Shere Punjab in Wolverhampton

Me being a lover of Indian food had this place pointed out to me by a workmate. He was saying how good the samosa”s were, so on my way back to Stafford from wolves hospital I decided to drop in to pick some up, and WOW what an amazing place, as soon as you open the door the the beautiful smell of the food kicks your taste buds off. I found the staff very helpful and accommodating, I was like a kid in a sweet shop. So much choice and it looked beautiful. The samosa”s were amazing and I intend to go back time after time until I’ve sampled almost everything they have. I really can’t see why people give this place a negative review. But saying that I feel that it could be a little bitter payback from certain quarters.

Have been coming here since the summer and I can honestly say they do some amazing Samosa's that are always full of flavours and rather large for what you pay well worth a visit!

My and my wife have gone to this shop few times. What we experienced each time that the lady as well as the gent serving were rude or simply they don't know how to talk with a customer! It could also be the sales are going through their heads and they don't bother about the customers. We now keep ourselves off this shop. Food are generally alright but not so great

50p per veg samosa is complete joke and several were soo small. Their lamb samosa are filled with potatoes to reduce cost.

Ordered lamb samosas and got more potatoe than I did lamb. Add more lamb into your samosas and don’t be so stingy

23 years ago I'd feed them to my one year old son every week after swimming. He still loves them. This is a great place.

Really good food, good choice and very well priced. Authentic and full of flavour. Can definitely recommend.

Rather than go for lunch elsewhere we called in at the Shere for a few snacks to take out. Everything is set out well and smells delious, the staff explain exactly what everything is so you know what your getting. We had masala fish, pakoras, veg and lamb samosas and a stuffed flat bread, it was just as good as last time and the quality is excellent with everything homemade. You can have as little as you like which is great if you want a selection of things, we'll worth a visit.

Indian lady has no respect for customers, the guy is a nice fella. Please get all your staff to wear glove when hand picking food.

It's in my nature to use rhetoric to convince those I know this is one of the best in the area. Over the years the delights of savoury samosa's and pakora have travelled the length and breadth of the UK with me for token gestures and everyone agrees they are some of the best. Again, today, I travel the Shere Punjab Sweet Centre on behalf of someone else who wants an order for a buffet - I'm no salesman but you cannot fault these.

Been buying samosas here for over thirty years still the best you can buy anywhere. Drive from the South Coast now just to get them - bought 20 today to keep me going

Good service, good food, to eat in or takeaway. Always enjoyed whatever I've had off the traditional menu. Cobra beer on draught. Good to pop in after the Wolves beer festival which is held nearby ( Newhampton Arts centre) once a year. Not in the best of areas, so choose your times.

Came to watch a show at Wolverhampton grand theatre got their early and thought get a bite to eat , Punjabi Sikh food !!

Called to get takeaway for a group of 20 people without notice - staff sorted me out with a huge box of food for £50 - kebabs and bread are fantastic and everyone commented how good it was. Staff really helpful !!!!

Visited here a couple of years ago, decided to give it another go whilst in the area, not disappointed! Tasty and authentic food, we ordered far too much but they kept our leftovers in the fridge so we could pick them up the next day on our way home, grabbed a few sodas and some sweets to take home too

The lady was unhelpful and we were asked to take our rubbish with us at the end The restaurant was closed but we still got charged to dine in Would never revisit and wouldn't recommend

Only been here twice but the curries are always superb, takeaways and sit downs. Excellent value for money as well. Great to pop in after the football on way back to the car. Very friendly staff too. Wolverhampton must be the curry capital of the Midlands.

Used to go to Bricklin st but now a firm convert. My family always ask us to take some when we visit Cardiff. Keep up the good work guys.

Fui a este lugar con mis 4 amigos y nuestra primera visita se convirtió en nuestras visitas a este restaurante. Hablando sobre el sabor de la comida, el servicio y la hospitalidad que recibimos del Sr. Gill y Shera Paaji fue inolvidable, impresionante y maravilloso. Nunca sentimos que nos son mil kilómetros de nuestra casa. Es como un hogar lejos de casa. El ambiente en el restaurante es encantador, un entorno cálido y acogedor. La elección de la comida es auténtica y auténtico sabor de la India. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante. Buena comida, servicio muy amable y personal. Genial gracias a Sheera Paaji y familia por su maravillosa hospitalidad, generosidad. Realmente nos falta este lugar y el medio ambiente. Me encantaría volver de nuevo.

while working late locally i picked up a takeaway from SP.. oh dear.. the worst cuts of chicken in the curry.. rice that was overcooked and unedible/inedible.. the nan was bone dry and flavourless.. never again.. should have gone to the grill in the avion ctr

La comida era realmente buena cuando visité este restaurante hace algún tiempo. El restaurante era una vez reconocido por sus dulces, sin embargo, la comida no es tan buena.

Tried this place after a couple of years using the sweet shop. Excellent, one of the best currys I've had. Even took half home as couldn't eat it and surprisingly didn't get charged for doggy bag like others charge for.

He estado utilizando este restaurante durante más de 35 años y nunca deja de ofrecer comida genial a precios increíbles. La calidad sigue siendo de primera; todo está recién preparado y la calidad de la carne, pollo, verduras, especias, etc. utilizada es excepcional.

Vivimos justo a la vuelta de la esquina y tienen un montón de sus muy sabroso samosas y comida para llevar en el pasado, que siempre ha sido genial y fantástica relación calidad-precio. Decidimos probar el restaurante en la víspera de Navidad y después de nuestra visita no podía creer que no habíamos estado allí antes.

We have been eating these for years , mostly at family parties. We live in S Wales but always make a point of calling in for vegetable or meat samosas and pakora when we are in the Midlands. Can't fault the consistent quality or value for money. We also like the sweet meats which are a speciality. Suggest you telephone ahead if buying in bulk as the take away is very popular. Plenty of other curries to choose from too.

Ten of us visited and ordered a varied selection of food. Always plenty of meat and excellent naan. Take away food always the same as you eat in the restaurant. Will be back again soon!!!

Myself, my wife and daughter were just staying one night at the Redwings hotel near the football stadium and we're looking for something to do, and somewhere to eat.I noticed there was a park nearby so decided to visit that but thought I'd check out any restaurants near the park.Luckily we found this place, and so happy we did!First impressions - not so good, doesn't look like a high class establishment at all, however this was misleading. The staff were friendly, our waitress was lovely and very patient - tbh we must be a pain in the backside to serve!We ordered a couple of nan breads, chicken tikka masala (if you want creamy pink cack don't bother - this is beautifully spicy), Bombay potato (soft and delightful flavour), chicken Rogan Josh and paneer masala - all well cooked and authentic.I washed mine down with 3 pints of Cobra, at about 3 quid a pint, while my wife had a bottle of a well known rose wine which cost less than a tenner.We also got a complimentary plate of Punjabi sweets at the end of the meal, which came from the shop you have to walk through to get into the restaurant.If you're looking for classy surroundings this isn't the place for you, however it is clean and generally well presented.If you're looking for high quality, tasty and authentic food, this place is unmissable.

I've just popped in to the Shere Punjab sweet centre to pick up dome vegetable samosas for our picnic. I don't eat them myself, but my wife, children and many other people I know say that they are the best in town. It is always clean, always smells wonderful and the proprietors and staff are great. Well worth a visit.

As an ardent Qalaqand fan I have yet to taste a better version than these guys do. For me it's the best in the world hands down. There's a good variety of other sweets as well. Another favourite of mine is their aloo paratha that I used to get made on order with extra green and red chillies. Great stuff.

Service and food are always first rate. Food is freshly prepared to customers exacting requirements and as such, when busy, you may have to wait. The bar is well stocked and the Indian sweets are delicious.

Ordered a takeaway costing almost £30 and was told it would be ready in 40 mins. I arrived on time and was met by a rather rude woman who took my cash and told me to wait a minute. I was still there 40 minutes later. I will not come back. Treat what they say on the phone as a bare faced lie.

I've been coming here for years and the main reason is that my Indian wife won't eat anywhere else. They're the closest you'll get to food in a traditional household. We ask for our curries to be cooked in a special way and they always deliver a 'bang on' curry every time. We have takeaway twice a week now and our waistlines are growing in the wrong direction. Thanks Shere Punjab!

Not my cup of tea, tried the traditional chicken curry punjabi style and found it really greasy and too spicy for my liking and the girlfriend found her sweetie dish spicy too. Not the best place for traditional Indian food and I've been to punjabi weddings before it doesn't taste like that. Maybe it's a one off let's see what the future holds for us.

We came to Wolverhampton for the races and fancied a curry - went onto trip advisor and found this restaurant - fabulous place - decor not great but the food and service were incredible - will be visiting again next time we come for the races. Fabulouse value for money too!!!

Ate here on Friday.magnificent food in plain surroundings .don't go for the decor but the opportunity to eat original punjabi food at very reasonable prices. Very friendly reception and service.yet to be discovered by the masses.

I use the takeaway on a regular basis, mainly for Samosa's and Pakora. Always a consistently high quality and a great price.

I was dragged there today on a comment that the food was good and at an excellent price.The was not good it was excellent. I will be going back for a proper meal and will keep you posted.

Hi I visit Wolverhampton several times a year, and alway was guided by my friends who are locals and know the best places to eat, In the last year or so there has been nothiing better than the Shere Punjab , for quality, Quantity, and at an amazing price, As i live several hundred miles away from Wolverhampton, and not able to eat here as regularly as I would like, the take away part of the restaurant usually gets anothe large order from me to take back home, amazing, best ive ever had samosas both veg and lamb and cheap!!!!!, (certain big supermarkets could learn a lesson here).Make an effort to find the place and go there, Decor very basic, ignore that and enjoy the food that the local Asian community frequent. Aslo the staff are really friendly and helpfull

Nice takeaway, average pricing, quick service, nice food. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good takeaway in Wolverhampton! The restaurant I have never been to and it does seem very quiet.

OK, so the number one thing you look for in a restaurant is the food, right? And here it is simply wonderful.We tend to use the takeway service, but have eaten in a couple of times too. Big hearty portions of food full of flavours and textures. Easy on the pocket, far too tempting to be easy on the waistline, service that's so-so but happy, and a location that means it's an overlooked treasure.If you want delicate pretty portions of picturesque morsels then you'd do well to look elsewhere, this is wonderful Punjabi food, ranging from the delicately spiced and intricately flavoured to the full-on heat-infused joy-giving smile-raising bellyful!We recently visited another Indian restaurant for the first time (It was Rickshaw on Chapel Ash, nice food - review later) and upon hearing it was our first visit there but we'd lived in the city for 5 years, the waiter asked where we usually went. When we told him it was Shere Punjab he replied "Oh, that's proper hardcore Punjabi food!" Yes! Result! and that's why we love Shere, consistently top-notch, hearty portions, easy on the pocket. What more could you want?

When it comes to Indian food, you know you're onto a winner when you actually see Indians in there... eating...!!!Situated in Whitmore Reans in Wolverhampton (Leicester Square... I kid you not), it has become a bit of a national treasure amongst the locals and all who have been able to find it; although they have had a very nice sign put outside now.You have to go into the Indian sweet centre adjoining it, which has a small archway inside that takes you to the restaurant. Make no mistake this is not the Ritz; if you're after glam... go elsewhere. If you're after a taste of real authentic punjabi nosh, make yourself at home. The service is laid back, relaxed and informal... what the arrogant would call lazy, but those in the know how would call chilled. But you're here for food, and believe me it's the best Indian food this side of the Indian ocean. Although be prepared to wait as the food is made fresh from scratch. I could go on and on about all the quality food, tastes and tantalising aromas; but I'm not. Get yourself down here and finish off my review for me...

The Shere Punjab is one of those places that has always been there and (I hope) always will. The restaurant part of the business has always seemed incidental to the retail side that sells excellent Indian sweets and savouries and it wouldn't be your first choice for a romantic dinner. What it's great for is parties and special occasions with a larger group of people.About a dozen of us turned up and we had booked a buffet as if you turn up and order when you arrive you can be in for a long wait. The atmosphere was very relaxed and informal as usual and the poppadums and starters arrived in a steady stream, all very tasty. The main dishes that followed were nice but rather plain compared to the first course, accompanied by a good selection of naans and rice.To top it off I was surprised that the Cobra larger was very drinkable but if you're not keen on that the options are limited. The service was friendly, informal and efficient. All in all a great night out - especially if your group brings its own atmosphere!

Amazing food and excellent value for money. We wouldn't go anywhere else now we've found this place.

Been going to this restaurant since it first opened and in all those years the quality of the food has never faltered; it has the same sublime taste as its predecessing years. I'm a regular here due to its reasonable prices and delicious food.

Have been using the Shere Punjab for my samosa's and shish kebabs for the last 20years,Now live the other side of Stafford and still travel down when we need indian starters,48 mile round trip and worth every inch,NEVER had a bad samosa or kebab!!My Sister lives in Portsmouth and brings a shopping list up now for her and her friends!!KEEP IT UP BOYS 10/10

Dropped by early on a midweek evening, entered via the adjacent (busy!) sweet centre. I was the only diner, so the service was pretty good.My king prawn dish and veg accompaniments were very tasty - and not swimming in Ghee! Prices were reasonable, and the draft Cobra slipped own a treat, too. I'd return if in the area again

Good food but poor service...value for money and great choice

Consistently the best curries I’ve ever tasted; and I’ve had a lot! The Shere Punjab now looks a bit more inviting from the outside (it used to look like a haunted laundrette); but that really doesn’t matter on this occasion as it’s always been cosy enough inside – and now has a bit more polish, paint and colour to the interior – and (most importantly of all) the food in here is so delicious and authentic that it would be worth a visit even of there were no roof!The people you’re most likely to see at the tables within are usually from the local Asian and Italian communities: what does that tell you? Further endorsement comes to you courtesy of my wife, who had to be dragged in one night several years back – and from her first mouthful of food declared this to be one of the true sites of sheer bliss on the planet, in terms of charming service and quite astonishingly fine dining without the slightest hint of pretence and actually in as down-to-Earth a setting as you’re going to discover.From me: well, you will never eat a tastier or fresher madras, vindaloo or dopiaza (all house specialities – which also include the magnificent Desi Chili Chicken, which you have to specify as it’s not officially on the menu but you won’t be sorry you did, Desi being a fabulously sticky Punjabi liqueur which interacts amazingly with the scorching chicken). The poppadums, chapatis, kulchas and nan breads (the peshwar in particular) are similarly fresh and exquisite: as is every constituent of the heroic “mix grill,” in which different components are subtly, differently and beautifully spiced. If you knew me you would understand what a true dream destination this is for me!We have friends who travel miles to get the keema (minced lamb) chana (chick-pea) mushroom (...yes) balti (incredible) and fit in a visit to us as a secondary mission! Plus, together we once ventured to request a keema vindaloo; which turned out to be a wonderful revelation and is now on the menu! It’s hot, of course; but the heat is in the flavour, the sensationally strong, steely taste – as opposed to simply being in there as some Napalm-derivative to excite the kind of morons that see this sublime food as some sort of testosterone challenge (and whom you will never see in the Shere Punjab, I promise).The place does a deserved roaring trade in take-aways, similarly world-class: but do dine in, as this is one of those places which feels like you’ve been headed here all your life once you get here – that’s basically because you may think you’ve had great curries in the past (and probably have, it is a lovely food-stuff and there are plenty of great places...) but, honestly if you’ve not had a Shere Punjab curry you can never be quite as addicted to this classic cuisine as you imagine you are. And I actually envy you, ‘cause now you’ve hopefully got the marvel of your first visit (of many, I’ll bet) ahead of you.
