Shiva Tandoori Takeaway in Trafford

We have been using this takeaway for many years - it is one of our favourites. The prawn pathia is gorgeous, really spicy. Also recommend the prawn Puri, lamb korma and sag paneer, all of which are delicious. Top cuzzer!

Oh my god the experience was to die for which I nearly did the host lovely jubilee man Asked me what I wanted It was like heaven Unbelievable

Actual authentic place with lots of food from India. No "kebab, pizza & Vindaloo" but ACTUAL ONLY Indian food place. Awesome Vindaloo that only slightly burns after you are done eating. Loved it!

The staff were friendly and smiling. I placed my order and paid. The food was delish I am due a visit it's been awhile since I've been.

excellent curry house been coming here for years very nice owner lovely man nice friendly delivery drivers and most of all food is amazing second to non always top quality

Rotten, ordered a mixed grill it came 2 hours late, cold and chicken was raw see attached picture, also found them rude on the phone telling us we will just have to wait. NEVER AGAIN. This could of made us very ill if we eaten it, then they wanted the food back and also the recipt. Hmmmmm wonder why.

I know you shouldn't be cocky, as cockyness causes failure. By now you are probably well aware you are the best, by far around, for many miles, i'll explain: service, warm polite, staff that know there menu, speed, always within the hour, presentation. Your right on the ball with allergies, you even ask! Portion size and ultimately high restaurant quality. You even do stuff, if asked meals that aren't on the menu. Top, just top. All the best Pxxx

Great food great price....my favourite takeaway

Absolutely awful customer service, cannot even put salad inside a kebab! Only take cash, in 21st century! Disgusting service, rude staff, will not be returning

Great food and great portion size!

Great food and friendly service

poor Service.Took over 1.5hours to deliver the food.Nothing special, King Prawn Balti was disappointing Prawns had been cut in half? And only had 4/5 bits of them in not worth 10.50/for that dish!!

Best Indian takeaway I’ve had! We had the garlic chicken bhuna which had so much flavour. Will definitely be back!

We have been using Shiva since it first opened in Firswood/Stretford many, many years ago as our always go to Indian Takeaway. It is without any doubt the best Indian Takeaway in the northwest of England, and probably beyond! The food is of top class restaurant quality and the staff taking telephone orders are very polite and helpful. Delivery is always on time too! If you order from here you will not be disappointed!

Great flavour, great portions and for a Saturday evening delivery was reasonably quick!

Ran out of driving hours and had to park up for the night, I was suffering from a serious case on man flu so definitely needed some Indian medication. Had the garlic chicken biryani with a portion of special hot sauce. Best Indian takeaway I’ve had in a very long time, and wow, the perfect cure for man flu. Thanks to the chef who knew exactly what I needed.

Amazing food! Very tasty. Strongly recommend!

We had chicken tikka kahri and chicken madras both curries were tasty with quality chicken would go again

I think this is the best Indian takeaway in the Stretford area can’t fault the food and I have used this takeaway since it opened nearly 30 years ago

We ordered a delivery a few days ago... Great food, and quick delivery too!

Lovely onion baji asked for lamb curry Med could of done with bit more spicey but overall very tasty Need to make nicer chips they were not nice but all in all meal was ok would buy again

Truly amazing food and fantastic delivery. Asked for a preset delivery time and every week it comes as requested,bang on time.

Good food but waited 1 hour 15 minutes and was short changed £1.80 at the front door. Only realised after delivery man had left.

The best Indian takeaway I’ve ever had. And I love Indian food. The chilli garlic chicken is fab. So is the jalfrezi. The naans are included in the price of most mains and are soft and tasty. The chipatis are also v good. The menu is extensive. Loads of choice. Always reliably good. They always deliver on time or earlier. We’ve only recently moved here and have had quite a few meals from here. I highly recommend it. My partner used to get food from here 30 years ago and discovered that it’s still run by the same man.

It’s good if they charge little bit less

This place has always served delicious food 😋

My favourite curry house in this region. The prices are good but the food excels in quality and taste. Packed with lots of flavours and staff are great.

This has to be the best Indian takeaway ever ! Clean kitchens , polite and helpful service but best of all the food ! Cooked to perfection and they will change things if you want ! If you go to collect you can watch them cooking your meal which is always a very good sign

Simply the best curry house in the area, every time we order its stunning quality food, wouldn't order anywhere else

My favourite! Food is always fresh and tasty. My son is autistic and a very fussy eater, yet he loves this place Highly recommend you try this place as it’s lovely

good friendly staff . food was good

Good food at a reasonable price 👌

Really great tasting food and lovely staff. It's also fantastic to be able to see the food being cooked in the open kitchen.

Food is too plain and awful tastes like skin plus it is in a really unhygienic area. Don't eat from here it's awful.

The food on this occasion was a little too greasy. I had my favourite Lamb biryani! Service was fast and friendly

Great curries rice etc not used for a while but deffo use again 10/10 top service A++++++

Just finished my Jalfrezi, it's was so good. Beautifully cooked, really fresh and top quality curry. Mushroom rice was equally lovely. I'll be a regular customer now.

Really happy with lamb jalfrezi and the service. I prefer my food to be spicy, so I requested for it to be made spicier. Staff were polite and I will definitely come back on my next trip to Manchester.

Food quality very cheap. Prices high for the type of food and services they give.Customer service very bad.

Great ,never had a bad meal here in over 20 years !

Amazing , been using for over 20 years. Quick delivery , food always warm. Drivers always courteous.

Advertises as open till 11.30. Go in at 10.45 to get told rudely closed although lights are on.

Absolutely shocking was told 45 mins wait time turned up 1hour and half later. Phoned a few times to be told the driver is round the corner and still 20 mins later no show. Phoned again to get a rude man saying "I was on the other side of the world and they dont deliver to my area"??? Really I've ordered plenty of times from here before and they are based stretford I live in stretford??? When the food finally arrived tasted like watered down slop no flavour whatsover. Was totally unimpressed and I will not be ordering here again!!!! Fuming is an understatement. The staff should get training on customer service as if they keep treating their customers like that they soon wont have any!!! Poor poor service and food.

Never a bad meal in over 20 years. Great food, good prices and reliable delivery.

Fantastic!! Love going here because the curries are flavoured really well, great tasting food overall and sheek kebab are addictive! 👍🏽 Our bellies are popping x

Good food, dansak is great for our children as not spicy. Nice range of food that is tadsy. The place itself has no tables

Ordered, received and very happy. Food fresh and tasty and really worth the walk. Will defo be back. Thanks to all the staff.

Ordered food tonight and although it was a little late and a few anxious calls (only because I was hungry) I must say was well worth the wait and the food was fantastic. The chicken tikka Rogan Josh was amazing!! Everything was cooked to perfection and piping hot too. Thankyou

I have been coming to Shiva for many years and the service and quality of the food is second to none. By far the best curry house in Manchester and I’d go as far to say it is better than any of the big restaurants. My all time favourite is chicken madras and peshwari naan.... winner every time. Yum!

Fairly inexpensive food, but very average quality. The mixed grill I had was basically dry meats chucked into a tin container with no sauce or fried onions to go with it. And the chicken tikka bhuna seemed to have too much curry powder in it, with chicken looking like old meat warmed up. The pilau rice tasted like microwave rice. Not too good with the bowels the next day. So would not recommend or go again

Got a takeaway from here for dinner. Although it took a long time to answer the phone, once the order was in, it took 15 mins to get to the venue and the food was ready, piping hot. It was very delicious (Although it was slightly too oily for my liking), and I was pleased with the quality of the food

Outstanding customer service and outstanding food 😊

Top class.Paul top man give him 10 stars

Top notch....get the chefs specials they are gorgeous

I ordered food regularly years ago, with the same order with the same person, they heard the order incorrectly I ordered a Chicken Vindaloo and they heard Chicken Tikka Vindaloo and would not change it when i asked for the correct order, so did not want to buy from them again, if you are a regular customer who always orders the same food, why would you change it all of a sudden? This occurred many years ago, but my family recently ordered a set menu takeaway from them based on my recommendation all those years ago to try that Takeaway and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. But they should correct their mistakes.

Deliciously tasting menu and warm friendly service

Shiva is definitely my favourite takeaway curry house in Manchester. I have not had a single bad curry from them. Would highly recommend their Madras curry and Tandoori butter chicken. Food always arrives hot and delicious.

ordered a couple of years ago.. and then last night food quality is still highest quality ive ever tasted and largest portions too and the curries are very saucy just how I like it!!. and food arrived faster than we thought. keep it up guys can't wait to order again :)

I tell you what this is THE best Indian takeaway around these ends. Fab flavours and good quality meat in their dishes. Never had a bad order. We are slowly working through the menu! Nice one

One of my fav take outs lamb rogan josh pilau rice garlic nann popadoms and onion bhajis 😍😍😍 no words to describe how taste it is and it isn’t expensive either

Great tasting food. Happy customer

Waited for 1 hour at counter to realise they hadn't even started cooking our order!! We were at the take away and ordered rice, vegetable and dall. They took the order and sat waiting in the lounge to be regularly told 5 more minutes and finally after nearly an hour to realise nothing was prepared, that would be another'5 minutes' of course. Frustrated at this point we walked out.

I would give a negative rating to this takeaway.. Very rude staff.. Made us wait for more than 45 mins.. And when I ask them if the order is ready , they started to cook .. the worst thing is they weren't apologetic for the delay instead they started shouting at us.. would never recommend it.. one of the worst takeaway s I've been..

Only tried the samosas so far (which were fantastic) but can't wait to try a full meal here, based on the reviews and the friendliness of the staff it's going to be a delicious meal!

We thought we would try the Shiva as we haven't tried it for a long time as we are not local. We wasn't disappointed, the food was gorgeous! Best quality chicken I've ever had in a takeaway, fresh, tasty, generous portions and cheap too! Thanks Shiva, our new favourite Indian takeaway! The delivery driver was very friendly also!

Best chicken wings in the world.

Regular curry eating family and must say have tried a fair few in Stretford, Urmston, Sale and further afield and none beat the Shiva. Do have to wait sometimes an hour on a Saturday due to their being busy but they tell you exactly how long and are usually spot on.

Great food always, just like 24 years ago!

Told one hour they were literally two minutes shy of that & they don’t take card payment why is that? Very average, I was disappointed with the veg balti it was bland but husband enjoyed his veg jalfrezi. Delivery chap pleasant enough but won’t be using them again. Service much too slow for me.

Not a bad curry. Staff friendly.

Professionalism with cleanliness as a basic approach

First time customers responding to a leaflet through the door. Promised 45 mins delivery, arrived on schedule with a smiling and friendly delivery chap. I can taste re-heated chicken a mile away but Shiva's chicken was moist, fresh and plentiful with the taste of tandoor and most certainly not leftovers. Delicious, plentiful food and I am proud to support a local small business who deliver a great product. The prices are comparable to other similar businesses in the area but the quality and quantity of the food itself is well above average. Good stuff, very good stuff indeed.

Been ordering here for over 16 years, quality every time

Nowhere else in England as good as this, plus they have the singing chef!

We’ve been having delivery from here for many years, the food and service is consistently excellent!

Been using Shiva Tandoori for more than 10 years and never found a better alternative in that time. Very friendly and reasonable prices (about £8 a head) for generous portions of delicious food. Always go for the tikka option where available

Recientemente pedí un llevar a entregar. Pedimos una variedad de comida y estamos muy contentos con todo. Buena calidad y muy generoso con la carne en el curry. Entrega también fue muy rápido. Sin duda pedir de nuevo en el futuro.

La primera vez que usamos fue encantador, segundo tiempo promedio, la última vez pobre entrantes y platos principales promedio. Novia no soy un gran fan. No he tenido nada de comida para llevar curry mil veces antes, para ser sincero. No están en comer solo, por lo que significa poner en una llamada de teléfono. Están bien, pero generalmente Curries sabor / el mismo aspecto. Lugares mejores (Zona urmston).

Nice decor since the renovation, good food and generous portions but unfortunately not always consistent.

The food is heaven and you get enough to feed an army.

Very good food at good prices. Ask them for easy on the salt and oil and they do just that.

He estado yendo a Shiva durante 20 años desde que me trasladé a Manchester y ha sido excelente en todos esos 20 años. Ahora como en venta y si quiero un gran curry siempre me hicieron el esfuerzo de ir a la Shiva. Su pollo tikka Pathia es la mejor y última noche fue tan buena como cada. Gracias

Huge portions, lamb tikka is amazing!

The best place to be for spicy chicken curry. Loved it

Ive worked my way through almost every curry on the menu and every one is excellent. The prices are very reasonable, delivery is prompt and the staff are friendly. I can honestly say it's the best takeaway curry I've ever had. Im so glad it just so happens to be my local one. Try the lamb madras (and then everything else)!

Used this takeaway several time and the food is good. For a local takeaway it stiles to give good food at a good price

Haber sido cliente del Shiva durante algún tiempo tengo que decirle que me he sido siempre con la comida y el servicio. Las comidas son encantadoras, bien de precio, y siempre se entregan a tiempo. Las raciones son abundantes. El personal es siempre amable y agradable. Nunca tuvimos problemas. Shiva es un activo para Stretford.

Good food and will customise for you. I always ask for light on oil/salt and as always they do a good job. This takeaway has been here for year, that say a lot.

Amazing food and service every time!!!!!

Regularmente nos para llevar orden desde aquí. Muy bien de precio ya que todos los platos vienen con arroz, patatas fritas o pan naan. Buenas porciones de tamaño mediano y muy sabroso y un amplio menú con platos para todos los gustos. Las instalaciones están impecables y el personal es muy amable. Nunca pedir de un diferente tandoori porque este es el mejor de la zona.

He estado utilizando Shiva durante años y nunca me defraudó,

Went off recommendation with a few friends. The food was spot on!! Not a single complaint. Food was ready in 15 minutes for collection - piping hot!! I think I will be ordering my weekend meals from here as off today, as will the lads. Top job Shiva :)

best curry in stretford .balti the best I have had.

There are possibly 20 other Indian takeaways between us in Chorlton and Shiva in Stretford but this is our go to takeaway every time. The food is excellent especially the puris. I don't bother with the delivery service, the foods good so you have to wait.

Used these a few times now and always had great food, prompt delivery, very good value for money, plenty of choices. Recommend!

Fantastic takeaway. Food is always of a high standard. Exceptionally clean and reasonable pricesCurries are yummy

Excellent experience and fresh foods, never disappointed....delivery on time. Curry, Balti, or any takeaway this is the place always come first in my mind.

If ever I want a curry I will go to Shiva. It's the best one around great portions and generous with the chicken.Service is always friendly and helpful. Would recommend going here.

One of the best takeaways! ! Never had a bad meal from here.

I love every meal ive had from the Shiva
