We (one Brit, one American) wandered into Shaan on a rainy Monday night at the tail end of a two…read moreweek visit to family in England. We wanted something spicy and flavorful but hopefully lighter than the usual heavy Indian fair. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant is nicely appointed with cloth tablecloth's, interesting illuminated wall carvings and cascades of bubbles from two thin glass tanks on the back wall. There were other diners as it is obviously a popular local spot. We ordered beers and papadums to start, and then each had a lamb dish - a ginger spiced curry for my husband and shashlik tandoori for me. We added garlic naan, saffron rice, and an okra dish, and some hot (as in chili) sauce to accompany the mains. The lamb was lean, flavorful and beautifully spiced. There were lots of nice touches - hot plates to keep the food warm, limes slices with our water, a freshness to everything. I love Indian food but it can often be heavy and this was refreshingly light. The staff was extremely pleasant and the bathrooms were clean. We ended up with enough food to take a good bit home and enjoy for lunch tomorrow. Bravo Shaan!

On Trip Advisor, this restaurant had over 230 ratings with a rating of 4.5/5.

A family-run establishment that serves constantly excellent Indian cuisine. The proprietor is one of the most pleasant and genuinely customer-service focused restauranteurs that I've ever met. I've had the pleasure to be served by his sons too (who are a credit to him). The staff always have a smile and take time to talk to you regardless of what you're there for. The actual choice of food is wide and features many dishes that other restaurants don't offer. If you want to be adventurous, ask for some guidance about what's delicious and they'll even customize a dish to your liking. Curry Paradise has to be one of the best places to enjoy a satisfying meal with friends or order a takeaway to enjoy at home during Match Of The Day. Witney has many extremely good Indian restaurants, however, Curry Paradise wins due to [them] treating all of their customers with the respect that is (sadly) lacking in many places.

I let Jane and Oli do most of the ordering, since they are regulars and not everything translates into American English and English English the same way. We started with papadum and relish tray, and a couple of Kingfishers (on draft). For the table we ordered pillau rice, naan (2 kinds, but can't remember which 2), and saag paneer. I chose the Hozor Ki Pasandwalla Murghi because I wanted to try to pronounce it, and it's one of Oli's favorites. It's thinner sauce with nice heat and a good amount of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. He chose the Chicken Laknavi, and Jane chose the Chicken Pasanda. Everything was nicely spiced - heat but still flavor. Portions were generous - we probably only needed half as much, but we couldn't resist all the flavors. We were treated to a drink afterwards with our bill, and Bailey's was a perfect digestif with the chocolate. On our way out, we were given a 2019 calendar as a holiday present. I'm looking forward to another delicious and friendly meal when I'm back in Oxford!

We started with the papadam with chutney assortment. There was plenty of everything in the assortment, and the papadaum was fresh and crispy. When it came time to order, everything sounded so delicious, and I was amused at how things seemed to be spelled slighlty differently than in the US. I decided on Lamb tikka masala, while Jimmy got the Chicken Korai spicy. We also got rice and naan for each of us. The food was delicious. The sauces were rich and flavorful. The meat was tender, not dry. The naan was slightly crunchy on the bottom and fluffy on top, just the way I love it. The portions were generous. We definitely could have been full from half as much food. Service was great, making sure that our water glasses were filled (perhaps they were worried about Jimmy ordering spicy food) and always checking that we had everything we needed.
