Shish Mahal - Edinburgh

Not good food. Barely edible curry and expensive. The place was empty and for good reason. Naan bread double the price of other restaurants.my trip advice is to dodge this place as the curry tastes like it came from an uncle bens jar. Not good food.should have went elsewhere.

Absolutely the best curry in the lothians I dare say Scotland. Phenomenal food and service well worth a visit .narali style curry is exceptional

Takeaway quite expensive now, and just not worth the money. quite bland, after takeaways sits for nearly 30 years the standard and service has dropped to much

Don’t waste your money the food is nothing like it used to be, Quite bland ,small portions and never very hot, The restaurant is also very dirty and quite simply not very good.

Terrible visit. Theywere nice at first. I arrived no reservation at 4.15 pm. Very early and I said I 'd wait but they seated me anyway. The older man/ owner waited on me ...he was nice. We crossed wires when I requested if the music be turned down just a touch. He then lowered it almost to nothing. I have autistic spectrum issues.i wear ear defenders and wax earplugs. I know I am different and I can handle some music. I am careful and go to dine outside busy hours. I don 't ride the bus between 4-6 because too many people and too noisy. Anyway I spoke to older man again after my main meal, when he was clearing away.... to express I like the music I just wishing/enquiring if it could be turned down wee a bit. Finally we got a nice 5/10 volume. I was I only patron in the restaurant and he could have said no. I was easily going to have £30 bill. About 5 pm a delivery driver enters into the restaurant. i knowthis because he brings i delivery bags and sits and plays on his phone.Though I don 't speak Pakistani I knew the older gentleman had told the delivery driver about me and volume of music. About 10 mins in the delivery make turned up volume looking at me as he did. I startled and went to put my eardefenders over my wax plugs already in. He saw my reaction turned it down. He turned it up quite a lot. My meal was over I was just finishing my glass of wine and the older gentleman and I were exchanging niceties. ... Smirking and smiling the delivery man did it again! I was very startled and fed up and jumped to leave. Terrible. No respect. Awful way to end my 1 time visit. I will never go back. I spoke to this young man as I called him directly. He 's not young 35 I 'd say. I told him how unkind he was and he just laughed and smiled and smirked. Like his mother was scolding him. He obviously is spoiled or something to behave in such a way. No knowledge of how to build and keep a restaurant. Patrons are paramount. I was soft and kind....not rude....not demanding. I felt awful. Still feel awful.
