We have tried multiple other Indians nearby and not one has ever been close to Shaon. The food is the best, and the staff are so lovely and will always insist on walking your takeaway to your car for you. Abdul in particular is very talkative and friendly towards my family, and many of my friend’s family. We would recommend shaon to everyone, and our only wish is that shaon was on Deliveroo/just eat!!

I didn 't enjoy the bland food but I understand that the flavours were altered for Western palates. Why I am writing this review is because we had really gone all that way for a Bengali restaurant and there was nothing Bengali about the food. Not the South Indian papad (Bengalis have a whole range of fried foods), not the dry powered spices packed rice passed off as Biryani (not even Hyderabadi biryani), surely not the saag paneer (cottage cheese in spinach) which is a traditional north Indian dish but has a lot more character than just cottage cheese pieces tossed about in spinach lumps or stuffed parantha (another North Indian not the mix vegetable stuffed parantha though). Even though all the food we had, along with the options on menu, are 'Indian ', none of it was made very well. I understand that the restaurant is at the heart of the local community here and I hope the management chooses a more sensitive and authentic naming convention, along with a much needed overhaul of the kitchen.
