I've been to Shinwari a few times and would honestly give it 5*. The Kabuli Pilau is really delicious as well as the Chappli kebabs. I ordered the saag keema, and that was really nice as well.

User

I went to shinwari today after a very long time. Since all this time I heard so much negativity abt the food that service has gone really down. But with all honesty I loved the food. All staffs were so welcoming. I was ordering mixed grill and kabuli Pulao separately and the waiter advised himself that it is better if I order special grill and they can swap plain rice with Kabuli Pulao. His advise was not only cost effective but also had enough serving. I enjoyed delicious chopan kebab and all grill items. Def worth a 5 star and will definitely start visiting more often now. Thank you for this service

Great restaurant, very traditional and homely. Great food too.

User

Don't believe everything you read on this. I tell you why, it's because these negative reviews are posted by other restaurant owners along Cranbrook road. I have been a few times and the food is beautifully served with a smile. Has always come to the table freshly cooked and absolutely delicious.

We went there in first week of October. We ate Chicken Karrahi and Persion Challo Kabab. Although food was nice they took around 45 mins to bring the food which I believe the record time I have waited anywhere in London. Moverover, I felt the food was a little bit overpriced.

User

The place needs a good spring clean. Too many rugs and curtains and cushions that look like they haven't been washed for a long time. Claustrophobic place . Food was average. Service good but without good food and ambience what's the use?

User

Its ok....we ordered starters but unfortunatley ended up getting dinner together with the starters..plus the food was so cold and the chappati was rotten hard..the manager had a go at the staff..he then apologised...we did not enjoyed it at all....

User

Tasteless food. I ordered mix platter lamb boti was vey hard and chewy. Chicken was like boiled and smelly. Very expensive but tasteless. Lamb kharahi meat was very poor quality. The dish was full of bones instead of meat. Never go there again. Very disappointed

User

It was an awful experience...took the whole family as it was my sons birthday...service was poor...the staff were miserable...the food was average at best...ridiculously overpriced for what you get...will never go there again

I went there with 5 other people on Friday gone. We ordered a Lamb Karahi, a Chicken Karahi, 2 chaloo kebab and 3 kofta kebab. The chaloo kebab and the kofta kebab are supposed to come out with the kebabs and rice together on one plate. The food came out cold. We sent them back. After waiting an eternity, the kebabs came out but the rice did not come out. After waiting another 15-20 mins, the rice came out but off course by that time the kebabs and the sauce became cold. I ordered a lamb karahi with a naan. The naan came out 40 minutes before the lamb karahi so I just ate a cold and hard naan with the lamb karahi as I could not waste any more time in there. Our bill came to approx £80 but the manager of the shop, a fat man with mostache did not even have the decency to apologize. Instead he was justifying to me that they are busy. If the restaurant is busy, that is not my problem. I have paid for the food to enjoy it in one go, not to have my food arrive in dribs and drabs over the course of 50 mins. We did not enjoy our meal one bit. I will never go back again. The few spoonfuls of cold food gave me a diarrhea the next day. The manager put his money before customer satisfaction, so he has lost this customer. There is a Persian place in Goodmayes called Kyber Grill which is much, much better in Persian food and service.

I visited shinwari resturant 6 years before after that every time when I went to London wished to go shinwari again but couldn't. But on 08-05-2017 I went to shinwari again. But this time I was much much disapointed by the food I was served. I ordered Namak mandi and chicken karai but I was surprised to see Namak mandi was same lamb karai also was not properly cooked because it was giving bad smell. Chicken karai was alsi not very special. When I complained I was told the cheff has off today. Ridiculous! !@ Bye Bye Shinwari . Never never never go again will also stop my family and friends to go there

User

I used to go there and food was nice.i have been yesterday and it was disastare.absoulte rubbish service and food was joke.very poor quality,not able to eat.just of time and money.

I will not go never ever in my life even if they give free food.

User

I dont class them as a restaurant. Their service and food does not regard them as restaurant.

I visited Ilford brach London. Its worser than a worst high street food take way shop...

Please dont visit, its waste of money and time, respect your earning.

Infact one can get food poison as they serve stored cold food, lots of microwave work.

You got much better choices at the same street.

I dont understant why and how they got licence of restaurant from authorities, their local health clinic must be very busy because of them.

User

Been waiting for an hr for food and still no luck. Smells like they have illegal immigrants sleeping in here at night times. Staff not very polite. Once food came, half was cold which after a complaint, got warmed up in the microwave. Food overall wasnt what i expected.
