Moti Mahal in Gateshead

We have had a few takeaways from here over the last couple of months and they have been consistently really nice. And extremely reasonably priced.

Excellent Food - Yes SHOHID is no longer with the business but the current owners have really tried on every occasion I have ordered and can't fault the food.. They know SHOHID Well and 100% better than the last owners who tried to make a go of the MOTIMAHAL.

Ordered through Just eat and food never arrived despite it being confirmed by the restaurant and later showing as on the way. Phoned up and initially they claimed they had no knowledge of the order. Later phone call they said it was on the way. Then again 3 hours after the initial phone call we phoned again to be told it had been delivered. Needless to say it had not. Waste of time.

Absolutely the worst Indian in 15 years! 15 minute delivery took 95 minutes, food clay cold and nuked in microwave dry as a stick. Will never use these bandits again

Moti Mahal Takeaway have done themselves proud.. SHOHID asked me to give them a try as the new owners know him very well and I am pleased to say I was not disappointed with my food.. These are not the owners that first took over the MOTI & Thank goodness these guys really do care about what they do. Starter Chicken Chat Excellent Portion and very tasty. Main Lamb & Chicken Naga.. Deliciously flavoured with plenty of spices and the meat, including the lamb was so tender.. I had to dish to portions as I got so much. Chicken Tikka Main off the Bone for the other half also deliciously cooked and Chicken Tikka really tender with plenty of onions and Peppers.. Couldn't fit the salad on the plate but managed on the second helping. Coconut Rice, fluffy soft and delicious. Sag Aloo - Really nice potatoes were spot on and good portions too. Siddique is the Chef here and I have to say it's one of the best meals I have had.. I was a regular when SHOHID was here for over 30 years and if these guys continue with this level of food I will go nowhere else.. A Massive Thumbs up to Siddique & Tareq the new owners. Also a big thank you to SHOHID as I would not known it was taken over in October if it weren't for him letting me know.

Just ordered for the first time since it opened In Oct 23 and the service diabolical, phoned for a delivery service, and repeated my order 3 times In fact I was even rang back. It came an hour earlier and the whole order was wrong even down to the garlic nan which ended up being a plain one ...WILL NEVER GO AGAI N and to say its the Moti Mahal is an insult to the original owners..!!!!!

Just had a chicken prawn madras nothing like a madras very mild and disappoint wont be ordering again

I got a Chicken Tikka wrap with madras sauce & it was bloody lovely

Received a flyer through the door yesterday and thought I would give the tandoori wings served with salad and sauce a try. They came without the said salad or sauce. The wings were more macerated than marinated and cooked in a tandoor. Prawn Karai sauce boasts a strong flavour of coriander...unfortunately the dish had no trace of coriander and the overcooked prawns were extremely chewy. Very disappointed. However, it arrived piping hot and early from a nice delivery driver.

One of the best takeaways I’ve ever had, only just got my order and had to review because I’m in love. The chicken tikka starter, chicken and prawn curry is unreal, amazing flavour and chips are lush. Definitely recommend!!!

Lovely staff, nice food at a decent price will visit again

Just ordered chicken prawn madras 3 bits off chicken n few shrimps not worth 17 pound 35 pence will try else were next time 😁

Awful. Ordered chicken madras and plain pilau. The rice looked like it had been bought in a bag from Asda, poured it on plate and there was a puddle of water at bottom of tray. Chicken madras had zero taste or spice, chicken was soft as anything just over cooked rubbish. And to top it off the can of coke I ordered wasn’t even coke, it was a 25 pence snidey cola from lidls

This place has gone downhill. The paneer cheese was either not fresh or potentially not even paneer. The lamb in the shashlik was hard, chewy and swimming in a greasy sauce and padded out by onions. Very dissatisfied

Just as nice even after the change in owners, food arrived extremely quickly and was all perfect! Highly reccomend

Certainly not the same. Went right down hill since changed hands. Currys not as nice and customer service terrible

This is the worst Indians since being took over. Meant to get chips with the burger didn’t get any asked for plain kebab wrap and they put peppers in. Not happy at all rang them and customer service is terrible they didn’t solve the problem they couldn’t even come out and deliver chips or another wrap or even ask if we wanted a refund of some money. Absolutely terrible.

Unfortunately Since Shohid's sold the Business in my opnion, the food has been poor. Tonight we ordered 31.12.2021 Can't even get the Starter's correct. We ordered Chicken Chatt and we got Chicken Shashlick.. Food overcooked with too much Garlic & Very oily. ,y curry was seperating on the plate. Really disappointed what a waste of food.....

Asked for something that wasn't on the menu and they delivered. Food was lush too.

Change of ownership has ruined the quality of the food. Now looking at the menus offering kebab and pizza from what was the best Indian takeaway in Area. Been using this takeaway for over 20 years. Without fault. Had a bad meal at beginning of year but just dismissed it. Another meal was awful this week and asked if they had changed owner. They said no just a name change! New owners unfortunately can’t match previous quality. Everything was poor. We will never use again.

apparently its been taken over, food tonight was nowhere near as nice as normal with a very thin sauce

Been eating from Moti for over 30 years staff are always very helpful and polite the food is first class best Indian takeaway in this area

Only getting 1 star as it doesn't have the option of none! Disgusting and by bar far the worst Indian's av had

Order at 6 45 meal arrived at 8 45 tikka masala had no taste just looked like tomato sauce onion bhaji was dry and hard the pokora was under cooked naan was burnt would never recommend this place

Best Indian food ever. Nicest person on earth. Cheap. You don't want to go anywhere else

Great food, reasonably priced and always quick. Top job!

The best Indian takeaway for miles. Beautiful food great sevice. Love it

Amazing as usual - top food !!!

We've lived locally for 10 years now and only discovered this gem recently. Wholeheartedly recommended the food is always spot on, tasty and very fresh. Very nice lamb meat also.

Excellent and friendly service. We have used Mothi Mahal for years and never been disappointed yet. Very reasonable prices too

Very good quality Indian food at good price

Best indian takeaway in dunston quick service and fantastic food. Been going here for years and never had a bad meal

Always have very good tasty food when I come up from Wales My guilty pleasure food always consistent The best in dunston

Been going for years, would not go anywhere else food always fantastic and very friendly folk cannot rave about them enough first class

Have had a meal from here before but got one tonight very disappointed with it chips were cold and the chicken in the curry was hard

We always feel hesitant trying new Indian takeaways. We can't wait to order from here again fast service tasty food and reasonably priced. Love the amount of meat in the keema nan breads!

For some reason I have found it really hard to find a decent Indian takeaway /Restaurant in Dunston, they all seem to have gone downhill. Remembered about this takeaway and decided to give it a try. Wasn’t disappointed, had the £24 set meal and chose the lamb bhuna. It was all delicious, you could actually taste the lamb and it was soft not chewy. It was delivered well within the time given, was hot and well wrapped. Plenty left for next day Definitely be using this one from now on. 😁👍🏼

We have used this take away for 20+ years as a family and it's always been excellent for the taste , service , and cost. We have tried others but always go back .

Great food, been ordering from here for a long time

Friendly service and very tasty food

Really good quality and flavours.

Shop looks poor/dated but food is always brilliant. I travel 7 mile to go to Moti passing really posh looking shops near me which are tasteless and pressed chicken.

Third time now not been delivered what I asked for get someone who can understand English to answer the phone

I order from this shop a lot. I have tried a few indian take always This one I always go back to.love there chicken Danzak

Food always hot, reasonably priced, quick delivery service. Friendly staff, good menu variety, will accommodate requests for dishes not on menu

First time at this take away and I was happy with what I got I was disappointed that my onion bhaji only came with lemon no salad or sauce and food could have done with being warmer to but over all it was nice

Best food ever been going for years 👌

Best pakora and chicken tandoori.

La mejor llevar comida India/entrega tendrá. Hemos tenido comidas desde aquí casi 15 años y siempre satisfecho. Muchas personas que nos visita ha probado la comida de aquí y de acuerdo es uno de las mejores comidas indias han tenido. Siempre hacen la comida a nuestro requerimientos específicos y entrega en menos de una hora. Genial!

We use this takeaway very regularly and have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and the food is always beautiful and is good value for money. I would highly recommend

Excellent every time, great food, great prices, excellent delivery times , been a big fan of this place for years never let me down once, curries to die for good portions too, Evan th chicken omelette is superb

Moti Mahal in my view is fantastic, the food is superb, great menu to choose from.
