    We tried Chicken Biryani for the first time from this place and were highly disappointed. What we got as Biryani looked nothing more than white rice mixed with some chicken and biryani masala. And the masala wasn’t even blended thoroughly. We would definitely rethink twice before ordering any food from here.

    This is a pakistani restaurant. They have good food options in a cheap rate. We have ordered chicken biriany, goat biriany, papdi chat and chicken tikka. Both the biriany were good a bit spicy though. Chicken tikka presentation and taste was good. For the papdi chaat I felt there was less papdi as compared to chaat. Staffs are nice. And also seemed like they keep the restaurant clean. Provided complementary tea upon arrival.

    So so so good! We went on a recommendation and I can’t wait to be back. Everything was so flavorful and so good! Must get the cheese naan and butter chicken. Heaven.

    I first came here earlier today during a dash. I thought to myself I have to try this place today. So I’m here and the food is amazing. The staff are wonderful and take care of your every need as well as directing you what goes well with what for those new to good tasting foods. I recommend this place highly and I mean highly.

    This was the first time I’ve eaten Indian food in Oklahoma and was pretty disappointed. The serving sizes were just so so small for the price. It didn’t help that the food wasn’t very good at all and I LOVE Indian food so I was hoping for the best. The samosa was just not filled with anything really which was odd. I can’t remember what my husband got but he didn’t care for his either. We will try a different place.

    Good food at reasonably low price. There spice level is a bit high in my opinion but the biriyani tastes pretty good in general. Quantity is more than enough for one person and can be easily split between to person if combined with other items. We had chicken tandoor which was very tasty. Presentation of the food was amazing. We also ordered papri chat which was average and also there should be more of those crunchy things to make it a good proportion to the chat. However, this place seems a good choice for the price!

    Fantastic food, great service, and a very welcoming feel overall. The hot tea was a welcome treat when we were seated. The food came out quickly and had good portion sizes for the price, was seasoned perfectly, and our requested spice levels were spot on. The sauces were all very flavorful, and the food as a whole was great. Everything was hot, fresh, and well worth the prices charged. We were very happy with this meal and would definitely come back, particularly to try some more menu items and to see what else is great.

    My wife and I really enjoyed are experience at Sheesh Mahal, and we will absolutely be coming back. It was packed on a Friday night and now I can see why. The food was rich with flavor and you can tell they spend a lot of time perfecting each dish. We both got chicken based curries and both were amazing. My wife got the Butter Chicken, and I got a chicken curry that was pickled and rich wi the flavor (oil based because I’m lactose intolerant). Our waiter was extremely helpful and everyone was very kind!

    This is an amazing Indian and Halal Restaurant. I ordered a lamb kabab, vegetable curry, spicy rice and Nutella Naan. One word sums up all the food served at this restaurant, which is outstanding. Every item I ordered was exceptional, the service was great and the prices are very affordable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Amazing! From the second we walked in everyone was very friendly. Was a clean and relaxing space. I enjoyed the music. The food is the best I’ve had in all of Oklahoma. I’d definitely recommend everyone come try it. The food was a bit more spicy that I expected but I’m a whimp. Even so I enjoyed everything we got. The mild butter chicken was my favorite.

    I ate here 2 years ago on my last trip and have been craving it ever since. It was exceptional, just as I remembered.

    Great place. Food is delicious. Amazing service. Recommend ordering as a pair, it was to much for one person to finish (this is a good thing). Prices a affordable. So many new things I think I need to go back and try. The kids loved it. Keep up the great work. I only wish there were more pictures on the menu to see what I'm considering.

    We usually visit Sheesh Mahal and we like kebab’s and biryani. I feel very sad to post this today because Sheesh Mahal literally served us spoiled food. We ordered a to go and realized when we opened the package at home. I felt like throwing this on their faces if they were open. Completely disgusting and foiled food. How could even someone blindly pack food which smells like this. If me and my wife get food borne disease tomorrow I am going to sue Sheesh Mahal for this. Completely dissatisfied. I would never visit Sheesh Mahal and will never recommend anyone again.

    I ordered the Butter Chicken with Spicy Rice and Nihari: beef cooked overnight in thick gravy with ginger, lemon, and cilantro: a very nice blending of flavors. Friendly customer service and terrific food created a great dining experience!

  • 5/5 Gordon K. S. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place from the outside. Everything was delicious, despite the surprising spice level. Recommend asking for less spiciness. We had the chicken Biriyani, goat curry and stuffed naan. Friendly staff and speedy food, highly recommend.

  • 5/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local spot for some great Pakistani food. I'm not sure if I've had Pakistani food before this, but the dishes reminded me of Indian food. Most of the reviews raved about the butter chicken so I tried it with the cheese Naan. Both were incredible. The sauce was very flavorful without being overpowering. The cheese Naan was perfect in every way. My only negative feedback is that the portion of butter chicken I received was a bit small. I imagine th portions are bigger during dine in instead of take out. Definitely a great place to try if you live here or are visiting.

    Naan was super delicious. The Currys are spicy and tasty. Just wish they were more environmentally friendly. The dinnerware was plastic(forks and spoons) and Styrofoam(plates and cups). Those would be fine for to go orders. Not so much for dining in. Staff was really good about wanting to explain the food.

    Superb food and service, complimentary hot tea. You can happily dine on just appetizers and not feel bereft, or go big and order family-style entrees. Vast palette of flavors and vegetarian options. We'll be back.

    The staff was all so kind, attentive, and helpful! Seriously some of the best service ever. And the food was AMAZING, I could not believe how inexpensive it was for the portions we got. Unassuming from the outside, but some of the best food in OKC. Will definitely be back.
