Our friends absolutely love Shah Restaurant and have been wanting us to try it for a while, so we finally went together. It’s a small, no-frills place with a very basic setup–but honestly, the food is what truly matters here.
We ordered chicken seekh kabab, chicken tandoori, chicken kadhai, along with garlic naan and butter rotis.
The chicken seekh kababs were juicy, but they had a very strong and slightly off-putting turmeric flavor. It felt like there was a bit too much turmeric, which overpowered the other spices and slightly ruined the overall taste for me.
However, the chicken tandoori completely made up for it. It was juicy, spicy, and perfectly charred–exactly how a good tandoori should be.
The highlight for me was the chicken kadhai. Usually, I find chicken kadhai to be too tomato-heavy and overly tangy for my liking, but this one was perfectly balanced. The flavors were rich without being overpowering, and paired with the soft garlic naan and fresh tandoori roti, it was an absolute delight.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit. Despite the simple ambience, the quality of the food shines through. We’ll definitely be going back to try more dishes from the menu.

Good takeout experience. One chicken sheeh kabab and one chicken tandoori breast. Made fresh. Good portion size. The soda is a bit expensive at $2 a can and $4.50 a glass bottle, but it is nice and cold.

Amazing food, good quantity and one of the few good places that is open till late. I keep coming back here consistently, after having tried multiple other places. One of my favorites.
Love the garlic naan and tandoori roti (great texture and flavor) with Achari murgh. The tandoori chicken breast is the best one I have had so far.
They offer complimentary chai which is also very good (light spices with no sugar) Love that it has no sugar added to it already.

One of the go to Sunnyvale restaurant for me for consistent quality, quantity and friendly atmosphere. I had take outs and dine in several times. My all time favorites, chicken leg quarters, aachari murgh/chicken, naan, chicken seekh and chicken karahi. More of self service style to place the order at counter and they deliver food to the table. It’s not great ambience but decent enough to take your family. I highly recommend dine in for first time. Parking can be challenging on weekends but try to find it towards Dominos side.

Those nights when you are out with friends and looking for satisfying food, this place always comes up in suggestions. Open till 3 am on weekends, this place serves authentic Indian/Pakistani flavors. Naan is well cooked which is kind of a deciding factor for me to know if the place is good or not. Complimentary tea is also available.
Ambience is not that great, so no high hopes there. Service time is quick.

I had the pleasure of dining at Shah Restaurant recently, and it left quite an impression. Their late-night service, open till 1 am, is a convenient bonus. We ordered a delightful array of dishes, including paneer masala with garlic naan, chicken sheekh kabob, palak chicken, and chicken biryani.
While the ambience was decent, it was the food that truly shone. The chicken sheekh kabob was a standout – I can confidently say I haven’t had such delectable chicken sheekh kabob in a long time. The flavors were exceptional, and the preparation was spot on. It’s a must-try.
But there was more to praise. Shah Restaurant surprised us with complimentary tea, which was a delightful touch. The service was notably swift; we didn’t have to wait long for our orders to arrive.
All in all, Shah Restaurant is a hidden gem for lovers of Indian cuisine, with its scrumptious food, late hours, and attentive service. I’ll be returning for that chicken sheekh kabob for sure!

One of our friends was craving tandoori chicken so we joined him. We also ordered garlic naan, basmati rice, chicken biriyani, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani, achaar paneer, sheekh beef kabob . All were pretty tasty and it was a nice variety to choose from. Chai is complementary and nicely hot. Recently had just cooked tandoori chicken and garlic naan, it was very tasty. Also had chicken tikka masala and great for dipping the naan.
