Dining experience at Restaurant Shilam






Essential things about a restaurant is always about the ambience, food, service , customers and price....Some people might have different ideas as to which one is of the most important elements, but for me, it's always the food....

I recently visited the Restaurant Shilam which served Indian food as well like Spice of Bengals in my previous post, but what really stands out one restaurant with another is those elements I mentioned...My first visit to Shilam was trying for their afternoon all-day buffet for GBP5.95 with a limited selection of curry with rice and naan bread. It was a pleasing experience as the price goes well with the quality of food and service....

This time, I went to the restaurant with friends for it's dinner, my personal have to be the lamb specialty which the waiter told us that the cooking style is out of menu.... I will said it as Chef Specialty then.... The curry is one of the finest I have ever tasted in UK so far, and different dishes provide us with different taste of indian spices....Compliment to the chef...

About service, the waiter is polite and better in conversation and had no problem understanding our orders.. By recommending something off menu is a brave move by a waiter because he will not be sure whether the customers will like his choices or not...Yet confidence at their own chef make it a pleasant surprise for the customers with different taste...

However, one small problems to be overcome is that the skill of cooking proper Naan...
The cheese and onion naan taste good, but it's just too hard to bite and some of us to swallowed it...

Food 7/10 , currys are good, just that improvement needed on Naan bread...
Service 7/10 bold move by the waiter to suggest something off menu, and efficient in serving us...
