Shipa

This is one heck of an eatery! We travelled down to Gillingham for a social the next day and having checked into our hotel went looking for an Indian restaurant for a meal. We googled and up came New Shipa right at the top of the list so naturally we thought we'd give it a try. We found the place and on first sight thought this looks like just any other Indian restaurant. Little did we know. Its a nondescript place. Very beige but boy o boy were we mistaken. Ordinary does not do this place any justice. It may look ordinary but the food was fantastic. Delicious pieces of lamb in a hot sauce for starters followed by a mixed Biriyani (not on the menu so you'll need to ask). My wife had the magic mushrooms (no, not those, silly 😋), mushroom stuffed with a meat mix and fried in a breadcrumb batter (very delicious!!) followed by a lamb biriyani. Its no wonder the restaurant has Bern around for 32 years. Good in them. We'd bevback again and again if only we lived locally.

Lovely food , great portion size and I loved the curry it was so fresh and the nan bread was lovely and fluffy but crunchy on the edges , the restaurant could do with some more new flooring though and let in some natural light but apart from that it was lovely and the staff where so helpful and nice, was a little pricey but I've walked away full and ate everything that I ordered.

One of my favourite places to eat since moving to Kent. The food is always hot and delicious when it arrives and good portions; sauce to meat ratio is👌🏼. Very accommodating and easy to order with via phone and in-person (I haven't tried to order online yet). The size and texture of their naans are great; thick and chewy in place, with a little charring.
