Mughal Rasoi in Newark and Sherwood

This restaurant is surprisingly good and you really should give it a try. Needs a smarten up from the outside, but decor inside is lovely. Four of us had different dishes- all really tasty and authentic. Great poppadoms and naans too. Good friendly service.

First visit Friendly staff Excellent food Good value in this day and age Only thing to be mindful is stairs quite steep Certainly be going back

Would give it 10, been here in the past and it’s been so-so, but tonight’s meal was amazing, fresh and delicious, every mouthful was delicious. Young team who are keen and proud of what they are delivering, couldn’t fault it. Best Indian restaurant in Southwell.

Beautiful We stayed at lodge barns for the weekend and decided to order a takeaway..... the food here is delicious. We had a tandoori mix grill. Chicken balti and sides absolutely delicious. 💯

Friendly service. Helpful info about menu. Food fresh tasty and top quality. Great value for money. Lovely atmosphere and a bird's eye view of the pretty street of shops below.

Not as good as the rating suggested. Typical range of options on the menu, nothing for the more adventurous taste. Good service

This restaurant changed hands some time back and this is the first takeaway we have had since then, we used to visit with friends every 5 or 6 weeks and get takeaways in between. The menu has changed significantly since the new owners took over, which is only to be expected, prices have risen sharply, some of which is also to be expected. When we collected the food it was piping hot and the staff were very friendly, sadly however that is where it started to go downhill. The poppadoms were soft, the same texture that they have if you leave one out overnight! The breads were very doughy and lacked seasoning (a common theme), the pilau rice was very pale yellow (I am not expecting brightly coloured rice but this looked odd and unappetising) and did not appear to have had any spices or seasoning used in its preparation. The peas in the peas rice were grey in colour and significantly over cooked. The curries themselves were simply tasteless, again a lack of seasoning did not help, the Dopiaza was like eating vegetables covered in gravy, there was no evidence of spices being used and no heat at all (I don't want hot curry but the mix of spices and a gentle warmth was absent). We had a Tarka Dhal which was nice and the pickles that came with the poppadoms were generous and tasty. Maybe this was just a bad night in the kitchen or maybe they are still trying to deliver the new menu but we will not rush back.

As per previous reporting the restaurant has changed hands and for me the standard of food doesn't compare to the previous owners. Erstwhile spicy dishes are now bland and lack depth of flavour. We were regulars for years and have given the new management time to improve but the food just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Having been a regular here for many years and it being by far the best Indian food iv eaten I was shocked and disappointed on my most recent visit to find the restaurant has changed hands and the quality of food gone massively down hill... The food is now bland and dishes lack character. My usual Balti was poor and the normally stand out masala watery and bland. I was also surprised to find when ordering the chicken shashlik starter which was normally served as a sizzling chicken dish to be served a random small portion curry dish? Clearly the new owners are interpreting the menu in there own way and the new chef isn't anywhere near that standard of that of the previous one. A real shame to see this restaurant change hands and quality slip. Let's hope the owners get a decent chef and a grip of the menu and they can return to the fantastic food this place has become known for

very good food, great service 4 of us had 2 courses, 2 bottles of wine rice nans soft drinks al for 107.75 Someone had said they add VAT to the prices on the menu - NOT TRUE We paid the prices given on the menu - the previous reporter chris e has go his sums wrong We will definitely go there again, but booking is needed as the place is very popular!

As this was our first visit we gad to rely on past comments and reviews. My starter, mixed kebabaid in a bed of onions were burnt and uneatable this nearly applied to the onion bhaji which had its base against the sizzling plate. Our other starters were fine. That can also be said of the mains plenty of meat, good quality sauce/gravy and enough rice from 2 portions for 3 people. So what about the shifty dodge. Well when you are given a menu you expect the price shown to be what you pay. WRONG....without any prominent or even lesser notice, the printed menu was subject to VAT at 20% on top!! The restaurent owner made no attempt to tell us so it became a disappointment that the prices we had to pay was not what was shown....so beware if you go that this restaurent applies a deceitful charging practice.....you are being warned!!!!

The best Indian I have ever had ….. a bold statement but said with absolute confidence. From the rice to the naan to the drinks and the curry - absolutely gorgeous. And super friendly staff to top it off.

Well done to the restaurant. Friendly welcome, attentive service and great food. Just the thing to unwind on a Friday night

Arrived in Southwell on a Sunday to find most restaurants closed. So pleased to find this lovely restaurant. Food excellent and staff were very attentive and polite. Would highly recommend a visit.

Enjoyed a good meal here. The menu offered an extensive choice and if you wanted you could request dishes to be adjusted to your preferred level of strength. The service was excellent, overall a very good experience.

First visit but definitely not the last. Food and customer service excellent! Team couldn't do enough

Set on the main street this place is fab with great attentive friendly service. Unlike many Indian restaurants nowadays the curry is not generic and has a proper home made taste. Well worth a visit

Consistently top quality food in spite of the crisis. Well done Mr Khan and staff. Keep it up - we need you

Gave this place a second chance, for a takeaway, having avoided it for years, given the closure of other local restaurants during Coronavirus lock down. It seems that convenience is still all that keeps it going. There are far better curry restaurants in the wider area beyond Southwell. Bland, gloopy sauces, chewy chicken and a “lamb” Bhuna that was 60% beef. Lovely staff, but won’t be trying again. If only Gurkha One was still going...

Good service and good food. Reasonable value. Inclusive of popadoms is unusual and good. Missed the entrance originally as it is upstairs.

Best to book as it gets busy but well worth it,great service free poppadoms starts your meal with great fast attentive service followed by great curry. A fantastic atmosphere vibrant and buzzing. Get booking !!!

The staff were very patient with our party, allowing us to delay the ordering of our main meal as we were waiting for the final member of our party to arrive. I was very impressed, not only by the quality of the food, but especially by the fact that they accommodated to my dietary needs. The produced a vegan starter which was not on the menu, as well as a vegan curry which was very tasty.

Very smart surroundings. Excellent courteous service. Couldn't have wished for a nicer ending to our day at the races. Food was lovely. We went fairly early and it was quiet, but was filling up before we left. Seems very popular.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten in. Would be a regular visitor if I lived in Southwell, I went twice in just over a week and had an excellent chicken dish one time, but the piece de resistance was the vegetable thali that I had. Just fantastic!

First meeting of my daughters fiancees mother and husband and I can honestly say we choose a good place to do this. The atmosphere was relaxed,service exceptional and the food was superb - Chicken and Lamb Balti for me !!! YumWhen I say the service was exceptional it was on the night and even more so the day after when one of the staff met my daughter to return my wifes glasses (left them on the table DOH!) - many thanksEven though Southwell is 25 miles from home we will make the effort to go back and visit Mughal RasoiMany thanks Mick

Visited for the first time Saturday early doors. Had great food and great service - can't fault anything.Just like to say a huge thank you to the member of staff who went above and beyond to meet my daughter in Nottingham to return my glasses which I left on the table. I'm sorry I didn't get your name but again thank you so much for your kindness. We will come back again and would highly recommend.

The Mughal Rasoi has been our local Indian Restaurant of choice for over two decades. A very popular family restaurant with an intimate atmosphere, it has never failed to deliver on exceptionally high standards of cuisine and standards. The staff are friendly and helpful and are able to steer you through the extensive menu to help you create an exceptional meal. They also do takeaway which is reasonably priced.

We actually stopped in at a different Indian restaurant but didn’t stay because we were the only ones. We googled Indian restaurants near us and this place came up so we gave it a try. We are so glad we did. The food is excellent, the staff are very friendly and professional. We were given complimentary papadums once seated which was a nice touch. The samosas were delicious. Portions are large and we couldn’t finish our dinners so we took them home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely make the drive and go back.

The last couple of meals we have had from here have not been very nice and have been incredibly salty. We heard that they had changed hands and as we had friends over decided to have a takeaway. We were all very impressed with our very different meals. Good flavours and good portions. We'll definitely be ordering again soon.

I have now visited this restaurant four times. Staff are welcoming and very attentive. Complementary poppadoms were provided. Only recommend having a starter if very hungry as portions are large. Had to take some dishes home as a take away on a couple of occasions as so large. Quality of food has been excellent every time we have visited. Staff cannot do enough for you, even popped out to collect ice cream for us that was not even on the menu. Cannot fault this restaurant at all.

The inside is nice and feels new. The mint sauce was nice and ok sized portions. Wasnt very impressed with the lamb or the spice to the mixed grill tandoori. Didnt like the food coming on a hot plate. Most of the onions come out burnt due to this.

We have eaten regularly at this restaurant for the last twenty years. We have also been to India and I managed 28 curries during our 12 day holiday in five star hotels. The food at this restaurant compares very favourably with India. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much bother. Value for money is amazing. We have never had any tummy problems. Best to book a week in advance to avoid disappointment as this restaurant is so popular. I have never heard a bad word about it.

Introduced to this resturant by our niece and nephew. We were not disappointed, the food is delicious and so much of it. Free complimentary popadums and pickles. All food beautifully presented, attentive staff and even free complimentary drinks at the end of the meal followed by chocs.

Not the easiest place to find as access is through a narrow door next to a kebab shop and the restaurant is located upstairs. Food and service were excellent and drinks extremely reasonably priced.

Whilst we enjoyed our time at this restaurant, with good service and lovely food, everything started to go downhill when we got home. All 4 members of our party have had food poisoning. whilst we understand that sometimes things like this happen, the way the restaurant reacted to our complaint was unacceptable. all we tried to do was call up and make them aware that this had happened so that no one else had the same experience, and were accused of lying by the manager and told that there must be something else wrong with us; we should go get checked out; that it is a family run restaurant with a good reputation so it possibly couldn't be true, and that none of the other tables had complained so we shouldn't be either. After being shouted at and spoken over down the phone for at least 10 minutes we had no other choice but to hang up as we were getting absolutely nowhere. bear in mind we have all been toilet/bed bound since, even calling 111 and getting a diagnosis that was then brushed off by the manager. it was like talking to a brick wall with a horrible attitude.

We eat here now and again. I have a takeaway every week. Food is consistently good. Enjoyed my Birthday here. Staff are helpful, friendly, & very good at their jobs Hats off to the Lads Cheers

I gave this restaurant 5 stars in October last year but had one small criticism of the tired paintwork/decor. The restaurant has now been fully re-decorated and looks very smart!

First time visit here and will definitely be returning and recommending.

I have been regularly going to this wonderful restaurant since moving to Southwell 18 years ago.

A really fantastic meal, all served by friendly staff. Food excellent, hot fresh and first class service. Thoroughly recommended

Don't be put off by the approach to the 1st floor restaurant. The food was excellent and all freshly prepared and good value.

I've been coming here for years..many times with my late Husband (who loved it..); more recent years with friends. ALL have been awed by the taste, portions & quality of service.. Only comments been "nearly as good as yours ( I learned to cook curries working in India & Bangladesh ...).

A group of us eats here every Thursday night, usually about twelve of us. The staff are really welcoming and flexible and our loyalty is rewarded with free poppadoms, free after-dinner drinks and often a free starter dish. Extensive menu - and they will adjust any dish hotter or milder as requested.

Una gran casa de curry, una buena opción en el menú, el servicio amable y una increíble relación calidad-precio. Habiendo visitado probablemente 8 veces en el último par de años, puedo decir que nunca he tenido una mala experiencia. También para llevar.

Visitamos aquí mucho y la comida siempre es deliciosa, el personal para satisfacer nuestros gustos individuales y son muy atentos sin duda recomendaría este restaurante no te decepcionará la comida excelente y el personal era muy agradable y servicial

Que me gusta ir el Khyber Pass justo arriba de la calle (que también es bueno) pero muy satisfecho de haber hecho esta vez el cambio. Bien resultó restaurante con excelente comida y el personal cortés. Ambiente agradable también con familias y grupos por igual.

La comida estaba bien. Sin embargo, al principio nos dieron el típico, que me dijo que papadums no quiero que la izquierda de todos modos diciendo que eran gratuitos. En un restaurante de cortesía no y nunca se existe. El restaurante estaba caliente, pero mi principal queja era el ruido. No es culpa de la gestión, pero lo que hizo que el lugar tenía el ambiente insoportable de A&E; en un borrachos sábado.

La comida era bastante abundante y ligeramente por encima de la media en calidad. El personal era atento, pero fue justo después de Navidad, así que no estaban demasiado ocupados.

I'm afraid this was quite atrocious. We had a Chicken Korma, yes it may not be the most flavoursome dish in the world but this was something else. Watery, flavourless sauce, not a hint of coconut. In a blind taste test I would have said I was eating, no, drinking a 5p tin of tomato soup. The staff were polite. We will not be returning.

This place's korma is sooooo nice. I recommend to all. There are also other delicious meals like the tikka masala

Second trip to the Mughal Rosoi in 2 years. We spend a short break in Southwell every year and now we have discovered the Mughal we always frequent it for a meal .Food is always excellent and prices very good. Last week we were offered a complimentary brandy after our meal which we off course could not refuse.Hopefully we will be visiting again next year. Thanks.

Went to this restaurant with wife and two friends on a Thursday evening. Was welcomed into the restaurant immediately on entering and shown to a table. Restaurant is spotless and has a 5* Council hygiene rating. Drinks served within minutes and complimentary puppodums and chutneys a minute or two later. Onion bhaji starters were delicious and best Ive had in years (one onion bhaji starter will serve two - they're used to this and brought 4 plates out when 2 of these starters were ordered). Plates cleared away almost immediately on finishing and mains served again within minute. My tandoori balti chicken was very tasty but could have been hotter, extra green chillies next time, personal taste no fault of the restaurant. Garlic naans were lovely and fluffy as was the pilau rice, perfectly cooked. Complimentary chocolate mints and hot flannels to finish. Best indian I've had in years with faultless service. Spot on, well done the staff at Mughal Rasoi, I'll be back!

We have been going here on and off for the last 10 years and it is always brilliant. Great food and fantastic service. Thoroughly recommemd!

I go here around 12 times a year, it always delivers on quality and value and repeatedly gives good customer service, particularly the one of the youngest members of staff who will remember you and your previous orders, I have taken family and friends many times. The Mughal Rasoi special is a top quality curry.The take away menu is also good and the quality remains the same.

With friends we have been eating here for several years while under the current management/staff. Always welcoming, good value food with a wide range of dishes. We'll continue patronising ...

Always great curry and lovely naan bread, friendly staff and efficient service, we visit often, worth booking especially near and at the weekend as very popular.

It is what is expected of an average Indian restaurant. Service is good, prices are ok, the room is a standard Indian restaurant type but the food is only average.

This was recommended by a local when we were visiting Southwell on a very wet weekend for the folk festival. We almost missed it as it is tucked away upstairs above a take away but we were so glad we didn't. The décor is very modern and clean and the seats are very comfortable. They have a very extensive menu and we started with usual poppadum and pickles which were very good. For the main course I had a vegetable dhansak and my husband had a lamb pasanda accompanied by pilau rice and a peshwari naan. The standard of the food was excellent, one of the best curries I've ever had and at a reasonable price. The service was also excellent - prompt, courteous and helpful.I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who likes curry. If we lived nearer, we would be a regular at this restaurant.

This place never fails! From the minute you enter you are well looked after by polite attentive and food wise waiters who run a very slick operation. The menu is extensive and aff dishes authentic and cooked to order. Popadoms are complimentary as is an after dinner drink. We shared a starter, no quibbles about that, and followed the exquisite Kashmiri Raan with a balti dish. No room for pudding. We prefer to eat mid week as it can get rather noisy at the weekends. Best Indian in the area by far. It is perhaps fortunate for our waistlines that we live too far away to take advantage of their take away menu!

A group of us ate here on a Saturday night. The place was heaving, but the service and food were both very good indeed. The bill was reasonable at the end and a complimentary drink rounded it all off nicely.

Had an awesome meal last night they were very attentive and pulled out all the stops for us, very tasty and good value for money

We had a group of twelve of us. Great service. Good choices of food. Complimentary poppadums and chutneys. Complimentary drink at end. Alcohol or coffee. Excellent quality and value for money

My partner and I have been here numerous times with our family and friends and we always love to come back here. Food is delicious and full of flavour! This place provides an excellent service, friendly staff and really nice atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this place.

I have eaten here many times, with my wife, with the men's group from church, my football crowd and my family. Always had a lovely meal with friendly service. The menu is a relatively standard affair, don't expect Quail or sea bass. BUT if you like a wide variety of flavours and curries served very well you won't be disappointed. They do all the usual suspects really well and at a fair price.If you want it spicier or milder just ask and they will tweak it as desired. I will be back, often.

Hi, booked this restaurant to meet friends. As we don't know Southwell well, living 20 miles away, the restaurant told us to park next to the library, accessed opposite the Co-op.When we arrived they hadn't got our booking and were full. Obviously mistakes are made but they insisted it was our error though someone had given us parking instructions.Never mind we went to the Kyber Pass down the road and had a great evening.Check your booking.Gave a 3 rating as have to complete this section and don't want to be vindictive.

Amazing food and service was excellent as it always is! Seems to get better every time I've been! Would recommend the Mughal Rasoi special, really hits the spot.

Anyone who gives this establishment a review that is less than Very Good must, in my opinion, be holding some kind of a personal grudge. I've dined here 3 times now, & the quality, quantity, and flavour of the food has always been excellent. The service is efficient & unobtrusive, & a complimentary drink offered at the end of your meal is not unusual. If you check out my other reviews you'll discover that I spent a lot of times visiting Bombay (work related), so I know my curries - these are among the best. Please be aware that it's very easy to miss the entrance to the restaurant, as it's only a single 'domestic' front door.

I cant believe this place has the nerve to charge people for their food lol. Food was bland, service chaotic at best, and prices steep as well! I guess the only saving grace was that it was mercifully quick, maybe the food was reheated, tasted a bit like it was.....DONT BOTHER.

My favourite place in the world! If I could I would go here every single day for the rest of my life! They should be the best British Curry award not that other disgraceful place in rolleston! I love the staff and they always remember who we are! Always have complimentary drinks on special occasions and popadoms everyone which makes it a lovely place!!

A busy Saturday evening meal which was a bit noisy due to the adjoining table. The meal was very good and service fine. It was the cheapest meal we have had out for a long time. We also had a complimentary drink to finish the evening off and will definitely go back.

The food here is usually absolutely ace. However on this occasion I have been left disappointed. The food itself was delightful, however the portion size seems to have decreased massively. After two potatoes, two tiny bits of chicken and one samosa, I'll have to fill up with a bowl of soup. I hope it's a one-off and next time will be back to its usual self

Great for takeaways. Even better if you eat in.Worth a visit. Do book or be prepared to wait a short while. The Rodney pub next door is a good place to wait if needed.Coming back soon...

As the food at the hotel that i was staying did not look very good I decided to visit this little gem.Service was good prices not bad and the curry very tasty - defiantly worth a visit.

I'm a big fan of a good curry, regularly visit "curry mile" in Nottingham where there are some top Indian restaurants and I have to say; Mughal is up there with them! Polite staff with a good knowledge of the dishes they have on offer. Service is very good. Freshly cooked food, a large variety on the menu. If you're in the area you should definitely take my word for it and try! You won't be disappointed

Went there with my family. Food was really good and bill very reasonable. Definitely a place to visit again.

Fantastic food and great service all at a reasonable price. Thank you very much, such a great night. Fast service and would reccomded this restaurant to any body, such lovely staff and place

Quiet in there (Tuesday), service was good, popadoms are complimentary and not expensive. Little tricky to find as it is upstairs but the decor is good enough Very decent.

From the outside you'd be deceived. Once upstairs you find yourself in a cool restaurant with pleasant table layouts. The menu is mostly standard but has some exceptions to try - look out for unusual chicken dishes, and also the ability to create your own base and sauces - that's good. Excellent range of starters on offer, and complimentary tasters, make for a good evening out - but last of all - please advise them to jazz up the entrance - we nearly missed it!

Visited herewith friends who had been before so we were aware of what was to be expected. They really push the boat out with the menu, extensive selection of dishes and if you want particular dish a bit hotter, or milder they are happy to accommodate. we had a full meal with poppadums, starts and main courses. The Naan bread was fresh crisp on one side and tasty, always a good measure of an Indian restaurant. As we live only 30 minutes drive away, we will definitely be going again in the near future.

I like to go to this local Indian restaurant with friends and have been doing so since moving to Southwell 15 years ago.The food is both excellent and more importantly, consistent.... This is a very popular restaurant which has gained a solid reputation through effort. The staff are attentive but don't fuss, but have the time to advice on the menu and even amend dishes to individual taste.They recently tastefully refurbished the restaurant which has a pleasant, open and relaxing atmosphere. It is popular, so I would suggest you do need to book a weekend table at least 7 days in advance. Plenty of on-street parking outside and good pubs nearby. Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Only small but authentic and great food. Lovely staff always very accommodating and friendly and the kids love it

My friend and I have just been to mughal rasoi in Southwell what an outstanding meal , never tasted Indian food like it , staff very welcoming,friendly and polite ,would recommend it to every one . Thank you to all the staff and management for a very warm welcome, will definitely be coming back . Once again thank you x

We visited yesterday evening after reading the great trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed!The food was really fresh, delicious and huge portions. The service was also excellent, our waiter Fez could not do enough to help us.We will definitely come here again and will recommend it to others. Looking forward to coming back.

Thanks for a fantastic evening hosting our company Christmas party dispite how busy it was excellent food and atmosphere well done to all the staff

Try to book before as we only just squeezed in. They get really busy and I'm not surprised. The food was the best I've had.

Recently found this restaurant and we've been back 3 times now. The food is excellent - as is the service. The tandoori specialities are a must to try. This restaurant represents real value for money and I would recommend to anyone.

You can be assured of a warm welcome, excellent value for money and delicious food. What more could one want for an excellent night out? Have tried many others throughout the UK and they come nowhere near the standard of this restaurant. Just make sure you book!

Mughai Rasoi was brilliant. Not too expensive but the quality was outstanding and the service very good. Nice bustly atmosphere, nothing too much trouble. Even gave you a complimentry after dinner drink. We will certainly be returning.

been eating here for years never had a bad meal never got bored of the menu. Eat in or take away the quality is always top

Visited this restaurant many times and have reveiwed it before in 2013 but because it has been redecorated over the last few months felt it time for another reveiw. Dined here Mon evening 20th Oct with a friend,It is probably one of those dining gems hidden away above shops on the high street the entrance is a door inbetween shops you have to look for it but once you walk through the door the decor which features water fountains with lights as been well done, a completely refurbished staircase with inset blue lighting new hand railing all in all a good improvement, the decor upstairs has got new lighting alcoves built in with decoration, new table cloths which all look very nice the floor however is still tiled and has yet to be done,so on to the eating bit, this curry throughout the menu in any combination is the best curry i have had and i compare this to the kismet indian up in edinburgh which when we was there was the number one restaurant out of over a thousand in the area and nationally one of the best so i think this curry ranks along side this easily. the staff are as always polite and helpful i say this because i have been through most of the menu with their help, the popadomes are still complimentory and do not transfer to the bill, the wine is always a good portion not light like in some restuarants always a good full glass, 2 can dine here easily for about £32/33 pounds thats drinks usually 2 wines, 2 beers, main,japaties, coffees,and of coarse the popodomes and chucknies,if you are lucky you can park underneath the restuarant just go through the archway and there is room for 2 cars quite handay,a good tip is you can generally get a table Mon-Thur without booking but Fri,Sat,Sun it is adviable to book, all in all well worth a visit.

Fab recommendations... hence every order includes a Bahraini!!! All other dishes equally enjoyable.... and adding extra coriander never too much trouble.

Picked up a Prawn Biryani last night for a takeaway.The Prawns were big and juicy , the flavours were delicious and the sauce perfect. The best Biryani I have had and its not an easy dish to get right.Well done to the chef and the friendly staff.

we went for dinner here after reading reviews on here and the staff were lovely very friendly efficient and the food was really lovely all the dishes were really good with lovely flavours will look forward to returning

I have been dining in this wonderful restaurant for a number of years and have found the quality of both the food and service remarkably consistent.The restaurant has recently had a decor makeover which also adds to the 'experience'. The menu is extensive, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and happy to modify and adapt the menu to suit individual tastes.I have introduced several visiting friends to this restaurant and they all have enjoyed dining there. My only word of caution to fellow diners is this restaurant is very popular at the weekends, so you do need to pre-book to ensure you get a table.Overall an excellent Indian restaurant & takeaway in the heart of Southwell.

Wonderful food good service evening meal a contrast to the Saracen lunch. Spiced food cooked to our own liking . 8 of us really enjoyed ourselves

If you love curry and indian food in general, you're in for a treat. Based in the historical town of Southwell, this indian restaurant serves the tastiest food I've ever tasted. Not only that, but the service received from the staff is *always* impeccable. An example of this is when I dropped my spoon on the floor accidentally and was then given a clean replacement by the waiter. I've never had this level of service in any other restaurant I've dined in. The prices are unbeatable and very fair. Me and my partner usually pay no more than £30 between us (For the quality of the food and service, this is incredibly cheap!). Of course, we always tip the waiters for their excellent service because we always feel like we have underpaid! Complementary poppadums and dips are handed out whilst we wait for our food and complimentary drinks are served afterwards. Warm hand towels are also provided after the meal as well as a few "After Eights" mint chocolates.

Since the first time I went to this restaurant, I have received nothing but fantastic food and service. My partner and I go on a regular basis and are never disappointed. The service is impeccable in every way as the friendly, yet very professional staff do all they can to give you the best dining experience they can, which in my opinion is always successfully achieved! The food is absolutely delicious and you can recognise its high quality. You receive complimentary popadums prior to your meal and a drink after your meal which really emphasises the staffs determination to provide great service and value for money. It has recently been refurbished and looks fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone as I can safely say that it is not just the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to, but it is the best restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. As an extra bonus, the prices are more than reasonable. Top marks all round!

A great Curry House with extremely friendly and attentive staff,nothing is too much trouble, if you want to experiment a little with the dishes they are happy to oblige.Good value for money with complimentary Popadoms and end of meal drink.I would definitely recommend the Mixed Kebab starter which includes a large Onion Bhargi,Tandoori Chicken and Sheesh Kebab on a sizzling plate of peppers and onions,served with a mint Yoghurt sauce.My only downside is a lack of variation in the menu as everything seems to lean towards a Balti in style,but very nice all the same.I will eventually try the other Curry House in the town but keep finding myself coming here instead!I have been here with family,Friends and for Business and always a good time!

.....something was lacking. The menu seemed a little limited and the ambiance was a bit flat. It was difficult not to compare against the Khyber Pass only a stones throw away. The meal was good and very reasonably priced and the service good, the waiters very polite and attentive. But I think we'll stick to the Khyber for that extra "something" that you expect when going for a special night out. But don't let this review put you off........ try it and judge for yourself.

Blink and you'll miss this place as it is above other shops and accessed by a small doorway, but it's well worth the effort to find it. Very friendly and efficient staff. I dined there with 7 others early evening and we all enjoyed our different main courses. Mine was chicken jaipuri - chicken cooked with chillies, yoghurt and coriander - described as 'hot' on the menu. It was certainly spicy, but not 'over the top' and had a lovely light fresh taste as did the fluffy rice and tasty nan bread. The meal was reasonably priced on the menu, all the more so when you discovered that popadums were complimentary as was a digestif drink to finish. All in all an excellent curry house, spotlessly clean throughout and one to return to if I am ever again in delightful Southwell.
