As fabulous now as it was when I started using Shemins after seeing James Martin using it. Consistently excellent, never had cause for complaint. We cook curries for our next door neighbours and they love it too. Keep it up Shemin and Jamie 🥰

We love hearing how many different dishes you use the spice blends in, Kathleen. Those little pots can certainly transform a meal quickly! Keep Currying Like a Pro!
Highly Recommend - tasty pastes, excellent service.
We have been ordering pastes and spice mixes from Shemins for a number of years and can’t fault them. The pastes taste amazing and are easy to use, and the spice mixes are an addition to most of our cooking. We have had an issue with one of our orders and the customer service was brilliant with direct contact to someone very quickly, to rectify the problem. Would highly recommend.

Delicious curry pastes that made my midweek cooking so easy. Would highly recommend the thai curry pastes and hot curry paste. The pots of ground spices and rubs for meat are also very tasty!

Fantastic
For the first time l used Shemin’s ready to serve Jalfrezi sauce. It was so delicious absolutely like sitting in a top Indian restaurant. We like lots of sauce so we had it between two with chicken tikka chunks and Shemin’s Naan breads. FABULOUS

Now that sounds like our kind of curry night, Pat! Chicken tikka, plenty of Jalfrezi Sauce and Shemin’s Naan Breads. We’re so pleased it tasted worthy of a top Indian restaurant.
