“Always the best cheese burger and chicken chips”
- Ali Hussain
“Went Shahjhan to get chicken and chips, chips were average, but the chicken was disgusting, looks like they don’t even clean they chicken properly, never going back here again. After going here for the last 10 years this place has just been getting worse each time. I prefer it when the other partner used to be here proper food! Good service and never any complaints. Avoid this place. There’s better chicken and chips out there and more flavoursome than this place, also donner I’ve got a few times has been disgusting too. Foul taste and smell has been terrible. May Allah swt guide these people to make food for what they would eat themselves and give the same quality food to others.”

“Chicken is very good but customer service is awful”
- P V
“I came here at a not so busy time. Phoned before hand asking for fresh chicken ahead of time as it is a big order we were going to make. Was promised fresh chicken, fresh fries everything. Despite ordering a hour in advance, food was cold, chicken felt like it was out all day and not to the expectations of a party either. The chicken was rubbery and inedible from certain places which put us off the food and despite us telling them about the sauces. They started charging us more for sauces despite there wasn’t any in there”

Customer Review Summary
Chicken and chips is what reviewers return for, and it is also where most complaints land. A few still praise the chicken and the cheese burger, and one describes the food as quick, not oily and fresh. Several longtime customers say standards have slipped. Two reviewers report finding hair still on the chicken skin, and another describes it as not cleaned properly. Others describe old, oil-filled pieces handed over after asking for fresh, and rubbery, cold chicken on a large advance order. Donner meat comes up as a foul-tasting purchase for one diner, and another received what they called a small portion of seven strips of donner meat after ordering a large. Smaller gripes include a family box packed with breast pieces after leg pieces were requested, no mayonnaise, sauce tubs charged extra, and no card payment. Customer service is called awful by one reviewer and rude by another. A late-night option, with the mint sauce singled out as a highlight, but one reviewer's repeat visit found it watered down.
