Very nice place inside an old building in the historic center of oxford. very simple and minimalist in furnishing but very welcoming. Very kind and nice staff. Delicious food, an explosion of flavors, spices and colors. Definitely going back!
You MUST go ! I really think this was the best Indian food we have ever had.
This place is so good. I have the lamb Biryani. It’s the best I’ve ever had. Price perhaps on the higher side but the food is very much worth it. Whenever I go there are already quite a few people in there which speaks for itself.
Our group of 4 enjoyed a wonderful evening dining here on a recent Saturday. This restaurant is quite popular so I recommend booking a reservation.
The food was EXCELLENT. Our group had a variety of lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes, along with samosas & pakora. All dishes were delicious. I was uncertain so asked the server for a non-spicy recommendation…the shahazani korma was outstanding. I only wish I had left room for desert.
It was the first time coming to this restaurant and to be honest, it was the best Indian restaurant that I have been at. The food was so delicious. All the most delicious flavors was involved in this food.
I will definitely come again and recommend this restaurant
Finding the restaurant on the first floor was a pleasure being greeted by a smiling server.
The service was quick and efficient and carried with a smile.
I had the paneer tikka . It was wonderful, fresh ingredients cooked with the spices that brought out the best of the ingredients.
My wife's vegetable biryani was wonderfully spicy.
We will return next time we are in Oxford
Visiting from the U.S. and the food here was exquisite. The sauce is to die for and the chicken is so fresh. The naan was amazing both the butter and garlic and the service was so kind, quick and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend and the cost was very in budget and affordable. Don’t miss out on this gem.
Lamb biriyani was good.
The butter chicken was tooo different doesn't taste like butter chicken, flavored coconut milk & tumeric too high.
A really enjoyable evening spent at this establishment. The menu did not have all the usual standard dishes that one sees at an Indian restaurant which was a pleasant surprise.
We did wait for a while, but the wait was definitely worth the it. I had a lamb dish with lentils and ginger. This was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, and the heat in the sauce had just enough to make its presence known. The people who served us were very gracious, and it was appreciated that the music was played quietly in the background.
Time flew. We all had such a good time. A great time out, and a brilliant start to the weekend.
Found Shezan prior to a visit to the Sheldonian. A wonderful way to start the evening - the food was outstanding & a very different menu. Very helpful & friendly staff who were great in advising on the choice of food. The most flavoursome & tasty Rogan I have ever eaten. Thank you.
