Noor Jahan is an Indian restaurant at 2A Bina Gardens in London’s SW5 district. Established in 1963, it offers evening dining in a warm, traditional setting and has become a long standing part of the South Kensington neighbourhood.
Appetisers range from samosa, onion bhaji and aloo papri chaat to seekh kebab, lamb chops and prawn puri. The clay oven adds tandoori chicken, chicken and lamb tikka, king prawns and a mixed grill, using yoghurt, herbs and spices to flavour the meats before grilling.
The curry list moves between creamy chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and lamb pasanda and sharper achari, jalfrezi and rogan josh preparations. Goan fish curry, garlic king prawns, saag dishes and karahi recipes bring seafood, spinach, fresh ginger and roasted garlic into the wider selection.
Rice, biryani, naan and vegetable sides complete the meal, while collection is available for those eating at home. The menu identifies several common allergens, but guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss ingredients and shared preparation with the restaurant before ordering.
