Shezan (Broughton)

• The food is a little bland and was very disappointing
• I had the special chicken Karachi which was so bad that I ended up leaving it
• I had also ordered a Lamb Biryani which was an even bigger disappointment
• The Biryani was served in a massive bowl which was more than half empty
• The servers were very friendly and the decor is kind of hip
• I went into Shezan on a Saturday night for dinner with a friend and it was a great experience
• Even though it was a Saturday and very busy the staff were very friendly and attentive whilst serving our dishes very quickly
• Lamb kebab and poppadums along with a range of sauces
• The chicken pakora was very tasty and the poppadum with the mango chutney was also nice
• I also had it with pilau rice and peshwari nan bread
• My friend went for the Royal Biryani which was a mix of chicken
• Overall it was a great experience and for a pretty reasonable price
• The Shezan rice was really filling as it had all sorts of vegetables but my favourite thing
• We filled our tummy with the papadums though I love spiced onions
• Judging by how much food was left they didn't enjoy
• It was tasty but then again they are both near enough curry experts
• Especially Tawa Chk with Masala Naan
• I'm so surprised with the negative reviews and low ratings on zomato
• Shezan is a beautiful restaurant with gorgeous decor (minus the enormous pictures of Bollywood actresses on the wall)
• The waiter was polite and made sure we got a table within the next 10 minutes
• Everything was delicious and satisfying
• Except the butter chicken which was slightly tasteless for what butter chicken normally stands by
• The ambiance of the place is decent except the part where they have actresses pictures on the wall
• I made a reservation as it was the day of Diwali but the restaurant wasn't crowded at all
• They served us with the food within 15 mins of the order
• Korma was the best and ofcourse the biryani
• Paapadum was crisp and the sauce they served was really good
• Apparently this a award wining 'curry house' in Edinburg and all I can say is that the Edinburg curry market could do with a little more competition
• The servers are good (but when we had a small conversation with our server
• We could see that he was later shouted at by the manager for wasting time)
• We has also ordered the tarka dal which our server informed us was not yellow dal as its supposed to be
• Not cooked properly so the spices were raw and left a bad aftertaste
• It was served with rice but we were barely able to eat it since it was too dry to be mixed properly
• Also one serving of dal and rice will not be enough for one person since the rice serving is very small
• We had ordered a Naan with the chicken and that was huge
• While calling for the cheque the manager asked about the food and I mentioned that the dal was terrible and I hardly ate it
• Mind you it was he who asked first
• Post my feedback he said they take feedback very seriously and in his 35years of service this is the first time anyone ever complained about the dal
• I have been eating dal all my life too and can say with authority as a home cook too that this was the worst daal I had ever had
• Asked the manager what we had and then basically just said that this is authentic punjabi cuisine and walked away
• I'm not sure how this was taking feedback seriously
• What was the point of looking at my bill value and his intention was just to have us leave by then
• I'm assuming all he thought was another Indians trying to grab free food
• A five pound bottle of water is a little much especially when it could be spent better
• This was when I asked for regular water but he said this is what I asked for and opened the bottle before I could reply just wanting to add to the bill amount
• Definitely don't go here if you're indian coz apparently no one is more racist than an outsider trying to show that he belongs)
• I am from INDIA and we were in Scotland for 4 days in March 2017
• Food in Shenaz is perfect and authentic Indian style
• Perfectly prepared with Indian spice and juicy masala gravy
• This was the first time we feel like we are eating in INDIA during our 15 days of UK tour
• In short this is the best Indian restaurant among all nearby Indian restaurant
• Bit expensive and service was prompt but not warm
• I'm smiling as I write this because I looked and my last review was for Tandoori Mixed Grill and guess what
• I asked for a hotter sauce than usual with mine and they happily made me an excellent vindaloo sauce
• This is the fifth time I've left a review and I keep doing it because they really are a great place for an Indian meal
• Last time our waiter was Deva who looked after us really well
