Description

Step into Shapla and step into the heart of Armagh’s most flavour-forward Indian kitchen. At Shapla, spices are treated like a craft and every plate is composed so individual sauces and textures shine — from crisp, freshly fried pakoras and fragrant pilau rice to smoky tandoori and fiery Madras. The menu balances generous classics with thoughtful vegetarian and gluten-free choices, while a modest wine selection and kid-friendly dishes mean everyone at the table leaves happy. Warm, inviting and proudly unpretentious, Shapla serves memorable meals that feel like a homecoming for curry lovers and curious diners alike.

So I have been a loyal customer at this place for years. Sadly, I have been let down so many times with late deliveries bad attitude when I call to enquire where my food is (usually an hour late). I kept going to them as felt there was not a decent Indian in Armagh. I’m done now, I will NOT give this restaurant any more time or money. I have been let down again service is awful, food was good now just ok customer service is absolutely appalling!!!!!!

Experience was absolutely terrible. Kebab arrived and chicken was chopped up like baby food. The naan it was in was like a wet nappy. Absolutely the worst kebab in Armagh by a mile. Had a bad donor from here too so I chose the chicken and it was a very bad decision. When I phoned to complain it was brushed off like it was my fault . Joke of an establishment. The restaurant do lovely food when you sit in but the takeaway, nope. Will never order from them again.
