Tiny, hole in the wall take out place. Food is good, service a bit slow and prices comparable to others in the neighborhood. It is a regular of ours.

I love Shirley's. I look love how they had the staple butter chicken but also have some really fun options like their Nutella Cheesecake dessert. One down part is that we can't sit down and eat there! But other that that this place if amazing!

**Hidden Gem Alert!** This spot might be easy to miss unless you're following the mouthwatering aroma of herbs from half a block away. I stumbled upon this place thanks to a social media post, and since it's local, I had to give it a try. **Butter Chicken Empanada**: The standout! It's a bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny. The balance of spice, creaminess, and that perfect crunch on the outside is a delight. Definitely meant to please. **Chicken Tikka Masala**: Smooth, creamy, and flavorful without being overwhelming. A solid dish that delivers on comfort and taste. **Chicken 65**: Not your standard takeout chicken! It brings its own unique character to the table, with a bold and original taste. They have an intriguing menu that I'm eager to work my way through. Remember, it's takeout only, with a pick-up window and no seating area. They do accept credit cards. Best to call ahead and order--expect about a 30-minute wait, but it's worth it to save time and get your hands on some of the best local eats!

I like Shirley's. *This eating establishment is an ORDER AND DELIVER OR PICKUP JOINT ONLY. When I worked in New Rochelle as a driving instructor for New Mellenium on Main Street, this place was one of my fave Indian influenced take out restaurants. They have a cute little window alongside of the building in which they house their kitchen. My usually order was Tikka Maasala or Chicken Biryani. Now, don't expect your order to be pumped out in 10 mins or so. That's NOT how this place works. They take their time in preparing a good meal. So avg waits can be as long as 25- 30 mins for your delicious Indian meals! The wait is S0000 WORTH IT! The naan is pretty avg tasting and the rice is usually prepped freshly. I highly recommend this reasonably priced and DELICIOUSLY prepared Indian cuisine. Small place that prepares with BIG deliciously, spiced flavors! I can't comment on their website and ordering from their as I have not used it. Every time I ordered, I would do it through their little slide window in the side of their restaurant. If a person is not at the window to take your order you need to press a bell that will buzz them in the inside to notify them that you are their to place your order/s. Enjoy ! Buon Appetito!!

Update: As you can see, Shirley's contacted me immediately. My review probably came off so angry because that website was really awful! They've asked me to email them so they can address it. Also, they did make the point that ordering straight from the menu is cheaper, rather than through DoorDash, and I know that in my heart, but the website debacle clouded my judgment ha! They've also offered the desert we didn't receive. Their reply was so nice that I might even try the website again. I will definitely try the Nutella cheesecake samosas. Thank you, Shirley's, for being so kind to a cranky customer. TLDR: Good food, terrible website experience, problematic delivery process, and part of our order was missing. Review: I've said in many reviews that we have a favorite Indian restaurant in Clarksville, TN, Tandoor, that we've patronized for at least a decade. I judge every establishment by this spot, and have yet to find any place to beat it. I only say this to point out that Shirley's is probably a five in many books, just not mine. First, the gripes, which have nothing to do with taste, just in case Shirley's reads this (I don't want them to get bored and quit reading before this part): we never got our Nutella cheesecake samosas. We paid, but they never arrived with the rest of our order. Considering we paid over 150 dollars after taxes and tip (which still doesn't warrant free delivery), that's a kick in the stomach. Another thing, I will never order to go from Shirley's website again. It is the WORST website. Slow, buggy, glitchy. It took FOREVER to put an order together. I used the Shirley's website over DoorDash for a couple reasons: one, I do try to funnel as much money directly to business as possible. Two, there were a couple of things my husband wanted that were on the website, but not DoorDash. What happened? Our delivery was still sent by DoorDash and we still paid the more than six dollar delivery fee. Delivery fee? Fine. But that website? I can't get the at least 45 minutes it took me to struggle through that order. On to the food: In addition to the obligatory naan, we got: Aloo gobi with the potato base. Creamy with well seasoned potatoes--just the right amount of firmness. Chicken 65--good flavor, though Shirley makes hers soft and we prefer crispy. That's just a preference thing. Loaded street fries with chili gobi (cauliflower): Fries were crisp, not soggy, and the gobi sauce was bursting with flavor. Chicken Manchurian: We usually get gobi Manchurian with cauliflower, but it's not available here. Chicken was fried, but not crispy, which actually worked here. Savory and well seasoned. Mattar (green peas and spiced cream sauce): Creamy, velvety, lots of spices and herbs. This and the aloo gobi were probably my faves. I think we ended up with the "not mint" sauce instead of the mint sauce. The coconut chutney and raita were thin for our taste. Shirley's has a pretty expansive menu: samosas, butter chicken, tandoori dishes, curries, etc. They also have wraps: mix veg, paneer, chicken tikka, coco beef, stir-fry shrimp. They have a deal on Monday (though yelp! says they are closed on Monday) where you can get three for the price of two. Food was pretty good. Experience wasn't great.
