We visited on a Wednesday night. Group of 3 for our dinner. We were for the majority of our seating the only guests present. Food ordered and the first course of poppadom and pickles. These were well received and did not last very long.Main courses were quick to be turned around. Each was consumed as expected and wiped up with the naan.We skipped dessert, opting for Luca's across the street.Atmosphere wise. We were the only guests. This made the space a little odd, but we made do with it and continued as required.Parking: Parking, but unsure whether it's free at all times.

Amazing food at a decent price. Well worth

Can't comment on atmosphere, we ordered a take-away. The prices have rocketed. Understandable with increases in the cost of products. However, the curry was 'ok'. The poppadoms were inedible. They were stale. They were so off they could be folded without breaking. At a pound each it shouldn't be to hard to cook fresh even with rising food costs.The service was awful. The online said it would take an hour. An hour in and it was tracking as still cooking. After 1hr 10 mins I called. I got a 'its on its way' phone down. The person barely registered the address I said before putting the phone down. Being pleasant costs nothing.We have been customers of shish mahal for over 20 years. I dont know what has happened to it but it looks like new ownership has ruined it. The owners before has so much pride in it and were so polite. We will be ordering elsewhere in future.This was a Thursday evening. Not a busy time.

We ordered a carry out for 4 people tonight over the phone for collection. Definitely the best Indian food I've had so far in East Lothian & I'd definitely go back again. Generous portions, absolutely delicious & ready for pickup when we arrived. Happy to recommend.

I would not recommend it for Asian people as we ordered some and we got something different. It seems like a random guy in kitchen mixing everything together and sends out to serve. Apart from chapati nothing looked, smelled or tasted asian. We ordered Lahori karahi and got it with lots of vegetables in it. Who does that with Karahi bro? Kisi desi ko recommend nahi karta bhai Velayati khaa rehe hain to khane do, unhoon ne konsa sahi wala khaya hai? Chapti mast the

This is without a doubt the best Indian in Scotland, I've lived here 5 years and this has been my absolute gem many times, food never disappoints, delivery service is fantastic and always on time with a smile, you cannot beat this place.Ignore the absolute wet wipes leaving low star reviews, theyve got the culinary taste buds of a bulldog with covid, this place is top tier and is a must have if in Musselburgh.

Over 30 years of experience.When looking for a great Indian restaurant give these guys a try.

Charged more than menu prices, i understand if prices have gone up but if your menu online and in person menus don't reflect this then you cant charge extra verbally. Assis. Manager apologised after i spoke to him but it really just ruined the whole experience. Dissapointed because i did enjoy the peshwari naan.

Not good food. Barely edible curry and expensive. The place was empty and for good reason. Naan bread double the price of other restaurants.my trip advice is to dodge this place as the curry tastes like it came from an uncle bens jar. Not good food.should have went elsewhere.

Great carry out tonight, meal hot and lovely. Chicken buna, very good indeed. Come here often, never disappointed.
