Shamiana product reviews

I love this place. And it just got even better!!

I noticed over the weekend they now are displaying an 'A' food grade rating. For those not in the know about the food grade ratings, food outlets are graded with a letter from A-E in conjunction with how clean and hygenic the store is and safe food practices, etc. 'A' is the highest rating a food outlet can achieve. Well Done Shamiana!

Unfortunately just one little niggle. I decided to try a poppadum with my korma instead of my usual naan. Ugh, I wish I didn't. The poppadums are saltier than the Dead Sea. Really inedible. Will stick to naans in future.

after reading the review about the butter chicken i simply had to try it. it was everything they said it would be. the smooth taste, the total lack of throat-ripping burn, the tender chicken chunks, it was all good. if you want to try a great feed at a reasonable price i would say give these guys a shot.

Come one come all! Being the Butter Chicken self-professed guru that I am, I have found Shamiana Butter Chicken to be the second best place that I have tasted in the whole of Aotearoa (NZ). With it only marginally loosing by a nose to Manakau Foodcourt because of the price.

Since the rich creamy flavour of Shamiana Butter Chicken first did the bossanova with my tastebuds I have found it has continued to bring it to the table night in and night out.

I praise them so much because of the fact that in every way they have met my needs. Firstly with the blue-note $10 deal, I found that it was more than enough value for money that any man could ask for. Secondly, usually having only a small amount of time to pop out and getting something to eat, I found them pretty quick with the old scoop, pour-n-pay system, and finally the taste as I mentioned above is second to none.

So all and all I wouldn't go anywhere else in Palmy town to get a tasty and cheap Indian Meal.

Solid.

P.S Oh yeah they also have other stuff as well. Chicken Korma etc! oops almost forgot.

For a change of pace, I decided to try some Chicken Korma from Shamiana. As I approached the counter I noticed their sign for a curry and rice, plus a naan bread and a can of Coke for only $10.00.

So, after having a browse I confirmed my first choice and went for the Chicken Korma. Tray piled to the edges, I turned to find a table. Now, of all the foods you can buy in the foodcourt, the curry bowls would have to be the most risky to carry in a crowded venue such as the Foodcourt.

Once I had safely made my way through the rat's nest of tables and chairs, and moving bodies, I was able to perch at a table by the window and dish it up.

Spread rice, dish curry over the rice, grab a chunk of naan and semi-roll it into a halfpipe, load it up with rice-&-curry, and eat taco-style.

Overall, very tasty indeed! Delish! I was surprised at just how full I was by the end. A most stomach-filling feed at a very wallet-filling price.
