Atmosphere was lacking as we were the only guests at first, but the food more than made up for it. Really enjoyed my meal, my huge glass of wine and the speedy service. It was more reasonable in price than one or two other locations in Carlisle, which is a bonus. Will definitely be going again.

First visit to this restaurant. Like others before me, I found the staff to be a little off. Like they didn’t really want me there. Other than that, the food was very tasty. Fast service and reasonably priced. Very empty on Wednesday night. As you’d expect.
Would imagine the weekend atmosphere to be better. Give it a try

Vile, rude, aggressive staff. Need to learn some manners and hygiene. They show no respect. Younger females in our group felt particularly uncomfortable. AVOID. These vile people don’t deserve your business. Waiters have no training, they are abrupt and don’t understand basic manners. I dread to think what goes on in the kitchen. Disgusting.

Food is ok but you’ll see by my other reviews it’s not up there with the best, a little bit bland and not got enough spice. The building is also in dire need of modernising and the atmosphere was a bit dead!

Couldn’t fault the curry. 6 of us with all different curries, everyone enjoyed theirs. Poppadoms to start and chicken tandoori balti for main with rice. Really tasty. I thought the staff were a bit miserable and didn’t look or sound like they wanted to be there.

Very nice. I would have liked a bit more meat in the biryani, but good amount of prawns, good flavour and plenty of vegetable sauce to go with it. The cauliflower side was tasty, and the starter very good, onion bahji was light and sweet.

Food was very bland didn’t taste at all like Indian food – We were were rushed and made to feel very uncomfortable with staff pacing up and down One member of staff was very rude and short in conversation like we should not be there and it was a inconvenience for them to serve us food which we were paying for
Quite a negative experience all round !

Last night, I had the opportunity to dine Shaha, and I must say, the experience was quite the rollercoaster. Let me start with the food—it was absolutely delicious! I would rate it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was stunning. From the appetisers to the main courses, everything was crafted with care and attention to detail
However, the service was a different story. Unfortunately, I would have to give it just 1 out of 5 stars. The staff seemed annoyed and frustrated which really detracted from the overall experience.I understand that busy nights can be challenging, but it was disappointing to see the staff making me feel unwanted! At times i would even say i felt uncomfortable.
In conclusion, while I would highly recommend the food at Shaha for anyone looking for a fantastic meal, I hope they can improve their service in the future. It’s a shame that such a wonderful experience was overshadowed by the lack of attention from the staff. I would recommend taking away ur food so you don’t have to deal with the stuck up staff!
