I've lived around the corner for years and have never been. As is the case with most eateries in Chorlton. But recently visited multiple times as we were do impressed on the first visit. Everything here is cooked from scratch on order and right in front of you by seasoned chefs, if you stick around to watch (although would recommend a pint in Fell whilst you wait!). There is an extensive menu to choose from and the food is bang full of flavour, not greasy, service comes with a smile (as well as recommendations to pallette) and prices super reasonable. Can't recommend more highly!

We have not had a Mahbub curry for a long time, because they never used to deliver, I used to pick up on my way home from work. What a fantastic meal we had last night, five stars all the way, plus the best of staff they cannot do enough for you

Great food at an Excellent price. Third time ordering food for delivery and third time not disappointed. Portions are good sizes, food is fresh and tasty. They always take note of my little requests such as put salad separate to kebab. Won’t order from anywhere else now. Great place 5*

Ordered takeaway.. Keema Rice, Keema Nan, Tandori mixed grill which comes with vegetable sauce. Ordered for first time while visiting family in Manchester. Food delivered on time by a very nice staff member in uniform. The food was hot on arrival and was absolutely amazing. The mixed grill was perfect in every way. The portions are large and the quality is outstanding. Highly recommend this takeaway for value, service and quality. would give 10 stars if i could. thanks for a great food experience.

So disappointed. Ordered lamb tikka starter and garlic chicken medium curry with garlic naan. The lamb had very little flavour and was quite tough. The chicken "curry" dish had almost no spice and no hint of garlic. The naan was totally plain. I doubt the staff would have eaten any of this themselves.

I have been to Mahbub many times and it has never disappointed me. We normally order sasg gosht (lamb in spinach), chicken karahi, fish tikka and chicken tikka along with pilau rice and garlic naan for our sides. Those are my favourites but I am sure all dishes are brilliant. The only slight issue is that they don't deliver, but amazing food, brilliant prices and friendly service easily make up for that.

Visited here for the first time on Tuesday evening, been meaning to try for a while. Sagor Balti used to be my go to place for take away curry, but having recently moved back to Chorlton I need a replacement. I have to say this place is very good, only tried the Moglai Lamb Lazia so far which was superb and the kids had a chicken tikka korma which they really liked. Portions are good with quality meat. The staff are excellent, I like trying different curries not as much choice as Sagor Balti but I will return to try there house specials. I can see it becoming my go to balti takeaway. So far so good 😊

The food tastes amazing, they're very efficient and there are amazing off licences nearby to grab any extras. I tend to order and (if it's busy) I pop over to Lloyds for a half while I wait.Love love love Mahbub, but unfortunately I've had to start going elsewhere as they don't have a really healthy section to the menu. I hope that they start doing a couple of really well-researched, ultra healthy dishes and I'll be back there frequently! I wouldn't mind paying more for Organic/coconut oil dishes.. and my mates and me do tend to avoid the traditional curry E numbers like Tartrazine Camoisine Allura Red etc. one friend is allergic.It'd be AWESOME if one day Mahbub had a really healthy option!!!Helpful tip:Park on Manchester Rd down by the side of the Lloyds pub for easy parking.

I moved to Chorlton last December, just before Christmas. It is a bit of a "tradition" that I, usually with friends and family, have Indian/Asian food on Christmas Eve. I had tried this takeaway before and what we had on Christmas Eve from there was great. I don't go very often, maybe once a month even though it is my nearest "restaurant"/takeaway, but most meals have been great. I especially enjoy their Tarka Dhal.Great food, nice helpful staff and "little" details which I find impressive. Like: you are offered a coffee and there are bowls of "nibbles" if you wan to snack whilst you wait for your food; there are fresh flowers on the tables; and the fact you see straight into the kitchen is very re-assuring

Been going here for years and never been disappointed. A great choice of tasty curries. Large pieces of good quality meat, and flavoursome sauces. TV, papers, free coffee and Bombay mix while you wait, or just chat to the staff who are always friendly and chatty. You normally get a surprise freebie in the bag with your order (potatoes, bhajis, that sort of thing), which makes it feel like you're eating a great deal every time.

You really can't go wrong ordering a takeaway from here. The portions are very generous and they often throw in a few extras for free. Everything is freshly cooked behind the counter, so you can see how clean and efficient the place is. Most importantly, the food is consistently excellent and rivals that of any eat-in establishment. Take note, though, they don't seem to accept card for payment, so come with cash. If you want a high quality Indian to eat a home, try the Manbub; you won't be disappointed,

Been to Mahbub for many years now and always return. Its an excellent family run business and they know the meaning of customer service. They greet you like a friend rather than a customer and usually throw something in for free if its a decent sized order. The mixed grill is amazing but so is everything else that I've tried. The place is very clean and has an open kitchen with proper chefs, I've even been jus before closing time and you can see the chefs scrubbing the kitchen down ready for the next day. Amir and his brother who are smartly dressed take your order and you take a seat and watch tv while eating the free bombay mix and even have a free coffee if you want. This is the way all take aways should be run. Prices are good, can't fault this place.

The chefs cook the food in front of you and when you arrive to pick up your food they have a genuine interest in telling you about the food and how they have prepared it. I would encourage anyone that is wanting a fabulous curry in the comfort of their own home to order from the Mahub.Best curry in Manchester I have been to restaurants that are not even remotely as good.

Fantastic Sikh kebab at £3.40. Freshly prepared so takes 15 minutes or so, but well worth the wait. The Nan is soft and chewy with just a slight crunch and done in a proper clay oven. Meat is fragrant with herbs and spices and is of very good quality. Sauces are provided separately so no soggy kebab disaster! Staff are fantastic, really friendly and a bit nuts! and you can watch your food being prepared by the chefs. Can't wait to try their other dishes.

I have been to mahbub for takeaway on two occasions and on both Of them, both mine and my wife's curries had an overriding flavour of burnt garlic... Such a shame as all if the starters we have tried have been lovely! The onion pilau rice is also great. Overall, though I think the chefs need to pay that bit more attention to their mains, as there are many good places to get curry in chorlton.

Very old, very dirty, dingey, the food was beyond disappointing, the waiters were friendly but the food is maybe the worst I've ever tried in any restaurant. Flavourless, old, low quality and the price is ridiculously high for this kind of quality. I went here as the reviews made it sound really nice but it was a total waste of money and I would highly recommend you avoid this place. I can't imagine this place has a hygiene rating of more than 1. There are much better Nepalese restaurants in the vicinity, don't waste your time or money. When we got there we saw a family leave with alot of food barely touched, I thought they weren't hungry but should've realised that was a bad sign that the food was awful.
