Shahhi Mahal - Thionville

THE worst food I’ve had for a considerable amount of time! How they can serve food like that and still be in business is beyond me, do yourself a favour and stay clear.

I have no words to describe how bad this place is. We ordered a paratha , samosas to share and three curry’s. The paratha was rock hard and over cooked, the samosas never came. , the food that did come was wrong but we accepted it. Quality of food was absolutely rubbish I mean the most appalling Asian food I have ever had. We complained to the waiter and asked for the manager. He didn’t want to come to the table so I approached him. He wasn’t interested, he started shouting that we hadn’t ordered a starter and it was him that took the order. He asked for full money or he call the police. We paid and left. On another note, the toilet door was nextgto our table. Toilets were disgusting, I doubt they have been cleaned for a long time. I have but a few pictures on but out of decency I haven’t put the disgusting ones on. Use your imagination and double it. Appalling.

The food was not really Indian but more Pakistani despite huge Taj Mahal murals decorating the walls. The onion bhaji, naan and samosas came rushed, before we even finished our aperitifs. Take-out clients came in and out throughout our „dining experience“. It seems like the rice, curries and breads are all prepared beforehand so that all they need to do is throw in whatever meat of fish is ordered and then send it out. The sauces are all heavy cream based so they only need to add corresponding amounts of chili pepper to go with the level of heat that was ordered. There is really no difference between vindaloo or korma. The service was not friendly and clients are expected to eat their main course from their first course plates. The worst part of it all is that you can’t expect the bill to be brought to your table. You have to go up to the bar and pay before you see the bill! I don’t even think this can be legal in Europe, but the owner arrogantly refused to show the bill before the total was paid by credit card! Give this place a miss!

In all well-loved dishes ordered, the frame is beautiful lack a little finish. The staff is in small care, very small but warm restaurant

First time in a Pakistani restaurant for us. We chose on the basis of the server advice. No regret, it was great! We will return with pleasure, thank you
