Absolutely loved it! The best cocktails around, beautiful setting, wonderful food, attentive (but not in your face) staff. Our new number 1! I have to recommend the tempura vegetables and sea food - fantastic.

Thank you Selda - see you in October   ;) (Nicholas Gate)

Shaka have very kindly allowed an Art Exhibition (of mine and Eric's paintings) on Friday 21st & Sat 22nd Sept 7pm start. Our first exhibition so we are both excited  ;D
There will be live music as well so hope to see lots of you enjoying the music, art and cocktails. 8)

we went and i found it mediocre
not much choice on the chix menu i and my friend ended up having chix burgers
the boys had beef and chix in ginger sauce which they said was nice
cocktails not much choice not like the buzz bar in olu deniz,i asked for a pina colada sorry they only had  frozen,which was ok but gave me one of those cold headaches
the mojitos did not taste good  and the peach bellini was ok
i will go to mc donalds next time and have a chix burger there
and the bus stop for the cocktails which are cheaper and there is a bigger choice

Is chicken called chix in Merseyside then? I had no idea what you were talking about for a minute.

We recommended Shaka to some friends on Violet when we were over. 
They all enjoyed their meals, saying the food and service were outstanding and that it's now on their list of places to eat on every visit. 
I have to agree with them,  I loved it.

We found the peach bellini's and the razzmoplitans lovely - and much stronger than Buzz Bar. We went with three different couples over the last couple of weeks and everyone was very impressed vowing to return. Obviously the setting but also with the different menu (Tempura veg and sea food and beef ribs for example) excellently presented. Lovely loos too  ;)

No tin hat required - everyone is looking for something different and no establishment will please all the people all the time. We went to another of our previous favourites twice, Yengec in Ovacik, and were surprisingly underwhelmed yet everyone else is still raving about it  ???

We went to Shakra and a lovely time....gin and tonics were huge and a nice strength not just tonic! We had calamari and garlic prawns to start both very good. Then BBQ beef ribs with a red wine reduction and potato bake ( dauphinois ) they were lovely and tender and made a nice change. Live music and a nice atmosphere throroughly recommend.
