Masala Jacks in Coventry

I have not been here for years but visited early evening before an event. The menu is good and drinks list decent (no alcohol). The surroundings are good and the staff are very friendly. The starters we ordered were good although the aloo tikki was a bit oily. The mains were good but again one of them was a bit oily. Flavours were good though. The manager is a nice guy and gives good advice and makes sure things are as you expect. The bowls for the curries were chipped though and this cant really be acceptable in a restaurant as its unhygienic. Please update these, use a bit less oil and and a bit more attention to presentation and it would be really good. I would want to give it currently 3.5 but would be 4 with those changes

New chef what a great menu and the food is excellent

A group of eight of us went and we were all hugely impressed with the quality of service and food. Prices also very reasonable. Time taken was just about right too. My only concern is that a diner on an adjacent table was vaping throughout her meal and this wasn't picked up by staff. Otherwise superb, and well nigh perfect.

The Food was excellent and the Manager and staff were extremely helpful. Good service

Fantastic restaurant. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. There's a shop just up the road where you can get drinks from. Food was absolutely top notch. Definitely a recommendation from me. Update 30th August '24. Unfortunately they've ramped the prices up to a ridiculous level for basic curries. The Naans and rice prices are absolute comedy. (The Naans are tiny and wafer thin). I can't recommend thid place at all. The menu has such small print it's barely readable.

Me and my friends ate here last night the service was great and food was delicious the quality of the meat was lovely not like many places around the area definitely coming back thank you

I came here for a birthday meal with friends and I cannot fault this place at all. The curry was authentic and flavourful and the mixed grill was perfection. All the meat was juicy and the portions were generous too. The staff were friendly and professional and even had a laugh and a joke with us too. Overall, I give this place a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend, I will definitely be visiting again soon.

The best restaurant in Coventry, really nice food, friendly staff, come here from Birmingham often, highely recommened 10/10

Amazing as always, tried different dishes and every one was outstanding. Been all over the world and have eaten curry everywhere we have been but NOWHERE is as good as Jack's. Love the place

Great food always come here to eat. Been coming here for years

The food is always good at Masala Jacks, especially the house byriani. Service was prompt. I would recommend this restaurant.

decent food,even though it did take ages to be served , (there was 12 of us) bring your own beer aswell D.F

Uncooked chicken, not recommended 😑

before booking a larger group. I travelled with a mate from Droitwich although the other three were more local. Impressed by the friendliness of the staff, who were also very attentive and helpful when we ordered our meals. We had 5 empty plates at the end of the meal and left with a satisfied feeling of having been well looked after. We are now planning to bring a larger group. Considering this was a Monday night in July, it was reasonably busy which gave it a good atmosphere and deserves every credit for a job well done

good food, bit pricey but quality

Staff were accommodating and provided quality food 👌 We had the Mixed Grill which was good quality and very filling... Post of food in Halal Food Bites on Facebook 👌

Always amazing food and great service. Taz, Ghulam and their team are so accommodating and helpful always. 10/10

Very tasty food with friendly staff

Sadly I’m having to leave such a negative review after seeing and reading such good ones but our experience was of a bad one. Arrived at the restaurant to be seated before we new it poppadoms and sides where put before us wicth we did not order nor are they free. Orders were taken sadly an hour and twenty minutes went by before we received it we where told this is down to cooking a whole chicken however when we did all the sides went back as they were stone cold and also a main. Sadly I’d already given my two kids a share of my rice before realising mine was also cold. I’ll be honest I was offered a new fresh rice but declined I’d already put most of my mains on the already cold rice. My main in particular was a king prawn masala it had 2x king prawns in it cut up in 4-5 pieces it was not value for money the 3-4 mains that we all ordered was all similar in sauce all that was different was the name.

Below average. Food wasn’t bad, but was far from great. Atmosphere is awful, loud music played from I think YouTube is overbearing. The creepy waiter only ever spoke to my wife and kept his back to me during 99% of interaction, only spoke to her and was very creepy, made her feel very uncomfortable. Told her after giving us the bill that she would have to put any tip we wanted to give directly in his hand. No tip was forthcoming, my glass was empty when the food was brought out and was still empty when I finished my meal. They get 2 stars because the food wasn’t bad, just not memorable and not worth coming back for. Even if the food was amazing there are literally tens of better restaurants in a 3 mile radius without the creepy waiter hitting on your wife in front of you and who will top your drink up.

Iv only had takeaway from masals Jack's always been 10.10 the only place I would order food in coventry always banging food

Very nice place. Good Indian food and drinks.

Excellent food. Above all excellent service. Ordered take away a few times, delivered in time and fresh plus hot. V fresh salad n rotis delivered. They specially accommodated me when I ordered an earlier take away by error, I had guests coming, they were v helpful. Food was delicious.

This restaurant is the best Indian Restaurant I have even eaten in and had delivery from. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants in many cities and Countries and this restaurants food is by far the nicest I have ever had. I find it extremely hard to find a good takeaway curry but this restaurant never let's us down. Nice friendly staff also. I always highly recommend.

Ordered Chicken Biryani 3 times previously in the past 2 weeks which was good, however the prices went up by 30% in just 1 day. It’s not really how you raise the prices for your business. I think it’s quite disrespectful towards existing customers it’s why I gave 1 star and I won’t order anymore! Time to find different restaurant.

Was there yesterday as part of a group celebrating Kings Birthday. Wow. The food and service was awesome. All staff were polite courteous and friendly. The Lamb curry and chicken curry were simply irresistible. The tadka daal had awesome ghee flavour , delicious. We requested some take away and the staff were happy to oblige. All in all one exceptional hidden gem for authentic Indian cuisine. 5 stars.

Always satisfied with the food the staff Always do there best to accommodate

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We have eaten in and also had home delivery. Food exceptional, staff support you with your tastes, requirements and dishes to try. Very well priced too. Simon

Food was amazing , so delicious and good portion sizes. The servers were all polite and hospitable. Lovely atmosphere . Would 100 percent recommend.

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Cov. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything I've ever ordered (on or off the menu) tastes awesome! Highly recommend!

Used these loads , this time everything was awful , lamb chops , mostly bone and fat, food cold, keema naan awful , what’s gone wrong?

Great food cooked fresh, if you want quick and reheated go elsewhere. I haven't been let down to date, I have to say the venue has a buzzing environment. One of midlands few authentic restaurants that make food to order and use fresh ingredients. Even if you don't fancy curry their steak and freshly made pepper sauce is mouth watering. They do great vegetarian options, the paneer karahi is the best I've tried.

Banging munch, even better service

Went to masala jacks to eat out and the service and food was really nice! I am a fussy eater but I couldn’t wrong the food. We then made a big order for Eid and they were so helpful and reassured us about the food constantly. The food was really tasty as well considering it was a big order and gave us some extra masala curry for the biryani as well! Definitely recommend trying it

Highly recommend 5*+. Incredible food. I have been going here for around 12 year and have never had a bad experience. It takes a little longer than some other restaurants to come out. However, that’s because it’s always fresh and the sauce doesn’t just come from the same one pot. I can honestly say it’s well worth the wait. The staff are great and always go above and beyond to ensure you get the best service possible. Take away is always good as well. I would go as far to say it’s the best in Coventry and I’m very fussy when it comes to asian cuisine. Truly authentic 10/10.

“I was blown away by the service at Masala jack. Amazing food.

Excellent food and service, take your own alcohol and save even more

First time dining in at Masala Jack's and honestly one of the best places we have been to. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Let's talk about the food, wow 👌 it was absolutely amazing 👏 We had a mix grill sharer, keema mutten, lamb bhuna, masala chips and cheese naan, all cooked fresh and tasted delicious 😋 10/10 we will 100% be going back.

My daughter has just come down. And got me a Chicken tikka madras and pilau Rice excellent food. And will definitely come again. and will highly recommended it to all my friends that live in Coventry

I had a chicken tikka madras curry and peeler rice. This is got to be one of the best restaurants in Coventry. Excellent food excellent service. You’ve got a try this one you won’t be disappointed.

Honestly can't fault this place at all. Best mixed grill 've had, meat and chicken were juicy and succulent, packed with flavour. Lamb chops are a must try! Chicken curry was amazing and achari gosht was beautifully cooked. Curries were fresh and full of flavour. This place gives you the home cooked taste. Chefs definitely know their stuff. Exceptional customer service from all staff especially Taz . Will definitely be visiting again, keep up the amazing work guys!!!.

Group of four friends. Really loved this place, they were so friendly and attentive to our needs really made us feel welcome :) food was delicious presented very well and well priced. We really Enjoyed our evening thank you! I do not eat any animal products and this restaurant really respected this and couldn't do enough to check everything was animal free. I really appreciate this, I'm used to feeling like a pain when I go out to eat because of my beliefs - but you guys made me feel normal so thank you :)

10/10 best Indian food I’ve had. Not a long wait either.

Best curry house in Coventry actually spice and season the food unlike most places 100% recommended 😝

It's OK a bit basic if I'm honest seems to be more of a meeting place for their friends

Mix grill was spot on, everything fresh and made very well. Customer service was amazing, very friendly and welcoming to all.

Excellent service, amazing staff, best quality food. Staff is very kind and welcoming. Loved it. Best Lamb Curry❤️❤️ Chicken wings: 10/10 Kebab: 10/10 Paneer chilly: 10/10 Chicken Biryani: 10/10 Lamb Curry: 10/10

always like coming here for the mixed grill

Fantastic food and service. One of the best Indian restaurant that I have been to.

The best has thing about here is the customer service. The waiter was very attentive and kind. He is just a genuinely happy person and it reflected in the service he provided. The food was great. I recommend 20/10.

Let me start by saying I am very fussy with Indian food, as I’m used to home cooking. Takeaways and restaurants I don’t find authentic, much to my disappointment. I’ve tried most Indian’s in Coventry now lol and I’m always let down. Recommended this place by a friend. YUM! I added notes for Desi style, so not sure if that made a difference or not, but it was banging! Palak paneer - perfect. Cheese chilli naan - delicious. Planning to come in to eat in 2 weeks with a friend, but I can see Masala Jacks being a problem for me wanting to order all the time! Impressed!

Had our Christmas party here. Service and staff were excellent

The food is consistently great, always fresh, and the curries have different bases setting them apart from other restaurants which have similar tastes for each dish. What sets the place apart is the personal touch from the manager, Maz, who consistently takes the time to speak with customers, ensuring their satisfaction. Moreover, the prices are reasonable, making Masala Jacks a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a great curry/mixed grill without breaking the bank. Highly recommend.

Really nice place. The staff are so friendly and they're always there when we need them. The atmosphere is nice and comfy. Food is amazing. Nice Indian cuisine. Nice lil gem of a place.

Small and simple restaurant with good food and service. If you would like spicy food don't forget mention the spice levels at the time of ordering!!!

I recently had a delightful experience at this curry house that truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. While they don't sell alcohol, the unique BYOB policy, along with the complimentary glass service, adds a personal touch. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the mixed grill dish. It was a flavorful symphony of perfectly grilled meats, each bite bursting with authentic spices. The diverse selection of meats showcased the chef's expertise, and the portion size was generous, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall positive vibe of the restaurant. Whether you're a curry connoisseur or a first-timer, this place is a hidden gem that promises a delightful culinary journey. I highly recommend trying their mixed grill for a truly indulgent and memorable meal. Cheers to a fantastic dining experience!

I’ve had many a takeaway from here and it’s always been excellent! The lamb and the spices are cooked to my liking, cannot fault any of it!

Worst lamb chops ever , full of fat and chewy and cold , wrecked my birthday meal picking up from here

Been to many Indian restaurants in Birmingham and Coventry and this place is up there with the best of them, the chicken madras and tikka masala was spot on, great service too, would definitely come back...

Travelled all the way from Milton Keynes to go back to Masala Jacks for the mixed grill. They did not disappoint!! The sizzler was amazing! Also took my international friends who were mind blown by the food! 100% recommend. Taz made us feel very welcome and checked in with us regularly👍🏽

My 3rd visit this year and every single time I've walked away with a full stomach and big smiles. From food to service, it hits perfection. The manager is friendly and personally ensures all customers are okay with their meals, service is quick and food tastes delicious too (I'm a fussy eater). Would recommend reserving a table in advance if you require a bigger table.

Very impressed, called Danny up and was great on the phone, really friendly and good service. Food was top notch and well priced. Choc and heated hand wipes were a really nice touch definitely coming back 👏

Banging traditional curry! This place was reccomended by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Terrific traditional food. Remember it's BYOB.

First time visit on a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. We visited early evening to find the restaurant busy but staff were welcoming and attentive. Complimentary poppodoms accompaniments were promptly presented whilst we selected our meals. Our waiter was knowledgeable and I particularly liked that we were asked how spiced we liked our food. Food is prepared in a traditional manner without the use of colourants and was really tasty. I couldn't fault the atmosphere, food or service and will definitely return.

Really nice food, honestly couldn't fault it. Polite and friendly staff. Definitely recommend Masala Jack's

What an amazing little place . The staff are extremely friendly. Food is fantastic. It has become our new regular . Would highly recommend this place

First time brining my family here , we were greeted as you walked through the door . Service spot on. Staff checking in every now and again to ensure we were ok asked if we needed anything . Overall a friendly welcoming atmosphere . Food was amazing and bought out in a good amount of time considering it was a Friday night and busy ! Will recommend Masala Jacks to my friends and family . Thank you once again to all the Masala Jacks Team , we will be back again soon 🙂

Very helpfull staff great food 👌

Absolutely 💯 amazing food been ordering from here for years you can't beat the quality of the food, top chef there all the staff there brilliant delivery service always on time

On arrival, one of the team opened the door for us. They brought us a poppadom each without my table asking for any. Drinks were ordered, and we all had a jug each. We all chose to have a starter. Then three of us had curry, and the fourth had lamb chops. I ordered a cheese garlic nan, it wasn't very cheesy and it was a bit thin. And although I couldn't eat all my dinner the evening out was enjoyable.

Great indian restaurant. There is a reason it has been around so long.

Food is average .. with the recent price hike on the menu I feel the taste of food and quantity could increase !! Had the butter chicken...lacked the smokey chicken tikka pieces which is key to this dish ... Just found chicken with red food colouring ...

Staff were super friendly, the place was very clean and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend this place

Great guys. Food and service is always consistently great!

Good authentic food and service.

best food in town,excellent taste and good customer service

Best Indian food I've had in ages

My visit to Masala Jacks in Coventry was a delightful adventure into the heart of Indian cuisine. The authentic flavors of each dish transported me to different regions of Pakistan. The diverse menu catered to a variety of palates, and the flavorful curries were a definite highlight. The tantalizing spices used in the dishes left me craving for more. ESCPECIALLY THE LENTIL CURRY DAALThe Mixed Grill was a treat for both the eyes and taste buds, perfectly cooked and wonderfully marinated.

Amazing Food. One of the best Desi food I've had in Coventry after being to so many places. Authentic taste, great hospitality and everything is made fresh. Complementary Papadam are cherry on the top.

Tried this from a recommendation and I have to say it didn't dissapoint!!! The food was absolutely amazing and it was great service, very reasonably priced aswel! Definitely worth giving it a try and we will definitely be returning 😊

I recently dined at this fantastic curry place, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I stepped in, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was taken care of. Now, let's talk about the food. The curries were simply outstanding, bursting with rich and authentic flavors that left me craving for more. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the chef's expertise and passion for Indian cuisine. But what surprised me the most was the exceptional steaks they offered. Cooked to perfection, these steaks were juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection – a delightful fusion of Indian and Western culinary delights. And how could I forget the mango lassi? It was undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. Creamy, smooth, and infused with the irresistible sweetness of ripe mangoes – a perfect complement to the bold and spicy flavors of the curries and the steaks. In summary, this curry place is a true gem that offers a delightful blend of Indian and Western culinary delights. The curries are remarkable, the steaks are amazing, and the mango lassi is a must-try. Whether you're a curry enthusiast or a steak lover, this place will undoubtedly impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more. I can't wait to return for another delightful dining experience.

I usually get my takeaway from here but had never eaten in despite this being close to home. The staff were very attentive, suggesting side dishes that would go well with our meal. Love that they ask you how spicy you would like your food (as a takeaway as well as in restaurant) the food was super tasty as always, the service was great. We left feeling full and satisfied with the meal - its not overpriced either.

All staff our welcoming humza staff member served us very politely and very well mannered. Food was very good too. Excellent service

Whenever we are in the area we Masala Jack's. Great food and friendly service

Visited last night, outstanding food, outstanding service, outstanding atmosphere, well done and will be back shortly, thanks!!

Once again Masala Jacks excels by far the best butter chicken we have ever tasted amazing food service very friendly nothing is too much trouble keep up the good work will be back very soon

I've been to Masala Jack lots of times, and every time, it's been 100% Highly recommended 👌🏽

Food was simply amazing, large portions and we couldn't finish what we ordered.

Food was great and the service would defo recommend

Food was amazing as was the service

Same base sauce for everything we ordered and it was disgusting

The food is absolute woeful, like tasting weetabix without the the milk! Shut the place down

Great food and great service 👍🏻

A hidden gem , delicious food, example of high end customer service . I was in work trip and staying in Coventry for four nights . I googled restaurants around and found out the menu is appalling , I popped in there and continued four nights dinner there . It’s was externally busy all the four nights. However l, staff warmly welcomed all the guest and left them to the door when they were leaving . There were no long waits for the food it was served in right time and was served sizzling hot. When it come to food I have high standards but I felt it super delicious . Hamza and dani are amazing guys I must appreciate they way they care customers. Thanks a lot guys . I will be returning for sure Strongly recommend!!!!

Food was good . Very respectable priced

Heard the grill platters are best. But had a chicken tikka fried rice, which was disastrous especially it tastes raw turmeric. That must be the worst fried rice I ever had which looks like a biriyani!

Thank you the food was terrific, my family loved it, Thanks again

I was with my friend in this restaurant. The restaurant was congested. The food was tasty. Unfortunately, no dessert was served. We were told that they won’t serve any dessert, not sure what was the reason. The staff and the owner were very friendly. Alcohol is not served in this restaurant. But if anyone wants to drink alcohol, he/she can get it from outside and can drink inside.

Been twice now after previously ordering on just eat but thought we would go out to eat. Food choices are really good. Big shout out Hamzah,Dubabo,Sam for great customer service....would highly recommend but not licensed so don't serve Alcohol but they don't mind if you either bring your own or pop to off licence 2 min walk up the road. Food is awesome
