All these wonderful reviews here seem fake to say the least. The food, service, atmosphere etc nothing live up to expectation. Definitely try elsewhere.

Sheba has a menu that caters for everyone. The dishes were delicious especially the Shofri Ghost (pumpkin with meat) and Lamb Chop Korai. The service is good and its one of the better restaurants in Brick Lane. Worth a visit!

Out of all the restaurants in bricklane, i would must defiantly recommend that sheba was infact the one that cought my eyes & i can proudly say i had the most amazing time there, my parents had organised this night out with me and a bunch of close friends and relatives as just a usual night out. We had the most amaziiing time, the staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was just brill.
Sheba's Special Murg Masala was sperb. I would defo go back for another meal soon and i think everyone else should give it a try

There's lots of curry houses in brick-lane, but I've got say SHEBA was the best one I have been in. Came across Sheba with a few mates as it was my second wedding anniversary. Loved the curry, especially the Chicken Xacuti and Sheba's Special Murg Masala; the Lamb Lucknow(THE SHANK) was delicious too. Would definitely go back, wife goes crazy for Sheba. 100% recommended to evryone.

I had wonderful experience at Sheba Restaurant , Brick Lane ; the range of specials I was given truly made my day . I Just didn’t know which special to have. But before the specials I started with a divine appetiser, King butterfly prawn it was called; a nice big prawn sprinkled with bread crumbs . This was followed by a magnificent Biriyani and I am big o f biriyani. So I ordered my favourite one Chicken Tikka Biriyani which truly enlightened my day . The curry I selected with joy was the lamb curry all the spices were just evenly matched , perfect with the whitest of rice
That glowed like snow . it was only to be the chefs special rice. For the sides I had plain Naan with and cheese Naan that made my taste buds jump with excitement . For liquids I jus had the still water and coke even though they had massive range of alcohol, for desert I had Chocolate Mousse. Which just melted down everything into place. For the people who had trouble with the restaurant . all restaurants make mistakes if let down a restaurant like this it is your loss ,

At the end of it I would say it was utterly brilliant and I would come again with friends.

Booked a table for 6 people at Sheba, the food was fresh and full of flavour. The chicken shashlik was the best I ever had so flavoursome and such a big portion. We ordered a variation of curries which all of us shared. The service was great and atmosphere buzzing. A great curry house for curry fanatics.

Excellent food with a great vegetarian option for me. The Tandoori Veg Masala was delicious, Garlic mushrooms and onion bhajis as starters was full of flavour. Nice size portions and good service made Sheba well worth it.

For those who like genuinely good indo/bangla food Sheba stands out as one of the best in Brick Lane. The food is amazing especially the seafood and vegetarian options. Nice atmosphere, good service and value for money made Sheba a good choice for a night out. Well worth the visit.

Sheba is relaxing place to eat, the staffs are approacable and polite. I took 2 of my friend with me to eat out at Sheba they recommanded Sheba food is very tasteful and leave mouth full of watering with unique flavors
The Restaurant are very presentable and booked table is always available. Waiters beam at you while you are eating . So why not experience it worth of money and joy.

This place is life-less. The atmosphere is dull. Food was ok at best but nothing special like mentioned on these reviews. Waiters glare at you while you are eating. Having check some of the reviews here again it seems these are fakes!! Apparently the same person named rocky below visited the restaurant 3 different times and has written 3 different reviews! sheer disgust.

We booked a table for four people on Sunday it was really busy but they saved our table. The food was really delicious with some unique dishes such as Bengal lobster and king prawn coriander. Service was good and it was well worth the money spent.

Brick Lane is hit and miss but Sheba as always delivers some of the best dishes in the Lane. Service is very warm and genuine and value is excellent. Its definitely the place to go for a real curry in London.

A terrible Indian restaurant. Had a mixed platter starter, featuring a postage stamp-sized samosa, spring roll and kebab, and also a wing from the world's smallest chicken. Main courses similarly small, very oily and generally not very nice, chewy and very cold, we left plenty which is unusual. Also service very slow apart from when it was time to pay the bill. Will not be going back Appalling attitude!

One of the best curry house in London for its mixed grill and Bengali seafood dishes. I am a lover of spice and hot food and Sheba has amazing curries the Lobster was great, and Chicken chilli was lovely well spiced and hot. Samosas were perfect and onion bhajis delicious.

Great food, great service, a joyful atmosphere and costs a fraction of what you will pay at other eateries in London Sheba turned out to be a gem. Worth a visit simply because Brick Lane is the best place for an Indian and a fun night out!

One of the best Indian restaurants in London for the tastiest curries. The service was friendly and atmosphere was nice. We booked on a Tuesday for 8 people and everyone was happy and stuffed due to the large portions of food. Good value, excellent menu offering weird and wonderful dishes, worth a try if you love your food!

Absolutely loved the chicken chilli tikka and garlic chicken which was served in a bed of fluffy basmati rice. The keema nan was lovely and perhaps they do the best onion bhajis in London because it was perfect. Sheba is worth a try for their delicious food and charming service.

Had lunch this afternoon here.

The competition around this area is ridiculously crazy. There are tons of guys outside asking if you want to come in. They're just badgering you to come into their restaurants.

I was pleasantly surprised about Sheba, though. It was one of the few restaurants that had a nice vibe to it. No-one standing outside asking you to come in and eat.

The quality of the food was great. I learned that it takes a lot of time and spices to cook the things they do. Especially the curry. It was very "fresh" so to speak.

In the end, the places that don't badger you to come in is worth a try. They're modest and hard working.

Food was average at best but restaurant is full of lies and deception. Having promised a deal at the door and then refused that deal after dining it wasn't the nicest of feelings. What made it worse was the approach of waiters and the conversation that followed. Waiters hadn't a clue what they were talking about and the body posture and hand gesture made us feel intimidated and threatened. Avoid this restaurant.

The food was amazing at Sheba and one of the best in Brick Lane for a real indian curry. The waiters were very helpful and explained the menu well. They have a very extensive wine list. Its worth a visit if you are looking to dine out at a restaurant who wont rush you out after your meal.

One of the many solid curries I've had on Brick Lane. Def go if you have the Viewlondon card but they may not let you byo with it. And make sure you get the right percentage off (they tried to give me 25%when it should have been 50%)-lamb Lucknow - Worth coming here just for this. Falls of the bone and oh so tasty.-chicken Tikka Masala - Good, but not the best I've had.

Absolutely nothing special about this restaurant like otherwise claimed. Food is very average. In fact i have had better curry at other restaurants on brick lane. Having booked the venue for a special get-together it really disappointed. Crowded and crammed it seemed. Food came out luke warm and were sent back to be reheated. Drinks took forever to reach the tables. A compulsory service charge of 12.5% is charged to the already high menu prices. It seemed to us that the price charged for an average curry was higher then the average curry price in a posh 5 star hotel! The table next to ours were complaining to the waiter that their bill was wrong as they had 50% discount but the waiter replied 'the discount has already been applied'. The extortionate price explained the 50% discount.

We booked a table for 8 on Thursday at Sheba and arrived promptly to be seated by the waiter. The atmosphere was buzzing with a mix of young and old crowd. The service was really good as the manager explained and recommended dishes from the menu. The extensive menu had some weird and wonderful dishes. I went for the lobster which was amazing, and the lamb shank was soft and tender in a lovely sauce. The starters of King Prawn Puri and Mixed kebabs were sublime. All in all Our crowd were really happy with the food and service and thoroughly enjoyed our night.

Its a hard choice choosing restaurants in Brick Lane, but Sheba seemed charming enough for us to go in. General rule of thumb in Brick Lane is not to go in a restaurant that has people outside giving you ridiculous offers. Sheba along with few others does not need them touts. The food was great, and service was good. Its worth a try if you're in Brick Lane.

We went to Sheba with 50% off deal. We were not allowed to take our own drinks with this deal so decided to have our drinks at the venue. The price of an average beer was twice that one would pay in a West End bar! it was astonishing. The food at best was medicure. Having dined at other venues on Brick Lane I reckon this one falls really behind both in-terms of quality and value.

We had gone to dine at Sheba with 50% off deal only to realise that the average price was way above standard and the final bill with 12.5% compulsory service charge meant we actually paid more then we usually pay on an average night out in Brick Lane. The cost of Alcohol was also rocket high. All this probably explains how they afford to offer 50% off deals. The food was average nothing spectacular as one can imagine from other reviews. Having dined in other restaurants in Brick Lane I really think others have better to offer and this assumption was shared by all members of my group who dined with me at Sheba.

With so many Indian restaurants on Brick Lane it is really tricky to know which to choose from but I can absolutely recommend Sheba as one of the best! I have visited a few restaurants on Brick Lane and the service and food on offer at Sheba surpasses them all! I chose Sheba mostly because I felt I could check the menu outside without being pressurised to go inside – I find that really off putting! For my main meal I had a Chicken Tikka which was good but my partner had the Tandoori King prawns – which I have to admit I stole most of because they were delicious!
