Our go to takeaway in Dalkeith for 20 years. Great food at good price and mostly delivered in about an hour (we live out in the country so this is expected).

I went to buy a chicken kebab from kebab mahal and it was disgusting. The chicken was raw and cooked in the microwave. I asked for a grilled chicken kebab instead and the guy refused and was extremely rude. I just left empty handed paying £13 and won’t recommend anyone else to go there. Worst service ever.

We usually used this place as the food seemed fresh and tasty and the staff seem friendly. Today we ordered two meat boxes, usual order, disappointment isn’t a strong enough word, the food was not fresh at all, you can tell the lamb kebab is not fresh at all, the donner meat which I was a huge fan of is completely tasteless and completely dry, everything served to us today has not been fresh or adequate. I have paid £40 plus for what seems like microwaved food.

We ordered the dishes Mushroom Bhajee and “Saag Paneer”, and they were tasting the same, one difference was “saag paneer”was a bit spicier, NO SIGN of spinach in the “saag paneer” which is ridiculous and disappointing. I love the Saag Paneer from Kebab Mahal in Edinburgh, and we were hoping to have similar experience in this place but not really. Good to know for future

My wife and I ordered a takeaway from here and we thought it was pretty good. Delivery time was much quicker than originally stated which was nice. They were able to customise my order which was also appreciated. Unfortunately the Mahal Mixed Kebab which I ordered had plentiful salad but not as much meat as I was expecting. It also didn’t include any donner meat that it was supposed to. I had to steal some from my wife’s meal as she appeared to have an abundance of donner. The meat that I got was quite nice but the peshwari naan was what stole the show. We also got a few dips which complemented the meal well. We did find that paying £36 was quite pricey for 2 dishes.

Absolutely horrendous service. I ordered a delivery 6pm on a Monday being told 45 minutes. At 8pm they tel me its not made yet and will need to wait another 30 minutes at least. Why promise on a delivery time if you're not going to be able to deliver? I have two young kids who were very hungry that night. On another occasion just because we used a discount code we could see they reduced the size of the portions. Never using them again.

I placed an online order for a scheduled drop off time, with more than 1 hour and a half notice, I even called the restaurant to confirm the address and time because the app couldn’t find my exact address, when the delivery window pasted I called the restaurant again and spoke to the same person, and she told me that they had been busy and were behind, and that my order wasn’t even prepared yet and would be around half an hour, more than 1 hour later than u had “scheduled” for the food to arrive for my young children and myself, then I get a call, 2 hours after placing the order, telling that they don’t have chicken and only chicken tikka, so now the order will be 1 and an half hours late, and my kids and I getting more and more Irritable about the situation, and the desire to eat gone, I’m sure they have put back the order until last, on more than 1 occasion because this is not possible for an order to take more than 2 hours to prepare at only 2 miles from the restaurant…. The food is great here, but it will be a long time until I think of ordering from this place due to the lamentable delivery service and the inability to fulfill a scheduled delivery and not by a few minute, more than an hour.

Always get my order wrong. I keep giving it a few weeks and try again how ever tonight took the piss, wrong order came, and the whole meal was covered in brown sauce and items missing from order, man was rude on the phone when I called. Example- I asked for cheese that comes with the kebab to be separate as someone in my family that would be eating a bit of the kebab is allergic to cheese, this was ignored and it came covered in cheese, the man said it dosnt come separate I said I’m a regular customer and uv always given me the cheese separate and I can prove this by my just eat orders and he’s shouted back no iv worked here for years and Wev never given anybody cheese separate! That was just an example of the guff I was told and that he wished to argue about! How about u stop arguing about petty things that can be proven by the pictures and buy the people iv had here when Wev previously ordered from you (2 pictures attached are two separate orders 31/3/18 and 22/2/18) and sort out your attitude towards customers and getting there orders correct!?

If I could give them a minus I would, when I called back I told them I had to make the call quick as I didn't have enough credit (which I previously stated to them) and still got the rude tone of voice from the same person, I wouldn't be surprised if something is wrong with my food when it comes, it is such a shame as this place has potential to be really good.
