Shahanshah Tandoori

Shahanshah Tandoori has been a fixture in Broxbourne for years, quietly earning a reputation for Indian and Bangladeshi cooking that doesn't rely on gimmicks. It's the kind of place where the tandoor does the talking, and the neighbourhood has taken notice. The menu leans into the subcontinent's rich traditions, offering everything from familiar curries to lesser-known regional specialities, all prepared with a respect for technique that separates the good from the great.

Start with the mixed kebab platter if you want to see what the tandoor can do—seekh kebabs are properly charred, the chicken tikka is ludicrously tender. Their biryanis arrive fragrant with saffron and layered with meat that's been marinated overnight. Butter chicken here is a velvety, tomato-forward affair, not too sweet, with a gentle heat that builds. Order online through Foodhub and you're in for a proper curry house experience, the kind that makes midweek takeaway feel like something to look forward to.
