CURRY HOUSE - Mougins

We ordered and first no drinks delivery. after 45 Minutes of waiting, we are ready to leave, but put the timer on. 1. food was coming. it has to be mentioned that the restaurant was empty with 6 guests. after another 5 Minutes, the nan was coming. After we finished our chicken was ok, but not fresh) we asked for the ordered rice. In another 4 Minutes, rice has come. ordered the bill and told them to take the rice off the bill. The arrogant waiter answered... ordered are ordered... can't take out the bill. This place is the worth we have been to, normally everybody can make mistakes even after a pandemic, but bad food and bad service. too much... must people warn before they go.

We had really high hopes for this restaurant when booking it, as we had stumbled across a few evenings previous and decided to visit Mougins again just for this restaurant. Unfortunately, mostly everything about our experience was disappointing. We had rang earlier on in the day to reserve a table for the evening, a late booking around 9pm. When arriving we were seated in a tiny seating area round the corner from the restaurant (couldn’t see the door etc), the original gentleman who seated us appeared friendly but quickly changed his tune when we requested to sit on a larger table due to the amount of plates we knew we would have on the table (2x curry, rice, 2 x naans and drinks), he huffed and said but you never sat where I told you to sit (he basically just shooed us away to the corner). The food took over an hour to come and the curry was mediocre at best, just lacked usual curry flavour, making them very wishy washy and watered down. The waiter (young, tall), was very friendly and couldn’t do more for us and kept apologising on the restaurants behalf for the delays and basically been sat so far away if it weren’t for the bad service from the other waiter it would have been 4*. When asking for the bill they got that wrong too, just all seemed like they didn’t want us there. Disappointing as hoped for a lovely meal, but was the opposite

It seems this restaurant brings out the extremes in opinion, perhaps from some diners who are not acquainted with the Indian culture. After starting a conversation with the waiter his apparent abrupt manner disappeared and smiles replaced the straight face. The food was good and on a par with good Indian restaurants in the UK which is always a reasonable yardstick. For the starters the onion bhajis and aubergine pakoras were very good and the naan bread perfect. For the main courses the raita and curried side dishes were well prepared. The lamb biryani was not the best I have had but was not bad. Now, this is not a gourmet Indian restaurant but it is not common to find highly spiced food in France that almost meets the requirements of a curry connoisseur. If you are not too fussy about details and know something about Indian food before you enter, let the food speak for itself. If you can also deal with apparently but not actually rude restaurant staff you can have an interesting alternative from the high end French restaurants in this pretty hilltop town.

Reallllly unhappy with this place TINYYYYY portions, called to express my opinion and got A lot of shouting from a man. Ordered pilau rice for the second time and received BOILED..again.. Don't expect to pay 40 euros for A STARTER... TWO UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS!!

Good little restaurant with tasty indian foods. Pleasant and nice service, it's good to see an indian restaurant in Mougins Village. Prices are correct. I recommend!
