Mayur Indian Restaurant in Carrickfergus

i have to admit, i had to visit this place twice during my stay in NIR because of the delicious food, excellent service and hospitable staff. highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. Patia is to die for! Love this place!

Great food! Lamb karahi was delicious!!!

Went downhill from they opened in Larne.

Service disappointing. Since the Larne restaurant opened I think the Carrickfergus restaurant has been neglected. Service rude and not very friendly. Food also lacking in flavour and portion sizes poor. Dev needs to spend a bit more time in the Carrickfergus restaurant and get it back up to the high standard that it used to have.

Service was friendly attentive and quick.Food was good and well cooked.Good value for money..Best restaurant in area

Visited in July-24 whilst enjoying a short break in Carrickfergus. Pickle-tray and Poppadoms as an appetiser, Chicken Pakora starter, Lamb Bhuna main with a Garlic Nan; washed down with an ice cold Indian beer. Food absolutely delicious and piping hot. Friendly, efficient service with a smile. Nice ambiance and certainly good value for money too! Will definitely return on our next visit to the town. Highly recommended! Thank you.

Excellent food! Highly recommend

Excellent food and very nice and helpful staff. Vegetarians and carnivores left very happy.

I love this restaurant. The food and service are always excellent!

Great Indian restaurant. Spicy food!

The best Indian restaurant in Carrickfergus. I highly recommend the Lamb Biryani.

Always great food and friendly staff

Delicious food. I love to visit when I visit Carrickfergus. Edit. Like every year, since 2019, I visit this place and food is still really delicious. On Thursday i had Tikka Masala and it was heaven. Yesterday I went there only for onion dip because it's my favorite. It sounds for people funny but it's first what I am thanking when I visit Carrickfergus :D thank you for gave me solid portion yesterday.. I had really rough day and it makes my day much better. Thank you so much! You're guys the best! <3 I will be back in 2 months when I back for holidays.

Food is sublime. Well worth a visit. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.

I've had both takeaway and sat in for meals here. The staff are always very friendly and the food is top tier

Seated quickly, very attentive and friendly staff, would highly recommend.

What has happened here ? We used to go regularly for a great lunch at great value and we were looking forward to another. Unfortunately on this occasion we were very disappointed. The main meal was poor with lamb and chicken in the curry sauce cut into very large regular shaped cubes as if they had just come from an industrial process. Tasteless as well. In fact it was difficult to tell the difference between lamb and chicken. I hope things improve but I could not recommend to others at the moment. I also noticed that the hygiene rating was shown as 5* on the menus but only 4* on the entrance door- I assume there has been a lapse in attention at some time. However, the restaurant was spotless and the service superb. Just a pity about the quality of the main.

This place is the best Indian restaurant about, the food, service and price is fantastic and worth a visit.

First time eating here was a bit weary when seeing the 3 star rating but honestly could not fault the place staff were excellent really really clean restaurant and toilets an food was beautiful this restaurant should definitely b4 far more than a 3 a star for sure

I have been here a few times and always enjoy what I ordered. The service is excellent even when it is busy. The food is full of flavor and the lamb is very tender. The prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for good curry dishes.

I've been meaning to try this Indian restaurant in the heart of Carrickfergus for a while now. A few people had recommended it so I was confident that it would be good and it was! All of our meals were really tasty and service was really fast. The view of the castle is quite special too! If you are in the Carrickfergus area definitely give it a go.

We were on a weekend break down in Islandmagee and wanted an Indian. Reviews were excellent for Mayur and they weren't wrong. The only negative is the very bright restaurant lighting which spoils any atmosphere. In the summer you'd be looking at the Lough and Castle across the road. Food was superb. Sauces were creamy full of flavor and rich. We would go out of our way to return here. Very good indeed.

Very good quality and large portions.

The Mayur is by far the best Indian restaurant in Carrickfergus and beyond. Dev and his family offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere coupled with absolutely delicious food and cobra beer. The early bird menu during the week is excellent value!

Best Indian Restaurant in the wider area... I don't know anywhere where you would get the service and sublime food tasting experience that the Mayur brings... it is something else. I know people who travel from Holywood Co. Down to dine-in here, it really is that good.

It's real amazing.i never taste food like mayur Indian restaurant Carrickfergus .

Great food and amazing service.

Love this place. Our group of 4 had a lovely meal there last night. Food is great. Probably my favourite restaurant in Carrick.

Had an absolutely fantastic meal this evening, the food is of top quality you'll not regret paying this restaurant a visit!

Thee best in town. Very friendly staff eager to help in any way. We always get what they recommend on the day, this has helped us try different dishes we wouldn't have before. Never had a bad meal

Best Indian takeaway/restaurant for miles

Best in Carrick, food is excellent, staff are very hard working and very friendly. A very popular place which we would highly recommend. The quality of their food is the best in Northern Ireland. If there was an improvement to make I would hire a manager to look after reservations, seating, accounts, and all computer work associated with the restaurant, they would be an asset.

Food amazing, staff lovely and beautiful restaurant

First visit here, for lunch - 14.95 3 course menu- very good food (especially the chilli nan I ordered!) Would recommend trying it out!

Always a great meal and great service at this family run restaurant. Well worth a visit if you are in the area

The menu has text of a good size, making it easily readable. I had the lamb tikka mushroom dopiaza with boiled rice. One slight surprise: the lamb tikka was £12.95, and the boiled rice was £2.75 more. In many places the rice would be included in the price of your main course. I didn’t care; the cost was what I’d expect for a very enjoyable meal, a total of £15.70. The food here is great.

we have dined here once a week since the place opened. I guess that's about 450 times. I've never been disappointed and know that the Mayur always aim for excellence. Try the chattinad or the Naga and maybe a side of Aloo saag. Thanks for all the delectable meals/drinks and good company we have enjoyed at the Mayur as you reach your ninth anniversary

Comprehensive menu. Poppadoms were accompanied by 3 tasty dips, the salsa one being very spicy. Onion bhajis were good & accompanied with another spicy sauce. The mains were delicious & full of flavourful tender meat. Staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

Not reviewed on here for a while. Everything has been pretty standard Untill now. This is by far the best Indian food I have ever had. Wife agreed. Just outstanding people and food. Loved it

Booked a table for 7.30. A booking of 4 who arrived after us got a table. By 8 pm we were still not seated. A couple arrived without a booking . The owner indicated there was a table for them. I reminded owner, again, we had BOOKED for 7.30, the owner then advised us to share with the other couple!!! Poor customer service and obviously overbooked themselves!!Very disappointing with the Mayur. We were regular customers both to the restaurant and takeaway. We walked out and will not be back. Found another Indian restaurant in Carrick and had a lovely meal there instead. If I could give 0 rating tonight to The Mayur I would have!!!

This is honestly the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. I went with a hungry teenager and we tried a number of dishes - each one better than the next!! A must do.

Genuinely unbelievable. A hidden gem in Carrickfergus with affordable prices and delicious authentic Indian food. Cheesey garlic naan is a must. I’ll be a regular #bosh

This a hidden gem! Best Indian meal ever had in Northern Ireland! Staff are lovely and welcoming. Relaxed atmosphere. Was here with my husband, but would take children, family friendly. Reasonably priced. Looking forward to coming back.

Was there on Sunday night with my 2 sons and the whole experience was 1st class. The food was outstanding, and the staff are on the ball no matter what your needs are. Brilliant!

Consistently brilliant Look no further if you want a fresh tasty delicious meal Can highly recommend the pawn starter always cooked to perfection I live in England and every time I visit my family we come here. That’s all you need to know!!!

The food is excellent value, delicious and the service was great. There is nothing they could improve on. Chicken pakora is especially good and the lamb was very tender

One of the few places that was open on the day of the British Queen's funeral - fortunately as we were touring N Ireland on vacation. This family-run Indian opposite the castle served the usual English-style Indian food and some interesting specials that I wish I'd had the time to sample! The food was very tasty, rich and flavoursome. A small complaint might be the slow service as the youngsters saw fit to chat at length to their dining friends rather than see if we needed something - perhaps because the place was almost empty.

Unser Restaurant "gleich nebenan" war ausgebucht, wir mussten uns in Carrickfergus eine Alternative suchen und fanden glücklicherweise dieses indische Restaurant gegenüber dem castle. Sehr freundliche und kundige Beratung (wie scharf darf es denn sein ...) und wir hatten eine tolle Linsensuppe und die verschiedensten Gerichte, die wir untereinander austauschten. Der Abend war gerettet 😉

Excellent experience. Very friendly welcome and great atmosphere. The food and the service was superb. Very highly recommended.

Visited here with my fiancé, this is our third visit. Our Previous two visits where exceptional and this third time was no different. Saturday night was really busy so we waited to be seated at our table which took around 10mins, understandable. I’d advise on weekends to book a table in advance as Saturday was extremely busy but the servers and the kitchen staff coped really well under pressure. My fiancé had the madras with garlic cheesy nan she adores this as it’s her third time having it. I went for something different goanese prawn which was very spicy but the owner lets you know If the dish is spicy or not my tolerance to spice is quite high so no issue. Too sum up, Both our meals again went down really well and we can’t wait for our next visit.

On entering the owner Dev was so very welcoming and chatted with us as he showed us to our table. Our waitress Beth again very personable and friendly. Food was amazing and delicious. Choice of drinks brilliant good selection of wine and also serve alcohol...

Delicious food, experienced, courteous and efficient staff. Dining at the Mayur is a must, it’s Indian food at its best.

Very friendly and very polite as soon as toy walk in It had just opened when we went in and when the food came out we were not disappointed I will not be a stranger next time when I am in Carrickfergus

Came to the Mayur without a booking on a Wednesday evening. Wasn't too busy and were able to get a table for two. Service was relaxed (but not slow) and very friendly. Food was excellent and served piping hot with hot plates (nothing worse than...

I decided on this restaurant as it is a local business and the exterior of the restaurant looked well kept. I'm glad I did, as the interior is spotless and exceptionally well presented. Location is stunning also- directly opposite the castle, so in terms of...

Suggested by a friend. Food was great. Good value. Helpful staff. Highly recommend this establishment.

This is the first time I've travelled to Carrickfergus, I stayed over the road in a hotel, the receptionist mentioned one of the guests eats here all the time , I must say the food was plenty full and was very hot, I always have...

My Wife and I visit Carrickfergus for an over night stay. Decided to give the Indian restaurant a try and weren't disappointed. Food all tasted wonderful and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Will be back again for our next trip into...

Just had lunch in the restaurant it was absolutely beautiful and quality and quantity for money 👍👍👍brilliant staff and surroundings, would definitely recommend lunch or dinner 🌟🌟 have been before and will be back many thanks 👍👍

I ordered my takeaway for 6 pm collection but the guy took it down for a 7pm pick up so had a 35 min wait on my tea, as a good will gesture the assistant give me back the price of the meal. So impressed...

Indian cuisine at it's finest. Great menu selection. All our choices were delicious. Service was prompt and friendly, staff were chatty and helpful. Comfortable relaxed surroundings, convenient town centre location. Will visit again. Excellent 👌🏽

We called in after a few drinks at Ownies and early enough to get the early bird. 3 courses for £16.95 (I think) with wine or beer. Absolutely gorgeous. The place was spotless and service excellent. Will definitely be back.

Great to see this place open again after the pandemic. Food is as good as ever, service is great and the cost is not heavy on the pocket.

The Mayur was open in August 2020, and three of went there to eat. This place does very good food, and you’re sure of a warm welcome every time. I liked my meal, and we took an enjoyable walk along the Carrick seafront afterwards.

I generally come with my family and tonight it was just myself and a friend. We had a great evening and food was top notch as always! Dev and team are brilliant they always make the kids feel welcome & are brilliant with my son's...

After driving past this restaurant many times we always thought it looked a bit drap from the outside but thought we would try it anyway. Once inside we totally forgot about the outside as the inside was lovely. The restaurant was very busy and we had booked which I'm glad we did. The starters where excellent and the mains outstanding. The manager was very friendly and welcoming as we're all the staff. We returned to the restaurant a week later and once again booked as it was busy (Saturday night) everything was as we remembered EXCELLENT. We have found our local go ti restaurant and would highly recommend but book in advance.

Yet again a wonderful, faultless meal, thank you to all! The service & the food are excellent. The best Indian for miles 😊

Went during the week for the “eat out” deal. The place was full, but service ran very smoothly with everything coming in a timely manner. Food was, as usual, very good with portions and prices remaining unchanged. Definitely the best local Indian.

We would always get a takeaway from Mayur. My hubby and i love it!I hope this place never changes as its the best Indian food we've ever had and we've tried a few!Keep up the Great service and Compliments to the Chefs :)Hopefully will get in for a meal in restaurant soon !The McDonalds :)

As always a braid range of menu. Food piping hot and tasty. Staff friendly and efficient as always. My only negative for the first time writing about Mayur. There doesn’t seem to be any reduction in the number of tables from before Covid. Personally for me too close

There last night with three friends and had a brilliant meal from starters to Mains. Great beer and Dev and his family make you welcome and vert attentive. To be honest We go at least once a month really because we have never had a bad meal and service is five star.

We had our first meal out since lockdown. Up until lockdown we visited this restaurant around once per week. Since lockdown we got a carryout. Once the restaurant has been allowed to open we have waited The welcome, the menu, the food were even better than we remembered. The food is excellent and all the front of house hygiene and social distancing measures are in place. We were made very welcome in this family run restaurant which made us very comfortable.

Wonderful food, friendly staff, great service. Glad to see it open for siting in again, we will be back again.

We usually sit in but were happy to be able to get a takeaway from our favourite Indian. Food was great as usual and really generous portions. Even some left for tomorrow. Can't wait to return. Thanks guys.

Thank goodness to see this open again, even if it is only for carry outs. I've had to go to average Indian restaurants while the mayur was closed. My order on Sunday was simply delicious. Best Indian restaurant around for miles.

Phoned at 5.30 ordered 2 mains + pilau rice + plain nan asked if I could pick up at 7PM. You also get free popadoms and dip. No problem I have been to this restaurant many times but this was the first time take out. Food standard was very high as usual Pick up system worked well social distancing marks on pavement. Food hot and very very enjoyable when we got it home.

We went in on recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. Starters and mains were delicious and service attentive and friendly.

The food here is amazing; if you like Indian food you won’t be disappointed. By far the best Indian in the area!! With incredible food (the lamb is sensational) and great service, I can not recommend this restaurant highly enough! You won’t be disappointed.

I brought some friends who had never eaten here. I told them the food and the welcome in The Mayur are very good. Guess what? They all agreed that the food and the welcome in The Mayur were very good. I ate the Mayur Special Korma, which the menu says is "chicken tikka, lamb tikka and king prawns; mixed with mild spices, in a rich creamy sauce with a dish of Baileys Cream." Really liked it. £14.95. For dessert I tried the velvety mint torte. Unusual, like ice cream but dry, it wasn't all melting and runny like ice cream would be. "Ice cream nesting on a chocolate base, drizzled with chocolate and showered with chocolate flakes." £3.75. Of course I really liked their garlic naan and poppadoms, too.The welcome is the key ingredient, the owner is irresistibly friendly. If you haven't eaten here, you should.

Must admit that I came here with the greatest of expectations. And I must say that the Mayur lived up to all 3 that I came with. Food, interior and the service . Could not have asked for any better. Will be back and may be try the Mayur lunch menu next time.

I had heard great things about this restaurant so while in the area we decided to call in for lunch. Fantastic choice on their lunch menu, 3 courses for £10.95. Service was friendly and food arrived quickly, chicken pakora to start for us both followed by a lamb Jalfrezi and lamb tikka masala with pilau rice. Portion sizes were very generous for lunch, the pakora was beautiful and very fresh. The lamb in both curries was delightful, melting in your mouth and both sauces delicious. We finished off with coffee and ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. Will definitely return for an evening visit!

Once again another beautiful meal at Mayur. Every table taken but staff never seem stressed they are always polite and super friendly. I asked for a dish which wasn't on the menu. This was no problem at all. The owner thanked us for our continued support as they were open 5 years this week and gave us 10% off our bill. Lovely gesture. Hopefully they will have many more years to come. A great asset to Carrick. Love it

First time in Mayur last night. Great food. Naan bread perfect. Tandoori really tasty.Friendly husband, wife and son team

love this curry house, food is great and the staff are very friendly. They have a 3 course lunch menu for £9.95. House wine is very nice, any other like Penot Grigio is pricey

Well what an incredible meal! We had our first visit to your wonderful restaurant. The food was amazing, we were warmly welcomed and the staff were first class. Definitely be back soon.

Excellent food. Slow delivery but worth the wait. Poppadoms and dips to nibble on free of charge. Will definitely return.

I don’t usually bother writing reviews that simply parrot what others have said, but I’m making an exception here because this place is truly exceptional.

Firstly I would like to say how polite and professional all of the staff and management are. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and throughout our visit. More importantly the food was magnificent, freshly made and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant 100%

Food is always amazing! Never had a bad meal. Nicest food I’ve had since India. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

As always, never disappointed, great food, great atmosphere and efficient friendly staff. Great value for money as-well.

Took my wife out for an evening meal great food and fantastic service and all round atmosphere Thank you

The staff here kept a table for us until 10.15 at night when we had had a long day at the Open golf championship. We were given a delicious meal very well cooked and the staff were so nice to us. What a great asset to Carrickfergus.

This was my first visit in a while, but I must go more often. Superb starters and mains. Staff are very helpful, and explain all the spices that come with each dish. Good portions, and value for money. Still can't work out though why they don't have their menus on their website

Best Indian in Carrick! Love the chicken tikka masala, pilau rice and keema naan. So fresh and never had a bad meal, service always very fast and staff are very friendly!

The world loves this place. We booked a table for Saturday night. I had the chicken rogan josh. Had my lips all tingling by the end of the meal, so it was an interesting dish. I didn't order a starter; their main course is a full meal in itself. I like the food here, and the welcome from the owner is always a bonus. I did not notice my seat, so it must have been good. Excellent service. We parked in the alleyway just past the door, for free.

Waited a full hour for 4 buttered chickens. Came home and one of the tubs didn't even have chicken in it. The tubs of mango chutney were delicious, except they hadn't given us any poppadoms to dip in them. The person who took our order stopped half-way through to answer the phone, then again to hand out a collection order.

Well!!!! What a fantastic meal poppydums were served with chutneys then the drinks we had starters of king prawn purée which were fantastic we had chicken tikka,jalfrezi, chicken korma and a rogan josh would definitely go again when we visit carrickfergus

I have eaten in this restaurant many times always excellent service and great food and if you can't eat it all they kindly box it for you to take home I would recommend to everyone go on give it a try

Have eaten in the mayur a few times now, it is a really friendly place, the service is fab, you know it's good when the manger remembers exactly how you like nan bread. Food is great and it's reasonably priced.
