One standout feature of Sheesh Mahal is its incredible dessert selection, earning rave reviews from diners looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.
The live music adds a delightful ambiance, helping to create a vibrant atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience.
The refined use of spices and flavors in dishes like Jalfrezi and various curries ensures a memorable, flavorful experience for every palate.

Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours on Saturday evenings. This can lead to longer wait times for tables, which may deter some visitors looking for a quick meal.
Despite the amazing food, parking can be another concern, particularly during busy times. While there is free street parking available, securing a convenient spot can sometimes prove challenging, especially on weekends.
A few diners have also mentioned that the selection of starters feels limited compared to the extensive main menu, leaving them wanting more options to kick off their meal.

Gorgeous food and amazing value at this Indian restaurant. Had not been for a while and went on a Thursday night and picked the 5 course and a drink offer for £12 95. Food was excellent and you simply cannot fault the price. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning. Many thanks.
