Curry Mahal in Bexley

Very good indeed. So glad I found these guys again.

YUMMMY SO DELICIOUS I LOVEEE ITTT SOO MUCH🥹😘

The tandoori fish was inedible. The rest was OK but sauces were lurid colours. We ordered from here on holiday and didn't realise it was different to previous Curry Mahal. Would not use again.

1st time back since under new management and I was extremely impressed with the staff and food. Will be revisiting again very soon. Well, this is now my favourite restaurant and chef has even prepared a dish especially for me - Where’s Mike! - pic below. Don’t tell Jimmy it’s better than the Karahi!! A big thanks to all the team who are like family to Danielle and I.

Not a nice establishment, service was poor staff would rather be on social media than to serve. Food was appalling chicken was uncooked, asked for the manager they said manager was unavailable so we left.

Food was delicious as usual, but we ordered the Emmerson and received Mariam instead. We wrote in the order notes that we wanted the Emmerson because there was no option to choose on the menu which one out of the two we wanted. Other than that mistake, everything was great 👍

Lovely food and staff very helpful good service couldn’t fault

Food was hot and delicious as always. Would 10/10 recommend curry Mahal, although it’s always better in person!

Very nice.. all food arrived nice and hot..

Fantastic service and amazing food. Totally worth it.

ordered two curry mahal specials, both curry's were just swimming in oil, completely inedible

Excellent food and such friendly service, best Indian meal we've had probably ever and we visit a lot of Indian restaurants, would defiantly recommend.

WOW. Absolutely blown away by how amazing this food tastes. Wish we found them sooner. Will definitely be ordering again and highly recommend. The food arrived piping hot and fresh. Compliments to the chefs!

Absolutely brilliant one of the best Indians I’ve had 5*

Had Jimmys korai. Best curry ever tasted. Lamb was cooked perfect. Came out sizzling in am iron pot. Lush

Quick delivery, amazing food, 10/10 best curry in the bexley / sidcup area

Didn’t get delivered not the restaurant fault.

Owner use to run our local Curry house and was amazing then. Glad we bumped into him and his team again and service and food was as good if not better!! We have now found our (not so local) but curry house. Worth the travel. Thanks for looking after my family and making it a great evening. I highly recommend this place. Richard

Came out for a wedding anniversary meal, and was not disappointed. Food and service was outstanding, and the staff couldn't of been friendlier. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be coming back. If you are looking for a good quality Indian restaurant, book a table!

Thank you for my wonderful birthday feast ! Delicious food.

Has turned up without my tandoori chicken

I think this is the best curry I’ve ever had, from here or anywhere tonight. Amazing tastes, portion size, flavours. Thank you Curry Mahal A***

Found hair in my food. Rude staff, owner accused me of placing a black coloured pube in my own food. My hair is grey and my wife is blonde. The food was cold too and never tasted fresh. Once we found the pube. We never finished our meals. This place needs a hygiene inspector. Don't believe the positive feedback, the owner gives discounts to those who will leave good ones. Terrible!! On top of this. The staff are not even Indian. I think people in sidcup see brown people and curry and think "Indian!!". Sadly not. I heard them waffling on in their own tongue and its clearly Bengali. This is called passing off. If a pub bottled supermarket vodka in a expensive empty bottle of russian vodka and sold it for retail. They'd be prosecuted! I dont know why its any different when the chefs/cooks are all from Bangladesh! This explains why the food does also not taste authentic and relevant to India. Also, no tilapia option!! If you want quality alcohol or mixed alcohol beverages. Buy it in a restaurant where the bar staff actually have tried alcohol before themselves. The staff are muslim. This is a problem if the wine is off and they wont try some to corroborate the problem. The chicken is not fresh.. I could tell the chicken was days old and then heated up. Sadly the lamb was also bland. None of the meal had any depth. They sadly either dont use fresh coriander or run out of fresh coriander as it was lacking.. dried coriander is a huge let down. This really is not fresh indian cooking. Even in India the regional style of cooking varies. Its obvious that not one chef is indian. What's also funny! Some of the positive reviews have stock photography of food that's not even theirs!😂

Great tasting food amazing portions and value for money! Definitely my favourite local

We've been coming here regularly on a Tuesday for a number of years. There is usually 6-8 in our group. We know the owner Mr Khan from his days working at the Oval Brasserie, so we are usually looked after well & the service is very friendly. Unfortunately, yesterday we were subjected to the worse service we've ever had in this restaurant. We phoned & booked a table for 4 at 8.15, and were told if wouldn't be a problem. The reason we booked was because of the conditions of the tastcard offer (2 for 1 on main courses, when booked in advance). We were seated on a small cramped table near the door, even though there were plenty of other tables further in. We mentioned to waiter we had a tastcard, and he informed us it was only valid if we had booked in advance. We told him we had phoned and book previously but he replied that the tastcard offer was only for bookings made at least 24 hours beforehand. We pointed out the conditions on the tastcard app, which stated quite clearly that it was for pre-booked tables & we were entitled to the 2 for 1 offer. He said he couldn't do it, so we asked the speak to Mr Khan, and he replied rudely "Mr Khan is in Bangladesh". We received our food which we have no issues with but it was served in an hostile manner, with no consideration. They forgot parts of our order and we had nearly finished our meal before they finally arrived. When we asked for our bill, we mentioned once again about the tastcard but we were shown a small typed photocopy of an agreement with tastcard saying "offer only available with pre bookings" we pointed out again, that we had booked but to no avail, they wouldn't accept it. The waiter & manager were extremely arrogant & dismissive towards us. We told them we would not be back and that it was a shame, as we like Mr Khan & the food was always great. But they were not interested in the slightest. Mr Khan, if you read these reviews, you really need to keep an eye on your business, because you have lost a group of loyal customers!

Exceptional food with very friendly service, always the 1st choice

Brilliant - I had tried previously to order a Mexican from somewhere else but after waiting about 30 minutes, they cancelled on me, so I was quite hungry by the time the curry arrived, I was ready for it. Thoroughly enjoyed it - thank you

Such good food I ended up here rather unexpectedly but it was a wonderful surprise. I went on a Tuesday night when they have a special . £16.95 for a starter main side and naan I had onion bhaji, chicken saag and pilau rice Everything was fabulous. The chicken was so well good and the taste of the naan was superb

Wow fantastic glad we found you Food is out of this world. Staff fantastic. Big man made us very welcome Chicken chat puree was how it should be done. Not like the Ruchi indian restuarant at albany park that give you 2 Tablespoons of Chicken Korma LOL

Always have a great meal at Curry Mahal, it never disappoints and the staff are so friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend

Been coming here for almost 15 years...! Consistently great service and great food, Jimmy's Korai and Moghul Special are my highlights.

Fantastic curry in sidcup, food was amazing!

It’s the first time that I ordered from curry mahal and i loved it the food is delicious, hot arrived in time and the portion is enough , i highly recommend it

Great night out with mates brilliant food service 10/10

Always great food quality, amazing taste and value definitely now my favourite Indian food and service. Staff so helpful and great delivery

My wife and myself have enjoyed a early 2 course meal and a couple of drinks in the space of 2hours . perfect for a married couple escaping. Starter misour chicken (excuse the phonetic) tender and well presented. I had a house recommended lamb Jimie Courie (apologies again) with a of the menu chicken mildly spiced accompanied by rice and advised potatoes. Congratulations to the restaurant . Thank you!

As previously great portion size, temperature and flavours. Consistently reliable and fresh. Highly recommend Curry Mahal & well worth value for money!!

Best Indian restaurant in sidcup Very highly recommended

Always really good food, hot, fresh amazing flavours, excellent delivery. Highly recommend this restaurant

Some of the food was cold, but they said it was freshly cooked!! As a result, my friend was ill later that night. When I messaged them the following day, they replied with a laughing face emoji. Not what you would expect but I thought I would share so you can make up your own mind whether you should risk going there.

Only the big guy who is the boss gives good service . Runs out of Kingfisher all the time . Young waiters no smile don’t want to be there. Too long to serve and take orders. Staff training needed. Can be there 2 hours!

We always get takeout food from Curry Mahal , food is always excellent, best Indian food we’ve tasted, they used to be in pettswood and we followed to sidcup when they moved , even though we live in Bromley. Well worth the visit

The food here is absolutely fantastic and I’ve recommended Curry Mahal to a lot of my friends who now go there regularly and they feel the same I’ve seen a few bad reviews on TripAdvisor for this restaurant and I wonder if they have been fabricated comments by other restaurants !!!

Good curry, quick delivery. Vegetable curry not the best though.

Always great service. Food quality is good and I keep coming back due to this. Value is very reasonable. The team here always kind & helpful too. Highly recommend this establishment 5 star across board

Really tasty food and I did ask for specialist instructions and they were followed. Good value and highly recommend to anyone! Thank you

Really lovely food and piping hot

Long standing customer from when Owners Restaurant was in Petts Wood. Glad to say high standards transferred.

First time ordering and it was 'ok' but all the dishes were very watery. Will go back to our usual.

Family of 14, ages 3 - 80 had a wonderful time celebrating 80th birthday. Food was gorgeous and superb service. They really made it a great time, with balloon, banners and 2 cakes with sparklers. Have been coming here over 34 years and still as good as ever. Thank you.

Great food. Good value for money. Friendly staff

Just eat was delivered in time. Very good

On time & food was excellent & hot

First time I have used this service, impressed with ease of use.

I was missing 2 onion Bhajis and was sent one samosa as a replacement. The Tikka Massala was also not very nice and tasted very strongly of coconut which I have never had before from this or any other Indian restaurant. Probably won’t be going back again which is a shame as it’s always been our go to Indian

Delivery great. food was awful not Madras just puree and chilli no other ingredients burnt Nan bread and burnt tikka very bad.

Moyn and Jimmy are very dodgy indeed. Mick and Sue who are customers mentioned that Jimmy charges for extra cobras when he sees the person is drunk. He adds on a few extra cobras to the bill. One customer pretended to be drunk and Jimmy added onto the bill a few extra cobras and then the customer complained to Moyn but Moyn did nothing at all about it. The food here is not as good as the Rajdoot in Petts Wood but both have the same menu and the Rajdoot in Petts Wood has some extra nice dishes on their menu. Some people I know have been going from Petts Wood to Curry Mahal in Sidcup and have said it is rubbish.

First time we've ordered and food was lovely. Will definitely order from here again

This place appears to have changed hands. For sure the change of ownership has freshened things up. Really friendly and accommodating staff, and thoroughly delicious food make Curry Mahal somewhere we will continue going back to time and again. Also... we seem to go for dinner when a family had booked a birthday Karaoke night in there. Was a great laugh and made the night for us. Come on guys... you know you wanna make "Curry Karaoke' a permanent fixture.

Always good food from Curry Mahal. Order time of 40 mins not awful for peak time on a Saturday evening.

New owners have ruined a great restaurant. I'm local and have been eating in and having take away for 10+ years, never had such poor service or food as tonight. The staff made several mistakes with our order, and when I took the order back they refused to accept their mistake - despite the very clear evidence of completely wrong dishes! On top of that the food we did have was really poor quality. This used to be a great place to eat, but the combination of rising prices, poor service and now wrong orders means we won't go again. Simply not the place it used to be.

Have been a local going here for 10+ years, and sadly the new owners have run the place into the ground. Myself and the wife recently ordered a takeaway. The quality of the dishes was very poor and they made several mistakes with the order. I returned to query the mistakes, only to be met by arguing staff claiming I was in the wrong. Even when presented with very clear evidence, they refused to help. Sidcup has many indian restaurants to choose from and I would urge you to go elsewhere.

Under new management. Great food, great service, welcoming environment. A variety of different dishes. Definately worth a visit!

Food is ok nothing special. The staff here are so rude as to Royal kitchen down the road which is the same company owner. Food is very overpriced for what it is and staff need to learn how to deal with customers in a friendly and polite manner. Food is always late that's probably because they deliver and appear on food sites in Greenwich when they're based near Kent!

Great place to eat food superbly prepared

I’ve always loved the food here because they have some unusual dishes from the norm. Was so delighted on Sunday when the new owners talked us through loads of unusual new dishes we’d never tried before. They were stunning. Highly recommend giving them a go. Loved if so much going back this coming Sunday

Just an off chance pop in as staying at Premier Inn nearby. The food and service was fantastic. Highly recomend this restaurant if you like Indian food.

Great restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Food was excellent! Staff were very helpful and courteous. Recommended.

We have visited Mahal over many years and been very happy - the business seemed to suffer during COVID period and whilst providing good takeaways, it was evident that the restaurant business suffered. We visited last week and met the new owner/manager and complimented him on great food and service. We will certainly visit again…

Not the real Indian tasty food.

Fantastic place. Moyn and the crew are awesome.

I never received my order n it shows delivered

Restaurant is under new management now. We visited once recently and can see massive changes. Staff are trying their best in terms of food and service. We really enjoyed the whole experience - food was great, and service excellent. Already booked for Valentine's day :-) Keep up the good work, guys!

Food is full of flavour! Would highly recommend visiting

If only there was an option to order vegetable balti as it’s the only dish one of my family will eat…. Food absolutely amazing though, highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We ordered a curry takeout from Curry Mahal , which used to be located in pettswood radjoot our favourite Indian food , luckily we found from someone they had moved to sidcup annd changed name to Curry Mahal and food was delicious as always, had a wonderful meal tonight! All I can say is glad we found them again after trying other Indian takeaways and had been disappointed 5* very happy customer

Hubby and I went here on Wednesday. Its was brilliant, the food was so good, best Indian that I have ever had. Staff were very good and prices not bad either.

This is under new management and what a difference! Excellent choice on the menu with some very new dishes. Friendly service and reasonably priced

Was good about 1 year ago before being taken over, absolutely rubbish now used to be a regular customer but will go to Moghul instead!

Under new management this place is excellent great atmosphere great food best I've been to in a long time will definitely be back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We used to use this restaurant a lot but unfortunately it went downhill. After the change of management it is back to its best. The food was excellent, as was the service.

Very nice. The staff are great, the service is excellent and the food is cooked to a very high standard. Beautiful clean restaurant and nice attention to detail. Would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal in this area.

New Management in place (used to run Raj Doot in petts Wood) Mickey and his team and chief really look after his customers and the menu has been extensively updated. Most likey the best Indian food in Sidcup now!!!

The food is always good when I order and for value for money it ls amazing the set menu for 2 has a great selection of starters/mains I love it

Rock solid management team back in place. Personal and friendly. Plus the curries are back on track with proper chefs back in place.

This restaurant used to be one of the best curry houses in the area. It has clearly changed hands. I ordered a takeaway that had not arrived after 2 1/2 hours. No one called me about the delay and worse still no one answered the...

I’ve been coming To this local curry house for the last 17 years its changed hands three times sadly the recent change of hands has resulted in a negative impact on how the restaurant is run . The big sale is online orders get 50%...

Totally understaffed for even a Thursday night. Food was very mediocre- no onion bhajis- seriously?? are they not made from fresh?. No working toilet either. The ladies was closed, so everyone had to use the mens- the flush did not work in this toilet either...

Just visited curry mahal, the service was excellent and the food was so good! Very reasonably priced too, and the portion sizes were also very substantial. Definitely will visit again in the future.

Fantastic curry tonight, pretty damn reasonable for a beer or two, a curry and the trimmings.

Friendly family run restaurant. Nothing special but also no real faults.

Our delivery arrived over an hour and 40 minutes after ordering. This wasn’t our first problem on deliveries. When it arrived it was barely warm. Naan breads cold and our side orders only had half portions in each container. Called to complain to be told...

One of the worst experiences ever. It's been 2 hours since ordering the food and we have no update from them. The phone number is not reachable either. Pathetic service and buying from this restaurant is not recommended. Dreadful!

Ordered via their website it said 1.30hrs to delivery. I rang explaining this was too late and I will cancel the order. Informed it would be delivered in under an 1hr. Well 2hrs and two phone calls later and it turns up wrong and I had to reheat the food. Will not be using or recommending. Overpriced as well !

Great food👍 really enjoyed it, but they did forget to send my pilau rice. The Chicken curries were nice overall thank you!

They took my order and kept pushing back the time ruined my meal with my wife. Thanks a lot. I will never eat at your restaurant. Terrible way to run a business. They also wouldn’t pick up the phone.

4th April 2022 the food quality and service was first class albeit quiet on a Monday. Certainly would go again and no hesitation to recommend it. Unfortunately not local to me.

Really not good. Booked but wasnt down on the list but had a proof. Left for 45mins before ordering. Didnt have the duck starter so ordered king prawns, hot 2 small prawns which were burnt. Just finished starters when mains arrived. Put on the table but no knifes or forks. Food was just ok at best. Asked for 4 coffees told sorry No coffee. When we asked for the bill, we were asked what wed had to drink, told it didnt matter if we couldn't remember. so we told them it wasnt hard to remember and was told "ok I'll put that down but doesnt matter if you cant remember" like we'd lied. Service not good food nothing special. We wont be back.

Ordered online on Saturday for collection and had to wait nearly 90 minutes. When I collected the order I specifically asked the waiter to check everything was in the bag. He looked at the order and said yes. Got it home and surprise surprise an...

Ordered through Just Eat 8pm Saturday night - fine, I know it will take a while..was told 9pm-9.20pm. Waited until 9.45pm before calling restaurant - “not gonna lie, your food is still in the kitchen” DON’T ACCEPT THE ORDER IF YOU CAN’T HONOUR IT. Greedy - just say you’re too busy to accept the order. Going to bed hungry now…awful, will never use again. You only have to read previous reviews to see this is a common problem…wish I had before ordering!! **EDIT** food turned up at 22.15pm as I was going to bed, guy was very apologetic, seemed very genuine and under pressure. Just poorly managed it seems.
