When you open the menu at Shezan, one can find a newspaper article from "La Lanterne" dated…read more11/10/1991 with the title: "Shezan, le pakistanais bon et pas cher" (Shezan, the pakistani restaurant good and inexpensive). I think more than 20 years later, that article is still quite accurate. Shezan is together with Mumtaz (which are both very close to each other) my two favorite Indian food restaurants (so far) in Brussels. The menu at Shezan is quite ample and I believe has a mix of Indian and Pakistani specialties. The service is always great: knowledgeable, always smiling, caring but not pushy. Prices are excellent: in my opinion the best value you can get. The food is excellent. Some dishes are better accomplished than others (which I think is quite normal when the menu is so big) but in general the quality is always there. Consistent good food, this is one of the things I like the most about Shezan. The restaurant decoration is quite simple. The atmosphere is not romantic and I would say that is rather perfect for groups of friends or couples that one day feel not really cooking at home. Pets are welcome (even big dogs). The restaurant lights are very bright (to my taste). Do not hesitate to try Shezan. I vividly recommend it.

Mumtaz restaurant in Brussels has been around since 1980s. My parents wanted to try one Desi…read morerestaurant in Brussels and I had done my research on this one. The ambience is cute with dim lighting and music. They start the table off with some papadum that is thin and crisp like a round big chip plus some chutney and sauces to dip it with. In ordering it was a task because of my parents. They are funny and they generally do not like chicken, instead like beef and fish. So I made sure to order beef seekh kabobs, plus mixed grills and saag paneer(spinach with cheese). We got our food but the beef kabob looked like chicken but in the dim lighting I wasn't sure, so I asked the server. They confirmed no it's beef. Then we tired it and we know how chicken tastes like. So then flagged down the server again and he got embarrassed and said they ran out of beef. I wish they were upfront about it from the beginning. They could have handled this situation better. At the end they were apologetic. But surprisingly my parents liked the chicken option and overall the food was really good. The naans were freshly made and great as well. The two servers at the end spoke to my parents about some authentic food variety etc. After the beef hiccup episode, this was a good experience. I would give them another try when visiting this city. It's always good to dine at the restaurant multiple times to get a feel for it.~

This particular neighborhood of Brussels has tons and tons of food options so if we didn't get a table the options are unlimited. Mumtaz is an old school restaurant with decor from the 1980s which has yet to be updated or changed. Being a small restaurant seating is limited so you manage what you got. The manager of the restaurant was from Lahore and he was making his best efforts but an improvement is required on that front. We specifically ordered beef seekh kebabs yet we got chicken seekh and when we checked with the server they said they ran out of beef so we gave you chicken. The food was pretty decent and the naans were tasty but management needs a rethink on how to run the kitchen and restaurant.
