Probably the best Indian food I've ever tasted. Was authentic and felt homemade. Okra was beautiful and popped in your mouth. A family run business with friendly staff and a very helpful waitress with a twinkle in her eye who was keen to give the customers what they want. Hats off to this place. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely meal.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Tapas option, giving a nice amount of 2 curries (perfect for one person). Would definitely go again.
Lovely place.
Friendly staff. Quite a big place inside. Decent sized menu.
The food was superb and the service was excellent.
Right on the front of the marina.
Definitely recommended.
Lovely layout, open plan so you can see the whole kitchen. Good atmosphere and fairly busy for new year time, but not irritatingly busy. Excellent food and very reasonable. The Indian Tapas Menu is very filling and exceptional value for money with starter, rice, naan and two main dishes for £15 (pictured).
The best dine-in Indian in Hartlepool. The tapas is hard to beat for value and the food is great. Never had an issue with the service and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant also has a full array of vegan options on the back of the menu, and are happy to answer any questions.
I find the food is noticeably better sitting in than taking away.
My family and I tried Sheesh Mahal for the first time at the weekend, they have disabled access which I was grateful for as I'm an electric wheelchair user, we have severe allergies that the friendly staff said they could cater for and showed us the wonderful vegan selection of food on the menu and replaced dips with vegan alternatives.
We had starters and a main each, unfortunately there was no Seitan (meat replacement) available for the mains but they had tofu or vegetables instead, so we were very happy with those options. The starters were delicious, with a wonderful array of flavour sauces to dip into. The main was exquisite, we all very much enjoyed our choices except for my eldest child, she didn't enjoy the Korma she ordered as it was too strong of a coconut flavour for her, the staff noticed instantly and asked if she would like something different, she tried our dishes and got the same as my wife which was the Balti, and the staff member replaced it immediately.
Unfortunately there were no dessert options available for our dietary needs. Something simple like a sorbet on a aquafaba meringue nest with a little compote or syrup would have been perfect.
Very impressed with the service, the wonderful staff, and it was very pleasant restaurant to dine in, although rather busy but that happens when the food and service is so good.
We will definitely be coming back for more.
The food was exceptionally good, cooked fresh and was very quick. Staff went over and above the service required, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. I am going to recommend to all my friends, it was amazing. I’m really looking forward to going back. I had the Chikken Tikka Palak and coconut naan. Absolutely gorgeous, tasty food. My friend had the Ocra (which was soooo good, very tasty), and she had the chicken paneer, and a roasted aubergine, and something else I can’t remember. Anyway it was all perfect. Go you won’t be disappointed A⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩
Was pretty quiet when we visited. However, on the plus side, we were served our food really quickly.
Ordered the Indian Tapas meal, which comprised of a starter, rice dish and two smaller portions of curry, and a naan again of your choice. Food was hot and more than enough for me and very tasty.
Absolutely amazing food. So delicious and great value for money. I had the tapas special, which is what is shown here. Will definitely be back ☺️
After seeking advice from Shay regarding ordering a takeaway, I can only say probably the best Indian meal I've had, the rice was light and flavoursome, the Lamb madras was exceptional in taste and spice levels, onion bahji were crispy and delicious, the garlic and chilli Naan was both spicy and tasty with a following afterburner lol.
All in all an amazing meal, thanks to each and everyone for the awesome meal 🙏
Never been here before but went on Tuesday for my birthday the food was amazing and the staff were very nice will definitely be going again
Got a take away, bettween 10 lads every single one of us were blown away with the sheer quality, and hospitality. Wouldn’t go any where else for an Indian. Very impressive
Very good food and service. The vindaloo tasted like a naga which for me was excellent.
Very hot in the restaurant.
One of the best in the north east.
Family run business which is lovely. Food is really good. Worth visiting. Thank you. 😊
