Mogul Tandoori - Colchester

The service at this restaurant is fantastic. The food is always served hot and in generous portions. If I could give it 6 stars, I would, but unfortunately I can only give it 5 stars.

Used to go here regularly but due to dietary requirements decided to stop having curries. But we decided to go back and couldn't of been more impressed with the service and quality of the food. Popped in to see what i could have he went through the menu with me and the chief even came out to double check really impressed.

Where do I start? Absolutely awful Indian. We were customers here for over 20 years however they let us down, badly. They frequently delivered lemon tasting rice rather than plain boiled rice, being told to just get free rice on our next visit, fair enough. Next visit came, didn’t get free rice. Another visit- ordered a potion of chips, did not arrive and called and were told that this would be added onto our next order. This meal was the worst I ever had and has stopped me from ever going here again! I didn’t want to order again and because I asked for a refund for the chips ONLY which were not received they did not like like this and become abusive down the phone saying we’re bad customers, they hung up. They begun shouting unprovoked saying we would not get a refund for the chips. We reported to trading standards at this point as the abusive communications were completely unprovoked. A few days later at 10:30pm when my children were in bed there was several loud bangs at my door, it repeated in an aggressive way so it was ignored in fear. Money was put into an envelope £2) and said it was from them. Now to talk about their food. The curry’s are oily and tomatoes are out of a tin. The chicken is nothing like it used to be, the last straw was having pink chicken that caused me to vomit. There’s a reason this place has had a low food rating! Eat here at your own risk but this is a warning.

Never had a bad meal always on time and very friendly, food always tastes superb and very reasonably priced

This is our regular local curry takeaway. Whilst not the best this is good for the price charged. Portions good and meat/veg/prawns adequate. The flavours are sometimes lacking for authentic curry dishes but on the whole not bad Oliver Ciaravella
