“ Incredible food! So flavorful and delicious! We started with samosa chat--crispy, delicious sauces, perfect chicken peas. I had the lamb tikka sizzling plate...outstanding! My friend enjoyed her chicken tikka masala--so good! We split the vegetable biryani, excellent with the vegetable sauce served on the side so you can have as much (or as little) as you like! Naan rounded off the meal, with leftovers to take home. This is our first day in London and we are always excited to try a new Indian restaurant on every trip. Shah Tandoori is amazing! If you are lucky enough to live here, try it once and it will be your new favorite! If you're traveling, it's a short walk from Kings Cross and an even shorter walk from Euston Station. Don't miss this place! ”
“ This place was incredible!! Everything we ate was delicious. Loved the saag! Masala was delicious! Everything was so amazing! I would absolutely come back here!! ”
“ Raj was the best. Amazing table, made fabulous suggestions. Ensured our experience was the absolute best. We will be back! ”
“ I really liked this place. The food was great, I got a curry chicken, with garlic naan and rice. The naan was so doughy and crispy, it was probably some of the best I've had. The chicken itself was really good as well, it had a nice spice and the chunks were good quality. I thought one portion was small, but once I started eating realized I could only really finish half. Only complaint is that the server asked if I wanted some chutney and flat hard bread (forget the name of it now) and I said yes, only to find out it was a few pounds. He didn't tell me it was extra, but I let it slide since the chutneys were really good. ”
“ Great food and great service! Will definitely come back again. My wife loved it too and she can sometimes be a picky eater. ”
“ Delicious! My wife and I came here for a late night snack. Thankfully, they are open late until midnight. We ordered the lamb shaslik, naan, simosa and a mango lassi. The food was so yummy I totally forgot to take a photo. I don't eat Indian food a lot as there aren't many options for great Indian food in my city. The service was super friendly and attentive. Shout out to Sayid. ”
“ NGL this was the best Indian food I have ever had. We went in early on a weekday. It started with the papadam which was super fresh. The Nan was delicious as was the pakora and samosa and then ended up with tandoori vegetables and two vegetarian curry samplers. Everything was super tasty -- the spicy stuff was spicy and the service was the most attentive I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Our waiter discussed what we were familiar with from New York, how each place had different tendencies and advised us what to get. He also correctly told us we over-ordered. We didn't listen and couldn't move at the end. ”
“ This was a great find on a Sunday night in London. The place was empty I think because it's a little off the beaten path, but the food and service was great. We tried several dishes including the chicken tikka masala, the chicken tikka, and some skewered and grilled vegetables along with regular and garlic naan. Also a mango lassi! We enjoyed everything and the service was very attentive. It took a while for the food to come out but that's ok cause then you know it was made to order. I recommend, and prices were very reasonable as well. ”
