Moti Mahal is our favorite Indian restaurant in KC. Reliably excellent service and balanced dishes. I think they have mastered the balance of how much yogurt/cream to use.

Mango Lassi, Naan, Saag, and Masala are our go-tos
March 2025
Pre-covid they had the best lunch buffet and I wish they would bring it back! I have been eating at Moti for several years and it is the best north of the river. Not only is the food delicious, the naan is some of the best I've ever had and the family that runs the place is warm and welcoming. Excellent experience all the way around, every time!
January 2025
This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is incredible – the flavors are vibrant and authentic. You can really taste the passion and care that goes into each dish. The service was warm and welcoming, just like the hospitality you'd expect from Punjab. A truly unforgettable dining experience.
