Shayona Restaurant

It was an amazing function (baby shower and gender revealing) and The food quality and standards were amazing The team of shayona was very helpful and well managed especially the area in charge Divyeesh and the manager Saishav.

A great place to go for pure, saatvik food, after a visit to the divine Swaminarayan Temple in Neasden, London. We were initially told there may be a 25-30 minute wait, because we were four adults and a child. But the manager very kindly found a place within a few minutes after checking with us if we would be happy to keep our kid on our lap. But I did notice a few high chairs meant for kids, and placing one at our table would have perhaps not been in the way. Maybe they should consider this point. The servive, in keeping the general attitude of everyone in and around the temple premises, was polite and helpful The service was fast, and the food was simply wonderful. A great place to visit if you are a vegetarian.

The ambience is great but compared to the fact that there is a plaque outside the restaurant claiming it is a Michelin star restaurant the food is not as tasty as I expected it to be. It was good but not extraordinary with all due respect. It is clean, staff if well behaved, kid friendly, and overall nice.

The restaurant stays busy due to the temple visitors next door. We hadn't booked in advance but managed to get a table after a short wait. The atmosphere is nice, service is good however it's let down by the food - the taste is a bland. Have visited here few years ago when it was really tasty but not a good experience this time.

The service was brilliant. We didn't feel rushed to make our order which gave us time for good conversation before eating. When we did decide to order, the food arrived promptly and was very tasty. I really recommend the coconut ice cream served in the coconut shell! The staff gave my fiance the very nice pot her ice cream was served in. He saw she liked them so much that he gave her another 2 while exiting. A great experienced and a well earned solid 5 star review from me

Wow, amazing restaurant, very well-deserved, hospitality Food Delicious good staff. Excellent manager with good quality staff make our day wonderful at my daughters birthday party.

Shayona Restaurant in London isn't just a meal; it's an experience for the senses. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a vibrant world of Indian culture and culinary delights. Here's why Shayona deserves a perfect 5-star rating: A Feast for the Eyes and the Soul: The restaurant's interior is a feast for the eyes. Gone are the typical curry house clichés. Shayona boasts a contemporary Indian vibe, blending bright colors with traditional artwork and artifacts. The chandeliers and graceful foliage create an inviting ambiance that feels both stylish and sophisticated. It's a far cry from the average Indian restaurant, offering a truly unique and memorable setting.

This means no onion or garlic, but fear not! The chefs weave magic with spices and fresh ingredients, ensuring the flavors are anything but bland. In fact, you might be surprised you don't even miss the typical "base notes" of onion and garlic. A Culinary Adventure Across India: The menu at Shayona is a celebration of Indian diversity. It's not just your typical North Indian fare. Here, you'll embark on a culinary journey across the subcontinent. From Gujarati Thali buffets overflowing with vibrant dishes to Mumbai street food favorites like Aloo Papdi Chaat and Bhel Puri, your taste buds will be treated to a delightful exploration. Don't forget to explore the South Indian section, where you'll find delectable Dosas and Utapams. A Plethora of Options for Every Palette: While Shayona caters to vegetarians, even meat-eaters won't be disappointed. The rich flavors and textures of the vegetarian dishes are more than enough to satisfy. Additionally, the restaurant offers vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring everyone can enjoy the Shayona experience.

Nothing to write home about. Pricey and limited fayre. 2024 update. Nice evening family meal in a blessed environment. Great dosa and psssionfruit juice. Everything else was average and the masala Tea was too creamy for my liking. Will return to try other menu items.
