The best restaurants serving Indian food in Barnsley Yorkshire and The Humber

Food was half cold, it said collection was at 6:45, I was stood almost 20 extra minutes waiting - please don’t say it’s ready to collect when it’s not just for your order times. The food was blander than usual, great naan though.

This Restaurant has been going strong for near 4 decades; for all my adult life. My mother bought a house in the same year as this Restaurant opened, so I have always felt a special connection to it. It is part of the fabric of the Community of Penistone and I'd the first building you will see as you approach the turn off to Penistone's centre.its longevity speaks for itself. You are guaranteed tasty, quality food, prepared with care and you are guaranteed a warm welcome every time from the lovely people who work there. I noticed tonight that the owner taken on a particularly efficient and charismatic young man (whom i have also had the pleasure of being served byt at the fabulous Penistone Green Grocers; there is also a strong presence of the people who run things and an obvious pride and dignity about what the food they prepare.it is more than a taste of India...it is a taste of exactly how a business has been around for so long;a warm welcome every time because it is all about caring about and paying attention to people. I couldn't imagine Penistone without this landmark.

They manager women was so funny as I had such a wonderful meal with just 40 pounds and the decoration with the tree was so beautiful

Lovely people my favourite place in the whole world and amazing food always been lovely here been coming here now for over 2 years

Our go to place for an indian!!! Such good food, never had a bad meal from here, comes out piping hot and tastes delish. Staff are all lovely and make the dining experience even better. 100% recommend!!

takeaway ordered Sunday evening. bagged up and ready when we arrived to collect 30 mins after placing order. pathia and Naga curry spot on, mixed kebab very nice. beautiful garlic coriander nan bread. nice change from our usual will return in the near future

We’ve been dining out for ages. Foods always beautiful, friendly staff. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve been to. Interiors a bit simple but I think that’s the style they’re going for. Would highly recommend dining in

Wouldn’t order from here again, not our usual indian but it was £8 off Thursday etc so we thought we’d try.. small portions compared to other Indians and was luke warm… the chips/currys/rice… all luke warm

Friendly place, food fantastic,really clean place, good atmosphere and prices reasonable too.

Tasty meal perfectly cooked and friendly welcoming staff. Recommended!

first time ordering a takeaway from here, cold, bland and expensive at nearly £40. will not be using again, cannot recommend

I think zero stars is the correct rating for this joke of a “restaurant” , staff are speaking only in indian , the dishes and cutlery were dirty , avoid to eat from here!!!

Simply the best place we have ever been , the guys work so hard at giving you 100% service,, if you’ve not tried it ! Then do it The food is fantastic and service wow 🤩

First time back at Mahal for over 15 years when I used to work in Dodworth. It used to be s great place to eat. So disappointed with my visit last week. At first I just ordered poppadoms and a pickle tray. The poppadoms were soft. Ordered prawn puree starter, it was a large portion but wasn't like any puree I had ever had before and more like chicken in coconut soup wrapped in a fried chapati. I had a plain chicken curry with rice and garlic nan. The nan was nice, the chicken tasted nice and fresh. But the rice didn't seem right and the curry sauce tasted like it was out of a jar. Overall disappointed, probably the worst sit down curry I have ever had and I have had one most month's for the last 30 years. I would recommend the chef going to Akbars.

Tried their Donner Wrap and it was very mediocre, not bad, not great. A decent amount of meat and nice fresh salad. However the chip ship style chips were nice but didn't really go with a wrap, fries would've been more suited.
