A Half-Kilo Revelation: An Ode to Karahi Excellence In a setting where one’s culinary expectations might ordinarily remain modest, I was met — quite unexpectedly — with a dish of striking authenticity and quiet brilliance: half a kilogram of traditional Pakistani karahi, served unadorned, without rice or sides, and yet utterly self-sufficient. The meat was masterfully cooked — tender, richly infused with the bold aromatics of garlic, tomato, and green chilli, and nestled in a sauce that clung to the pan with the confident reduction of patient, practiced hands. This was not food hurriedly made; it was food remembered — a faithful rendering of tradition, served with purpose and pride. What elevated the experience beyond mere satisfaction was the service — gracious, attentive, and instinctively generous. Without prompting or charge, I was offered complimentary poppadums, a gesture that, while small, spoke volumes. It suggested not simply hospitality, but a philosophy: that food is to be shared, and excellence delivered without ostentation. That such a meal should be found tucked away in this corner of the city is a quiet triumph — a reminder that great cuisine does not announce itself with fanfare, but waits patiently to be discovered by those who still know how to notice. A richly deserved five stars.

Food was hot and very tasty highly recommend

Our second time here and it was just as good as the first. We had onion bhajis and mirch wali fish to start, the fish was gorgeous. For mains we shared lamb khumbhara, chicken khagani with mushroom rice and a garlic naan. The staff are lovely the food is great and they have some lovely pictures on the walls, what’s not to love! We’ll be back next month when we’re in Derby to see another band.

So much fabulous looking food to choose from you are truly spoilt for choice, freshly cooked, it is our go to place with excellent service from whoever is behind the counter.

Ordered a takeaway on New Year’s Eve and it was the best curry I’ve had on my visit to family in derby Superb cannot go wrong, I strongly recommend you to try the king prawn + chicken Masala

So nice I came back all the way from Grimsby to have another curry and I’ll definitely be coming back again!! Inside absolutely immaculate food superb and staff are absolutely amazing. Anyone visiting Derby this is the place to come to. Thank you again see you next time 👍 🍛 👏🏻

Great night catching up with a good friend. Food, as always, absolutely fabulous, the hospitality superb with friendly and polite staff and management. Cannot recommend highly enough. Bigs thanks to all the staff. See you soon.

Four of us went to mogul 2 week after reopening very impressed with the referb and the meal was fantastic thank you to all who work there

Food was good, service by the staff was amazing as nothing was too much trouble, they catered for everything we asked for. Disappointed in that we had a wedding tea party which was pitched to us as a high end experience by the manager over and over again. On the day we were promised to deliver particular trays with glasses which were non existent. Luckily I didn’t rely on it and bought it from home as a back up. The tea was served in some cheap cold drink cups that were too big and were only half filled (not the best look) The idea of not getting what you paid for and the response from the manager wasn’t great. Although we settled thanked the team and left. Wouldn’t be arranging anything here for the future, clear differences in what a good high end experience looks like…!! Wouldn’t have an issue if it wasn’t pitched as high end. That being said staff on the day were brilliant.

It's Closed Down No Longer Open.....

It’s ok for a quick munch nothing special apart from that and price wise ok
