Shamiana - Nelson

Best butter chicken recipe in the country by far and they cook their naan to perfection. Quality customer service everytime and the price is right. Hoping they move to their own restaurant so you dont have to sit in the mall

Bland and uninteresting food, service was poor, plate loaded with rice and very little curry not worth the $10 for a plate. Asked for less rice, the assistant looked annoyed, took a spoonful off, then I asked to just put curry on rice instead of a plastic dish on plate alongside rice (seemed like a waste of plastic when I was sitting down to eat), he looked even more annoyed and frustrated, I apologised for being difficult but he didn't care and left after I paid. Picked up plate and ws so disappointed by the mess felt like I had ordered a $5 meal instead. The least he could have done was committed to presenting a decent meal when I was saving him costs on rice and plastic.

Used to be my fav place but not after today, rice tasted old left me with a very sore stomach

Sauce way too sweet. Bad attitude of staff. Low quality not even basmati rice. Chicken tasted old.

Sorry but this place has been taken over many months ago. Despite trying most dishes it is not on par with good Indian food in nelson. The vindaloo beef is tough. the korma is taste-less. The butter chicken is far to sweet. the nan bread is dry and has no Gee. Far from fresh as seen by the 50 or so on a pile. We expect better. This is not the Way. I suggest you employ a good Indian cook. And try the Good Indian food in nelson that is made by the pros, people will wait for good bread it only takes a few mins Eh. Do better. I am a local and I will go to others at this time until standards are improved.
