great food ch tikka masala was insane

Food was tasty especially chicken burger and chicken tikka on naan.

I go here most of the time I go Trafford Centre. Every single Time i go they always mess up my order. Today the portion size they gave me was extremely small and the food was horrible the donner meat strips were tiny and they were too thick and dry the chicken donner looked old and it was extremely dry. I asked for 2 chicken donner on naan with the naan separate and the chicken donner separate. I was given donner meat instead of chicken. With my donner on chips the portion size was extremely tiny and the donner was really greasy thick and dry. Never going back again.

It took so long for then to make my food (nearly 50 mins ) they also were really rude when I asked them will my food be ready soon but they I complained about my food and I demanded a refund they didn’t even say sorry for your wait.

I have been yesterday again evening time so nice staff fast & reliable service I had seikh kebab absolutely fantastic taste I love this place. I will recommend to everyone visit this fast food takeaway.

Food was disgusting, chicken pakora was tough and can tell has been left there for a while, very dry and tough. The lamb biriyani was very disappointing, same again dry and the rice grains had a weird taste to it, not sure if it’s lamb they use was slightly tough and having had biriyani from various places this was defo 1 of the worse ones. Kids chicken nugget meal. The nuggets could hammer a nail down, and the chicken tikka was also old losing its juicyness. The only thing I would say that never let me down from there was the drink and the chips. Apart from that feel like I have been robbed. Save yourself don’t go to this place. Last few times I went has been bad many years ago the food was on point. After a few try’s recently I am sure that the golden era when they was boss has definitely gone. Sad to say but am sure many people will still go due to it being a shopping mall, the service is spot on they do deliver quick under pressure but that’s because it’s literally a buffet they pick out of and put in container. Outdoors with competition this place wouldn’t last.

My boyfriend and I both love korma so decided to try here to see what theirs was like. We had the vegetable korma and were extremely suprised at how nice it was. We are down here on a trip from the North East and wish we lived closer so we could be regular visitors. The korma was the best we had ever had. The rice was soooo nice. The chips were delicious. And the naans were amazing. The staff are friendly and their customer service skills were great. We are defo coming back next time we visit the area.

Staff was soo good and friendly . Pakistani food lovers must visit.

Disappointed and disgusted that they gave low quality and stale food. They charge so much for nothing. When I brought the food back to them, the staff replied “we don’t know when you took it” though I took it 15 mins ago. Stop serving food that’s already made in the morning especially naan. Horrendous. This place needs a shut down at this point.

Went several times before this visit, as many reviewers state the price keeps going up and the food quantity and quality goes down. £18 for chicken pakora, chicken madras, a drink and a naan. The naan is a microwaved one and is tasteless no butter. The pakora was just dry and only palatable when dipped in the madras sauce. The chicken madras was a small quantity of chicken in an oil filled tub, no quality. This is very expensive for the crap quality, there are many better places than this over priced trash.

Called here for lunch whilst exploring the Trafford Centre. Really enjoyed the vegetarian balti with rice and a garlic naan. A nice cup of chai washed all this down well. All very reasonably priced with generous tasty portions.

This place isn’t great , I ordered a garlic nan bread and rice and never got them . Disappointed

Purchased a drink from here yesterday and was accused of stealing it even though I had a receipt and paid for it. The girl behind the counter didn't have the courtesy to speak English to me whilst disputing. Service was slow serving my mother, also mixed chicken pakoras with fish. What if she was allergic to fish? I hope this place shuts down, overpriced and service and quality resembles what is produced in the toilet. Never going here ever again, and this used to have big ques back in the day. I hope it closes down and Trafford centre replaces it.

Uncooked food Smelly food Expire food Very bad Didn't enjoy Need my money back Over priced Very sad In Trafford center Got stomach ache

Uncooked .. bad smell food very bad

Very very very bad experience 1st time I try shere khan. I put my all food in bin because I can't eat that no taste no quality. rice is zero not fresh. I don't know why people buy that I'll never ever buy very disappointing I waste my money my time my day 😪😪 I Want to say more........

It's the worst place ever. This place needs to be shut down immediately. I have had way better currys from supermarket. This place has to be a joke ordered chicken jalfrazi and rice, hardly any curry. Just avoid this place and go to chiawala which is around the corner.

Really bad customer service. Got the order wrong and then started showing attitude. Avoid

Appalling service, attitude problem.

Worst burger of all times. Avoid at all cost. Look at the chips !? All dirty and disgusting

Chicken tikka curry and rice tasted amazing! Great food stall in the food court

Always loved the food at this place, always get the lamb karai and rice, but it’s gone complete down hill. The rice is more or less uncooked hard grains and literally a drop off curry with few meat pieces. For £10.50 it’s ridiculous.

I had the shish kebab sandwich. The taste was not too bad, but then the heat came through. Then I had a stomach ache, for the rest of the evening. Way too much spice, and very pricey too £8.50. In good conscience I couldn't recommend this place.

Honestly, this place is the pits! Absolutely rank. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The worst chicken tikka I’ve had in a year! They dropped the chilli powder in the dish , the prices keep going up and the service quality drops every time more and more ! I think overall the food court in TC is going downhill and soon they will all be out of bussiness as people would only have so much they’ll put up with. Shame it used to be enjoyable, not anymore

How is this in the food court in Trafford centre. Avoid!!

Got the half BBQ chicken and salad. Salad was 75p and consisted of half a tub of shredded lettuce, one pickled green chilli, 1 cherry tomato, some bits of cucumber. The chicken....OMG... it was tasteless. There was no BBQ taste let alone anything else!!!!

Hard to believe a restaurant chain with a chef could be this bad - avoid

Total rip-off, £10.50 for a bowl full of watery curry mix and five small chicken pieces the size of a penny. Customer service is questionable also!

2nd Time been to this place and each time it gets WORST! Overpriced shocking customer service! If I could have given it zero stars I would have. The lamb seekh kebab seemed to be of Rubbery and very poor quality, with an unpleasant odor indicating that they might have been many days old. Curry with rice was terrible with rice smelling and only few chicken pieces in it. Will never go again! The girl with glasses was very RUDE! When serving us.

The only halal place to eat from only Allah knows, service over counter could be better feels like being rushed when ordering, but for that price they could of included a drink with the meal offer because the portions are small, the taste of food is alright only downfall is busy times it’s annoying to find seating.

For the last few times when I've visited the Trafford Centre, I've mixed things up by avoiding the usual places to eat (KFC, Mackies etc) and have used Shere Khan Express. I've really enjoyed the Tikka Naan Sandwich with fries, salad and garlic mayo. But yesterday , I decided to have the Tikka Box Meal. I convinced my wife to have a box meal too (korma). Was really disappointed tbh. The taste was there but Korma was watery, chicken was a bit tough. My tikka sauce was ok, a bit watery, although the chicken pieces were better than my wife's Korma. I'll give the naan sandwich another go next time, my wife probably won't.

Behaviour of staff they don’t know how to talk with customers and behaviour is rude they are frustrated from their work and the food quality is poor.

I would have given a zero or minus star if there was any. The guy on the reception was so rude as if he was giving food for free. The food quality was below average. There’s a EAST STREET next door which is far better than this rubbish place.

Food was surprisingly good, super fast service, quite friendly staff and prices are alright. I'd rate these guys for a nice quick solid meal. Also they've been here ages so nice to see them still here.

Said they have finished chicken pokoras on a Monday afternoon 13:30. How do you run out? I was extremely annoyed hence the bad review, not the first time it’s happened

My dad sometimes get fish tikka and rice with curry on Saturdays sometimes rice is raw and sometimes is good overall the food it good

Ridiculous the item I want waited in queue for 37 minutes when my turn sorry it’s not available one girl crossed queue and served her shere khan tharki sham on you

I wish I'd read these reviews before I visited and I've noticed they don't respond to reviews, either good or bad, simply don't care. I ordered Chicken Jalfrezi with rice. I received rice, rice and more rice with the thinnest covering of Jalfrezi on top of it which contained one tiny piece of chicken. They stand with their backs to the customers whilst they are making the orders up probably so they aren't challenged.

I tried Rasmalai and it was the most disgusting 🤮 i have ever tasted ! It has mopd on top of it which i thought was pistachios. It was put there in that horrible container ! 🫙 for ages that all the fat in the milk was accumulated on the top like a layer and was so sour that i almost threw up 🤢 Please AVOID AVOID at any cost.

Most authentic pakistani Halal food Please its not indian food, its purely pakistani food spot i dont know why it has such low rating but their lamb nihari and chicken biryani full of spices was straight from heaven. Amazing simply amazing….. i requested them not to change flavours and maintain the quality and taste.

Quick! Friendly! And hot, just how I like it. Catered to my fussy order. Tender chicken and full of flavour.

Very Expensive, and small portion of food. Really disappointed. 😡

We got lamb and chicken biryani. The taste was nasty gave us the runs 🤮

Avoid at all costs! I made a big mistake for not trusting the bad reviews left by others. Ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken briyani for takeout and when I reached home to have it - the chicken tikka masala did not have even a single piece of chicken in it! So I paid £18 for chicken briyani and gravy. Don't make the same mistake like I did - trust the reviews and avoid it at all costs.

Very very bad experience,waste of money and time.

Enjoyed the lamb biriyani, good portion size, lots of tender meat, and good flavours!

I was famished and wanted to try something new. Though I had never tried Where Khan I though to give it a try. So I ordered a Nihari, rice, and naan. And trust me It was the best indian dish i’ve ever had in UK😭❤️. I loved it!!! It was so so tasty and even the nan was so yummy and fresh! It was enough for two people to eat fully. It was affordable too!

Food was very nice but the customer service needs improvement. The lady at the till was rude and not happy I wanted to change my order.

I had a lamb biryani and I was genuinely surprised how good it was. Great balance of flavour. Very fresh and very generous in terms of the amount of tender chunks of lamb. Really impressed. Better than all the grim fast food offerings that surround this little gem at the Trafford Centre.

I did not expect this food , I never recommended to anyone, the food was disgusting and chicken Qurma we have ordered was only 3 pieces chicken on the plate. the rest was all sauce . I can this food it doesn’t worth even for free . Never try again!! The First and last !!

Wish I checked the reviews first. Long wait. Rice only half full. Not great customer service either

Food is good but the customer service is really bad. The old man, he is very rude and disrespectful. He doesn't know what customer service is.

A regular for years, tried more or less all of the curries..just the service is horrendous..long wait for no reason, also sometimes feel rushed..otherwise nice curry place!

We went on Thursday 28th as a couple. Had 2 curry’s. 4 pieces of meet in each and the rest was rice for the privilege of £10.50 per curry. It was dreadful. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

First I got the wrong order and when I opened the bag my food was everywhere. I could not even finish my food it was that bad

The food is very pathetic, need to mention the chicken they put in any food is really disgusting and of extremely low quality. Really regretting to try their food and paying high price for nothing. Worst experience ever, will never visit this place again. Please save your money and go somewhere else. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, HEALTH AND MONEY

Absolute joke!! the dish i had was a wrap and curry which is over priced(for its taste) ..customer service was very bad and food was not good at all Poor service and zero taste factor and over priced Good bye forever to all Share khan franchise dishes as i love to cherish my taste buds and treat them well Only reason i went there was as it was not crowded and now i know why...

Food was beautiful. Quite expensive for what you get but I enjoyed every bite. Should get a drink with the meal.

Clueless service, worst food not recommended at all

Very expensive considering the quality of the food, happy to pay that if the food was better. Left a little disappointed at £36 for 2 currys and a few sides 🤦🏻‍♂️

Biryani is very nice, they make it extra hot if ask them to, received great costumer service from Aqsa.

Update Nov 2023 Queues shorter, food sadder and service uncaring. Come on guys. A happy smile and fresher portions and you'd be back on top. You were really great and hot & fast! Original review Used to come here years ago. Food was good and cheap. Now it's twice the price and flavours rubbish. Lamb Nehari sold luke warm even though 4 people arriving later served before us while we waited for it! Tasted like lamb stew so expect they go Costco and add a chilli. Chicken Madras like a chilli tomato sauce. Almost anywhere would be better for curry. VERY POOR AND A LITTLE SAD. OH and miserable servers didn't help. Don't waste your money. Tom Frost Addendum The queue used to be long and now it's short so I suppose that says it all!

I came here for lunch for myself having almost been bankrupted buying chicken nuggets and chips for daughter at Wing Stop. My choice was due in part to liking curry and in part due to the fact that the queue was much shorter than many of the other outlets around the food hall. I ordered a chicken Jalfrezi meal box and a drink. I wasn't entirely sure what the meal box entailed but it was just a box containing curry and rice. I'd secretly hoped that having paid £10.50 they might have sneaked a bhaji or pakora in there but no such luck. In fairness the curry was cooked and tasted ok. It was overpriced, but then again where isn't in the Trafford Centre food hall?

10.50 for a chicken curry. The chicken in the curry tasted raw, had one bite and left it. Never again, it was disgusting

Absolutely amazing food is lovely and staff are nice

Astronomically expensive for very mediocre food. Plus my chana masala was something like 50% oil. Guys, if the war in Ukraine is pushing up the price of vegetable oil, why are you giving me so much? Surly, indifferent staff too, who seem to ignore customers they don't know. Slow service.

Very lovely place, plenty of staff. Welcoming, all the food is on display in the kitchen so you can see it. Their lamb & chicken biryani is delicious. All halal which is amazing.

was good but stingy on the curry they just fill the box 90% rice don’t be stingy lads for £12 it’s not good is enough but at least they accept cash…

Visited this place for the first time In September 2023. Ordered chicken biryani which was ok. Good portion size, it tasted ok. Drinks are extra.

Wastage of money, burgers were cold, Nan sandwiche was very hard, bloody struggling to digest. I

The food is good. Nothing spectacular. But I feel the attitude of the old man taking the money and serving could have been better towards the customers. It wasn't overly rude, but no smile, no emotion. Gave a clear signal that he couldn't care less regarding customer service. Clearly he is a worker. But if he worked for me in my takeaway, I would keep him away from the customers. Fish pakoras were hot and fresh. The biryani was good. Served with curry sauce.

The vegetable dish was really poor, I wanted to leave a good review but this was just low effort. Chilli pepper in oil basically. Despite asking for a mild dish. Fish pakoras were okay though.

I have order fish tikka & sheek kebab sandwich & chicken tikka sandwich So when It was on Monday . When I went home fish was not cooked at all . Kids vomitted it . Can u talk to your chef before giving food is it cooked properly or is it fresh . Kids became ill 😷 after vomitings .

food tasted good and spicy but it was 12£ for one naan and butter chicken with only like 5 pieces of chicken. i got scammed

Awful, we got chicken Tikka masala, this definitely wasn’t that, it was far too spicy, my Husband had to leave it, the Naan bread was like a tough wrap,

Money scammers, please be careful when changing food, the food is dirty, the cola is not cold, please be careful

I ordered food from here today. The naan were cold I send the food back. They gave us new naan not much warmer. They put to much chilli sauce on the kebabs. It shud be option for uself to put how much sauce u want on ur food. my girls couldn't eat it. My chiken burger was disgusting drowning in mayo with the tiny piece of chicken in the middle of the bun. Honestly it is the worse food I have eaten from. Never again.

BBQ chicken main was burnt and tasteless. However the the Chicken Pakora was lovely starter., Otherwise would have been 1*. Also so a customer complain about the wrap

Worst customer service. disgusting food. Waste of money.

Expensive food and quality not to a good standard

Mrs ordered a meal and they forgot the chips and drink. When she went back they told her to wait 10 mins. Claiming they were too busy. Lucky she didn't tell me coz I would have had a go at em. My meal wasnt even worth the price. Avoid

I don't understand why people gave bad ratings at this hearty place which serves comfort food, one of the tastiest biriyani in Manchester with generous amounts of lamb, maybe the one who gave bad review has bland taste

Food, price, & staff totally DISGUSTING. IM SHOCKED THEY ARE ALLOWED TO RUN THIS BUSINESS FROM A PLACE LIKE THE TRAFFORD CENTRE!!

We bought curry for my family it looked fishy don't buy curry cause it dose not have flavour it's a waste of money I want shareable khan to make it brilliant it was on eid

When ever we used to visit Trafford Centre.. Going to Shere Khan was a must.. but i guess we would have yo cross this one out.. forstly because of them serving us Raw food.. and secondly when we went there to complain and show him the raw kabab.. the Manager/ Cashier was not apologetic at all and with a very rude tone just said ill give you a refund .. Not going back to this one again..Very disappointed in the service and attitude..

Quick service with pleasant staff. However, I'm certain that desi food in siberia is better than this amalgam of red chillies and undercooked rice. Paid top dollar for food that'd I'd say no to even at home.

Joke! Tried to charge £42 for 3 curries. Then when corrected, gave three take outs of all rice and barely any curry. AVOID

The food in here is absolutely delicious and some of the best takeaway curry you can have. Unfortunately the staff are so miserable and moody I almost feel like I am offending them with my custom every time I have been.

Used to be one of our favourites in the Trafford Centre until they got stingy with their portions and shot their prices up. Customer service also seems to have gotten worse - a shame as they used to be great.

Ordered Chicken Jalfrezi and the chicken was like brown colour like it was few days old chicken Felt like mutton pieces ..Feel sick after eating..had to give that portion back and jus got gravy n rice again and it was so bad...still feel sick..This place need proper hygiene check..They definitely not selling fresh cooked food.

Had a very unappetising lamb curry and a bad stomach for rest of day even though I only ate a bit

Really bad service, rude staff … never smile and that old man is the worse, talks to you like you’re his worst enemy. Do any of these staff have any manners at all?? Food is just average, long wait & they never apologise even when they made the wrong order food .. instead they ask your rudely WHAT DID YOU ORDER!!!!

Bought a lamb curry & rice with 2 nan bread. First portion size was small. The curry was bland and the rice hard. Rice were either undercooked or hardened with the heat light. I had good memories of there food but this is no longer the case. I will never be eating there again especially now there are other alternatives. If you want bland,untastful food & waste of money then eat there otherwise give them a miss !! Looking at there other reviews it doesn't look that it is making a difference to there attitudes.

The fish tikka is peng and the rice and. Sauce on the rice is yummy too

The food was good but the staff are not friendly at all they almost throw the food at you they are a bit over priced for what you get

Gave wrong order. Then tried to rip off another £3 when we asked for naan bread. We said we already paid which we did. Ended up getting the naan bread, but not worth it. Very rude old man at the front desk. Staff eating food unsanitary in the kitchen. 0 stars if I could. Should be closed!
