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

Great food, ambiance everything...too quiet ahould have been busier maybe its that people go out less in this economy but this is a hidden gem. Go go go. We will go back and share our experience with friends

Best Indian food in the area; service can be a little slow/awkward during busy times. Our cocktails came after our appetizers, which is never really a good thing, but ultimately everything tasted great, which is what is most important.

Mahal does not serve Indian ‘food'; they serve Indian CUISINE! This was a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is beautifully done and the staff is friendly and well-trained. The menu is extensive and there is always someone who is most happy to offer explanations or suggestions. But oh the food...I have never been to India but I imagine this is what dining in a five star restaurant in India must be like. In a word: SUPERB! The chef is truly accomplished and I plan on being back many times in the future. I found the dishes to have just the right amount of spice;but if there is someone in your party who would like it less so just ask. The cucumber raita will also cool the palate. Aside from being a beautiful gem of a restaurant with delicious dishes and a lovely staff they are very accommodating.

Wonderful food ! My personal favorite was the dahi aloo puri for apps and the lobster masala !
Claire
Not your typical indian restaurant, a step above the rest. Decor is pleasant, food it great. I went with my friend who does not like "hot" spicy food and they were able to cater to her needs. The duck roll appetizer and lamb shank dishes had wonderful flavor. Highly recommended.
Connie
An outstanding dining experience in Indian cuisine. The food, service, drinks, and ambiance were stellar!!!
Without a doubt, the finest Indian restaurant on Long Island. The food is extraordinary- try the duck "egg rolls" appetizer and the lamb and vindaloo was superb! The sisters are awesome waitresses, so kind and friendly!
Rita
Great food and service, very reasonable prices. Ambience was great. Will definitely go back!

We love Mahal! The food is delicious, and the service is always attentive. The staff knows the food, can explain the menu, and answer any questions. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is a special place and a restaurant that we always look forward to going to.

We wanted to try a new Restaurant for Valentine Day so we choose Mahal. When we arrive the main restaurant was full and we were seated in the Banquet Hall upstairs. There was about 5 sets of family and couple seated as well. The service was very slow. Took very long for everyone to get their dinner. Our food was cold when arrived. I order additional naan and it never came, when I ask the server said she sent it back. I had much better food at other restaurant(Akbar in Garden City) is a great example. I would not go back , not only because of the service, the food was not great either. However the drinks were delicious.
