Sheba, Brick Lane

Saturday 6th August 2011

 

After suffering another Palace away ‘performance’, a few of us headed over to Brick Lane to try out this well known restaurant.
The highlight was their ‘Bollywood Blast’;  "Lamb cut in small pieces then cooked in chef’s own special sauce with GREEN CHILLI,  MEXICAN CHILLI,  NAGA CHILLI,  AFRICAN CHILLI, spring onion and red kidney bean"

4 kinds of chilli including Naga - it was faaacking hot!!!!!

SCORE:

MENU - Some great new dishes as well as traditional favourites                         8/10

HEAT – Seriously seriously hot. Seriously.                                                              10/10

SURROUNDINGS – Modern but not too poncy                                                         8/10

SPEED – They don’t leave you starving                                                                   8/10

WAITERS – Always there if you need them but don’t hover                                   8/10

BEER – Cobra, bottled and on tap. What else do you want?!                                7/10

PRICE – worked out at about £27 each with tip                                                        7.5/10

DOWN-TO-EARTH? – Yeah, you could roll in half-cut no problem.                       7/10

LATE SERVING? – We went early but they are open ‘til midnight                        7.5/10

EXTRA'S? – Complimentary ½ pint of Cobra was a nice touch                            8/10

Definitely recommended.
