The Olympia Ballroom

My wife and I got married here on 22/09/2018 and we were pleased with the food and excellent service. The staff we lovely and they put our wedding and the guests as number one priority. The event manager was so flexible and she was willing to come up with ideas to make our day special as we had to compromise due to the weather etc. The only reason I’m rating them 4 star is because of one of the toilets which was out of order, besides that it was 100% excellent! If I could I would get married at the same please again but happily, I can only get married once.

Held my sisters Nikkah here a little while back and honestly couldn't be happier with the service provided. The food was exceptional, I had a number of my guest come up to me and compliment the food, especially the Fish Amritsari. The Chef really did an outstanding job. The events team were very friendly and looked after us from the time of booking to the event day itself. They honestly made the entire event such a smooth process for us, we couldn't be more happier. A massive thank you to the entire Olympia Ballroom - Shehnai team and the lovely chefs for catering to our very specific needs.

I hosted my sister's bridal shower in the Jalsa suit and I couldn't be anymore pleased. There is nothing the team could have done to make it better. The service I received was beyond perfection. My night went smoothly. The co-ordinators of the night were first class. Jaideep provided amazing customer service and used his own initiative to make my event run smoothly. Animesh what can I say, a true blessing to have you there your hosting was absolutely memorable. Guests who attended feedback to me how helpful you were through out the night. Thank you to all the staff who worked very hard to make my sisters night truly memorable. Thank you Olympia.

I had my 10th anniversaty celebration at Shehnai and I couldn't have hope for more...it was absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing...but I need to give special thanks to the amazing Event co-ordinator, Jaideep and his team. Absolutely committed, customer-oriented, very very helpful and delivers what he says he would..overall excellent experience for us.

2015 was the third year Shehnai have hosted the Alternative Queen of Reading. A celebration for International Women's Day, the event is run in support of local charities, and Shehnai are absolutely fantastic in the support they offer. From helping advise on and arrange the best layout for the evening, to responding to last minute requests, they handle everything professionally and are consistently friendly and helpful. The team that helped set up this year were as accommodating as always, but it was Patrick who was the absolute star of the night, running the bar and helping our team dismantle and take down all the get up, all in good humour (despite him having to be back at the venue at some unearthly hour this morning). The venue is as much a star of the show as all our wonderful acts.

Good Indian food here - lots of flavour and variety. I was here for a comedy and curry event, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the curry. The setting is okay, not great - I wouldn't have a wedding here as the walls and decorations are not in the best condition. But great for a little gathering and a brilliant setting for the comedy and curry.
