The Shemul in Three Rivers

Another incredible curry, we have been using them weekly for 18 months and by far our favourite in the area!

Really good curry delivered within the timeframe by the restaurant’s own courier. Received some freebies with my order too! Will order from here again :)

Friendly management, good food, average ambience. Parking free nearby

Excellant food, good value for the money, Lovely staff would highly recommend

absolutely fantastic food hot food tasted amazing 5 big stars

Good food and very friendly staff. We felt looked after.

Fantastic food and awsome service

We really enjoyed the food and the friendly service. We will go back. 😊

Great food, service and value for money

Really well looked after and lovely food….

Food is always excellent. Definitely best South Asian around

The only reason this got a two and not a one star is because my husband said it was okay but to be quite honest with you he can eat aeroplane food so not really a good judge… we have been going to this establishment either eating in or takeaway for many many years more often with the takeaway. We have had an issue since 2020 on and off we do give it the benefit of the doubt it did get much better last year, but unfortunately tonight was a complete disaster I ordered a chicken shaslik which was inedible with a side maknee sauce which was definitely not what the delicious maknee I have received previously, the chicken was tough and disgusting and just with onions and tomatoes . When I called the person I was speaking to was a little confused as to whether I was placing an order or discussing a previous order?? I really don’t think we will be frequenting this establishment again either in or takeaway. Quite sad really as we have really tried to support them since we moved into the area 30 years ago.

The food here is great and plentiful. The portions are Large and delicious but I think the best part of visiting the Shemul is the friendly welcome and helpful staff.

Great food and friendly service in a comfortable restaurant

Our food was once again delicious. I’m so happy we’ve such a great Indian restaurant especially one that does our favourite dishes so well including my wife’s beloved pakora and salmon tikka.

The food here is amazing. The staff are lovely.

another great meal from Shemul!

My family and I love coming to eat at Shemul. The food is delicious and plentiful in quantity and the service is always top form, with a smile and a warm welcome now that we have become regulars.

The staff were so nice friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and overall had a lovely meal. I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent Indian restaurant,great food and plenty of it

We hadn’t been here for a while but Jemul still remembered my favourite dish, King Prawn Korai. Service was attentive but not rushed, which is good for us. Always a pleasure to eat here. Great food at a reasonable price. We’ll be back.

Hospitality amazing and food fantastic!

Great food lovely staff. Tuesday night is a great feast.

The place is good for dinner and good service

A fabulous meal, great staff and owner. My first time there, I’ll definitely be back.

Delicious food. Great portions. Lovely staff

Was 30 mins late they changed time was cold leaked all in bag and cold not happy at all kids didn’t eat

Another delicious meal served with such friendly and obliging service - what’s not to like!! We tried some new dishes tonight and as always we found the taste particularly good

Always such nice food and such friendly staff

Staff polite and extremely attentive.

Absolutely phenomenal! Dining at Shemul was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable meal. Every dish we tried was a burst of flavors, showcasing the rich and diverse culinary traditions of India. The samosas were perfectly crispy with a delightful blend of spices, and the butter chicken was a heavenly mix of creamy and tangy goodness. The naan was fresh and fluffy, ideal for scooping up the delicious sauces. One standout was the lamb biryani – fragrant rice cooked to perfection with tender, succulent pieces of lamb and an aromatic blend of spices. Each bite was a harmonious explosion of taste that left us craving more. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to offer recommendations. Their hospitality truly enhanced the dining experience. For dessert, the gulab jamun was the perfect sweet ending – soft, syrupy, and utterly indulgent. Overall, Shemul is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in authentic and mouthwatering Indian cuisine. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings. Highly recommended!

Delicious foods and good service!

Excellent experience and food was so tasty.

Once again delicious food and very friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend

Restaurant is quiet and I will never understand why. Its a very pleasant and clean place - table well laid out with white tablecloths etc. Only minus point were the plastic flowers on the table. The food is really excellent. The portions were good. The staff were very accommodating us with their curries The staff are very good and professional. Would recommend this place highly. I would certainly be returning.

First visit and sadly our last. Food was OK, nothing special but the restaurant interior was depressing, straight out the 1980's. Bright lights, grim paintwork etc.. It wouldn't take much to bring this small restaurant up to date and if they did that and upped their game a bit with the food (both lamb and chicken dishes had some chewy meat), it would be a much more appealing restaurant

Never had a bad meal here. Family run and the food is always amazing

Quiet little restaurant, with friendly staff and very tasty food. Service was brilliant and waiters were very informative and made suggestions on the types of flavours that we liked. Definitely would visit again.

Best curry we have had this year and we go to a lot of Asian restaurants. Good service and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Lovely food. Amazing size portions. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Delicious selection of unusual curries that you don’t see on most menus. Friendly and attentive service - All round a lovely evening

love this Indian so yummy, great service too. I always get the onion bahjis, they are delicious. I have tried other Indians locally, this is my favourite.

Always great food, never disappointed

Fantastic food and have been coming for years.we regularly eat out at various restaurants but always come to our favourite.great service.great food and great staff.highly recommend to everybody to try it.

Food was lukewarm, naans were cold like they just came out the fridge

Great tasting food and reasonably priced against competitors. I'll order again.

Maybe a chef change or an accident with food prep but my food wasn’t very nice this time, it was like a bottle of lemon had been poured into the curry sauce

Their menu offers a starter, main, side, rice and Naan for £12.95 on a Tuesday evening. It is clearly printed. We went there on that basis. When the bill came it was priced at £15.95. I complained and was told that due to inflation it had gone up. They agreed their menu still showed £12.95. The food was average. Service was good, if a bit slow, but because of their rip off we did not leave a tip and will not be going back.

Great fresh food tasted amazing and arrived hot highly recommend this restaurant

Absolutely delicious food arrived early and was so tasty and hot I would highly recommend this restaurant 10/10

Love Shemul. It never disappoints! Arrived on time, hot and the food is delicious.

Delicious 😋 Food 5⭐️ Value for Money VFM 5⭐️ Customer Service EXEMPLARY 5⭐️ Cannot rate this place high enough! 😋

We had a takeaway from Shemul one Saturday night. I was surprised how quiet the restaurant was. I had to wait a little while for the food. The quality of the food was very good though, service was friendly and prices were reasonable.

Excellent food, tasty and spicy, all delivered to my door in less than an hour - just excellent service, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone

Very good food, good parking, reasonable prices, cheap buffet certain days.

The food is good here, quality and price is excellent and delivered by a friendly driver. All the dishes we've had taste different as they should and are well flavoured. The meat quality is very good. One thing I would like is an ability to add chicken or lamb tikka as an option to all of your curry dishes so I could choose say a Chicken Tikka Dhansak or a Lamb Tikka Bhuna. That would be an improvement in my opinion

A gorgeous meal...well worth a visit!

Very authentic Indian with the best flavours and excellent service. Would highly recommend to anyone

Amazing food and staff! Always welcoming.

The food was so good. I had Peshawari Chicken, along with garlic naan and pilau rice. I tried Peshawari for the first time and it was very flavoursome. I recommend this. The rice was moist and the garlic naan was tasty.

This is a really good local Indian restaurant. Decent range of beers and spirits, and accommodating over sauce and spice levels of dishes. Starters particularly good, really enjoyed the onion bhajis which are massive.

I hate leaving bad reviews. Particularly here with Shemul and up til now I rate them well. But I’ve called to resolve an issue , they are not interested. Phoned two people at Shemul to complain of food poisoning and asked justeats and Shemul for a simple refund of £25 to appease, it was a no. After 1 and half hours of eating my lamb and rice the room was spinning, I couldn’t stand, my body instant wet. Nausea kicked in, i could not get up, I vomited again & again all night . I understand things can go wrong which by why I called TWO times to simply get my money back. Wasn’t to be, hence review. Shame.’

Ate here on a Wednesday evening, and as our party of six were the only diners at the restaurant there was not much in the way of atmosphere. Service, however, was friendly and attentive and the staff did well to get a large order completely correct and ensure all the meals were served simultaneously. Not the best Indian cuisine I have ever experienced but certainly plentiful, tasty and enjoyable. All six of us would be happy to visit again.

Having a little shop in Chelsea means we get to be right next too, and to sometimes try a few exclusive or fancier restaurants which of course is lovely, but too indicate just how good this place is we both hands down prefer coming to Shemuls on the night before we go away on holiday or at the end of a busy month. Their food is unbelievably delicious and the simple stripped back decor means you get to focus most on what you came for - beautiful food and a nice chilled conversation. 100% the Goan fish curry for the win, it’s so good

Absolutely amazing food .we could not fault the food or the service.outstanding and we highly recommend to anybody .the staff are so friendly and always aim to please .keep up the great work we will return 🔜

Have used for years and always been great food and service, both eating in and takeaway.

I’m very confused with the rating at this restaurant. The food was dry and tasteless and it took 40 min for them to bring our food, they only had 3 other tables. Very disappointed

Nice curry at decent price. Visited here a couple of times and always had a good meal and good service

Just delicious. Everytime I come near here, I just have to order there. The food is amazing and the staff is alway amazing. Plus vegan friendly ;). I would totally recommend going!

Very tasty, well worth a visit, very friendly staff

Best Indian restaurant I have been to. The food is tasty, for dine in and takeaway. Employees are lovely and helpful. We live quite far but would not eat a curry anywhere else!! The Tuesday banquet is an absolute feast. You must try!

The resturant was exquisite and the food was served very quickly but addiquatley it was also very well presented and tasted amazing i would recomend and would definatley go again thank you from Livv

We have ordered 3 times from this Indian restaurant, and we have NEVER been disappointed!! Always come within the time they give, 30% discount on all takeaways, always been more than enough for 3 adults and then some for the following day! The food and the flavours are truly amazing and such great value too. Have only eaten in the restaurant once on a work dinner which was also lovely, but very much looking forward to going back there to eat with the family when restrictions have eased. Delivery drivers are always so courteous and the food is always piping hot, despite them being a 15 minute drive from us. 5 star review for 5 star food!

Best curry for miles around and fabulous and friendly customer service always!

Great food . Can highly recommend

Booked table for 8.30pm and due to Covid restrictions had to wait in car for about 35 mins. The staff were extremely apologetic and showed excellent customer service. Food was nice and it was a enjoyable experience as this was our first visit.

Visited the other evening for the first time in a couple of months and were greeted like long lost family. I have recently changed my diet and Jamil recommend a new dish not yet on the menu, Dhall Samba. Have to say it was one of the best curries I have ever eaten. So if you are in the area definitely call in

Great food and service, brought friends and they now love the place for its food and overall brilliant service

Superb food and services!!! We always go for weekly takeaway with them and its always a great experience. James is the best!

Amazing food, brilliant service and great prices. Cannot fault this place. Will definitely be returning

Delicious Indian food served by a warm and hospitable family run business

Fabulous meal served by friendly and polite staff.

Great value for money, so much food!

Have been here twice now and on both occasions the service and food have been excellent. The tandoori chicken is very flavourful. Great place to go for family outings. Laid back atmosphere but very attentive and quick service. Waiting staff are very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend. Catherine

Having had a great round of golf at Moor Park and a few beers afterwards, we happened on The Shemul as it was the closest Indian restaurant. We were greeted by Jamil, who is what every waiter/host/comedian should aspire to! He made sure that we were happy with the food t all times, was attentive to all the people in the restaurant and joined in with our banter. Excellent so far. When the food arrived, that just took the experience to another level! Samosas you could tell were made in house, The Jalfrezi made with a medium heat was out of this world as were all the other dishes on the table! Net result = Great (unlike our golf scores) Well done Jamil and the rest of the team!!! Look forward to coming back to that neck of the woods again!! Conrad

Popped in after work for a decent curry as had a rubbish day and Shemul did not disappoint! Perfect tandoori mixed grill, superb gobi bhaji and the most sublime chilli and garlic naan. This is without doubt the best quality Indian restaurant in our area and the quality of the food is consistently high. Great service from the family team and a relaxed atmosphere all add up to a superb meal out. The Cobra was ice cold as usual and overall a 11/10 experience.

Lovely food. Large portions.Friendly waiters

This restaurant is now our favourite of not only Indian fare but per se. We always get a warm welcome, fantastic service and never had a below par meal, quite the contrary. Jamill, his Dad and all staff are amazingly attentive and friendly. Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Thanks guys Dan and Rebecca

This is a very convenient restaurant near Moor Park station and we often arrive quite late after a concert in London. Even so the welcome is warm and friendly and the service efficient and accommodating. The food is consistently tasty and good. We particularly like the Tandoori Chicken which is done well and also the prawn dishes are excellent. Not inexpensive for a local Indian restaurant but good value and always enjoyable.

I love this place. My favorite Indian restaurant in London at a reasonable price point. Totally out in the middle of nowhere, but I still make the trip just to eat here. Great menu, real Indian/Bangladeshi food. I lived in India for a year. I am so happy to have found this place.

Its gone down hill but must struggle with no footfall in exclusive area

Excellent food, friendly service, have been dining here for years and absolutely love it. Family run and desperate to please, on very rare occasion when a mistake was made they have never hesitated to remedy or remove from the bill.

We were recommended to Shemul by friends and booked looking forward to a lovely evening. We arrived at 8.30 and by 9.30 we had still not received any food. When we finally manage to get someone’s attention to ask for service, we were amazed at the rude response we got. We were told that there were many other people waiting for service and we were not the only ones waiting for food !! We were horrified to be spoken to like that and let them know how we felt. The accuser did try apologise but his whole attitude was appalling. The food when it finally came was good but not outstanding. It did spoil the evening a bit, as we had recommended the restaurant, and it was slightly embarrassing too! There are far better places to enjoy a good meal and service. We will definitely not be returning!

Had the great pleasure of eating in the Shemul last night after walking the London LOOP from Uxbridge. The chilli paneer, porata, poddadums, and a couple of lovely cold Bangla beers all went down very satisfyingly and smoothly. The staff were attentive and friendly, didn't rush us to order or to leave after we'd left, and shook our hands on departure. It was a much enjoyed, much needed, and much valued experience. I'd recommend anybody finding themselves near Moor Park station to give this place a go. Even the after dinner mints and hot towels were more chocolatey and hotter than usual. Win win all round.

The Shemul is a pretty unique experience. This is not just a meal out, it is a restaurant where, from the moment you enter, you are treated to the warmest greeting, the friendliest service, the best advice on dishes, and the most delicious food. Nothing is too much trouble and last night, for my birthday, Jamill and the team really made it special. We have introduced a few people to this hidden gem now and all are very impressed. It's not the cheapest, but by no means expensive, and the whole experience is excellent value. I can't recommend The Shemul highly enough!

Lovely food in a good location. Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is always good.

without doubt the best bangladeshi restaraunt around .the family who run it get on really well with their customers.not like many places who just give you the menu and just take your order.they help customers to choose and are very informative .i have been eating in there since 1995 so i may be a bit bias

Location, the local Indian and speaks well for Moor Park. Enjoy the food, food service and obviously the food.

This is the best curry house in Hertfordshire... lovely ambience, unhurried service from Jamill and his Dad, delightful food ... this is our fifth visit and couldn’t contemplate going anywhere else locally now! As a footnote, it’s in Moor Park estate but you do not have to live there to enter!

The best management and service you’ll find in the area
