Book NowAbout Shah Jahan Indian Restaurant
Tucked away on Griffith Street, Shah Jahan serves unpretentious, comforting North Indian cooking paired with easygoing neighborhood hospitality. The kitchen prepares rich curries, fragrant saffron rice, and blistered naan baked fresh to order in the tandoor. Regulars often start with crisp vegetable samosas before digging into house specialties like tender chicken tikka masala, spicy vindaloo, or the signature Shah Jahan lamb. It functions as a relaxed BYO spot where staff welcome guests with casual warmth, accommodate dietary needs, and keep the kitchen running for tired travelers arriving well after standard dinner hours. Glasses are poured alongside flaky garlic and cheese naans straight from the oven.
- Casual BYO Dining: Guests can bring their own wine to accompany rich curries for a modest $6.00 corkage fee per bottle.
- Late-Traveler Welcome: Staff readily keep the kitchen open and accommodate late-night arrivals arriving off flights or long road trips.
- Comforting North Indian Classics: The kitchen freshly prepares North Indian staples like slow-simmered lamb, chicken tikka masala, and stuffed naans.
