"First visit to Shikara recommended by an Indian friend. Not too busy at 8 PM on a weekday but delivery guys kept coming for takeaways. First impression, ambience was calming with dim lighting and a candle on each table. Background music was instrumental OSTs to popular old Bollywood movies. Warmth was welcomed when it was -2 degrees outside. Ordered Lamb Pasanda and Paneer Kofta with chapatis. Lamb meat was juicy and soft. The curry was filling with fresh taste of yogurt. Portion didn't look generous at the first glance but actually packed quite a lot of dices. Paneer Kofta came with good curry. The doughballs and cottage cheese fillings felt a tad dry. Chapatis were light and at the right size."

"Great food !! Friendly and courteous service !! I was very glad to find this gem of a restaurant when I was looking for somewhere to eat near London Bridge. I ordered a chicken battered and fried street food style Chicken 65 is what they call it on the menu with a chilli cheese naan. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside and tender and full of flavour on the inside. It came with a sauce which had a nice fruity tang to it which complemented the spiciness of the chicken. And the naan was a perfect accompaniment, warm and subtly flavoured with cheese and chilli. This meal hit the spot !! My friend had a butter chicken and peshwari nan which she really enjoyed. The service was great as well. Thanks Est. India team. I will see you again when I next pass by London Bridge :"
