Shapla in Bath and North East Somerset

Awful…. Delivery driver was rude as he couldn’t find address (yet have plenty of other things delivered and no problems finding me!) Chips were cold, hard and could not eat and we ordered a kebab and a wrap… hardly any meat, again freezing cold and tasted awful! Will never order again

Lamb dansak is absolutely fantastic. Plenty of tender meat and really nice sauce. I'm a regular customer

Terrible disappointing meal. The Lamb Jhalfrezi, Bombay Aloo and Cauliflower Bhazi all had the same or similar gloopy pour over sauce. The vegetables were a day over cooked to a soft mush. A real throw back bad old days of Indian restaurant “what do they know” serve ‘em anything approach to food. The papadum’s were OK.

Always order curry from here and would never go anywhere else! Every time I order lamb bhuna, lamb vindaloo and garlic naan and it’s always so flavourful. Not oily at all and you can really taste the fresh ingredients they use. I love the bag of onions/cucumber they provide and the yellow sauce. We even got a surprise free vegetable curry in our order tonight which was so kind, thank you and keep up the great work

Very tasty quality food! Excellent friendly service, highly recommended 👌 and they deliver in good time 💚

This Indian has its food on point, the flavour, the potion size and textures... got to be the best tasting Indian i have ever tasted... i would highly recommend shapla to everyone and if you haven't tried get down there today you won't be disappointed believe me 👌💜🙌 Thank you shapla xx

Wonderful food. Well cooked and authentic fare. Friendly and fast with it. Reasonably priced food and a good deal

We ordered a takeaway meal from them last week, we haven't used them before so was a little apprehensive in ordering but it arrived really quickly and I must admit it was the best indian takeaway I have ever had, we ordered the chicken tikka masala and chicken korma and the chicken was amazing so was the sauce, nan breads and poppdoms. I would definitely order from them again and I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic restaurant one of the best Indian dinners I've had in a long time and i would really recommend

At the moment, this is the second best Indian Cuisine in the Midsomer Norton/Radstock area. Only Spice Dunes in Farrington Gurney beats it for quality of food. However, Shapla's menu is more comprehensive with more choice on offer, and Shapla's prices are more reasonable also. Although I have tasted better food, this is excellent food for the money. Highly reccomended folks.

Visiting my son who lives in Radstock, we drove past this unassuming Indian/Bangladesh restaurant, looked at the menu and decided to give it a go. An excellent decision. Our host, a lovely lady named Zee, showed us to a table and took our order for drinks. We ordered 4 poppadoms and dips and they and the dips were delicious. My son is lactose intolerant and they kindly offered to cook his korma without milk - VERY impressed. My chicken pathia was as good as I’ve eaten and the two vegetable sides were huge along with the pilau rice. The restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol, so customers are invited to bring their own wines if they wish to. Considering we had a terrific feast of excellent food, the bill of £36 for both of us was very good value for money. I will definitely be returning to this small but charming family run restaurant again and suggest others do to.

Really disappointed with the main courses. Chicken sag- the chicken was chewy and the lamb rogan yosh chewy as well. The the popadoms were so stale they were even bendy! The naan bread was stone cold, hadn’t even been heated. I rang to complain about the food as I was utterly disappointed because usually the meals are fantastic. The solution was a free meal on our next visit, however I will not be returning to shapla.

Lovely food. Lovely service. Ordered takeaway - very good food. Nice and hot too. Had the lamb and was beautifully tender unlike the lamb tikka

Fantastic food, excellent service, couldn’t fault either, went out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.

Waiter was pleasant . Disappointed from the off . Popadoms and pickles terrible . I have never seen mango chutney that colour before ...tasted nothing like mango chutney ! . Just sweet red wet stuff . I suspect it was from a big cheap catering jar . Even the onions were dry and tasteless. Usually love the popadoms and pickles in Indian restaurants . Couldn’t eat any of the chutneys and the popadoms weren’t great either . Tasted like they’d been cooked a few days ago . Felt nervous about my main course ( chicken dupiaza) by now . I was right to feel nervous ...a tasteless bowl of gloopy nastiness . Yes , there was plenty of chicken in there , but as I now doubted the freshness and quality of the food , I didn’t eat any . Looked for some onions in my dupiaza to fill up on and there were 2 pieces of onion . The rice was also inedible as it was dry and hard and had obviously been cooked a few days/ weeks ago . I filled up on 2 diet cokes and some water . My partner did eat his food , but he was a good 6 pints of cider in . I should have known better . The restaurant was empty . No one came for a takeaway while we were there ! Didn’t want to make a fuss , so paid and left . The worst Indian meal I have ever not eaten !

Nothing special, I didn’t think the ingredients were of a particularly high quality and the sauces didn’t have a lot of flavour. If you are looking for a decent curry I can recommend Spice Dunes in nearby Farrington Gurney.

Shapla is our favourite Indian takeaway in Norton and surrounding area. Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad takeaway from there and have been visiting for over 10 years now! Always great food.

Excellent place for a casual meal after work. Relaxing, good place to chill. Food good, take your own drink.

Sunday eve, fancied an Indian with a pal. Looked on TA to see Shapla was 3 out of the topped ranked so I thought I would give it a go. Restaurant very quiet as we are the only ones here but the take away very busy. Food was great, couldn’t fault it. Byo Drink to so our night out wasn’t actually any different to a normal night.

Very welcoming and comfortable setting. I enjoyed the food at a great price. The portions were not as grand as other Indian restaurants but perhaps that's a good thing with the ever growing stomach.

Delicious food for a really good price! I ordered the korma and it tasted really nice, I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were visiting the area on holiday and really didn’t fancy cooking so we decided on a takeaway. This place was recommended to us by our host. We ordered two starters, vegetable samosas and prawn puri, my puri was a little on the bland side which was disappointing. Then we ordered garlic chilli chicken masala and chicken bhuna dansak, my dansak didn’t have any lentils in it? The coconut rice was lovely and the star of the show? The garlic and cheese nann! They were amazing! A real treat. The service on collection was brilliant and they gave us free popadoms and dips, which was appreciated as a very nice gesture. I wouldn’t say no to this place in the future but would probably order differently.

Firstly, I have to say the food was really nice. Unfortunately the waiter (jeans and T shirt so not entirely sure) was not there to greet us when we arrived, another customer had to go and find him. We ordered some popadoms but once finished the used dishes sat there for over 10 minutes with no collection. Up to this point no drinks had been offered (you have to bring your own alcohol) but my partner wanted a coke. Once the meal had been eaten, we waited for at least another 10 minutes with no sight of the waiter so ended up going into the take away to pay. The waiter seemed to be running that too.

Had a fantastic indian takeaway dinner. Food was very nice and alot of it. Nice bhajis. Collected it in around 20+mins. Avarage in price.

Came back from Plymouth where I live as my friend got married at the weekend. I left in a rush and didn't get chance to eat after the gym. I drove the 2 hour car journey and as I got to Shepton Mallet decided that I wanted some food.

Service was good ,opened a bit early for us! Corkscrew and glasses ready for our own bottle of wine and order quickly taken. Advice freely offered and taken.

Pequeño y encantador restaurante de cocina que utiliza el mismo como el llevar al lado. Comprar una bebida en y usar sus Lidls aparcamiento y luego caminar hasta el restaurante. Camarera era genial, muy educado incluso cuando algunos muchachos estaban "divertirse" con ella. Comida maravillosa

Visiting friends in Somerset. We ordered food for four which was a reasonable price. We couldn't fault the food we ordered and the delivery was prompt. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone in the area.

Me apareció en en mi propia justo después de los últimos pedidos (10:00), estaban dispuestos a aceptar, sobre todo porque me había llamado para hacerles saber mi ETA. La única mesa ocupada en el restaurante, pedí el langostino butterfly king para empezar y pollo tikka balti con pan de ajo para los platos principales. La comida estaba bien hecha y sabrosa. El restaurante y los inodoros estaban cansados y necesitan una reforma. De lo contrario no dudaría en volver.

Booked for the four of us for my birthday. First time visit normally go to another place.Was not disappointed the food was great tasting and plentiful not as cheap as some local competition but will definitely be going back again.

Nos pusieron en un orden para cuatro adultos. Me dijo que me llegaria en 40 minutos y lo hizo. Muy caliente recién hecho. Nan fresco y suave en la parte superior debajo de un montón de mantequilla de ajo, delicioso. Se puede recomendar la carne de cordero dupiaza tan tierno. Gracias.

Encantadora comida como antes. Visita aquí ahora una vez al mes y nos encanta. Plato de fideos. la comida genial y siempre. buena compañía.

I have to admit I have not used this this establishment for a number of years and I know why. Indian food has moved on and I am afraid the quality of this food is struck in the 70s. The food was very bland and I frankly tested all the same apart from the colour of the individual dishes. I was very disappointed and my guests were underwhelmed. I will not be returning and I am passionate to always support local businesses so saddens me to give this review.

very nice Indian restaurant that deliver, never eaten in but food is always spot on when we have take out.

It's been my favourite for years very consistent and I travel and eat all over the country keep it up guys

outstanding food for exceptional value. Always happy to help you what ever you need friendly staff and a nice warm atmosphere

Went here whilst working away, it didn't look much from the outside however the food was excellent, very basic inside but good well prepared food, would definitely go again.

Had a very nice takeaway meal from here on Saturday night. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Would use again if in the area!

Don't want to be too hard on the place as it is fine for what it does. As per previous reviews its more of a takeaway than a restaurant, and provided you keep expectations in check serves up very reasonable food. Good friendly service. The restaurant is a bit small and grim - we were the only ones in and benefitted from a single fan heater pointing at our table! Got the impression food was assembled rather than cooked to order.However if you want a quick meal on the hoof its fine. No licence but you can pick up your booze from Lidl next door.

Food was good, very friendly staff, but just felt the resurant was more cafe like. Usually Indian restaurants have warm gentle lighting, and atmosphere. This was lacking. The room was smaller than expected, and the lighting made us feel get the food eaten and get of home. Being a takeaway it seemed the restaurant side is an after thought, bit like a back room utilisation. We would use the takeaway, which has good reviews, but would not arrange a night out meal there again

Upon arrival i was greeted in a very friendly manner i placed my order and while i was waiting the woman who was serving me was asking how my day went etc which made it a really friendly warm welcoming place the food was absolutely amazing full of flavour i would defiantly recommend shapla to everyone and will defiantly be using there service again.

have just eaten a take away from shapla,absolutely disgusting!!!! went early to avoid the rush,big mistake. I heard a microwave on a few occasions,i now know why. please,please,please avoid at all costs,seriously!!!

The restaurant is really small but nice the food was really nice my favourite Indian and the service was with a smile even on a really busy Saturday night thank you coming back again

Multiple hairs in my lamb korma! I could not tell if the hairs were form dogs, rats or humans lol! But seriously don't go.

First time here with my partner & another couple, it's not licensed so bring your own drinks, service was ok, not anything out of the ordinary. It was very quiet the night we dined and service was a bit prolonged, however the food was really tasty and portion size was good, I would go again.

I frequent this place a lot and it is consistently good. Their vegetable samosas are AMAZING as is their fried rice which I usually have with a Chicken Tikka Masala.

Actually your options are pretty limited on a Monday evening in Midsomer Norton if you want a sit-down meal; this wasn't our first choice, but it was the only one that was open! And it turned out to be fine. The dining room is basic but clean, the chap doing all the service was polite and efficient, and the food was good. Would be happy to go back.

Good Indian takeaway not the best in the area. In my opinion this is the mughal empire in shepton mallet. But with the choices available in midsomer norton this is your best bet.

Ordered takeaway, told would be ready in 20mins, I expected to be kept waiting as with other takeaways but no, my meal was ready. Got home and meal was amazing, beautiful meat, wonderful flavours. I would definitely use again and recommend to friends and family, delicious.

Best indian in area forget sweet chillies the food here is lovely have now got my custom every other week

Good food, very reasonable prices and friendly staff.Whether eating at home or in the attached restaurant the food has always been good. I ordered a takeaway on Saturday for my mothers birthday and, if anything, I think the food has improved on the already very good standards. The quality is always good and judging by the quantity I can only assume we were given our own individual lamb in each dish such was the abundance of meat.One Madras, one Patia and one dansag with two pilau rice, two naans and a paratha all for under 30 quid and I couldn't fault any of them. Free poppadoms and two dips was also a very nice touch.As I live on Church Court in Midsomer Norton this is a very handy place for me and the odd occasions over the last five years that I have tried other local Indian eateries they just haven't come close in quality.Whether you're a local or just visiting the area I have no hesitation in recommending the Shapla.First class.

I have never once been disappointed by this restaurant - or the food to take away. Everything is cooked perfectly, the service is second to none and it is all too easy to eat until you can barely make the walk home!On quiet nights the cozy setting is also very romantic.Would highly recommend for both eating in and food to go!

Never been disappointed with the food here. A very friendly family run business. You may have to book on Friday and Saturday nights

Love this place, food is excellent, well priced and a great place to get a good ole curry takeaway from!

Well worth a visit, the restaurant needs to be booked in advance, especially at the weekends. You can take your own wine, which is great.The food is outstanding

Can't comment on the atmosphere, we popped in just after it opened to sit in the restaurant. Food was great, service was fab, friendly chap as well. Prices are good, can't really fault this place.One thing worth mentioning, they do not serve alcohol, it is bring your own booze!

You have to manage your expectations sometimes. In this restaurant you won't get silver service, it doesn't have a Michelin star & there isn't a well stocked wine cellar. What you find is a small room adjacent to an Indian take away that seats approximately 18. It has the highest hygiene rating from the local authority, friendly staff, you have to take your own drinks & will eat excellent tasing food.We are regular patrons & haver neve had to cause to complain, on our most recent visit four of us had the following; pickles & 6 poppadoms, 4 starters, 4 mains, 2 side dishes & 3 nan breads. The total bill was a few pence short of £70, I think that is value for money.If you require a table on a Friday or Saturday evening it's best to make a reservation in advance.

I love the food here and often get takeaways. The curries are all great portions and everything is cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend going there for a take away. The only down side is it is fairly expensive and the restaurant room is small so I wouldn't recommend going for a meal out there. But for a takeaway it is fantastic!

The take away has an adjacent restaurant. The mistake we made was eating in the restaurant. The same guy was the restaurant waiter and the take away cashier ( clearly Multi tasking was not his strongpoint especially when you have to ask for a jug of water 3 times !! ). Having to clear your own table in a restaurant that seets 10 at a push and has no drinks licence is not my idea of a good night. Decor appalling, ventilation in restaurant is by way of leaving door open :-( . Food was OK bur better eaten as take away than in restaurant.....you have been warned....

Best Curry Takeaway in Town, Prompt, Tasty and Realistic. Flavours are created that are authentic and pleasing. We return over and over for our 'Curry'.

Excellent take away indian food. Friendly service. We only go here for indian food. Would certainly reccommend.

Following the reviews here I was really looking forward to a takeaway.Ordered a chicken rhugon, chicken dupiaza, mushroom rice and keema nan.The rice and nan were excellent. However, both chicken dishes were abolutely tasteless. You could not tell the difference between the two. No shortgage of chicken just no taste.

Really excellent food, good quality, well cooked and presented.Highly recommended.

I was very impressed by the quality of food and friendly service. The portions were perfect and presented nicely. Overall Fantastic day out and highly recommended. The takeaway is also at a high standard. Not to be missed, curry capitol of midsomer norton.

Marvellous food, and lovely staff. Shame the restaurant only seats about 20 and there was a large and very rowdy party in when we turned up, so no room.Takeaway though was excellent!

We enjoyed a splendid meal here - excellent sized portions and well cooked too! The Chicken Pashwari was really superb!

I've tried indian food all over the world. Shapla, tucked away in midsomer norton is hands down the best. Their dishes are all completely delicious, authentic and fresh and the staff are really nice. A real gem in this strange little town. I've tried various curries, side dishes, rices - every single one was sublime. They do the most gorgeous puris too and everything at a very good price! Not to be missed! The restaurant is a bit small and not much to write about truthfully, but the food is so good, soooo good!!!

The restaurant is small but perfect for a small private dinner with about 20 friends. Well served, good service and friendly. The takeaway food here is fantastic, it is looks freshly made, very tasty and not lacking in ingredients. Surprised at a high quality for a small Village restaurant.
