Shah Tandoori

In Euston, Shah Tandoori champions the fire and fragrance of classic tandoori cookery and curry-house comforts. The clay oven takes centre stage, bringing smoke, sizzle and spice into harmonious focus, while creamy masala sauces add a luxuriant counterpoint.

Starters lean into familiar cravings with a deft hand: onion bhaji spun with potatoes, crushed red chillies, curry leaves and mustard seeds, and seekh kebab mulmali, its minced lamb skewered and chargrilled for a lick of heat. There is chaat for those who like a tangy tease, from aloo chaat bright with chaat masala to chicken tikka lifted from the clay oven, tender and aromatic.

From the tandoor, the tandoori chicken sizzler arrives with theatre, its yogurt and spice marinade caramelised at the edges, while king prawn shaslik pairs plump seafood with aromatic vegetables. House signatures keep things indulgent: chicken tikka masala in a creamy veil and lamb shaslik masala bringing depth and warmth. The through line is balance, smoke and spice, freshness and richness.

For an easy-going meal in the city’s heart, Shah Tandoori keeps the flavours front and centre. Book a table, follow the sizzle, and let the spice speak for itself.
