Customer Review Summary
The criticism is mild but specific. One takeaway customer found the lamb balti ordered as mild far too spicy and felt they had been served a fair curry, not the best in Cannock. One reviewer found the tandoori chicken in the curry a bit meh, another was not keen on the keema chips, and one thought it quite pricey. Another gave three stars because of the many alternatives around Cannock and Stafford. One reviewer noted a slight wait for a table, which they took as a sign of popularity, and one praised the family naan.

“Consistent high standards and quality all round and run by some fantastic and decent professionals. Authentic cuisine and large portion sizes. Highly recommend.”
- Paul Trappett
“Takeaway customer, collected. Not the 'best in Cannock' I was expecting based on other reviews and hearsay. It was a 'fair' curry. Certainly wasn't terrible in any way. Only specific negative is that the 'mild' lamb balti we ordered was far too spicy to qualify as 'mild'. Seems to be a common problem here in Cannock as other takeaways have the same issue. But with the name Shabab I was hoping you'd be up there with your balti -triangle namesake. But quite simply, we've had better. Service was good.”

“A fantastic curry house all round. Staff are always very friendly, service is quick and efficient. Lots of tables available, not a bad one for couples or for groups. Food is consistently good, both weekdays and weekends. A great selection of drinks too. Would highly recommend.”

“It's been a couple of years since I've been to Shabab and we wasn't disappointed Within a few minutes we were seated , chairs were very comfortable tables a decent size , we ordered our food once we had chosen off the menu , I decided on mixed meat jalfrezi and keema chips and a special naan. Food was amazing , probably one of the best Jalfrezis I've had . Wasn't so keen on the chips , well presented but not for me, everything else was great . Staff were very good , I know people like to see pictures so I took one halfway though 🤭 Don't let those little silver bowls put you off , never eaten so much different meats , very filling ! Give them a go ! And try that all meat jalfrezi 💯”
