Been a few months since my last visit, none the less I was welcomed with a handshake and a smile. Shown to my "usual" table and the beer and poppadoms arrived in 5 mins. I have tried quite a few of their dishes now but am always drawn to my all time favourite Chun Chun Lamb. Rich, thick, spicy but bursting with flavour with all the ingredients identifiable. This is to date the best lamb curry I have had in a restaurant and I've been all over! Quality food, quality service and a nice atmosphere continue to make this a jewel in Plymouths Crown. Please try it!

We were here for a family birthday and had a very enjoyable evening. Although we booked early in the evening the restaurant was still nearly full proving how popular it is. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the menu extensive and delicious. .Well done to the staff and compliments to the Chef. We shall definitely be visiting again.

Tasty food but service is poor. Food in general is good with vegetarian options. Service is hit and miss in the restaurant and on the last visit it was miss. Staff can be argumentative with customers, service was inconsistent and unprofessional. Wouldn’t go back at the moment

No music or atmosphere, service ok, food ok, would not rush to go back. Lamb tikka and onion bahjis were nice, sweet chilli sauce seemed an odd sauce to have with them. Chicken madras ok chicken saag far too much spinach and tough chicken

Went here for a birthday dinner and the food was heavenly. Loved the atmosphere and the staff were ever so friendly and accommodating. They truly defined good customer service. We were also given complimentary Sambuca and Bailey's towards the end and they were kind enough to keep the shop open until our cab arrived, didn't complain at all. Looking forward to visiting again.

My first visit was at the beginning of the week when I collected a takeaway. I was impressed with every aspect: the welcome and helpfulness, the cleanliness, and most of all the food…I’ve travelled a lot and the food was fragrant, generous, perfectly spiced, in fact authentic and masterly. I was knocked out. Returned at the end of the week with a friend to eat in, much busier, but perfect service, spotless white cloths, excellent menu, waited a little longer for the food but it’s a popular and busy place and perfectly acceptable unless you want “instant”. in which case go elsewhere. There was the same attention to detail with the food which was fresh and piping hot. and delicious. Well done team and praise to the chefs.

Firstly I have to say that my visit was early on a Monday evening so it was quiet hence the atmosphere review! Dispite the above, and being a lone diner, I was enthusiastically welcomed and shown to my table. Looking around the restaurant was bright, airy and smart.Beer and poppadoms arrived promptly to keep me happy whilst I perused the menu. A lot of 'different' dishes in the specials section which made choosing fun. I settled for chun chun lamb with aloo gobi and pilau rice. This was all served piping hot and the lamb was truly delicious, butter soft and packed with flavor! The food was some of the very best I've had and completed by attentive and friendly service from both my waiter and the'boss'. They obviously care alot about what they do and it shows. Well done Shapla, I'll be back!

This is a super restaurant. We have eaten in the restaurant and had takeaways from Shapla. The staff are always very friendly, cheerful and polite. Ali the owner is always very welcoming and we love visiting the restaurant. We had a takeaway with our son and daughter in law who live locally and it was the usual very high standard of food, always fantastic quality and so tasty. We always look forward to have an indian from Shapla, just wish they had a restaurant near Sidmouth.

On entering I was welcomed by the pleasant staff who showed me to my table. This restawasbestablisged in 1999. Drinks menu was a wide variety and the chilled magners was refreshing. Poppadoms and a variety of dips kick started the evening. Very generous portions. A mixed platter was the choice of my starter and it came with salad and was excellent in taste and presentation. Again portions plentiful. For my mains I had the Raj Biriyani and came in a large plate with a madras vegetable sauce again plentiful. Staff were very welcoming by ensuring everything ok and thisbwas reassuring and shows customer experience care and attention. We couldn't eat all of it, so takeaway boxes were at hand to have again. I would thoroughly recommend Shapla, an award winning Restaurant that excels in top class food and service. Will definitely visit again and a huge thank you to the owner and staff.

Popped in to collect my online order - staff were immediately attentive and super friendly, even though I was in there for only 5 seconds max. A gentleman who I assumed was the manager (he had that kind of confidence about him) handed me my order which was piping hot and so neatly packed. Back at home, absolutely delighted to find the food was just delicious. I was expecting another sub-par curry house (Plymouth isn't exactly a food mecca...) but it was nothing like that. We had sag aloo, veg madras, veg masala and a few chapatti to soak it all up. Complimentary poppadums and dips just made it even better. Will definitely be going in for a sit down dinner next time. Namaste.

We ordered our first and last meal from Shapla this evening. Two king prawn mains, some pilau rice, a couple of sides and the obligatory onion bhaji. £50 in total, which is about average, price-wise. Unfortunately, each dish was bland and the rice and bhaji were so dry as to make them impossible to eat. We (my husband and me) managed to get half way through our respective meals before giving up and throwing the rest in the kitchen bin. We've had Indian cuisine in many places all over the world, but this, without a doubt, was the most forgettable, uninspiring and flavourless meal we've ever had.

Had an amazing curry from here. All really tasty. It was a day late because they don't open on Monday's as it says on Google. I have advised them to update that, but apart from that everything was great.
