Maha-Bharat Indian Restaurant in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very good food, very pleasant staff. The place was packed at 7.30pm on a Tuesday so booking a table is essential. Service could have been quicker but considering the number of diners not unsurprising.

Whilst Devon doesn’t have many Indian restaurants, I have to see the South Devon holidaymakers and second home owners are blessed with one of the very best Indian restaurants in the South of England! Bar none!

Thank you for an authentic experience..great food and service was ace

Outstanding Indian restaurant, the staff are so welcoming, friendly and efficient, looking after you from start to finish. Moving onto the food; which was simply DELICIOUS! - Comprehensive menu and a good range of wine. I opted for the Indian classic draft Kingfisher lager. The poppadoms are excellent. The meal was cooked to perfection - Lamb Tika Masala, Chicken Karahli - large portions! Served with Pilau & Coconut Rise, onion & mushroom bhage & Nan bread - superb! Highly recommended

This was busy at 6pm when we visited on holiday in the area. A good sign. The room layout was such that we (as a group of 7) were given a round table in the centre of the room - like the top table at a wedding. We felt slightly ion show but also like invited guests. Quite a long wait for food but it was delicious. Couldn’t fault it in anyway. 5 ⭐️ s? Not quite as the prices were too high. £212 for 7 of us…we’re not used to paying that much for a curry…

Being Indian, I was a bit wary of this restaurant on a long weekend break in Devon. I’m glad I had a meal here. Decor and cleanliness was 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Mahi and Abu provided excellent service and understood our needs. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant to visit once and I’m sure you will be saying you want to go again😉

Had a meal with family for a long needed catch-up, was greeted with a positive inviting attitude, we all felt so comfortable from the start. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about each dish, gave amazing recommendations, and took the time to explain the flavourings when we were stuck at the amazing variety! The food is made to order, which was so helpful as one of us has a food allergy, so the staff made sure that the chefs could adjust dishes to suit her needs. Amazing service and amazing food!

Brilliant as ever fantastic takeaway..we have no.where decent to eat in Frogmore so this is always my fallback choice when I have visitors

Friendly service and attentive staff. As an asian person myself would have preferred the curries to be a bit spicier! Great value for moneu

Recommended too us by our local hosts.Extremely popular restaurant so booking is advisable.Really enjoyed our meal especially the butter chicken. Very noisy. Recommend

An excellent meal, very good service,, didnt wait long for the meal. Well recommended a nice restaurant.

✔️ Tasty food ✔️ Very attentive in recommending and taking the order ✔️ A detail for cleanliness in holding the plates with serviettes while placing them on the table Bonus That RGB LED lamp in the bathroom was kinda groovy :)

Ordered from here on a Tuesday evening early June. Easy and straight forward ordering process and it was delivered hot and before the estimated delivery time. Would recommend.

Wow! I've just moved down from Brighton where there is a great choice of Indian cuisine, ordered a set meal for 1, and was very happy and surprised that they let me change a couple of dishes but pay any extra. I went for the mild set menu for 1, £17.95, which was,....chicken tikka starter, meat korma rice and nan. Swapped the korma for a lamb methi, the plain nan for a keema nan. £22 delivered. OMG! Had a drunken feast last night and thought it was great! Just had the leftovers, OMG again! There was way more than last night on the plate....... It tasted even better, yet more of it! The meat content was way more than I've been consistently getting in Brighton and the sauce much thicker and sooooooo good! 100% I'll be using this restaurant as a go to in the future. Everything tasted amazing, ingredients were fresh and got 2 awesome meals for just over a score???! I'll be back!

We had a late reservation, so although it was quiet the staff were excellent. The food was good, and served a purpose for the night. If you’re looking for well-priced, decent food, give this place a shot. I think the menu is too big and you should concentrate on your specialities but thanks for a fun evening.

Had a fabulous dinner in here last night. Such friendly staff Fresh food - loved it. Highly recommend will be back soon.

great food and staff that went above and beyond

I ate here while visiting Kingsbridge and I wish I lived here so I could eat here regularly!!

Food was good, a very solid Indian that I would recommend but the staff made this place with their attentiveness and knowledge of the food and catering to preferences!

Honestly probably the best Indian I've eaten in, and up there as one of the great restaurants. Food is cooked fresh and they are so knowledgeable and flexible to account for dietary restrictions. The staff are so lovely and know their menu so well. Couldn't recommend it any more highly.

Never been to the restaurant Restaurant called my number How you got my number I'll never know as I've never handed it out freely to a restaurant. Phone number rang me I answered then silence for 10 seconds and it hung up??? What??? Why??? Why have I been rang??? Never been more confused

During a staycation we tried this restaurant for dinner. We were astounded at how good it was! It blew us away. Such friendly staff too.

Exceptional as always! So busy in the restaurant & with takeaways yet so efficient & so professional

We have recently moved to the area and this was our first visit. It’s not cheap but it is very good and worth the money. We will be returning and bringing friends with us when they visit.

Hadn’t booked but fitted us in on a busy night. Service and food was excellent. Would rate this restaurant as 100% . Recommend as visit well worthwhile.

Solid curry, delivery driver was very quick and good looking. Also the side salad is stunning

We have been visiting Maha Bharat during our stays in South Hams since it opened and have always received fabulous service and second to none food quality and generous portions and long may this continue 👍😃

Honestly I don’t think you could find better service anywhere in the country. Always an absolutely wonderful experience to eat here, the food cooked in the clay oven is particularly phenomenal but everything is delicious, made and served with immense care. Couldn’t recommend enough!

We had a delightful meal and thoroughly enjoyed our evening with friends. Staff were very helpful with suggestions.

It's hard to express how good the food / service is here without sounding like a paid agent of the Maha-Bharat. Incredibly nice and respectful staff, and incredible food. If you are reading this review wondering whether you should go, I'll save you the time: You should. It's brilliant.

The most amazing, love you guys.. keep doing what you are doing, respect?🙏 love from Terry xx. ………………………………………,…………………………………………………………………………………………….🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

We ordered from here as we are camping. Food was OK. Both curries were nice and the rice was good. Poppadoms were soggy as anything you could fold them in half and the chips were also soggy. Not sure the French fries go with a curry either. Probably wouldn’t order from here again.

Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff and simply the best Indian food in South Devon. I wish I could eat it everyday.

Spectacular food… Amazing customer service… Very accommodating as we didn’t book on Christmas Eve! Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant

Just arrived in Thurlestone, and Friday night pre-Xmas take-away to avoid late night Kingsbridge trip with 3 small boys. Food was great, good portions, efficient service, and complimentary poppadoms and a bottle of wine. Thanks for making our first night in Devon a memorable one.

Best curry house in South Hams by miles.

Our local tennis club went last night for our Festive Meal and had wonderful food and service. It was very busy and the atmosphere was great - we would recommend as a excellent option for parties at Christmas and throughout the year.

I've been eating here as long as I can almost remember but the food has seriously never tasted better! Incredible flavours ruddy galore 🤤

Good afternoon guys. Ordered a take out Friday evening. Arrived very promptly. Our night took a different route. So had it Saturday....absolutely fantastic as usual. Thank you very much 👍

Some of the best asian food I have ever eaten - the service was really good and staff friendly - the night was for a family get together (9 of us ) we were all served together which was nice and could not reccomend this resteraunt enough

Great food, good atmosphere and attentive service. An excellent choice for a group evening meal. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing food and service, portions are too big. They could reduce the size and then price so everyone wins

Had a great meal here. The food was spot on, the restaurant is nice and clean, and the service was excellent, will be visiting again for sure

Yet again another great meal with excellent service

Absolutely delicious curries. Tasty onion bhaji starter (4 big bhajis) and delicious mixture of meat and veggie mains. Authentic flavours and friendly staff. A great place to go for a curry!

Well, where do we start!! We booked over the phone and the service was excellent, on arrival we had the same amazing level of service, the pickle tray was beautiful, the onion bhaji starter and chicken chat was amazing, the mains were incredible!! This is easily the best curry house we have ever been to!! And we are both in our 40's!!! 5 ⭐️

Best Indian food for miles. Have been a customer since 2003, never disappoints. Absolutely superb. Delivered in less than an hour.

Great food and fibe service, beer a but expensive tho,

Always a fantastic meal with brilliant staff.

Grateful to have delivery to south shore. Overall pricey for an average Indian. Starters mushroom pakora, all bar one pakora I’ve ever had had batter on it, this didn’t and was like a mushroom curry. I had mix kebab, to be honest bland in flavour and lamb was tough. Mains; my wife enjoyed hers, chappattis far too thick I won’t say how much they cost, mine was a special and was ok, lamb tender but lacking in depth of flavour, rice was good. So I wouldn’t discourage delivery but don’t expect too muck, it was ok.

We called on a Friday around 17:30 and just walked in was amazed to find the restaurant fully booked They managed to fit me and my wife in but were given a 90 minute time window Food was fresh tasty and spicy and was presented well Service was good and quick even though the restaurant was full

Anything you desire cooked how you like it, will be done, you cannot fail to be impressed with the food, service and politeness. I wish I lived near to the restaurant rather than 239 miles!. I don't usually comment on how pretty interiors are as personally I'm not that bothered but on this occasion I noticed it, the whole establishment is very clean and perfectly decorated with ambient lighting. For the tastiest Indian meal for miles around, why not visit?.

We visit here often and are never disappointed. Best food fantastic service a truly authentic Indian experience fantastic takeaway as well

Relax atmosfere, good service and very good authentic indian food. Prices are fare and the meniu give you a variety of options.

Fantastic Indian restaurant. I had chicken tikks bhuna and it was cooked to perfection. Don't usually eat in Indian restaurants when on holiday as we come from the West Midlands where Balti dishes are well know for being excellent but the Maha-Bharat was recommended to us and it lived up to all expectations 👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing curry! Shame we couldn't eat in due to poor taxi availability but was the best takeaway we've had

Superb food and lovely staff. Even though we went on a Monday night, it was fairly busy. I wish it was in my home town as visited while on holiday

Very expensive and overpriced first and last time we will ever go here £8.00 for a portion of chips…..

Delicious curry, large range of unusual and yummy dishes. Average main around £12-15. Staff were a delight, managed to squeeze us in when we arrived without a reservation on a Thursday eve around 6.30pm. They were fully booked for the evening... Reservation highly recommended. Fabulous experience.

Amazing. Can’t fault it. I’ve been going here for 20+years, and now happily take my 2 young children as well. The team are really friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. It is a must when we visit the area.

Quite delightful in every sense

Fantastic Indian restaurant and excellent food. We have eaten here several times but this year we ordered a takeaway online. Easy to order from the excellent website, booked for a certain time and when we wanted it. Delicious food as always; very generous portions too.

Usually good but my wife had a lamb dish and it literally only had 4 bits of meat. Mostly curry sauce. Had a lot better at this restaurant. Put us of tbh….

Great attentive service, reseated us when we didn't want to sit next to the door. Food was lovely, curry slightly milder than hoped but nice. Didn't have enough change to tip, so a good review a must 😄

I've been eating here since they started and I've always had a great experience. The staff are really helpful and the food is awesome. Eat in or takeaway, you won't go wrong.

Just had another amazing curry. Food was delicious, great place & staff are amazing. My favourite place to eat.

Beautifully cooked meals and very lovely and helpful staff. Have been before, we had a staff party and it's been just as great as the first time! Definitely will be back again! Thank you very much :)

Fabulous restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed a delicious meal from the extensive menu. Generous portions and friendly, helpful staff who really look after their customers. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

This was recommended by where we were staying. An absolute must,if you are in the area!! Fresh and tasty!!!

No wonder this place gets high accolades. Came here late one Sunday night after a long drive from Kent. One of the best curries I've ever had. Balance of spices and flavours is superb. The chapattis are to die for. Staff were lovely too. If you love an Indian,then you must go.

Absolutely incredible food, attentive and accommodating staff. We have been regularly weekly customers for over 8 years now as it is by far the best indian cuisine dining experience in the southwest of England- proven by the consistent annual awards they receive. Both eat in and takeaway options never cease to delight us. Completely deserving of my 5 star review. A must-visit if you are local or visiting the area!

Efficient, calm and organised staff. Delicious food, good drink options. Atmosphere was a little loud on a busy Saturday night, difficulties hearing across the table.

I have been to many different curry house all over and this is by far best ever!! Everyone is very friendly, attentive and professional. I have now eaten here many times in the restaurant and had takeaways. But I felt I just had to review as they never disappoint. I had an exceptional take away this evening to celebrate 2 weeks off and every dish is completely different and so flavoursome. You don't get the horrible block chicken like you do in many. Each curry tastes unique in every way, and they can adapt it however you like! If you want to add king prawns or if you like extra spice nothing is too much trouble! I love the garlic chilli chicken, my partner has the chicken dansak with added king prawns and my daughter had chicken Kashmiri. All superb! They have won awards and it is very much deserved. Thank you all.

Had an amazing dinner with my extended family while in kingsbridge. Every bit of it was delicious. Had been eating takeaway only but today was my first dine in visit and the service was top notch. Will come back again. 😋

Proper curry! Best we’ve had in a very long time. Would recommend.

First time here, the food was lovely, plentiful and the staff were excellent, a little pricey but probably the norm for the area as everything here is more expensive than the Midlands

Best restaurant in the south west? Come away for a family holiday and all had to stop our meals as a spider was in our masala. When phoned the restaurant staff and manager didn’t want to know and said “it would have melted away in...

It was our first time trying this restaurant and I had very high hopes after reading the reviews and seeing they had recently won an award. Unfortunately it didn’t meet up to expectations. The food was average, we ordered poppadoms, chutneys, 2 curries, 2 rice...

Great food, great service, great place! There's nothing more to say.

Superb service, delicious cuisine, wonderful atmosphere, great value for money. Highly recommended!

Under the extreme pressure of the height of summer this place never fails to deliver the best food and service, with all the staff having a smile on their face. The food this evening was incredible and considering we were a table of 11 it...

This has been our go-to local Indian restaurant for the last four years since we moved to Devon. We have had many great meals here and given it suitably appreciative reviews. Sadly this one is different. Our meal last night was poor. Service was slow;...

This has always been one of our favourite places to eat when on holiday in the area. This time, we visited on a busy Wednesday evening. Food was mostly good, and the portions were fairly generous, but we were surprised at how expensive the whole...

This restaurant never disappoints, the take away is consistently good

Of all restaurants Maha-bharat is always my go to. Outstanding food & service always, the amount of people that always recommend not just locals but people from all over says a lot about this place 🙌🏽

Absolutely 5* service. The busiest I've ever seen it and yet the food was still incredible. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was still thriving. Thankyou everyone for an enjoyable dinner.

Maha-bharat staff are very respectful and friendly, nothing too much trouble. Food is excellent. For eating in or take-away, service is 5-star.

The chicken and chips are 5* Few ugly delivery drivers is the only downside

Great place to grab a take away or dine in.

Had to make quite a journey to get there. Not disappointed in any way. It does get busy at about 7 but heck if you are good, and these are, you do fill the covers. Perhaps go after 8 if you are not prepared to wait. We didn't, I therfore had to talk to wife and kids.😉

Great food, but served luke warm. Meat and vegetables in large chunks instead of mouth-size pieces. Bar service too slow.

Food was delicious, there were generous portions and plenty of tasty vegetarian options as well as meat. We were staying at Pitt Farm in Totnes and got takeout from here - the food was packaged well and they had lots of options for our large...

Absolutely the very best curry we have ever tasted. We had a Methi Lamb and Achari Chicken as a takeaway, as we were staying a street away with our dogs so could not dine in. Flavour and heat were perfect and we thoroughly recommend. Restaurant...

Very tasty Indian. Would recommend. Only downside is that it took around 2 hours to be delivered, however on receipt it was still fairly hot.

Very delicious and lovely stuff!

The Worst Biriyani I have ever tried, It was spiced rice + boiled Lamb. There wasn't the tiniest taste or aroma of any biriyani masala or basmati rice. Had to put it in the bin.I am utterly disappointed.

It is hard to believe somewhere that has been consistently excellent for so long could get any better and yet, with each meal we enjoy their food that much more. We are never disappointed no matter what we order and cannot fault the service. We...

Food was nicely prepared but lacks spice. Place was full of drunk locals shouting at each other

Absolutely 100% amazing for coeliacs! We were visiting Devon on a friends annual trip and had two takeaways from this Indian restaurant and both were exceptional. I really can’t recommend this place enough, the staff super helpful and very knowledgeable about my coeliac dietary requirement...

Fantastic food,friendly atmosphere and service.
