Shama - Kirklees

Traveled by cornwall to see family. about 2 years ago sat there and it was amazing eating then and even better than I remember. when someone reads this, they must try this restaurant and they will not be disappointed. when I'm back, I hope to go there at least twice if not anymore. thanks to all the staff they were all amazing. thanks to

We went last night to shama restaurant in heckmondwike. from beginning to end it was a fantastic experience!. my man called and booked a table for 18.30 clock and the woman he spoke with was professional and courteous. we arrived and showed a table-waiting staff were friendly, polite and professional and very efficient. platz was spotless. we had for the beginning chicken pakoras and huhn tikka sizzler, for the main a huh bukari and tikka balti, garlic nan and chapatis. eating was absolutely spot on ingredients were top quality and exactly what we wanted. my man and I don't like paprika or fresh ball chilis and this request was checked by the manager and finished by the chef. the manager was very polite and friendly and offered us free coffee after our meal. that must be the best curry and eating that we have eaten in a long time – we will do the shama, we will be back!

We come here every time we visit our friends who live locally. We had poppadoms followed by a couple of slightly unusual chicken dishes with rice and naan bread. For drink we had lassi and other soft drinks. The food is super quality and not too expensive. Service is very friendly and attentive.

This is the second time we have been for a meal at Shama in Heckmondwike. Once again the food was absolutely superb. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Shama really is a brilliant restaurant and is highly recommended. I had a chicken Handi Asian style and it was just so good.

Not what I expected. Service quite slow and the food not great. I don’t think we will be back. Meat was tough but the staff were very friendly.
