We booked Sheba two months in advance to meet a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. We both love curry and regularly eat at curry houses all over the UK, from Leeds and Bradford to London and beyond, so we know what good food looks and tastes like. Unfortunately, this was nowhere near it.
The naan breads were shockingly small, around five inches in diameter and perfectly circular. They looked more like mini supermarket flatbreads than proper restaurant naan.
For mains, we ordered a garlic chilli chicken and a lamb naga. These are two completely different styles of curry and should taste very distinct. Instead, both sauces tasted almost identical. Same base, same flavour profile, just different meat dropped in. The meat in both dishes was cut into tiny pieces and did not taste great quality.
Starters were around £10 each. We had lamb chops and half a chicken. When they arrived, they were served on tiny little four or five inch plates that genuinely looked like IKEA side plates.
The half chicken was basically one chicken leg with zero tandoori flavour, just plain chicken with a bit of salad on the side. We had specifically asked for lots of chopped green chillies. Instead, the kitchen sent out about five whole green chillies, unchopped. What exactly are you meant to do with whole chillies on top of a plain chicken leg?
The lamb chops were dry and looked like they had been sitting around for a while. They were passable, but nothing special and certainly not worth the price.
To be fair, the pints of Kingfisher were good. Fresh, cold, clean taps and reasonably priced. Drinks were the only positive.
The total bill was over £100. We paid in full, including service charge, and did not send anything back because we were hungry, but it was a huge let down, especially given the booking and the occasion.
If you are heading to Brick Lane, I would strongly recommend Bengal Village instead. Sheba was a massive disappointment and I would not return.

I want to wipe my memories from eating this food, not exactly sure how there could be disappointing. Indian food in London, had the popular dishes. Had the menthi lamb which was mediocre at best but outshone the rest, with the tandoori chicken which was super dry, the mint sauce that didn’t resemble any kind of chutney I’ve ever seen on Earth, and the samosas which were like trader Joe’s air fried pieces, and the super sweet mango lassi. and the naan was old and dry too, super disappointing but service was decent nevertheless

I had an excellent experience at Sheba Restaurant on Brick Lane. They offer a wide selection of Pakistani, Indian, and Bengali dishes, and every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious.
The service was just as impressive – the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a great meal.
If you’re looking for a restaurant on Brick Lane that serves amazing South Asian food with top-notch service, I highly recommend Sheba Restaurant. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Don’t order from this place!! Disappointed doesn’t even cover it. Ordered delivery this evening (6/12) and it was honestly the worst curry I’ve had In my life. Lamb buhna (pictured) was just oil and water and a grey colour that doesn’t give me any confidence in its safety. The other curry The Lamb ladyfinger, the sauce in that had also completely split. The whole meal was completely inedible.

Came here for a party with 18 friends for a birthday. It was exceptionally well organised, with good communication throughout the booking process.
The food was very nice, and can be tailored according to the palate, and the waiting staff were excellent bearing in mind we were a large and demanding group with extremely liberal demands for drinks!
I would definitely recommend it.

Honestly not great.
When ordering food we were asking for apna style and the waiters pen wasn’t even moving
We asked for 1/4 chicken spicy starter desi style and extra chillies. They didn’t really do it. Just brought whole chillies on a plate. That’s not what we meant.
Starters were bad. Quarter chicken was tiny and no flavour. Lamb wasn’t good either. Said sizzling but nothing was sizzling.
Naans were really small and cut up into four bits to look bigger.
Two curries ordered that were meant to be different. Tasted basically the same. One was meant to have Naga flavour but couldn’t really tell.
At the end they asked for feedback. We told them what we thought. Felt awkward after, like they thought we wouldn’t pay. But we paid everything including service. We didn’t send food back because we were hungry.
Not the worst meal ever. But nowhere near what they claim.

10/10 service. Muhzin our waiter he is super attentive and accommodating pulling the table out for me to sit, clearing the table and resetting after each course and making sure I got everything as promptly as possible. The food was super flavorful and just the right spice level. Very generous portions and high quality. Amazing Indian Currys, food, thanks for everything!

3rd time here and was not disappointed. The king prawns were cleaned, cooked tastily and FRESH. We loved the lamb briyani, ample portions, even brought our friends here. Pappadam was amazing. Traditional bangla fish curry was great too. Would highly recommend and in my opinion presents better overall value than Dishoom.

I had an amazing meal at Sheba Restaurant. The mixed grill was incredible tender, juicy, and full of smoky, perfectly balanced spices. Every piece of meat, from chicken to lamb, was cooked to perfection. The lamb shank was another highlight slow-cooked, rich, and full of flavour, falling off the bone with every bite.
The food tastes authentic and fresh, and the portions are generous. On top of that, Saiful and Naeem provided excellent service, friendly and attentive throughout the meal.
For anyone visiting Brick Lane looking for real Indian and Bangladeshi flavours, Sheba’s mixed grill and lamb shank are must-tries. I’ll definitely be returning

Very robust and fresh flavours in every dish we had. They balance the spices so well that they really add more dimensions to the flavours. The sizzling prawn dish and the lamb biryani are the super stars. Service was very efficient and friendly. The bonus point is that the place is well air conditioned so it’s perfect on a hot day.
