The Shanakee Colindale - (Near Brent, london)

Shara Tahrima Hossain Saw this restaurant in passing and decided to check it out. We ordered the pulao with lamb shank. Starter came as chicken corn soup, and with the pulao they offered us afghan lamb koftas, bread, and salad. Everything was absolutely delicious, the man who served us was so friendly and the restaurant felt very warm and cozy. Will definitely come again!

Layth Qazzaz If you love a good burger, this place is definitely worth visiting. We tried the Classic, Smoky BBQ, and Chilli Cheese burgers — all were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. The Classic Burger was simple but done perfectly — soft bun, tender patty, and fresh toppings. The Smoky BBQ Burger had a rich, tangy flavor with just the right amount of smokiness, while the Chilli Cheese Burger packed a tasty little kick that spice lovers will enjoy. To top it off, the Iraqi tea was excellent — strong, aromatic, and perfectly sweetened. It was the ideal way to finish off the meal. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended! Suggestion to add photo to the sit down area on google

Le nhu Hoang My family came to have dinner, and we were so surprised by the food. It is really amazing. Today is my sons birthday. Thank you for food

Faisal Abbas Great experience at Aladin in Hendon. The lamb nihari is signature dish — rich, slow-cooked, and full of authentic flavour. The chicken shinwari wasn’t great, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend the til naan, which was outstanding, and the kheer to finish — simple and very well done. Friendly, welcoming staff and genuinely authentic food.

Aqsa The food was so good me and my family loved it. Definitely will try again , the mixed grill with rice was so yummy. We came all the way from Luton. The staff were nice too. They gave us soup to begin with and the kofta curry without us asking lovely everything!!!

Ahmed Deedat I came on the 13th February 2026. During lunch time around 13:00PM I was by myself and just wanted to eat something homeish vibe food. I was greeted at the door by Harry, he was cleaning at the time and I felt like I was interrupting him, but he had a big smile on his face and reassured me, I wasn’t. (I still felt bad) He sat me down on a table for 1 and passed me the menu. He came by 2 minutes later asking if I’m ready and I said yes. I ordered the chicken biryani box. (£5) Harry was very nice and polite throughout the whole interaction and kept an eye on me. The wait was very good, only around 5-6 minutes. The food now, the biryani was very unique I had a good 6-7 pieces in the bowl. The texture of the rice was soft and the ingredients they had used, you can smell and taste that it was fresh. I honestly enjoyed the food a lot. Would definitely come back here with family and friends to try more dishes. Oh and also they had really good Asian Bollywood instrumental calm music in the background to set the atmosphere.
