What JuliaN2849 likes about Shobab:
We are thrilled that this restaurant is now open for indoor dining. Although we have not tried their takeout food, we have dined here multiple times as a couple and with friends. Each time, the food has been outstanding from beginning to end. The onion bhajis are excellent, the curries and side dishes are wonderful, and the freshly made naan breads are delightful. We are thankful to have such a fantastic Indian resta... View all feedback. What jwillia doesn't like about Shobab:
Takeaway and what a disappointment The meat was inedible it was expensive waste of money. The flavours were exceptional so the chef they have is good but the meat they are using is terrible and we literally fished out all meat and binned. The onion hajis were also a bit odd and tasted commercial rather than hand made. So disappointed for what we paid. will not be using again View all feedback.

Shobab, primarily a takeaway restaurant, has garnered mixed reviews from patrons. While many appreciate the exceptional flavors crafted by the chef, concerns arise over the quality of ingredients, particularly tough meat and overly sweet dishes. Some diners report inconsistent service, with delays and subpar starters, leading to disappointment. However, the venue’s recent transition to indoor dining has rekindled enthusiasm, with many praising the vibrant atmosphere and quality offerings, including standout onion bhajis and delightful curries. As Shobab navigates its identity, it remains clear that a commitment to quality is crucial for its future success.
