Shavan's Indian - Kurunjang

A hidden gem. When you think of Indian food in a shopping strip environment, no doubt you probably think of cheap and nasty bain-maries filled with trays of congealed sauce and tiny bits of overcooked chicken. This is not that. At all. The food here is elegant and delicious, at more than reasonable prices for the quality, and the affable staff do an incredible job building ambience even when the restaurant is quiet. Will definitely return as often as possible when I'm in the area.

The food here is delicious! The Sri Lankan and Indian food is authentic, their use of spices is not toned down like at most other restaurants. I especially recommend their black pork curry and fried calamari. The restaurant has nice ambience and I definitely recommend this place for good Sri Lankan/Indian food. While Shavans is more expensive than your typical Indian joint, it's food is definitely more flavorful.

Today we had the ‘banquet’ for two. The customer service was excellent, our 5 year old really only eats the plain rice and they didn’t even query the fact we hadn’t ordered for her. It was quite unique to have the tandoori chicken and cutlets and samosas. The samosas were a fantastic portion and guessing they are made on site. The mains were the perfect quantity and offering more rice and naan was a lovely touch that will definitely bring us back. Having some traditional desserts and tea was a great way to finish the banquet and perhaps exposed us to dishes we may order next time that would not have thought to order.The ambience is great, loved the music but a bit cold. If you make sure you bring a jacket you will have a great meal. Definitely be back.

Went for their Sri Lankan Buffet lunch with my partner and totally enjoyed it. The ambience was lovely and the staff/service was friendly and excellent.  There was a good range of dishes to try.  The hoppers (we tried the plain, egg and sweet versions were all fresh, crisp and flavourful.  My egg hopper in particular was cooked to absolute perfection!  I have never liked kottu roti but Shavan's version has changed my mind great taste and texture!  The lotus root curry was new for me and I went back for seconds.  The sambols were great too.  I was very impressed overall and think the price is very reasonable for the quality of food and service.  Will definitely try the South Indian buffet another time.  Would recommend this restaurant to friends :

Great food and venue looks amazing. Great collection of Sri Lankan liquors and cannot go wrong with a glass of Sri Lankan beer.Lovely staff too :
