The home of fine Indian and Pakistani cuisine in the heart of London's prestigious area of Knightsbridge - just a 2 minutes walk from HARRODS. It is one of the UK's oldest Indian and Pakistani restaurant providing a peaceful and refreshing ambiance for lunch and dinner and "any thing" in between. Shezan has been serving the finest Indian and Pakistani cuisine for over forty years and continues to offer an exciting selection of Indian and Pakistani favourites from the Menu and a’ la carte and its attentive and friendly service complements the comfortable candle-lit surroundings.
The traditional arches and Mughal paintings of this newly renovated dimly-lit eatery add a further touch of warmth to the contemporary furnishings and create a combination of refreshing and comfortable surroundings and reminds of cultural ties with Indo-Pakistan. The background music of traditional Indian classics adds a refined yet energizing romantic touch to the food we serve to our valued customers.

    What a fantastic find in Kensington! 200m from Harrods. We had a two night stay in London and ate there both nights. Fernandez was a brilliant host and nothing could be too much (we were the chopped tomatoes onion and chilli people). The food was delicious, the lamb shank (Nihani) was fall off the bone perfection on a plate. We will be back when we return to London in January - thank you all!

    Food was good, not complaining about Value. Thats what you expect on Knightsbridge. £5 for a Nan. But the customer services was awful. Staff especially the old Indian Man has no Manners, how to greet customers and how to take orders for food. Lighting too dim, hard to read the Menu and see anything at the other end of the restaurant. Personally I wouldn’t go back there again and wouldn’t recommend at all regardless of how old the restaurant is.

    We went here for my mum’s 50th surprise dinner and honestly it was such an amazing experience! The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and made the whole evening feel so special. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was delicious and everyone had such a great time. It couldn’t have been a more perfect place to celebrate such an important milestone. Highly recommend!

    The kebab was burnt to a crisp and inedible. Despite complaining to several staff members, I received no sincere response and was completely ignored.

    Cozy but cold basement restaurant. Food was disappointing and cold. We had chosen this place to taste good Indian food and it didn’t taste of anything and the seafood like prawns were completely dry. Out local takeaway restaurant in Copenhagen has better butter chicken 😏

    This was my first time in London and decided to make a reservation here for my birthday which was on the 31st so I was worried about the business of the restaurant because I understand how stressful places like this is on big occasions however even throughout the business, the waiters were absolutely lovely the whole time, wished me a happy birthday and kept the comvos nice and sweet. The service was very quick, ran smoothly, 0 issues whatsoever. The food was ridiculously good, freshly made, extra things were included for free which was a bonus. The ambiance of this place was stunning, from the decor to the low lighting to the comfort, I was in awe at how beautiful it was. My only complaint is to myself, that I should have ordered more. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant and I suggest everyone else does too.
