Primera visita que definitivamente no será la última. El servicio fue extremadamente bueno del personal muy elegantemente vestido. La comida era muy buena, con porciones muy generosas. Esperamos con interés nuestra próxima visita.

Visited last night with my family,for my eldest son's birthday. We all had the set menu, each course was delicious and full of flavour. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will be definitely be visiting again for our next curry meal out.

In the area due to work and fancied an Indian meal so chose this place. I can honestly say it is the wordy Indian meal I have ever had. The menu was extensive. Should have known at the outset when no one was in there .. but it was a Monday night and only 6.45pm. No wine listed on the menu but got told to look in the fridge and pick one from there! Then given two pakoras as a ‘treat’ which were cold and hard, The papadoms had been cooked in old oil and tasted stale and the condiments were clearly scraped out of a jar. I’m not too sure that the Raita was actually a raita but it looked and tasted revolting - a grey/beige colour. My colleagues main chicken dish was passable but my main dish was inedible. Advertised as ginger and something lamb bhuna but was mutton. The meat was gristly and fatty and tasted terribly. The sauce with it was passable at a push. The one saving grace was that the vegetable side of Sag Aloo and mushroom rice were ok. There was only one member of staff, an elderly man who was pleasant abd asked how our meal was and so was honest. He took my meal off the bill without asking which I appreciated and we noticed he had crossed it out and it had been written as mutton not lamb. The actual place is pretty run down so maybe we should have just avoided … my advice to anyone else is to do just this!!!!

Chicken wasn't half as nice as it normally was, and the sauce also wasn't as nice would only get a 6 out of ten from me tonight

I recently had breakfast at the Meridian Café in the Parrs Bank Hotel, as part of my stay and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The food was commendable and well-prepared, but what really stood out was the kindness of the staff. I found myself in a bit of a pickle with my phone battery running low because of whatever reason, all the power outlets in the hotel, my room included, were slow when it comes to phone power charging. One of the team members (didn't catch her name I'm afraid, but she was the only one at the bar and serving the meals) went out of their way to direct me to a nearby spot where I could purchase a power bank. This thoughtful assistance saved the day for me and turned a potentially stressful situation into a seamless one. The service here goes above and beyond, making it not just a meal but a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Visited the other night and was brilliant.. great food, friendly service and well priced. What more can you ask for?

Always an unbelievable and really enjoyable meal, I’ve never had a curry as good anywhere else. Everything is just top tier and the flavour of the food is incredible. We moved away from the area last year but still travel from Congleton because it’s honestly that good. The food is delicious, the service is just top quality and so attentive. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and it’s always guaranteed to be a great meal out. The range of options on the menu is just brilliant. The restaurant is super clean, well looked after and looks very modern. Once you go to Mahal, you won’t go anywhere else. Mega.

Relieved to find a takeaway that tasted like a restaurant and not a horrible trendy fusion whatever restaurant but a family run reliable, years old favourite restaurant. The food was great, the meal for 4 feeding 4 adults plus one usually fussy eating child. Spicy, fresh, hot food and welcoming service too. Definitely using this place again, looking forward to it.

Service. Staff politeness and great food The chicken Bhuna was the best I have ever tasted. The meat samosas WOW BRILLIANT.
