Shah Tandoori

Shah shah shah... where to even start? We found this place off Google Maps - it had a really good average and the last bunch of reviews spoke well of it. Took the short walk from the hotel to the restaurant and when we got there we noticed that there was only two people in there eating dinner. Hm. Reviews were good so maybe we just hit an off time. In we went and got greeted with one of the most genuine restaurant smiles I've ever seen - Raj. Raj and his colleagues were second to none. Really friendly, sociable and knowledge about what they were serving. I for example got convinced to try one of their specialities: Goan Lamb Shank How was it? It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. So much flavor mixed with really tender lamb made this, hands down, the best Indian food I've had in my life. I mean, I really love me a good Chicken Tikka Butter Masala and the likes, but this was just next level. Highly recommend! The naan bread was really great as well - puffy yet crispy with a fresh scent and taste of roasted garlic and koriander. By the time we were leaving the headcount had tripled to six NEW patrons (not counting ourselves), and each of them got to experience that hearty warmth after stepping in. I'll definitely be back! 🤝

This restaurant was a great and impressive find when my family and I were visiting London. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was phenomenal! My sons had never had proper Indian food before and they were very impressed. My wife and I have had Indian food on many occasions and Shah Tandoori ranks towards the top of the list. The chicken biryani, chicken madras and chicken tika are all very good!!!! A must visit spot if you're in London. Check out the "after" picture. Yes, we loved the food!
