Moghul And Takeaway - Leeds

We have a delivery from this restaurant very regularly and have been using the Moghul for many, many years . The food is always a constant of being really good and excellent value. Occasionally we go to the restaurant and it has a nice atmosphere and is often busy. Lighting is a bit too bright for a restaurant, but service and food presentation is always spot on.

I came here with 4 friends, for a birthday meal. The menu was interesting, and the food excellent, as was the service. We all enjoyed our food very much.

Visited on Good Friday, it looked busy but luckily we had booked beforehand. Ordered the lamb chops, chicken tikka and onion bhajis for starters, they were lovely. Bhajis were some of the best I’ve ever had. The sauce on the lamb chops was very nice as well. Had the Tandoori chicken for our main, tikka masala and a lamb balti. The tandoori chicken was absolute Devine, it came with a naan which we upgraded to a garlic naan, it was so garlicy and soft. The restaurant is rather small but it has a good atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Service was impeccable. Very reasonably priced for the location. I can see why moghuls was recommended to us by friends. It is bring your own alcohol if you forget they allow you to buy from the pub next door or you could nip to Morrisons up the road Would definitely recommend to curry lovers in the local area we will be back.

My family and I visited for my mother in law’s birthday. Although every table was filled in the small restaurant, we all left wondering why. Most of the family did not enjoy their starters with the lamb chops looking anaemic, tiny and borderline burnt. My MIL was also displeased with her liver starter. My fish was nice but only after covering it in sauces and wrapping it in the lettuce used to garnish my plate. The curries were very unremarkable with many of us finding our food to be bland with tough meat. My naan arrived completely burnt to the point of being black and was sent straight back to be remade. I understood they were busy with take aways but we were shocked that they even bothered to bring out that naan almost certainly knowing we would send it back to the kitchen. At the end of the meal, we were surprised at our near £300 bill for 7 people, given the quality of the meal we had just had. There are nicer curry houses within a reasonable distance with prices well below £45 per person. I would recommend going somewhere other than Moghul.

The onion Bhaji was dry and tasted reheated, while the curry had fatty meat and an unpleasant flavour. The sides, including undercooked bread and chips, were equally disappointing. Despite a previous disappointing visit, I gave it another try, but unfortunately, the issues persisted. Regrettably, I won't be returning based on these consistent experiences.
