Showshaa - The Modern Taproom

Showshaa feels like a Bollywood afterparty in the middle of Surrey: sleek leather booths, white bar stools and a movie‑camera motif set the stage for loud music, craft beer and inventive Indian pub food. Plates arrive theatrically—sizzling signature platters, honey chilli potatoes that snap with heat and sweetness, drunken prawns lacquered in spice. The bar hums with locals out for celebrations and families hosting Diwali dinners; on quieter weeknights couples and groups slip into red booths for cocktails. Service is polished and personal—staff will flag a birthday with a brownie and a smile. There’s a convivial rowdiness to it, a place that’s as happy to show off fusion riffs as it is to serve comforting daal and naan. If you want buttoned‑up fine dining you’ll be mildly surprised; if you want lively, stylish, modern Indian fare with a loud soundtrack and a reserve‑required weekend, this is your spot.
