We have ordered take-out from Mahal multiple times, but finally went to the restaurant for dinner. Love the decor and the staff are so friendly. The food was fabulous. We asked for the spice level to be medium, and next time we will get it a little spicier, but it was delicious. Everything was perfect from the drinks, appetizers, soups, entrees and dessert. I look forward to going there again.

TRASH SERVICE. TRASH FOOD.
We came here and it took forever just to get seated, and even longer to receive menus. Nobody checked on us, nobody cared, and the service was completely disorganized from the start.
When we finally got our food, we hoped it would redeem the experience — it didn’t. The food was absolute garbage. The way they serve you here is unbelievable. I’ve had 100x better service and food at tiny hole-in-the-wall spots in Queens.
I honestly cannot believe people pay these kinds of prices for such terrible service and mediocre food. Absolutely absurd.

THE FOOD WAS REALLY BLAND, the price was high compared to the quality and quantity of the food. The service was okay, the naan was burned, the tandoori chicken was bad. The tikki masala tastes worst. This places food tastes like how food tastes like when one is sick. Never again will I come back.

The food here is truly the best in New York. The chef, who previously worked at another well-known restaurant, opened this place on his own—and brought all of his incredible talent with him. This is, without a doubt, the most consistent and flavorful Indian food I’ve ever had. I’ve tried searching for anything comparable and nothing comes close. The atmosphere is stunning and the service is top tier.
I’ve tasted almost everything on the menu, and it’s all exceptional—you really can’t go wrong with any dish. The chef, Mr. Mishood, is an absolute genius in the kitchen!

My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary. The food and service at Mahal was impeccable!! The samosas we had as appetizers were some of the best we'd ever had. For Entrees, my husband has the lamb vindaloo, I had the chicken Korma and we shared a palak paneer. We had the rosemary naan and rice as sides. The food portions were generous, we were full when we finished and still have some to take home for lunch the next day. We will definitely come back again! Sorry that my photos are taken mid-meal!!

We were looking to try a new Indian restaurant and Mahal exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent. Very attentive without being intrusive. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and our server's feedback and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious with appropriately sized portions, and the atmosphere felt upscale, yet casual. Will definitely be dining here again.

Unfortunately the menu changed after many years. In addition the food was not up to what we had come to expect at Mahal. At the end of the meal the waiter admitted to us that the chef had left and there was a new chef. What had been our go to for superior Indian cuisine now is just as ordinary as else where. Too Bad

This place has really transformed under the new management! Highly recommend - service was excellent and servers were friendly. The ambiance is perfect - we went with a bunch of girls and it was the perfect setting for an evening girls night - highly recommend. Food is also flavorful and not so greasy.
This is the first Indian Restaurant we’re happy with since we moved on LI. We’ve been in search for good Indian food for 3 years. Mahals food is full of flavor, the staff is friendly and attentive and the ambiance is inviting. Veg Samosa was good. Tandoori Chicken was one of my favorites. Tender, juicy and flavorful. Chicken tikka masala and chili garlic naan also amazing and flavorful. The goat biryani was ok, it had a sweet taste instead of savory but the goat was tender. For dessert the Kulfi and Gajahara (if I’m spelling it correctly) were also very good. Gajahara is very sweet so beware. It’s the orange desert in the pics. Even my lemonade was tasty. I will def be going back.

So glad we went and tried the place after the new ownership. I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews. However I guess the resturant business is not an easy one to run and people are really hard to please. I sell on Walmart.com and people expect Channel for a $4 top. Having said that, the food was fantastic, the service out of this world and the atmosphere great. Whoever took this over - good job guys. I attended an event upstairs as well and that was a hit with the food and I learnt not to blame the resturant for not so top shelf drinks when the hosts pays for a basic drinks menu. I guess it is difficult when a resturant tries to please hosts with a lower price but then guests expect top shelf liquor and dishes at those prices. The resturant cannot tell the guests this is what your host paid for. All in all, great place, I will keep coming back.
