Shapla Tandoori in Reading

Been here many a times and they are better than other Inidn takeaways. Reasonably priced too. Their house special briyani is my favourite

The food is very tasty and it's value for money. The owners are very humble and kind. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is always delicious from Shapla but this time we did not have a good experience with delivery - we had an incomplete order with several items missing from our large family order which really disrupted our family celebration and the second delivery to bring the missing items was also incomplete and the food was squashed.

Brilliant portions and very yummy! highly recommend.

Excellent, was delivered as instructed, brilliant service, food was quality, loved it.

was ok but left out the mint sauce what I paid for.

was all lovely apart from chicken nuggets not nice did not eat them

They always do me a special of Lamb and Veg Korma yum.

Very good food, delivered hot and on time, no complaints..!

we love Shaplas, never dissapoints 😄❤️

Madras was far too hot more like Vindaloo couldn't eat it. Always eat Madras but thus was something else so so hot. disappointed

As I am deaf I need to be contacted by text but I received four calls which I couldn’t follow. Apart from that I simply love their food. So much variety, generous portions. I ll keep coming back. Thanks.

Excellent food, tasty, lots of choice and delivered on time

Our food took just under 2 hours to arrive from when ordered. We phoned the restaurant as the app said delivered but it hadn’t and it had gone past the estimated delivery time by 20 mins. We were told our delivery was just on its way out to us.

Sadly tonight's food was over spiced it was inedible such a shame as always had great food from shapla and never go anywhere else. Maybe different chef tonight

excellent food, great taste, super lovely people. very good quality

Great food. Quick delivery. Best curry we’ve had in ages.

Favourite! Very polite and friendly on pick up

a nan bread was missing .but ring up and rectified it straight away and delivered it . lovely staff thankyou .we aways go here bested in reading

Great food, courteous service - excellent

Always reliably great tasting food, and wonderfully friendly service!

Did forget my curry but resent very quickly

The best Indian takeaway in reading by far

Wow! Best Indian food we have had in a very long time! fresh and tasty. Only criticism would be the naan bread was a little small but packed great flavour!

I have never had a bad dish from this place. The best Indian out there! Yet to find one that beats Shapla!!

Great food, everything very nice and loads of meat.

my food never arrived could of just cancel it and I could just place an order in a different takeaway

absolutely superb could not fault it amazing

As always, exceptional food which is hot and on time. Delicious!

Food was great as always. Delivery was late but it’s a bank holiday so it was bound to be busy. I did call and was told it was on its way. Turned up 20 mins late but food was nice and warm. Still a happy customer.

Excellent! Fantastic food, delivered home and on time, highly recommended!

Have known them for 3 years now. And they have not once disappointed. Always giving us extra bread/salad/poppadoms or a drink. The curries are spot on. You can taste the difference in the fact they're homemade. Also, being Halal, that tops it off 👏

really good food and nice staff

Excellent delivery service to my hotel. Friendly delivery driver. Food was piping hot and bagged up great. No greasy spillages. Plastic containers. The food was excellent. Clean. Non greasy. Tasty and great portions. A tad on the spicy side for me but that doesn’t take away from the quality of the food. My veggie dhansak was full of veg and had the perfect sweet and sour flavour! The special rice was perfect. Came with salad, mint yogurt and onion salad. Well done, Team Shapla!

Ordered food online but what i received was worst. First of all no salt in food just flat dal tadka and saag paneer. By the way do you call that saag paneer i can cook better than that. And please improve your cooking standards so taht people can order again if possible. If don't have salt in your restaurant let me know i can send across.

Spot on everytime, best indian you will find in Reading. The Pathia is very nice along with the Keema Naan.

great food, great delivery service as always.

Lovely people but not great food it's a shame 😔

Order arrived missing a korma, this meant 2 orders of bhaji (6 total) and chicken tandoori went cold waiting 40 mins for korma to be re delivered at which point the rest is freezing and u able to warm chicken! Really really disappointing after being a loyal customer for 14 years +

Excellent delivery however the curry was sooooo sweet and inedible 😏

Really good food! Even my fussy toddler has eaten it!!

Started using shapla again after a long time. We had not so nice chicken on one occasion so did not go back. Then 1 night they delivered to my neighbor and I got chatting with delivery driver. I rang that night to order and it was great but last time and this time , 10 mins ago, we got Onions in our egg fried rice which we asked not to have. Then they argued a bit on phone and stated no Onion is in rice, but it was. Anyway Eventually they offered to change but meal now cold and not as enjoyable.😡😡 Not totally happy. But that being said, THE CHICKEN WAS ESCEPTIONAL and food up u to usual level. The people who work there are really lovely and very professional. Just remember no onions pls as I have an allergic reaction and can make me real sick!! Mr Tim. Tot rd

Fantastic as always. Amazing food, special notes taken into consideration, hot and on time. Cannot fault.

food was amazing, delivery quick, and friendly driver. always good.

Ordered for collection as normal but we had given up on this take away previously due to the poor service. Got home and was given a chicken Tikka biriayni instead of a vegetable one. Called the take away and was told we said chicken rather than vegetable but told them my daughter is a vegetarian. They said they will deliver. 25 minutes later got a call back to say they haven’t got a delivery driver and I had to go back to collect it. Funny enough as I pulled up their delivery driver did as well. Didn’t get an apology nor £1 back as the vegetable one is cheaper. Wouldn’t bother going back again.

I ordered a vegan vegetable Dansak and they really went out of their way to make sure it was a special meal and it was lovely but lacked flavour slightly. Very friendly and helpful and would love to try food from here again.

Not the usual standard of food, tasted watery with no real flavour. Disappointed.

food amazing so no problem waiting especially on England playing opening Game at the euros they also forgot a Nan bread

Chicken Tikka Masala here it sooo good! Always consistently good food! :)

Madras was lovely, my friend said the garlic chilli masala was excellent.

This by far the best Indian takeaway in reading. I have been using for 10 years now and I have never had bad meal. Simple amazing freindly staff and 5 star food always delicious.

As always, best Indian food in Reading!

really good. very quick delivery

Ordered 4 vegetable side dishes and naan bread. Each dish had a distinct flavour and all of them were lovely (although the brinjal bhaji was a touch oily). The tarka Dal was especially good with a wonderful smokey taste. The naan were soft and fluffy and the complementary poppadoms were crisp, fresh and tasty.

Naan bread size has been reduced.

Lovely food and better than our local we normally use. Unfortunately it was closed so we opted to try the shapla and now we will just use the shapla from now on. Happy customers for sure. Cheers

1. Amazing people 2. Delicious authentic food Saag paneer and Chana masala is my recommendation.

haven't had a meal from here in a while. so thought I would treat myself. my salad was all warm and sweaty. the onion barjgis just fell apart. the mint sauce was warm too. as for the chicken tikka masala it was tasteless was like chicken added to a tomato sauce there was no flavour. I won't be buying from there again

Best curry we’ve had in a long time!

The food was excellent, thank you! ✌️

After 3 phone calls chasing our order it eventually arrived 50mins late. Only 1 onion salad (ordered 2) only 4 popadoms (ordered 6) very disappointed with the service received on this order

Seriously good Indian food! Lovely clean, spicy flavors! Our favorite Indian takeaway in Reading. The food always turns up lovely fresh and warm and the service is just spot on! Highly recommended

Order arrived half an hour early and was absolutely delicious! We will be ordering again

Arrived late and had been delivered to next door neighbour not my house. Food not particularly hot because of lateness. Food quality very good as usual but did not receive naan bread that was ordered

Really enjoyed the complementary Papadums and Salad 👍🏼

Great food And portions Really tasty and hot Lovely Indian Would order again

this was the best curry I've had in a long time, each dish was very tasty and perfectly made. order from here alot and has been disappointing in the past but spot on today. thank the chef and don't let them leave hehe

Delivery was 30-35mins late. Food was ok but slightly on colder side. Didn’t get any popadoms even though they sent all the sides which was disappointing. Overall, very underwhelmed by the service tonight.

Very poor quality of both the chicken malaze and prawn pathos dishes. It was as if they had been defrosted. Watery and grainy and lacking in usual flavour. Very disappointed as I am a regular customer and usually shaplas flavours and quality of food are very good but not yesterday. I’m so disappointed with the quality of both fudges. The only dish that was fine was the rice

Over an hour late and restaurant just said he left a long while ago - which wasn’t helpful and no tracker !

Delicious as always. Food was still really hot on arrival which is great.

Thankyou! Highly recommend this restaurant as they know how to cook and their food tastes good. compared to other Asian restaurants. we really enjoyed our meal.

reheated food, chicken hard not enough spice or heat

First time using Shapla, my guests and myself found the food to be excellent quality , will order from here again.

Delicious food as always, super quick delivery, thank you

fantastic food and fantastic service

As always best one we order from. Would recommend, been using shapla for 13 years + nice and hot food delivery on time

Always delicious and quick delivery. Tonight was no exception, the food was hit and tasty when it arrived.

Food was fantastic, full of flavour, beautifully cooked. It was my birthday treat so thank you so much. Only slight hiccup was it flashed up as delivered before it was which caused a minor panic at our end and led us to call the restaurant in case it had gone to the wrong place. The restaurant were lovely and reassuring and the driver was apologetic when he arrived. Thank you all for a great meal delivered through the floods

Late, late, late. Over 2 hours for delivery, which was not great. No apology from restaurant or delivery driver. The food was OK, one of the large main dishes was mainly a lot more sauce and none of the green peppers as advertised. The rest was fine tasting, but tainted due to time it took and stress it caused us. Disappointing.

Why is it saying delivered when we not had delivery yet

Consistently very good curry every time we order and all dishes are tasty. Also very friendly delivery staff!

Good taste, good price fast collection

I have given a couple of bad reviews lately and risked ordering tonight, but I’m pleased to say everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and back to its fine self. Tried the biryani today and it was banging, the patia is perfect tonight. 10/10. Yum. Merry Christmas.

Great food - for a group of ten - delivered correctly and a bit early!

Awesome food turned up early cooked to perfection turned up super hot will use again soon

Tasty food, nice and hot. Would have preferred it not to be in plastic tubs for heat retention purposes but the quality of the actual food cannot be dismissed.

10/10. Never gone anywhere else as the food is amazing and the people are so friendly too!

Wish I could give a lower than 1 rating for service. Food was below average

My daughter found a bit of plastic in her food never had an issues in the past

When the order first turned up is was cold and with one of the main dishes missing. I phoned up and they said they would sort it. An hour later the door knocks and they have come with the main dish. Absolutely pointless. I always order my Indian meals from them but I will look elsewhere in future

Great tasting food, and excellent service! This is one of my favourite places!

It seems to have gone down hill. The prawns were chewy and inedible, the naan bread was dry and nearly cold and the sauce was very thin and runny. Very disappointing.

Great food but paid for sag aloo and didn’t receive it

Happy with my food it was lush, especially the lamb passanda mmm.

Portion’s could be little better than what these are

An absolutely stunning meal😋. I had the lamb Jalfrezi which is the best curry I have had in many years. It went well with pilau rice and the free onion and coriander salad. I also received a couple of free popadoms and sauce. The delivery driver was also very polite.

I ordered Chana masala as main and received only half a box.

Very nice food, especially the lamb jalfrezi 😋. They forgot to send my ice cream, I called them up and it was sent straight out with an apology. Most restraunts wouldnt bother.

Ordered a few times from and never had an issue but today the food wasn’t great and we are missing our bottle of Pepsi, called restaurant and they said they’d send it out but never received it.
