Classic curries in Manchester

“Hidden gem. Under rated place, food is exceptional, modern decor and staff can't do enough for you. One of our favourite Indian restaurants in the area. Bring your own booze is also a massive perk for us. 5 stars.”

“Had a wonderful meal at Mahal this evening. Really polite, attentive staff and amazing food which came out quickly. Very lovely atmosphere and decor too. Will definitely be going back!”

“I've eaten here many times now and have to say one of the best Thai's I've eaten at. Everything is so fresh, fragrant and so flavoursome. The staff are lovely and attentive and eating inside is a very nice relaxing experience.”

“First time here through a friend saying go and I will defo make this my new go to for curry ... Absolute no problems everything was really nice”

“Staff are great, food is good, not a bad place to go to.”

“My absolute go-to for karahi chicken (on the bone. They have off the bone option also). Really generous servings and you can choose your spice level. Their rotis are the best too. Lovely amiable staff and the prices are more than reasonable, would be quite happy to pay more just for the service alone.”

“As an Asian myself, I’m very picky and wary about Asian food outside of Asia, I often find them unauthentic and a bit bland but definitely not this restaurant. I have been here many times and the food has never disappointed me. Green curry here tastes better than most of Thai restaurants I have been to in Asia and in the UK, has such a deep flavour in it. Mixed starters are delicious with proper Asian dipping sauce. The members of staff are nice and friendly, especially May, I like her, she’s such an enthusiastic waitress. I will always come back and introduce this restaurant to all of my friends xx”

“Unbelievable place to visit. Great food and great service from great staff. Well worth the trip from North Yorkshire”

“Very tasty and fresh it's our go to, never disappointed. I've had quite a selection from the menu since they have opened, always enjoyed it.”

“We are so glad this restaurant has reopened! The food is delicious, the staff are lovely and they were really welcoming to us with our baby and toddler. They made a less-spicy version of a dish for our toddler and accommodated a food allergy with ease. We’ll be back soon!”

“We stopped in here for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding and had we had more time we would have kept chatting with our server. This was made perfect by the quality and taste of the 3 dishes we had. The Babaghanouj, Bourak and Maklubeh were outstanding! We’d never had the 2 last dishes and loved the flavor. If we every get back to Altrincham this will definitely be our first stop.”

“Wonderful restaurant, staff are so lovely and the menu is great. I was very impressed with the amount of vegan and vegetarian options. It’s is one of the few restaurants in Altrincham with a separate (extensive) vegan menu. Food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be returning.”

“Delicious food would recommend very yasty sweet and sour king prawns were amazing and salt and pepper ribs too”

“Excellent food, really tasty and could tell the difference in quality from other takeaways”

“My friend and I just had the best curry we've ever had, it was that good! From the service to the food we couldn't fault it. Amazing! I will definitely be coming here again.”

“Amazing experience in every aspect! Very welcoming service, the food was on point and it was decently priced!! Would highly recommend this place.”

“Came for the first time tonight and really enjoyed it, could not fault it at all, the service was lovely and very polite, and the food was really nice, the best curry I’ve had without a doubt, would definitely recommend”

“Lamb dish was tender and spicy and vegetarian dishes equally tasty. Piping hot when it arrived within 45 mins of ordering. We never buy takeouts tbh, but would order from here again.”

“Met up with an old friend for a catch-up and meal. It was a very busy night but the staff was handling it very well. The food was served in a timely manner and was very good. There was a couple of birthday parties in which as you would expect were quite noisy but it did make catching up a struggle.”

“Amazing food. As a vegan I struggle for options, but they have a whole vegan menu! Absolutely loved it, really nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was brilliant.”

“Recently went back to this restaurant for a take away after finding other Thai places pricey. It did not disappoint. No wonder it’s been there for years. Lovely owner, amazing food, tasty melt in your mouth ribs. And a great price! Will be back again next week!”

“Great pub. Open mic night every other Wednesday night. Really relaxed atmosphere and friendly people! Made me feel very welcome.”

“An amazing small place in the heart of Manchester serving original ideas. The food is delicious, and as for the service staff were very helpful and welcoming since the time we arrived. We tried the fondue, and I'd definitely recommend it if you love cheese. In general, this restaurant is a must visit for any food lover that finds themselves in Manchester. All the best, and we'll be back again soon.”

“Visited the restaurant last night and had a great time as always. The food was great and came very quickly. Our server Anya was so lovely and helpful, as she is every time we visit. I can't fault the vegan food as that's what I order and it's all great. I ordered a Blueberry spice juice which was lovely and the vegan teriyaki "chicken" ramen.”

“Went to this restaurant for the first time tonight- it was a fantastic experience. Excellent customer service, the food was outstanding and the it's clean and well presented. Will be back and would definitely recommend anyone gives it a try x”

“Food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only let down is the size of the restaurant and the difficulty of fitting large groups in i.e. 12 or more. The tables have to be situated around a pillar that splits the group up and makes it difficult to get out from the table to get to the toilet. But if you are only a small group or a couple then you won't have any of the seating issues. All in all a really nice place with great food and a pleasant atmosphere.”

“Food amazing! Deep flavourful dishes. Starters very generous sizes. Very reasonably priced. Service friendly without being over bearing. Would definitely recommend.”

“Fantastic Indian restaurant lovely food good price and can take your own drinks. Could not be better.”

“Customer service and staff's are very nice, helpful and friendly, foods are good and they do free delivery”

“First time visit with Family, the place was full early evening. Shown to are table very quick which we had reserve, menu and drinks followed very quick. We ordered 8 different curries with an assortment of rice and nan bread. No complaints from anyone. The staff where friendly and helpful, we never felt rushed at anytime. The place was clean and tied. Will be going again.”
