Sheesh Mahal in Bradford

Love the food here.been going for many many years now.superb

I had lamb on the bone from this restaurant and I got to say it was really dry and bland no taste and no flavour whatsoever gave me an upset stomach. Service was really poor no one to tend to our table.

Very nice food and excellent service

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 Achar 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!

I ordered 6 chapatis and 1 Chana dal, Chana dal was only a little quantity to the base of vessel. I call the restaurant about the issue, a guy took the phone and respond to the problem as I ordered a side dish, this is not the 1 St time I am ordering from the particular resturant, he was responding as he don't care, he said you put the review and don't buy again, he was really unprofessional. As a coustumer my money is gone, and didn't even got an apology from the staff. This is the last and final time I am buying anything from sheesh Mahal.

beautiful as allways 100% best in Bradford

Fui a sheeshmahal el sábado 28 de septiembre de 2024 con mi familia, ya que era mi cumpleaños de sobrinas, en cualquier otro momento ha sido a la perfección, pero no en esta noche en particular, pedimos un plato para 4 personas y nuestra comida principal al mismo tiempo en cualquier forma en que nuestro plato vino y ni siquiera lo habíamos terminado entonces, ya que estábamos comiendo el plato principal llegó a nuestra mesa le dije al joven caballero que no hemos terminado nuestro plato todavía, así que nuestro plato principal va a estar frío, respondió que le dijeron que llevara los platos principales a nuestra mesa. Estaba disgustado con el nivel de servicio esa noche, ok, el restaurante estaba ocupado, pero tiene que haber un nivel de servicio que viene cuando estás cenando y en ese nite, el servicio era asqueroso, el gerente ya no está hardley allí y ahora no está alrededor del nivel de servicio se ha ido por el desagüe y cuando comenzamos a comer nuestra comida, estaba casi frío personalmente, creo que el personal necesita ser capacitado y el nivel de servicio que dan también.

Nice food very poor service. Asked 4 times for drinks asked 3 or 4 times for cutlery by which time food was getting cold. Shame that ignorant staff ruined our Saturday night out. On the plus side food was nice and came out quick. We never stayed for dessert due to risk of being totally ignored by staff.

Used to be a good place to eat , not very clean in toilets , food was poor very dry , dishes ordered did not have usual ingredients in disappointed

Over friendly staff to the point it was uncomfortable and decided to quite literally join our table and sat down. (Non of us knew the man) Food was unpleasant, left a bad after taste and a few trips to the loo.

Very poor experience, went quite late, only one of the staff was doing ALL the work the young lad in the waistcoat, the manager sat around doing nothing, blatantly smoking his vape infront of customers, other staff helping themselves to desserts from the dessert counter. I really can't see why anyone would return.

The best delivery driver I have come across thank you uncle you need a raise

Good for only when you don't have other options thay still freeze all currys even no taste anymore

Really enjoyed the curry, just has I like it. Thank you so much.

Excellent food, great atmosphere. The service was excellent (too excellent) as we felt a little rushed between courses but this is not a complaint, just an observation . I would definitely go again it was really tasty!!

Really enjoyed my madras very authentic & all the sides were equally beautiful taste best I’ve had in along time keep up the great work & I’ll keep coming back thank you for a delicious meal 👍

I came here for a meal with my clients. I ordered the butter chicken, but when it arrived, I was shocked to find semen inside the dressing. To add to this, when I complained to the waiter, he simply replied with 'You want to know how we make the sauce?' Luckily, one of my clients pushed the waiter away because he was pulling his fly down. I don't know if you want this to happen to you, but I wouldn't. I will never, ever eat here again. I wish I could give it 0 stars.😡😡😡😡😤

very pleased with the delivery and I enjoyed the food very much. thank you

iam very pleased with the delivery, also the curry was spot on, I really enjoyed it. thank you so much, will keep ordering in near future, thanks again.

Used to be good at one time needs a revamp and some air freshners stunk of body odour disgusting

always delay at delivering tortilla (roti) despite customer is calling for roti and staff was not even giving attention to customers

Great customer service. Delicious food 😋

Unfortunately this place has gone down hill massively. Food was bland and tastless and everything tasted the same from the chicken to the meat. Portion sizes were also very small for the price. Service was horrendous. No customer service skills at all. No welcome, no goodbye the waiter only spoke to ask “whats your order”. Atmosphere was also tragic. The water fountains thats usually gave the place a bit of life were turned off, no music in the background nothing. Just the sound of the busy road outside to set the atmosphere. I came to this place as a teenager and loved it, thought it was the best meat masala in Bradford. Unfortunately i wont be returning.

"The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! Each dish is bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite is a culinary delight. You won't be disappointed!"

Just ordered, one of the best curry's 5 around...

Good experience and great food content

Excellent restaurant with friendly staff

this is my second order from you, first time I did not say anything, but it was late and the curry was cold, this order was delivered on time but the curry was cold, I except the order to be hot.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Excellent place with friendly staff

I haven’t recieved my food the guy over the phone was adamant I received my food I even offfered too FaceTime the gentlemen but he was adamant to get a refund but that’s not the point it’s my food that I like

First time ordering was worth money paid tasty full of flavour very authentic 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

A place where we go once a year as we are from outside Bradford.. not as well known but their food is absolutely spot on.. the starters and curries and on par if not better than the more famous names in Bradford. Definitely recommend

1st time ordering excellent madras excellent pakora mint sauce excellent chapatis excellent & quick delivery very enjoyable meal thank you!

We are visiting friends from Lincoln and had a lovely meal here. Me and my husband are vegetarian, and we had the vegetable korma and Rogan josh. The food was delicious, giant samosa to start were amazing and huge !! Our waiter was really lovely and looked after us. Will be returning on our next visit to Bradford. Highly recommend this place for a decent curry. Prices are very reasonable too. 👍👍

I recently dined at sheeshmahal, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to various tastes. Each dish showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients and exquisite flavors. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff providing a seamless dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the waitstaff demonstrated a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. personally i liked it but don't know about your taste buds😋

Great place to visit. Food is exceptional and good service. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Nice food but prices a bit high.

Food was awesome better than a lot of Indians in bradford Chicken karahi, magaz

Visited with my son last night. Service was good. Son ordered a mutton curry. I ordered chicken. Good portions. The mutton curry was very heavy in garam masala. Tasted a bit dry. Chicken curry was pretty decent. Rotis were really good. The mild sauce and green chilli puree were outstanding! If we're ever local again I'd definitely revisit. Not as good as made out by locals. But definitely not bad

They don't have much seating, but their food is really good.

The food was yummy and hot. Came out really quickly and a beautiful taste can not fault it at all. Cleanliness could be better but the food makes up for it. Brilliant raita too. We got the tawa for 3 and a drink bill came to £40.

The worst curry restaurant in Bradford. Microwaved food and rubbish service. Avoid at all costs!

Called in late Saturday night , starters and main and bread sides all amazing and hot and spicy as I ordered it , can’t fault this restaurant, clean , great staff and lovely customers from all walks of life , felt comfortable and relaxed, thank you to all

My first visit with friends, i ordered a chicken karahi apna style, which was delicious i will definetley be going again soon. My second visit and we tried the Tawa for 3, which was very tasty and i recommend it.

Beautiful starters and mains. Meat masala is good if you like home style food

NICE FOOD AND SERVICE PLACE TO HAVE FAMILY PARTY

great food last night as a walk in table of 6, service was efficient - will definitely go back

Superb food. Could not fault the service would visit again when in Bradford!

Food always 5x but last time I went there customer services was a joke, waiting 20mins for popadoms when the party I was with had them straight away, then being told to sit down by a male half my age, because I was asking for sauce, once I got the order late, won’t be going there again after 00+.

Magaz karahi was pukka as always, Jzk

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.

Come in today with family. Ordered starters nothing special. Chicken massla for mains was so dry. Really disappointed. The place needs a good clean it’s run down.

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.

The service is poor and the the food is disgusting try to keep away from this place

The food was disgusting I ordered chicken tikka masala and lamb handi I been sick since I’ve come home if I was u I would definitely avoid this place if I could Give this place zero stars I would it’s a absolute disgrace off a restaurant

ordered for the family online on way to collect got a msg they cancelled order but they was less than half full in the seating area if the restaurant waste of time and money and still w8ing for my refund .what a joke

Food was not great at all, some weird onion bhajis rock hard, curry was too sweet even though supposed to be medium spiced and dry as was the rice and cup not clean for coffee

Was in Bradford asian clothes shopping with a large group. We have attended the Halifax branch previously aslnd were impressed. They had a ample space to seat our 14 large group. Food was impressive and the service was brilliant. We ordered 3 Tawa for 4 and was plenty of food to go round.

Been here few years ago with my family, the service we have have had was appalling as we weren't treated poorly mainly probably because of us being indian and also the food was not cooked properly and was raw, would definitely not come here again or recommend my kind of people to come and this is just racist

Superb food great shami kebab starter and lamb on the bone curry nice chappaties my wife had lamb balti also great we will be back

A lovely chicken bhuna delicious but didn't like the onion bhajis not bad restaurant seemed nice and tidy

Good food as always.meat and chicken karahi...desi with crispy roti.

I smelled the chargrill from outside and thought “definitely eating from the grill” - exceptional food, impeccable service - first date tackle, 100% recommend!

Very poor service,we didn't get our food on time plus we had to call them everytime when we needed anything... There weren't many people but still soo slow..and our food was soo dry,no gravy,we didn't get what we asked for,waste of time,wish we went some other restaurant. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone....

Great tasting food at a fraction of the price VGV

I find that this place now is going down hill very poor in side filthy walls floors around the place very unhygienic place

We really enjoyed food. First class service usman was very polite would recommend to friends and family thank you

Sat down in restaurant no acknowledgement from manager or staff just dropped menus on table. Like the the world has something against them lol your Glasses were dirty and place wasn't clean . Curries were very dry and ordered a naan which came 20 mins after the curries came out. Defo won't be coming to this place again.

You've tried the rest, now try the best, can't say more

Great place for a dine out!!! Tasty food. Chicken Karahi and Lamb Karahi are a must try.

REVIEW NOT ABOUT THE FOOD Reader discretion is advised After a Long 12 hour shift, me and the team at work decided to go out for a Curry. Their were many suggestions being thrown around and we all decided on Sheesh mahal as we all had heard good things about the establishment but had never tried it before. Strapped in the car and away we go. We arrived arounds 10pm and lucky for us the restaurant was pretty quiet which meant quicker food arrival times and better service. As we walked to the main doors, blood rushing around the body filled with adrenaline and excitement for the meal that was about to come. A Gust of air hit our smelling apparatus(Nose) . All expressions had been turned upside down and any appetite we had, had been eliminated. The strong stench of urine filled the whole establishment and so we left. Nothing else to say. Very heartbroken but I am resilient and I will be back to review the food, only if the stench of urine is fixed.

Really enjoyed our food, and tried something we hadn't had before, absolutely loved the onion bhargis.

1 Star is too generous - We were the only group of people in the restaurant and there was a reason for that… The food was absolutely dreadful, it had zero taste, no sauce in my Chicken Madras, the pieces of chicken were the size of garden peas, not a very nice meal at all, we will not be returning to this restaurant again.

Absolute disgrace waited over 2 hours for my food to be delivered it then came the chips were cold but u could tell they were old got 2 different curry’s to what we asked for and one of them made me sick it tasted that bad

got crohn's so asked to make the curry how I wanted and it's was banging my new place for curry all the locals go taxi drivers definitely worth a visit no doubt

The best carry I eat ever. Service is excellent too but the atmosphere is not nice specially not for the family. Floor is dirty as well.

Keema mather the best just try it.

Used to go here every night in my teens and everytime I come to Bradford I go here to eat

The mint sauce his amazing overall food taste very good 👍

Food is just good but service is little slow costly very high

Rolled in 10 man deep. 10 vindas for the boys, proper baba. Tinned veg, bland mush. Comically poor, howling with laughter as I tapped 15 quid. Size 19 clown shoes worn by these jokers. This was my second cuzza of the night cos I'm hard. International was well better. Big up nashy man's.

Food was as beautiful as always

As soon as I walked in, it smelled! It was horrible but both my partner and I were hungry and he didn’t want to leave. We ordered chicken wings which were supposed to be spicy but weren’t m! That’s perfect for me but my partner loves spicy. They were nice but not grilled enough as the skin was not crispy. Ordered lamb handi on the bone. The taste was nice but too many small bones which you don’t find in other places. Don’t order anything on the bone because all you’ll get is bones with some sauce. Plates were dirty, had to ask for clean ones. Main course plates were also dirty. The hygiene of this place is horrible. I won’t be coming back.

The sheesh mahah is a great curry house in Bradford the staff are very friendly and the food is delicious we have been now a few times

Horrible curry was off and got food poisoning, had to take 7 days off work so this meal cost me arm & leg better off going salahs, service and staff were good seating was excellent good location could do with replacing the sheff

Great tasting food and speedy service, curry portions are a little on the small side.

My dad has been coming here for 40 years and he is not one to suffer fools! The food is always of the best quality, cooked with passion and served with care. They are hands down one of the best curry houses in Bradford and will see our family coming back for many years to come! If you haven't tried their onion bhaji's yet you need to change that this instant. Individually battered and fried onion strips rather than a big clump and I can honestly say they are the best I have ever tasted. Go to this restaurant, you will not regret it!

Place is going down hill food is not as nice as it was before

Food and service was OK, could be better. Atmosphere was not the best, tables are too close together. Not a place I'd go with family unfortunately.

Worst restaurant , never going back again.

Bad service, rude, slow, food wasn’t all that.

Went to this place after 8 plus years used to have amazing food before but today it was bland

Went with friends for a meal was absolutely disgusting not very clean very rough customers fighting and shouting. No menus given by the waiters as we went in and told us not to worry I will tell chef to make it traditional style Karahi. instead of giving us lamb meat they gave sheep was disgusting the manager was very rude and would not accept his staff mistakes in the end they charged us full price even after we told them the food did not taste right they the manager then told us to come back again and we will make it right next time. Avoid this place at all cost as they only care about your money very bad customer service and very rude manager not very clean place rather go to Asda for a sandwich.

Just visited here on the 25th June 2022, reservation for 7.30pm. Me and my Turkish friend who wanted to try this food ordered, chicken karai, vegetable samosas and dhaal. My friend noticed on the starter sauce dish that it was dirty, as if they had not cleaned the dish and had just been topping up the sauce. My friend asked to clean the dish and they cleaned it. They gave us more chutney and extra salad but we didn't eat because of the cleanliness. The pickles selection was atrocious and unappetising. The samosas were uncooked but I ate it and my friend didn't. The food arrived and the chicken karai was fine but the dhaal was off. Now I have severe stomach ache and my Turkish friend is very disappointed of my supposed country's food. I wouldn't recommend. It is only for drunk people at night. This place was great many years ago. Now it's very rubbish.

Good food and nice staff but they give you a table they like you to set not your choice .

Beautiful Asian cuisine nice authentic food atmosphere brilliant gets bit crowded but that's good sign for business I recommend Sheesh mahel

Called in here for a couple of take away meals. And the place was well set up. Will be back for a sit down meal. Thank you.

The Starters are not Bad, ive Had Mix Grill Platter which were quite good, but the Mains are aweful couldnt even eat half of it and left with sromach Upset. SERVICE FROM STAFF isnt even worth mentioning as didnt even greet or say anything jusg took order and Good Bye ;)

Restaurant is just average but food is very nice. Proper Pakistani style serves. very reasonable prices
