Shubh Restaurant and Takeaways — Restaurant in Albert-Eden

Shubh has been here in Sandringham for a LONG time now, serving the vegetarian varieties (mostly North Indian). Started off as just a ‘Take Away’ outlet, on the clientele increasing, added the dine in room, as an add-on. The dishes are very well priced and the portions are larger than most available in similar price range. I have found the paneer (Indian Cheese!) based dishes very compatible with my palate; specially ‘paneer paalak’. The good part of the offerings is that there is just enough ‘masaala’ or spices added to ensure good taste prevails (unlike quite a few other Indian outlets that tend to go ‘over-board’ with their spices (specially chillies!).

We often pick up an entire week's worth of dinner from here. This, simply because my husband and I usually cook Indian for dinner on weeknights and the food at Shubh is almost exactly what we cook and like to eat.
