New Mogul Indian Cuisine in Cherwell

Raw kebab starter, inedible chicken korma-didn't recognise the flavor, tepid rice! Don't recommend eating anything from this place.

Food wasnt very hot, small portions, bit oily.

Food was lovely, delivered on time

Food arrived on time. All hot and tasty. Well packaged. Happy with the service.

Best Indian takeaway. In the world!

After evaluating all the various other options locally, this has been my selection for a couple or three years now. For a maximum rating, a reputable curry house should offer excellence in at least ambience, value, food quality, and location. Whilst other options are comparable in location, generally one of either their food or price or ambience are compromised. There are places with appealing interiors but less friendly staff and with mediocre food. Some market themselves as "upmarket" or try to effect that impression in their prices and the aloofness of their staff. However, their food in all cases is a disappointment. I choose New Mogul because the food is fresh and flavoursome. You can notice this immediately from the chutneys, which elsewhere are either bland or soft or restricted in their choice and quantity: an onion salad should be crisp and full of onion flavour; lime pickle: strong, sour, and packed with limes; and mint yoghurt: cool and creamy; the mango chutney is uniquely delicious. This freshness continues into the main dishes, which can be readily tweaked to your preferences (something that pretentious restaurants have derided when asked). To be critical, however, the interior could be slightly more welcoming: there are other places that are cosier and have better toilet facilities (though some do not). And despite it no longer being the trend, I would like the side dishes to be presented on hot plates (even over a tealight would help), as they invariably end up cold before I've finished, especially in winter. The chicken can infrequently be a bit "high street", especially when I compare with a Keralite restaurant somewhere else, but generally speaking it's fine for me - and the dishes are freshly prepared, which is important. After our previous kleptocracy, the prices are now in the higher mid-range, which is testing the 'value' attribute, and I think that any further hikes would lose at least one point from my rating. (My order is exactly the same wherever I dine, if available, and I paid £7 less in a cosier place with slightly less fresh food and bland chutneys, but with notably bigger portions, however.) But the staff here are friendly and down-to-earth, the food is fresh and flavoursome, the location is good, and the value remains good. Bearing in mind the polarising trend in how most review websites are used, I am going to rate this as Excellent, although nowhere locally quite deserves that rating. More accurately, I would probably rate as 4.5 stars. At the end of the day, this is a curry house; it's not a fine dining restaurant: Opheem, it's not, obviously; more importantly, an Opheem-wannabe, it's not. But it's my choice and I'm a vexing value-seeking hard-to-please pedant.

Tasty food, the shashlik had great flavour! Food was delivered quickly and hot.

Food is lovely definitely order again

Had to phone as forgot to order popadoms and they was sent out free of charge. Great gesture.

Great food and service, highly recommended.

Just ok. Some weird tastes, possibly corn flour or something in sauces. Not great.

These guys are amazing. Great food . Great delivery service. Thanks New Mogul !!

Fantastic food. Never disappoints

an hour late and had to go stand in the rain waiting for the driver

Food arrived on time. Packaged well. All fresh and tasty. Would recommend.

Not the normal good service. Cold Meal

It just keeps getting better!! Absolutely amazing chicken jalfrezi last night. The best Indian I’ve had in the UK, possibly the world.

Absolutely fantastic meal, same high quality as always, pleasure to use the New Mogal

i ordered takeaway of chicken bhuna and chicken jalfrezi curry. it really tasts heaven. perfect mixture of all the spices and the real taste of india. i loved the food also the quantity is worth the price. highly recommend it.👍👍👍,i am surely visit again 🥰

Spot on as usual!! Best in town

6 of us went for a meal, the service and food was excellent would definitely recommend this restaurant . Very reasonable prices too well done Mogul 👍

The food tasted good but they were literally two pieces of meat cut into little pieces to make it seem like there were a lot of pieces

The food was the best of quality as usual..delivery was bang on ..the standard of food is different level… highly recommended.best curries in town..👌🏻👌🏻

The food was horrific, I would go as far to say worst curry I’ve ever had. Very watery! And the curries tasted awful. Such a shame as it used to be amazing!

Best place in Banbury been using this place for over 10years and always been perfect. Never had a problems

Had a mixed biryani delivered, the food was lovely and delivered with a smile. The sauce has a good spice to it and the meat was cooked perfectly - will definitely go back!

Had a home delivery. Really good food . Very big portions. Would recommend.

Good was cold and delivery driver was extremely rude

Spot on as ever!!! The best curry I’ve had outside of India 👌

1st time using this restaurant take away, had a lamb tika bhuna, tase was good, BUT, the lamb, was so tough it was inedible, if it was used for car tyres, would get at least 50,000 miles, so avoid the lamb. Not sure l would go again 🤔

I normally always order from this Indian takeaway but yesterday when I ordered 2 x garlic nan bread I received them full of coconut as I don't like coconut very much I was very disappointed. normally this takeaway is spot on.

The food was of the best quality, very flavoursome and the delivery was very good as well. The standards of the New Mogal are always very high. many thanks

One of the best curries I have ever had! The decor was a pleasant change from the flock wallpaper of the usual curry house. The food was fabulous. First impressions was how pretty it was. Tasted delicious and not too greasy. The service was quiet, attentive but not intrusive. And the price was reasonable. Highly recommend!

Perfect. Really good take away. Best in ages. We got the wrong naan but apart from that it was great. 👌

three different curries, tasted like the same with different protein in it

Quality of curry was poor , watery

10/10 as always! Amazing food. Rocky the delivery driver is a top guy, always friendly and always on time!

Chicken Tikka was dry and tasteless. It was smothered in an oily substance that made the outside oily. For a dry meal this was not as expected. Did complain to just eat but they weren’t having any of it. Have ordered in the past and it’s been spot on but on this occasion ruined a family gathering. Not happy with the response of just eat. Not sure the restaurant would have rectified this but now can’t contact them. Very disappointed

It was cold when it arrived and the Papadums were soft and from a 4.6 star I would have expected more that was the reason I choose this restaurant but was not happy with the end result

Spot on time. Honestly best curry ever, chicken jalfrezi 🤌👌

Delicious food and delivery on time! We've been having takeaways from here for ages ans they don't disappoint.

Everything was fantastic definitely order again

Fantastic food, great delivery drivers and service. Best food delivery in the area by a long way. Thank you!

Perfect food and perfect service. Thank you for fixing my order! No.5 :)

Kebab and popadoms were not great today but the rest was as normal.

Food was delicious and the customer service was amazing. Would 100% recommend this restaurant

The food and the service is just wow!! 👌🏼 they make me feel like a celebrity when I walk in 😃

Just the best!! Best Indian in Banbury by a long way. Takeaway or in restaurant, top quality, top service.

Excellent service and customer service. Good food lovely environment

Brought a takeaway from this restaurant. I phoned for the order at 19:55 and received it at 20:20. I live in the Hardwick area so to cook my food and deliver it in 25 minutes was a shock. When upon opening my food most of it was microwaved as chicken was very dry and korma was to much coconut. This was ordered on Sunday night by Monday night I was very ill had to take 2 days sick due to this. Please be very careful people.

Absolutely fantastic food and service, we went early evening mid week , it was fairly quiet. Should imagine it gets busy later and during weekends. Definitely recommend.

Great service and the food was very tasty and fresh

Food lovely as always! However Naan was missing

Taste was not authentic. Could have been much better. Mint chutney was no where near to how it has to be

Both naan breads were beyond burnt, chicken tikka tasted of nothing but lemon juice and was really thin, extremely poor quality for our favourite Indian, will not be using this restaurant again,

Went forward birthday supper, staying in Banbury. Lovely restaurant, nicely decorated. Staff and service excellent. We had the set menu. Delicious food and good value for money. Highly recommend.

Great taste good amount perfect service 👌

Best take away i have ever had ..tried all other indian take aways in town.this is one of the Best .10/10

skimping on portion sizes never ordering from here again

The food overall was lovely, however arrived late and cold …

Awful. Cold food, wrong order partially,- tiny portion. Order came 90 minutes late. Shocking… the chef should have gone to Specsavers!!

Went for a large family meal, 17 of us. Don't think they've ever catered for such a large group. Once the food started with the poppadoms the amount of dips/pickles seemed a bit sparse, had to request for more. The main followed shortly, these were very tasty but I would say lacked in the quantity of meat for the dish. So the big question would I go back? I enjoyed the evening there so for that reason I would go back again.

For many years I had take out from here & the food was fantastic. However, it’s now far too expensive and I refuse to pay £10 for 5 papadums & sauces. That combined with the delivery costs and a service charge, quite frankly it’s not worth it. Great shame, it shouldn’t cost this much. So good riddance Mogul, compliments to the chef and all, but in terms of value there are far better places around.

Food was late and cold. Status said out for delivery for around 25 minutes and then arrived late and cold. Shame as we usually enjoy.

I ordered an Indian takeaway and have to say I was very impressed with the food and service. I will be using the New Mogul in future. Thank you

Beautiful tasty food, good portions and spot on delivery. New Mogul has never let us down. Highly recommended.

Texted to say the delivery was running late

really good food, good size portions, well recommend 👍

Best curry I’ve ever had, tried all other Indian restaurants in town, this is the one. Chicken jalfrezi is 10/10

Disappointing food. Very little flavour and some items seemed like they were reheated. There's much better options in banbury to be honest.

Both the saag aloo and saag paneer were pathetic tiny portions literally a spoon full of each. Absolute rip off

On time, but over an hour of waiting. Food was very good though.

Brilliant food amazing flavour unlike most Indians in Banbury.

Spot on as ever! Best Indian takeaway in Banbury!

As always cannot fault the food, starters mains and naan breads oh and my favourites Bombay potatoes love this place x

We decided on a takeaway rather than visit this restaurant as it was a very cold night outdoors. Phoned and order taken efficiently. Delivery 5 minutes ahead of agreed time by polite driver. Food superb. THANK YOU WE WERE 100% SATISFIED

Tasty food, but sauce slightly watery. Improve this and it would have been a 5!

Cooked well but very weak, no flavour

Excellent food .great service..highly recommended….

Tried all Indians in Banbury but keep finding myself coming back to the Mogul. Everything hit the nail on the head. Food arrived hot and in plentiful quantity. The chicken tikka keema mutter paired with the garlic naan is an amazing combo and I recommend everyone to try this out. Looking forward to ordering my next takeaway 😊

Mildest Madras I've ever eaten

Lovely curry, received just what we ordered plus some poppadoms! The delivery driver was great and arrived so early! Madras was really well spiced and saag paneer was really flavourful. Thanks!

Best curry in Banbury- won’t order from anywhere else. Friendly staff and food always comes hot and tastes amazing!! 10/10!!!

Had a delightful evening here. Was incredibly welcoming. Service was amazing and the food was brilliant. Would definitely go again.

The food tasted great, however wasn’t as hot as I’d expected; I reheated it before eating. Maybe look at ways to keep it hotter in future. Other than that, it was incredibly tasty.

Was nice but the chicken was hard and dry

came here on the off chance as was walking past in the evening , it was fantastic, really good fresh food , excellent service, so impressed. Loved it so much we are going back very soon for another meal. Will definately come to the Mogul for a indian meal out !

I have had a takeaway recently and have eaten in with some work colleagues and both meals have been very good. Finally somewhere in Banbury worth going to.

Best Indian in Oxfordshire! Never disappoints.

Spot on!!! As usual, absolutely amazing food, arrives in literally minutes, top quality.

The mint sauce was abit of a bright neon colour which was abit shocking but everything was delicious

So so good!!! Absolutely spot on tonight

Delicious food as always. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Speedy delivery and great food.

I think we have ordered from New Mogul every week since we moved to the area, a year ago, the quality is second to none and that’s even when we order on a Tuesday night at 6pm. My favourite takeaway in Banbury, hands down! Thanks

Absolute heaven! Blown away by how good our lamb bhuna and chicken narwaj were! Thank you guys ❤️

Ordered a takeaway from here and wasn't disappointed one bit the food was excellent so tasty I had the chicken pathia with mushroom rice

Absolutely gorgeous!! We just love ordering from here. Much love from the Potteries!

Delicious as always, though only 3 prawns was a bit disappointing

Excellent all round, great service and great food.
