I am SO GLAD I did. My server was super helpful answering my questions and helping me home in on something unique I hadn't experienced before. ... and WAS IT REMARKABLE!!!! I ended up selecting the Biryani Shah Jahani (Lamb) and some Tandori Partatha bread. The flavor was explosive on my pallet. I requested it as a medium spice level and was concerned that it may have been too "tame." In the end it was perfect (for my tastes). Had a nice amount of heat but not overly so. I'm here all week and can see myself swinging back by here multiple times. A definite place to add to your list of must experience Indian restaurants in London!!!

Absolutely loved Tayyabs!…read more The one thing I knew I needed when visiting London was Indian food and I'm so happy I found this restaurant. Found this restaurant on Yelp after seeing such great reviews and I wasn't disappointed! At first, I was nervous my friend and I wouldn't get a table due to how busy the restaurant was but since we were only two people, we had no issue getting a table. Seating is tight! You are almost arm to arm with the individuals sitting around you which I actually found to be a great experience. My friend and I ended up striking conversation with the people next to us which led to a fun dining experience. Service was quick! We ordered food and it came out quickly and all waiters were super attentive. In terms of food, everything was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were huge! First we ordered the lamb chops and the samosas which were absolutely amazing. We then ordered the chicken and lamb dishes with the naan which completely filled us. I can't wait to come back and I will absolutely be dreaming about this restaurant until I come back!

The tandoori items come out sizzling on a hot plate marinated to perfection. They also bring you some complimentary pappadum and salad. There are three sauces on each table (yogurt, a sweet hot sauce, and a tamarind? Sauce. A pitcher of water is also there for your convenience which I love. All the items are very reasonably priced. On my way out I noticed some people bringing in beer so maybe BYOB? I would definitely come back here. Seems like it gets busy so plan accordingly.

So glad I did! We ordered the mixed grill, garlic naan, cheese naan, saag paneer, chicken korma, gulab jamun, and a few other dishes. Every single thing was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The cheese naan in particular? Unreal. Easily my favorite thing on the table. And don't even get me started on the chai tea. It might actually be the best I've ever had. Spiced just right, comforting, and served piping hot. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance is equally impressive. Traditional Pakistani decor, dim lighting, and elegant details make the whole experience feel special. Honestly, I don't understand how this place has less than four stars on Yelp. It's criminal. If you're in Knightsbridge and looking for authentic, delicious Pakistani food in a beautiful setting, go to Shezan. You won't regret it.

And when you go inside it really does look like one of those old style 1980's pakistani cafe's but hey there is a reason this restaraunt has been here since 1979. It serves a wide variety of home style pakistani food at a very cheap price. A generous tandoori chicken leg can be had for £2.50, a nan for £1, they serve a wide range of curries and rice dishes and fresh fruit drinks.I would stress the food is most adequate. The menu has something for everyone. The furniture hasnt changed much since 1979 but that is part of the appeal I have always liked this place. It has a warm welcoming atmosphere, friendly yet unobtrusive staff (always respectful no matter how big or small your order), and a nice view outside. 85%

They have done an impressive job on the remodel updating it with a bright and clean interior tastefully decorated and well equipped. Two large screen TV's play Bollywood music videos and sporting events. When you enter there is a small kebab shop and takeaway, and you enter through the second set of doors to the dining room. The food is amazing! A dazzling array of choices and some special items. We ordered Karahi Fish, Karahi Methi Gosht, Tarka Daal and a whole tandoori chicken. This was more than enough food for four and we were all very happy to try so many tasty items. First the fish was perfectly prepared and delicately spiced. It had a great texture and wasn't "swimming" in sauce. The lamb curry was ordered spicy and the chef actually came to ask us how spicy we actually wanted it, so we explained EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA hot.. he laughed and asked if we were sure and we said we were. He delivered! It was a spicy inferno without being overpowering. The daal was very nice but the highlight was the Tandoori chicken.. it was the most flavorful one we had tried in a long time and came out perfectly moist and juicy and oozing with flavour, and at 7 quid it was quite a deal as well. We also noted on the menu the chefs special.. a WHOLE LEG OF LAMB! We vowed a night of hedonism and drinking accompanied by a lamb feast. We followed through the following week and we were rewarded for our determination with a stunning piece of culinary magic. The leg of lamb was so tender and flavourful that we decided to make it a monthly ritual.. but be forewarned you have to order it 24 hours in advance.. so think ahead! The Lahore Masala House is a welcome addition to the Kentish Town landscape.. they have great lunch deals and they also stay up late for those leaving the locals or the Forum.
