best I’ve ever had. The service and ambiance were both great.

We went to have Indian meal . We were told that the kitchen is under pressure whereas there were only 4 tables where people were dinning in . There might be bookings but they could have informed us that we have to wait 10-15 min etc but they said they can’t serve . we had to order domino’s . After 10min my family member went again and they were able to accommodate . How that is possible.

Fantastic Indian restaurant. King prawn masala was awesome. Went when England were playing in the euros so it was quiet for a Sunday evening. Fantastic 😂

Great service one of the best Indian foods we have ever had! Great service and friendly staff we will definitely return here next time we are in Bowness

Fantastic meal great staff what more do you want it shocked us for a holiday place definitely going back they could do with opening one in Liverpool

My wife and I visited here to celebrate her 40th Birthday and the staff did all that they could to make it a special evening.From the moment we walked through the door the staff looked after us. They were friendly, polite and made sure every detail was just right. They answered questions about the various dishes in an informed manner.The food arrived promptly and only enhanced our experience, each dish was extremely tasty and the spices were balanced perfectly.As this was a special occasion, the staff brought us a complimentary glass of fizz to add to an already perfect evening.It was our first time experiencing the hospitality at Shahib's, when we are next in The Lakes, I know we'll be heading back.Given the current extra pressures on restaurants to support track and trace and play their part in fighting COVID-19, the team gave due diligence in following all guidelines.Thanks to the team at Shabib's!

We decided on booking the set menu for two for my fortieth birthday here, and wow we weren’t disappointed!!The staff were welcoming and attentive at first arrival and throughout, and we felt totally safe with their fantastic COVID safe practice!The staff made my birthday so special and made sure we had everything we needed.They came over and took our order before two complimentary glasses of fizz with strawberries were brought over to our table making a really warm welcome and a nice start to our evening.Each course of our food came promptly and we were told to go at our own pace... which we needed, as the food was so plenty, and absolutely delicious!We enjoyed ourselves immensely and the dedicated staff are so thorough and professional.We can’t wait to return next time we’re in the Lakes, and we wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to others.

We booked a table for Saturday evening. From the minute we arrived the staff couldn't do enough for us. The menu has such a huge choice, the food is superb and the service was just fantastic. If you have chance to try this restaurant you have too!

As a walk in we were lucky to get a table in this popular restaurant and we were glad we did. The food was excellent as was the service. We had a vindaloo with a naan and rice which arrived promptly and fresh. Highly recommended if your passing.

Visited the restaurant for a takeaway twice Mon 14 and Tue 15th June 2021 and have to say that’s the best curry house I have visited in the Lake District. Ordered hot Kadhai lamb, and boy we were not disappointed.Chilli chicken also had great flavours and both the dishes more than exceeded expectations.So if you are looking for hot tasty dishes then this is the place to go.Unable to comment on service as we ordered a takeaway, which was always ready at the stated time despite restaurant being full.

Had checked this restaurant out on Tripadvisor before our short break to the Lakes and thought i'd give it a try ,I was not disappointed the food was absolutely amazing . We had chicken tikka massala and garlic chicken tikka bhuna with chips ...egg pilau rice and a garlic naan . Not the easiest place to find down an arcade but worth the time to find it. Staff were excellent nothing too much trouble. Really if your in Bowness give it a try.

Great food, one of the best Indians I've had. Good to see some different menu options alongside all the classics. Glad we booked as was busy for a quiet Thursday evening. We will be back!

We booked here following lockdown and the food was really good. Lot of choice for starters and mains.Service good also. Would definitely recommend oend.

What can I say about Shahibs, it was just outstanding from the moment we walked through the doors. The staff are absolutely amazing, nothing to much trouble for them, and happy to offer advice on choices of starters/mains. Both our starters were superb followed by an excellent mains, wife isn’t a spicy food lover so they served her a very mild korma my Lamb Tikka Bhuna was to die for, the keema rice was lovely as was the very large naan. On paying our bill, the waiters were making talk (very friendly) asking where we had traveled from, was it a special occasion etc, my wife mentioned it was my birthday yesterday and we’d taken a couple of days away. Next minute 2 Baileys over ice appeared with the “enjoy these on us” what a set of guys. If you’re ever in Bowness & don’t eat here, it’s your loss. The best place we’ve eaten in for a long time

From start to finish the service was excellent as was our food. We had a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend .

Called in on the off chance and managed to get a table for four. One of the best Indians I’ve had, service was simply superb, waiters really great guys. Highly recommend

Visited Shahibs with my husband. Staff were friendly, and the chutney tray dips were very nice. We particularly enjoyed the balti tikka saag curry and the naan bread was excellent. Would recommend.

3rd visit to this excellent restaurant, every visit the food, atmosphere and service has been fantastic. Would highly recommend it

Really good food, really quick and friendly service. Cannot complain, would highly recommend visiting if you're in the area and would like Indian Cuisine!

Lovely meal. Lots of choices on menu. I had a special dinner which was well cooked and very tasty , not too spicy. Staff friendly and efficient . Well worth a visit.

Great food a large menu- plenty of choice for vegetarians. Lovely staff -friendly and attentive service. Recommended

Great food, my type of atmosphere. Family and friends having good times. Thanks for the good eats and good vibes. Mixed grill met expectations and surpassed with daal

Lovely food, lots of choice for vegetarians, great authentic atmosphere and the staff were wonderful. Lovely personal touches!

We chose this restaurant on trip advisor reviews and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The food and service was excellent, no complaints from us whatsoever. We would definitely eat here again if back in the area.

Please wear your masks over your nose. Now I’ve got that out of the way - we had great service and delicious food. We’d go again in the hope that the staff showed respect by wearing their masks properly. Some did. Some didn’t. Truly delicious food with flexible and friendly serviceThank you.

Best Indian food in bowness by far,Great flavours,Great guys very welcoming,Jac is great at is job in making your experience feel comfortable,Taking the time out to accommodate your every need and that special friendly touch money can’t by,Cheers guys all the best for the rest of the season.

Amazing food, outstanding customer service. The best Indian food we have had, the meat was cooked to perfection and the spices etc compliment the food incredibly well. The staff we’re so polite and friendly. We had the tandoori mixed kebab with chicken sheik for starters and all I can say is wow!! You must try it. I Would highly recommend and were looking forward to returning.

We first visited last August when we had a short stay in Bowness-on-Windermere and what a great find. Staying at Grange Over Sands this time for a family celebration we couldn’t miss the opportunity of one of the best meals around. The Palak Chuza is definitely recommendable. I had this on our first visit and opted to have it again and what a good choice it was. Everyone committed how tasty their meals had been. It was well worth the drive over. Highly recommendable to visit.

Very hospitable staff. Food was very well made and very tasty. They gave us a table last minute when the kitchen was about to close and yet served us some very appetizing, delicious food.

Don’t be put off by the outside of this restaurant which is over the shopping arcade. Once inside the staff are friendly courteous and their service is very good. The food is fantastic and you are spoilt for choice with a large menu. We was a table of 6 and it was organised that all our food came out together. They looked after us very well and made our evening very enjoyable. Make sure you book in advance as it is very busy and if we lived locally we would eat here regularly. Thanks for a great evening.

Didnt book but front of house found us a table. Busy , good atmosphere, and superb service and food. The best Indian ive eaten in Bowness. Thankyou for a really enjoyable meal. Definitely return

We called Sahib restaurant for a table and we’re going to reach after the kitchen closing time. Sahib’s staff was very empathetic and asked us to order over the phone and would keep the food ready by the time we reach. Very empathetic thinking.. despite being full and busy they were more than happy to make that extra effort. Food was great which was just perfect icing on the cake.

Excellent meal here, walked in at 8:30 and they were able to accommodate a table of 3. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, particularly the special palak chuza.

What can I say! Ticked all the boxes tonight. Fantastic service throughout and the food was one of the best I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend.

Food is excellent, normally opt for the Jenny’s Special which is great. Ordered throughout lockdown, as well as sitting in last week. Was great! Service very friendly too, highly recommend.

Mid week call in- greeted & served my some miserable guy with o manners who was sniffling and then blew his nose & proceeded to push a food trolley along. (He was about a yard from sanitising station). Starters were average. Main courses & chappattis were really nice. The evening was rescued by one of the family who runs the place who was apologetic over aforementioned waiter & offered complementaries. Would revisited but get rid of the miserable sniffly guy.

Absolutely gorgeous food . Service very efficient and nice atmosphere. Definitely will be returning. The best curry ever

Fantastic food, best indian meal I've ever had. Their peshwari nan was to die for. Will definitely be back when next in the area.

We visited here as a group of 6 celebrating my husbands 40th birthday. He has been here before a few years ago but for 3 of us it was our first time.We ordered a variety of starters & mains ... all of the food was absolutely incredible, tasty, portions are great, so much flavour and quality. The atmosphere is fantastic, nice and airy, bright with a great ambiance. The staff make this place ... so friendly, nothing is too much trouble and service is spot on!Thankyou for making our stay, we will definitely be returning on our next trip, no doubt!

Good Indian food, a tad bit oily for our comfort but one of the few places we could walk in and find a slot.

We went for a family meal and it was a very nice experience overall. The food was of the highest quality and the service was friendly and polite. The price was good for the quality. I would highly recommend.

My husband and I decided the night before we would go to the lakes to just do something different. We hadn't booked any restaurants in advance, so had left it to chance. We stumbled on Shahib's and we are so glad we did. They welcomed us in even without a booking after checking with the manager. Just in time it seemed, as it started to get really busy soon after. The starters and main were really really good and one of the best we have had for a long time. Compliments to the chef (s) for the quality and taste, it was lovely without exception. The nice atmosphere, friendly waiters, and the Manager proactively engaging with all of his customers made the whole evening really pleasant. We heard people making very positive compliments whilst we were there and we fully concur. If you are lucky enough to go to the Lakes, we would thoroughly recommend this restaurant if you like quality Indian food. We will definitely rebook on our next visit. A big thank you from us.

Booked last minute, managed to fit us in, Lovely food, top service, great food! Lamb Chilli Masala tip top Cheers

Excellent food, fresh and prepared with care. Full of taste. Highly recommended. Attentive staff and great service.

I was on a weekend break with my husband and four other family members. We all love Indian food therefore I booked Shahib's for the Sunday night.The service and food was faultless. I've been to a few other Indian restaurants in the town and in my opinion Shahib's is most certainly the best one I have tried.We were all impressed with our food (too many dishes to list) and were absolutely delighted when the manager kindly gifted us a bottle of prosecco as we were celebrating my husband's birthday.Thank you so much Shahib's. We will most definitely be returning on our next visit to Bowness.

Real quality food and very tasty would highly recommend One of the best Indian I’ve eaten Shane we can’t eat here every week as not from the area

We had a great meal, I can most definitely recommend the Sri Lanken slow cooked lamb, excellent. We will be back.

My wife and I had a takeaway from here whilst on holiday in the area. We struggled with the food, we both like smoked paprika and appreciate that it does have a place in Indian and Bangladeshi food, but it was the dominant flavour in everything, even the mango chutney had it in. We would also comment that the spices in the dishes we ordered tasted raw/not cooked out and the onion in particular was crunchy and nowhere near cooked. Unfortunately most of our food ended up in the bin. Needless to say we would not recommend.

We had booked an Italian nearby but were let down on a table not being ready and being asked to wait in the street for 15 minutes, despite the booking being made months beforehand. I rang Shahibs and they said come on round in 30 minutes. We did just that and got seated in a lovely table in the corner, staff were so welcoming and service was first class. Food excellent, great size portions, everything on the menu one would expect plus some more unusual dishes. It really made a start of a disappointing evening into a really enjoyable one.

Just a nice Indian restaurant. All the staff were friendly, polite, attentive. Accommodating with the kids for smaller portions. Everything was quick but not rushed. Everything seemed clean. All the food was extremely tasty, hot and fresh. Can't fault the place. Will definitely return.

Found this place on TripAdvisor so booked a table as we were in town for a few days.I had the mix kebab, mix karahi my wife had Onion bhaji to start and chicken tikka masala for main, all very nice and tasty.The Manager and the young lad waiting tables were very friendly.

Just left Shahibs on a high,great food! You can taste every ingredient, so fresh, so tasty, every dish so individual and distinct.Staff are very warm and attentive and the owner is so kind and appreciative,there was a birthday on the table of 6 next to us and he wished them a happy birthday with a free bottle of bubbly.This is a family run restaurant that knows their stuff,5 stars from us and 100% recommended.Incredible food, absolutely delicious,will definitely return.

Could not fault this restaurant at all, food was amazing and tasty. I ordered the Lamb Biriani, the lamb was so tender and it was so tasty. My partner ordered the lamb Karaih and it did not dissappoint. We did not have a reservation and they managed to squeeze us in. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent restaurant the staff are so pleasant and attentive nothing is a problem we were there for my wife's 60th, the meal was second to none we have been to a lot of Indian restaurants and this one takes some beating if you are in windermere give it a try you won't be disappointed 10 out of 10...

Shahib’s is an excellent little curry house and the staff really tried to make it a good experience. They even gave us a complimentary glass of prosecco as we told them it was our anniversary. Food was really nice, both the mains were different to what we had both tried previously in Sheffield. I had the Jenny’s Special which was recommended and didn’t disappoint. We will definitely return when we come back to the Lakes.

This is our 3rd visit and the food gets better everytime. Nothing is to much trouble and the prawns are amazing thoroughly enjoyed every minute

Every-time we come to Bowness, we have to come here for food, we’ve been several times over the years and it just keeps getting better. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave you are treat amazingly. The food is outstanding, we had Chicken tikka masala & lamb tikka masala with plain pilau rice, cheese & keema naan (photos below, they were in silver platers before they hit our plates ) & bottle of red. We didn’t want a stater this time as we wanted to make sure we could eat our main, (we normally get seekh kebab) but we were given complimentary poppadoms and dips, lovely & fresh & not too filling, as i still ate all my main. We were also given a complimentary glass of Prosecco each & sambuca as it was also birthday celebrations for my partner. The staff here are truly amazing & attentive, nothing is any bother to them. Covid guidelines followed too ☺️

It was lovely to visit bowness, it was our first time at shahibs, we was welcomed by the staff, very helpful, food was lovely, we got a glass of complimentary fizz with a warm welcome. Nothing was to much. We would recommend & will dine again.

Been a few times but just seems like the food always gets better and better, would highly recommend the Palace gosht (sorry for the spelling)

Ordered food to be delivered. 10/10 Excellent quality and portions. Good timing and communication too. 100% recommend. Price good.

This is a must while in the Windermere area.We had Vindaloo and Rogan Josh both of which were packed with flavour, great consistency and heat just right. Found a new favourite in Zeera Pilau Rice. Delivery service was spot on.Will definitely use again when in the area.

We had Shahib's for our last night staying in Bowness. We had been trying our best to enjoy outdoor dining during covid but on our last night just wanted to stay in and be warm. Luckily, Shahibs delivers! The food was definitely on the "great" end of the Indian-takeaway spectrum. Every element was really flavourful and the spice level perfect for what we like - some nice heat where you'd expect it! Even down to the side of onion pilau rice which could have been a tasty dish on its own (like a biryani), not your standard plain rice. Great service too, friendly and accommodating, didnt charge a delivery fee due to our location AND threw in some poppadoms for free! Definitely worth the slightly higher price than your home local takeaway.

Let me start by firstly stating this probably isn’t the worst Indian restaurant, however, there is certainly better. Their Tandoori Chicken Tikka Massala was very good, along with the Bombay Aloo. The Keema rice was decently good also, although nothing to write home about. Whilst the butter chicken is not expected to be the most flavoursome of dishes, a little taste would have sufficed. The sauce was bland and chicken was average, again - not too much of a problem. The problem for us lies in the side dishes, stay well clear. The Chicken Pakora was incredibly dry and sadly inedible, whilst the chicken inside was minuscule the “batter” was spicier than expected, although not necessarily a bad thing if you like spicy Pakora. Onion Bhajis had been drowned in oil and had retained most of the oil, not very crispy at all and generally below average. The poppadoms were clearly shop bought - not a problem, although a little boring! The mango chutney to accompany was reasonably good, although, the mint yoghurt contained very little mint and more coriander. Whilst the restaurant has very good ratings on the whole, which may be accurate, our experience fell below average on this occasion. Perhaps dining in the restaurant gives a better experience than taking away, regardless, the food was not worthy of a higher rating in our opinion. Disappointing because we had researched for hours beforehand on which Indian to buy based on Tripadvisor ratings and our opinion clearly doesn’t align with the rest of the general public!!

Aphrodite’s hotel had local takeouts on there website so we decided on an Indian. Completely recommend we had a prawn Dish and a lamb dish that we asked could they recommend a medium spiced dish they did so and was probably the best I’ve ever tasted the NaN was the softest I’ve ever had and boiling hot which was great as I like having hot food. I couldn’t fault anything it was fantastic thank you wish you were back home to use. They said around 30 minutes and arrived exactly 30 minutes couldn’t fault! Thank you

Food was delivered on time with very friendly service. The food was superb; we really enjoyed it. We were visitors to the Lakes and picked it at random but were not disappointed. Will use again when we visit again, or maybe eat in next time.

We ordered a takeaway to our apartment and it was delivered straight on the time we had asked for. Food was delicious, as good as being in the Restaurant. Would definitely recommend, best Indian in town! Can't wait to visit the restaurant when they re-open! In the mean time...order takeaway guys!!!!

Had an excellent meal for 4 last night. Everybody had something different but all commented on how nice the meal was.

Have ordered a few takeaways from here now and not changed since. Exceptional curry and sides. You're go to curry house if you're staying in and around the Windermere/Bowness area!

Visited Shahibs during October, and were treated to a fantastic meal. The staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. Next time I'm back in Bowness, I will be visiting again without question.

Just had a wonderfully amazing chicken tikka vindaloo delivered by the guys at Shahibs Great service through Facebook delivered piping hot and fresh, friendly and personal 10/10 Support you’re local and give it a go, I’ll be same time next week ❤️🌶

I grew up in Bowness, and have eaten in the restaurant and had takeaways more times than I can count over the years. I now live near Hawkshead and still would not use any other Indian. The food is always first class, as is the service. You can tell by the flavour and quality that traditional recipes and methods are used, rather than cheaper imitations. You will not have a bad meal here. I never have.

Food was really tasty - well cooked chicken, and a great vegetarian curry. Service was excellent - very friendly.

First ever visit enjoyed the atmosphere food was brilliant definitely would go again. Starters and mains were amazing. Had a wonderful time. Thank you guys

Visited with my wife just before the lockdown, fantastic experience!! We ordered the special kebab and chicken pakoras as starters, perfectly spiced and tender! For main courses we ordered the tandoori mix grill and the balti chingri, amazing and succulent pieces of king prawns, an absolute flavour bomb! Excellent service also! Thank you for looking after us!! Will be back!!!

Food was delicious, all staff were really accommodating. Would definitely recommend and cannot wait to come back.

Brilliant! food was absolutely delicious, the Shahib team put so much effort into our night. Christmas Day! We are now back again in a few days! please support this wonderful restaurant, We WILL, Linda & dino x

My partner & I seen this restaurant & it instantly attracted us as we like a homely and traditional look & feel. We was greeted with a smile on arrival & led to our table with a lovely window seat. The music was authentic and provided a lovely and welcoming atmosphere too. The service was fast (just what you need after a cold walk around the lake) and the staff were very attentive and pleasant. The food exceeded all expectations and was honestly just spot on. Would definitely recommend and return. Good value for money. All in all no complaints and very happy customers!

Lovely atmosphere, v good food. We are a family of 5, ordered different dishes and no complaints from any of us! Thank you, a welcome break from Christmas food. Best wishes to all of you 🎄

Lovely Indian restaurant in the centre of Bowness. Sadly very quiet due to Bowness being dead but highly recommend this little place. The classics are on there but there are also lots of unique curries I hadn’t come across before so we had something different, lovely food.

Me and my partner went while we were staying in Bowness. Amazing customer service, very tasty food and very good value for money. Great atmosphere and all covid regulation adhered too! Great evening.

Had such a lovely evening with the Mrs, The staff was welcoming and the food was honestly delicious I would recommend to anyone who’s feeling a tasty Indian to try this place out.

We came for an evening meal and were not disappointed. The menu is extensive with traditional favourites and house specials. Everything we had was absolutely excellent, super tasty with high quality ingredients. The service is very good and the ambience is lovely, and we will definitely eat here again.

First time coming and customer service and food was amazing! Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend dining in for any occasion!!!

We have come back to this beautiful restaurant again to enjoy our night out with my girlfriend . we are loyal customers we come to this place quit a lot. The restaurant is looking really nice and I love the christmas decorations that’s been put up and it’s well organised it also gives it a warm welcome when you enter the restaurant and sit down on your table. Really nicely done. The food is delicious at this place all nice and fresh and good portion size as well the staff are very friendly and helpful and good listeners and give you exactly what you ask for. The food arrived on time as well didn’t have to wait for so long. Everyone followed the Covid rules that made us feel safe and comfortable. I hope to see you soon

First time here lovely staff and great food would recommend it will be back in spring and will definitely be going again

Came for a meal here with my family. We were greeted and seated by a lovely man who looked after us throughout our time here. Food was fresh and tasted lovely. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone visiting the local area!

Thank you for a wonderful meal last night. I was travelling through Windermere on business and made a great choice when I chose to eat at Shahibs. The service was excellent from the second we walked through the door, all of the staff very friendly and attentive. Good curry is one of my favourite things and the curry here is absolutely superb! The Lamb Balti was the best I’ve had, as was the Chilli Naan bread. From a Covid perspective...again, absolutely spot on. Keep doing what you are, there is no room for improvement. I will look forward to coming back in the future with family and friends.

Really enjoyed our meal here.. I had lamb tikka jalfrezi which was very hot but delicious and my girlfriend loved her chicken tikka dhansak. Nice big portions so we took home a doggy bag. Staff were very sweet as well. Would definitely come again.

Visited earlier this week. Fantastic food, excellent service, reasonable, spotless. Had a really nice meal.
