Food was very nice & staff were very friendly. The restaurant was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the choice of music. Too full to fit in a dessert

Food was excellent as always but our evening was spoilt a little by an over eager waiter who cleared away not only the dishes we were finished with but also the ones we weren’t finished with, leaving us feeling we were being rushed away even though we had only been in for forty minutes

The restaurant was very quite when we visited, the staff were very attentive sometimes over attentive. The food was good but not outstanding . Nothing to entice us back.

Really trying hard to be too helpful, which resulted by 5 different waiters asked the same questions?? If that makes sense. Food good but l've had better. Worth going, but will try a different restaurant next time we are in Edinburgh

Decent if a bit slow, I ended up leaving no tip as the waiter could not add to the card machine???? Food was well cooked and well presented although they couldn’t do lamb as one of the tandoor overs was broken

The food here is amazing, by far the best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh! Would definitely recommend to others. Been going to Shezan for 3 years and have never had a bad meal. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff, attentive without being overbearing, food was tasty and very nicely presented. We had a Chicken Ceylonese curry and a Chicken Tawa which we both thoroughly enjoyed, the Peshwari naan wasn’t the best we’ve had, but other plain nans going past looked fab! Wish we’d gone with a plain but all in all it was very nice

Fantastic meal, fantastic service. What a gem of a place. Booked a table here for a pre theatre meal and can only say I'm glad I did. It was so good we are already planning our return visit. I would gladly give Shezan a score of 10 if I could but they still get maximum points from my husband & I. Try it out! The food is excellent. You won't be disappointed.

2nd visit to Shezan. Service is very good and the food is lovely. Good choice and reasonable prices. Our nan wasn't as hot as we would like and when we told the staff it was replaced within a few mins, no bother at all. Would recommend and visit again.

Went to Shezan on a busy Saturday evening having booked a table for 2. Nice pakora to start followed by a prawn balti which was tasty without being hot and had loads of very good sized prawns. Other half had the king prawn ceylonese curry which was hotter and an interesting change from the usual curry house fare. A masala nan which was huge and nice but not much differently flavoured from an ordinary nan and some pilau rice followed. The portion of pilau rice was small but the size of the nan more than compensated for this. The waiters were whizzing about and our drinks order didn't go through, luckily our waiter realised this and sent it in again although we still needed to wait quite a while for this to arrive. We asked for tap water too and again it didn't appear till we asked again. The service at Shezan is unpredictable, decor basic but the food is good enough to make we want to go again.

Terrific friendly customer service and attentive throughout. Sparkling clean restaurant. Beautifully balanced flavours in well presented dishes, Ceylonese curry absolutely delicious, light and crisp naans belying their large size. Have been several times and will do so again.

Friendly reception. Efficient and pleasant staff. Delicious, tasty and hot food. Reasonably priced and well presented. Not so keen on the open plan layout as I still like the old style individual booth concept, but obviously this way gets more bums on seats.
