“We were very impressed with the smart decor and warm welcome. The menu had many interesting dishes with which I was unfamiliar, and the two we chose proved to be absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and prices fair. The restaurant was full at 7pm with couples and a young family but, unfortunately there was also a table with six thirty-something men, who were drunk, VERY loud and continuously swearing. Management should have asked them to keep their voices down but were evidently scared to do so. This was spoiling the evening for us and the other customers, who were giving them stern looks, so we were very relieved when they left.”

“Staying at Ludlow racecourse we took the short drive to Shapla. Parking was no problem in and around the town after 6pm. We booked online easily and received confirmation and a reminder a few hours …”

“Delicious food and welcoming service. We had no table booked but this was not a problem. I really never know what to choose so I explained what flavours I like and a dish was prepared to perfection. Prices are reasonable and the service is amazing. Thank you to all the team 🙏”

“Cracking Curry house situated just off the market square in Ludlow. It was recommended to us and didn't disappoint. Very clean and airy premises with a modern contemporary feeling. Staff all friendly and efficient without being overbearing. Nice poppadoms and Pickles to start with then Mrs had Chicken Korma, good but sauce not that thick and creamy. Chicken Dhansak was good, just the right amount of kick to it. Prices are what you expect, shade over £44 including a drink each. Worth a visit if in the area.”

“It is clear why they have been around 31 years, really good fresh food, great service. Pickle tray was great. I had duck, never seen that on a curry menu! It was delicious. It was labeled as medium heat on the menu, I would say anyone could have it without issues.”
