What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ishaas Indian Eatery offers a contemporary dining experience with authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine, praised for its attentive service and pleasant ambiance. While many guests rave about the delicious flavors and professional staff, some reviews express disappointment with the authenticity of the cuisine and occasionally mention issues with service, such as slow responses or language barriers.
"Welcomed by staff and they were really attentive throughout. The food was amazing, chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was melt in your mouth delicious. I I would definitely recommend this Indian restaurant."
Peter McDonnell
"We were warmly welcomed, especially as Arab and Gulf visitors, and appreciated the hospitality at the entrance. However, the food was extremely disappointing. This restaurant does not serve authentic Indian cuisine. The dishes lacked salt, spices, and any real flavor. It was clear the chef had no proper knowledge of Indian cooking.
To make things worse, the spoon provided was dirty, and even after requesting a clean one, the issue wasn’t addressed. Surprisingly, the staff even asked us to hand them the plates, spoons, and other items from the table, as if we were part of the service team.
While the reception was pleasant, the food quality shocked us. I truly wish I had believed the previous one-star reviews. They were absolutely accurate. I do not recommend dining here"
Khaled Bin Salem
"Straight away PATHETIC. Absolutely worse service. The waiters here neither have any knowledge of Indian food nor they have any manners or basic hospitality sense. Highly recommend to avoid this place. Fasting would be preferred than eating in here."
