I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shere Khan in Feltham, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant's modern design instantly transported me to Dubai, with its sleek and sophisticated decor that created a wonderfully inviting atmosphere.
The service at Shere Khan was impeccable. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, always checking on us at the right moments without being intrusive. He was particularly observant and noticed that our table was slightly wobbly. Without us even having to mention it, he went out of his way to change our table, ensuring we were comfortable throughout our meal. His dedication and proactive approach truly made a difference in our dining experience.
Now, onto the food, which was nothing short of delightful. I started with the lamb chops and cheese and onion naan bread. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious, perfectly spiced with just the right balance—neither too spicy nor bland. However, the highlight for me was the cheese and onion naan bread. I can confidently say it’s the best naan bread I’ve ever tasted, surpassing even the cheesy naan bread I had at a renowned restaurant called Black Cumin in Bristol. The naan was incredibly soft, and the cheese melted beautifully, bursting with flavors that made me fall in love with it instantly.
For the mains, I opted for the Murgh Tikka Masala. The sauce was rich and creamy, exactly how I like it. However, I did find the chicken to be a bit rubbery, which made it seem less authentic to me. It's worth noting that this is purely my personal preference, and I believe the chicken was fresh—it was likely just the cooking method. The white rice that accompanied the dish was perfectly cooked, providing a nice complement to the flavorful curry.
To drink, I ordered a guava juice, which was refreshingly sweet and highly recommended. It was the perfect beverage to complement the rich flavors of the meal.
Overall, my experience at Shere Khan was fantastic. The cheese and onion naan bread stands out as the best naan bread I’ve ever had, and the lamb chops were a close second as the best starters I’ve enjoyed in a restaurant. While the chicken in the Murgh Tikka Masala fell a bit short for me, the overall quality of the food and the brilliant service more than made up for it. On my next visit, I plan to try one of their red meat or fish dishes to avoid any potential letdown.
I want to emphasize that my comments on the chicken are based on my assumption—it was most likely fresh, and the issue was probably just in the preparation.
In conclusion, Shere Khan in Feltham is a must-visit for anyone seeking a high-quality dining experience with exceptional service and standout dishes. Also, this establishment is halal for you sisters and brother out there. Highly...
Read moreNice to see Shere Khan in London, oddly reminds you of Birminghams star city! right, the review.. I must say I’m not a huge fan of green walls which seems to be the thing since pandemic but it suits the Shere Khan wall. The decor is lovely, modern and comfortable. We visited at 16.15 so didn’t want it to get busy. The menu has a wide range of dishes however just an observation, the menus look like a kid designed it. What I noticed from the menu was that you have to pay extra for condiments, however I was corrected as they’re on the house. So why are they on the menu?
Right, first we ordered starters.. lamb chops, Chilli paneer and jinga tikka. Lamb chops were nice I mean, marination was lovely and the hint of the tandoor was just lovely lol. Chilli paneer was also nice with a coat of indo-asian sauce. Jinga tikka was not nice whatsoever, the prawns were cooked to a bare minimum and the flavouring’s weren’t enough. Plus its expensive! Would not recommend them.
Mains were nice. Much better than starters however the biryani is NOT a biryani. Pakistani biryani is something that takes hour to make as flavours are sealed into the rice. The biryani we got was enough to tick boxes however it wasn’t very enjoyable for me. My mrs liked it, so you be your own critic. Bhuna was the stand out dish, extremely flavourful with the meat just pulling apart. Highly recommended with the pilau rice and their naans(which were just perfect).
The waiters were very helpful throughout the service, they were patient and respectful. When asked about the prayer room, were very guiding. Honestly, just a great team.
For me as a whole, I loved the decor and location as parking is provided for free.. however I didn’t enjoy it as well as I would’ve liked to, menu packs a punch but the flavours don’t. For me personally I wouldn’t come back as for me a good Pakistani restaurant is restricted on the menu with fewer dishes but each of them are given attention for best in taste. Shere Khan isn’t that, but please be your own critic, give them a try and see if it floats your gravy boat! like I said, the bhunna was...
Read moreIf you’re not South Asian, don’t bother—this place clearly doesn’t want you there. Update: and if you don’t want food poisoning either, don’t go, 2/7 of the people who ate here have food poisoning currently.
We came for an Eid dinner, expecting a nice meal, but instead, we got rushed, ignored, and borderline thrown out. The disrespect started early: they had the nerve to ask if they could take one of our tables away after seating us. We agreed, assuming they needed the space, but guess what? That table sat empty the entire time we were there.
From the moment we sat down, they were in a hurry to get rid of us. Starters and mains dumped on the table at the same time—without us asking. Then, mid-conversation and mid-bite, the waitress started clearing plates without asking. I looked away for a second, and suddenly, two of our curries had vanished. Who does that?! And THEN, the absolute worst part—she had the audacity to ask my family member if she could take her plate (while she was still eating). That’s when it clicked: this wasn’t bad service; this was a deliberate effort to kick us out for another group.
The whole experience lasted 50 minutes from order to payment. Fifty. Whole. Minutes. For an Eid dinner. The staff at the door were openly hostile, glaring at us while we explained what happened to Farid. Oh, and before you think this was just "quick service," let me make one thing clear—they never even offered us dessert. They just threw the bill on the table like we were overstaying our welcome.
What really confirmed the discrimination? A South Asian family at the back of the restaurant, three long tables, finished with their food and dessert, just casually chatting—completely unbothered. Meanwhile, my table got a 50-minute countdown before being pushed out the door.
And for what? Mid food. Spicy but flavorless—an insult to Pakistani cuisine. The drinks were disgusting. Only thing worth eating was the lamb karahi. Save your money and go somewhere that actually wants you there, because I didn’t feel welcome. I felt like an...
