My family LOVES this place. Our forever favourite Indian restaurant and we live 45 minutes away. Yet Shafiq's is always top of the list for special occasion dinners like birthdays. In the years we have been coming here I don't think I've ever had a dish disappoint me, somehow everything just tastes sooooo good.
I recommend the bahji and the chicken korma 🤤

Our meal was amazing. I came with a group of 6 people and we all ordered a dish each and shared them amongst eachother. Everything was very reasonably priced especially for what you received. The environment was amazing, and the service was just as good.
