Shanaz Stockbridge - Edinburgh

Well what can I say. We where here last year and tried the food and the family were blown away with the flavour. This year we returned to Stockbridge. Three nights into our stay and a second takeaway using the online booking. One of out favourites is Sylhety noodles . We always collect our food.

I have been ordering from Shanaz for years and their consistent amazing standards have never disappointed. The food is always exceptional, authentic Indian cuisine. The staff is consistently friendly and the owner is fantastic. Orders are always freshly prepared, with excellent service and even better prices.

The food at this restaurant is delicious, but their non-delivery service is a major let down. We waited 50 minutes for our delivery this time, and had a similar experience in the past when a 30 minute order took over an hour. The website said it would be 45 minutes this time, but when we called to inquire about the delay, we were told the driver was 'on his way'. When we asked how much longer it would be, we were told it would be another 20-30 minutes. This would have made it a total of 70-80 minutes from the time of ordering. When we tried to clarify how it could be both 'on his way' and '20-30 minutes more', we were met with silence and no attempt to resolve the issue. We decided to cancel the order, and were thankful that we had chosen to pay with cash on delivery, as it gave us that option. We will not be giving this restaurant a third chance, that is for sure.

I can understand why Shanaz was awarded Edinburgh takeaway for 2023 as the food was delicious, the vegetable Kathmandu was amazing. Highly recommended.

This is the best Indian food I have ever had, and we now order it every week for our home. I highly recommend it, as it never fails to satisfy. The delivery is fast and the staff are lovely with friendly faces.
