Mehek in Staffordshire Moorlands - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A family of 8 for Christmas lunch, the experience was simply outstanding! The food was superb covering an age range of 68 years between youngest and oldest. The biggest of appetites could not quite manage all that was offered (though we gave it a good go!) and the lighter palates were just as well catered for with delicately spiced sea bass and more. Gol Goppa was a wonderful appetiser I had never experienced before which was just fantastic. Final mention for the Murgh Mossallan which was simply out of this world. Service was entertaining and outstanding as was the value of the day as a whole. Excellent from beginning to end.

Met friends between Derby and Crewe excellent restaurant with lovely tasting food very easy to drive by but well worth a visit not expensive but well worth the value of a great tasting meal

My wife and I celebrated New Year’s Eve meal at Mehek. Absolutely delicious food and fantastic atmosphere, the inclusion of the live piano music was a pleasure. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This was our second time for Christmas Day lunch and it won't be our last. Food and service was amazing, we all enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

Incredible Indian Christmas dinner. The most juicy huge prawns and authentic curry. A whole chicken. Can’t wait to visit again for genuine tasty food.

With visiting Leek again we decided to get a takeaway from Mehek for a second time. This wasn't a straight forward call and then collect, as when I called the mobile contact I was informed the restaurant staff were stuck in traffic. However they would send our order through to the kitchen staff once they received our message. There was an understandable delay when we turned up as the restaurant staff were still stuck in traffic. Despite all this going on the customer service we received was good. We thoroughly enjoyed the takeaway of Patiala Rara Lamb, Murg Makni, Achari baigun, Garlic Naan and Paratha. The stand out dish was the aubergine dish of Achari baigun so flavourful and tasty. We would recommend Mehek and we hope to return.

We travelled to Mehek on 04/11/23 as part of a 35 group from the local cricket club and as always, what a fantastic evening. Considering their was a large number of us and a busy restaurant, the food was amazing, really fresh and tasty, the service was excellent and the whole experience was just spot on. We cant recommend this place enough! A big THANK YOU to Ebu and all of his staff for a wonderful evening. We cant wait for our next visit.

Awful. Very rude. Booked a travel several hours before arriving only to be told they had no record of our booking when we arrived and refused to seat us , despite the restaurant being completely empty at the start of the evening. No apologies and couldn’t have been ruder and more unwelcoming if they tried

Lovely food - very fresh and delicious. Lovely people, great service. Big car park so parking not an issue. Very easy to find. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely superb meals, best curry I’ve had, full of flavour, excellent service, my wife’s meal was equally as good, definitely a must do for fans of Bangladeshi cuisine

What do you do when passing through an area you’re not familiar with and you fancy a curry? Well in our case we turned to Trip Advisor. This place looked promising as it scored highly and also has a 5 star food hygiene rating. Unusually it seemed to be located in an isolated spot out on the Staffordshire Moorlands, albeit on the main Leek - Ashbourne road. However when we got there (and it’s easy to spot) it all made sense as the restaurant is located in a traditional former rural pub building. As a result there are fine views, a large car park and an attractive outdoor space to the rear. The food was outstanding. Simply delicious and well cooked. The presentation was that of a high class restaurant. The meat was tender and locally sourced. The surroundings comfortable and traditional. The staff polite and attentive. You don’t get this many good reviews on TripAdvisor for no reason - we can only agree with them and add our full marks to the pile. Overall very good value for money and a location definitely worth visiting again.

Well where to start this place is amazing the food is outstanding. Can really recommend a visit you won't be disappointed. Sunday lunch set menu is outstanding and such good value for money.Ebu and his team are so a tentative and more than happy to explain any details about each dish, can't recommend this place enough.

Staff very attentive and so helpful, asked for gluten free for my daughter and they helped with menu. Food fantastic!

Amazing food, friendly attentive staff. Good atmosphere. Booked for 11 last minute. Accommodated us easily. Definitely recommend.

My son booked us in to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and he couldn't have picked a better place. The food was out of this world and second to none. The staff are amazing and nothing is to much trouble. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food served promptly and good sized portions. I felt it was a more authentic curry house than others in leek. Will visit again.

Walked in midweek and had a fabulous meal. All meals were really tasty. Lovely ambiance, friendly and laid back/relaxed feeling. The food is always top drawer whenever we have been and can’t rate it high enough! (Recommend: Salmon fillet Bangladesh style…..heavenly!)

Absolutely the best Indian food iv had. Fresh, tasty and full of flavour. Definitely worth a visit!!

Wifes birthday and we both like Indian food the food was very good apart from the chicken was not maranated enough ,this was also note'd by the table next to us ,didn't say anything as curry made up for this ,this was served on your plate (not what I like ) I like it in a side dish so as you can help your self but the flavor was very good ?. magawood67@gmail.com !

I have had a lot of Balti’s in my time but the one I had this weekend at Mehek was the best ever! Just so tasty! Food for all of us was amazing!

Called in from the way home from Alton towers. Excellent meal, one of the best Indians I have ever had, will defo call again when passing.

Excellent food found unexpectedly by the roadside. We needed a meal on a busy Saturday evening at half term when visiting the area. Having looked about Leek without finding anywhere we drove past this restaurant on our way home. They were delightful people. The food...

A family meal for a party of 12. The service was friendly and efficient, staff knowledgeable and rightly proud of their dishes. We had a varied choice, sea bass served on a banana leaf with a delicious curry sauce. The maharaja of biryani’s with mutton...

Great waiters on the ball! Food was beautiful. Best indian we have ever had in uk! Well worth the drive! Lovely!

Yet again another lovely meal tonight. We have frequented this restaurant on a number of occasions and cannot fault either the food or the service. Would highly recommend Mahek.

I have reviewed this restaurant before but it is so consistently good that I feel they deserve the positive reviews. The food was cooked to perfection. My chicken was very tender, flavored with aromatic spices. The rice was moist and tasty. The Tarka Daal was...

The rest of my party enjoyed their food which is why I didn't mark it lower. They also told me the staff were lovely when they picked up the order so nothing against the restaurant at all. I didn't have a good experience with my...

We have been to Mehek twice and each time have had a wonderful meal and the service has been professional and friendly. I can’t believe people can leave such an awful review about Mehek. We highly recommend Mehek and shall visit again very soon, it’s...

Wonderful food and great service.

The hospitality was brilliant, very attentive and made us feel welcome, my partner has a dairy intolerance, they were very knowledgeable about what she could and couldn't eat. The decor was beautiful and fit in with the style of the restaurant. The food was probably...

Unfortunately we won’t be visiting again, food was terrible, they chicken tikka was made from powder although when they were questioned about it they denied they used powder but then said they used almond powder, I also noticed that the same on a few other...

We have visited this restaurant a few times and found it to be lovely, however each time hasn’t been as good as previous visits. The last visit last night will be our last. We booked a table for 7.30pm, on arrival the reception area was...

Amazing food, friendly staff. Couldn't fault it. Had the seabass and chicken mango pickle curry. Everything we ordered had unique flavours which were perfect. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. If we lived closer we would be back on a weekly basis!

Truly memorable meal last night at Mehek. I had the Mackerel starter and Sea Bass main - both were beautifully cooked, subtly flavoured and generous portions. The host and his staff are always friendly and efficient. Well worth the effort to visit this gem of...

First time at Mehek although we live near too, food was lovely, really nice atmosphere and great service. We will be back.

Former fan, have travelled through a number of Chef offerings here. Latest: a collection as we live fairly locally. 'This is the way WE make it ' is NOT an acceptable reason for serving foods which in no way relate to the original food crafts....

We have just collected a take away meal, ( we usually eat in )take always are always never the same as eating in but not at mehek. We had a madras, a jalfrezi and a balti. Enjoyed a lovely drink while we waited and a...

Booked as a last minute decision to eat out between Xmas and New year and so glad we did. Excellent service and food. Would highly recommend.

Never missed to have our family lunch / dinner every time we visit Stoke-On-Trent. Tried their Salmon Curry, Laal Maans, Gulabi Duck, Chicken, Naan, Mango Lassi, Pappadom and Oreo Ice Cream as dessert.

While on holiday from Germany we drove past this restaurant several times and were intrigued! It feels like it's in the middle of nowhere and we wondered how it survived. We soon found out when we booked a table. The food and service are outstanding...

Wow! What can I say- this Bangladeshi restaurant never fails to amaze me . The food is exceptional and the staff go above and beyond. I have reviewed this beautiful restaurant before but I felt it needed another review at this time of year due...

I've been a few times and always had exceptional service and amazing food. Really fresh and authentic tasting. Would definitely recommend 👌

I’ve had many curries in my time (India, Sri Lanka, Caribbean, Far East) and this place lives up to the standards of the best out there… we were staying nearby celebrating our auntie’s 80th birthday tea and got peckish in the evening. The place was...

Quite simply one of the best curries I've had in a long time. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

Absolutely beautiful, very tasty and good quality produce used which you can clearly taste in the curry. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. We felt that the food and drink we had was good value for the money and similarly priced to others curry...

A great first experience here at Mehek. With both Qarma and Pabna in Leek there is a huge amount of local competition, but Mehek stands alongside these big names. I had the Captains’ Chicken curry which was delicious with family members having a range of...

Had a lovely takeaway meal at a reasonable price. If only the outside of this restaurant matched the inside! There is very little kerb appeal yet inside the restaurant looks very nice.

Super food. Everyone in our party of 14 people loved their choices. Most had never been to Mehek previously. Everyone had their specific needs met. Thank you to Mehek and especially so because it is so hard to get staff at the moment and to...

We have visited again since I last reviewed this place. The service was as good as it was before but the food we had was much better and the experience was overall very enjoyable. Would recommend, and come back again.

We were expecting great things from Mehek but we have been blown away by not only the amazing food but they fantastic staff. Their friendly nature really makes it feel special. Thank you for looking after us so well. We will be returning.

My first visit to Mehek with friends who use this restaurant regularly. Wow! The food was simply amazing and the best I’ve tasted in a long time. The service was good, staff attentive and the atmosphere was great. Thank you. Just pleased I discovered it....

First visit. Had a starter and main course. Both were exceptionally good. The starter of tandoori chicken was tasty and accompanied by an unexpectedly spicy salad. The main course was accompanied by rice which itself was delicious, before I started on the lamb and mince...

First visit for Sunday lunch buffet with friends who’d been before. Appeared light on staff but quality of food more than made up for any waiting around. Food could have been hotter but told just ask and we can spice it up to your liking...

Our first visit last night. The food was amazing. Staff are extremely courteous and helpful. Really good atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely be back. Just sorry we have not found this place before.

We booked last minute and the staff were very accommodating. The food was promptly served and it was delicious and freshly cooked with lovely spices and flavours. A warm welcoming atmosphere and just what was needed after a long busy day. We will certainly be...

People are so easily pleased! Don’t waste your money…. This place is disappointing. After all the good reviews we thought we would give it a try. Tikka masala isn’t meant to be sweet. I also asked if I could have it spiced up a little?!...

We have been using this restaurant for the ten months that I have been living in the area, going there approximately once per week. Saturday 2nd April 22 was extremely busy (The restaurant is getting more and more popular - for good reason) We tried...

I came to Mehek on Saturday and I must say it was the best curry I have ever tasted. It was extremely busy but the staff were exceptional considering how busy it was and considering they had a team member who didn’t come into work...

Decided to go here after reading the reviews and it didn't let us down we had a wonderful meal and it was reasonable priced the staff were pleasant and service was good could not fault anything I would recommend anyone to give it a try...

Fantastic, satisfying, fresh food and great service. My son is 10 years old, he wasn’t too keen on the starter, and upon checking on us, seeing that he didn’t eat, they changed it to accommodate his taste without additional charge. Brilliant service, very kind and...

Pre booked via their website 3 days before as we were visiting Alton Towers. Arrived at 6:30 order wasn’t taken until 7pm, still no main course at 8:30pm so we left…really disappointed. They seemed to be just taking booking after booking for takeaway and had...

The food is exceptionally good. It tastes fresh and looks inviting. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and attentive. A very enjoyable experience

I have come here to peak district from Devon. Saw this place thought I must try it. Had it as a take away. Highly recommended. Especially the Lal Mann's and the murg makni absolutely delicious. This place is extremely clean too which is always high...

We’ve lived near here for years but never managed to visit but then went once few weeks ago and my daughter was so keen to go back for her 14th birthday. Again the food was amazing and the staff are so lovely and family friendly....

I really enjoyed our visit this evening. The menu has many dishes I’ve not heard of and tried before. Our food was outstanding great quality good flavours. A good choice of fish dishes which was a lovely surprise. We can’t wait to go back.

We visited for the Sunday lunch set menu last week, having not been since Jan 2020. This is a variety of different starters and main dishes with poppadoms, rice and naan. It was delicious and we weren’t quite able to finish it all! The owner...

My first time and I cannot fault the service or the food. Freshly cooked and perfectly priced, the atmosphere is lovely and I highly recommend

Myself and my partner visited mehek this evening and I was so impressed and happy I just had to leave a review. We called and booked a table at very short notice and although they were very busy they fitted into there very beautiful restaurant....

Driving past & managed to grab a table for two on a very busy Saturday night! Thanks so much for fitting us in! Greatly appreciated. Wonderful cold pint of cobra followed by very tasty food! We don’t live nearby or we would be there every...

This is the first time I have ordered from the Mehek.......food absolutely amazing. Cooked fresh and so full of flavour. Thank you for a fantastic takeaway.

An excellent restaurant with amazing food. The presentation of the food is brilliant. Tried a variety of foods from King Prawn to the Lamb curry. Some of the best lamb I have tasted. The owner was very humble and friendly too. Highly recommended this place....

What a wonderful experience! Such a welcome on arrival. The food and service were outstanding. There was no rush to finish the courses, which made the whole event so relaxed. We were given a complimentary dish which was so good. At the end of a...

A small group of frends enjoying a curry - excellent food & great range of dishes. A duck dish, a captains curry & sag gosht for me - really good - flavoursome and not heavy but filling too Nan breads were spot on

Horrible wet night but lovely welcome with lots of welcome advice on dishes. Prawns were fantastic. Bottle of house red great value

Visit here with some friends last month. Brilliant Indian, the prawn dish was amazing, my friend had the biryani that looked good

My band called after playing a local festival. We didn’t expect to find good of this quality after the show. Perfectly spiced curries, tender meat and light crispy Naan. See you again soon!

The meal we had here was fine and the experience with friends was enjoyable, I would come back. The 5* rating did up the expectations, which unfortunately, for me, they were not met. I have had other Indian restaurant experiences which I have enjoyed much...

I have lived in Leek most of my life and never thought to visit Mehek; what a fool I was. Tucked away on the Ashbourne Road, this restaurant offers some of the finest Indian food I’ve ever had. Wonderful service, charming decor and food packed...

Recently ordered a takeaway from here and we were very impressed by the quality of the food and the extensive menu. Not your average curry house and all the better for it. Lots of dishes that you don't typically see on the menu at other...

We accidentally came across this place on a drive out. Great service, delicious food but the decor needs a bit of a revival.

This restaurant does not have one of those menu's which goes on for pages and pages. It is clear that they are focusing, confidently, on a range of dishes which they want to produce at the highest level. The service was brilliant and the food...

The best curry house in Leek by far! All the food was cooked fresh and the flavours were therefore amazing. If you seek quality I recommend Mehek. The staff were fantastic. We will definitely be returning customers.

As we walked out, my 8 year old daughter said about the person who served us 'I think he was the nicest man I have ever met." The food was superb. The service was great. I'm actually sad we don't live round here as we'd...

A really warm welcome from the staff setup an incredible meal. Really generous portions and really tasty food. I was talked through the menu due to my gluten intollerance and they made me a complimentary gluten-free bread that was delicious! Very easy to recommend

We went on a Saturday night for a nice meal out , We read the reviews and they were very good so chose this restaurant. Service was excellent we arrived at 20.30 and were promptly seated at our table. Straight away drinks orders were taken...

Excellent service, food was fantastic. A definite must for those who want an authentic Bangladeshi meal. Highly recommend.

We had a great meal at this restaurant. The freshwater prawns were particularly good. Excellent food throughout and great service.

We are currently on holiday in the area and as normal I’d researched local restaurants on Trip Advisor. Mehek sounded a bit special in the description from many of the reviews and it’s currently listed as the best restaurant in the area so we decided...

Outstanding food with a brilliant menu and excellent, friendly and attentive service! Great value for money, too - thank you!

Mehek is my favourite place by far for traditional authentic Bangladeshi food. I can honestly say it’s the best food I have ever tasted. The staff are so friendly and attentive to your needs. I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff. Excellent for gluten free. (Coeliac) Food looked and tasted freshly prepared, home cooked.

Dare I say this is a restaurant not a ‘curry house’! Visited with family over the weekend and the food was excellent. I found that eating here was a rare opportunity to really sample some authentic Bangladeshi food so I’d recommend sticking to the specials...

Visited over the weekend… We have been a few times now since last lockdown… it really is the best Bangladeshi food I’ve ever had. I tried the Lal Maans for the first time and I now have another go-to (since the Saag Murgh special has...

A really great meal! The peshwari naan was delicious and a good size. Really loved the prawn dish. The owner was so friendly and we had great service

A fantastic meal and experience at Mehek. The dishes we chose were really excellent, and very different from standard Indian meals. My prawn dish was exceptional. Really good service too, not rushed and not slow either. All in all a great evening, highly recommended.

Oily food spoils the experience. The Naan was quite small to my liking. The food was fine but the oil Urgh

Has large car park! Warm friendly greeting shown to requested table , place is comfortable, pleasant but dated. Menus : they were worn out scruffy and pen marked crossed out items... didn’t have clean feel and again needed to be updated and nicely laminated. Vegetarian...

What a treat! This was the best meal I've had in an Indian restaurant in a long time. We are away on a short holiday and came here after seeing that it was number 1 on TripAdvisor in Leek. It is well deserved and I...

This restaurant was such a gem, the waiters and staff were lovely including the chef who came and checked our food was okay. Not only that but my friend was given a little bottle of Prosecco to celebrate her birthday!

The atmosphere was very nice, the service was good, though too slow, and the food really tasty. I would recommend it, they are extremely welcoming people.
