The Shard Restaurant Tooley St

Hi all

Went to The Shard Indian restaurant last night and was very pleasantly surprised.

The food was delicious. Onion Bhaji was tasty and not greasy at all. Followed by Lamb Pasanda which was the best I have tasted for many, many years.

One friend had a vegetarian dish (sorry can't remember the name) which was described with nods and ummms.

My other friend had a chicken tikka which was described as superb.

The service was friendly from all the staff and the owner/ manager was very charming.

A very, very welcome addition to the neighbourhood.

Our takeaway experience last Friday was completely different. It rated amongst the worst curries I have ever had. The best thing about it was the fact that it arrived within the promised 30 mins delivery time. Pilau rice was bland, vege curry mushy & greasy, chicken tikka so overcooked we didn't eat it and some of the Bombay spuds weren't cooked fully.

Maybe it was teething problems but we won't be going back!

'The Shard' surely there will be copyright issues there! lets wait & see!

Don't eat Indian out, can't comment on the food!

Probably teething problems. We had a takeaway as well, and although it wasn't the best I ever had, it was definitely very tasty...

I've had 2 deliveries from them and both have been fantastic. Food lovely, quick delivery and a couple of freebies with a large order too.

(Only one complaint - mango chutney was rather dire....but I can live with that when the "main" meals were so tasty and compeditively priced.)

So far so good for me too, ordered one last week and very tasty. So much so, this thread has just persuaded me to order another, for scientific purposes only of course...!

they won't be allowed to keep that name for long

They should play the word association game or indeed, The Drahs Indian restaurant sounds suitably asian.

Management are very friendly, they already own a very sucessful restaurant in east london. We've been there a few times now and I've always found the food and service to be very good. This and Simply Indian are my favourite Indian restaurants in SE1.

Why cant they keep the name shard restaurant?
