Shafiq’s Taste of India - Peterborough, Ontario

The Chicken Bhoona with the Rice was PERFECT TASTE. When I first saw the Chicken Bhoona, it does indeed look like a small portion because it is. When I compare it to other Indian restaurants such as Rahman Biryani House, Friendly Indian Cuisine, & The Imperial Tandoor; the portions are at ... least bigger than that especially for the $12 - $15 price range. I am paying $13 which is the price for one small meal. That Chicken Bhoona by itself with no rice is definitely not enough for one small meal even. It's like a snack portion. The great thing is the owner's daughter was very accommodating & gave me a bowl of rice as requested by me to compensate but the waitress is not that accommodating. The waitress wants to explain & wants to put up an argument that has been the price for decades. The owner's daughter handled it with GREAT PROFESSIONALISM. Easy to talk to. Done, no arguments. Shafiq's gets a 4 star because of the low quality service from the waitress. Read more

We had lunch here on April 19. Shrimp Bhoona and Lamb saag bhoona with naans. Delicious food. Pretty substantial and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly. Impressive service.

My family ordered what we thought would be a substantial amount of food through skip the dishes on Friday Feb 23rd for my Mom's birthday. Our family has ordered from Shafiqs many times over the years and we have never had an issue, but when we received our ... food we were disappointed to find that the take-out containers where much smaller than they used to be. A few of them weren't even full. The bill was over $140 (excluding skip the dishes fees) and we barely had enough food for 5 adults. We ordered 6 main dishes rice and nann. For reference they used to use 16oz take-out containers and we received 12 oz containers. Thats 25% less food while the prices remain the same or more. When we called to inform them of the issue they were indifferent and tried to blame skip the dishes, which is ridiculous. They eventually sent out another small container of butter chicken. Their only Point of redemption was that we did enjoy the food we received dispite of the small portions. We will not be ordering from Shafiqs again and would not recommend them for takeout.

Ordered through a third party app for delivery. Over $100, no rice unless ordered separately (around $20 for a small tub of sauce) with minimal meat. Naan is just a burnt, dry piece of flatbread. Super oily lamb madras, with half an inch of oil, dry lamb. Butter chicken had 5 ... pieces of chicken in a runny sauce. Disappointed to say the least as this used to be a great place. Go to somewhere better, the cost is not worth the quality. Read more

Shafiq's is the freshest food I've ever eaten. Unbelievable how tasty this is. Super quality at a real good price. If I'm feeling flavor and fresh this is the place. 👍👍 Butter Chicken and Chicken Korma, both mild, ready quickly. Super fresh and friendly.
