Mastab's Indian Resturant & Takeaway in Craven

Absolutely fantastic place! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I asked for a spicy curry and a member of staff recommend I try Naga (I had it with paneer) delicious! Found the prices to be very reasonable too. Will definitely return next time we are in Skipton.

We visited Mastabs last night the 3rd August 2024. The whole experience was superb. The food was exceptional and the service. The ambience inside is brilliant. Best curry house in Skipton. Can highly recommend.

Table booked for 9pm, some people in queue in front of us said they had not booked but were seated before us. We were shown to table at 9:10pm. Starters were very small portions and lamb was so tough it could not be chewed. Main course arrived about 1 hour after ordering and again portions were very small although tasted okay. Service was chaotic. Not recommended.

Went after reading reviews . Was busy enough with lots of older couples . Starter was flat and not very tasty . Main course lacked flavour and meat

Lovely restaurant, excellent food and the house Merlot was wonderfully smooth. So not only was the food lovely it was really good value. I think for a local restaurant it is exceptional value. The staff are lovely and attentive as well.

we visited Easter Sunday and i did ring the week before to book a table it was busy so glad i did staff were all friendly and we wasn't waiting at all food came quickly it was all hot and nicely presented it all tasted fantastic and good size potions if we were in Skipton we would go again and i will be recommending to friends as well

Amazing selection of dishes. We had takeaway once and dined in a couple of days later. Every thing we had was full of flavor, good portions and fantastic prices. Very friendly, professional service. I’ve paid twice as much elsewhere for food not nearly as good. We’ll definitely eat here again next time we’re in Skipton.

Well we went Saturday night.. it was lovely we had the mixed started and 2 chefs special curries, each different we had to take the curries home as the starters were very big, very tasty. the staff very pleasant and attentive. would recommend it, nice food nice place nice people thanks for having us Julie

One of the nicest curry we have had for a long time. The staff were great, we ordered chicken livers which were beautiful. Also ordered chicken makhani and chicken pathia, both were extremely good. Great price too!!

Booked at table for 7pm, arrived dead on 7pm and got told to wait 30 mins. Came back 30 mins later to be told our table was given away and could we sit separately as a group. Offered no form of apology. Shocking service.

Been before and really nice,staff polite. Clean.easy to find in centre Food is lovely and nothing is too much trouble.Good choice of beers

Excellent food- really good quality ingredients and asked for recommendations which were really good. Service was outstanding- we did not book and they were really busy but managed to fit us in.

Found the food very tasty,the coconut rice was lovely, korma was creamy,coconut,just the right amount off spices! Naan was tasty,got free poppadoms

Fabulous Curries at Outrageously good Prices - Every Dish that I have tried has been 10/10 and not much more expensive than a microwave curry from Tescos - Also next Level Poppadoms

WHEN VISITING SKIPTON WE ALWAYS VISIT HERE FOR A CURRY. CALLED IN ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY BUSY THEY FOUND US A TABLE. WE HAVE HAD CURRIES IN EVERY PLACE IN BRITAIN WE HAVE VISITED BUT HONESTLY MASTABS HAS TO BE IN THE TOP FIVE. GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA YOU WONT REGRET IT .

Loved this food several years ago, but not so good now. Much more expensive and delivery charge high. Curry very glutinous with bits of corn in it. Very disappointing compared to previous years.

We had a take out to be delivered more than once this month and both times we have been told the wait would be around 1 hour or before but both times we have waited 2hrs or more. We have been unable to contact them to enquire where the food is on the mobile we placed the order on, we rang on a different mobile and got straight through and told it was on its way but still waited another hour - very poor customer service

Have often visited Mastabs when in Skipton and have always been thoroughly satisfied with my numerous meals there over the years and have rated Mastabs as the best Asian restaurant of the four in skipton BUT on my last visit the quality of the food has taken a turn for the worse. I wonder "Are they now buying in their Indian base sauce from a catering supplier?" because the food they serve is now the same as the other Indian restaurants, with no discernable difference in taste between a chicken dopiazza and a chicken madras (only the heat level is different) and the consistency of the (bland) sauce not as it is as if cooked to order in the restaurant kitchen. Also, in the past you could hear the busy kitchen preparing your food and could smell the heady aroma of Indian food being cooked - but not on my last visit.. I wholly understand that Mastabs, the same as most other restaurants are struggling to control costs and their prices remain very low but when cost cutting affects quality then it results in poor value for money and dis-satisfied customers.

I brought my husband here for his birthday as we were staying in the area. I’m glad I chose this Indian as the food was lovely and very reasonably priced! Staff provided a good service too. I would definitely return again if in the area. Thank you

Visited here tonight. Food was great. It was tasty, plentiful and there was a great choice. It was quiet so our food came quickly. We couldn’t eat it all so asked for takeaway containers which they gave us. Prices were reasonable. If we lived round here this would be our go to Indian.

Fantastic food, lovely staff, fast and efficient service. Couldn’t fault the place. Will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing food and cracking service from the chaps at Mastabs last night. Accommodated our party of 17 without any issue. We were so well looked after and the drinks/food timings were perfecto. Abul the manager and the staff made us all feel like family. Thank you so much. Can’t wait until the next one!.

A very busy Saturday night at Mastabs with lots of Christmas party groups. We managed to get a table thankfully, and were glad we did. The food was great and reasonably priced. No problem for vegans- double checking things with the kitchen. The staff were working flat out but were really friendly. Lovely lads - couldn’t rate them too highly. Thank you!

Having just moved to Skipton, we chose Mastabs to show-off the town to our visiting friends - we could not have chosen better. The restaurant was busy, but the staff went out of their way to make space for us. Food was exceptional, great value, very helpful staff answered all questions we had on food. Two of the best fish dishes we've ever had

We had a holiday in Skipton and popped in for a takeaway. Staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. Very good value. Would definitely recommend

called in on a random Thursday. a few tables in but fairly quiet. lovely staff served us quickly and the food was delicious! not expensive, not pretentious - just good food!

Called in on a Friday night, excellent selection of dishes. Friendly staff, great food and drinks.Would recommend to all.

This is a restaurant that we have visited many times and the food is always on point. The staff are lovely and very friendly. Always one that I would recommend.

Absolutely love Mastab’s, the food is some of the best I’ve had, we’ve been a few times now with friends and family and never had a bad meal. Taj Magal tava is a must. The restaurant itself is quite small but don’t let that put...

Good quality, tasty food with friendly and attentive staff. Booked here whilst visiting Skipton for the weekend based on the good reviews and it really didn’t disappoint - would definitely recommend and will certainly revisit if staying in the area again.

Food excellent (the best Indian food we've had in a long time), staff very friendly and helpful and very reasonably priced. We all enjoyed it so much we're going back!

Very nice meal and staff very pleasant we had mixed starter and chicken and king prawn dopiaza beautiful, all the food came hot and also chapatis hot and fresh

Delicious food, varied menu with something for everyone. Fantastic service. Good value for money. Highly recommend. Everything was served freshly cooked and very tasty. Went on a Monday night, felt well looked after.

Very cramped. We were seated right next to the bar when other tables were available. All dishes seemed to be cooked in the same sauce,and hot or mild if you wanted. The onion baji were flat rather than round and crispy. Staff pleasent, but wouldn't...

Very good tasty food and attentive staff, great menu with loads of choice. We really enjoyed the whole experience and will return next time we are here.

Very nice curries. Shame no-one else was in to enjoy them on the night we went! Get in there folks! I don't really have more to say but have to pad it out to get the number of characters in!

Have dined here several times pre-lockdown and have always been impressed with the service and quality of the food so after over a year since last here decided to see if it was still as good. Popadoms, pickle tray, mixed starters (2) chicken dopiazza, chicken...

Fantastic service. Fantastic food. Fantastic experience. No more to be said. Well done Mastab's. Keep up the great work your doing and you'll be there for years to come.

Great old school type curry house with great staff and freshly cooked tasty curry from a comprehensive menu. We will definitely be returning.

Very friendly staff, good curry with wide choice available, restaurant itself could do with a makeover. Would recommend for anyone looking for a god value curry.

We came here on a Wednesday evening during half term. The food was tasty, but very salty. We rarely use salt, so I think we're probably overly sensitive to it. When the waiter came at the end of the meal my husband told them the...

Absolutely fabulous, the best Indian restaurant we have been so far. Food was fantastic, so delicious it’s indescribable. Staff was very nice and accommodating to all needs. Only shame is that they are not local to where we live 😭 so far my favourite restaurant...

Just tucked into a delicious meal with my husband and son. Delivered exactly one hour after ordering, as predicted. Delivery man was super friendly and smiley. Food was truly delicious, great deal for under £30 incl delivery with enough to feed us at lunch tomorrow...

THE BEST curry I have had in a long time!! My boyfriend and I were super happy with it. I'm moving to Skipton this year and this will definitely be my go to choice for Indian in the future. Great flavours, good quality meat and...

Went for dinner with my family, the food was mouth watery and fresh. Service from the front of the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended

Food was good, prices good, quick delivery, even though lots of people around. Helpful staff when ordering, beer as well.

Had a meal here whilst in Skipton for the weekend , great food and reasonably priced ... would recommend

Had a takeaway as staying here for a walking weekend. Ordering was easy and the delivery was very prompt. The food was also top notch and easy to recommend to anyone. The prices are extremely reasonable as a bonus.

Fabulous food, great price, and delivered to our barge at the time promised. Exactly what we needed.

If you look back at my reviews you will see that I gave Mastabs four stars. This is our reason for returning tonight but what a disappointment. We wanted to eat at 19:15 so we ordered via just eat at 18:00. Our order arrived over one hour late. According to Just eat the food was on its way but after call the restaurant they hadn’t finished cooking it. Staff should realise that the customer can still hear their conversations with their colleagues when they are on the phone. I was lied to and told it was just leaving the restaurant but in the conversation he had on the phone with his colleague our food was clearly not ready yet. Also saying we are very busy isn’t a excuse. You took my money and made a commitment. If you take to much work on and can not honour you commitment that is not my issue. One hour and 30 mins late isn’t acceptable. Now down to the food. It wasn’t restaurant standard. I could of ordered from a takeaway in town and eat better for less money. Food was warm not hot. The dish in the photo should of had a salad but came with a slice of onion. Overall a very disappointing experience. Advice for owners...Just be up front with your customers. Concentrate on quality not quantity.

We visited early on a Sunday evening and were immediately impressed by the attentive and friendly staff. All the dishes we ordered were excellent and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning.

On a positive note the food was delicious, however with regard to Covid guidelines these were nil. Every table was full, people coming in for takeaways, no social distancing at all and concentration on takeaways compromises the the restaurant customers. Would return but when Covid guidelines are no longer required.

So these superstars cancelled my order yesterday an hour after we received a confirmation email. We had a nice 1.3mile walk from our hotel to collect our order only to be extremely disappointed... Domino's pizza was nice tgo

Had an enjoyable meal with my wife during a recent visit to Skipton , my haddock curry was very good, unusual to see fish curry on Indian restaurant menus these days and my wife enjoyed her chicken bhuna.The interior could do with a refurbish but other than that all ok.

we ate on Wednesday evening ,Poppadoms to start with a great home made Tamarind pickle. Both of our main dishes were excellent with great service. Its a small place so social distancing is compromised with people walking through to pick up take away orders.

Booked here whilst staying in Skipton. Booked a table for 730pm was told no tables so waited half hour for a table to be free frustrating as it was the food made up for the delay. The staff were very friendly and couldn't apologise enough. The food was really yummy very tasty with good sized portions. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal here today. Spotlessly clean, very friendly staff and gorgeous food. Highly recommended we will definately back when nearby.

After an unexpected car break down in Skipton, stumbled across Mastabs.. Our meal was delicious, the special tamarind sauce was the best!! The staff were super friendly, made us feel welcome and stayed open late for us. Even joined us for a drink in the pub after. Big love guys! Keep making wonderful food and being legendary. Peace x

My daughter has eaten here before. It’s her birthday today and she wanted a takeaway from here. It’s not my usual for a curry but it was very good. It was that good that I will be returning. Very friendly service on the phone. Reasonably priced.

Dined on the evening of 24/01/20.Called in to this restaurant and they were happy to accept a walk-in. Appreciated this as it was almost full.Skipton's a small town and all things considered we had a good Indian meal given moderate expectations.Service was okay, waiters were friendly and fairly attentive should you garner their attention. If you didn't motion their attention, you would be sat in limbo.Surroundings are shabby, the whole place needs a refit, menus are falling to pieces with my own being stained with wine and I had to use my partners to survey the pages I couldn't make out.However, all the good we ate was of a better standard than would be expected for a town centre Indian restaurant, very authentic and certainly a vast improvement over a local competitor located near the canal-side.Aesthetic improvements to the internal decor required and slight improvements to service would embellish this establishments stock value but I'd wager that they will succeed for years to come due to lack of worthy competition.

Fabulous food. I had Lamb Karahai, which was deliciously spiced, sweet rice and a cheese Naan. The only criticism, is that the poppadoms could be fresher.

We were staying in nearby hotel for a wedding and went for dinner on a Friday evening the restaurant was quite busy but we were never rushed. The waiters were young and very personableWe chose curry’s from their house specials and an amazing family coriander nan everything was freshly cooked well presented and absolutely delicious

Great food, very friendly service. Excellent choice of the menu. Really enjoyed my visit. Would definitely come again if in Skipton and would certainly recommend.

Ordered from the takeaway menu, the flavours of the food were nice, chicken tikka rogan josh, fish pakora, sweet rice and some chutneys and poppadoms. However, some of the items were missing elements that were on the menu, the sweet rice was show as coming with 'coconut & dry fruits', upon arrival there was coconut but no dried fruits, disappointing as I'm sure the fruitiness would have added a lot to the meal. The fish pakora while pleasant enough was advertised to come with a sauce that was not there, something that again would have made it that much more enjoyable.Overall I'd order again as the meal on the whole was enjoyable but I feel more attention to detail needs to be given as to what they advertise vs what they deliver.

We always visit here with our friends, it was them that recommended it.Fantastic food and we are never disappointed. Staff are great too.Cant wait til next time.

I can say that this is one of Skiptons better Indian restaurants having sampled most whilst there! Handily situated in Skipton centre, its appearance is unpretentious- an Indian restaurant from my younger days.But its appearance should not deter you.Shared the starter platter which offered a varied selection and then a Keralla chicken and naan which was nicely but not over spiced.

"I think that that was the best Indian meal that I have ever had" - my wife. And I have to say that I agreed with her!It was a very comprehensive menu, with a number of items that we had not encountered before, particularly the chef's specialities. We started with vegetable samosas and garlic mushrooms. The former were tasty but the latter were out of this world, with such a lovely variety of mushrooms.For mains, I had vegetable karahi (actually, not on the menu), whilst my wife had Mumbai masala (haddock). We each had mushroom rice (again with a wonderful selection of mushrooms), and we shared a freshly-made naan. My wife had a few glasses of Cobra and I had a few glasses of the (very tasty and keenly priced) house red.Afterwards we asked for the dessert menu to discover they don't do them. I really wish that they would reconsider this, even if it was only ice cream. Also, the first we knew that they didn't accept cards was when we noticed it on the menu. Fortunately, we had enough cash, but I wouldn't have appreciated having to traipse off to an ATM. But, at least we will be prepared next time.But the food was excellent, and the service could not be faulted. We will be back on our next visit to Skipton.

Another of those which are good but not quite very good (need a good rating), normally go to the Spice Grill when in Skipton, but as they were closed for refurb work, we decided on Mastabs, food and service were both good, as we are dirty hippy veggies we had several veggie side dishes, all were tasty and our friends lamb and chicken dishes the same.

Food was very tasty, the price was very reasonable and the staff were very accommodating and friendly, I will definitely visit this place again.

We had a lovely meal here with friends , but instead if me picking my normal go too, chicken tikka masala, i picked a special dish of lamb chops , but the sauce was just far too hot for me. The rice and nan were very good.

We visited 15th July, we had not booked in advance.

Had a lovely family meal food lovely staff friendly service really good been many times always made welcome will defiantly be back

If you like Indian food and great service Mastab’s ticks all the boxes. Forget the big chains with all the bland bought in manufactured chicken try the authentic well cooked food at Mastab’s along with the friendliest service you can ever imagine.

Really great night to celebrate a family members Silver wedding Anniversary, staff were very friendly and very helpful. They even catered for my husband who can’t eat spicey foods. The food was lovely and well presented.

We called here quite early on Tuesday evening and it wasn't particularly busy. Very polite and friendly staff and service was timely and very good. My starter, onion bhagees, was lovely and not dry, as one reviewer experienced. The main course was also tasty and well worthy of another visit.

Lovely food. Lamb Kharai highly recommended. Goes well with a nice cold pint of draught Cobra. Fast service.

Being visiting for many years and must say been a little disappointed for the last few visits BUT back to its best again this month. Can never visit friends and family without a trip to Mastab's. Lokking forward to next visit.

After reading the previous reviews we decided to have our meal at this restaurant. The food was only average and I think it is over rated. The galic nan bread and Bombay potatoes were very good. The onion bajiis were very dry and tasteless. I had tandoori king prawns and they were tasteless and overcooked. We wont be rushing back. Sorry.

Visited on a recommendation staff friendly atmosphere nice food Fabulous Good varied menu will suit any pallet

No atmosphere..terrible food..and to top it all very rude waiters. Give it a miss!..we will never visit this restaurant again.

We’d heard great reviews about the food and service at Mastab’s so decided to try for ourselves. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was 5 star! It’s not often you get personal service from the owner, who greeted us when we came in and looked after us the whole time we were there! I can see why now the restaurant is always packed and busy! Loved it so much we’re going back next week.. also the spring rolls are DELICIOUS! I had 2 portions to myself!

The food, the service, the quality and the whole experience at Mastabs never fails to amaze everytime! We’ve been going for over a year and travel from the other side of yorkshire for the chicken tikka! Would recommend it everytime!

We visited as a large party on a Friday night with the majority having the 3 course deal for £10 each. This is a good price and there was plenty to choose from on this menu.

Whether we eat in, or take away, this curry house is the best. The service in house is great, staff are lovely and friendly! The food is always very hot when we get a takeaway. The food is just delicious! From the starters, to sides, to main meal...perfect. We love it here.

Had a lovely mas biran and a chicken rogan Josh with boiled rice. The staff were friendly and helpful

We called a 6pm with a couple of friends. Service was prompt. We all went for the 3 course menu available upto 9pm.

A great Indian restaurant, good tasty selection to choose from. Vegetarian catered for and a well stocked bar.

Definitely worth it :) happy with food always , can’t wait to be back especially for the fantastic service x

Great food, lovely staff and very reasonably priced. We have been eating at this restaurant with family on a regular basis for several years now - should have provided a review ages ago! We live near Halifax and meet up with family who join us from Harrogate. A favorite place with all of us.They really take a pride in their food and service.

Come with my family at least once a month... Amazing food, friendly staff! Highly recommend to anyone!

Great food and brilliant service. Food and drink reasonably priced. Would recommend mastabas special. Very tasty!

Second visit to this venue and just as good as last time. Quiet for an early Sunday evening but this gave me a chance to have a good conversation with manager about cooking Asian food and was interested to find out how the restaurant prepared their dishes which are balanced more towards traditional homestyle cooking. Different cooking methods from many Indian restaurants but equally just as good or better. Eat here - you'll be pleased you did. Will certainly return.

Love this place amazing food fantastic service such friendly staff a must come to place for food thank you again see you again next year

In this neck of the woods, we are incredibly lucky to have some of the finest curry houses in the country. No need to travel into Bradford, we have the best right on our doorstep!
