Note:  Yay!  Yelp finally launches in London!  I originally wrote this prior to Yelp's new UK connection and had to list it with my SF reviews...  So happy it can now be in its real home!  It is still at the top of my list of favorite Indian restaurants!!!  

This is the best Indian restaurant in England, and my all-time favorite Indian place in the world.  When you're in London, you'll definitely visit Harrod's or the Victoria & Albert Museum, and when you do, you'll be starving afterward.  So head on over to Shaheen and let them totally spoil you for any other Indian food!  

My friend Damien recommended this place, and we visited on our first day in London, then re-visited several times during our first stay there.  Now, every time I'm in London, I go, just to reconfirm the total deliciousness of their food.  It truly is memorable.  (Thanks for the recommendation, Damien!)

The service is gracious.  The interior is romantic and very Indian.  Prices are fair.  

I always compare Indian food by how the Chicken Tikka Masala rates -- it seems like a good common denominator that is on almost every Indian menu.  Shaheen's outshines every other restaurant I've sampled.  You can't go wrong with their other menu items -- we've tried almost everything.  Also, note that when you specify "Hot" that's what you'll get -- expect the steam to come out of your ears!
