Shensha Balti and Tandoori Indian Restaurant in Aylesbury Vale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Eaten at Shensha many times over the years. Waiters have always been pretty miserable but this time they were downright rude! Every time they were spoken to, they completely ignored us. No greeting on arrival. Requested popadoms - no response. Requested water for the table - water came in a pint glass - no extra glasses. When our meal was finished, we ordered a meal to take home for our unwell son, told the waiter all of this and he completely blanked us. He went away, returned very quickly with the takeaway order, plonked it on the table, said nothing and did not give us the bill. We waited for about 10 attempting to ask for the bill. Eventually got up and paid on our way out. Unbelievable behaviour - will not return!

Good food and service at a very good price. Don't forget it's a 'bring your own'.

sauce was lovely but the chicken was a bit dry

Fantastic Chicken Tikka Boona, loved it 😋

Good food , really enjoyed my take way , and they were very quick too

Food was late and they implied on the app it has been delivered in time and it still hadn't been delivered. So i would advise if you dont want to wait a ages for cold food don't use shensha. I would give zero stars if possible.

A delicious meal. Thank you Shensha

Super tasty meal. Will definitely use Shensha again.

Food was great - delivery driver was very friendly

Worse food I’ve ever had. The lamb was really tough and tasted like it was week old. The rice was undercooked. It was disgraceful. What a waste of money.

Food was nice Good service friendly staff

Yesterday I have ordered popadoms with my food. The popadoms must have been done in very old , bad oil as they tasted and smelled so bad🙁🙁

fantastic service and delicious food. thoroughly enjoyed

Food was cold, lamb was too tough to eat, 2x missing items

We have been ordering from here for years. Our favourite Indian takeaway. always on time if not early and food is delicious!

Amazing food and lots of options, wonderful staff and great environment.

The delivery driver from the restaurant dumped my food behind the desk a reception and left without telling me he had delivered it. I had a phone call asking me why I wasn't in reception waiting to collect the food. In the end, my food was collected late and cold because they failed to follow the delivery instructions which was to call me when they arrived.

Had a terrific meal here. Dined at this place many times previously and always happy with it. Service and food really good. Pretty good value too although prices have (like everywhere else) jumped up a bit recently. Overall a great place and highly recommended.

Amazing food, great quick delivery, first time but would highly recommend!

Very nice meal nothing left on everybody's plate

If you want to wait 2 hours for mediocre food go to Shensha Absolutely terrible experience 15 of us 7 teens didn’t even take a drinks order for 30mins then they are too busy sending Uber eats orders out the door to care for their restaurant clients Food was served at 9pm when we sat at 7pm Food was meh lukewarm Did complain in the restaurant no care at all was given so yeah avoid

Party of 15 including 7 teens did not eat for 2 hours after we were seated the food was mediocre at best They were too busy sending out Uber deliveries to care for the restaurant clientele AVOID !!! Did actually complain on the night but they really didn’t care AVOID

Probably the worst Indian food I have ever had and that includes microwave ready meals Rude staff food bland Wish I had took my own alcohol drink with me as it would have been the best part of the meal.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices.

The food was average but the problem I had was with the service. Although the place was almost empty, my friend and I were squashed onto a tiny table for 2 with no room to move. There was absolutely no reason not to give us a bigger table. The main course was served before we had finished our popadoms and pickle and there was nowhere to put anything. The waiter, for some reason, took against us and was sarcastic to the point of rudeness. We were not offered the dessert menu or coffee. All in all a very, very odd experience.

Most staff were rude, obnoxious and pushy. We were not offered poppadoms and rushed to make our order. We waited a long time for food and it was ‘ok’, nothing special. Will not be returning.

We ordered from this restaurant as a takeaway, food was good Bombay potatoes were delicious but the tikka masala in our opinion needed a little more in portion size and some more sweetness or spice something it was a little flavourless everything else was delicious.

Tasty and plentiful, will use again. Recommended.

great staff. never a problem with the food

I had the opportunity to have some food at Shensha with a group of friends recently. It was the first time I had been there in some time. Despite the large number at the table, the staff looked after our every need and made sure that everyone had what they needed. The menu is quite broad but there were enough options to satisfy most appetites and spice levels. I went for one of the specials and was not disappointed by the results. The portions are very good, resulting in me feeling really rather full by the end of the meal. In terms of drinks this is a BYO (Bring your own) alcoholic drinks restaurant and they do sell soft drinks if needed. The staff were attentive and kept themselves busy even though the restaurant was only half full. (We went on a weekday). I would happily go there again when the next opportunity arises. As a special note, parking is available at the restaurant but behind it. However, you MUST register the vehicle registration at the reception desk. The staff are really helpful regarding questions about this. Overall a great experience and the food was excellent for the price point.

No idea how this place gets the ratings it does? Saag Balti had a sort of creamy texture that has left me feeling so bloated. The kebab starter had 3 kebabs, 2 quite average for spice and one where it blew your head off. Bombay potato was really bland. Pilau rice was OK. Won’t be ordering again, I am afraid.

Went as a family of 4 on a Friday (2 adults / 2 kids). The food had minimum taste and the chicken was of very poor quality. Really disappointed

Excellent food delivered on time

The chicken was overcooked and lamb was very tuff. Food arrived luke warm.

Very kind-hearted, Mr .J G.. Good food &well high quality food for vegetarian, yes will visit again & again.Thanks

Quick efficient delivery, very tasty food and great serving size. Would highly recommend 👌

The food was really lovely and was delivered hot. The delivery person was really friendly too. The naan bread is massive which was a fun surprise!

Third time from ordering here as bee great but so disappointed. Only part of order they got right was naan bread and curry cocktail! Did not order mushroom rice or samosas and what we got did not add up to anywhere near what we paid. Very disappointed as thought we had found our “go to” Indian takeaway

Excellent service and good food

It was my birthday yesterday, have to say that is was one of the best curry's i have ever eaten. We all thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you

Don't no why the bad reviews my food was good and the price is amazing will order again 😀

Always on time or early, friendly delivery men, food is always good quality and hot, I never order from a different Indian!

Lovely night out, great food, fragrant baltis, extremely tasty lamb sagarana, onion bhajees, samoas, prawn on puri. Great service and lovely ambience.

Very quick delivery! also was satisfied with the portion sizes and overall quality of the food.

Food was ok, but not what we ordered. We ordered chicken curry but we received something else, not sure exactly what. It had lamb and chicken meat in it.

Poppadoms a little stale but otherwise excellent

Good is great but £8 delivery puts me off ordering more

Great service and food. I ordered a pick up for one. It was very delicious

Delicious food, wonderful polite and friendly delivery. Thank you!

Lovely meals, really enjoyed it and a very nice driver! Thank you

Was disappointed with my visit tonight with my friend from Brazil. I took her there 4 years ago and was so impressed we went again. Food was not upto the same standard. Korma was bland and the sauce was watery. Makhani not quite so bad. Chicken tasted nasty. Not all members of staff were polite. To top it all we had to bag up our pwn leftovers to take home. Unbelievable, never been to an Indian Restaurant where we had to do that! Won't be going back

Chicken tikka masala very salty but other than that was ok

Lovely food. Lots of dishes to choose from.

Ordered the chicken jalfrezi curry and it was so full of flavour! Will definitely be ordering more from here ◡̈

Fantastic food, lovely staff. Have been here many times and NEVER been disappointed, would always recommend going here.

The food was great. Have been going there for over 30 years….

Overall was really nice. Didn't like the lamb tikka at all though, they've changed it for some reason, it was incredibly dry, brown, bland and had a weird texture. Was let down by this.

Brilliant food,loved the whole order highly recommended

Had a takeaway tonight. As always food was good. Staff polite. Never had bad food.Use apx once a month.

Absolutely amazing food. I am heavily pregnant and have been craving a good curry for a long time. This food truly hit the spot. Delivery was fast and very polite driver.

I ordered food from this restaurant on Uber eats; I ordered chicken biryani, saag paneer and aloo gobi paneer. The chicken biryani was just dry stale boiled rice with cubes of something really rubbery, I think it’s supposed to be chicken. It would be pushing it to say it was a pulao, let alone a biryani! Both saag paneer and aloo gobi paneer, had no paneer in it! Instead they added mozzarella cheese and it was disgusting! All the dishes were soo oily and disgusting that I ended up binning it all and not eating it! I think this is the worst Indian food I have ever ate! Also, I think I got food poisoning from whatever little bits I tried.

Great service and great food. I ordered not realising there was an hour wait as we were going out. I spoke to them and they delivered half hour earlier. Highly recommend.

Food overall was really good. Unfortunately, the Tika Masala had too many onions and stringy herbs in it, first time it's been like that though, but won't be buying it again.

Excellent food. Great friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening

My new favourite Indian takeaway! Food came hot and tasty, good portion size too!

Would give Shen Sha a massive vote of confidence!

Excellent service and very tasty food!

Best Indian we have had in Aylesbury for a long time. Really tasty food delivered within the expected time frame. Will definitely order again. Thank you 😊

Great service. Excellent meal enjoyed by all 👍

Fresh tasty meal and great customer service

Nice people the food is very good thanks guys.

Food is always on point and good quality 👌

Amazing food and very friendly delivery driver

Last Saturday me and my family came for my 50th birthday 🎈🎂🎈 which was a fabulous night the food was amazing my family are regularly come to the restaurant for meals

As always first class tasty food

Usually the food is incredible, but unfortunately they dropped the ball tonight. The chicken tika masala was incredibly oily and the chicken didn't taste overly fresh/was too firm. Chicken tika starter also didn't taste as it usually does. It happens, but unfortunately it happened on a night where I really needed some feelgood food.

Both curries too spicy. Raita and onions mixed together which was weird. Not the best curry at all

Very pleased with the service and food.

Chicken briyani with minimal tiny chicken cubes in it. Dishes really bland. Portions really small. Will never order again!

I used to love getting takeaways fron the Shensha. The flavours in my favourite dishes were always consitent from one month to the next. However, I don't know if something's changed behind the scenes but it's now a lottery. I'm going to have to start looking elsewhere. Sorry Shensha, it was nice while it lasted.

Nice indian restaurant with good quality of food. Don't forget to order prawns puri. They don't serve liquor but you can bring your own.

Always delicious, always fresh and the staff are lovely and polite

Rude members of staff, arrogant. Not very helpful when a member of our party has a food allergy. Made atmosphere uncomfortable. Very nice food though.

Top quality meal with great friendly service. Highly recommended 👍

Food was incredible and service on delivery was amazing.

I really like this restaurant and order from them frequently

Always tasty meals from Shensha!

Nice food n place. Specifically they have parking too.

Curries absolutely swimming in oil, like half sauce half oil floating on top, looked so rank couldn't eat it, ended up having some toast and crisp.

Best Indian takeaway in Aylesbury!

An absolutely amazing curry! Food arrived piping hot within the time allocated. All the dishes ordered were delicious and flavourful. The delivery driver was a very happy, friendly man who helped to start the beginning of a beautiful curry night at home. Will definitely order from here again.

One of my favourite balti houses in the area nice friendly relaxed environment even though It was busy the staff very happy and friendly

Great food and friendly driver!

The food was fresh and delicious as always.

Picked up £60 fine for parking in the restaurant car park when attending the restaurant. Not sure what that's all about but won't be paying it or visiting this restaurant again!

Food was superb as always. Delivery time was longer than usual but as it was New Year’s Eve that was only to be expected

Great quality food, everything was hot and fresh. Delivery time was quick too, would definitely order again

There were missing items but they were sent incredibly quick and it didn't impact the meal at all. Very good food and customer service, delivery driver was awesome too.

Food arrived with 2 dishes missing. I called the restaurant straight away and they sent out the missing food without question and we're really apologetic about it.

Forgotten how amazing food is. Tried the rest came back to the best
