We called in here on the way home from the airport, we'd just got back from Kos and we hadn't eaten since breakfast so we were starving. The food was fabulous,the staff friendly. My husband said it was the best curry he'd had in a...long time.More

Rude owner! We were told our food would be ready at 8.10 and when we arrived they had ‘lost the order’ kept us waiting until 9 and didn’t apologise or seem to care in the slightest.

Absolutely amazing food, great service and a beautiful restaurant. I had never been before but the standard of service, restaurant appearance, cleanliness etc were incredibly impressive and that was before I tried the food. The meal was amazing we tried varied menu choices and we...were all exceptionally impressed. Can't wait to go back again... thank you all at Mughal for an amazing evening and wonderful food xMore

I definitely won't be ordering from here again. The chicken Tikka Starter we received had 6 tiny pieces of chicken in a pot a little bigger than a grape which were dry.. different curry's ordered but tasted the same & so hot I felt like...I was trying to eat a vindaloo... Definitely food gone down hill at this restaurant.More

Nice decor, pleasant staff & clearly v popular - but the food was so poor. The chicken pieces with the biriani were hard & overcooked & came with a small bowl of strange bright red sauce nothing like normal curry. In my veggie biriani sauce...there were a few small pieces of potato & nothing else & it had a strange glutinous conistency - it didnt look or taste like any curry I’ve ever had previously. We won’t be returningMore

Everything about the Mughal Empire is top notch. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the decor and the price. Can’t fault it.

Clean airy atmosphere. Pleasant friendly staff. Unfortunately food poor. Starters were bland. I order special chicken dish which turned out to be tandoori chicken pieces added to a mediocre sauce a bit gooey. My wife had prawn Korma tasteless with bullet prawns. So would not...be returning here….More

3 mates met last night after 28 years. Food and service were fantastic. Lovely decoration. Little outside area for a drink before or after your meal. Will be back!

We are fairly regular visits to The Mughal but on Saturday evening we had my parents' with me as we were celebrating my dad's birthday. Absolutely faultless. The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and the staff are very polite and friendly (so smart too)....We ordered a variety of favourites and all courses were well spaced. Some might have felt the wait between courses was excessive but this just helped us prolong our lovely family evening together as well as to allow the food to go down between each course. Our order included starters of onion bhajees, sheek kebab and lamb samosas and main courses of ginger chicken, chicken dopiaza, lamb dopiaza and chicken balti. The nan was perfectly crispy, burnt just as I requested and the rice was light and fluffy. We really couldn't find fault in anything and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We also felt that considering the amount of food/drink we ordered the bill was surprisingly reasonable. We had anticipated a larger bill and were pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to return. Only problem is that it makes me not want to visit any of the other restaurants locally. Stunning !!More

From the outside it looks a bit remote, but when you enter it's a beautifully furnished restaurant with a stylish feel. The waiters are smartly presented and thoroughly professional. I went with family so we tried a few dishes between us and they were all...delicious. I had the Sheek Kebab to start which was lovely and fresh and beautifully presented, I also tried the Kind Prawn Sukka, which was really tasty. For a main course I had Butter Chicken, very yummy and incredibly moreish, with Special Fried Rice and Peshwari Nan, all good. There was a bit of a wait between starters and main course, but it was worth it for the quality of the food. We went on a Tuesday and the restaurant was very busy, and had a steady stream of takeaway orders coming out of the kitchen. If I lived locally I would definitely go again, one of the best Indian Restaurants in the UK, in my opinion.More
