Lovely place but there is where the compliments finish for me. The waiters are very aloof and the last time I was there we had 3 differant meals, however, on trying each one they all tasted the same. An old saying, all fur coat and no substance (changed for politness)

We have been coming here probably since it opened.
We get take out about twice a week and eat in every
So often.
Food is excellent and all the staff are so friendly.
Everyone should try New Year's Eve and believe it or
Not Christmas Day. Takes all the stress out of cooking.
Keep up the good work. Well done. Mr W.

Went on Fri 18th Mar 2011. Had Sheek kebabs to start which were delicious. The service was absolutely impeccable. My chicken biryani was too hot for my taste buds and we mentioned this and were offered a replacement straight away. The food wasn't as great as the service but I'd still rate the over all experience as 8/10

We visited Shajan last night and although the food was acceptable the overall experience was somewhat underwhelming. The restaurant is clearly popular but for my mind far too many people are packed in to far too small a space. There are too many waiters dashing around the place, tables are too close together and the ambiance is claustrophobic. The overall impression is one of being on a conveyor belt and no sooner you settle than the feeling of being moved on sets in.

We are hoping to book a table to celebrate our daughters first wedding anniversary. That is their choice when we were thinking of somewhere special!!!
The fish cooked in leaves I find superb

I have been to the shajan last saturday (12th Decemeber) and i have got to say the service ad food is fantastic! the whole restaurant was packed to the seems and i thought my girlfriend and I would never get to sit down when we first arrived. However to my great surprise and pleasure we were sat down on a table within 20 minutes where we were given menu's and drinks!
The young manager there was fantastic he took our drink orders and our food order and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. He also allowed us to change many things on our order which we could not normally do at any other restaurant for example i wanted my Makhani chicken madras hot with chop chillis in it and he said that wasn't a problem.
The starters and main courses came quickly and we were not waiting very long at all, the food was AMAZING i have been all over the country tasting curries and i must say this place has got to be on top. The atmosphere is great the service and staff are just so perfect i can not wait to go back.

We have been dining with The Shajan for 11 years. It's a 70 mile round trip but we know that when we get there we will be treat like royalty and the food will be consistently fantastic! We live near 'The Curry Capital' but we have NEVER found an Indian Restaurant that could knock The Shajan off this extremely high pedestal that it so deserves to perch on!! I wish Zabi would come back from Bangladesh though.

Faultless Indian restaurant. Great service: staff motivated and friendly but never overbearing. Nice layout inside, modern and classy.
Most importantly, the food is simply superb. The tastes are clean and spicy and the portions are big. It was also astonishingly good value. We were in a group of four and starters, mains, beers and coffees came to about £100, for a quality of food that seriously is worth twice that.
Check it out, you won't regret it.

I visited the Shajan very recently and although the food was outstanding.
The experience was ruined by the terrible attitude of the waiters, they were rude and dismissive.
I'm not sure if there was something going on at the restaurant but I will not be going back.
