Thought I’ll pop by HGW to arrange for a second visit to Shish Mahal and was pretty shocked to see the only damning review.
No comments on the Nepalese food though, only tried the North Indian spread and it was really good!
The naan basket was really interesting, consisting of a combination of plain (that came sprinkled with sesame seeds), cheese, garlic, and dried fruit. Yea, you heard me right!
Naan that had little bits of preserved fruit in it! It’s the first time I’ve seen a fruit naan and it tasted really good as well.
If you have a party of 5 and up, do try the platter which comes with fish, shrimp, chicken.
For those who might get put off by the intense green shade of the chicken tikka, that green spice does wonders to chicken.
Service was impeccable as well, staff were friendly had no qualms explaining to us what the dishes comprised of.
The only grouse I have was the masala tea, which tasted more like milk tea with a slight spicy aftertaste.
Definitely coming back!
