Shish Mahal is a family run Indian restaurant at 60-68 Park Road in Glasgow’s West End. Established in 1964, it has welcomed generations of diners and occupies an important place in the city’s curry house history. The restaurant is particularly associated with founder Ali Ahmed Aslam and the creation of chicken tikka masala.
Tandoori cooking provides smoky chicken, lamb and seafood dishes, while the curry menu travels from mild, creamy sauces to the deeper heat of Madras and other regional styles. Chicken tikka masala remains the best known signature, but bhoona, biryani and chef’s specialities offer a much wider view of the kitchen. Rice and freshly baked breads complete the main dishes.
Vegetable curries, lentils, paneer and other meat free choices give vegetarian diners a substantial selection. Sharing starters and mixed grills are well suited to groups who want to explore several flavours. Guests with allergies should consult the current menu and speak with staff because many dishes use dairy, nuts and other common allergens.
Beer, wine, spirits and alcohol free drinks support both casual dinners and celebrations. The service remains rooted in the generosity and familiarity of a longstanding family business. Shish Mahal offers classic Glasgow curry house dining with a history that extends well beyond its most famous dish.
