What a little gem. We had not visited Jamal's before and one question we asked ourselves WHY? Excellent food , good service and a pleasant atmosphere. If your looking for "fast Food" then this is not for you, If you want quality food properly cooked and served with care the you're in the right place. This may have been our first visit, but will not be our last, we have found our new best Indian food outlet.

All excellent not one complaint but be aware the curry strength of the Mr naga chilli is up to what it should be HOT and delicious,. Poppadoms & pickle tray, mixed meat kebab and onion bhajis for starters,mains were succulent tender lamb in the spicy 25 and the notorious chicken Mr naga, lemon rice and chipatti all washed down with a large bottle of cold Cobra what more do you want. Needless to say we will be revisiting on our next visit to cleethorpes.

Fish pakora starter was a let down, bland batter with no seasoning at all. Mix meat starter was ok. Now the good bits main meals was both really enjoyable mr narga excellent all the right kicks. Spice 25 lamb one of the best lamb dish I have had for a long time. So much so we asked to speak to the chef and thank him personally would recommend the main dishes Will revisit

Visited Jamals for the first time ast night ( with Ronnie). I really enjoyed my visit. The decor is nice, bright and fresh, and clean. We received a warm welcome. Poppadoms were fresh and crispy, the dips were very nice. Onion bhaji was perfect.. nice and crspy. And served with chilli jam. My lamb pathia was very nice.. chunks of very tender lamb, plenty of it, the sauce was very nice with lots of garlic and onion. One of the nicest pathias I've had. Mushroom rice and garlic naan both great too. Service was quick and the food was hot. Highly recommended. Thank you !

Pleasant ambiance, friendly staff although no sign of social distancing and the tables too close for intimacy. Reasonably prompt service considering the restaurant was quite busy. I couldn't find a menu on line but there was the usual range of dishes one would expect in the average Indian establishment. We both chose a Biryani and were brought a substantial meal. The steel bowls weren't hot so the meal was cooling giving a greasy texture to the rice. Perhaps the chef was trying to emulate a Lucknow or Kolkata Biryani as spices were sparingly used. On the other hand perhaps the local taste is for bland tasteless sauces. Either way I'm afraid it wasn't a pleasant experience, and that extended to the accompanying vegetable curry. I've munched my way through some memorable curries in the last 60 years, from Delhi to Kandy starting with the famous Veeraswamy in Regent Street. This won't be one of them. On the positive side there was plenty of protein with notably succulent tender lamb, and the onion bhaji (which I'm very partial to) was excellent.

I've visited Jamals for years. First name terms and the chef will always come and see how you like the food and any adjustments for next time. He always remembers exactly how you told last time. Great service and feel like friends when we enter. You'll struggle to find a better curry anywhere.

Jamal’s was recommended to us, so we thought we would give it a try.Ordered through Just Eat, given an estimated delivery time 1.5 hrs ahead and they just met this time, but the food needed reheating.Compared to other takeaways we have used,, the portion sizes were disappointing. The Pilau Rice was the smallest size we have had from any takeaway. Both my wife and I commented that the Masala sauce was lacking in flavour.The cauliflower in the vegetable masala was difficult to cut and had a rubbery texture.We were surprised to find potato skin left on some of the Bombay Aloo but I suppose this can be about personal taste.Will we order again - No. was it value for money - considering the price paid, no.Time to return to the takeaways that have looked after us in the past.

Exellent takeaway, delivered via Just Eat. Onion bhaji done to perfection, with crisp, fresh salad.Rice good (both boiled and pilau), chicken jalfrezis were excellent (not oily at all), saag aloo also delicious.Naan bread not quite done right - a little bit cardboardy, but a minor gripe!Overall, an excellent meal, and very reasonably priced. Slightly milder than some places - more focused on real flavours than the chilli factor - so if you like it hot, consider going "one up" on the menu!Will definitely order from here again!

Popped in around 9.30pm, the place was not really busy, which I found surprising. Our food arrived quickly, the Peshwari nan had just been taken from the tandoor and was fluffy and hot.All the food was tasty and we couldn't fault it at all. We will definitely go again next time we are on a night out in Cleethorpes

Disgusting nasty chicken, vile attitude of aggressive staff, reported to trading standards, they made me pay without even eating it, completely empty restaurant the whole time we were there, I’m not surprised with the food and attitude they have, clearly going under, penny pinching bad attitude, I travelled over 10,000 miles this year across 16 countries and never had this kind of treatment or quality even in the most deprived countries.

Nothing ‘wrong’ with this place; but I have had nicer curries. For a start, the better tikka Zalfrezis are served on a sizzling skillet, not just on a dish. Likewise, it would have been nice to have had a hot tray, to keep the food that bit warmer.Was good value though, at just over twenty pounds for a starter, main course, rice, nan and a pint. To be fair to Jamal’s, the nicer curries I refer to did cost a fair bit more.I would visit again.

Horrific service and even worse food. Went for a family meal and they messed up 7 out 9 orders.

What happened to the customer is always right?

Was a tad unsure of the place when first walking in. Was placed on a large table near the kitchen in a fairly cramped space and decorated with multiple shades of pink. Waiting staff wearing t shirts as uniform. Perhaps not the greatest first impression to set all in all. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Excellent pickle trays with a good selection. My mushroom rice and lamb chilli masala (served on a sizzling plate) were superb. A nice fresh pint of cold cobra to wash it down with left me happy and content. I’d definitely go back. Streets ahead of my experience in the agrah down the road.

We made a last minute visit to Jamals as we were in the area. I read trip advisor reviews prior to the visit which were all very positive. We recieved a really quick and friendly service from the waiter. The food was delicious and came out hot. We had a prawn puri starter which was lovely, a chilli chicken dish, naan and a pilau rice. I'm not a fan of Indian food but the food was really nice.

If anyone works in a customer service field and wants to experience what really good service feels like, this is where you need to come.

The only drawback was I was not allowed to order popodoms whilst I viewed the menu !!! something we always do in other Indian restaurants so we did not end up geting them (their loss)

My wife and I decided to try Jamals as we were in Cleethorpes. We hadn’t booked but we were accommodated. The menu was vast, with some great dishes. We found the quality of the food excellent and the staff were friendly and engaging with us. On the Dow side wine choice was limited, one house white and 2 others. The draught beers were off, but there was a good selection of bottled Indian beer available. We are in the process of moving up to the area,and will definitely return.

Firstly start with a big thank you to Jamal’s for getting a table sorted at very short notice. On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile and shown to our table. Drinks ordered and at our table in a instant, food order was taken and before long we were tucking into some excellent food. From the pickle tray to the mains and rice the food was very tasty. We all had something different and it was all top class Indian cuisine. We have eaten once here before so I would recommend Jamal’s to friends and family.

It is always a good sign when a restaurant is full. Whenever we have tried to walk in without booking we have failed so a phone call was in order. A polite reply to my message on the answer machine was welcome and prompt, setting the tone for our visit.The waiter took our coats on arrival and remained attentive and friendly all evening. The food was fresh, hot and cooked to everyone's taste. We struggled to clear our plates, though not falling to the temptation of over-ordering and would certainly recommend the menu on both quality and affordability. We will certainly visit again.

Tell Jamal what you like and he will discuss it with you, make suggestions and then present you with fabulous food. You want Vegan you get Vegan. You want hot and he discusses whether you want naga family hot, green chilli hot, or garlic and ginger hot or more.The next time you go he knows what you had last time and can make suggestions.I know people that travel from London to get a Jamal's meal.

Me and two friends visited Jamal's and the food was great. Jamal took the time to come and speak to our table and it was nice to meet a chef who is still passionate about what he does. This passion also comes through in the food and the service. You can tell this restaurant is a family affair, all the staff seem to genuinely care and ensure you have an enjoyably experience. If you enjoy authentic Indian food that's freshly prepared then you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for over elaborate and confused menus offering hot Korma's and mild Vindaloos then give it a miss. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We called in here last week for a quick dinner after a long journey home. It's a very friendly place and the food was good, but we thought it was pricey. Over £40 for just poppadum, 2 main, side and a beer and a coke. But the food was lovely. Pity the whole visit was spoiled by a very loud group of 4 people who felt it necessary to shout to each other instead of speaking at normal levels. They completely took over the restaurant, we had to listen to their holiday escapades, yes we get it they like Thailand. !!!!! Very very Annoying.

We came here as a family of 6 early evening but with no booking, a table was quickly prepared.We've been a couple of times before and always been impressed with the service and the food and this time was no exception. We had poppadoms and pickle trays and all went on to have amazing main courses too, the naans are large so we stuck to one between 2.As we were eating more large groups arrived and tables and seats were quickly moved around to fit them so whilst the restaurant appears quite small it really is versatile.The food is the best Indian we have tried in the Cleethorpes and Louth area

Very welcoming family based business, seated food ordered then you start looking around ! The floor (carpet) is worn badly but made more noticeable as its not been hovered ? The title Exclusive India cuisine would mean above average (table both @napkins)but found it to be below. Looked on trip advisor and this restaurant only had 10 reviews this year. Meal was enjoyable but not what I ordered no napkins, just a bit of tissue.sited on the sea front would expect this place to be busy ? If the owner spent some money and but a bit of love back into it, it would come out of the 80's.

We called in to Jamals on a Sunday night it was about half full with a regular turn over of customers. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was great quality and very tasty with adequate portion sizes. I had the sizzling lamb with chilli dish(Can't remember the name) it was very good. It may not look like a fancy restaurant outside and in but it was clean and importantly the food was better than the ones I have tried in brick lane London, Bradford, or Birmingham. Although it is over 30 minutes drive we are likely to make this our local restaurant! Well done chef and staff!

Been coming here for the last 11yrs with my wife and the food never disappoints. Even though the name has changed throughout this time, the food, environment and customer service never disappoints. Jamal's cooking is always very authentic and we always feel like we've tasted something new when we come here. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get as well. This place is easily the best Indian in terms of customer service, food and environment we've been to.

Amazing food and first class service don't be put off by the looks. You don't have to order off the menu just speak to chef and he'll tailor the meal to your requirements. I come here every week.

This is a small but very friendly family run Indian Restaurant. No gimmicks just good honest food. We took a friend who 'didn't like Indian Food'. Jamal came out and spoke to her about her likes and dislikes - result a convert to Indian food, so much so she couldn't wait to return. As well as the usual Indian dishes I would recommend one of Jamals Signature Dishes as they are cooked from scratch and not in his own pre-prepared sauces. My advice is to book as it is small and can get busy.

We arrived without booking on a Saturday evening and were fortunate to get a table. The restaurant was very busy but service was polite and efficient and we were not rushed. Our waiter helpfully pointed out that one of the dishes we ordered contained ingredients that could affect food allergies- not a problem for us but good to know that staff are knowledgable about the food. The atmosphere was lively and bustling. Although not particularly memorable the food was good, the service was excellent and we will definitely return.

I never used to visit Indian Restaurants purely because I don't like Indian Food. I have visited here a few times with my friends now though, as they cater for all requirements. Every time I visit I have a steak with chips and onions. This steak is one of the best I've had, I can highly recommend. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are always on hand!This is a must visit if you're in Cleethorpes.

Tried a lot of indian takeaways in the area but this is by a mile the best one, it's consistently good, incredible flavours, top service. Couldn't recommend it enough👍
