Shezan Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Probably the best Indian food of my life.

I think the food was spectacular and so flavourful, I loved the butter chicken!! Amazing atmosphere, great staff who checked on us and always made sure we had something to drink. Overall 5/5! I would definitely go back!

Some of the best tasting food I've ever had, hope to come back to london soon just so I can visit this gem again

Fantastic restaurant, amazing food, easy parking, immaculate service. Beautiful experience for a special occasion. Highly recommend. We frequently go as a family and as a couple. Authentic, fresh and flavourful food in a gorgeous restaurant.

I spent the evening there with my family and we had a lovely experience! The ambience was amazing, the food was great and the service was so so good. I’ll definitely be back soon.

A restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. Great food and outstanding service.

One of my favourite restaurants in London and the best for authentic Indian food! The whole atmosphere and decor of Shezan is amazing - you feel like you're walking into Aladdin's Cave as you come downstairs; it's so beautiful and the staff could not be more welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious both times that I have been here and the staff are great at recommending what you might enjoy if you're not too sure - my favourite is the Jhinga Shahi. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in or around London!

The food at Shezan is absolutely amazing, and the ambience is delightful too! A wonderful spot for a great dining experience.

Fantastic food, such a beautiful restaurant, and the staff were all super nice. We had a great experience here and left satisfied. Highly recommend.

Stunning, love it!! Love the food, love the staff!! Been back many times and never disappoints

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Was visiting from out of town and wanted authentic Indian and that’s exactly what we got - all dishes were delicious and we ordered a lot and I mean a lot. Kitchen was fast and food was perfect no corners were cut to make us have the best time ever! Would definitely come again

The worst Indian restaurant in 2024

Great service and the food was amazing! The lamb chops were one of the best ive had - highly recommend!

A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Avoid this restaurant. Paid over 200 pounds, food was extremely bland and poor quality. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Manager displayed zero empathy. I will never return.

The location is through a residential area, so I think it's a good idea to check the map carefully.As we love Freddie Mercury, we booked a seat where Freddie often sat and were guided around.Freddie My favorite beer is Kingfisher, and the okra curry is also delicious.The three spice pastes they serve first are all delicious😋I visited there once for lunch, but please research the days and hours they are open before visiting. This is the only restaurant that is still open today among the restaurants loved by Freddie Mercury.Even if you are not a Queen fan, I recommend this restaurant as it is very exotic and delicious.Also, there is art of Freddie drawn by a Japanese person inside the restaurant. All of the staff at the store are friendly and full of hospitality. Thank you very much.

We spent the evening together with our family. We shared both starters and main courses and enjoyed all the good spices. This was a full evening and we couldn't get enough of all these different flavors and dishes. A personal favorite was long-boiled lamb in a perfect sauce and a vegan dish with chickpeas. Very talented and professional staff who made us feel at home. Will definitely be back on next London visit!!

Fuimos recibidos y atendidos por Fernández. El restaurante es espacioso e interesantemente decorado. Servicio rápido, buen vino , comida deliciosa y los precios son un poco en el lado alto para los restaurantes indios. Éramos 9 personas, todos nos encantó lo que teníamos. Pedí el n.o 17, cordero, y estaba muy deliciosa.

Me and my wife booked a table in this fantastic establichment. We started with a glas of Champagne in the lounge with lots of interesting decorations on the table. I orderd a starter, lambchops and grilked prawns which was very good. The head corse was mixed grill, lots of indian/pakistan diches with longcorn rice that was fantastic flavored. This food gave me altmost a religious expirience, i looked up to see if it was angels that came down to serve us this delisius food. The staff was very professional, friendly and discreet. Thank you for the best dinner expirience of our life!

I ordered chicken biryani, chicken samosa, and chicken edam. By God, it is very bad and its price is beyond imagination. I do not recommend it at all, even better than it, and the prices on the menu are completely different from the bill. I do not recommend it. It is expensive. It is not worth it. I paid £86 for someone.

Delicious food, amazing people and cosy ambience. 100% recommended!

Celebrated my sister’s birthday here and we had an amazing time. The food and service was great. Omar and Pina were lovely and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this restaurant :)

Delicious food, the staff was amazing and the ambiance as well 10/10

Habiendo estado dos veces anteriormente aquí disfruté mucho de un viaje de regreso y no puedo culpar a Shezan. Entorno sublime con un atento servicio discreto y una excelente cocina tradicional.

Spectacular food, service, and atmosphere. Will happily eat here again and bring friends.

Very authentic, kind and polite staff. Most polite staff we ever had. Food was extremely delicious. Ambiente was calm and relaxed. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.

The taste is very delicious and the service is beyond excellent

Excellent service by the entire staff especially Fernandez!

We ordered the Tandoori platter and the lamb biryani. Honestly, the tandoori platter didn’t have much of a smoked / grilled flavour to it as other tandoori platters do. The green chilli sauce was nice. As for the lamb biryani…I found it quite bland and I have tasted far better with much more flavour. Overall, I’d say disappointing and not great value for money. I had mentioned in the booking that we were coming to celebrate an occasion and nothing was prepared like a little cake as a nice gesture. When compared to other restaurants, this was disappointing in terms of service. Decor was beautiful. Friendly and helpful staff.

Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante qualche giorno fa. Eravamo in 4: io, mio marito e i nostri due figli di 11 e 15 anni. Abbiamo trovato una cucina indiana veramente di ottima qualità ed un'accoglienza estremamente cortese (la signora che ci ha servito vi ha consigliato le pietanze meno speziate per il nostro undicenne). Sinceramente è il miglior ristorante indiano in cui abbiamo cenato fin ora (ed un po'ne abbiamo provati :-) ). Menzione d'onore per il Mango Lassi: strepitoso!

It is expensive, and be aware of the service tax, it is expensive

If I could give 100 rating I would! Food - incredible, Service - incredible, Decor and Setting - incredible! I was looking for a restaurant to host 30 of my closest friends and family for my wedding lunch and from the first time speaking to Omar until the end of our event, Omar and his team were incredible! The service provided and friendliness of the staff was top tier, making sure we had everything we needed and never had to worry throughout the day. We had a mixture of meat and vegetarian eaters and Omar went above and beyond with ensuring everyone was catered for. The food itself is out of this world - the quality of meat used and the spices through each dish were outstanding. All of the guests thoroughly enjoyed the food, and I cannot recommend Shezan enough! They really did everything to make sure our guests had a fantastic experience!

Ristorante caratteristico con arredamento curato, pietanze di livello, personale attento e gentile. Atmosfera intima. Non adatto a bambini.

1. Excellent food 2. Lovely and warm waiting staff 3. Nice atmosphere 4. Lovely location

We could not have had a nicer experience. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant is highly decorated with Indian artifacts and art. It was intimately lit with table candles. We can’t tolerate highly spiced food, so asked for recommendations and the advice we received turned out to be perfect. One of us had the lamb shank (Nihaari) which consisted of two very meaty shanks in a very nice sauce. My partner had the butter chicken (Murgh makhani) in a lovely curry sauce. We shared a dish of cauliflower and potatoes. We enjoyed our food very much. Our wait staff were most cordial and helpful.

What a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting! Our hotel booked us here and the lovely hostess was warm and welcoming. Our server guided us to dishes that were flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend.

Perfect in every way. Delicious food, great decor and top service!

One of the top indian restaurants in London! The best they have is the Biryani

Authentic Pakistani and Indian Amazing food. Candlelit Indian and Pakistani restaurant with an ornate backdrop of Mughal paintings and artefacts. Difficult to get the parking.space near restaurant

Absolutely overpriced! 100€ for 2 tikka masala, a cheese nan, a lassi.. No, no, you're not dreaming, plus they add things to the bill that we didn't take! Waitress who was blowing because she had to close the restaurant! To flee

I had the pleasure of going to Shezan for the first time with a group of work friends and it turned out to be an amazing night to remember. The food was delicious and so fresh. Every dish I tried left me wanting more, but in my opinion, the lamb chops stole the show and was the talking point for all of us. The staff were great and we even got to meet the owner of Shezan and her family who were lovely. It's a real family business and great to see. I'm looking forward to going again.

Here is the return of my evening at first glance a beautiful decoration, a pleasant and smiling waitress but there is a but. Be careful, your meal will cost you very, very expensive, you'll tell me it's close to Harrods, but the restaurant just opposite offers prices halved. A bill of 100th for two tikka Massala (which looks more like butter chicken) a lassi and a cheese nan when we look at the bill we see a billing of 8th surely not order the entry to bring back and offered but in no case specify. You have been warned for seasoned wallets!!! there is really better reason why I do not recommend it is not worth the price in any case!!!!

This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. Tucked away off of the Main Street, the decor alone is something to visit for. When you add the amazing customer service and impeccable food you can’t lose. I would recommend this to anyone who loves food and a great atmosphere.

Delicious food, nihari lamb shank was like meat butter. Really nice restaurant with great service/staff.

I adored okra masala. One of the most interesting things I have ever eaten.

Absolutely amazing ! Food was delicious and amazing service quite place ❤️

loved eating here! the food was delicious and home cooked, and the atmosphere was great. i felt so at peace here. i loved the decor and our server was so kind! thank you so much :)

Love the decor and furniture. Food and service was great.

Savored some authentic Pakistani dishes, and the experience was delightful. The biryani, with its perfect blend of spices and tender meat, was a feast for the senses. The lamb shank, cooked to succulent perfection, fell off the bone, melting in the mouth. It's rare to find such genuine and high-quality Pakistani cuisine that truly honors its rich heritage.

Really beautiful decor and the food and drinks were delicious. Great service with waiters being very attentive.

Quiet restaurant, and great food. A good option for those days you want something yummy, but off the beating track.

Good and friendly - Indian cuisine

Really wonderful place to go for my birthday. Excellent, friendly service and delicious food.

A great indian restaurant in London

Excellent ambience and very friendly service. We were excited reading the reviews, but we found the food probably a bit below expectations, relatively bland and not inspiring. Praise to the staff for a very professional and friendly approach

Wonderful food and staff. We ate here twice while we were in London because it was that good!

Lovely environment, lovely food, and really great service.

came in on a quite day, absolutely gorgeous interior and atmosphere. the lady who served us was really sweet made us feel welcome and appreciated, food came within 20 minutes and was divine just wished I'd stayed away from the chilles , overall a beautiful experience

I've been going to Shenaz for over 30 years and not once I was disappointed. The quality of the food and the service has been excellent every time and I will certainly be going back for my wonderful Indian food indulgence.

Upscale, the best Indian restaurant that I have ever eat.

Excellent food, unique flavors and exceptional service, ask Mr Fernandes to make a complaint about the dishes.

Very nice atmosphere and good food. Located in a coat London street

Such a beautiful restaurant. Perfect for a romantic evening with excellent food. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Thank you for making our evening special.

Nestled in the bustling streets of London, Shezan stands out as a beacon of Indian culinary excellence. As a regular patron, I've had the pleasure of experiencing its offerings on numerous occasions, each visit reinforcing my belief that it is indeed the best Indian restaurant in the city. The atmosphere within Shezan is nothing short of enchanting. Upon entering, one is greeted by an ambiance that perfectly balances traditional Indian aesthetics with a touch of modern elegance. It's a space that invites relaxation and sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. What truly sets Shezan apart is the impeccable service. The staff are not only friendly but also exceedingly knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that never fail to delight. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth make every visit special. Now, onto the pièce de résistance - the food. Shezan's menu is a masterful blend of traditional Indian flavors and innovative culinary techniques. Each dish is a testament to the chef's expertise, crafted with the finest ingredients and presented with artistic flair. The flavors are rich, authentic, and beautifully balanced, ensuring that each bite is a sensory delight. I find myself drawn to Shezan often, not just for the exceptional dining experience but also for the joy of sharing it with friends. It has become my go-to recommendation for anyone seeking a taste of India in London. Everyone I've taken there has been utterly charmed, often becoming regulars themselves. Shezan is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Indian cuisine at its finest. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of Indian food or a curious first-timer, Shezan promises an experience that will leave you longing for more. A true jewel in London's culinary crown.

Great food, very friendly staff, lovely decor but a little pricey. Worth it for a special occasion. Thank you to all the great staff for welcoming us

The restaurant is quiet and the service is excellent. The amount of food compared to the price is good. The restaurant is not suitable for people of determination. There are stairs down.

Love this place. Good service and delicious food.

Good experience , the food was not that great. Yet the coziness of the place makes you relax

In search for chicken tikka masala we found this amazing restaurant with nice people, everything was perfect. A bit pricy but go there 🥰

One of the best Indian restaurants in England; also fabulous service!!!

More about the experience than the meal itself. We ordered a Nihari and Kadahi gosht, speaking as an Indian myself the food is not authentic and rather flavourless, especially not worth the prices. The one takeaway is the atmosphere and setting is probably one of the best in London, but not a place I would return to.

Nicest Indian/Pakistani restaurant I have come across

The decor of this place is extremely beautiful. As we walked in, we were greeted in a warm manner. We felt such a calm and welcoming presence. There were candles lit everywhere. We recieved appetizers in front of us very quickly. Our order was taken promptly. The food was mouth watering. The service at this place was of a high standard and all staff members were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. There are many options and so much to choose from! We really enjoyed our experience.

Tasty food, kind staff, very calm and romantic atmosphere.. 5 stars!

Très joli restaurant, ambiance tamisée. Terriblement déçue par le manque de saveurs des plats qui étaient plutôt fades et ce dîner ne reflétait pas la cuisine indienne traditionnelle qui est si relevée habituellement . Accueil standard, service trop long.

مطعم رائع حلال اكل مميز و خدمة جميله

Great owner of the restaurant. She's a very open minded individual. A very close person to me loves this place

En arrivant au restaurant nous avons été charmés par l atmosphère très feutrée et joli décor. Quelle deception de goûter un mixed grill tikka plutôt sec. Et encore pire aucun de nos main courses n était savoureux. Nous connaîssons bien la cuisine indienne et le goût n avait rien d indien. De nouveau poulet sec comme réchauffé avec la sauce ou halal nous pensons. Le butter chicken n avait qu un goût de sauce tomate ! Pas de coriandre fraîche ni de goût subtil des épices.Meme les naans sont devenus secs très vite et le riz au safran également. Nous avons tous laissé la moitié de nos plats. Bref pour 317 euros a 4 cela ne vaut pas du tout le détour. Le rapport qualité prix est nul. Nous avons informé le personnel de notre grande déception.

This restaurant is a real find. A bit difficult to locate but well worth the effort. Really nice relaxed setting and interesting decor. Our party was made to feel welcome on arrival and throughout the evening. Really good food. Interesting flavours. Decent portion sizes especially the rice dishes. Excellent service. I wish it was closer to where I live. Reasonably priced.

مطعم هندط مميز مره وديكورات جميله قريب من هارودز وخذمتهم سريعه وطيبه استغرب من بعض التعليقات عليهم

We had a wonderful experience at Shezan. The service was very attentive and friendly. We loved everything we ordered. The portions are not huge, but there is plenty and we left quite full. I highly recommend Shezan if you are looking for Indian food in London.

طعم الاكل لا بأس ولكن الأسعار جهنم ولا انصح احد بذهاب له نهائيا

Shezan is a hidden gem. The staff are lovely and the food is amazing

Excellent food and really fantastic staff- everyone was very helpful and polite. Overall ambiance and night was great!

I took a group of 28 Queen fans visiting from Japan here as part of a tour in the UK. The team provided great hospitality with high quality fresh and beautifully presented food for the group. I can warmly recommend Shezan as as an authentic family run restaurant.

Classical environment and Food is very much delicious 👌

Despite the cosiness and great service, the food was absolutely tasteless!! The chiken madras is supposed to be a speciality in any Indian restaurant..This chicken and sauce was very dull. Extremely disappointing when the restaurant looks really nice inside!!!

Great food, great location and lovely decor! I thought it was one of the best curries I've had, and I have travelled around India twice.

Very good place with excellent food in a cosy ambiance

Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend the aloo gobi and garlic naan.

What a beautiful restaurant, staff were amazing, food was delicious.

Good atmosphere Nice food Nice service

Lovely food, such good food ! The waiters were so kind and gentle spoken ❤️

My stay at Shezan was fabulous from start to finish. After being warmly welcomed by the staff, we had beer and appetizers in front of us in less than 2 minutes. Our order was taken promptly, with the owner himself offering his warmest recommendations. The food was outstanding, and the beer was top-notch. For dessert, we enjoyed homemade ice cream. 8.9/10.

Amazing service, Peter particularly was a complete gent recommended for employee of the year.

Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the food my favourite forages were the kyhber Karahi and paneer makhni. Really enjoyed the meals served with fresh hot garlic naan. Mix grill was delicious and flavourful. The staff provided great service and shot out to Pina who gave great recommendations and always stopped by to make sure we were happy as well as her colleague. Would recommend this place. P.S thanks pina for taking the photos :)

Great dinner tonight. We tried the Paneer, Aloo Gobi, & Garlic Naan, all were excellent. Restaurant is well decorated and creates an interesting atmosphere.

The food is amazing and really tasty the service is very professional and quick

Dined here tonight and was blown away by the amazing hospitality and tasty and very well presented food. We had a few vegetarian mains with naans and pulao rice, followed by tasty rasmalai and everything was fabulous! The ambience was great as well.

lovely warm astmosphere and service, with delicious food full of our favorite dishes

Amazing food flavours really authentic and great service. Thank you for a great experience
