Excellent food and excellent value. Ordered by accident from here instead of another place close by with a similar name! Only realised after we looked at the pick up address and it’s closer to us! So glad we did as food was really lovely, hot, on time for collection and great portion sizes too. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

This was a great accidental find for a takeaway where I thought I was ordering elsewhere from a similarly named place. Really good quality food especially the chicken, prawns and the onion bhajis. Doesn't skimp on quantity or quality and a good 20% cheaper than most. Ordered on line, confirmed (that was when I realised my mistake), collected/ready on time and a great meal. Will return, this week probably!

We have just finished our takeaway from Shahida & it was the best we’ve had in a long time .The food was hot,tender ,flavourful & plentiful & didn’t break the bank!We were told it would be about 45 minutes,then received a phone call to say would we mind if it was earlier! Brilliant.Definitely recommending to friends & family. Well done Shahidas.

Been using Shahidas since 1998 when I moved to Bracknell. From time to time I do try alternative places but they are never as good as this place. The customer service is also exceptional and I am always recognised and made to feel welcome. The meat is always good quality and not cheap cuts like some rivals! Give them a go - you won't be disappointed.

6th time ordering from Shahidas. Superb food, my wife and son love it too. Chicken Naga was spicy! As it should be. The chicken in all dishes is tender and there is a lot of it! Great naan and the Chana masala and sag aloo are banging. Always comes in time and every delivery driving is great. And NO DELIVERY SERVICE RIP OFF prices!!! Love it…. Will be back soon.

Got a takeaway for my birthday on Sunday night. Pre - ordered for the food to be delivered at 6:15pm. When the food arrived it was all Luke warm, lots of sauce and not much meat in the lamb dishes and all of the dishes were extremely oily. Would not reorder

This is a local take away. Tried to order again on line Order was accepted but nothing was confirmed. It’s been an hour now so guess they are not interested.

Brilliant hidden gem of an Indian Takeaway. Shahidas was recommended to me by a work colleague and wow they were right. Great choice of food with excellent service, they are more than happy to describe different dishes or suggest new ones to try.

Having been brought up in West London, I have high expectations when it comes to Indian food. I’ve been ordering takeaways from Shahidas for about 2 years, and I can honestly say I’ve not had a bad experience yet. Food is always amazingly tasty, good price, and it’s consistent!! It’s always good 👍 I have tried lots of other Indian takeaways in the area, but none of them get close 🤷🏻♂️

We ordered a takeaway for delivery via shahidas website for the first time, it was really easy, it estimated 60 - 70mins and was with us within half hr! The food was fresh and hot and absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken biriyani and butter chicken which they added some more heat to as per my request which I added under notes on their site. Aswell as some accompaniments. The portions were a good size too!! Would definitely order from Shahidas again and would recommend. Thanks

Best Indian meal I've had in a long time, including restaurant meals. Chicken tikka was cooked to perfection, Chana massala is always my favourite and this was the best I've tasted. Food was ready for collection on time and piping hot.

Placed an order on line again this evening. No confirmation of collection time despite giving and asking for one. It is 2 hours later despite the order being accepted and an email confirmation being received. Very disappointing was a chance after a previous order which I was contacted about 24 hours later for delivery :( Let down again which is a shame as I hear the food is good.

This is the first and last time we have used this restaurant. We decided to get a takeaway for my mum’s 60th birthday. We had to wait over 2 hours for our food to arrive, when I phoned up (after waiting an hour and a half) to enquire, there was no explanation or any apology, I was told the food would be with us within half an hour. Half an hour passed but they would then not answer the phone. It eventually arrived and was absolutely stone cold. I’d had to make something else for my daughter to eat in the meantime as it was so late, so our family celebration meal turned in to an absolute disaster. I would never use this place again and would not recommend it.

Honestly the WORST service I've ever experienced.I called and ordered our delivery, paid using card and was then told it was be 1hour 15 minutes delivery. I said that was way too long so asked for a refund and my husband would go and collect elsewhere. I was then told they would speed it through and would be with me within an hour. Cool. An hour passes, I call and it hasn't even left yet so I tell him its not ok considering I explained I didn't want to wait that long and we could have collected. Guy had an awful attitude, telling me I was lying and he never said he would put it through any faster.. insanity! It was me that ordered! I said I felt he was super sneaky still trying to take our money instead of letting me order elsewhere obviously fully knowing I would be waiting the full time. I asked for a refund with my food given the service and he said this would be out shortly. 20 minutes later a guy shows up at the door with just my money, NO FOOD! Is this an actual joke?! We call back and he continues to lie saying he said he wasnobky sending the money out. Just ridiculous. They were so rude and patronising the entire time, just avoid at all costs. Went back to our usual Shahi and they delivered within 25 minutes! Avoid, avoid, AVOID!

We have used this take away quite a few times but feel the quality has deteriorated and will not rush to use again. I think they are too busy item was wrong we had to collect as delivery time too long however we were told 35 mins and it took 60 mins. Lot s of drivers going in and out of kitchen. Curry tasted very watered down and wrong naan bread. Chick pea dish not up to standard. This is 2nd bad meal last time we complained and they offered 20% discount but did not honour this

Shahida is not only the best curry house in Bracknell it’s the best. I’m a curry addict from Portsmouth and this place dishes up the best curry I have had in 20 years. Staff are great and friendly. Even cooked a staff biryani with chicken aloo and chilli that was amazing. Dhansak and patia to die for and banging meat samosas. Keep it up lads and see you next week.

Just had a call from this number regarding our business Energy Account charges for one of our sites, appears they are diversifying their business interests? The gentleman was in fairness very polite but considering he was "calling from the Metering Department" he appeared to know very little about our business details and showed great interest in finding out more about us.

Waited for meal for 1hr and 40mins. Phoned to see where it was, hadn’t even prepared it. Finally turned up after 2 hours and it was inedible. Phoned back to complain and I was told the manager would ring me back. No one rang. Rang the next day and the manager pretended he couldn’t hear me on the phone. I rang back immediately and the call rang and rang. I called their second number and someone else answered who said the manager had stepped out on a delivery. Appalling service and rude. No need to behave in such a disrespectful manner when the fault was theirs.

An okay delivered takeaway with warm (not hot)food. Dishes were well portioned and flavoursome however the tender lamb strips in the passanda were tough and some pieces were inedible. Chicken dishes, korma and handi and lamb pathia were tender albeit overall the amount of meat was lacking in every dish, however the prices were very reasonable and therefore a compromise has to be made

Tried this takeaway a few times, the flavours good but all the dishes we tried today were lacking in chilli. Now chilli can easily be overdone and place the meal beyond ones comfort zone but a happy medium can be reached. The pricing is a tad high compared to others. The onion bhaji's were sad and squashed and not up to scratch. But the food flavours are right.

This is the ONLY place where we have curry. Over the past 10 years we have had curries from Shahida's and they always still come out on top even when we have had curries elsewhere across the country. Unfortunately we're moving to Devon and I'm not hopeful that we'll find any where to match. Great choice, taste, service and value. All the best to the staff who work there and many thanks for some great meals. Malcolm and Susan

I have been getting my curries from Shahidas for over 15 years, and it dishes up the best Indian food in Bracknell.The chicken bhuna and chicken rezala are firm favorites! Slightly disappointing is that the lamb samosas now have a higher potato content than they used to (less meat, more filler), and curries to have more fresh tomato pieces (instead of extra meat), obviously this is cost saving, but not as good as the old days.Still, there's nothing to top it in the town.

Naan was ok...mutter paneer looked awkward and had a strange taste...tandoori chicken was only half cooked (meat on the bone had a rose-ish colour....we called to see what to do further... we were willing to return or show our dinner/ meal that it was as we were saying, but we were told just to call back the next day (that is today) and talk to the manager... and we did call today...and we were asked why we did not return the food straightaway?!?!?!?!?! and yesterday we were told something 100% different...and the guy we were talking to managed to say we were lying and twisting words in his mouth... is this a way to talk to your customers?? really??

Chanced upon this local place a couple of years ago. Very small inside. Menu is Nepalese based so is a little bit different from a standard Indian (they still do all the favourites as well).Food generally comes nice and quickly. Offers a good variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes for the whole family.

We have ordered takeaways from this Indian on several occasions and try to give it the benefit of the doubt as it is local , the food is always cold when it arrives , the Curry's are very runny and not much meat at all, very disappointing,ask for a change to be made on every occasion and they still ignore it . Will not be ordering from there again which is sad as we like to support our local shops

My husband and I went to Daruchini for an early meal, there was only one other couple in the restaurant, we ordered and our popadoms arrived which we enjoyed with all the pickles. After an hour I asked the man who appeared to be in charge where our meal was , he went to investigate and two warm plates were put on our table, the food arrived about five minutes later but the plates had got cold by then. The food was very nice and we both enjoyed our meals , asked for the bill which was put on the table and then the waiter said to pay at the bar which we did , the same man processed our credit card and never said a word about our experience, would have expected him to ask if we enjoyed our meal and to say sorry for the wait.

I actually went next door for fish and chips but they are "cash only" so I ended up ordering from J3. Chatting to the guy there, the place went under new ownership in November 2023, so very recently! I ordered crispy chilli chicken and egg fried rice. Although the dish had red chillies in it, it was not hot (in spice) at all, however it was quite a pleasant dish and a good portion size. Although it's hard to judge fairly on just one dish, I was only eating for me so there you go! I was not blown away by the meal but, conversely I ate all of it and it seemed better than the J3 (or even Forest Chinese before that) of old, which was inconsistent at best. My favourite Chinese is still easily Dragon House in Birch Hill, but the J3 seems better under new management.
