Saturday at Khan's

The restaurant that we came to know from RanoAdidas's blog, the Khan's is located in Bayswater, right at the corner to Whiteleys along Westbourne Groove. Apparently the eatery place has been in business for over 31 years and has refrained from serving alcohol for 10 years now - quite a challenge as Brits like to eat their curry with their beer. But business nonetheless is roaring. We booked our table well in advance but due to traffic turned up a few minutes late, that ended seeing our table been taken away. So we have to wait, but luckily not for too long. There are always people waiting to be seated but the place is more than capable of handling the demand. I asked the chap serving us about the place, he said there are up to 300 seats (really hard to believe) with nearly 70 workers and 3 kitchens, so the service is really fast and efficient.


On the place itself, it has definitely its own unique buzz and atmosphere. It's more of a place where you want to meet up in a large group, things around you just too frenzy if you are looking for a quiet meal out. The best food we thought is the chicken tandoori, the rest are nothing extra-ordinary. If one is looking for real special Northern Indian cook, there are better places to go. The prices here though are quite reasonable, definitely cheaper than those in Holland. And if one is driving, the restaurant would pay the parking ticket but it only applies to a NCP car park nearby. That is definitely good value for money as parking in London can really bite your wallet.
