My wife had been asking to try this restaurant for quite sometime. After reading the reviews here i expected great food and so so service.
We had the opportunity in celebrating our anniversary last Saturday to head out for a romantic meal and our 1st visit.
Well let me tell you that anything negative mentioned in the past is no longer valid.
The restaurant was packed yet quiet and private enough. Shafiq and his family (staff) were extremely attentive, stopped to check in and the food arrived in what seemed like no time at all.
Shafiq himself is quite the character, very friendly and welcoming which really sealed the deal of a great evening out for my wife and me.
Now onto the food. Well where to begin. Wow is a good start...extremely fresh, VERY yummy and the spice was a real surpirse. I was not a huge fan of Indian food (or at least I thought) but Shafiq's has converted me. We enjoyed Samosa, Naan, Curry Chicken, Mango Chutney, Butter Chicken, and my new favourite dish, Chicken Binyani (sp?)..oh my god.! Delicious!
As a matter of fact they open in 7 minutes so i am going to go order Take Out!!
If you enjoy fresh and extremely tasty food you will not go wrong with this place.
Service was excellent and food magnificent. Will definitely go back. Restaurant was filled to capacity with only two people waiting on tables, one being the owner.
My wife and I went for dinner to Shafiq's last night for the fourth time since last summer. I have to say this will be our last time.
On every occasion, the service is terrible. Either they get the orders wrong, or we have to wait for something, or they just ignore us.
It's not a terribly big restaurant - seating maybe 30 people at most - so they could provide better service if they wanted to.
Last night, they missed some items from a pre-set list of items on their menu, and we had to remind the owner what we were missing. (Which is a surprise, since he created the menu, right?)
Then when the final item came, we ordered a drink refill - wine for my wife and beer for me. Fifteen minutes later, with the restaurant nearly empty, we were nearing the end of the meal without our drinks, and no water refill. Finally, the owner came with my wife's wine, but no beer for me. I told him we didn't want the wine, because we were finished our meal. He seemed shocked!
I asked him to pack up the remainder, which he hastily did. Before the bill came, he asked if we wanted coffee or tea, but I repeated that we were finished. He seemed truly surprised that we didn't want to hang around!
We will continue to order take-out, because it's the best Indian food in town, but we will never eat there again, nor will we recommend it to friends.
