Shaheen Tandoori Restaurant in Southwark

Best traditional pakistani food ive had in london hands down. 10 out of 10 for prices and quality of food amazing.my new regular to get my food even though takes me 45 min to get there.

Really enjoyed the delicious foods are there

I have been a customer for over 10 years. Gem of a Pakistani restaurant in the Waterloo area! The butter chicken, kebabs, biryanis and naan breads are mouth watering. Prices are very low and I hope it stays that way. The only area where this restaurant lacks is its ambience. Extremely dull but we anyways get it delivered.

Really good Indian cuisine. Service a little slow, but good. Small place that can accommodate much more than would be possible 😅. Nice place to go to eat inexpensively.

good tasty food, perhaps bit more massala. that said good value food at very good price. delivered hot. more starter options would be nice, will use again

Lamb Bhuna was delicious and naan was very generous. Very cheap too.

Very nice food. If you want to enjoy geniun Pakistani Desi food, you would love to eat there.

Very Nice Desi food. If you want to enjoy real Pakistani Halal food. This is the best place to eat in. You can also customise it according to your taste. I enjoyed the lamb bhuna and chicken tikka which is my favourite.

Had a bad experience today while ordering through just eat. I ordered saag ghost but they provide me this chana dal. How they can make this type of mistake?? I don't even eat this thing & looks too oil in it. I ordered Lamb biryani as well but it was that much dry I can't even eat more than two bite. And also rice looks like old & they mix some masala in it. When I called them they said they can't do anything 😃 If they can't do anything then why they do mistake & why they receive orders online. I was hungry from morning but saw this food worth £20 +, worst thing. Worst service. Please let the suitable person over phone who at least know how to deal with customers & talk in english.

Waste of money & waste of time as well 😃 Food taste & behaviour below average

A bit amazing Indian food, delicious and delicious

Biryani only arrived with rice and nothing else. Every bite was severe spice with no flavour

Nice and tasty food. Authentic taste.

Very bad taste and service is very very bad no atmosphere is good very bad experience waste of money

We were in the area of London Eye searched Halal, search brought us to this one, not a hit but wont call a miss. We ordered Naans with mix grill BBQ , portion was sufficient and food was okay! When you are hungry you really just want to eat. For flavor it could do better. Bathroom is so small and untidy. They need to work on more kids friendly seatings.

Traditional Pakistani dishes at an affordable price near central London 👍🏼

Very tasty curries and appetisers in a simple setting. Three of us shared 2 starters, 2 curries and 3 naans. Very good value and a full dining room when we left. Alcohol free.

Very disappointing in flavours, both curry was very bland in taste, tasted watered down. My order was over £30 and didn't even get my free popedom. With so many other Indian take away, I am unlikely to order from here again.

Went to London for vacation and everyone told me to get some Indian food, it’s the best. In a rainy night I saw this place open a block from our hotel. It was small, very very small, but packed with people. Glad I was patient and waited for a seat. I don’t know what I have been eating all my life in America but it doesn’t even compare to the flavors I had here. Put this on your list of places to eat. Wish I had taken more pictures but we couldn’t wait 2 seconds to dive into our other dishes.

Great taste and fair prices. Customer service is really appreciating.

Little hole in the wall with great food, generous portions, definitely made with lots of love :)

First order from here and I enjoyed it very much. very reasonable priced. I will get a second order. thanks to the chefs.

Visited this place after a day out on The Embankment. The décor will not flatter you but i often find with these places, its the tastes rather than the atmosphere that you remember. The food was what i would describe as 'homely' well prepared and cooked. The chicken biriyani and Lamb karahi was of particular good taste. The portions of the food are generous and kind. I would go for more of the vegetable dishes too. The butter chicken tasted different to what those regular orders of this dish can enjoy. The place is clean and toilets are hygienic. The final bill was very reasonable. Overall this is a great restaurant if you are wanting decent home food at a great price.

The food is delicious and very well made, freshly prepared! Not a very high end restaurant, and so extremely affordable and also delightfully serviced.

Amazing food and mind blowing prices. 3 appetizers, 3 meals, 2 orders of naan, and 5 cans of soda for £35. Never have I seen such good prices for such good food, even in the US. We will definitely be back before we leave London!

After a movie all you need is a good meal and this place ticks the boxes for those coming to BFI to see a movie. Food is great and the only thing that will deter anyone is there is no alcohol served or tolerated which was absolutely fine by me. Loved the Pakistani food, as always they’d never disappoint!

Lo descubrimos en Tripadvisor y nos pillaba cerca del hotel. El aspecto es bastante cutre, como un bar de barrio muy básico. Sin embargo la comida, la cantidad y el precio es genial. No es un sitio idílico, pero para comer bien y barato en Londres, lo cual no es fácil, me parece una opción magnífica si te gusta la comida India. Y puedes pedir para recoger.

Absolutely amazing food. Used for a corporate event recently and fed close to 100 people. The speed of service and delivery to our building was excellent and Hafiz was brilliant all over. Thank you so much. Highly recommended food. You wont be disappointed.

So glad I ordered from here. Staying over a few days for business and not familiar with the area, so wanted something nice and this did not disappoint. Great fresh food and the flavours are lovely. Lamb biryani was amazing with a generous portion size and a generous amount of meat. Would definitely order again. P.s thanks for the dates

Great food! Went two times while we were visiting!

Amazing food for a great price. It can take a little while and the lighting is weird, but the food is soooooo worth it and the people here are super friendly.

Me and my family ate here back in August last year food was great and staff were friendly. Give it a go

Really good food and Good staff.

Had quemma lamb biryani. Tastes good. Serving is good. Price is very reasonable

Fabulous food - it’s as good as Brigadiers at about a quarter of the price. It’s small very friendly and family run, and there is no alcohol. Everything was delicious - we had the prawn special, a Dansak and a kebab - and the huge Lassis are out of this world. Great Naans. We ate to our hearts’ content - two people just over £30

what a gem of a place this is!! i just had chicken curry and rice lunch deal for £6.50 it was absolutely delicious ! a classic chicken curry .. the staff were friendly and kind. I will def be returning and recommending this place to friends

Fantastic nonsense authentic food at very reasonable cost

the restaurant was closed when I checked but they accepted my order, charged me for it and didn't deliver it

Great Food Great Service cheap❤️‍🔥

Authentic honest food. Delicious not over priced. Very respectful staff . Will b back. Highly recommend.

Quiet place. We arrived late at the hotel and it was close by. We walked in and the staff was very friendly. They helped us choose the food and warned us that we had ordered too much, which is appreciated. The food is very rich and authentic. Highly recommended.

Seekh Kebab was great as well as the Mango shake. The Biryani was not fresh, was not the worst, however the rice was an instant microwaved meal. The food you could taste was not fresh and qualified the same texture, flavor and smell profile as instant microwaved rice. I have biryani often from an asian household and this restaurant did not represent any form of accurate taste / freshness. Was dissapointed, attempted to contact support, however no form of support whatsoever, would not recommend unless the recipie is changed / fresh ingreedients used.

Hi everything excellent 💯 out of 💯

Their chilli sauce is out of this world, I come from North London just to have their chilli sauce and the prices are shockingly good especially given they are in Waterloo

Very bad biryani that I have ever had in my life….Just 2 very tiny pieces of chicken in the chicken biryani. Very disappointed

I've eaten or bought food to take home and food never let me down Reading other reviews never had issue with anything very polite staff always welcome

Ordered a lunch deal £8.90 lamb and race includes nothing eles , tiny potion rice in the same box as lamb and I bearly got 3 tiny small pieces of lamb took me 3 minutes to eat this meal thats how small it was.

Zabardast, brilliant staff and great service. Keep up this good work!

V delicious food, nice hospitality.

I loved the food, you need to tell them if you don't want it spicy, otherwise they have a tasty and spicy Pakistani dishes.

Poor quality and quantity (too much less) of food. Pricy against the market. Not recommending!

Great customer service, great food, very reasonably priced.

Fantastic food 🍲 pure Desi taste must try it

The food was too oily, vegetable biriyani was very spicy.

Doesn't look much from the outside but the food is brilliant. I will go back again when in the area!

It is a very good place to eat Pakistani cuisine.. dishes are authentic...we tried chicken tikka, chicken roasted leg pieces, butter chicken and aloo chana with garlic naan , butter naan , simple naan and roti and chicken biryani...it was yummy...the staff was very kind and humble and nice.

Shaheen Tandoori Restaurant liegt 5 Minuten zu Fuß von Waterloo Station entfernt. Einfach ehrliches Pakistani / Indisches Home Made Essen. Wir hatten Chicken Madras, Lamm Dhansak und Raita mit Reis und Naan - alles super lecker. Und: stabile Preise! Ich war mit dem Drieschner da und wir haben zusammen 23£ bezahlt.

Authentische Gerichte in ansprechender Atmosphäre zu fairen Preisen. Stimmiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß von Waterloo Station entfernt. Glasklare Empfehlung 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I have a good experience in Shaheen tandoori restaurant , food was very delicious like a home made food taste. I suggest everyone must visit and enjoy delicious food.

Delicious food with excellent hospitality

Best food ever. I go here at least once a week and always crave more.

Very reasonably priced and the good was very good. Staff was very friendly.

To be fair it was ok, but i thought it was a bit bland.

Great first experience, food was delicious, definitely use them again

Place is great for a quick meal stop , they have a nice menu and also set meals which are reasonably affordable. Gives a feel of home cooked food. Interiors are very simple but it's the vibe of the place so it works for it.

Wir waren begeistert, Tolles Preis Leistungsverhältnis

Excellent food although a bit oily. Seems to be a family run place which is why the food is quite home like. Limited number of people can dine in (perhaps 25-28) in one go.

Best Indian food ever. The people were friendly and the place is so natural and really nice. The food came a bit late. But it was absolutely worth it

Locale piccolo molto informale. Cibo ottimo e preparato al momento. Prezzi assolutamente competitivi. Buona varietà di menù

I popped in whilst on my trip to London. I walked past this beautiful place. It was the best food around. I highly recommend this place, Best tandoori restaurant in the UK

Fantastic lamb curry, naan bread and pilau rice. Easily the best curry I’ve had for many years. Good friendly service and well priced. I liked the minimal interior too. I’ll be back soon.

Really tasty food and good quality.. Would order again

The price and quality of food are very fine. The sitting atmosphere was literally not bearable in this hot weather. Also, the food was not served properly.

Service was fast and food was good, just a little less oil and a bit more salt would do wonders!

Bad food, it was not biryani it was plane rice and chicken put inside. Avoid this restaurant. Selling plain rice and calling it biryani. No taste of biryani

I’m sorry to say but the food was honestly awful. It was just a sea of oil with a lump of dry chicken here and there. Just eat would not even give the courtesy of a refund! Will not be buying from here every again!

Very good pakistani hotel near london eye(10 min walk approx) The owner was polite and kind and even arranged prayer mat.

Good food with great price. Good service.

After university classes me and my friends are hungry so its near to my university...we planned and go there..the place is very neat and clean ..we order food..but food taste is not good even curry are sweet rather than spicy..rice are too much spicy like spices are not cooked properly...not recommended

I went for a collection, ordered 2 chicken biryanis 2 seekh kebabs, and tandoori chicken and a nan bread, everything was excellent the biryanis good portions, the only issue was the tandoori chicken it needed to be cooked more as it was not tender slightly soft that's probably down to the clay oven, the mint source with chicken biryani taste really good

The food was ok. I ordered a large kebab roll for £5. Price was ok. But i wasnt asked if i wanted salad or extras. He just offered medium or hot. And upon opening lack of chilli sauce and garlic sauce which is a staple with Kebab rolls was missing. Very thin on the salad and also just brushed with mayonnaise.. disappointing in a sense as i had high expectations. I asked for not hot. And it was medium to hot which was a bit ott. Nevertheless it was ok.. would i go there again? If i was offered and elaborated upon with what my dish entails then yes. Otherwise its a no.

Very poor. The jalfrezi ordered seems like heated in a microwave from frozen. Tbh if it was salted enough it would have tasted better. It's pathetic people can't balance the basic flavours. Indian food is a balance of salt sour and chilli. The kebab was dry. Don't know how else to explain. The beauty of Indian food is awakening all your senses as the food touch your tounge. It did fill me up. The portion was good but no taste

Masha’Allah Allahumma baarik amazing food a service ! Even though they were close to closing the service was so friendly . Chicken Karahi and butter roti were like home cooked

Food was tasty and the delivery boy was so Good in behaviour....

Biryani doesnt taste like well, the aroma of spices wasn’t there, felt as simply added some turmeric powder ,cumin powder cooking along with rice and chicken, side was opened and leaked out of the packaging

Very poor stuff, don't go there

Excellent, very tasty food. Good flavour, excellent roti.

Friendly service and lots of options on the menu. Tasty food. Was surprised that the Tarka dal was made with split yellow peas and not red lentils, but flavour was still nice.

I asked for the haleem to be the least hot as possible and it was really hot.

There was no samosa but wonderful food

Excellent service. Lovely food. Nice tea. Toilet area very basic. Customer service is also very good

Good food and service. Not nice place and bathroom.

Ordered chicken biriyani and lamb biriyani, first time ordering from this restaurant and they totally dissapoitend me, the lamb biriyani looked fresh. BUT THE CHICKEN BIRIYANI WAS CLEARLY SOMEONE'S LEFT OVERS, THAT THEY JUST PACKED AND DELIVERED TO MY PLACE, THE BIRIYANI HAD SALAD AND MIXED YOGHURT MIXED WITH THE RICE. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME ORDERING FROM HERE... MY ADVICE IS DONT ORDER FROM HERE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO EAT SOMENES LEFT OVER!!! VERY DISSAPOINTED

The food arrived very warm and well packed which was great but the quality of the food was very poor. The naan tasted old and sweet (?) and the lamb did not smell nice and the salan was tasteless. They did not give chillies and ginger with it as requested either

I have already been to their restaurant in 2019 when I came to visit London, I had the opportunity to come to London again to celebrate the New Year, we went to this place immediately after the fireworks, we ate well, the food of excellent quality, the owners and staff were very kind and I was satisfied they treated us like family, unfortunately I didn't have time to stay more than 1 day in London, I returned immediately after the new year to Italy, next time if I have the opportunity to go to London again, I will go again to eat, they are really kind, thank you soo much .🥰🥰🥰🥰

My wife and I were staying at The Hampton By Hilton Waterloo in January 2023 and discovered this little gem. It is a very basic but charming family run establishment. The guy working there was so friendly and helpful and we both had a fantastic meal at a very reasonable price indeed. Thank you so much. Highly recommended!!

I love this restaurant: good food, great service and atmosphere to match.

I visited Shaheen Tandoori at central London during my stay in London, I ordered few dishes and they prepared it rightly according to the traditional way, specially their dishes Lamb Karahi and Butter Chicken was very delicious and tasty. I also drink Yummy Manago Lessi with my food,

Fantastic Pakistani food must try haleem naan

Been looking for a proper chicken karahi near me for a year. So glad to have found this place.
