We were 10 people went there for dinner but it was very bad experience because we ordered papodoms and some starters and also we ordered main course but they said we need to order at least 10 main dishes per person… how can we eat 10 portions and also they didn’t respect to customers We also told them for Heating because it was very cold outside so they said we can’t do that because no customers in the restaurant…

I don't like this restaurant because their rules are not valid and good, because they don't know what is the buttermilk! This restaurant is Indian right so how they don't know.

We're currently in Truro on holiday and was craving an authentic curry and they did not disappoint. The meat was tender and every dish was flavoured exceptionally well. The service was also great, Karim was very kind and friendly with our children. He also provided us with some tips on places to visit. Easily the best food we've had here in Cornwall.

The manager is too egotistical and likes arguing with customers. He is driven by greed and the illusions that he has a superior presence. The only gracing feature at this restaurant was the Faustino l, Rioja wine.

Our good local friend brought us here on our first night in Truro, thankfully! We had walked by a few times already, and the cooking smells were to die for. I can not tell you all the dishes we had, but every single thing was great. All vegetarian as well. There are meat options, but I was following the leader. A day later, we can smell the kitchen getting ready again, and secretly wishing to go back already without trying another place I town.

Came to Shanaz go end a lovely holiday in Cornwall, I have heard that this restaurant is very good and it exceeded my expectations. I tried the chicken panasia which was extremely good. I also shared the chicken tikka korma with a friend and it was by far one of the best chicken tikka kormas ever; the naans were extremely soft and very tasty. The owners were very lovely and made the experience amazing. If you are ever in Truro, or Cornwall for that matter you must visit Shanaz as it is the best Indian restaurant I have visited. Thank you for such an amazing evening ! x

June 2021: We visited the Shanaz after a long journey to Truro. The food was superb in every way - from the excellent starters of meat samosa and onion bhaji, each served with delicious fresh leaves (not forgetting the fresh pickles served with the papadoms), through the superb main courses of chicken tikka dhansak and shom mulla, which was a creamy dish but with a mild chilli kick, to the sag bhaji side dishes and a peshwari naan. It's a shame we live 250 miles away. Truly exceptional food with service to match. Highly recommended. Update, May 2023: We were longing to revisit the Shanaz, so we drove 250 miles to experience this wonderful restaurant once more. It was worth every mile we travelled to enjoy the excellent food, service and atmosphere. We'll be visiting again as soon as we can.

My husband and I used to come to Shanaz regularly around 20 years ago but haven’t been for a long time, so we decided to revisit and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Our waiter was lovely and was happy to ask the kitchen to recreate a dish we used to have that is no longer on the menu and it was fabulous as well as the rest of the food! Best Indian restaurant by far!

Considering myself as a bit if a “curry expert” with a good knowledge of the Indian restaurant industry and had been recommended this venue from a friend in Exeter (Thanks Jimmy).Wow !!!! What ha wonderful place , great service, great food, presented perfectly with amazing combinations of flavour and spice proportions a very pleasurable taste experience in my mouth.Very clean and tidy and right up there with best in the country. Our party of 4 people would of actually cleaned up every last thing on our plates but just couldnt fit the last slice of a naan bread and a bit of curry gravy in. Well done guys you are the best !!!!! (My family is from India and I know what I’m talking about folks) you must dine here.

Ordered food for 6, turned up at 6 paid and then was told it wasnt ready because they had put it in for 6.30 by mistake. Absolutely no apology at any point. Waited for 15 minutes, then asked how long food would be before the manager went and suddenly appeared with it. No offer of a complimentary side or a drink while we waited. Shouldnt have bothered waiting as food was very bland with no flavour and very small portions. There are many other Indians in Truro, would recommend one of them instead.

Best Indian meal we’ve had in the UK. Recommended by sheikh, who is/was a regular customer. Really beautiful and unique dishes. Not greasy at all, and most importantly a deep and interesting range of flavours. Have since recommended this to a friend who has travelled extensively throughout India, and she also said it was faultless !

We’ve got takeaways from here several times, and a few times they’ve got our order wrong which is disappointing but we’ve always been patient and understanding. Unfortunately this visit was unacceptable in my opinion. We ordered a chicken tikka masala and a vegetarian masala, which we drove to collect. When we returned home and plated up our meals, we found that what was meant to be a vegetarian masala, was actually a chicken dish of some sort, definitely not a masala. I called the restaurant and was given the option of a refund for the dish (which didn’t help the fact that I needed a meal) or they could re-do the incorrect dish. They completely refused to re-do our complete order. The man on the phone was rude and impatient while we were trying to decide what to do. Unfortunately we had no choice but for my husband to drive back to the restaurant to collect my meal (which was bland, probably because they quickly threw it together) and for him to return home to a microwaved, dry chicken/rice takeaway meal. They they saw how annoyed my husband was and they gave him 2 tiny individual bottles of Prosecco…He doesn’t like Prosecco and I’m heavily pregnant. All in all we felt that this was bad customer service. We get that mistakes happen and that’s ok, but the way it’s dealt with is key. This left me in tears (possibly more so because I’m heavily pregnant) and both of us with a rubbish takeaway. We won’t be using this restaurant again.

Service was great! Staff were friendly, and informative about their dishes. The food was delicious and the whole family of 6 enjoyed it, ranging from 7-69! If I was to comment on anything it would be to ask other diners to take their calls/video calls outside so we didn't have to listen to what sounded like a chicken clucking down the phone. I Would definitely return if I was in the area again!!

Despite using their own email contact form to book I had no reply. On checking the actual premises it would appear this establishment is closed despite their web site saying the opposite. There is a 'lease for sale' notice in the window . Sadly the demise of a good Newquay restaurant
