Shish Mahal - Glasgow City

This restaurant was called the Shish Mahal then it was the Spice Room. It is now called the Indian Grill. My friend Anne and I have patronised this establishment for the last twenty or so years. Until the last visit it was run by a lovely guy; Sammy, who couldn’t be more attentive. BUT, on our last visit there was another guy running the place. This guy told us he had taken over the running of the place. He was ABSOLUTELY devoid of personality and his Customer Care consisted of, ‘you’re the customer and I don’t care’. I had vowed never to return, however Anne loves their kormas, so we decided to have a meal there one more time. We were delighted to see that Sammy had resumed his role as mine host. If you like Indian grub treat yourself and give this place a try.the food is excellent, the staff VERY friendly and the prices are more that fair.

My friend and I decided to stop by this restaurant for an early dinner around 4:30. Despite the early hour, the restaurant already had a few diners. We ordered the Veg. Pakora, which came in a huge portion and was freshly cooked. For our main dishes, we had the Mince Bhoona, Kashmiri Prawn Korma, boiled Pilau Rice, and a large Nan Bread. We washed it all down with a pint of Cobra beer for a total price of less than £40. The service was quick and efficient.

Had a wonderful time last nyt 5/2/17,our server was Jag n he was terrific! We normally stick to our usual favourites but Jag encouraged us to try something different,he knew the flavours we liked so he went thru the menu, ingredients and how it was cooked n served etc,and we weren't disappointed!! The food was amazing! Unfortunately,Jag had left before we got to praise him n say our goodbyes..He's leaving shortly to study law in England,so all the best Jag in your future endeavours..thanx again,You made my special birthday a nyt to remember.mr Ali done well when he hired you ,up b missed x

We had a bit of difficulty understanding our waiter, but the food... wow, the food! Be prepared to spend some time reading through the extensive menu. We started with papadum and the garlic pratha that simply melted in our mouths. My wife enjoyed a fantastic chicken dish, while I had the best chicken tikka rogan josh I have ever had. The orange sorbet surpassed any I have tried at Italian restaurants. The spices and flavors in the dishes were exceptional and unlike any Indian food I have tasted before. Although our waiter could have been more attentive, the food was so outstanding that it left me speechless. I highly recommend making a stop at Shish Mahal during your visit to Glasgow.

Glasgow friends took us to Shish Mahal for dinner, saying that Glasgow has a reputation for excellent Indian food, and that this was among the best. Take their word for it. The four of us had different dishes and all were proclaimed excellent. Friendly and efficient service, crisp table cloths, a nice Indian beer (Cobra) what was not to like. A pity they don't deliver to Australia!
