Perfect for all those romantics
As a takeaway regular, I was already familiar with Noor JahanÂ’s classical Indian cuisine and considered it my favourite. But this was my first experience of eating in the recently refurbished restaurant, writes Amy Livings.
The restaurant gave me the impression of being in a central London eatery, the deco is retro, but there is a contemporary breeziness coupled with a romantic atmosphere and it seems only natural to take my boyfriend, a fellow fan of the takeaway menu.
We started our meal with light and crispy popadoms and the usual chutneys and sauces. We also shared a mixed kebab which included three different types as well as a vegetable samosa. They were delicious – as expected.
My boyfriend opted for a traditional lamb korma. With its mild and creamy sauce, this dish is a tried and tested darling of the quintessential Indian menu.
I went Noor Jahan's secret recipe dish; a house speciality consisting of a whole baby chicken served in an undisclosed sauce which I can only describe as amazing. We both had pilau rice with our mains, but there is a fantastic assortment of alternatives including mushroom rice, special fried rice and good old original plain rice. There are also salads and chips available too.
If you are dining as a couple, I strongly recommend sharing the ‘vegetable tray’. For £5.75 you get a choice of any three vegetable dishes. We chose mushroom bhaji, jeera aloo (cumin potatoes) and chana masala. One for those who like it hot, the spicy chickpea curry has a gorgeous velvety texture and a sour citrus note.
I am delighted to report that the eat-in experience of my favourite Indian cuisine not only matched but surpassed my expectations.
I adore Noor Jahan and would not think twice about returning to enjoy another fantastic meal in its lovely restaurant. It is well worth a visit, and with the whole meal for two coming to just £16.20, this is one place where you can afford to be a regular romantic!
