Shezan

First time visit to this restaurant and certainly won’t be the last. Food was lovely and service first class from the staff. Made to feel very welcome. My wife and I will be recommending Shezan to anyone and everyone. Fantastic food.

The staff were absolutely terrific, friendly and helpful and the food was sublime - definitely recommend to anyone who wants an authentic Indian meal from a family run business

Lovely tasty food as always. The naan breads are huge! Service had improved greatly since we were last there too - very attentive. Thanks again!

Great food and staff helpful. As it was busy, had to ask a few times for water, cutlery but we had a good tolime. Rugby weekend. Nan’s are huge. Be warned.

Freshly made food and excellent service. Welcome by the owner made the experience personal and interesting. Location opposite the Playhouse made the occasion even better

A very good experience. Food was well priced, particularly for Edinburgh, piping hot and fresh too. Service also very friendly. Would recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Fantastic service from Rehman and very tasty food . I asked for a vegetarian version of a sizzle platter and they kindly did it for me!

Delicious food and great drinks. Love it. We will be back!

Food was amazing and staff were very friendly and professional. The Restaurant was very clean and spacious and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great restaurant...lovely meal...clean and modern...lovely friendly staff..great choice selection..very close to Playhouse..would definitely use again very reasonably Prices and did not feel rushed to return table.

great food prompt service and pleasant and helpful staff could not fault them. good choice of dishes pre theatre dinner finished ontime for us to go.

Modern Indian restaurant conveniently located for theatre and city centre hotels. Good food and service from friendly staff. Portions are more than adequate and reasonably priced.

I am never disappointed by a meal at Shezan. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting.

We found the service to be excellent and the chicken bhuna and chicken chassis were both delicious. Overall it was a very positive experience and we would thoroughly recommend this place.

Excellent service from very efficient and friendly staff. Busy Thursday night but we were served quickly and the food for four was first class as was the prices. Not our first visit and won't be our last.

Excellent service from Rahim and his colleagues. The food was superb too. A little expensive to what we would normally pay, but we were dining in the city centre. Overall - Top notch. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent location for theatre. Very friendly and swift service. Really enjoyed the meal. Good value for money. Only issue was that we were told coffee would take 15 minutes to serve at the end of the meal. We didn't wait as we needed to go to the theatre.

Table waiting for excellent food waiters tend to hover around and gave impression that they were wanting us to hurry our meal as there were people waiting to be seated.otherwise a very pleasant experienc.

The food was nice. Portions were small and meat content in particular was meager. Given the price didn’t reflect that, we felt cheated on either price or the amount served. Sides and the pickle tray were way too expensive again. This is a bit of a con, because in my experience these are often either free of charge or cheap but here, they’re offered as soon as you sit down, before a menu is presented. Biggest problem with our side of aloo saag was it arrived after we’d finished our mains! Service was friendly though and the guys all smiled and tried to help. We felt very rushed from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, even with being offered more time to decide on our order. There was obviously an urgency to turn the table around which, even on a Friday night seemed inappropriate amd off putting. We also had 5 different people serving us and so didn’t build even a modicum of rapport. That may have helped the overall exlerience because, individually, the staff were nice enough. In summary; Tasty food. Expensive drinks. Not great value for money. Rushed but friendly service. Won’t hurry back but I wouldn’t avoid completely if someone else chooses it for us in the future.

Excellent service and food.A few years since we have been but just as good as we remembered.Would definitely recommend a visit for anyone who enjoys authentic Indian food.

We ordered a variety of dishes with the help of the waiter and all were delicious. Especially enjoyed the chicken dishes and veggie biryani. The garlic naan was also very good.

Excellent food and great noisy atmosphere. Friendly staff who were more than willing to help. One downside was particularly slow service - no starter but main took 1.5 hours!

Attentive service. Huge naan. Top quality pickle tray. Great curry. Waiters were very nice and friendly. We were told that we couldn’t have the pickle tray as they’d run out but the chef went out of his way to make fresh for us.

Terrible table in front of kitchen entrance very narrow walkway very busy.Food was of a reasonable standard but not great.would not rush to return as there are some very good restaurants close by.

Quality food and service was amazing been twice now never disappointed with the restaurant and the place and the location is good to as well

Shezan is one of the best Indian restaurants in Edinburgh.Always busy,always welcoming. We tend to favour Shezan because it consistently serves delicious food at reasonable prices.

Slow service, food just short of dreadful and they got bill up to way more than I was expecting. Have eaten at this restaurant before and it was fine, however not on this occasion and never again , avoid.

Great food and a good choice right in the centre of Edinburgh. I have just returned from India and Sri Lanka and took me back to my holiday!

Been going to the Shezan since it opened. Still very good. Food lovely. With the current décor very noisy when restaurant busy. Excellent Peshwari Naans!

Food far too salty left whole main meal when tried to tell waiter he completely ignored. Us didn't even answer asked for bill ignored again so went to different waiter complete joke of a place Food definitely not worth £70

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Arguably the tastiest curry I've ever had. Highly recommended. The North Indian Chilli was incredible, and make sure you get a Naan to share, they're enormous!

Great food, a nice light touch to breads and pakora, delicious Ceylonese curry. Good attentive and friendly service from Raz and others. Just the right atmosphere. Will continue to come back.

food fresh and tasty, no problems with service and the staff were all friendly. The restaurant is in an excellent position across from the playhouse. I've visited this restaurant twice and both times I've left very happy.

Very tasty, fresh food served by attentive staff and ideal location if it's a pre-theatre meal. Only our 2nd visit but will certainly go back again

Welcoming staff. Great portion sizes. Good piping hot food and garlic nans are huge. By far my favourite Indian restaurant. Pre theatre meal is definately worth the money

Good food and service. The karahi dishes were very spicy and beware the size of the nan bread! They are more than enough for two people to share.

Food was great. Waiters very attentive. Venue pleasing. The only 'negative' is that we found it a bit stressful to have so many waiters keeping an eye on our every move. I think we had 5 different waiters from beginning to end.

Pleasant clean and spacious environment. Waiters were attentive and made a curry to suit the taste of one of the diners. Food was really tasty and fulfilling. This is the third time I've eaten here and never been disappointed.

Okay.. Service could have been better. Bit rushed to make choices of drinks and food and also when eating meal. Always visit when in Edinburgh but maybe consider elsewhere next visit.

Fabulous night. Lovely staff, extremely attentive and friendly. Special shout out to Raz who looked after us. Bright airy restaurant across the road from the playhouse which was great. The food was excellent. Great choice catering for all tastes. Highly recommended 5☆

Food all tasty. Felt there was a lack of communication between the staff as we were asked the same question by different staff members several times during our short stay. Didn't feel they were very friendly either. Felt a bit rushed too.

We enjoyed great food and good attentive service, even though the restaurant was very busy that evening. It's been many years since I ate here but would definitely come back and would recommend.

Was asked three times after being seated what was our order when were we going to order without being given menus, the waiter suggested we take a side dish which never came, nearly three hours for a two course meal, bad experience only the food saved this review from being lower.

This was one of the best Indian meals we have ever had, I have eaten curry, from Plymouth to Fort William over 30 years, very flavoursome' yet subtle.

We had a pleasant evening at Shezan, we booked before going to see a show at the Playhouse. The food itself was amazing and excellent value for money. However it was extremely busy (given the fact a show was on). The door was open for large periods of time while people queued and this made the restaurant very cold. It was also extremely noisy. We don't mind waiting to get our food as we know it's being cooked! However the table next to us waiting an extremely long time.

Food is simply superb! However - on a not too busy evening - the service was a wee bit slow. Still our favourite Indian restaurant!

Great food and friendly service. Chicken Tikka was beautiful. We've been going to the Shezan for quite a few years now and we've never had a bad meal

We enjoyed our meal a great welcome good selection on their menu.Also prices very good also the wine list had a good selection.Glad we booked as people were been told they wood have to wait up to an hour wood go back.

Appalling service, extremely rude waiter, errors with our order, waited 1 hour 20 minutes for our food. Won't return, which is such a shame as the food is nice but with such awful service and an appalling attitude from the waiter it doesn't matter how good the food is when we left feeling angry at the way we have been spoken to and no apology.

Food was excellent but the service was very intrusive we were asked on at least twenty occasions if the food was all right or if we needed more drinks.Consequently we would not return even though the food was authentic and very tasty
