Authentic Indian Restaurant in Truro
The Shanaz Restaurant has been serving authentic Indian cuisine in Truro since 1995. Founded by four brothers with decades of combined experience in the restaurant trade, we specialise in dishes inspired by the Indian subcontinent, from Nepalese and Pakistani influences to Bangladeshi and Indian staples. Our journey began in a modest 30-seat premises on River Street before relocating to our current Georgian building on Edward Street in 2000. Nestled near Truro Cathedral, we offer a warm dining environment and takeaway service, accommodating dietary preferences with vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options.Our menu features award-winning curries like Chicken Panasia and Shom Mulla, alongside traditional tandoori and biryani dishes. With over 25 years of heritage, we remain committed to quality ingredients and customer satisfaction. Our central location provides easy access via car, rail, or bus, and we welcome guests for intimate meals or special occasions. Regulars praise our creamy-textured curries and attentive service, while our 20% takeaway discount continues to attract new patrons. As a family-run business, we maintain the same enthusiasm and dedication that launched our journey in 1995.

Amazing place. Very attentive to your needs and aware when we were near a very noisy table, that they moved us to a quieter place. Great food as always. Will be back soon

Report
Pathetic food and bad service. Service was extremely bad. Waiter was very rude. And finally I can go anyplace as long as the food is good. However this was not the case. The city needs a good Indian restaurant. (Replying to your comment I was in truro on the 23 sept but I forgot to review you as I had such a bad experience and wanted to say something. I will share with Google proof that I was there. Seems like we all know how you get 4.6 stars now,by asking Google to remove comments u dont like )
