Description

A recent dining experience at a Coventry restaurant highlights a mixed bag of reviews, with some patrons expressing disappointment over the quality of food while others rave about the delicious offerings. Complaints included oily curries, undercooked sides, and inaccuracies in takeaway orders. However, several diners praised the flavorful chicken tikka, excellent biryani, and standout naan bread, noting the prompt and warm service as well. Despite some initial skepticism due to the lack of a food hygiene rating, many found the meals to be delightful and expressed eagerness to return. Overall, the restaurant appears to be at a crossroads between promise and inconsistency.

The chicken tikka was really beautiful and tasteful, it had a perfect amount of flavor. the rice and the naan were also perfect. the only thing I didn't like was wait, I ordered from eat and it took 50mins. for the price £9) it was really good and I would definitely recomend

I love this place! they offer ingenious food, they have a rich menu, the cook in this restaurant is well trained, I enjoy a lot of eating all their dishes. eating is consistently fresh and tasty, the service to the customers is good. I visited this restaurant frequently and I was not even unsatisfied. I recommend it to all my friends.

I ordered a meal and it was terrible. I requested no onions in the jalfrezi because last time we ate from Ariana, it was mostly onions. This evening we ordered buttered chicken, which looked like a trifle and should come with a cardiologist appointment. Do not waste your time or money here.

Historically used to be the Shah Bah and for about 25 years I used it every Sunday evening without fail, great food! Tried it once just as it changed hands and was like a lot of Anglicised Indian restaurants one pot of highly coloured tastless food smoothered in ghee. However, thought I would try it again after about 3 years. The Tandoori chicken (usually comes in a foil lined bag and is lovely and dry) was in a plastic container covered in bright red onions. The meat was very moist, tastless and tough, I suspect prepared in an ordinary oven. Mushroom rice was very greasy and tasteless, Tarka Dahl lacked the garlic kick and the potatoes in the Bombay aloo were undercooked. Complimentary popadoms were soggy!
