Shahbaaz - Salford

Great food,top staff very friendly attentive. Overall a positive experience which I would woleheartedly recommend.

Not been here for a few years but won a raffle prize at Think Pink and Sparkle cancer charity kindly donated by Shabaz. We could not fault the presentation, service and best of all the meals were delicious. Thanks for a great evening, we will return.

Ordered the Nawabi Lamb, approx £15, it came on a serving platter, the lamb was a grey block, approx 12 cm wide, looked like a small grey malt loaf, must have been cooked by a talented chef, it had every last drop of moisture taken out of it, it looked like it was freezer burnt, the lamb was cut in 1 cm pieces, I picked one up and they were all stuck together at the bottom, like a concertina, it was that dry and hard the chef probably couldn’t get his knife all the way through it. As the 14 year old waiter dropped off my curry, he spilt some of it over my arm shoulder and my friends arm. He smirked, and walked off, a £50 T-shirt ruined, as we complained the young guy was laughing, thought it was funny. If I had the ability of Thanos my fingers would be clicked without hesitation. Avoid like the plague, unless you wear a waterproof poncho, and a chainsaw to cut the food.

What is wrong with this restaurant ? If you dine inside it is superb. I have never had a bad curry from here in twenty odd years of visiting. However if you have a takeaway it is a different matter. They range from just about average to totally inedible and the inedible one that I had tonight was the straw that broke the camels back. Do they have one chef to cook the restaurant meals and another totally untrained one to do the takeaways ? I hate to complain about this place but enough is enough. Am I wrong to order on a Monday because you would think you would get fresh food when it it is quiet ? Instead it seems you are served the weekends leftovers. The popadoms were soggy , the chapati was soggy , probably due to it being served in a plastic bag rather than foil. The chicken was as tough as old boot leather and while the curry sauce and chips were just about ok , I expect a decent full meal for this price. Also that's another thing. If you ever try ordering through Just Eat , don't expect to be able to complain or get a full refund as it's impossible. They are as bad as the restaurants they use.

My husband and I ordered a take away through just eat. We live locally and have visited here many times. Food has always been lovely. Our food arrived in record time. 20 mins. Greasy chips. Dry hard rice. My tikka masla was gritty and looked/tasted like a packet of chicken had been thrown in. My husband ordered a chef's special which was 10 pound. The lamb was tough like old boots. Even our dog gave up. Never again. This place has lost my custom.
