SHAH RESTAURANT

Love this place! Always really good. Would go once a week when I worked close by.

best achari paneer in the Bay Area.

Apparently I do have some self control. I forgot that I did because I hadn’t seen it in action for so long. Like the idea of having one alcoholic drink blows my mind. Most of the time, if I have one alcoholic drink it was by accident. There was this one time where I had one drink, but then I was reminded by a friend that I was DD for the night. Then the rest of the night I just questioned why I would ever go to a social gathering if I can’t drink. My lack of self control doesn’t only apply to alcohol, but also food. Every time I’ve ordered a large pizza for myself I’ve always finished it in one sitting, no matter how full I get. I heard that it takes 20 mins for your brain to tell your stomach that you’re full. Even after my stomach receives the message, I ignore it. That’s why I used to be so bad at going to church. One bite and one sip of the Body and Blood of Christ was never enough for me. It was just a tease. Even after all these experiences where I have lacked self control, I was reminded that there was still hope for me because of Shah. I ordered the vegetable biryani with naan and about half way through it, I decided to listen to that message my brain sent my stomach. It wasn’t like it was easy for me to listen, the food was delicious, but I held strong and put the fork down. I ended up finishing the rest for breakfast. Thank you Shah for reminding me that I do have some self control.

||Double Features|| Shan+Shah
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us have a double feature here. I have seen people taking these two places name (not connected anyhow) as being a saviour for after party hunger during weekends as they both keeps open till after midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Shan has a good collection of rolls and wraps. Shah's tandoori items, both fowl and meat, are real treats. I think first time I tasted baklava was from one of these places.

This spot obviously knows how to take care of their clients. Constantly with a friendly attitude. The food is reasonably priced, always flavorful and neat.
