Really enjoyable dinner at the Mogul where we sampled several dishes on a sharing basis amongst four. Decent portions and authentic Bangladeshi flavours. The owner, Minar, was very pleased to see us after a long absence (living away) and ensured we had a great evening. He even ran our friends back to the station to catch their train. Well beyond what one might expect!

The best food anywhere. If you like traditional curry this is for you. The staff go above and beyond. Polite and professional. Chicken tikka madras ace. Keema bhuna amazing. Keema score 10/10 from someone raised on Asian cuisine. 5 stars not enough more if we could.

If I could give this establishment a minus 1 I would . The food was inhuman and full of oil . The tandoori tasted of a bbq no spices . After 50 years on this planet this is definitely the worst thing I have put in my mouth. Do not go there the owner will argue this is how we cook it . Yuk and huk again we got ripped of and stay away they deserve to close

Has to be the best Indian food around! Visited on a Friday evening, greeted by the manager, shook hands and as kiss for me! so happy and polite felt so welcome. Food absolutely delicious so fresh, served hot couldn’t fault it at all. Manager always gives us a free drink after our meal and even gave me a rose as we were leaving.

Been here before but not for a while, probably 3 years ago, food extremely unloved, no type or finesse just slapped on a plate , no salad or garnish , -10 for presentation, chicken chat starter was dry plain chicken breast in brown unpleasant tasting sauce, king prawn Kushboo - over cooked prawn in a weird black sauce very unappealing to the eye and not a great taste, onion Bhaji ok but only 2 in a portion, peshwari naan was more like a plain naan very little filing and very small, The wine bottle of Chenin blanc turned up at table hadn’t been in fridge and was at room temperature, after tasting got offered ice to put in wine , declined offer of ice and sent back bottle, ordered a bottle of Italian sparkling rose from wine menu, given Spanish rose cava, not shown bottle or given opportunity to taste, sent back also also as too sweet for our liking would never of ordered Spanish cava from menu, overall just terrible and disappointing , reading other reviews cannot believe or understand other ratings maybe other clientele need to get out more or haven’t tried a really good Indian restaurant previously

Visited over Easter weekend , food nice but the service shocking , staff were so miserable and rude , not one smile all night! We ordered 2 Kingfisher and 1 Cobra when we arrived only to be served 3 Kingfisher, I politely said I would like a Cobra as ordered , waiters reply was “ they all taste the same” then just walked off. Not to cause a scene and upset the evening we just ate our food and left. 5 beers, popadoms , 3 mains, 3 sides one Nam bread £100 ! So not good value for money at all! Expensive miserable night out for sure! Will not be going back!

We never go any where else for an Indian meal. They get busy and sometimes there is a bit of a wait but it’s always worth it. Very friendly staff and Mina tries hard to ensure everyone is happy.

The Takeaway service was extremely busy, but the restuarant was not. The service in the restuarant was diabolical , the, I guess new staff, hadn't a clue what they were doing. We waited forever to order food which came out wrong. The Shaslick came out without any salad and the Balti tasted awful, We mentioned the salad and at they end they gave us a free coffee, Instant out of a jar!! This used to be a good restuarant but it has gone drastically downhill and we will not return.

We came back - and is must be over two years. The owner, a very nice bloke, greeted us like we have never gone away and remembered us like we were there yesterday. I had prawn Puri followed by Chicken sizzler and nan. Really tasty - hot and flavorsome. My wife, a prawn starter followed by prawn curry. Very odd I know. But she said both were very good indeed. Good portions and all piping hot. We will be back very soon. Tiny criticism would be there was no "wipes" for hand washing. Yes there was sanitizers - but I do like to freshen up with the pre-packed hand wipes before and after such a meal. Total bill was £61 - including three beers between us. So very reasonable. Highly recommended.

We have been getting take away from the Mogal for 5 years and have always thought it was the best Indian in the area, but the take away we had today was outrageously bad. Onion bhaji was cold and uncooked in the middle , naan had clearly been microwaved to death and was tough as old leather and inedible, meat was dried out. Had to throw most of it in the bin it was so bad and that is saying something in our household! One of the worst takeaways I’ve ever had. Poor show indeed.

Really enjoyed the two curries I tried. The garlic curry packed a punch & lovely fresh tomatoes in the Rogan Josh. The samosas are very small but you get two as a starter instead of one big one & price wasn't too bad. Disliked the onion bahji as had no flavour & was very dry in the middle, not at all crispy which I woud have expected. Maybe that is how they are done here?I would order again, but takeaway too two hours instead of the one hour as stated online & on my confirmation. I had to reheat the food as it was going cold. Called after 1.5 hours to check my delivery & no apology for the delay. Eating at 8:30 instead of 7:30 was a shame but now know to order earlier in future.

We went to this restaurant for my Mum's birthday after my father and her walked past it and found the smell of the cooking outside to be too much to resist. The food was simply outstanding. It was incredibly flavorful and not greasy at all and you could tell the ingredients the chef was using where fresh and no grease in sight. It was very COVID secure and having air conditioning made the meal even more pleasant. There is nothing worse than having a curry in a stuffy room. I cannot recommend this place enough. The lamb shank as recommended by the wait staff was so amazing. The depth of flavor was just so intense but not too rich. The beer was great and the hose wine was so good. Thank you to Minar and Sunu for and all the staff for their most outstanding service and food. We will be returning for sure. I wish them all the staff and their business the very best.

Another really excellent take away Sunday Lunch. . So hot and fresh, even though we drive some 3 miles to collect. But easy to park in road outside to collect. The.prawn puri is a great starter. Then we had the Maharajah special which had so much juicy chicken breast meat and fresh mango that there was some left to freeze. The chicken bhoona was equally large, again with juicy chicken breast. Sag bhaji and pilau rice complimented the other dishes.

We love our Indian food but was very disappointed with this restaurant. Starters were bland and unattractive but the worst was to come. One sizzle dish was acceptable but the two curries we ordered were just swimming on oil with no sauce at all on both, rice also greasy. All in all really below average. Average service too, they are obviously doing something right as it's been around for a long time but we wont be returning

There seem to be a lack of communication when we first got there as we were asked twice by staff if we would like drinks and then a completely different person bought them over afterwards. We ordered and received the wrong food and when my curry came out it was watery. The staff collected our plates when we had finished with no mention of if we'd enjoyed our food and even asked if we wanted the dessert menu. We asked the lady for the bill and didn't get it. So we got up after 25 minutes and went to the bar to get it ourselves. The staff were walking past us the whole time laughing and talking to the other tables of people. When it came to paying the bill. They couldn't decide between them who was going to take our money. The experience there was poor from start to finish and we won't be going back there or recommending it to anyone. Very expensive for what it is!

I don't think I've ever written a review for an Indian takeaway before but I felt compelled to on this occasion. We stopped in quite late on a journey back to Suffolk from the Essex coast. The food took quite a while to prepare for a takeaway but I can honestly say it was 100% worth it. Every dish was beautifully spiced, fragrant and still hot when we got home.I could tell it was going to be good when I opened the package for the shish kebabs - and discovered they weren't orange/red from food dye.Rather than being homogenous and samey, every single curry had its own unique flavour, and the meat was tender and fresh - no rubbery 'fake' chicken in sight. The lamb dhansak was perfumed and gently sweet and sour, chicken tikka bhuna spicy with a bite of citrus, bombay potatoes infused with fresh fenugreek leaves and chana masala heady and packed with flavour. We all decided it was much better than our 'local' and it will be our first port of call for a takeaway next time.

It seems strange to write a poor review for a restaurant that seems to have so many good reviews. There were a number of problems from the start. So much for eat out to help out - more like eat out to cheat out. My problem here isn’t with the food although that was at best average and my dish tasted burnt but my partners was fine. No, the problem here lay in everything else. The waiter was overly familiar and even sat down beside my partner to the point where she had to tell home he was too close. Under normal circumstances this might be jolly banter but in a time of social distancing it was very poor conduct - particularly in light of the higher risk group that both the waiter and my partner are in. When we sat down they delivered popadoms and mixed dips but we didn’t even ask for them. Then when we came to pay the bill it appeared that in order to beef up the bill prices were being rounded up and inflated. The hardest thing to swallow was the cost of two soda water and limes. We paid £8.00 for the two. That’s just extortionate. Then when the final bill came to £38 he charges us 20 quid instead of £18. I was so dumbfounded at this attitude I wish I had said something at the time. I won’t be going back there again but I guess the food was okay in fairness.

To me the quality of the food found at The Mogul can’t be beaten. I used to regularly order a takeaway when I lived more local but am now prepared to drive from Colchester from time to time to pick one up as I can’t find one locally which lives up to it.

Another great meal, although our 'usuals' weren't quite up to the normal exceptional standard that we have come to expect - nevertheless, still very good!. Embarrassingly I was also the last to review this establishment but at least the 4* rating shows that I am not over biased and still critique to the same standard as I do others. Service was exceptional and extremely friendly and done in a timely manner. Don't let this 4* rating put you off - I'm definitely going back as it's still the best Indian restaurant, in my opinion, in the Ipswich/Colchester area. Thanks!

I have been eating regularly at The Mogul restaurant for 25 years. The food is exceptional, tasty and highly flavoursome. We often have food to takeaway as well and it is always of a high standard. Mina and his team are very attentive and try hard to please all of their customers.

The Mogul is always at the top of my list when I want Indian food. The food is quite exceptional and, in my opinion, difficult to beat anywhere in Suffolk/Essex. Not only is the food superb but the staff are also incredibly courteous. I would definitely recommend for both eating in and take-away, although worth booking if going on a Friday or Saturday evening as it gets extremely busy (no surprise there!)

Having never had a bad experience I was extremely disappointed with the hour wait for my takeaway. Some honesty on the wait wouldn't have gone a miss and resulted in me cancelling the order at 21:30hrs having placed it at 1940. I appreciate how busy it was however the service was awful. I got my money back however minimal effort was made to make up for my experience. Absolutely gutted and will not be going back after tonight.

I cannot praise this establishment enough. I have been going here for well over a decade and the quality of the food (either eat-in or take away) never fails to disappoint. The managing owner is always on the premises and is extremely welcoming. Sometimes the service may not be as fast as some people require but, in my opinion, the food is well worth the extra wait. Once you have been here, you will never want to go to another Indian restaurant again. Well done, the Mogu!

Having never quite found a good curry restaurant in Colchester we travel to Manningtree for excellent food. Our second visit within a few months and superb food each time. The attentive waiters and owner are, aside from the food, what makes this place special. Prices reasonable too!

Minar & his team are always very welcoming - Usually a group of 10/12 of us but last night was just 4... As usual, food was lovely, service was polite but a little slow. Because of that, starters were on the house as was the brandy at the end of the evening! Although this was appreciated, we had the whole evening devoted to our friends & so it mattered not. We will be back again soon & can recommend the mushroom rice, dopiaza & peshwari nan.

The Mogul is a regular dining spot for ourselves and friends and, it seems, quite a few celebrities from the numerous photos on the wall.

This is a great restaurant with a sincere welcome and the sort of excellent service you haven’t experienced for many years. Minar, the owner makes every customer feel like they are the only ones in the place and furthermore, his favourites. You won’t be disappointed and will talk about your visit there fondly for many a year. It really is that good and we will be returning soon. The restaurant was full but the staff were always attentive and friendly. I really cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Just go and enjoy, it’s fantastic

For special family occasions, we take our children and grandchildren to the Mogul. We are always made most welcome and served delicious food. Last Saturday, the staff excelled themselves. They were very busy but remained calm and competent and served us with the best meal we have ever tasted.

I was very impressed with the kerb appeal, and it was as inviting inside as outside. Staff were extremely friendly and polite. My Sister and I got sat at a table within 2 minutes of arriving although had booked a table that afternoon. Food arrived fairly quick and looked and tasted wonderful. I had eaten Indian food before but this was of a high standard and every dish had its own distinct flavour. The staff could not do enough for the customers and I felt very welcome and would definately come back here again and highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Late on Friday night, I was warmly welcomed by the owners, I was given fresh tasty mango whilst waiting for my take away. I cannot describe in words how perfect my food tasted. The order was perfect, generous portions, the chicken was extremely moist, the popadoms were light and crispy. The naan bread cooked perfectly! This is by far the best Indian I've tasted in ages. The restaurant look spotless and it was buzzing. My food arrived in a good time and it was hot. The cost of my food was very resonable and I can't wait to go back. Thankyou to all of the staff! Bloody delicious. yum yum

It's one of the best curries we have ever had in a long while. Staying at the Premier Inn, we found Tandoori Nights while Ten Pin Bowling 🎳 on Google, so we ordered and collected on the way back to the hotel. We grabbed a bottle of wine from Best Supermarket up the road on Rosemary Road while it was being made. Fantastic flavour, good portions, and great service with a bit of banter with recommendations. We stay in Clacton a lot, so we now have our regular curry house. Tikka Masala, Lamb Balti, Potato Bombay Aloo, Rice and Nan £30 bargain.

Amazingly tasty dishes, that were all well timed & delivered by a very friendly service. The place it's kept clean and tidy, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to dine out. Very reasonable in pricing for the fine quality of food given. Easily the best place for Currys in the area. Been local for 25+ years. Go here! - JIIM (@jiim_music)
