Shajan in Ribble Valley

I didn't dine in so this review is about a takeaway. Odd times I like to treat myself and I've been to the Shajan restaurant since the very early days when it was little more than a bungalow with my late wife. So being of an age where sometimes things are difficult I decided on a takeaway and ordered a takeaway I have had before, Lamb Sal Boti. When i got it home it looked awful and when I tasted it, it was. Half of it went in the bin, the sauce was watery and there was one large chunk of lamb in the middle plus other smaller lumps. After years of dining and takeaways at the Shajan will I go again? It will take a long time to think about it.

Lovely food overall, bit of shell found in the prawn dish . service could be better . Reasonably priced. Plenty of parking

Perfect indian restaurant. The food, service and ambiance just right. We will definitely return sometime soon. Best to book though. It is so popular people travel for miles to eat there.

Heerlijke curry’s gegeten hier. Mooie locatie, en een mooi restaurant van binnen. Bediening was vriendelijk en goed. Goede parkeergelegenheid.

My family and I come here all the time and we love it so much! Staff are attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious. I usually stick to butter chicken, but maybe someday I’ll branch out! I especially love the generous portion of poppadoms and dips that they bring out. Can’t wait to come here again!

Went as a party of four first timers . Great atmosphere and quick service with Kingfisher / cobra / madri on draught . Very busy but we were seated quickly . I ordered the chicken pathia which was average but our friends orders of Chicken saag, chicken shahee were lovely . Bhaji and sheesh kebab starters were fine but not the best I have ever had . We will return and next time have poppudoms as a starter as they looked nice . All in all a nice place .

Absolutely delicious value for money food! Menu is not huge but I expect that enables them to maintain high quality. South Indian green curry was my choice and absolutely fab! Look forward to going again!

We were staying locally and wanted a takeaway We ordered a chicken madras, chicken dopiaza, naan and roti’s The chicken madras was perfectly fiery hot. My chicken dopiaza had a good kick to it too. Roti’s were a little dense & on the heavy side but it was an exceptionally good takeaway

Awful food, even worse customer service! Just finished a meal here with my husband and the staff spoke only to my husband for the whole meal to take orders, very strange! The food was bland and inauthentic and the service was absolutely appalling with rude staff who blank customers. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this place!

We all enjoyed our various meals very much.They prepared a vegan meal for our granddaughter which looked delicious.The service was attentive and cheerful and my husband whose birthday it was ,enjoyed being called grandad .We will be going again. Thankyou for a very happy evening.

We arrived on a Friday night without a reservation and there was no trouble seating us. Drinks were brought over quickly, a long with chutneys and popadums. The chutney tray was not the best but alright. For starters we had chicken chat puri and they were okay. Didn't come with any salad which typically comes with Indian starters and was a little dry. For mains we had a pilau rice, peshwari naan, chicken shahi and lamb Balti. Both curry's had good quality meat, it was really tender. The flavours of the curries were unexpected and not close to shahis and baltis we have had at other restaurants. The Balti had a strong flavour of red peppers and was sweet and spicy. The shahi was heavy on the cumin and wasn't pleasant. The rice was awful, it tasted very sweet and of ghee. The we didn't touch it. The naan bread was soggy and even though it was full of coconut it had no flavour. It was closer to a supermarket naan bread that any I have ever been served at an Indian restaurant. The restaurant was clean and the service was quick, hence why it gets 2/5 otherwise it would have been 1/5.

Food was ok. Nothing special. The main issue was the service and the waiters. On arriving there was no welcome, hello, nice to see you etc, just a grunt and told to go to the bar to await the rest of our party. In the bar, nowhere to sit , no one takes your order or hands out menus. Eventually managed to bag a seat. Again no one asks if everyone here, do you want a drink, are you ready to order, zilch, nothing! We are then taken to our table , no menus on table, told the waiter we hadn’t even ordered yet! A young lad then stands at the opposite end of the table from where I was sat and was apparently asking if we wanted poppadoms, unfortunately the restaurant was so loud I’d no idea what he was saying. Someone just ordered one each! Our orders were eventually taken and on arrival the waiter again stood at one end of the table yelling what each course was and either throwing it in front of the customer or launching it into the middle of table, again we all struggled to hear what he was saying and he just seemed to get more and more angry! My curry was going cold on arrival with the oil separating from the sauce. On leaving we all said a cheery goodbye to be grunted at again. We will not be returning!

Second visit after a poor experience a few years ago. Food was too salty and the chapatis were dreadful. Over rated food factory, there are far better places to eat and I won’t be returning in a hurry.

We have been coming here for years and have always had great food. Regularly get takeaways even though it’s a 20 mile round trip, however we absolutely won’t be recommending this place to anyone ever again! We had pre booked a table and when we got there the table was not ready so were shown to the bar area. The owner (older male) came to take our order around 15 minutes later from the bar area, to which we questioned why we can’t order at our table. He turned hostile and proceeded to tell us he had been working there for 31 years and he knows what he’s doing. His tone was condescending and we felt quite embarrassed. We asked for a little more time to order to which he accepted, but this earlier altercation left us feeling very uncomfortable and embarrassed so we quietly got up and left. The male chased us out of the restaurant telling us never to come back again. Whilst sat in the bar area, I overheard the way he was talking to other staff members and again it was rude, abrupt and supercilious.

We have been coming to this restaurant for years and unfortunately tonight is the last time we'll be visiting. Food was very tasty, as always. Service was on point. I ordered the same dish as I always do, tandoori mixed grill which the sizzler it comes out on is usually full, this time there was noticeably less, one piece of lamb, half the normal size of sheesh kebab and a very sorry piece of tandoori chicken. I ate the lot and normally I'd have leftovers to take home that I enjoy for dinner the next day. When I was finished and asked how our meal was, I explained it was delicious but a little sparse compared to the usual to be met with hostility from the owner, the older guy not his son may I add, in fact he was damn right rude! He said that all the chicken is the same size several times in a flustered manner and walked off. After sitting and finishing our drinks, I tried to speak to him again and told him i thought he was very rude and told him unfortunately i won't be coming to his restaurant again and he replied with "OK" Normally he's a polite chap but thus time he most certainly wasn't and unfortunately I won't be returning.

Shajan Indian Restaurant. Longsight Road, (A59) Clayton le Dale, Blackburn BB1 9EX Tel: 01254 813234 Date of visit 4th February 2024. I last visited this 210-seat establishment which can be found on the A59 between the M6 at Preston and Blackburn, over twenty years ago, and other than to remember that it was OK, I can’t remember much more and to say that it has been in existence for over thirty years, is testament to its attitude to good food and service. I must report that once again I have been thoroughly spoilt. With over twenty staff at front of house, and I’m reliably informed at least fifteen in the kitchen, rest assured you are well looked after. It was shortly after it opened on a Sunday afternoon when I arrived, and the place was filling up even then! The Shajan ticked a lot of boxes, there is a big car park, it is modern, clean comfortable and spacious. They take card or cash! They serve alcohol, they smile and chat to customers! Service is slick and attentive. The food is out there, or at least what I sampled ticked all the boxes. It was obvious that many of the customers this afternoon were regulars and on first name terms! I sampled the Poppadom’s with a very generous six portion pickle tray. Next up was a perfectly spiced sheesh Kebab, piping hot with a delicious salad and dip. This was followed by their recommendation, Chicken Banjara, cooked to madras strength , the flavour reminded me very much of the Satkorha Ghost that I enjoyed at the Morecambe Tandoori recently. A rich hot and sour flavoured dish, I tried to obtain the recipe to this dish but was told that ALL the recipes here are top secret, even the floor staff are not informed! This was accompanied with a tasty dish of light and fluffy Pilau basmati Rice and of course it would not be complete without a Peshwari naan. I have had better Peshwari naans to be honest. Now the piece de resistance was after the table was cleared the waiter came over and asked if I wanted a desert, after what I had just devoured, I declined but he then turned over the dessert menu and asked if I fancied a coffee? Which are listed on the back, I pondered for a minute and decided that I would have a Galic Coffee! Now that little trick gained his restaurant an extra six pounds to the bill. Now imagine if they all performed that little trick at every table and it might go a long way in understanding why this restaurant has stood on this site for over thirty years. It turned out that the waiter who’s name I did not obtain, is the nephew of Ali (Tops) owner of the Bangla Fusion in Much Hoole, Preston that was. (now Nellie the Elephant) But he knew everyone in the trade. A thoroughly nice lad with a sense of humour. So, as I said, this place ticked a lot of boxes not the cheapest in the world but come on, if you want service like this you must dip in to those pockets. It is for that reason it has been awarded 9.5/10 from me. I would recommend this restaurant.

Disappointed. This was our first visit here with friends, who come regularly. They even asked at the end of the meal was it a new chef as they order the same dish every time and this time they were not the same. The service and atmosphere is very good, but the food left a lot to be desired. I had the mixed starter it came out cold the seek kebab was like rubber and the Samosa was just soaked in oil and grease. The main courses came my wife ordered the half tandoori chicken with a sauce (£18) it came out with 2 legs, the waiter asked how the food was. I explained we did not get half a chicken, but 2 legs he apologised and asked if I wanted a breast to take home. Our friends main dish was very watery and they gave them the same dish to take home. I then went to pay, I again explained that the main course was not way I ordered and showed him the picture. He basically said well you wife ate it. Not good attitude. So unfortunately will not be going again. We may have just been unlucky, but at £130 we will not be taking the chance again.

Our first visit to Shajan, excellent food, friendly happy staff and great service. Even though if was extremely busy the service was very efficient but did not feel we were being rushed. Highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff.

great Indian restaurant, staff very friendly and efficient, great food and reasonably priced, we got Shajan recommended to us and we weren't disappointed thank you to all the staff

Wow what an amazing place . We decided to go early so booked a table for 18h30, only to find on arrival that the place was absolutely heaving-and it didn’t take long to see why! Superb food - it had been a while since we had had a curry in the UK - and it did not disappoint! The onion bhaji and veg samosa starters were delicious as were our main courses- but the peshwari naan was rather dry - should have stuck with the plain one - our neighbours on the next table had one which looked delicious. Our only slight criticism was that we felt rather rushed as we were out within 1hr 15mins, and back in our rented accommodation by 8pm! Mais sauf que ça- un très bien finaledes vacances en Angleterre. Merci beaucoup

Excellent as always. The best Indian around, we travel 10 miles to get here and it never desapoints. Even my 7 year olds favourite place to go

This was the first time we decided to have a family meal out on Christmas Day. We all like Indian food so, why not ? It was far cheaper than what you’d pay at a pub or English restaurant. It was absolutely packed when we got there, difficult to park in the large car park, a good sign that it’s very popular. We had booked so a nice welcome and asked to get drinks by the bar whilst they sorted our table out. After a short wait we were shown to our table, weaving through the many many customers. Although very busy we had a nice table with enough room around us. The owner was great, he explained the Christmas meal option, simply anything you like ! Any starter, any main, any rice, any sides, any naan, any dessert and coffee. You could have several sides if required. The staff were fantastic, very pleasant, very efficient and prompt service. The food was excellent and plentiful, all in the family were well satisfied with their various dishes. A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Day dinner, will definitely do it again.

The food was amazing great atmosphere wonderful service I would fully recommend this restaurant the staff were very helpful and very friendly

Authentic, tasty food with great service. We have visited many times for takeaways and also sat in. But this visit just seemed a little more on point with service. Always been very good. But the staff where all so friendly and on the ball. Really impressed. Other comments have been it’s been a rushed service and I can see how that comes across. But I disagree, the staff are just very on the ball and keen to do their job. If you wanted a break in-between courses you can just ask. Food was perfect as ever ! The best Indian restaurant in the area by far.

Have been to Shajan many times over last 20 years or so however I haven’t been for a quite a few years . We visited yesterday and the food was as good as always . Good quality and very tasty what I didn’t like and haven’t experienced before on my previous visits is the very rushed service . There was lots of staff working , they were very on the ball but not in a nice way . They were hanging around ready to pounce as soon as you put your cutlery down . Made us feel uncomfortable and ruined the experience. It has put me off going back there which is a shame as the food is really good . The service is probably to efficient but I personally feel it’s not effective

Food quite nice but we felt service rushed as though they wanted customers in and out as fast as possible very impersonal waiting staff tantamount to being robots but friendly enough we would not recommend sadly if you want a rushed fast food experience then you would like it here but not for us

Quality food But ..Awful impersonal , massively too robotically quick table service Tantamount to bring overseen whilst eating in a prison canteen What a shame Add some warm , friendliness , relaxing service to the very nice food and you’d have a vastly better evening out . It’s busy anyway , so no doubt it matters not what clients say . Or they’d listen and change it !!!

I’ve been going to this restaurant for a while now and food is always fantastic ! Thing have changed for me recently having been diagnosed with gastritis, I can’t eat Tomatoes, Onions, Red Meat , Spices or any thing remotely acidic ! As you can imagine it’s a Indian food lovers nightmare, so when my son said he wanted to go to the Shajan for his Birthday I had visions of me eating nothing other than a bowl of boiled rice, I decided to call them and see if they served anything that I could eat, they listened to my dilemma and offered to make me something special off menu ! The night came and I was presented with a delicious chicken and potato dish that they had prepared overnight for me and that I never dreamed I could have, no side effects at all. Absolutely brilliant customer service, and I for one can recommend that if you get chance you go to the Shajan ! 💙

My favourite place for a curry! The staff are so friendly, the food is delicious and it's such a great atmosphere. The dopiaza and lamb tikka masala is to die for, and the garlic naan was so fresh and flavoursome ! It was my friends birthday, and they made such an effort, all the waiters came and sang happy birthday.

First time visiting tonight we were very impressed with the service 😸 super friendly and attentive the food was excellent as well one of our nan breads was burnt but overall the food was very good we will be returning for sure

Have noticed that the food here has really gone downhill over the last couple of years so stopped going. Decided to give it the benefit of the doubt this evening. I wish we hadn’t bothered. It was awful. Very greasy, no flavour. The oil was floating all over both curries and the bread was soggy it was so greasy. Over cooked, dry chicken and the chips were barely cooked. The rice was the only decent part of the meal. Staff were also ignorant and rude. Definitely will not be returning.

I would recommend sharjan to everyone I have ever come in contact with, this curry is banging. I love sharjan

Wasn’t impressed with the welcome, no one smiled until we were in the restaurant & the waiter came to our table. The service from the staff was very good, the food was excellent, prices quite reasonable. The welcoming committee could do with a training session in meet & greet, this spoilt it for me.

First visit. The place was packed and the service was surprisingly efficient. The food was unreal, a step above any Indian we have ever had. Great choice, superb flavours clearly made with expert care and attention. Good value too. It’s a gem of a place. Wanted to go back the next night !

I have dined in a lot of Indian restaurants and can 100% say this is 1 of the best I have been in from being welcomed at the door and shown to the bar area for drinks Cobra and Kingfisher🇮🇳 beer👌 our food order was taken then when our food was ready we were shown to our table the service was flawless our food was outstanding 5star +++++!! looking forward to our next visit🇮🇳👌

Just about average. Food here has gone downhill over the years. Expensive and not particularly great food. Last two meals have been mainly tasteless. Top tip for the chef green chili is not the same as green capsicum pepper. Try elsewhere there's better value.

When I say local I do live about 8 miles away but it’s better than anywhere else nearby . Dropped in on a Thursday night about 6.30 and I have never seen a busier restaurant ! Having said that these guys have got customer service down cold . Seated almosst immediately and from that point on I can only describe the service as faultless . Considering how busy it was just quality . The starters mains drinks everything was great ! Unflustered , no rush attention to detail enough staff full menu available which I find is often missing when some places are at near capacity . A really refreshing experience how a restaurant should be . Nice interior well dressed and mannered staff . Not missing anything at all. Thanks

Torn! Service was good, but a bit edgy and rushed with a better than though approach. We got asked if we wanted starters and main to arrive together!!! Why....why would you do that. Food tasty, filling and well cooked just something going on

I ordered the Bhajis for starter and Lamb Sali Boti. Starter: I do like to put new Indian or Bangladeshi eateries to the test with some of the staples that are oft seen and ordered around the British isles. It is always surprising to see...

Family meal Cannot fault this place Lots of friendly attentive staff Even the owner made an appearance and even cleared our table A local jewel Thanks

We booked for an early evening meal midweek, service was very quick and the food arrived very quickly. Very tasty dishes and overall very reasonabley priced.

My friend and I booked ahead but when we arrived we were told we hadn’t booked. But after much discussion we were seated but it felt like we were a burden. The food not authentic - more like tomato soup based curries with lots of...

Thought it might be 3rd time lucky but as my last 2 visits (over a period of 20 or so years) the starters were ok, and the mains were not the best, the chicken madras had a horrid chemical taste that irritated the gums! And...

Fantastic meal, was not sure what to expect as restaurant is on the A59 and seemed to us in the middle of nowhere (we were in a Moho on a campsite just up the road). Great food, great service and very good value and incredibly...

Fantastic meal, service and food were outstanding. Would recommend to all and will definitely be returning. Our go to Indian restaurant.

We drove an hour to get to this brilliant restaurant having booked a table for 1pm for two adults om Saturday evening over the phone , for lunch the following day (Sunday ) We arrived to find a note on the door that it opens...

Please note that although their website (also Apple Maps and Google Maps) give the Sunday opening as 1:00pm a sign on the door says 2:00pm. The door sign is not much use if you have travelled 45 minutes to be there for 1:00pm.

I meet on a reasonably regular basis at the Shajan with friends, we all travel from miles around. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. The best curry house in East Lancashire.

We were staying locally and after reading the latest reviews was a bit worried about going. Absolutely lovely food. Very friendly staff. Everywhere looked very clean and all at a very good price. Couldn’t fault it at all. So glad we went!

We eat here regularly and it’s always absolutely packed. We’ve never had a bad meal and I’ve been working my way through the menu. The service is always spot on and despite being so busy there’s never been a mis-step , missed drink or dish....

Not many Indian restaurants give such great food and value for money,if I’m being “picky” the Pashwari Naan wasn’t like I have had before (sweet) but did not detract from the experience.

Poor review on account of cleanliness and manners of owner /manager. We arrived to a pre-booked table at the right time but was told by the owner to sit in bar which was heaving. We said we would wait and go direct to the table...

Overly oily food. Tasteless tough meat . Greasy rice. Sticky salt and pepper shakers - seriously wipe ur condiments down. Hot plates not wiped . Rude staff . Don’t bother - go next door ! Got a two as the beer was fresh !

£16.95 for popps, starter main with rice and naan. Excellent quality and portions. Quick service. Couldn't fault it.

We decided to take the family out for a non-traditional meal. Indian food for Xmas Day. Great portions, good quality food, fixed price,friendly staff - will do this again 😁

Definitely not as good as it used to be. Poor quality naan bread and average dishes although my wife enjoyed her lamb shank. I think the area is suffering for good Indian cuisine at the moment.

Very poor, food an extremely disappointment. We have been going to Shajan Indian restaurant for over 30 years and NEVER had a bad meal. We have not been for a while due to the pandemic, tonight we order a takeaway for our favourite chicken dupyaza,...

Amazing place amazing food amazing staff the best Indian food around what more can be said. Always a special evening out with the team at Shajan.

I’ve been a couple of times to this venue and the food was good but couldn’t help notice the crumbs on chairs, dirty floors and shabby and dirty toilets. Service was ok but not particularly friendly. Owners: pay attention to the details!

Pre booked the table but once arrived was asked to wait in the entrance whilst other customers were attended to who came in after us. Once we were eventually moved to the bar area a very rude female bar tender took our order and after...

I know it's been limited during lock down, but I think this is the best Indian restaurant I've been to in the last 20 years, since leaving London. The food was first class. Fresh, not too oily, full of flavour. I enjoyed every dish. We...

Booked for 7 (adults and teenagers) and all enjoyed the customer service and food. Obviously a popular restaurant and it did not disappoint. Very good !

Delicious food, really nice atmosphere and excellent service. Can really recommend the south India green curry. I can highly recommend

My partner and I ate here whilst on a trip to the area. Having booked for a Tuesday evening we assumed it wouldn’t be that busy… how wrong we were! The restaurant was busy with a good atmosphere and this must be testament to the...

What a great Indian, fantastic , food and top service, what a gem. Great decor, so many dishes to choose from.

Xmas day takeaway - simply stunning mixes starter followed by lamb Sali boti and Chicken Tikka Marsala. Can’t praise it high enough

Place was clean though not sure what they have going on in the bar area, Food wise i have tryed it once so no need to try it again they must use the evo-stick method of cooking as after 20 mins of eating i was...

We had a takeaway Sunday evening (really pleased they have adapted so well for the covid restrictions) and it was excellent. We have been going to Shajan for many years, the buzz in the restaurant is fantastic and always consistently good food and service. We...

Collected a takeaway tonight. Had to wait as it was busy but well worth it. The curries were cooked to perfection. Beautiful flavours Very well organised. Glad to see local businesses so busy in this climate. Will definitely be calling again.

Been going for years , even when restaurant is closed due to covid we still collect takeaways despite travelling nearly an hour to get there.. without any question this is consistently the best Indian restaurant available. Just look at their car park on any night...

We used their takeaway service whilst staying in ribchester and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and prices.

Food was fantastic i have ordered takeaway on Wednesday night it was good. I am a vegetarian i have ordered paneer vegetable biryani for vegetarian paneer (cottage cheese )is their meat and that was missing i called them to know 10 pm but it was...

What can I say about Shajan restaurant? Well firstly kudos must go to them to the way they have adapted the venue to be covid safe. The food was first class as always we have never had a bad meal here in all the time...

What a lovely evening tonight at Shajan. Felt very safe and well organised. Our food was absolutely delicious - especially the king prawn special. In particular our waiters were so lovely ... and we just loved speaking French!!! Absolutely fab - thank you.

Ordered a takeaway Saturday evening on our way back from a trip. We live nearly 9 miles away from Shajan. When we arrived home & started to eat, we found the chicken very dry in both dishes 😒 I couldn't be bothered to call them,...

Another excellent meal at Shajan. Food was excellent, service was quick and friendly. Felt very safe, all staff had either masks or visors. Love this place.

Shajan has always been one of our favourite restaurants and it was excellent to be back tonight. Good as ever and we felt incredibly safe thanks to all the measures taken. Cant wait to be back again.

We were disappointed. We came here for a nice double date with friends we hadn’t seen for months. My boyfriend accidentally knocked over his pint and no staff came near for a good few minutes so it was dripping everywhere. We told the staff and the man just threw a load of cloths at us... like we are paying for a service and you want us to clean it ourselves? We were given 7 popadoms when we asked for 8, we are also charged for 8. My curry had a hair in it so I felt sick instantly, they made me a new one but it tasted totally different so I think it was a different curry, but I felt sick by this point and barely ate any of it anyway.The waiter said “extra garlic” is good for the nann breads and wrote it on without asking us, yeah they tasted good but we was actually charged for extra bloody garlic !!!Was very disappointed with the service we received and the food wasn’t great either. Would not return.
