Shayona in Brent

Do traditional gujarati cooking and garden. Always tasty and reasonably priced. They do frozen party foods too.

We went with family members who do not eat onion or garlic and with most restaurants not service the catered need.. the food was fantastic for those not eating onion/garlic but overall food was good. Service a bit slow and all over but couldn't complain. Handwashing facility was outside the resturant on other side of entrance bypassing the grocery store which was a big minus. Cost wise it's can be avg to pricy depending upon what you order/how much one eats..avg is £15-£25 per person.

This is the restaurant run by BAPS Swaminarayan devotees. It's pure vegetarian restaurant and they do t use even onion and garlic. So a must recommended place for people looking for Sattvic food. Just next to it is a shopping mall and ice cream place as well maintained by devotees. Very nice food options 👌 😋.

Shayona - truely vegetarian, never disappoints for lunch or dinner. If Shayona was cricket player then it will named as - Rahul Dravid from Team India as the most consistent & reliable performance in areas of food, service and atmosphere. Thank you team Shayona for maintaining the standards of good quality food with quick service 👌 👍

We arrived there with a warm welcome and sat at a table of 4 with very comfortable chairs. The waiters were quick to ask what our order was. We ordered a masala dosa, panner tikka, dal makhni, butter nan, bhel pori and a cup of green tea. The service and food were exceptional. You can’t miss out on eating here!

Lovely venue, amazing service highly recommend this venue for parties and occasions! Shaishav bhai makes it happen!

We recently held my daughter’s engagement ceremony at Shayona in Neasden, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly managed. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Special mention goes to Tejibhai, who was outstanding in ensuring the day went smoothly, and his team was just as wonderful. The food was delicious and well catered to, offering something for everyone. All our guests commented on the fantastic atmosphere and how well the event was organised. Thank you, Tejibhai, for making this special day even more memorable.

Nice food and very friendly staff and very fast and nice service as well.

Really impressed. Service was impeccable and venue is lovely. Food was delicious, considering it contains no onion and garlic. Will definitely return.

A great place to go for pure, saatvik food, after a visit to the divine Swaminarayan Temple in Neasden, London. We were initially told there may be a 25-30 minute wait, because we were four adults and a child. But the manager very kindly found a place within a few minutes after checking with us if we would be happy to keep our kid on our lap. But I did notice a few high chairs meant for kids, and placing one at our table would have perhaps not been in the way. Maybe they should consider this point. The servive, in keeping the general attitude of everyone in and around the temple premises, was polite and helpful The service was fast, and the food was simply wonderful. A great place to visit if you are a vegetarian.

Many thanks to Shaishav bhai and his team for being very kind and providing awesome food.🙏🏻 jai siya ram

I stopped by here to eat something after visiting the Mandir, and I would definitely recommend doing so to others as well. The staff were kind and attentive and the food was great. When I couldn't finish everything, the staff were kind enough to provide me with a container to bring the rest home. Overall, it was a great experience! :)

Decent food, decent service. Family atmosphere in the lounge. Plenty of parking available too. Good for vegetarians especially Gujarati food.

Food was outstanding, spicy and flavorful. Very helpful staff. Absolutely worth the money 10/10

It's very nice place for indian vegetarian food

The service was brilliant. We didn't feel rushed to make our order which gave us time for good conversation before eating. When we did decide to order, the food arrived promptly and was very tasty. I really recommend the coconut ice cream served in the coconut shell! The staff gave my fiance the very nice pot her ice cream was served in. He saw she liked them so much that he gave her another 2 while exiting. A great experienced and a well earned solid 5 star review from me

Very nice food and ambience friendly staff specially Divyesh looked after us very well. Definitely visiting back again.

It was an amazing function (baby shower and gender revealing) and The food quality and standards were amazing The team of shayona was very helpful and well managed especially the area in charge Divyeesh and the manager Saishav.

Amazing food! Ate so much and feel so light 🤩

Lovely place great vegetarian food. Really nice people highly recommend:)

The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Divyesh, was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. He went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. We will definitely be returning for another meal soon. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal with exceptional service.

Lovely food and excellent service.So many varieties of dishes.Feel like trying it all.Excellent

Poor quality of food, we only ordered chaat items and they were pretty bad.

Shayona has been our preferred place for gastric fulfillment after regular enlightenment at the Swaminarayan temple. The restaurant is vegetarian and the taste in unparalleled. One of the reasons we also prefer visiting is the courtesy of staff and the excellent governance provide by Mr Tej. 5 stars all the way.

Very disappointed with the quality of the food. Dosa and sambar was below the average

Fabulous!! From the minute you enter. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable with a good sized crowd of people eating. Myself and my friend had the buffet for lunch and I can honestly say as a vegetarian I often find very little food to enjoy when out but this place was amazing. The flavour was spot on and a good amount of choices. The paneer masala was one of the best I have ever eaten!! Thank you for a lovely meal. We will definitely be back to try what’s on your menu as the food coming out looked mouth watering good.

Excellent vegetarian Indian food. Delicious and very good value.

Great service, so clean and fab food.

As other posters have mentioned, this isn’t just a meal but an experience. Right next to the temple you are already transported to another world before entering! The food is flavoursome, staff helpful and welcoming we left happy and very full. The restaurant is popular with families who have visited the Temple. We Were there early on Saturday afternoon and walked in.

Nice service and great food. Kind people

Excellent services and delicious food

After visiting Temepl we were recommended to eat here. It was very well priced compared to central London. We were able to take the leftovers with us. The food was very tasteful and varied. The menu was exclusively vegetarian or vegan, which goes well with Hinduism as previously learned in the temple. We were advised that some foods are spicier than others. It was very great and authentic.

Excellent 👌🏼 restaurant for satvik food. The Ambience, food and service was excellent.

Thank you so much for give me delicious Indian authentic taste with good service.shaisav Bhai and team and shayona restaurant again thank you so much 😀

Hadn’t been for ages, but Tej and his team welcomed us beautifully. Realised how much we’d missed Shayona food and great service. Thanks guys! JCx

The staff seemed to be working like mechanical robots rather than caring humans . The manager quite rigid , bordering arrogance . Ambience , cutlery , seating etc are remarkable . All food tasted almost the same !

Great food. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food taste without onions and garlic. Can’t believe it’s same taste…

Amazing place to have Indian food. They come up with new varieties and the Indo-Chinese food that they have recently launched is very tasty. Must try Chilli popcorn 😋

The most authentic Indian food we have tried in a very very long time. We were seated straight away, food was very quick to be brought out and the best chai out of the 5 restaurants/cafes we tried. High quality food and lovely setting/furniture with enjoying background music (quietly). Only marked down on service as the waitresses and waiters weren’t very friendly.

Loved the food and the ambiance of the place.

The restaurant stays busy due to the temple visitors next door. We hadn't booked in advance but managed to get a table after a short wait. The atmosphere is nice, service is good however it's let down by the food - the taste is a bland. Have visited here few years ago when it was really tasty but not a good experience this time.

The restaurant is a logical place to eat after visiting the Mandir. We have been there many times previously but I wonder if there is a different cook now. The food was very ordinary, even poor. Too much mustard in the raita, fried rice was like it had been made yesterday and heated, malai kofta curry a bit too sweet, veg jalfrezi way too tangy, sweet lassi way too sweet. The service was very good except that no one asked us for feedback on the food. We will not go back there.

Great restaurant with no onion/garlic options. It would be even better if they offered delivery through Uber Eats. I love the Matka Kulfi here. I have tried several other restaurants, but the Matka Kulfi available here is the best. They serve top-quality food. Thanks to Purvang and team for their patience whilst serving. We always go in groups, and they take good care of us. Purvang remembers what customers usually order and always tries to accommodate. He even remembers me by my Matka Kulfi, knowing it's my favorite. I think it would be great if they opened new branches. Thanks.

Visit - 01/06, Rating out of 5 Curcuri Bhindi - 5 Panipuri - 3 Dahi puri - 4 Tofu Sizzler - 2 (not a great taste, chewy tofu) Plain Dosa - 1 (it was soft like roti) Masala Dosa -1 (soft like roti) Mango lassi - 5 (amazing) Mango Orange juice - 3 Disappointed on south Indian dishes

Lovely tasty veg food. Do make a booking if going on a weekend it does get quite busy.

Shayona has always been one of the best Saatvik Restaurants in UK and have always enjoyed the variety offered here. Regrettably, upon the last two visits, it feels that the standards are falling. Had one of my favourite dishes on last visit, but sadly it was not crispy crunchy as it is supposed to be. It just appeared as if it was not freshly made and perhaps had been sitting for a while before it was served. Trust the Management will ensure that the standards peak to highest rank. Let’s make it the best.

It is such a lovely cafe with amazing food for sale at excellent prices. We purchased some spring rolls and samosas, and they were delicious! There's also stores and a restaurant to dine located here, which I haven't been to, but judging by the cafe must be just as good!

Shayona Restaurant in London isn't just a meal; it's an experience for the senses. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a vibrant world of Indian culture and culinary delights. Here's why Shayona deserves a perfect 5-star rating: A Feast for the Eyes and the Soul: The restaurant's interior is a feast for the eyes. Gone are the typical curry house clichés. Shayona boasts a contemporary Indian vibe, blending bright colors with traditional artwork and artifacts. The chandeliers and graceful foliage create an inviting ambiance that feels both stylish and sophisticated. It's a far cry from the average Indian restaurant, offering a truly unique and memorable setting. A Celebration of Vegetarian Cuisine: Shayona focuses on pure vegetarian "Saatvic" cuisine, adhering to Vaishnav, Jain, and Swaminarayan dietary requirements. This means no onion or garlic, but fear not! The chefs weave magic with spices and fresh ingredients, ensuring the flavors are anything but bland. In fact, you might be surprised you don't even miss the typical "base notes" of onion and garlic. A Culinary Adventure Across India: The menu at Shayona is a celebration of Indian diversity. It's not just your typical North Indian fare. Here, you'll embark on a culinary journey across the subcontinent. From Gujarati Thali buffets overflowing with vibrant dishes to Mumbai street food favorites like Aloo Papdi Chaat and Bhel Puri, your taste buds will be treated to a delightful exploration. Don't forget to explore the South Indian section, where you'll find delectable Dosas and Utapams. A Plethora of Options for Every Palette: While Shayona caters to vegetarians, even meat-eaters won't be disappointed. The rich flavors and textures of the vegetarian dishes are more than enough to satisfy. Additionally, the restaurant offers vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring everyone can enjoy the Shayona experience. Service with a Smile: The staff at Shayona is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They're happy to explain the menu and answer any questions you might have about the "Saatvic" cuisine. Their warm hospitality adds another layer of delight to your dining experience. A Perfect Escape for Every Occasion: Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a celebratory meal with friends, or a casual lunch, Shayona caters to all occasions. The versatile menu, coupled with the stylish yet comfortable ambiance, makes it a perfect choice for any gathering.

No reservations so we were happy when we were given a table as it was busy. Very slow service , but food was tasty , portion size generous. Our waiter was happy to help with menu choices, which was appreciated .

Straightforward great Indian food, great pricing and service.

Very delicious food, good service and arrived within a good amount of time!

Shayona is our go to restaurant! We love the décor, the atmosphere and it goes without saying the food is delicious and fresh. Big thanks to Tej and all the team for making every visit warm and friendly. See you again soon :)

The best dosa restaurant. The atmosphere here is so peaceful and it's a real haven. My family and I come here every week now because we love it so much. The staff have such a lovely way about them and the food is consistently delicious. It feels like you are eating a warm hug every time!

Disappointed at service and food. The lady who took our order was not friendly and it was a strain on her to take our order and also clear used plates. The aloo tikki tasted as if it was out of the freezer. Portions small. I am annoyed that I paid the service charge.

Always a warm welcome here, consistently tasty food, attentive service, and solid portion sizes. Prices feel reasonable considering all the above. The all-vegetarian menu is comprehensive, and I never find myself missing the option of getting a meaty dish. Parking is free and isn't an issue most of the time, but the car park can get a little busy if there is an event happening at the adjoining temple, for example. Well worth a visit. The food also travels surprisingly well if you're getting it delivered! Items are always thoughtfully packed and still taste great.

Excellent Service and delicious food - We celebrated my brother's 70th birthday here and the staff and the manager were very friendly, attentive and efficient. The family had a great time together. Loved the authentic food and it was not very oily which was great. Highly recommended for tea, snacks, dinner and lunch and if you have a group celebration - you will need to book in advance and make sure you arrive on time as this venue gets busy and is popular 10/10. Although we bought our own eggless cake, they still brought out a surprise ice-cream cake for the birthday boy! thanks once again :)

Wow, amazing restaurant, very well-deserved, hospitality Food Delicious good staff. Excellent manager with good quality staff make our day wonderful at my daughters birthday party.

After having a great time in the Mandir we decided to go Shayona cafe to grab a quick snack. This is a place I have been coming to since I was little and I was appalled to see that the customer service has diminished. We ordered all our items and asked for Masala Chips for which the lady (Vaishali) said it would take 20mins. I then said okay that’s fine and we paid, sat down and nibbled on the other snacks we bought. 30mins went by and nothing came by which time I went to the till to enquire but the lady was busy talking to her friend that had come to visit. The friend had to tell Vaishali that there is a customer waiting to be served. I enquired about the time for the chips and immediately Vaishali became defensive and said that I did not order it. She started pacing up and down and talking down to me at a fast pace. I reminded her that you said it takes 20mins and I said yes that’s fine, she proceeded to show me the receipt (which she did not give me originally) and that she did not charge me for it. I was willing to say okay let me pay for it now but she proceeded and continued to tell me No. It’s just horrible to end a great time at the mandir with rude staff with a clear language / understanding barrier and lack of customer service know how. There was no apology or want or need to rectify the situation. Also the entire duration of ‘waiting’ for the chips, I could see that she is interested in doing her job and actually quite rude and lazy. The previous uncle that used to work there prior to the new renovated cafe was absolutely brilliant. Bring him back!!!!! Someone please train Vaishali to prevent more of these incidences!!!

Super food. Good portions. Extremely reasonable pricing.

Pure vegetarian restaurant with tasty food and non alcoholic drinks.

Wonderfully authentic and delicious Indian food. Menu is inspired by both North and south Indian cuisine. A perfect pit-stop while visiting the BAPS Shri swaminarayan temple.

We visited yesterday as a family for lunch. They have a Indian superstore in the same premises and with plentiful parking(though as parking primarily is for the temple, parking might be full and blocked on event days). We ordered starters which were all great - kurkure bhindi (amazing), chilli chips (very flavorful), paneer sizzler(not so great, the sauce tasted of ketchup) and samosa chat (great). All the dishes served in this restaurant are made without onions and garlic, so that taste is missing, but nevertheless, the food is packed with flavour. Our little one had a cheese dosa with chutney and sambar (this was not good, probably a bad idea to order South Indian) We also ordered the weekend special - bajra rotla and aubergine mash, and steamed rice with okra kadhi, which was excellent! Vaghareli chaas and mango lassi were our choice of drink, both were yummy. And the mango kulfi at the end (made with Alphonso) was truly delicious!! Shopping at the Indian store next door is also a very peaceful and relaxed experience, as compared to shopping in Wembley. Only, you will not get any onions or garlic in the store either.

Manager very attentive. Food delicious.

Today we had paneer tikka masala and fried rice, it's not good at all....we had very bad experience,they should improve

First impressions are last , Toilets were very dirty ,not clean at all where we had an engagement party over there.

A la suite de la visite du temple il y a la possibilité d aller en face manger dans le restaurant. Menu buffet à volonté avec des plats 100% maison et végétariens. Ils sont peu épicés de base donc parfaits pour les palais sensibles. Service impeccable et rapport qualité prix imbattable. Il existe dans le même bâtiment un traiteur et une supérette.

Foods pre heated - unfortunately service is not that great and way overpriced

Opulently decorated Indian restaurant located in close proximity to the Neasden temple, next to an Indian sweet shop. The menu is vast and the service friendly. The dosa had a great colour and texture whilst the chilli paneer was perfect spiced. Dress code: casual Cost: ££ Service: Attentive Ambience: Quiet

Really great food, nice atmosphere and friendly service

Nice food and good customer services. Thanks

Best food ever very nice coustmer service

Enjoyed the ambience. Lovely food

Everything we ordered was delicious. Starters: Chilli Paneer Samosa Chaat Bombay Bhel Chilli mogo Bhinda/ okra Mains: Seitan curry. First time I ever tried this and it was better than a lot of chicken curries I’ve had. The menu described it as a ‘must try’ and I definitely agree. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Nothing to write home about. Pricey and limited fayre. 2024 update. Nice evening family meal in a blessed environment. Great dosa and psssionfruit juice. Everything else was average and the masala Tea was too creamy for my liking. Will return to try other menu items.

Great food, quick service and ambience is perfect, what more does one need ?

I was less excited than previous visits, the place was cold, the service was not at its best, and the food was OK, but I had to return one dish, as it was not as described. Then, the right dish was given again. Overall, 6 out of 10 on this occasion.

Brilliant restaurant located opposite the temple serving both north and south Indian cuisine lm Good food and service overall makes it a must try experience.

Lovely restaurant. Very tasty and authentic food. Friendly and efficient service. Only negative is that it's rather expensive.

Good atmosphere and seating area. Food is nice but starter portion is too small. main course is perfect. Good options available for vegetarian. Satvik food without onion and garlic. soft canned drink price is quite high compared to other restaurants. £3.50 each soft drinks like coke, pepsi.

Food was just ok but can find such on the streets of Wembley. Was definitely not worth the price. Spent 17per person on the newly yr buffet. Food was extremely oily and poor in taste. Very disappointed. The restaurant is not a Michelin star. It was on the Michelin 'guide' earlier but was later off it once the cook changed. Don't recommend 1/10

Amazing place and brilliant atmosphere. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, service time might vary.

Dull of sugar and salt considering Asians suffer most from diabetes and high BP disgusting use of sugar

Thoroughly enjoyed the Dhal Makhani and Naan. My husband had the buffet which had a variety of dishes and he also enjoyed his meal. (14.99 incl dessert which is a great deal!) The masala tea wasn’t my favorite but this could be due to my own preferences. The staff were friendly, the place is neat and clean with comfortable seating and nice decor. We will definitely return.

Shayona gets better every time. All the Sputh Indian classics - bhel puri, kachori - and superb potato bhajias. And the curries are so rich, delicately spiced and moreish. Love the methi sweetcorn in particular, and the seitan curry is also a revelation. Service is so efficient and friendly, and value is amazing.

Amazing buffet. All vegetables were very tasty, especially paneer. The bean salad prepared in mint chutney was the best part for me.

Loved the Indian vegetarian restaurant in London! The dishes were delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic. Great choice for those who enjoy tasty vegetarian food. Conveniently located near BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir with parking available – highly recommended! The price is a little high.

The ambience is great but compared to the fact that there is a plaque outside the restaurant claiming it is a Michelin star restaurant the food is not as tasty as I expected it to be. It was good but not extraordinary with all due respect. It is clean, staff if well behaved, kid friendly, and overall nice.

Superb. Vegetarian fresh food.

Good food,good service and quick

The management really needs to work on customer service! Service was very poor from the beggining till the end. We ordered passion fruit jug which had a tiny hair on it, the server didn't even appologise and didn't seemed to be too happy to replace it but eventually did it. The server only came to our table when we finish the food to ask how was it. The server was a young man and this was yesterday. We were a family of 5 and spend £90

Qualité des plats était extra ! Le service top! Nourriture très bonne! Plutôt piquant même si non noté. Très contente d’avoir mangé ici . Portion généreuses !!!!

The food was lovely and the staff are super nice! The menu has such a large variety of really delicious vegetarian dishes. My top recommendations would be their samosa chaat and Bombay aloo! Obviously to finish off - you need to order their sweet pan! Overall, I am very impressed by how they have made Stattvic cuisine so delicious and accessible! The prices are also pretty good for the quality. Will definitely come here again when I’m in Wembley.

I loved the experience with one of my friends, but i would say it's not the best but it deserves a visit

Shayona Restaurant easily earns a stellar 5-star review! The staff consistently provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit delightful. The delicious food adds another layer to the experience, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and culinary expertise. Highly recommended!

Purely vegetarian dishes and no alcohol. Reasonable prices but the most important thing was the food and service was great. However, our last visit, for 5 people cost nearly £91. I was shocked how much the cost of the dishes are. Will obviously go again but not as often

I went to attend medical research, I brought some samosa and jilabi from the counter. The restaurant was not open.

Excellent tasty food especially Panner Masala

Large selection of well prepared food. The quantity for the price is excellent value. I would recommend going and make sure you boom as it gets very busy.

The Indian food is really not good, paneer is rock solid, nothing tasted good!
