Shama in Bradford

Worst restaurant experience in my entire life. To begin with, the place was EMPTY which should have said a lot, but my fiancée asked me to keep optimistic as the food is what really counts. Let's begin with the atmosphere. As well as being empty, a large TV was blaring out music, distracting our conversation. Also, a borderline pornographic music video came on screen while we waited for our food. I was gobsmacked that this could really be happening. Imagine if we had brought kids? Imagine if they had seen that?The food arrived and the starter (poppadoms and sauce tray) was ok but definitely not amazing. Then the main course arrived, my chicken curry which was disgusting. So overcooked and full of 'bits'. Appalling consistency. The waiter was very apologetic and gave me a Bhuna instead, though I'd rather he hadn't as I had lost my appetite by then. I wouldn't ever return, it's shockingly bad. Can't believe this place can call itself a restaurant. Not impressed. I would also like to add that upon further inspection, the dining area is FILTHY with streaked mirrors, dirty floor and tatty tables and cutlery (which we had to ask for) I've never known a restaurant where you have to ASK for cutlery. What a disgrace. Shut it down!

We were only people in asked for wine glasses came with two pint glasses with ice in??food not bad but not how it should be tasted like a jar mix sauce.I had a karahishould be quite dry but came in loads of sauce nice chapatis

Ordered via Deliveroo. Food took 1.5 hours to arrive (45 mins longer than original delivery time) after restaurant initially claimed they'd not received order. Food was bland - like something from a jar, peshwari lacked any flavour, not even sure how to describe the onion bhaji - just BAD. Don't order from here.

Don't and I mean don't order from Sharma Shipley 2hours I waited for my meal no disscount and food was flat cold no offer to say they would do me fresh or knock anything off my bill don't waste your time on this curry restaurant use another one because Sharma is a disscrace

Food came 2 and a half hours late and when calling to ask for an update the staff were extremely rude! Avoid!

Popadoms, soft, chewy and covered in oil for some reason. ( Even after being sent back). Shami kebabs like spicy biscuits. Good chapatis and curry was pretty good.

Just had a meal here it was amazing one of the best Indian meals We’ve had in a long time staff very friendly couldn’t do enough for us but most importantly the food was hot and fresh and tasty definitely would recommend if your in the area and excellent discounts thank for such a lovely experience 😊😊😊

Very nice meal served with chappati and rice. Menu not immediately recognisable but dishes were familiar and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and you can bring your own bottle! Good prices. Staff attentive.

I returned to the Sharma in Shipley after an absence of some 20 years and was interested to see if it was as good as I had remembered it. Well... Yes and no. My brother and I asked for poppadoms and were given 3(!) which were stale and soft. My three starters of onion bhaji, seekh kebab and sharmi kebab came without separate little salads, not like they used to all those years ago. My brothers chicken pakora was very bland - I was getting anxious as to what our keema vindaloos and chapatis would be like - I needn't have worried, the chapatis were hot and fresh and the curries were spicy and full of flavour. A mixed bag then, but on the whole I would recommend it. Just avoid the poppadoms...

DECENT BRADFORD CURRY!Located right on Fox's Corner, Shipley, Bradford, the Shama offers great food within a traditional Bradford curry house environment...simple, nowt fancy but delicious food thats well prepared and presented. The staff are very helpful. The size of the meals are generous. No alcohol is served. Parking can be tricky right outside the restaurant but theres plenty in the nearby area so its not a huge deal. Average prices. Well worth a visit.
