Hidden gem. Food is so tasty. Portions are a little small but that’s probably because I’m a bat fastard. Naan so fresh and perfect. Nice pickles tray too for the popadoms. Service is great, they’re so nice. Can’t fault this place. Will definitely come back. The mixed meat sizzler curry was 10/10.

Without a doubt Shurma is my favourite place to get a curry! I've sat in to eat or ordered takeaway from here at least 15 times this year. They have an incredible variety of delicious dishes, which I'm always excited to try a new flavour of each time I order. My particular favourite recently has to be the chicken Shurma Special Curry, an incredibly rich and creamy curry packed with flavour, but I'm also partial to the lamb Dansak and lamb Karahi. The staff are always so warmly welcoming and friendly, especially during the Christmas period, it really makes every visit a treat. Even when I order takeaway they get any special requests perfect and the delivery drivers are super polite (and quick!). If you've not given Shurma a try I strongly recommend them, you won't regret it! Best regular curry house I've had in easily 15 years

We order from here nearly every weekend. They have a good selection of curries , starters and sundries. My dish of choice is the safran (nicely spiced made with chicken stripes and minced meat, not fatty mince either) if the owners read this I'm sure they'll know who I am by what I order Highly recommended so give it ago and youll never order from anywhere else again. If you are looking for a sit down meal then this is the place to go too, there is no alcohol served here so take ya own

Visited Shurma with 3 mates for an evening meal. It's a "bring your own beer" establishment, and a point to note is that it's cash only. Indian restaurants can be hit and miss, but for us this was definitely a hit!. Service was excellent as was the food!! Price wise? Poppadoms & pickle, mixed starters, and 4 mains with a few extras.........74 . We certainly felt that was worth more to be fair, so a tip was left. Definitely recommend .
