"Worst Indian meal we have ever had. Only thing that was ok was the poppadums. The rest was tasteless and the chicken meat quite chewy. The garlic naan was tasteless and we had to ask times before the staff offered to replace it. When...we got the replacement it came covered in small chunks of garlic. The service was also quite poor with less than enthusiastic staff. The waiter did get the manager and he tried to explain they cook their food differently to how it’s cooked in the part of Scotland we come from?? He then also offered to get us a drink each but this was once we’d paid and were ready to leave. Would much rather have had something knocked off the bill for providing us with an underwhelming meal. It is ashame as the location is nice but the food and service was not."

This traditional curry house offers a pleasant dining experience. The booths provide a lovely view of the River Ness. The decor may be a bit dated, but the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The service was prompt and I would definitely come back.

I visited this restaurant during a work trip to Inverness. The decor was a bit dated, but the views overlooking the river were really nice. The service was excellent, and most importantly, the food was amazing! The chicken pakora was the best I have ever tried! View menu

As an Indian who eats and enjoys Indian food a lot and knows what authentic desi food should taste like I would give full marks to the naans and don’t have anything to complain about the overall food or service. Chicken jalfrezi is spicy but good spicy suited for Indian palette.

On a business trip in Inverness and went past Shapla, so thought let's give it a try. Was pleasantly surprised with the food and service was very good. Lamb Jalfrezi was brilliant with the steamed soft lamb. The Chicken Butter Curry was nice, smooth and very tasty. Basmati Pilau rice was nice and soft but the Garlic Nan was ok, nothing special. The owner was very hospitable, came and spoke to us and made us feel very welcome. Will visit again next time we're in Inverness.

I recently visited Shapla Restaurant in Inverness and was extremely disappointed by my experience. The food lacked flavor and freshness, the service was slow and inattentive, and the overall atmosphere was uninviting. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience. The staff's behavior was unacceptable, and we felt discriminated against when we were asked to sit in a corner despite the restaurant being nearly empty. No one attended to us, and the food was of poor quality. This visit took place in August 2021. View menu

Food was rather okay. It took an amazing lot of time to arrive at our tables, to.the point we began to regret our decision. Inside the restaurant it felt stuffy and something making us sneeze almost immediately. The person taking our order had no suggestions as he was only a part time worker as mentioned by him. So,.that was our first interaction. The shesh kebabs were dry to begin feeling like wood. Perhaps the first restaurant that did not ask for water. They say this is Indian but it does not feel like Indian Cuisine, but one won't know until you have tasted. We were the only ones in the restaurant. To sum it up, it was not the money's worth

We visited this place back in July. Where do I even begin? The food was okay but the service was bad. The staff could not even communicate and they could not even understand a thing we asked. And we’re Indians! The food came and we ate and it was alright. When we got our bill we saw some other guests arguing with the owner about being charged extra so we decided to check our bill as well. And of course we got charged extra very very sneakily. No way it was a mistake. The items were correct and named fine but in the price section had another but written in small handwriting squeezed between the other prices. All their bills are handwritten so they do whatever they want. I assume they do this...
