Sheesh Mahal - Hartlepool

Fantastic food all freshly cooked. Open kitchen allows you to see your food being made to order. Would not go anywhere else.

Why do the staff argue with their diners? I was having an average meal with my family the table next to me made a complaint about the slow service, next thing an Indian lady comes over starts to argue with the table, I’m absolutely gobsmacked as they had a fair point, the service was very slow the food wasn’t the best, if it was a male worker I’m sure they would have been punched in the face, absolutely pathetic, once the table had left this lady started to apologise for the tables attitude, I could hold back said they where absolutely right, your service is very poor your attitude is disgraceful, I told her that my self my family will never come here again added that I would not tolerate any shouting back, at which point she walked away, thankfully, bizarre meal out, very unsettling, as though she couldn’t control herself.

Back to Sheesh after missing it for a couple of months and nothings changed, it's still great value high quality food with excellent service. Always have the mixed kebab starter which is delicious and boring old fart that I am I always have Chicken tikka Massala (because its fabulous and I love it) whilst the missus tried the chefs special chicken in minced meat this time and she mopped her plate up she tries different dishes each time we go and has never been dissapointed. Great customer service and the thurs sun specials are a real bargain poppadoms with dips, starter, main course, rice dish and glass of wine for less than £12 don't know how they do it but glad they do. I'm loving it

Our favourite Indian restaurant which we’ve now been coming to for the last few years and it’s never failed to satisfy. We get the Tapas deal which is £12.95 which is sensational value for money. You get a starter which consists of over 12 options , 2 curry dishes of your choice, rice and naan bread. The quality of the food is exquisite. The staff are friendly and polite everytime, we left feeling full and only spent £44 between 2 of us including drinks and poppadoms.

Once again an excellent meal. Can never fault the place the food, service and atmosphere is so good. If you're looking for an Indian restaurant this is the one
