said: A find! Shayona is a vegetarian Indian restaurant by the car park
opposite the amazing Neasden Temple. The restaurant is a large, simple, modern
space. The menu huge! Price great value. Food authentic. If you fancy the lunch
buffet instead of a la carte it’s only £8 for all you can eat. We opted for the
a la carte, picking a mix of delicious starters and spicy but compulsive
vegetable curries. There was a moment of comedy when the sizzling, spicy
vegetable tandoori came out in an all-consuming smoke which left everyone
coughing and choking (but tasted amazing). We couldn’t try everything we wanted
as there was so much choice. There’s an on-site Indian sweet shop and
supermarket. This place is amazing. The real thing. Suffice to say Shayona is a
place we’ll return to many times. Jai ho!

said: Shayona reminds you that Indian food is great without any of the fiddly nouvelle trickery on display at all the
shmancy Indian restaurants that you find exclusively in those postcodes where
high rents mean having to scam your punters into dropping a packet for food
they don’t really like or understand. Those places are just like opera or $1000
dollar bottles of wine: everyone’s too chicken to say what they mean. But not
at Shayona, which is attached to the biggest Hindu temple in the UK, so the
karma and all the shakras are just so. You get your Wow! moment looking around
the temple; then you sit down for lunch in a spotless room; receive genuinely
courteous and friendly service; gobble tasty, cruelty-free food cooked really
well; pay very little for it, and walk out the door already thinking about what
else you’ll have on your next visit. Now that’s a no-brainer!
