We arrived and were promptly shown our table. We ordered meals from the special menu, plus a vegetable bhaji and tarka daal. The starters were nice. Well presented and tasty. As it was Ramadan the manager informed the customers that there would be some small delays whilst the observant staff broke fasting, this was fine and good to see the staff were being looked after. We did not mind at all. The delay was minimal. The mains arrived and the curries, rice and naans were good. The vegetable bhaji was good too, however the daal was not. It was too smooth, more like a split pea soup and there was very little spiced flavour, not at all what I have ever experienced before, nor what I would want to experience again. When the manager stepped to ask if all was OK with the meal, I offered honest feedback in regards to the daal. What disappointed, was that he was unable to accept this feedback, stating that's just how they do it, that may be the case but at the very least listen to the feedback, rather than dismiss it as he did. Just because many people do not give such feedback does not mean it is all good. We finished our meal and left. I was disappointed in how the manager responded and it spoilt what had been nice night. As stated, food is good, the surroundings and decor are nice, but a note to the manager, if you can't accept honest feedback from a customer, don't ask them how their meal is.

Well beyond my expectations. There are 5 similar restaurants within a short walk of each other. Glad I chose Shampan. Food was great and service was to a high standard. For around 30 pounds, you can get a pretty good 3 course meal.

Shampan is an exceptional dining experience. I go here often as Kami and the team consistently deliver unmatched customer service, going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued and satisfied. The food at Shampan is tremendous, setting a new standard of excellence in taste and presentation. I highly recommend everyone to experience how amazing Shampan is as it's more than just a meal, it's an unforgettable journey of flavours and hospitality.

We had been loyal customers of a restaurant in Tynemouth for several years but having experienced a decline in food quality together with poor staff service we decided to find another restaurant and we went here, to the Shampan. It will be nearly two years since we first dined at the Shampan and we have become firm regulars. The restaurant itself is beautifully fitted out, and always spotlessly clean, the tables are set with nice linen and the staff take pride in setting the tables. The staff themselves are so professional but still very pleasant and friendly. They are always dressed very smartly. During our many visits, we have enjoyed trying various dishes and we have always found every one to be first class. Service is always swift and tables are cleared of empty dishes and plates very efficiently, the entire staff all seem to work as a team and they make your dining experience an absolute pleasure. Taking everything into account that the Shampan has to offer, in our opinion no other restaurant that we have visited provides such great food and service consistantly.

It was very very busy for a Tuesday evening, which probably accounted for the slow service. Pickle trays were good as was the Punjabi chicken starter. Lamb starter looked a little bit small. All mains were good and plentiful. The freebie Baby Guinnesses were enjoyable, as ever. Service very polite and they did apologise for the delay.

Unreal food, staff are great too. Been coming here for years, and sure I recognise some staff from other resteraunts that aren't around any more Usually no issues at all, but the last time we went, we had to wait quite a while for our table even though we had a booking. Not a huge issue, but would've been nice to settle down and have a drink while we ordered, felt a tad rushed!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants we have dined in in the UK. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The team of staff were exemplary - well dressed, professional, courteous and friendly. Inside it's a nice modern design with varying dining areas. We opted for the banquet meal and I have to say each course was pretty much perfect. The timing of courses was flawless - quick to clear the table and next course served straight away, this was very impressive. I was just gutted we didn't manage to finish it all. It can be a bit tricky parking if you're driving here but I just parked down a side road which was only a couple of minutes walk away - the sea front is only 5 minutes stroll away. The Malabar IPA on draught was one of the nicest IPA's I've had👌🏻, I'm going to have to see if I can get it in the shops. Looking forward to our next visit! 😋 Update 13/7/23 - again, as previous, food, venue and staff all excellent!

Really disappointed in the veg Rogan Josh curry. It basically consisted of a frozen mixed veg pack … ie carrots peas green beans all fried up with onions & then covered in a tin of tomatoes. No spice, no flavour whatsoever. Spoke to Manager who wasn’t really interested, they took it away & just added a large spoonful of chilli powder … needless to say still didn’t eat it. Worst Indian dish I have ever had & going by the reviews I was expecting it to be the best.

Service is fantastic with the addition of a decorated table, birthday balloon and a cake with a firework candle when the staff came over to sing happy birthday my partner was blown away total suprise! It's all he's talked about it really made his day. I cannot thank them all enough for the effort in service and food. We will definitely be spreading the word and making this a monthly treat visit.

My hubby is so picky when it comes to Indian food, we couldn’t fault the taste it was lovely .If I had any criticism I’d say the nan was particularly small, usually we would half one but this one was for one person. Not bothered enough to loose a star but next time will order a nan each instead of sharing. Owner is very friendly and I was provided with a free drink whilst I waited for my meal. Overall it’s my new go to takeaway
