NoorJahan 2 is a traditional North Indian restaurant on Sussex Place, close to Paddington and Lancaster Gate. The intimate dining room offers a familiar London curry house experience, with freshly ground spices shaping a broad menu for lunch and dinner. Its cooking moves from crisp snacks and clay oven favourites to comforting curries, rice dishes and breads that work well for both quick meals and relaxed evenings.
Starters cover vegetable samosa, onion bhajee, alu papri chaat and saag tiki alongside seekh kebab, chicken tikka and lamb chops from the tandoor. King prawn puri adds shellfish and a rich sauce served with fried bread, while shashlik brings grilled meat and vegetables together. These choices make it easy to begin with a mixed selection of crisp, spiced and smoky plates for the table.
The NoorJahan special can be ordered with chicken, lamb, king prawn or duck, giving the house style several different expressions. Familiar favourites include tikka masala, butter chicken, lamb pasanda, karahi and jalfrezi, with achari, bhuna, dhansak, saag and garlic preparations providing distinct balances of heat, sweetness and spice. Biryani offers a fragrant rice based alternative with curry served alongside.
Seafood choices include prawn bhuna, king prawn dishes, fish bhuna and a coconut rich Goan fish curry. Paneer makhani, matar paneer, mushroom karahi and mixed vegetable preparations give vegetarian diners plenty of variety, supported by lentils, spinach, okra and potatoes among the side dishes. Pilau rice, naan and other breads complete a menu designed for combining several flavours in one meal.
