Popped in here for a very quick dinner before catching our train. Lovely staff seated us super quick and brought out some delicious dishes. I'd highly recommend the meat samosas, coconut rice and lamb madras - all standouts!
From the minute we stepped foot into the restaurant we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes! We were promptly asked if we would like a drink and popadoms and these were swiftly given to us.
Staff were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to tell us of certain dishes could be made without ingredients as all good is cooked to order!
The food was unbelievable, the chicken in both the curries and chicken tikka starter was delicious and it melted in the mouth! The excellent service continued throughout the meal as were we regularly checked on and asked if we needed any more drinks when our glasses were getting empty. All the food was brought out quickly and we didn’t have to wait long after ordering although the restaurant was very busy. If you want a delicious curry, this is the place to come!
Our whole experience at Mahdi Lounge was amazing, it was definitely worth the hours drive! We can’t wait to return and bring family with us so they can have a great experience as well!
THIS place was a very good find I love Indian food and this place has never failed in any area from service to quality.
I highly recommend you try it.
I visited quite a few times with my partner and 2 children we love this restaurant.
The owner knows how to deliver.....
We absolutely loved everything about Mahdi! Very warm welcome, the restaurant is spotless (white tablecloths and napkins too), and the entire meal was truly delicious. We also loved all the dips that came with the fresh papadum flat bread. Great overall experience!!
Treated ourselves to a meal here this week, after a long time. We were greeted so warmly by the owner. The food was beyond exceptional, absolutely the best meal I’ve had in a long time.
The service from the more junior waiters seemed a bit disjointed, one handing the menu and less than 10 seconds later, another wanting our order! I’m all for efficiency bit that was a bit rushed. That said all waiting staff were pleasant and we had a lovely meal. Will be back for sure.
Although already busy, the staff were extremely accommodating and we were able to get a table of three seated extremely quickly without booking. They were busy however, so booking during peak times is probably a good idea.
The food was impeccable, some of the best Indian that I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Poppadoms with a great variety of dips and sauces, could have done with a few more onions which I'm sure would have been provided if we'd asked, but we were eager to get to the main event so no points deducted for the smallest gripe.
Starters and mains were equally as delicious, with my entire party full to the brim, wanting to eat more but unable to fit any more in.
Fabulous food and hope to be able to visit again soon, the only downside was the beer which, although on tap did taste very metallic, which retracted from the experience somewhat.
If the option is there next time I'll probably go for a bottled drink or stick to water, but the food more than made up for it.
Thank you to the fantastic staff who made the experience as memorable as it was, although I didn't catch anyone's names there wasn't a bad apple amongst them and everyone was extremely accommodating.
My parties dietary requirements were straightforward, but the restaurant appeared to be incredibly flexible towards individual needs judging by their menus and overhearing requests from other tables which is always reassuring to hear.
I'd recommend a visit to anyone in the area with a taste for good food with a little spice, and look forward to my next meal at Mahdi Lounge.
Really nice meal. Friendly and helpful hosts. Good price. A cut above the standard local ‘Indian’ (Bangladeshi specialities here). The chutney selection which clearly didn’t come from the cash and carry was the hint that the meal would be good… and I wasn’t disappointed.
The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been too. The presentation is wonderful. The China s gorgeous. Vilroy Bosh. They are all very smartly dressed in gold jackets and very attentive.. The food perfect!. I can’t wait to go back again!
Very friendly and welcoming staff. My family were unsure of what to choose and the staff were very helpful with their recommendations. My family had meat options and I had the vegan choices and was able to have a vegan side as a starter and requested an off menu item ( lemon rice) which was extremely flavoursome. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable. As someone who is very particular with Indian food I found the food perfect. Even my Dad who is not usually a lover of Indian food was impressed.
I would 100% recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning again.
Loved our meal here! It wasn't on the menu, but I mentioned really loving achari curry, and the staff made something special - one of the best curries I've had in a long time. I'll be back!
