Situated in the heart of Brick Lane, The Shampan takes its name from the canvas boats found in rural parts of the Bangladesh region which is central to its cuisine. Focussing on the Moghul cooking of north India and Bangladesh, the menu offers tangy curries and fish specialities plus signature dishes such as whole spring chicken marinated with spicy sauce and baked in the tandoor. The spacious restaurant with its mellow wooden flooring and elegant moulded ceiling mirrors this easygoing blend of the contemporary and the traditional.
