Sheesh Mahal

We had the combo starter, meat handi and the chicken handi. food was pretty standard. meat handi was the best out of all, but overall lacked depth of flavour. tandoori roti were very nice, but naan was not very fluffy and could be mistaken for the tandoori roti. the place looked nice, the service was good enough, we had to ask for cutlery, sauces and salad.

Coming to sheesh mahal for the first time food was incredible it was worth the money also the hospitality is on point you felt welcomed as soon as you come in.

My first visit with friends, i ordered a chicken karahi apna style, which was delicious i will definetley be going again soon.

I bumped into sheesh mahal, on a recommendation from a bouncer in town. sheesh mahal is a very tidy and bright building and stands out very clearly, it was the light at the end of the tunnel for my stomach which had gone without food for most of the day! i was greeted very cordially by one of the wait staff (i forgot to get his name... ((you are a legend my man, you know who you are!)) ), who sat me at a table and provided me a pickle tray and poppadoms very promptly. i was given enough time and space to look through the menu and decide what i wanted to eat. there was plenty of choice, but despite that, i requested something off menu on the off chance that the chefs might be able to create what my stomach was craving... "the legend" told me that they could indeed cater to my stomachs imagination, and so i settled with an anchor mixed with makahani! whilst waiting for my meal, "the legend" brought me a very tasty chilled lemon and lime drink, which i am led to believe is a traditional pakistani creation. this went down very well throughout my meal, and as i slowly made my way through the poppadoms and pickle tray. the main course arrived and the presentation and temperature of the food was fantastic! the taste of the achar/makahani blend was to die for! i have had both these dishes individually but together was a match made in heaven, in particular the addition of raisins and mixed nuts to the dish created a mini adventure with each bite! all this came to a very reasonable ~£14.00, which is a bargain at twice the price! all in all i am gutted that i haven't been to this restaurant before, and i will definitely return! thanks mr legend and the whole team at sheesh mahal. a very satisfied customer!
