Mahal

The food was good the service increase the bill for no reason with over 10% than they put 15% service not worth it

Best Indian in Angel. Lamb dansak, sag aloo and garlic naan always a winner. Lamb meltingly tender, has the whole sweet, spicy and a touch of sour that all good dansaks should have going on. Naan fluffy, warm, soft and delicious. Missing the oil slick so often present on other lesser curries. Service is always with a smile, welcoming and friendly, makes you feel you’ve been going there for years. Haven’t yet tried the Sunday buffet, a joy yet to come. Only criticism is they’re not open on Mondays! Go and enjoy. They do delivery to boot.

We finally tried Mahal, 2 months after it opened in our neghbourhood. We were always sad not to have tried Sabor, which had been sold to Mahal’s owners…
And it was, to our enjoyment, a very nice dinner !
The service was very friendly, although not overwhelming as in some American diners with waitresses smiling their cheekbones off. No, we found there a genuine will to serve and please.
The menu is very sober yet well structured and pleasant to read (it’s one of my criteria when entering a restaurant :).
The mixed platter we had for starters was a beautiful patchwork of several meat and veggie dishes, all very tasty and tender, especialy the lamb chop.
For our mains, we could not have been better pleased: Lamb Pasanda consisted of tender meat pieces in a very rich, creamy sauce, perhaps a bit too sweet. The chicken Tikka Masala was also great, but lacked a bit of «punch», as a little more hotness would have done it justice.
No comments whatsoever for my dish, the Barwan Khadhi Murgh, a delicious piece of chicken breast with spices and dried onions.
The rice and naans were plentiful and very tasty as well.
I can only recommend this place, and will be back there soon !
