SHIKARA REVIEWS

Have done both dine-in and take-out over the years, and it has never disappointed. Excellent appetizers and main dishes that have just the right amount of heat and spice. Staff are amazing and always make me feel welcome. Definitely can recommend if in the area

Excellent restaurant. Never been here before. Food was excellent. The special fried rice was spot on. Despite a quiet mid week evening the staff were attentive and made polite conversation which is often missed. Would go back. High praise.

First time here and WOW. First of all the place is amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Spacious sitting area and comfortable seats. Food is top notch. Massive portions and at a fantastic price. Can't wait to return.

SHAMPAN REVIEWS

First time we have been to this restaurant and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service was second to none. The owner was friendly and interested in his customers and ensured that they had enjoyed both their visit and their food. We will certainly be back.

Excellent food and wonderful staff, so attentive and friendly. To the manager/ owner when our taxi failed to appear, a huge thank you from my wife and I for taking us home in your car, what a fantastic gesture. We have used this restaurant for a number of years and will continue to do so as best in the area. X.

Lovely! Had a midweek meal here recently and the staff were great! Courses were served in good time given there was 10 in our party. Onion bhaji starters are super filling and lamb shashlik was perfect. They have a nice bar area upstairs too for pre dinner drinks. Highly recommend! Thursday special menu is such great value.

TAKDIR INDIAN KITCHEN, GRILL & COCKTAIL BAR REVIEWS

Went to Takdir for my bday, food was amazing, staff were really friendly, Nahid & Kamal were always waiting to help. Kamal made us a really nice mocktail and Nahid was always at our service when we needed help. 1 waiter on the floor and so many customers and Nahid handled it really well. Well done to everyone at takdir.

I was pleasantly surprised by Takdir. The venue was nicely decorated, staff friendly and warm. A good benchmark is clean fresh toilet facilities! It was nice to see a mix of people and various staff attending to our table. The food was fantastic, its my children's first experience of Indian style food. Dad also loves hot hot food! A curry that is nice and fiery but you can still taste the flavours my main dish was superb! (See pic) I would highly recommend the venue to one and all. We will definitely come back, thank you for a lovely warm and relaxed dining experience.

Went there last night and someone was waiting to open the door for us, great welcome. My husband was in a wheelchair so sometimes difficult to get in.
