Noor Jahan

Fantastic swift friendly service in this family run eatery. Our fiends have been dining at Noor Jahan for a very long time and the food is exceptional. We arrived without booking in a group of 9 (we did call ahead) after being told the wait at Dishoom would be over an hour! Great ambience in this intimate restaurant and we will definitely be returning on our next trip to London. You should too!

My wife and I came to this restaurant on our honeymoon 12 years ago. Ever since it's stuck in my mind as the benchmark of a great neighborhood Indian restaurant. I was glad to see it still there when we returned with our children this year. We were warmly greeted by the staff and they helped us navigate the menu and place an order which both the adults and young children would love. The food is out of this world amazing. Nothing too fancy or over the top. Just classics done right. If I could bottle the aroma of their sizzling tandoori plates, I would. We have eaten some fairly forgettable Indian food in London, at both tourist traps and over-hyped trendsetters, this is neither. It's worth a trip (we came over from Mayfair). Incredible food, warm service, classy but unpretentious ambiance.
