Well known in Leeds for their excellent repertoire of Asian cuisine are the Sheesh Mahal restaurants which offer top quality Indian and Pakistani food to their increasing base of patrons, which includes some famous celebrities too. Everything is prepared from fresh ingredients, and the taste is remarkable, only one of the reasons why they are so popular. The setting is that of a typical curry house with the comfort level being high and there's very little that comes in the way of your enjoyment.

Choose from starters such as palak fish roll, a puri wrapped around haddock, spinach, onions and spices and move on to some of their specials such as gosht muttar garlic, lamb with peas, cooked with baby garlic cloves lightly pickled with black pepper, capsicums, tomatoes and coriander. There's the usual list of favourites which range from dopiaza, korma, dhansak and jalfrezi along with a good selection of balti and bhuna dishes.
