The Muntjac in Bedford

The muntjac is great for two reasons, the Pub and the restaurant. As soon as you enter your greeted with a friendly community in the pub, then in the next room to the side of it you get the restaurant, full of friendly staff and a interesting glass display of a fish tank in old well, the food is decent and the service is moderate, only issue is the toilet hygiene is very neglected, other then that totally go there!

Really nice meal and good service, Delivery driver could not take card ,It was OK for us just to phone with details. very trusting

We’ve enjoyed another Sunday night curry from Harrold’s Indian. Great food, great flavours and great service. Thank you!

Lovely take away meal from here , great service over the phone and quick delivery! Very satisfied! Will be using again soon!

Haven’t had a meal here for a while even though very local to me. So decided this Sunday gone to give the Muntjac another try. Probably the best Indian take out meal that I’ve had in years. Perfectly cooked...very tasty...no oily substance you find in some take outs. Tell you this it won’t be ages to try another.

What a great evening!! Attentive staff. Lovely food! Definitely recommend. Best curry house in Harrold ❤️

Good place to get to and very good service. The food was exceptional and I will look forward to coming here again.

Amazing staff so friendly, the food is so nice especially the garlic narn, definitely recommend to everyone

Really friendly service, the best curry we’ve had in a very long time!! And the the price is incredibly reasonable! Would highly recommend, thanks for a lovely evening! :)

We made a telephone order for a take-away from this restaurant, whilst visiting family in Bedfordshire on Saturday 18th January 2020. When we got the food home, we discovered that two items were missing. We phoned the restaurant and were told that the missing food would be delivered. We were hungry and, not wanting to let the food go cold, we started to dish it out. However, about ten minutes later, we received a phone call from the restaurant, presumably the boss, to tell us that the missing food would not be delivered. We asked for a refund of the £15.00 we had paid for the food not supplied, but he refused. He then questioned whether we had a receipt, even though they had not given us a receipt. The only concession he would make is that we could go back to the restaurant and order the missing items. That would have meant somebody leaving the dinner table to collect it. In view of the fact that the previous collection process had taken about half an hour, we decided just to carry on eating what we had on the table. We assured the person on the phone that we would not use there restaurant again. We would not recommend this restaurant, but, if you do order a take-away, we suggest you check that all the items that you have been charged for are in the bag.

First visit to the Muntjac Indian restaurant on my daughters birthday, food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely go back.

Really happy with the service an food, staff made us feel very welcome, all very friendly, would definitely be returning.

This was always one of my absolute favourite Indian restaurants and the new operators have managed to raise the bar. I went for my old favourite of King Prawn Vindaloo plus some classic sides and it was all fantastic. The rest of my party on this particular night tried Tandoori Salmon, Chicken Madras and various side orders. All of which were excellent and good sized portions.

Since coming under new management we’ve had a couple of poor experiences with take-aways - both times the order was wrong - first time a complete dish was missing, second time we had the wrong item but decided to let it go as overall the food was pretty good. However, on tonight’s 3rd (and final) order, I was overcharged by nearly 20% (it sounded high so I subsequently checked). Upon reporting this to the delivery driver I was later informed that whilst I had indeed been overcharged by a smaller amount which was refunded to me, it was not as much as I thought due to the fact that they have a new menu now with higher prices! I pointed out that I’d ordered from the menu and at the prices that is displayed on their website and even upon reviewing prices on the new menu, I’d still been overcharged by more than I was refunded. Not a great experience and it always amazes me that restaurants will do this when they are delivering locally! Anyway, there is another Indian in the village who will be enjoying our custom in future. Check your bills especially if ordering over the phone.

First Takeaway after the new owners took over. Decided to go for some new items on the menu and wasn't disappointed. The Curry I went for was well spiced and boosted in heat as I asked for, not swimming in oil either, like most curry houses. Tandoori Chicken was moist and well seasoned, poppadoms and dips were tasty. Took approx 30 mins from ordering to arrive. Not a bad thing as we had a beer in the bar next door. Also a bonus as there is large selection of lagers, ales etc without being stung with "Indian Restaurant" prices. Lots of new dishes on the menu so Ill give another one a go next time.

We are in a temporary cottage and went to the the local Indian on a whim . We both had starters land tikka and vegetable samosa both very good and super fresh (£3 odd you can’t beat it)

Went in last Friday the food was just so amazing and the staff were really friendly and gave us a very quick service I recommend going Harrolds Indian and try their dishes I had a Chef Special Tawa is was fantastic. Harrolds Indian was way better then Spice their food was tasteless and awful wouldn’t recommend going their it’s a waste of money

I went Harold’s Indian last Friday abd it was very busy but the service was outstanding and the food was piping hot and tasty i had a kabuli it was outstanding I would go back again if I didn’t live far away . Everyone else in the restaurant was happy and amazed at how quick the service was and how tasty the food was I would recommend people going to Harold’s Indian.

Went here for New Year after seeing it was number 1 on here. However although the food was nice, it seems that they were prioritising the bar area and takeaways over the restaurant customers.

Ate there a Saturday evening with two friends. Whilst the food was good, mine especially Muntjac Chicken very tasty, the service needs a massive improvement. So if you don’t mind waiting ages to get a drink and the staff hardly speak never mind smile then you will still have a great meal. Maybe the young chap taking our order was new to the ropes but he needs some coaching on communication and keeping a eye on what’s happening. Such as its nice to have starter plates cleared before the main course arrives. There was no offer of coffee or dessert. What is going on with this place. Is it that they’re so busy with takeaways seated customers are just too much? Good rapport with punters can only brings us back!!

First class clean accomidation At reasonable rates landlady very Professional and friendly Ideal for business or short stay In a very picturesque village

I have visited this restaurant many times with family, friends and colleagues and usually I am impressed with both the service and food.

Went here a couple of times on the trot when in the area. Generally good food and excellent service. Recommend the house special which had a good kick - can’t remember the name but will defintely return to be burnt again

My friend and I swung by on a very warm Thursday evening. We were swiftly shown to a choice of tables. Safe to say we elected to sit by window. Upon receipt of both the drinks and food menus we did notice that there was plenty of choice. Upon ordering our drinks which arrived in no time we got stuck into the menu. Along with Popadoms we both chose the Tandoori Salmon to start. I chose the Chicken Muktaj, Chilli Rice and a Garlic Naan. My friend went for a Chicken Makonwala, Egg Rice and a Peshwari Naan. I have to say that the food was spot on. Well cooked, hot and very very tasty and arrived in a suitable amount of time.

This could be Harrold’s Best kept secret..tucked away behind a Pub this charming little place is compact and full of character. We’ve been coming here regularly for eight years which speaks for itself. Food is always tasty, well presented, and staff are obliging and always friendly..our regular treat!

First and last visit here. Smiling is free and makes people feel welcome - I would suggest the staff try it.

We went during the week so the place was not full. The food was good and not too expensive. It's a bit of a strange set up with the restaurant at the back and the pub at the front but it seems to work.

I use both Indians in the village Both very good I particularly enjoy the takeaway from the muntjac Service by Nanu is always excellent

Local village night out with old friends. Pleasant staff who were attentive and speedy. Priced reasonably especially given that it has limited competition. Locals very welcoming too. Definitely worth a visit!

Vivimos en la aldea vecina y esta fue nuestra primera visita el Muntjac. (sábado por la noche) El restaurante carece de ambiente y algo necesita ser hecho sobre el vaiven oscilante (o no! ) puerta de la cocina. Nos preguntaron si habíamos hecho la reserva (nos habíamos ido a spec) y, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba a menos de medio lleno, nos dieron una mesa enfrente de la cocina y altavoz inmediatamente debajo de la música. La comida era buena, excelente, pero el personal popadoms necesitan aprender cómo sonreír! !

Fuimos allí por primera vez con amigos. Nos recibió una camarera muy amable llamado Jess, llevaron a nuestra mesa enseguida y nos preguntó si nos gustaría bebidas para empezar. . . . . . . . . Qué menú que era, la selección gin aquí es razón para venir en su propio! De todos modos, ella tomó nuestra orden y bebidas llegó rápidamente y muy bien presentados, gin, con un montón de hielo y una rebanada de lima, aguas cristalinas y amargo agradable en vasos de cerveza

Tuvimos otra comida encantadora, tercera vez en semanas recientes. Cinco de nosotros todos tuvimos comidas diferentes. Todo el mundo estaba impresionado. Especialmente el pollo Korai. Curry vegetariano fue preparada como solicitado. . . bastante concurrida para un martes por la noche, el servicio era bueno como siempre. Precios muy buenos también. Sin duda volveremos

Primera visita a la India una semana o así, y no como una decoración refinada como un montón de bonitos restaurantes indios con unas cuantas copias baratas en la pared, las sillas eran inmundas.

Abandonadas para mí por una semana me duró hasta el último día en la tentación de una comida India con amigos. Sólo tuvimos un plato principal en esta visita, que me ha enseñado una lección. Siempre tengo cordero tikka como entrante, pero este me dejó como mi plato para un cambio. Llegamos sizzling a la mesa, fue excelente, muy agradable. Tanto mis amigos pensaron que su comida era excelente también. Yo sabía el salmón y estuvo muy bien, muy bien preparado y bien sazonado. El Muntjac parece hacer pescado especialmente bien, pero soy una criatura de hábito y no hemos elegido un plato de pescado hasta la fecha.

Fuimos un martes, así que estaba tranquilo y el servicio atento. La comida era estupenda, y a un precio razonable. Mi favorito era el cordero, que sabía korai increíble. Sin duda volveré. Comida estupenda!

Nuestra primera visita a la Muntjac. Excelente comida y servicio. Sin duda volveremos! La comida era muy sabrosa y

Después de la noche disfrutamos al pobre de paraíso en sala acojedora dice elena Spice Village unas semanas atrás, siempre destinado a probar el Muntjac así independientemente. Bien, después de esta noche estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. El lugar es un pub encantador -...

Recomiendo el Muntjac indio, por el excelente para llevar con una amplia gama de opciones de menú. El plato de cordero Shashlick teníamos mossala era muy sabrosa y muy tierna. Los trozos de pollo en el pollo peppermint entrante tenía obviamente ha sido marinado y preparado adecuadamente en un pincho. Con ingredientes de cocina adecuado.

A favourite local restaurant. Plenty of choice on the menu, friendly staff, high quality food and great beer from the pub. Really good for children and love the fish tank. I have been many times and will be going again.

My partner and I found ourselves in Bedford and on finding Harrold Country Park for an afternoon in the sun we used google to help us locate somewhere close to eat. We came across The Muntjac and it's good reviews and thought why not. We weren't disappointed! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I'd highly recommend this place for a nice curry

An enjoyable meal was had by my wife and I last evening. The surroundings are nice and pleasant, and the food and service were excellent. Shall eat here again.

Hospitality was good as they squeezed us in on a busy night. drinks order was a bit mixed up but easily rectified with a free pint. Recommend the house bottle of red

Moved into Harrold August 2015 and have eaten at the "Harrolds Indian" 14 times so far! Never have we tasted Indian food like it! We have tried other places, but nothing compares with this restaurant!The muntjac pub is also lovely with really nice welcoming staff. Well done and keep up the good work!

We are regulars at the Muntjac but tonight was exceptional! Fantastic food and when the management knew it was our wedding anniversary they gave us a bottle of fizz to help us celebrate - thank you! The food is excellent, menu varied with plenty to suit every taste. Service is good, efficient and helpful without being intrusive. The beer is also excellent - a proper ale as my husband would say! Definitely recommend to couples and families alike. Thanks again for making our evening special.

Top quality food & service!! Just celebrated my birthday with 14 friends on a busy Saturday evening:) the restaurant was full and we had an amazing meal and a great service:) all of us were very happy with everything:) I have always had a great dinner in this restaurant! Always brilliant!! Thank you:)

Went here for a family birthday and as usual, food was great. Nothings too much trouble as staff all very friendly and the chefs always up for a chat.Food seems lighter than normal Indian food, more fragrant and fresh. Having the pub at the front is also a bonus as an after dinner drink is always good.Cant recommend highly enough.

Seeking somewhere for a short stay whilst visiting Bletchley Park (and not worrying too much about a bit of a drive on the day – 45 minutes) I stumbled across the Muntjac as a possibility. We wanted somewhere more interesting than Travleodge or similar; somewhere with character and not expensive either. We also wanted somewhere we could eat well and enjoy a drink without going too far from our beds.This small country pub has been extended to include not only an Indian restaurant but also three ground floor guest rooms for those visiting the area. So, where to begin? Well, let's say that the restaurant was everything the positive reviewers have said to-date: great! Four of us enjoyed an early Saturday evening meal. The service was friendly, helpful and allergen aware. My wife, who requires gluten free meals, was very pleased with the attitude of the staff, describing her meal as one of the best she's had. No ill effects at all. Certainly recommended.As for the rest of the Muntjac...it's a pleasant place for a short stay. We had the two double bedrooms. These were compact, featuring a king size bed each, small en-suite 'bathroom' with shower cubicle (no bath), a small fridge and the makings of cereal-based breakfasts, complete with milk, tea/coffee and bottled juices. We were recommended to try the nearby Tea-Zels for a larger, cooked breakfast if that was what we wanted. The rooms were comfortable, clean and fine for laying your head down for a couple of nights. No frills, but certainly convenient for the short walk to/from the restaurant and pub bar.Our landlady was unfailingly helpful and friendly, looking after us well but without fussing. One small problem: they're not set up for card payments outside the restaurant yet.The bar itself is small: large enough for a pool area (no, not the swimming variety!) plus a handful of tables. There's a TV for entertainment. Behind the bar are an impressive row of gins plus a good selection of whiskies. A handful of bottled craft ales supplement a row of up to five real ales on pump.Disadvantages? Watch the entrance to the car park, it's narrow and the parking itself limited. That said, the car of a member of staff was moved to allow us to park ours. Oh, and the bar gets full very quickly – we opted to retire to our rooms with our drinks when it got busy.

we were staying at the Muntjac and booked to eat, which is essential at the weekend. Staff friendly and know what they are doing re GF. Possibly the best ever meal I have had.....

A group of four of us had a takeaway on the 30th. Although the restaurant was fully booked (which is why we hopped for the takeaway) it was no problem to take the order and deliver it to Turvey. The meal was one of the best Indian meals we have had. The lamb was so tender. Well done and thanks to the staff.

Great food, great staff, great chef.Need say no more.Booked the whole place for 30 people and had nothing but great comments from all.It made my partners birthday a memorable occasion and we are already planning to do the same on my birthday.

Visited here with friends and it's everything that people say it is! Excellent food, superb service, friendly atmosphere. We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and will definitely visit here again

The restaurant is nicely decorated, and comfortable. The young woman who waited on our table was very charming and personable, and knew the menu very well. All the food was really tasty, and the chef offered to cook anything I wanted without chilli to cater for my dietary needs. Very reasonably priced food, and drink as well as being good!

We visited Harrold's Indian again last night for a meal with friends. Somehow, although we've been countless times before, they still manage to impress us! I had a superb chicken tikka vindaloo and Nicola her favourite salmon dish. We also had sides of onion bhagi, Naan bread, pilau rice and sag bhagi, all of which were excellent. We use all the restaurants in this little village and we really are lucky to have such a choice, this one though, is a cut above. Whether it's for eating in or takeaway, I couldn't recommend it more highly.

We've only tried a takeaway from here but it was very good. There's a nice range of fish dishes on the menu, plus all the old standards but with the options of chicken or lamb tikka rather than just chicken or lamb. The chicken tikka Dhansak was delicious, as was the Muktaj. The sag paneer was a little disappointing. Excellent nan and poppadoms. Decent pint of bitter whilst I was waiting to pick it up too.

Have visited this restaurant, Harrolds Indian, several times and it never fails to disappoint. The food is superb, fresh ingredients cooked to order. Nothing is too much trouble, if you fancy something different, just ask and any dish can be adapted to your taste. Another great thing about this restaurant that you don't find in many Indians is the monkfish and salmon selections. Great beer and an amazing selection of gin available from the pub adjoining the restaurant , the best of both worlds! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Love the Indian here, their salmon starter is yummy! Service is always good. Make sure you book as they get quite busy

Enjoyed our meal here. The service was warm, welcoming and efficient. Like the warm, cosy interior, especially the addition of fish to the internal well!I can highly recommend the tandorri salmon here which I had as a starter - delicious!Will definitely return for more....

We couldn't fault anything about our evening at the muntjac. The food was fantastic from a super menu which included salmon and monkfish. Service was excellent, friendly and great surroundings. Highly recommended.

Second visit for the banquet night and this was as good (if not better) than first.I had the garlic mushrooms to start and the Akori (? Think that's what it's called) chicken for main and veg curry side all very good - plus perhwari naan and rice. Accompanied by proper beer from the adjoining pub :-). My only complaint - couldn't eat it all - but they even gave solution for that - happy to provide doggy bags - result! Cost; £38 a couple with drinks (several beers each plus wine for ladies) and poppadom appetiser.Great authentic flavours (and yes I have visited India and Pakistan on more than one occasion and this food is a very good British equivalent at the price point).

Visited for a birthday meal. Friendly welcome and great food, beautifully served. Some of the best lamb I've had in an Indian restaurant. Highly recommended.

Our party of 4 called in early on Saturday 7th Feb and could not have had a better experience. The restaurant is very quaint with a deep well full of koi carp in the centre covered by glass which must be quite unique .The lady and gentlemen staff were faultless making us very welcome as first time visitors and the food was excellent.They work in conjunction with the splendid pub bar next door which also had a great selection of ales to enjoy.Do call in if you are out this way - You will not be disappointed!!!Thanks to all for a wonderful evening . .

Disided to visit the muntjac for a meal with friends last night had a lovely time great food and excellent service from the very polite staff I would definitely recomend giving it a try .

Great dinning in good take outs too was always told the other Indian in the village was better love it there too but this place has great staff it's better priced and so I favour this one now .

My wife & I plus 2 friends had an evening meal here on Feb 5th. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, while the ambience and atmosphere were superb. It was without doubt the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. We shall certainly go there again, with great confidence and enthusiasm.

Having been recommended to us, we gave this Indian a try. What a shock we had when we were greeted by Jess who previously worked at Spices of Paradise! All I can say is the food here was excellent, the service friendly & the atmosphere warm and welcoming. This is our new favourite Indian!

This is my favourite Indian restaurant, each dish is incredibly tasty always different and the service is outstanding. We come here with friends, family, on our own - or just have a takeaway. My favourite here is the Salmon - unlike any other salmon I've ever eaten, however last night I opted for something a but different - the Muntjac Chicken. It didn't disappoint and was equally as delicious as anything I've had before, slightly sweet and sour with the perfect bend of spices. I'm looking forward to my next experience!

Food brilliant. Service incredibly friendly. I always have a great time wether with family or friends. The food is so good, every dish I try for the first time doesn't disappoint.The restaurant itself is so cozy, I don't like to leave.

I came here for the second time hoping it would have improved but the service was over dramatic which made me feel quite uncomfortable as it's such a small space of a restaurant. The food was pretty bland and it just didn't fall to my taste. Presuming that was poor recommendation or it was just the curry. The waiters were happy to share their past experiences with us which isn't very appealing when I come out to eat with friends! I suppose this will be my last visit. The reviews really do baffle me but I suppose it counts as a pub as well.

Been away for while, and missed our Muntjac meal.Staff extremely friendly, food as and what you would like, ask for something different and you will get it !!!Best part ...get a pint of beer next door while your meal is being prepared.what this place enjoys is that if you feel something wrong with your meal.....they will look after you....could not fault the service and the attention..not over zealous.see you soon....Scummer !!!

light snack whilst i was drinking and its was amazing, ive also ordered curry's from here in the past! brilliant! please god

Normally always have a take-away from here but decided to have a sit down for once. I must say the revamp makes it look like a different restaurant. The new colour scheme make a change from the normal dingey red and yellows found in most Indian restaurants which in my opinion is a good thing. The food is spot on like always, especially the Salmon dishes. You pay for drinks what you pay at the bar, so you know your not getting "stiffed" in that department unlike most Indians. Overall a pleasant experience, friendly staff and food with plenty of colour and flavour.

Not the first time here, but its been a while since last time, nothing has changed, still excellent, friendly, clean and great food, won't leave it so long next time.

Quite good to go to the ;pub for a drink and then be able to have a meal. The restaurant is a bit quirky - there is a glass cover well in the floor.There is a good selection on the menu which is served hot with hot plates.The staff are really helpful and friendly.

We have been there several times now and it seems to be getting even better. Lurking at the back of the pub and not too many covers - book at busy times. Last night I had onion bhajees - the flat variety with a delicious browned outer layer, followed by mixed tandoori meats with bombay potatoes. I know meat and tatties, but it was excellent with prime meat with sprinkled with a thick sauce and a side sauce in addition. Not the usual dry stuff. It was one of the more memorable dishes of 44 years of curry eating all over the world.

Visited tonight for a family meal, excellent food. Wonderful service going the extra mile so my son could taste Madras sauce and see just how hot it is! Be back soon!

great beer and foodgood staff and a friendly place to spend a few hours with friends and neighbours and a great Indian restaurant to boot

Out with friends from Harrold, I visited Harrolds Indian for a 2nd time (the first was December 2013 - I did a review then too). The food was excellent, the service was very friendly but not overbearing, the drink selection was much better than any other Indian restaurant I have been to (probably because it is a pub as well!), the price was very reasonable - all in all another great night! I would definitely recommend this restaurant, just wish I lived closer!

We have eaten here a couple of times. The food is good, what you would expect on the menu. The service is excellent - the staff are always very helpful, welcoming and friendly. A nice place to eat out

Very much refinding its form in face of stiff competition down the road from the Spices of Paradise. We eat in both restaurants regularly but the 'novelty' of the Spices has somewhat worn off and we are finding ourselves increasingly drawn back to the Muntjac. At the end of the day, the welcome, service and staff are, in our opinion, better and food is pretty good too. Keep up the good work!

Fairly simple standard menu but well cooked and plenty of it. Service is excellent and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is hidden behind the pub so don't be surprised when you walk through the front door and it doesn't look like an Indian restaurant!

We have been to this restaurant three times now and each visit was excellent. Delicious food and great service. Our last visit was with our friends last Sunday evening on a bank holiday weekend and we had absolutely an amazing meal! looking forward to our next visit already:)

Great food and friendly service without breaking the bank. Josh will also adapt his cooking or make a requested dish if he can. A great informal night out.

I am a regular supporter of the Harroild Indian Cusine. Josh has supplied food in the restaurant for family and friends both inside or take away for a number of years. The food is always tasty, I am not a true spicy person but enjoy the Indian experience.The staff are always very helpful and will bring good British drinks from the bar next door. Josh always comes to see me and has delivered to my door.The same attention to detail has always been there even with a party of 16-20.For a good deal go on a Monday or Wednesday the Banquet Nights.CCHarrold Indian Cusine is the original indian in Harrold...

Fantastic food, fantastic service, just the best curry house for miles around! Never let's us down! Always try Nicola's salmon, it's the best.

Promised to do a comparison having eaten recently at the Spices of Paradise, and the Muntjac a few days later, both are in Harrold ( so this is a tad late ). I thoroughly enjoy the food at this restaurant. As with Spices of Paradise, it isn't a Bombay Brasserie or Veeraswamy, but doesn't pretend to be. It offers good value ( especially banquet nights ), good quality food. Sauces used to be a bit on the sweet side, but less so nowadays. The service is good, the staff friendly and drink prices are normal ( drinks come from the Muntjac pub, not the restaurant per se ). I will continue to patronise the Muntjac, and not just because it in my my "local". Personally I would rate the overall experience slightly higher than The Spices of Paradise, but I know other friends who think the other way around, a bit like the Four Pillars / Spice Garden scenario in Olney. Enjoy !

The food here is excellent. Seven of us had pop's, starters and mains with various sides, breads and rice and it was all very good indeed. Friendly service, nothing too much trouble, and when they made a mistake in the kitchen and sent out an extra dish that no one in the restaurant ordered, they gave it to us!Things you should or may like to know about Muntjac (Harrold's Indian Cuisine). Situated on the High Street the building houses a free house (pub) and restaurant. The front door from the street is straight into the small pub, dominated by quite a long bar and otherwise comprising a small number of tables/chairs, bar stools, sports TV and pool table with some bench seating. Service was prompt and locals friendly enough!There is a small gravel car park to the rear of the pub and a side door from the driveway into a lobby off which are doors to the bar, restaurant and toilets. Under 14's are only allowed in the bar during the early evening while it's quiet, but with the side door you can get to the restaurant without needing to go through the bar.Entering the restaurant via a small reception area there are two smartly dressed rooms with a small number of tables in each. The first room features a glass floor topped well with gold fish swimming down below in flood lit waters. Tables attractive with linen cloths and napkins. Waiters smartly dressed in house "uniform". Initial impressions all positive.Good number of choices available on the menu with some unusual dishes too. They are happy to go off menu or adapt dishes to your personal taste also. We had two side dishes that weren't on the menu, and had more chilli added to a medium curry (our idea of medium was hotter than theirs). Everything we had was great. There are a few English dishes available too.Drink orders are fulfilled from the bar by the waiting staff on a cash basis. At the end of your meal there will be two bills, one for food and one for the bar. By chance we paid by cash. It seems cards are accepted for food (although a handling charge may apply according to the take away menu), but it appeared that cash was required for the drinks. (You can take your pre-dinner drinks from the bar through to the restaurant too)There are a variety of offers advertised, from eat as much as you want buffet on Sundays (£9), to a deal on Monday's and Wednesday's (two courses for £10), and an £10 voucher on bookings of six or more (although when I asked about that I was given a loyalty card giving £10 off a meal after five visits). Also free delivery or 10% off collection on orders over £12.If in the area again would definitely eat here without hesitation. The lamb tawa was delicious, really was full of flavor and the meat was very tender. Only visited as a result of TA reviews, so thanks to those that went before me, a great recommendation, and hope many more give it a try as these guys have a great place.

Located at the back of the pub. Always excellent quality, whether dining in or ordering a take-away. Food is delicious and freshly prepared. A warm welcome always awaits and the service is brilliant. The only restaurant Ive ever been in where you can stand on a glass floor and look down into a well with goldfish in it!

We love the Muntjac's food, and the service as always perfect. They're accommodating, will make dishes not on the menu if you request, will make good recommendations and will make food milder for the kids. You'll normally have to book on Friday or Saturday night, but it's generally easy to get in the rest of the week. Wednesdays are good value with special deals....we wouldn't bother going anywhere else as the Indian's we've tried in Bedford have never matched the Muntjac.

Tucked away behind a village pub in Harrold, this is a hidden gem of an Indian Restaurant. All food is cooked fresh and, as other reviewers have said, can be customised to your liking.Personally I like it hot and there is a local favourite know as the 'rob special' which claims to be the hottest dish on the menu. I can personally testify that this is a dish to blow away the cobwebs yet still very tasty!Excellent selection of real ales and wide range of other favourites available from the bar.Thoroughly recommend!

The food at the Muntjac, which is tucked behind a local pub, is fantastic. They are really accommodating - if you want a particular dishes milder or hotter you only have to ask - and if there is something specific you want that's not on the menu they are only too happy to make it for you. The staff are attentive and great with the kids too. (Opening at 5.30, its great to take them earlier). The menu is extensive and reasonable. The only thing you do have to remember is to take cash to pay for the drinks, which are billed separately from the bar.

Coming from a nearby village, we weren't really aware of this Indian restaurant which is separate to the pub it's connected to but clearly is in partnership with operationally.Could do with some marketing I think as we were very pleasantly surprised to find such a great Indian in a nearby village.Good food, professional & swift service, excellent menu...I could go on but I believe this is a nice little find, very good value considering for money too.The environment was cosy and slightly quirky which added to the character in my opinion.We reserved a table via their website e-mail details and I'm glad we did....it was a Friday and the both pub and restaurant were very busy and full, but it did make for a nice atmosphere.We'll return.

With all the international cuisine to be found in Bedford there is a surprise in the lovely In the North Bedfordshire village of Harrold - There is a traditional English Country pub 'The Muntjac' - with a traditional Indian Restaurant attached to it.It seems an odd compatibility but the food here is really good, the service friendly and accommodating, the price very reasonable.A small but nice restaurant and a delivery / take out service is also availableFor those who like a good, well cooked, fresh Indian Food take a trip out, you won't be disappointed.
