Very good service. Offered to customise my meal to make it vegan and also gave complimentary drinks. Only thing I would improve is to add main/classic meals which are already vegan (or can be made vegan) so customers would already know what is available to them. Otherwise really nice!

Had a lovely meal at Shuhag a few evenings ago. Was just walking around and was greeted by Naim, the owner, who began chatting with me and asking about my background. I was entranced by Naim’s storytelling about the history of the restaurant and his family’s personal connections and passion for traditional Indian cooking. It has been many years since I’ve met someone with the tenacity and voraciousness that Naim possesses, and his energy was magnetic. While the story was heartwarming, it was the food that sealed the deal for me. Every dish was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of spice for my palette. I enjoyed every bite, as well as the tea and dessert following my meal. The ambience of the restaurant, the friendliness of the staff, and the delicious food transformed this serendipitous experience into an experience I know I will be repeating time and time again. 10/10 Shuhag, and 10/10 Naim!

My family and I had a wonderful night at The Shuhag this evening. Honestly we couldn’t have wanted for anything more. The staff were so attentive. Our waiter offered us various options that he thought we’d like based on what we chose for the menu. Something came out a bit too spicy for my Dad and he instantly offered to bring another option with less spice which was spot on. He left the spicier version for us to try. It was delicious, a wrap with beautiful pastry. We look forward to trying out some of the street food the restaurant is soon introducing. Some is already available but we weren’t pressured to do try it this time. It was all so easy going. We were given a complimentary bottle of wine to take away with us as we were too full for teas or coffees. And we were bought extra poppadoms with our mains for no extra charge. The waiter explained that the reason the menu is so reasonably priced is because having owned the building for many years they don’t have massive overheads so can afford to treat their customers without charging over the odds. They use local produce. The food was quality and tasty and plenty of it. I love the traditional atmosphere of the restaurant. Would highly recommend to anyone, whatever the occasion!

I am not an expert on Indian food but we had a lovely evening at the Shuhag. It was quite quiet for a Saturday evening but that meant we got the most attentive and friendly service. The menu was extensive and they couldn't have been more helpful with my food allergy. Very reasonably priced and good portions. We had a lovely chat with the owner and felt like old friends by the time we left. Definitely worth a visit.

This was my first time visiting Waltham Abbey and we came across this restaurant. Naim the owner, came outside the restaurant, introduced himself and was very helpful in telling us about Waltham Abbey along with suggestions on places to see and the history of the area. We ended up eating at this restaurant and the food was so great! We ordered Tandoori King Prawns, Lamb biryani and Chicken wings which were amazing. The service was excellent! Naim himself came over several times to ensure that we were happy with the food. The prices were very reasonable as well. Overall, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant!!
