Customer Review Summary
Kebabs draw the most mentions and split sharply between praise and complaint. One diner calls the seekh kebabs and chicken tikka fresh, with a real desi taste. Others report a donner kebab delivered without the salad requested, a chicken tikka kebab sent instead of the barbecue ordered, and a shish kebab that was minced offal rather than chunks of lamb. Close behind is the pizza. One reviewer praises a half and half spicy chicken and cheese and onion with a thin crust, while a longtime regular says the two for Tuesday pizzas have recently arrived with the wrong toppings. That regular also describes smaller portions over recent months, light cheese on the chips and cheese, and coleslaw that was once thick and creamy but now watered down. Service draws repeated criticism: a child's order left out entirely, cold food with stale pitta, and a caller accused of lying when reporting the wrong kebab. One reviewer praises the generous portions and variety. A passerby rushing for a train was handed a free bottle of water by the staff.

“Been ordering from here for at least 20 odd years and regular and it was our family favourite kabab shop but recently i feel its went down hill. Last 6 months or so the food has been smaller potions. tight on the cheese on the chips and cheese even when u pay for extra cheese. I've ordered a few two for Tuesday pizza which is an amazing deal but recently they have got the pizza toppings wrong. Tonight I ordered two for tue pizza and my usual two tubs of coleslaw (btw there coleslaw is banging usually) but tonight it was watered down into two tubs tonight not thick and creamy. So disappointed knowing I'm a regular customer u would think they wud try and keep me happy. Also 20 quid order ur meant to get 2 free popadoms and spicy onions not had them in months but my son ordered from his new account and got them. Please do better shaz palace”

“I do not recommend this ever. It must’ve changed in the past few years because the food I had made what came out of my body the most vicious fluids I’ve ever had fly out of my body and into the loo in my life. All I had was chicken pakora. The onion bhaji that my friend had looked like it was mixed with a hairbrush because there was a long hairs mixed throughout it. It was a very big downer to what was a good night. Also, I wasn’t drinking so it was definitely the food from this place, sadly.”

“So disappointed ☹️. Didn’t take my order down properly so my kid didn’t get his food. Safe to say he was upset. My food was cold and the pitta tasted stale. Usually love shah but this was a poor experience unfortunately.”
