Shan – Chinese
Shan transports guests to the heart of South Asia with an atmosphere defined by the intoxicating aroma of toasted spices and the vibrant energy of a bustling kitchen. Velvety, slow-simmered Nihari and robust Goat Karahi anchor a menu where smoky, tandoor-charred meats meet the creamy comfort of traditional vegetarian classics like Palak Paneer and Daal Makhni. It is a soulful dining destination where every dish is a masterclass in balance, blending deep, earthy heat with the bright, fresh notes of authentic regional cooking.
