I don’t usually write reviews but I was so satisfied with my visit to Shahrazad that I really want to recommend them.As a long term fan of Middle Eastern cuisine I saw this restaurant and decided to give it a try, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I odered a smoked eggplant cold mezzo, lamb kofta and veal tagine. Each dish was amazing (though my favourite was the vermicelli rice with saffron that came with the tagine).Price was decent and location very accessible and spacious. …Read More

I’ve visited this restaurant twice. The first time I had a very delicious fish burger, but the second time, my veggie burger was appalling. The bread was nicely toasted, but the patty and other fillings were way too salty. Every bite seemed to be filled with salt granules. The fries were also too heavily salted. I’m wondering if the chef’s had just slipped on my order because my friend who had a spicy chicken burger said theirs was really good. Anyway, I would like to give this place another try, but I’m afraid of what standard I’ll be getting. …Read More

Soup was a tad bit too salty, but the mango lassi was good. Overall, with the spacious interior design, I enjoyed the meal.…Read More

This is my go-to vegetarian restaurant when I’m looking for something quick and affordable. I particularly enjoy the sticky rice. Would definitely recommend. I also appreciate how they give away free lunchboxes to the elderly every week. Main Downside is a prevalence of flies sometimes. …Read More

Ordered two prawn Caesar salads and a chicken rice. Salad comprises of a few bits of prawn, lettuce and lots of very dodgy mayo. Chicken rice tasted worse than school canteen food. Ordered a chocolate milk which tasted like water with a sight chocolate powder taste. Very disappointing meal, and of a much lower standard than the Central branch. Do NOT go there. …Read More
