Excellent food in an intimate setting with very professional servers. It's an easy walk from Paddington Station. We loved every delicious dish we ordered.
Popped into this lovely and unassuming Indian restaurant after hearing great local reviews. I was on the hunt for some Indian take-away after a long day exploring London and the Paddington location was very close to the station! There seemed to be regulars dining in and really enjoying the food which seemed like a positive. I wasn't feeling very adventurous so ordered the chef specialty dish of butter chicken with saffron pulao rice and garlic naan. The rice and garlic naan were separate. The chicken is cooked in the tandoor and you can really taste the smokeyness it adds to it. I enjoyed the dish very much, although it was a bit sweeter than what I'm used to. The garlic naan was delicious! Also a pleasant surprise was what I believe to be a large puffed rice cracker/cake and mint parsley chutney that was added in complimentary! Would recommend stopping in.
Delicious lamb chops and the food is so yummy. The staff is also amazing. My go to Indian restaurant in London.
Just FYI, on the receipt is called Shahjahan Restaurant now. The food was delicious!!! I picked vegetable samosas, the Achari Gosch lamb dish + a side of rice, and also ordered garlic naan to finish my delicious sauce! They were out of the honey dessert, but that's okay because I was too full anyway. Until next time!!
I been coming this place since 2005. great service great food and very resonabl compare to other place around Paddington. butter chicken is my favourite and garlic Nan. Every time I come I am satisfied with the food And service.
AMAZING! We had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and kararhi gosth (lamb) for our mains. Samosas and lamb sheesh kabobs for starters. All incredible. And the service was fantastic, as well. Super nice guys running the place.
Best Shahi Chicken Korma & Chicken Tikka Massala I have ever had! Both savory, and creamy with the sweetness from the coconut milk & tender chunks of chicken. The Saffron Pilau Rice was fluffy & tasty & paired well together. We ordered a side of Garlic Nann which is an absolute must! I love hot sauce & they have two. I chose the 'hottest' which was the vindaloo & it was flavorful with just the right amount of heat to add to any dish. The Mango Lassi was sweet & salty, & the perfect balance to the entrees. I highly recommend this Indian restaurant located in a gorgeous area. We sat outside on a lovely evening at around 9p & the sun was just setting. There's a 'roundabout' in front of the restaurant that gave us a good laugh as the drivers completely miss it so it's an entertaining area. Enjoy!
NoorJahan is great neighborhood Indian restaurant. It is located in Paddington and has sidewalk seating as well as indoor, air conditioned seating. On the night we went, it was a little later and was much cooler than it had been so we sat outside. The host promptly greeted us and sat us at a table and gave us menus. We had out backpacks with us and he kindly took them and placed them off to the side so they weren't at our feet. Our server cam to greet us and brought water. We asked a couple questions about the menu. I asked if they had lamb korma. It wasn't on the menu but he said they could still make it. Score!!! He also told me about different rice options to go with the curry that I hadn't seen on the menu. We ended up ordering a lamb seekh kebab appetizer, garlic naan, lamb korma with coconut rice, panir makhani and plain rice. Yes this was for two people and somehow we did eat almost all of it! The seekh kebab's were absolutely wonderful. They were full of flavor and then came with this herb sauce that made it even better. I could eat those once a week easily! The garlic naan was very good. It has a good amount of garlic and coriander which is my favorite part. The bread was also nice a slightly fluffy. The lamb korma was not like I get in the states. It was a little sweet with no heat. I actually liked it. It was different but very good. The lamb was very tender and the sauce had a wonderful flavor and consistency. The coconut rice was amazing! I could eat it on a regular basis, it honestly didn't even need the curry but it just added something even more special to the curry and I really enjoyed it! My sister seemed to like her panir makhani and rice. The meal was well priced, about on par with other Indian restaurants. The service was great and at the end we got this very yummy little piece of chocolate. Great service, great food, nice sidewalk restaurant. Seriously a great meal. I would easily recommend and if I lived anywhere in the vicinity I would be there on a regular basis!
