About Shahbaaz Curry Cottage
Manchester boasts one of the most competitive Indian restaurant scenes of anywhere in the country, and up in the north, it is as fierce as anywhere. Bury is home to a huge migrant community from Pakistan and Bangladesh – who know their (tandoori lamb) chops – and the locals in Radcliffe are used to high standards as well, so when we tell you that Shahbaaz Curry Cottage has stood on its location since the mid-90s, you know that they must be doing something right. Their curries are as good as any around, but it is in the house specials that they really excel, with dishes rarely found outside of the subcontinent. Try the begum bahar – marinated chicken with minced meat and a hot and sour sauce – or the tandoori chicken nagangie, barbecued off the bone and spiced with the iconic Bengali naga chillies. You can find them on Radcliffe Moor Road, halfway between Bury and Bolton – so fill up the car, book a table and head on over.

We enjoyed our visit to Curry Cottage great food as ever our favourite place to eat out we have never been disappointed and the staff are always welcoming
Very enjoyable experience. The waiters were lovely and attentive. The food was delicious and the surroundings pleasant. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and can't wait to visit again!
Great love tandoori garlicwala young English boy waiters that do the drinks are really really helpful. Went on chirmstas eve really busy but still has great service
Its definitely an old School experience at the Shahbaaz Curry Cottage with a strange mix of old & new décor, but who cares, I am reviewing the food & it was excellent. It is always a good start when the Poppadum's are fresh & crispy & the "bits" are tasty. I always gravitate to a spicier/hotter dish & opted for the Kashmiri Chilli (Lamb) & it was excellent. The Lamb melted in your mouth & the sauce had a dry consistency, not the often usual "one-pot mush" & it was hot!!! Not necessarily the place to take your better half for a romantic meal for 2, but 10/10 for the quality of the food, which was well presented & slightly different to all to often disappointing fayre of other local Curry Houses.
Food as always was spot on and waiting time was very low indeed. In the past the customer service wasn't the best but now they seem to have brand new, eager and positive staff. My best experience so far yet and reaffirmed that the Shahbaaz is my all time fav Indian restaurant.
I have been visiting this resturant for many years now and have never been disappointed. The food is awlays tasty and good well, the staff are always friendly and wanting to make your experoence with them great.
We eat here a lot and always have great quality food served by attentive friendly staff. The menu caters for all tastes and we would recommend any of the specials. Great place to eat and reasonably priced
Fantastic. We all loved the food and service was spot on. No complaints! Really good value for money and really nice quaint place with a good atmosphere. Enjoyed it here and will be returning!
Excellent food, been going for a few year's now and never been disappointed yet. The service was fast even while busy and didn't have to wait long for your meal
Great food - service a little slow this evening but still a thoroughly enjoyed evening Took along 2 children, wasn't sure how they would be as never been to a curryhouse but seemed to enjoy it.
Amazing food and service as always. Prices are good for the area. Will definitely be going back again.. Please of parking and hello and goodbyes from the staff..
Friendly service and delicious food. Great range of items to choose from and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to others. On site parking is a plus too.
First visit and we weren't disappointed. Very friendly staff and fabulous food. We had the special menu but we will definitely return and pay full price.
Excellent food perfectly served. Would continue to use this restaurant and recommend it to family and friends. Also a major plus is the car park facility.
Fantastic food,,fantastic service. The friendly, welcoming staff can't do enough for you. Never had a bad experience in all the time we have been going.
Lovely mild but flavoursome curry. Will definitely go again . Waiters attentive but not overbearing. Overall a good experience and would highly recommend to others
Food excellent plenty of choice on the menu including some dishes never seen before at other restaurants, service could be better although was quite busy. Overall enjoyable and will return
Had a really good evening food was lovely and the staff was attentive me and my mum are both Coeliacs and there was plenty for use to choose from.
Enjoyed a midweek meal here with friends. Restaurant was clean, had a relaxed atmosphere. We received good service, there was an extensive menu choice and the food was great.
Very slow. I ordered a drink and it took half an hour to arrive. Food was lovely though. Id booked a table for 12 online but arrived and they had no clue about our reservation.
excellent food with a wide variety on the menu. Good prices and the special on Wednesday and Sunday is worth every penny. The staff are helpful and friendly.
A bit rushed with it being New Years Eve but the food was excellent,will give it another try when it's not a busy night the service should be a bit more relaxed then
The food was well presented and very tasty and authentic. Good Service from the staff. Easy parking and in a good location for ease access.
7.30 till 10.00 Saturday night hardly anyone in, no atmosphere but the food was excellent. If they could get the customers in would score better.
Rubbish cancelled on me by a rude text message saying we are full after accepting my reservation won't be booking again clearly poor customer service !
