Took our own alcohol and table water provided. Would recommend.

We had to go up to the counter to pay and considering how many people there were the service wasn’t very good.

We use the Shama regularly and this was definitely nit the usual standard.

On the 'not so great ' side the vegetable samosa starter was very small with a minuscule salad portion. The main course chapatis were way too thin and perhaps the thinnest I think I have ever seen in any Asian restaurant!

A serving of two vegetable samosas now costs £5. Curries, served in small trays barely sufficient for one person, are priced at £12 each, excluding naan bread or rice. I can get similar quality for a better price elsewhere, so I don't think I'll be ordering from here again.
