Shabab in Hammersmith and Fulham

Ordered chicken tikka was very small portion and didn't taste like tikka more just like plain chicken. Garlic naan was not tasty at all. Onion bhajis were awful taste not good. Chips were the only item we ordered that was edible the rest of the food went in the bin. I really don't like to have to complain about food but this was just awful and will not be ordering from here again. I'm glad we didn't order any curry as I can only imagine it would not have been good. If you want a nice chicken korma and pilau rice try Rose Indian takeaway on Du Cane Road same road as Hammersmith hospital.

Tip Top Kebab as always from this establishment on the Uxbridge Rd. Working locally or on the other side of the Big Smoke, I would always make the journey. Superb Chicken Shish in their flat bread & chilli sauce!! Used Deliveroo this time as holed up in a hotel on business, but would be able to dine inside once restrictions have eased 👍🏻 Been visiting here since the mid 90’s, so can definitely recommend

Visité Shabab con mi esposa mientras salía de compras. Lo que vi en línea no me preparó para lo que estaba recibiendo. Me esperaba un restaurante adecuado, pero fue más de un lugar para llevar. Nos sentamos y fui al mostrador, pero tuve que esperar un rato antes de que me atendieran. Pedí una parrillada mixta, que especifiqué que quería primero, como un entrante. Para los platos principales pedí un pollo karahi con naans. Recibimos los entrantes y los platos principales al mismo tiempo, por lo que teníamos un curry, una parrilla, naans y arroz en la mesa, todo al mismo tiempo. Nos apresuramos a comerlo ya que no queríamos que se enfriara. Las chuletas de cordero, aunque sabían bien, eran muy duras. El sheek kebab era muy pobre, no tenía buen sabor ni buena calidad de carne. Había 2 tipos de pollo en la parrilla, uno era muy agradable y el otro no. El pollo karahi, que pedí ser caliente, era todo menos eso, pero era bastante agradable.

Incluso un tonto como yo sabe cuando encuentra algo subvalorado. Vinimos justo después de que abrieran. Este lugar tiene el brillo de la meca de la comida de la noche, pero tiene calificaciones de 5 estrellas. La decoración es sencilla, comida rápida étnica, con un estilo de camisa sucia que los estudiantes aman y el círculo de buitres de cultura. Así que esperaba tener que aprovechar mi Zimmerman interior y aceptar el desafío. Pero estaba equivocado. Maravillosamente, el vientre - terriblemente mal. Hacen un excelente jalfrezi, y una espléndida korma, sus samosas vegetarianas son delicias escamosas y su cebolla bahji es brillante, cada bocado sabroso con especias está bien equilibrado. Uno de los hermanos, los propietarios, Shah, habló con nosotros probablemente más de lo que la mayoría de los clientes agradecerían, pero nos encantó este lugar y él tiene un buen corazón. Claramente, ofrece excelentes sabores a un precio razonable y predigo que muchos de los estudiantes vecinos que descubran este lugar encontrarán un amor de por vida por la cocina india que ninguna cantidad de búsqueda coincidirá. ¿Este lugar acepta reservas? No ¿Estaba lleno de hipsters? No, solo nosotros dos y unos pocos trabajadores entrando y saliendo. Servilletas de tela? Nah Tuvimos una fiesta para dos a las 19. Creo que deberías ir aquí. Come la comida. Cuando te vayas, no olvides agradecer a los hermanos y estrechar la mano de Shah.

Es un coma informal Shabab en restaurante con una preciosa fachada de la tienda. Si buscas comida india, este es el lugar para ir. Pedí la parrillada mixta y estaba delicioso! Disfruté de todas las carnes a la brasa, pero las chuletas de cordero era mi favorito. Estoy sin duda volveremos para probar el curry! Recomiendo encarecidamente Shabab!

Mi novia y yo tropezamos con esta joya preciosa de un lugar durante el cierre masivo de Londres durante los años nuevos. Hombre. . déjame decirte que me impresionó. Si quieres el mejor curry en Londres, ven aquí. . cambiará tu vida y tu paladar. Es un lugar pequeño y sin pretensiones. . pero nunca lo olvidarás

The sign outside Shabab is fantastic - it glows, it changes colour - it’s tasteful, it’s suspiciously hi-tech. It’s a really great sign. But - you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, or so they say. If that maxim were true, and we shouldn’t judge books by covers, then the food in Shabab has no business being as good as that sign. Right ? Wrong. Let me paint you a picture. It’s a cold night in January, you’ve been on the pints for a few hours and you’re feeling a bit fuzzy. It starts to rain. A deep rumble echoes up from your belly. You’re starving. You scan your surroundings for a worthy establishment. Fish Bar - heart attack, Rooster’s Hut - salmonella, Chicken Cottage - well I mean… AND THEN SUDDENLY, you see a warm glow of colour pulsing softly in the distance, blue to green to red. A mirage ? A trick of the light ? It calls you, beckons to something deep inside your soul. Wallahi it’s a sign. You narrow your eyes to try to make out what it says through the film of precipitation. S—H—A—B—A—B. Not kebab. Not Shey Bu. Shabab. You cross the road and the sign comes into focus. It’s beautiful. It’s changing colour. Stay calm. Get inside. First off, it is as warm as toast in there. The decor is way on point. Next thing, bossman is a right geezer with a big smile and a dangly earring. “Alright my friend, fine thanks mate, how’s it going, decent.” Right. It’s selection time. The menu is simple but effective. They do not like to piss about in Shabab. Wise man say you should get a Chicken Shwarma. If you know you know. The Mercedes Benz of late night munch. A true feat of gastronomic design. And Shabab’s Shwarma is up their with the best of them. Shavings of chicken topped with pickled turnips, garlic sauce, fresh salad leaves and chilis creating a mindboggling combination of textures and flavours. Crispiness, succulence, crunch, and delicious ooze - a veritable symphony of sweetness and spice - all wrapped up in a hot fluffy freshly baked naan bread. Shut up. At £3.95 the Chicken Shwarma is a thrifty choice as well - hopefully it won’t break the bank - so why not make it a meal for £4.95 and get chips and a drink. Go on then. You won’t regret it. So, a message to all you whiny non-judgers of book covers - get yourself down to Waterstones pronto and find yourself the glossiest cover you can, because the spell is broken.

Shabab attracts numerous diners - many going for the doner kebab but it does a number of other dishes as well It has chicken tikka, various lamb kebab, samosas, bhajias occasionally lamb chops and tandoori chicken These are all pretty good - the kofte kebab roll in a freshly baked naan is exceptionally good. You can ask for their chilli sauce which is exceptionally tasty However it is the curries that the restaurant does that keeps us returning The number of curries is limited but they are all delicious. I particularly like their chicken dhansak but heir Madras is also very good Their rice is good and their naans are always freshly made For those who want it there are chips available You can sit and eat there but it is not licensed so no alcohol The food here knocks the spots of the majority of local India restaurants that have culinary pretensions that they rarely fulfil
