Shezan the Indian restaurant, who opened its Knightsbridge doors 40 years ago. Shezan remains the only Indian restaurant in the UK to receive a star rating from Egon Ronay, The Gold Plate Award, and win Restaurant of the Year. Impressive, wouldn't you say?
The chef certainly knows his stuff as he trained with the best chef from the region.
It's physically arresting too. Diners descend into an ornate cocktail bar filled with an atmospheric array of native objects and trinkets. If you like live music with your meal, go on a Friday or Saturday. But whatever the day or night, you can bet your bottom rupee you'll find yourself in an unhurried atmosphere. Please note that the food at Shezan is freshly prepared to order. Ocassionally this can mean waiting times are longer.
