SHAHI Restaurante Indio Pakistani - Buffet & A la Carta (حلال) — Restaurant in Valencia

Edit: nice reply❗️I wasnt expecting anything less from you! First of all no waiter came and asked if the food was OK!? Their was a guy sitting outside warning other guest to leave as soon as possible because he was waiting for more than 2 hours to get his takeaway! There more complaining customers outside who regretted ordering food from your place! Talk about “man-o-salwa”, a professional who replies on an honest review like you has probably never heard about authentic Indian/Pakistani Cousine ! We are staying at one of Valencias Top Resorts and can therefore clearly different between poor food/service/standards. We’ve send all the food back! I dont know were you saw empty plates?!

To add to the Fish Tikka situation: We ordered the grill plater without the Fish but still received dry Fish bits and some meat from an unknown animal. The whole platter was returned!

But your reply proves that all the negative comments you received are true! You call everyone a liar who doesnt see eye to eye with you!

❗️Before the owner replies back in his rude way like he did on all other negative comments, I’d to say that if you look at all the positive comments they come from spanish people who have no idea how real “Pakistani/Indian food” taste like.❗️

I went with my husband and two children for dinner and our reservation was at 8pm. By the time starters were served it was 8.45pm. We had the mixed grill plater for starters and were so disappointed to see that the Seekh Kebabs werent made by hand instead they were those you buy frozen in a batch and reheat them in the microwave. Chicken Tikka was dry so was the fish Tikka.

Around 9.30pm our main course was served. We ordered Lamb Curry, Biryani, 4 Naan and Chana Pulao. The Naan was served at around 10pm 😶. We didnt even touch the Naan because everyone was tired. The picture of the Lamb curry speaks for itself. It had a weird coconut flavour to it and was very watery. The Biryani had a hair in it. My kids complained about stomach pain after eating 4 spoons of their Chana Pulao.

In Conclusion: We only ate 4-5 spoons of each dish and send everything back. We are from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and the food was just an insult. The waiter presented us a bill of 55€ for food that was hardly touched. After seeing our disappointed faces he gave us a discount of 17€. We gave him 30€ instead and left.

I wish I gave those 30€ to a homeless...

TOURISTS

I killed 2 birds with 1 stone

I both hit the beach & ate some kick butt Indian food.

I Google mapped and hopped on the #31 bus from the main square (Town Hall Square aka Plaza del Ayuntamiento).

I got off across the street from Shahi and walked through the green space that separates both sides of the street.

I ate then hit the beach (of course you can hit the beach first then eat on the way back).

The restaurant opens at noon ... but the buffet starts at 1pm (1300).

The buffet was so good I went back a 2nd time.

Talk about superior flavors and quality!

And unlike many Indian restaurants the naan is inluded (yay)!

Usama who is the bartender/server is kind and soft spoken.

1 more thing beer or soda is included...

Don't know where to start the food was next level bad, Went for the buffet but there was really limited quantity food on the buffet table and with nothing available for children but they will charge 12 euros for a four year old kid who didn't eat anything from the buffet menu and took only water from my bottle so was charged 12 euros for a kid who eat nothing, Asked for plain yougrt so at least he can eat plain rice with that and was charged 3.50 for that separately, Rice was of the cheapest quality and they added peas in it and this was called baryani, so was not just disappointed was pretty upset how bad the quality of the food was and was charged nearly 50 euros for that, try avoiding it or go for restaurant menu...
