Shama Balti Indian Restaurant in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Never had a bad meal here. Staff are great too.

Had a small 30th birthday party tonight. The staff on duty were impeccable, kind, very polite and helpful, the food was excellent, no complaints the food was hot, the meat was tender in all the curries. Plenty of it too, I would and will recommend the restaurant to anyone who enjoys dining out. Thank you very much to all the staff

all the food was cold and just not upto the normal standard

Excellent food. Just need to update the menu on their website to show descriptions

Piping hot, VERY tasty and so quick on delivery. Lovely service at door also, but to top everything off was the many choices of delicious food. Top notch 👌👍

Excellent food and service. I go there regularly with my friend.

Absolutely delicious! Staff and service well worth the wait. . Have been here many times and will continue to come. Keep up the good work guys! Simply the best!

excellent food and service as always 👍🏼

Always love a Shama but this one was simply the best! Thank you WE WILL BE BACK!!

The food was really good. They wasn't a lot of meat (lamb) in my curry but the flavours were spot on. The chapatis were lovely as well. This is a bring your own alcohol if you want a drink, restaurant

Worst chicken tikka I have ever tried, No veggies and sauce served and very hard pieces of chicken seems like leftover from days ago. One thing more no flavour and spices very bland not recommended to anyone

Been coming here for years and as always, I was provided with excellent service from all members of staff who were extremely attentive and quick. Food was delicious as always, couldn’t fault any part of the meal it was all outstanding. My friend came for the first time and said it was the tastiest curry he’s had!

Great. Mum's curry was too spicy and they exchanged it no questions asked. Lamb bunha was very good.

early as in good 👍 brilliant driver food was hot and tasty when arrived

favourite restaurant and takeaway, never disappointed. Order is always as described, piping hot, lovely 👍🏻

The Balti chicken tikka was brilliant but the kebab was dry and overcooked so I didn’t eat it. Disappointed and wouldn’t recommend

Superb food as always. Shama never fail to impress. If you haven't been there you are missing something very special.

Best takeaway in a long time! Food cooked to perfection- clearly a skilled chef! Will be ordering again very soon! 10/10- huge thanks!

The chops were a very small portion and cold. the rice was cold as well. to say it took over an hour to arrive, it should have been hot.

food arrived late and cold, usually put poppadoms and pickle tray in complimentary. but didn't get it. wasn't until usual sham standard at all. the korma asked for mild as for.chikd and was spicy. ans everything was cold and needed warming up. 60 pounds worth of food all needed reheating. not happy at all really.

Great place to eat. I do not drink, but on a recent business dinner, my guests wanted an ice cold beer to enjoy with the delicious grub. It is a pity that alcohol is not served here.

I just want to say how much I have been impressed by the food, staff and atmosphere at Sharma’s this evening. We came to Huddersfield, from Middlesbrough, to spend the weekend with friends for my partners birthday and chose to come to this restaurant, with our friends, on their recommendation. It was the perfect recommendation, we were certainly not disappointed. The welcome we received when we arrived was wonderful and the restaurant was immaculate and very comfortable. The staff made you feel so special and were polite and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was so tasty and perfectly cooked and presented really well. The meat was tender and succulent and just yummy. Then to top off the wonderful experience my partner was given a wonderful desert with a sparkler in it to celebrate his birthday, which made the evening even more special. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. A fantastic night, amazing food along with good company made a very special evening. Thank you everyone.

I don't get a curry from anyone else . Always spot on 10 out of 10 every time

Love this place took family over Christmas and great time foods always good.will be back

Great food and on time delivery, always loved Shama and now the deliver, happy days, loads of veggie choice

I have never left the restaurant so angry. I placed an order for the sizzling platter for my daughter and explained to the waiter If it could be cooked before and put on a plate they said that that was okay. So I just wanted some grilled food for my 1&1/2 year old because I knew she would eat that. So why did the waiter then bring five pieces of really spicy chicken and then explain to me that they wouldn’t serve me the food I requested for my daughter because they didn’t deem it was “a bad idea to give that to a baby”. Yes, lamb chops have bones in by intended to cut them up and serve the meat that she regularly eats at home. Who does the waiter think he is to have the authority to tell me how to feed my child and imply that I don’t know how to keep my child safe. I know a hot plate won’t be safe that’s why I specifically asked for it to be cooked and they said that was fine. I didn’t want to make a scene a restaurant as I didn’t want to ruin Everyone else’s experience but basically had to feed her Nan because she wasn’t able to eat anything else that was provided, because they specifically went against my order because they thought they clearly thought they knew how to look after my child better than I did. My food was nice, but that’s beyond the point and pay for food which wasn’t eaten. The audacity

We really enjoy the curries from here. We even have takeout occasionally and the staff are pleasant and friendly. All in all a good place to eat.

Wow 👌 best in twn, been ere twice! take ur own booze absolutely amazing, next day you will have the best experience straight bullets out bond fire! Best part is you can just sit in this restaurant and get bond pati

First time here, my parents go here quite often. Will definitely be back.

Marvelous. A bit "Crackers"🤣🎄 due to it being Christmas Day, but the food, service and value for money was spot on. Six of us altogether and everyone enjoyed it.

We come to sharma regularly and the food is always spot on. The service is Fantastic and the staff are really polite and friendly especially Zia. He can’t do enough for you. 100% recommend.

Great food, had a lovely meal here tonight. First time at Shama in a couple of years, and pleased to say that nothing has changed in terms of an authentic experience. Enjoyed a great meal for two the food is tasty and full of authentic flavours and delicious we will definitely be back.

Best restuarant in Kirklees! Don't be put off by area. It's easy to overlook it because it's in Fartown, but please give it a try because you wont be disapointed. Inside it's huge. Very clean and tastefully decorated with ornate pieces set in beautiful alcoves. Waiting area quite large with comfy seating. Spacious and opportunity to dine in private 'corners'. Food top quality and very tasty. My husband is fussy and says they create dishes with the best flavour. Service excellent. All staff are attentative and friendly. They were very gracious with a drunk customer who was trying to cause trouble - handled them professionally and are courteous to everyone. Lastly, the prices are very reasonable. Well worth a visit, even if you are an area snob - this restuarant is a credit to Fartown and if they continue their great service and food, they'll be around for many years to come.

Best takeaway and restaurant in Huddersfield 👍🏻

Absolutely stunning food. The very very best. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and arrived hot and early,thanks guys.

Lovely food & excellent delivery service.

If you order a curry, don't expect the spiciness that you requested. (My partner asked for a creamy/mild Korma - it was so spicy, she couldn't finish it; I love spicy, but even I had to admit that it was hot). Don't bother ordering a mixed Kebab; its the worst in Huddersfield. Dry and looked like it was several days old. Order the Tandoori Roti, its similar to naan but cheaper. Don't bother with the Chipati's, ours were undercooked (not sure how they managed this). If you order Pickle Tray, order the poppadoms separate (no idea what they are like - we didn't get any). Like complementary salad? Don't expect too much, I got two slices of cucumber, a slice of tomato on a bed of onions. The only thing I liked was my curry; the Balti Chicken Tikka Kashmiri, thats it. Like Indian? Don't order from this restaurant. I've never given a one star review and I'm often forgiving - especially on a weekend when its busy (this was a Tuesday). Don't let the fancy box that it arrives in fool you, its bad. It cost me around £35, where is the value that I paid for? Did I just pay for the box and my curry?

always a lovely meal, arrived on time and hot.

i cannot understand all these great reviews! Ordered for collection through Just Eats...what a mistake! Ordered medium and specifield no pieces of chilli in food. When I got it home not only was the food full of slices of red hot chillies there were also loads chopped up. The bhajis as Jason remarked on were flat, stale tasteless tiny pancakes. The mains were so chilli hot and mushy they were inedible. I rang the restaurant and was told they couldn't account for "personal preferences" and that ALL their curries came with at least two bullet chillies regardless of requests. As for the bhajis I got the usual, no one else has ever complained and people love them de dah de dah. He wasn't in the slightest bit bothered and tried to put the problem back on me. The menu does not state that the food I ordered contained red hot chillis. I requested a refund which was refused. I took it up with Just Eat who also refused saying that they are not responsible for takeaways not fulfilling requests. Also whoever heard of overwhelming curry powder in the egg rice!!!

Ordered here before my partner says this is the best curry he has had.

We came all the way from Birmingham to try this place and omg it was amazing food was on point very friendly staff everything waa cooked to perfection

Probably the best place for a real authentic curry in Huddersfield, with great service too.

Arrived early yet freezing cold

Delicious and earlier than estimated times!

Absolutely delicious food, although we may have to go down a spice level next time as it turns out we aren't as tough as we thought we were!

Best curry Iv had in Huddersfield 10/10 had the balti special Asian style heat level was perfect

Great food, great service have eaten in and had take away absolutely delicious and decent portions definitely recommend

We order the same everytime, this time the food was way to hot, unedible, it was too hot for the kids. So the kids went without and we suffered with terrible guts! What a waste,not happy.

Really nice food and nice service from staff

Not been for a while but just as good as ever and very good service.

Great service, staff very friendly and attentive, food wonderful.

Excellent food and well ahead of time. Perfect!

Excellent food as always and very consistent every time. Service can be a little slow during busy times but that's understandable. Would definitely recommend a visit.

My food was never delivered. I waited for like an hour and called the restaurant to ask where's my food. They claimed they sent the driver for delivery who tried to call you and left voicemail but the truth is no one came to deliver the food and I haven't got any voicemails from anyone. They are lying on your face as I ordered right before 15 mins of restaurant closing time and I guess they didn't want to prepare and deliver. Worst experience of such a big named restaurant. Never ever ordering again. I don't know if I will ever get my money refunded.

Had a takeaway verynIce food we will go back thank you shama

Food is delicious but they forgot my drink.

Fantastic meal. Best curry I’ve had in a long time.

The samosas at £5 + were obviously from frozen and the onion bhaji was shaped like a burger and about 5mm thick and was as dry and tasteless as a carpet tile

Great food, polite staff with good knowledge on dishes

Second time once again exceptional need to try the restaurant top class

The food was average, and the service was below average as we were ignored for a long period of time. This place has definitely gone downhill. I think most customers had a lot to drink and it was noisy.

Best Asian restaurant. The garlic naan is delicious

My second order from them and the food was as good as the first time - and that was superb. A little bit late, though.

food arrived hot and delicious as usual

Great food and great service, very friendly as always.

I went fish for starter and main,they were fantastic. Solo dining but not a problem. Lots of families, lots of attentive staff

The food was lovley and well presented and tasted awesome Will definatley order again

This is my new favourite curry house in Huddersfield 👌 I just wish I had of known about it 6years ago when I moved here! Top notch in terms of food and service and the price to sit in and eat- the waiter did very well in his recommendations of dishes and preference to have them Asian style! 🫶Can not wait to have another out of Shama!

First time I've ordered from this takeaway, which was recommended to me, and I can honestly say it's quite possibly the best takeaway I've had

The portions are small I asked for mild and was still spicy , but on the whole the food is very fresh tasty and arrived way before it was supposed to arrive which was not a big deal but just bare that in mind if you’re not at home when ordering.

Weren’t lover of there way of cooking Indian food, and get bigger portions elsewhere too.

Jang served us and did a tremendous job in making us feeling at home. Great food and hospitality.

Food was delicious and even came very quick - earlier than we thought

Tasty food delivered hot by a friendly driver! Great job 😊

Great food . The best hosts had a disability entry issue for my sister. But they delt with it. And said they would be recommending some improvements to access on this point. But the staff lifted my sisters chair in over the front step. As it was just one step up. We ended up swoping jokes. This was a family reunion. And it went great. We will be back again. Great job. Jang took care of us. He has plenty of jokes if wish to trade with him.

first visit and i really loved it my chicken korma was gorgeous thank you all so much

Ordered the sizzler for one couldn't believe what a small portion it was would have ordered for 2 people waste of money

Best place to have a curry. I don't like my food to have too much chilli in it and they always listen and make sure it's not too spicy. The food is always tasty and worth every penny.

Our all time favourite bring your own drinks curry house!! Always incredible friendly service from shaheed and Jang. The food is always consistently perfect, and they are beyond lovely with our daughter! Sizzler for 2 and lamb or chicken tikka buchari is my top choice!!

Called in on Saturday night, first time since Covid. Fantastic food as usual The service as excellent from start to finish. Would highly recommend this place, would even go as far as saying its does the best curries in Huddersfield. Loveliest part about our visit was finding out Jang is back!! Great to see you all. We will deffo be back again very soon

Fabulous staff, fabulous food, fantastic service thank you

Missing items, mild curries too hot to eat, 47.50 for 2 starters and 2 mains wouldn't waste my time

Very polite staff and delicious food

Called in on Thursday and was seated without an issue, the staff we all friendly and welcoming. We took some time to order as it was the first time one of us had visited and the staff we able to offer suggestions based on other dishes we stated we like. The cheese and onion naan is absolutely amazing.

Fabulous food, lovely staff, very reasonable prices and thoroughly recommended

Love curry from here usually but was very bland. Other meal was fine

Simply the best as usual for over 18years

Absolutely amazing food, 10/10 service, waiters are very helpful and again cant fault it, 10/10 recommended

Waited two hours for food the chicken wasn't cooked was pink so we told them for him to say it is not even that the rice was cold so the just warmed it in microwave to going to pay and saying we just paying for this for that and he swore at us and said don't come back absolutely disgusting service 2hrs waiting time disgusting about 20 working their

The service and food is always excellent from Shama. Their delivery person is always cheerful, polite and respectful of our property. It is always a treat waitibg

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were great, but the music was far too loud and not at all relaxing. For someone with sensory processing issues and an anxiety disorder it didn't make for a calm or comfortable atmosphere to eat in. It felt like trying to eat a meal in a nightclub. I'll order a takeaway for sure, but won't be returning for a sit down meal.

Amazing restaurant, but use the phone number on their website because the one that comes up on google is not their number so if you want to ring you need to go into the shama website and use the phone number starting in 01 at the bottom of their homepage on the website

Lovely food, nice place, reasonable prices. Staff were brilliant.

My favourite x Lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere. The booths are perfect for more intimate dining and to boot the food is top notch.

Not been for a few years decided to try it again and wasn’t disappointed food was great and the service is perfect very attentive. The food was fresh and served quickly would definitely recommend.

I always love going for a meal but first time having it delivered and it didn't disappoint will order again

We try other restaurants but always go back there. Naan breads are the best I have ever had. We will be there next week.

This place is fantastic. My top curry spot in huddersfield. The lalo lamb is a unique dish that is outstanding. Plus they don't spank you on booze, you take your own. I'll be back again soon. Thanks for a fab night.

Food was fantastic as per, only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the delivery was 40 mins late, however the food was still hot and very nice. Will be ordering again
