The Shezan Indian Cuisine in Edinburgh, City of

It is always a great pleasure to have my favorite Shazan chicken tika with the wonderful service with a very nice smile of Mahima..... Ways perfect happy evenings and look forward to coming back.

If you genuinely want to eat Indian food , do not go to this place, thats the best i can suggest being an Indian . It’s a cheap restaurant w cheap quality food. 1. Naan, overcooked and bitter, 2. instead of pilau they served jeera rice unless i have been eating wrong pilau my entire life 🤣 3. Samosas basically frozen ones which were deep fried which i feel we can easily get that from an Indian store and deep fry it ourselves. Service is terrible, not attentive while order been taken from customers, owner or so called owner of the restaurant seems very entitled, no care for genuine customer feedback/customer care. I had given a review about the food and the only thing they had to say was “this is how we have been doing all these years” , which left me w a good laughter 😅 Overall my experience was not good at all. He did take off £2.50 for the rice though, out of courtesy which I felt was genuine, but the stress i had to go through wasnt worth it.

Literally the best Indian food in Edinburgh. The taste is very similar to local Indian food Everything is near to perfection

Mahima was a great server and the food was amazing.

Very good and very pleasant I recommend it

Perfect !!! Tonight’s meal! Welcome, service, food and cleanliness!! Dishes with extra taste and plenty! Staff as kind as it no longer exists, unfortunately! A big thank you to everyone and special mention to Mahima! Adorable ! I highly recommend !

Great restaurant for a meal before going to the Playhouse theatre. 3 courses for £23, fab value and quality food. Staff are always polite and attentive.

I was there when i went to Scotland for one week with my school and i have to say that this is one of the best Restaurants i've ever Seen. The Food was delicious and the Service was absoulutely nice. We even Made Photos with the staff members before me and my friend went Back to the Hotel. 10/10👌🏻

I had booked my take away for collection at 17:40, I finally got it at 18:25, 45 minutes late! It doesn't matter if the food is good the service is not satisfactory, I won't come back.

I have tried Peshwari Naan in four different Indian restaurants in Edinburgh, and I can conclude this is the most delicious and biggest one! Very satisfying and appetising! Here the Naan is not dry or crispy but fluffy and smooth. I love their Peshwari Naan the most. And the barbecue mix is a must! Very signature flavours make the grill impressive and any one of the mix is tasty - so rich and heavy in flavours but not too salty and I love this. Mushrooms are normal; King prawn Tandoori is beyond my expectations because if I’m not wrong, they use Tiger (isn’t it King prawn?!) prawns to serve this dish, these prawns taste and smell like lobster! You must try! Also I guess the tikka masala and rice are sides for the mix grill, and they are delicious as well. I am planning orders as many as I want in the future. Great recipes.

Lovely food, great service and atmosphere. The restaurant was a little cold so I sat with my coat on but the food was great!

Starter portions were stingy. Garlic naan was awesome. Food quality was good overall

Close to our hotel, we chose this Indian restaurant among others in this street based on the comments 😉 And we were not disappointed 😁 The setting is not attractive because there is almost no decoration. Fortunately we didn’t stick to this criterion! Excellent cuisine, hearty, with the Indian flavors that we appreciate 😋 The Royal Biryani was delicious as was the Chef's Special accompanied by extra Kashmiri rice and Tandoori Paratha 👍 Special mention for the Kulfi Pistachio to die for 🤪 In short, an excellent address that we highly recommend 👏👏👏

We had the North Indian garlic chicken and the lamb bhuna. Both were excellent. The naans are also great. The keema naan was one of the best I've had in a long time.

Comida muy buena, es el sitio más barato al que hemos ido en Edimburgo. Los camareros son muy atentos. La verdad que lo recomiendo.

Kindness and Quality. Best Indian restaurant I have never tried .

Good food, bit hotter than we expected but enjoyed it. Not many other customers when we went and the staff, although very pleasant and helpful, weren't very subtle about wanting us to leave once we'd settled the bill.

Restaurante hindú fabuloso. Comida auténtica y sabrosa, Precio barato, gran variedad de platos. Local amplio de Edimburgo. Para repetir y recomendar.

Sumit, He was so kind and helpful 🤙🏻

It was great eating at Shezan in Edinburgh. Mohima was so kind and helpful. It was great to eat there. Kindly reccomend the place.

I ordered butter chicken and pilau rice and garlic nan. All perfect but the nan is over cooked little bit. I was served by Neha and she was polite.

Not the best place for Indian food.

The food tasted too garlicky. Not a good choice for an Indian food.

Excellent, but on last visit they brought the fire: extra spicy. Not common based on my other visits where the heat was well balanced. We enjoy the spice, so all in all it was quite good. We all left with a good sweat on our brow. Glad they made it back after Covid.

Really tasty Indian food. Good selection on the menu and quick service. Babu was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back!

انتبهوا للفاتورة اذا جيتوا تحاسبون اللاكل تمام الخدمة بطيئه جدا

Lovely food, nice relaxed atmosphere and staff were great. Especially Bobby, he asked why we were visiting and when he found out it was my husbands birthday he delivered a piece of cake with a candle and sung happy birthday with the other staff much to my husbands horror which made it even funnier. Would definitely visit again if we were back in the city. 100% recommend 👌

Absolutely amazing curry from the pickle tray to the main it was all excellent. Best curry I've had in years. Service was attentive but not in your face. Wish I lived closer

I had a wonderful dining experience at Shezan in Edinburgh with my partner. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. The dishes at Shezan were not only tasty but truly exceptional. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The keema rice had a rich and aromatic taste that paired perfectly with the garlic naan, which was a delightful accompaniment. The mixed grill was a highlight, with a variety of succulent meats and a burst of flavors. Shezan's cuisine left a lasting impression, and I highly recommend trying these dishes when you visit. I must mention Kieran, one of the staff members, who provided exceptional service throughout our meal. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a great time. We'll definitely be returning to Shezan for more delectable dishes and excellent service.

Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre visite au shezan en famille. Ce restau est face au théâtre et super bien placé avec tram à côté. Nous étions 4, nous avons pris des grandes boissons. Lassi mangue très bon, deux entrées à partager, et un plat chacun (curry tika, lamb Bouna, des lentilles végétarien et un Tandoori tika). Tout était délicieux, savoureux, mais attention quand même un peu épicé. Nous avons aussi pris riz pilau et 2 nans pour accompagner. Nous avons payé 94€ ce qui est très raisonnable pour Edimbourg. Très bon.

Me and my partner loves the food. Its our to go place everytime we need some good asian food. Suneil served us and was a good host.

The food is amazing and the service is stunning. They were very considerate of our wishes and gave us many things without charge.

Absolutely fantastic service 10/10 thanks too mr babu

Our server Sai was really friendly and service was super quick. Would definitely come here again :))

Exceptional food and superb service by the staff. 5 star from my side.

We were visiting the city and decided to dine in The Shezan on two consecutive nights because food was excellent, full of flavor, perfect portion size. Very welcoming staff, restaurant was very clean and spacious. Highly recommend.

We've been eating there with a group of 9 people. We had some starters and 9 different main courses so we could try several dishes. Everything we had was delicious and unique in taste. Among our favorites was the Tandoori Chicken Tikka. It can get a little bit loud in the restaurant but the waiters immediately reacted to our request of turning the music volume down a bit. All in all a great evening. Would recommend 👍

Brilliant service from Babu and shaied our personal waiter. Like no service we've ever had before. A* EXPERIENCE. Would definitely be returning x

We are visiting from the US and found the food to be excellent and the service was great. We will be back!

The staff here are really friendly and attentive. The food was very good, one of the best Indian Restaurants we have been to. We were here a few years ago, but couldnt remember where it was, so were delighted to find it again. Will definitely be back on our next Trip to Edinburgh. Thank you Shahid.

As always the Shazan delivered on fantastic food and impeccable service, for our regular reunion dinner on Friday night. We were served by Shahid but he was not alone with eight of us to feed and water. It never lets us down.

Lovely food and attentive staff. Really enjoyed our meal, food was hot and delicious. The staff were really helpful.

For a city centre restaurant its good food at good value. Recommend the Srilankan chicken.

We had a great dinner at Shazam’s the staff were very helpful and the food was delicious especially the Lamb Korma.

Shahid did a wonderful job serving us, very polite and attentive. The food was very tasty as well. I enjoyed the whole experience.

This spot serves delicious food, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and they made us feel like the most special and welcome guests. The food was excellent and I had the best dessert of my life with the pistachio kulfi ice cream. I highly...

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. We were served by Shahid and he gave us courteous and attentive service. We enjoyed the pickled dishes with the poppadoms and the chef special curry and the Punjabi garlic chicken masala. The garlic naan bread was also delicious....

Well done Indian food. And super friendly and warm service by Atharva. He made this one a very very special meal. Looking forward to come here again and definitely will recommend for the service…

Absolutely amazing! Service was outstanding and the food did not disappoint! Highly recommend the chicken biryani as it is a national favourite of many. 100% will come back again and again!

This eatery came as a welcome bright spot after the rather lackluster opening day of a tour. The service was prompt and friendly. The two young men took my request for extra spice seriously--something that does not always happen given my Nordic/Celtic complexion--making an excellent...

Fantastic service! We would definitely recommend! Not one moment without someone asking us if we needed something!

Well located for hotels and bars, and opposite the theatre. The staff were very welcoming without being pushy. The menu was varied so had a good choice, with some unfamiliar options. We had the chef special, which was a very flavoursome dish with garlic and...

Absolutely amazing food. Would highly recommend Shazen. Sumit that served my friend and I was very pleasant and accommodating. Very welcoming atmosphere and will definitely be back.

I’ve been to the Shazam a few times and it’s the best in the city for Indian food ! The staff are lovely and friendly who make you feel very welcome. Thank you

Good location just opposite the Playhouse. Excellent food and very attentive service . The price is reasonable and good value for money. Nice relaxing atmosphere too. Been twice in one week. Will be back again.

This place serves great food. Staff very nice, place lovely and clean and not rushed out the door once you have finished eating. Would definitely go back.

A quite good Indian meal. The service was pleasant and helpful. The poppadums and pickle tray first class - there was a very wide choice of pickles and dips. The curries were nice, but not too exciting; the flavours a bit ordinary. My wife asked...

On a recent visit to Edinburgh for the Tattoo on 19th Aug, my wife and I booked a table for a meal. Lovely restraunt, staff very friendly. Didn't feel at all rushed. Food was fantastic and would highly recommend having a meal here if in this area. Just over the road from the Edinburgh Playhouse Theater 👍

Food excellent, ordered starters, curry, rice's, naan and veg side. Food was tasty and portion sizes good. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend a visit.

Our second visit. Excellent service and really flavoursome food. Not your usual generic curry, you can really taste all the spices and herbs. Recommend the podadums and pickles. Amazingly pickles and sauces that are different from the norm. The Ceylonese curry is outstanding. We also...

Amazing food, great service. A little on the pricey side. Worth a treat.

Fantastic place with great food and great service. My missus' byriani was bit spicy and they sorted quickly after asking how it was with no fuss and it tasted great! We share...

الطعام كان لذيذا طلبنا برياني و نان بالثوم و جالفريزي و كانت خدمة مميزة فقد أكرمونا …أشكر Mahima على خدمتها...

Food was gorgeous, this was a family meal for 8 people including children. We were a mixture of vegetarians and meat eaters. The veggie food was delicious but a few more options would have been nice. All meals had lovely layers of flavours. The restaurant...

Good choice of dishes and very tasty.

A restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and an outstanding menu - this was without doubt the very best Indian meal I have ever eaten, and I eat Indian cuisine very regularly.

Had a wonderful dining experience. Mahima and Raj were a delight. Very engaging and helpful with the menu and with also suggesting experiences in places to go and things to do while in Edinburgh Scotland. Both were very professional yet relaxed and very friendly. They...

Restaurant was recommended in a tourist flyer that I picked up, and loving Indian food, thought I'd give it a go. A strange experience, but a good one! Interior was a little eclectic, but the food and service was top notch. Down the end of...

This was possibly the best Indian food my partner and I have ever had. We had garlic naan, lamb biryani, and paneer tikka masala all phenomenal. Great service. Walked right in and got a table. We went to another highly recommended, trendy Indian restaurant in...

Great curries,well presented and the Naan bread is huge(one will do two).Service was excellent as usual

We have visited this restaurant most times when we are in Edinburgh due to the quality of the food and the excellent service. This visit was unfortunately not the best. The starters and main courses were delicious BUT the time waiting for our mains was...

Food served by them is amazing and fulfilled all our requirements. We were served by mahima, kiran and the head chef. Would definitely recommend to go here and try there food

I really can't express how lovely the food is here, highly recommend.

The premises are pretty cold and, in our opinion, require a complete renovation to create a warm atmosphere for the customers and its employees. The service is quite rushed, with the waiting staff and their manager walking too fast without any specific reason—like a fast-food/take...

Stopped by for dinner last night and was very good. The only downside is on the mixed grill platter the serving size is a little small with only one lambchop and one kabob. The food was delicious and though I couldn't have the Naan bread, it looked very good. My wife had the chicken rogan josh, and was very good as well. If gluten free, highly recommend the place for good food. Our waitress Mahima was very nice and super friendly towards our 3 year old.

Had 2 consecutive meals here. Its opening hours helped us grab dinner after 10.30 as well. They accommodate all your special requests if you have any with regards to your food. Do visit.

The food here was delicious! The staff was really friendly and very helpful and helping us decide what to order. We liked it so much. We came back multiple times!

Essen ganz okay, Klimaanlage viel zu kalt eingestellt!

Maravilloso lugar para comer o cenar!!! Increíble la experiencia, volveré a repetir, y lo recomiendo 100% la atención espectacular gracias...

We had a wonderful visit! The food and hospitality was superb! I was trying Indian food for the first time in years and the food was amazing!!

Great taste n happy to get Indian taste

Absolutely delicious - the best Indian food I have EVER had!!!

The spot is great....enjoyed the food.it was really good.Would recommend to other people to visit and have food and drinks

Vraiment très bon et propre, le personnel très accueillant notamment Mahima 😊 je recommande!!

Loved the food, service was excellent, quiet atmosphere but that was ideal for our big group at lunchtime.

Amazing restaurant! We happened upon Shezan on a recent trip to Edinburgh and it was the best mean we had on our trip. The food was amazing as was the service. Kiran was attentive, very personable which made the experience even better. Thank you for making our dining experience so great!

Amazing food and amazing staff who are very helpful with recommendations and are incredibly friendly and enhance the experience, such a great place to eat in edinburgh and we had a very special date night.

The food is very tasty. We saw the restaurant on the street and decided to give it a try. The waiter - Raj - was very helpful, and we really enjoyed our food. We had biryani with chicken and another hot dish whose name I...

Wonderful Indian cuisine, I had the Chef´s unique and it was awesome. I want to congratulate Raj for an excellent service and welcome to Mexican tourists like us.

Overall, great food and sevices. Food wise, to us, it is the best along Leith Walk. We tried few along the road (from St James Quarter and towards Leith), we like the curry there. Service wise, Mahima and her tall male collegue (the others are...

Excellent food, good selection to choose from on menu. All food was hot and served on hot plates (my big thing). Raj was a great waiter!
