"I’ve walked past here so many times when heading to the station and finally getting to try it didn’t disappoint. Inside it’s a lot smaller than I had imagined and upon arrival the reception staff were a little blunt, but the impressive decor was enough to distract and fortunately the rest of the staff throughout the meal were superb. They were each able to recommend dishes and explain the options, all while remaining friendly and welcoming. The menu is extensive and mostly geared around ‘special’ dishes, leaving the more traditional items to a small easily missable section. This encouraged me to try something new and I wasn’t disappointed. The chicken liver starter was a decent size, arriving in good time (especially since the size of our group) and thoroughly enjoyable. The presentation of all the starters on the table was good and no one had any complaints. The mains also arrived in good time and were equally well presented. The portion sizes initially didn’t look great but that must have been an illusion, since we all finished suitably stuffed! Each dish was exceptionally flavoursome, with just the right amount of spice and herbs justifying the special promise of each item on the menu. The rice dishes were delicious and the keema rice had loads of meat in it which was superb. The naan breads were a particular speciality they are served huge hanging from the table and are delicious. Overall every item on the table was delicious and impressive. The tables are all very large making them ideally suited for groups. They compliment the decor and are works of art in themselves. It’s nice for the kitchen area to be open and if you’re sat nearby to it it’s entertaining watching the skilful staff make the breads. The drinks were a little slow to be served but perhaps this wasn’t helped by the size of our group. Overall it was a wonderful meal and a memorable curry. It’s certainly not the cheapest but the quality of food and more unique aspects make it worthwhile and I’d certainly return."

Shabab was recommended to me 27 years ago by an Indian waiter in Southport. It's moved since but I only first tried it last night. Cracking food and good service. Will be back without hesitation.

The staff are lovely, very efficient and friendly. The menu is straightforward and the food is just great. Interesting Morrocan feel to the restaurant ? with lanterns and upturned umbrellas on the ceiling. Very reasonably priced dishes.

Called in for a quick dinner prior to going to a concert. Our first visit to Shabab, we were greeted by a gentleman I assumed to be the owner who was quite jovial and shown straight to a table. The menu was less extensive than some Indian restaurants but for me that’s a positive. The waitress was very pleasant and service prompt. The food was lovely and I’d definitely visit again.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with amazing food. This is definitely a hidden gem of Leeds. The food has never failed to not only be generous in portion size, but also consistently delicious. I ordered the chicken makhani and it was beautifully creamy. I've never had a makhani as good as the one served here.The normal size garlic naan was easily enough to share between two people (which we did)! The staff were also incredibly friendly and attentive, and had a great rapport with customers. The toilets were also beautifully clean and spacious, and the restaurant will happily box up any leftovers to take home, which was useful as I couldn't finish all my curry! We will definitely be coming bac...
