Shama Takeaway in Leeds

The chicken tikka masala was extremely poor. It like they used no cream or yoghurt. It was just chicken covered in a tomatoey spicy paste rather than a curry. It's like they've never seen a curry before, it was baffling. I gave 2 stars instead of one purely because it would have been good value if the curry wasnt so bad

The chicken chaat was just a plate of chicken and no chapati or real filling. The chicken balti had no sauce whatsoever, but a healthy serving of water at the bottom for good measure. The rice was harder than 6 week old tiger bread, and the chicken was drier than the bottom of Ghandi’s flip flop. Even flies wouldn’t touch this food.

Have ordered here before and usually enjoy the food but tonight the kebab was cold and the chips barely warm. The donner meat was tough and did not seem to be fresh. Sadly did not enjoy on this occasion.

Ordered a chicken buna and chicken rogan Josh. Tasteless overcooked dry chicken; both seemed the same; equally as bad Not nice at all! Popadoms and mango chutney were ok. How they serve this rubbish I have no idea.

5/5 value 4/5 food it was good and they let us bank transfer

One of the best curries I had in a while.

first time ordering from here so didnt know what to expect food was very nice pizza cooked just right def be ordering again

very nice special curry bit bland but over all very nice

Love the food, i always get the curry meal deal and order through their website and if the order is over £15 you get a discount, always friendly staff when i go in.

Probably one of the best pizzas I've had from anywhere.

Best curry/Balti I’ve had in along time , 100% recommendation x

food arrived early and was hot on arrival. curry was flavoursome and had nice kick of spice. Will be ordering again

Food was disgusting wont get from there again

Excellent as always, driver always comes up the stairs when he doesn't need to.

Second time ordering from here and won’t be our last! Again food arrived fresh, hot and was very tasty, thank you! xx

No chappatis as per order. Not worth chasing, but a bit sloppy on the restaurant's part.

Late by 1 hour kept changing the time to when it was supposed to be delivered and then it came and was flat cold! Not impressed at all

Food was tasty and hot and delivered on time, we will definitely be ordering from here again, thank you! xx

Can’t fault, not oily, fresh food and excellent service. Finally found our regular 😁

This is the finest take away curry I've ever had. What more can I say? The chicken was tender. Normally, I can't finish a take away but I did tonight. The chapatis were very thin and delicate. Unlike the usual very thick things we are normally served. The meal arrived well before the estimated delivery time. A great experience. I will definitely use this restaurant again.

We placed a large order for 6 people on New Year’s Eve and expected a bit of a delay but the food was actually delivered early and was hot. The quality and flavour was excellent. Everyone enjoyed everything. Well worth the money..

Normally absolutely love this takeaway, but have a bad experience recently. Put an order in which came out of my account and then they emailed to say the order has been declined. I received a phone call 5 mins later saying the money would be sent back. This was the 9th of November! Still no money returned. I’ve rung them a few times in which they said they’d drop it off thar evening and yet still not received the refund.

I ordered to the wrong address. The driver was awesome and delivered to the correct address for me when I told him I had accidentally ordered to the wrong place. And the food was delicious as always!

Not bad but my word the portions have shrunk whilst the prices have gone up. You get the option to go ‘large’ for an extra £3. I’d guess in reality this would be the portion size they served a few years back. Seriously not worth the money. I could have paid less at a restaurant for an actual decent sized portion. Won’t be using again purely because the value doesn’t exist.

First time ordering from here and it was spot on. Will definitely order in the future.

Korma wasn’t great and had a strange taste. The burger had cheese on when didn’t request. The garlic chilli was absolutely amazing and so was the chicken Balti

Easy ordering and fabulous food delivered earlier than advertised.

Really enjoyed our curries, starters and sundries but didn't receive chips we paid for.

1st time ordering not right good tonight

Great food and great service tonight!

The chicken pakoras was rock hard cooked from frozen chappatis under cooked and asked for a jalfrezi and had hotter kormas overall not impressed and won’t be rushing back

Food was nice but the chapatis was not how I like them I would of given 5 stars otherwise

First time ordering, will definitely be re ordering 👍🏻👍🏻

Sharma never disappoint. Top quality food every time!

Always good for from The Sharma

Always great food. Would highly recommend.

Terrible curry pretty inedible normally decent

Very tasty food and delivered early.

What an absolute joke of a place. I ordered two of the same curries but one only came the other was different. When I called in and wanted to complain the manager was rude, unpolite and obnoxious. This manager was constantly speaking to me in slang language ‘bro’ ‘Whats wrong bro’ ‘why you lying bro’ ….. I am not your bro! plus he did not care about my order. I then asked him I wanted to speak to the owner he still said no. I offered him photo evidence of my curry to show him it was incorrect and still he said no. I just wanted to fix it quickly as I had two kids with me who was hungry. They did send out a second curry but I turned it down because the manager did state on the phone the second curry will taste better this time around. Now what does that suppose to mean? as you can tell a lot of things were going in my head after that comment….I mean he could be going on about spitting in it for all I know. So I turned it down and complained to just eat. The owner did contact me and apologised. I did send him the photo and he said thank you for the feedback which was good off him, exactly how it should be. I think this place has potential just one or two bad apples work here, which is bad for business.

Currys are spectacular. I'm a chef myself and there producing restaurant quality at takeaway prices. Pizzas are pretty, and they taste great. The boneless box meals are my go 2 when hungover. the only thing left to change is some higher quality fries that match. Maybe a bit of rosemary salt on the fries and less time in the fryer.

Ok where do i start 16/08/23 @ 19.15. They got the order wrong. I said i will send them a picture to prove this. They said no. I ask to speak to the manager he said he was the manager even though he called him up. Then this guy started to swear at me. I did ask him to deliver the food himself and he refused. He was veryy rude and unpolite. Do not use this place. I will now avoid. The big man on the phone is ruining this place and its image.

Delivery was late, fine, but fries were missing off the order which we had already paid for. We enjoy fries with our curry, due to having to call the restaurant by time we had food I was cold and spoiled, guy on phone asked do you want your chips? Well yes I did pay for them. Curry flavours not as nice as usual. Due to the lack of passion and enthusiasm with the takeaway it has let us down this time. Maybe a bad day? We will probs order again later in the future but not anytime soon. Delivery guy polite

Great food really enjoy this place but £3 delivery stops me ordering more often. Be good if i could order direct for free delivery.

Love the food from here but the £3 delivery stops me ordering more often.

Even though 20 minutes doesn't seem long to be late we had already waited 1hr 20mins. Currys were very tasty and worth the wait, will use again but probably pickup.

This was fantastic 😍 sorry for the small order, next time I'll order more 🤤

Amazing. Came within 20mins, hot and fresh, quality food and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use again.

Very nice Very impressed, Ordered chicken tikka masala and lamb rogan josh, rice and chapatis 1st time ordering here will definitely be ordering again and finally found my goto place in the future for a very nice curry, taken 6 years to find a good curry takeaway

Late arriving and cold. Worst Indian I’ve had got some time

Excellent quality food very tasty

AMAZING 😍 CURRYS ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVELY, GOT A FREEBIE TOO WHICH WAS DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend!

Great Quality Food.. good portion size

King kebab meat was under cooked and just thrown on a nan which was also not cooked properly and was soggy It's about time they grilled the chicken tika and lamb tika

Absolutly disgusting food. This is not indian food! Clearly used a jar from aldi and pawned it off as there own. The meat was so dry i thought i was eating cardboard. This is not authenic indian food and will never go back. Pathic!!!!

Not as good as usual which was a shame - Fish Masala totally over cooked and Balti not as tasty as normal - wonder if it’s because it was a Tuesday

Food was very dry, tasted strange. The portions were small. The popadoms were nice but I wouldn’t recommend the tikka masala

Absolutely delicious and quite different to the average curry around here.

Curry was okay but bahjees and sides were poor quality

food was so amazing, the daal was cooked perfectly and everyone loved their dishes- would highly recommend !

Very tasty food, Fast delivery

Always loved pizzas from the Shama! However ordered a curry meal deal last night and the taste of the food was horrendous to the point I actually gipped and brought it back up. Chips was undercooked also. Real shame as used to order from here regularly but was massively put off from last nights experience.

Brilliant food once more. Problem with an offer (just eat issue not the restaurant) and they came straight back with free item within ten minutes. Great service and top notch food.

Great food. My new favourite Indian takeaway.

Food took over two hours to be delivered and I ordered a large curry portion and received a regular size one and then they refused to refund me the difference.

I have been getting curry from here for years, always lovely and fresh. Unfortunately this evening my order arrived and cold, wet chips and the garlic Nan not cooked properly and lacking garlic. I rang Shama and was offered a fresh order so that was positive. I didn’t take the offer of fresh chips etc. just a shame as it’s usually fantastic.

1st time ordering from here as read all the reviews beforehand. Thought it would be banging. Waited 2 hours on a Wednesday for a pizza, curry and a starter. Live in bramley. Never ordering again!

Really good food. Great driver, fast delivery and a real find. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks!!

Loooove The Shama fantastic every time without fail! And lovely delivery guys

The first time ordering, it tasted like good quality food. It was nice and hot, will order again in the future.

Used to make good authentic dishes . Now If I order veg curry , all I get is potato curry and few veggies . Please don't decrease the quality

Just totally brilliant, just got back from hols and always the first thing we do is order a Shama!

Excellent as always🙂 Get an order done and ‘fill ya boots’!! 😂😂

Good portions, really enjoyed our first Dona! Yummy

Ordered chicken balti and it was tasteless .. no spice or anything just tasted dry .. very disappointed 😞

Great food just missing items Genuine mistake

Order from here regularly,everything is always spot on great service and drivers so friendly,

Fabulous food! Delivered hot and on time by a super nice man. What more could you ask for 👍🎉👍

Very tasty as always from Sharma and super quick. Reasonably priced as well. Will continue to order from Sharma

Great punchy grub 👍 delivered hot, and boxed perfectly….by a gentleman 🙂 Great service! Back soon 🙂🎉 Happy 2023🎉🙂

Really good quality food we all enjoyed our meal

Great experience from start to finish.

Food was hot and really tasty will order again

Everything we ordered was absolutely spot on will definitely order again

This was not a great meal but I didn’t leave a review at the time. However I’ve recently found out this place had a surprise hygiene inspection by LCC in which they have found serious failings and awarded it a one out of five rating! I know I’ll not be ordering from here again.

Very nice, all food was piping hot and delicious. Very good fries! Curry was flavourful. Will be back!

Our first time ordering from here & it certainly didn’t disappoint. The curry dishes were fresh & hot. Garlic nan was lovely & my partner enjoyed his dishes too. The mixed started could of been a little better with perhaps a couple of pieces chicken tikka. Will defo be ordering again.

Disgusting food. They scored 1 star for their food hygiene. Its even on the news. Wouldn't recommend to anyone if they value their health

All food lovely full of taste and piping hot.

Brilliant food and great value for money

fantastic meal hot 🔥 when it arrived everything really enjoyed the hole meal excellent service

Beautiful tasting food , although it was requested NO CUCUMBER due to severe allergy - thankfully it was in a separate tub, which avoided an allergic reaction.

The king kebab was very very salty. Way overboard.. couldn’t finish it. Same with the kebab meat!

The curry lid wasn't on properly lifted out bag and fell all over floor scolding my hand so couldn't eat my tea as the place didn't pack properly and now im out of pocket

Absolutely fantastic as always ❤️ 5⭐

Best takeaway in pudsey. Currys fantastic pizzas are really well cooked and always great service. Best currys in leeds

This was one of the nicest curries I have ever had. Everything was lovely. Thank you

Me and my fiancé ordered 2 donnor kebabs with salad and chilli sauce for tea this evening and now we are both throwing up I have reported to environmental health as there FOOD HYGIENE RATING IS 3 what is that showing not happy one bit!!! Absolutely disgusting!!! Oh and the delivery driver stunk of Really Bad Body Oder!!!

The food were amazing best take away I’ve had in a long time !! It’s now my number one

Great service and food would highly recommend

I've been a customer of The Shama for many years now but after this delivery I'm done. On arrival, the curry was in the bag, not its container, and was all over everything. The driver clearly just threw it in his car and let it roll around. When I'd rescued what I could, cleaned up and reheated everything else, we found that the mixed kebab starter for two contained just one seekh kebab - do you put half in a starter for one?!; the tarka dhal side was dried out and so salty it was inedible; and the chapattis were tiny, and so thin that they were translucent. Those couldn't have cost more that 2p each to make but you have the gall to charge 50p. Normally, we would expect all that plus the 'go large' curry to do dinner for two plus leftovers for lunch the next day. Not this time - it was barely sufficient for dinner and, at those prices, we may as well have gone out to eat. What on earth happened to you?
