Honest review: all vegetarian dishes tasted bland, the Malai kofta were hard and the dahi Puri was stale and the veg jalfrezi was watery. The tandoori roti was so thick and and you can tell everything was old or precooked since a while. not the one to complain about everything but everything was actually bad so idk what else to do.
The good is so spicy and delicious and servings are healthy. I had the cauliflower gobi for appetizer and whole eggplant for my entree. Also garlic naan. Everything was delicious. Best Indian food I’ve had in years.
The food was delicious! I ordered the lunch special that gave me Chicken Tikka Masala and Mulligatawny Soup for $14 (with papri and naan for free). The employees were extremely kind, constantly checking on us and asking if we enjoyed the food. They were also friendly and told us about his own daughter haha. The place is beautiful with many paintings of South Asian culture. The bathroom was extremely clean and so was where we were sitting. The aesthetics with the LED lights and plants were beautiful! I had a great time and I’ll definitely come back! :)
Phenomenal lunch deal. All this for ~$13. Everything was great
Amazing food and service. Try the tandoori mixed grill, chili chicken, palak paneer and Rajasthani style chicken curry. An authentic experience with large portions.
Excellent food, nice music and atmosphere, reasonable prices, filling portions. pictured: lamb pasanda, goat curry, onion kulcha, mystery dish
One of the best lamb Rohan Josh I ever had. And I’ve had many.
I got the daal saag here as a healthy option and really liked it. Was spiced for a lot of good flavor, didnt think that the medium heat option was too hot so consider getting it spicy for your own order.Unpretentious and good value on the menu as well. Deserves the high rating.
Excellent food the best toondori chicken yetAnd the rest of our selections were great as well service was great
I have ordered food from this place twice, everything that came was just delicious. They serve some really good vegetarian options. Would definitely consider this place for future food orders.
I have been going to this place for years, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend the Vegetable Samosas, Korma, Saag, and the Mughlai Shrimp Curry. But really it’s all delicious. Oh goodness, the naan too! Also, their lunch and dinner takeout specials are the best in the area. Finally, the owner is so friendly and hospitable. One of my favorite restaurants in New York, and definitely some of the best Indian food you’ll find in the city.
Excellent food and service, we visited 2 times during are trip. Could not find better tasting Indian restaurant around.
Had the Hyderabadi chicken curry and a mango lassi. Both were delicious. Fast and friendly service and great prices!
I have never experienced something so disgusting like I get it’s nyc but come on insects in my food! Never ordering food from here!
Super good stuff! Very friendly staff and good food!
Fabulous food and atmosphere. We come here often to enjoy the chicken korma, tikka or saag. All of the curries are delicious, as is the naan. We also love the music they play.
Everything we ordered was excellent, generous portions, very fairly priced and the service was attentive and gracious. We had the Samosa Chaat and Dahi Batata Poori to start - beautifully prepared and presented, on the spicy side but not overly so. For mains, Paneer Makhni, Shahi Mutter Paneer, Tandoori shrimp and Tandoori mixed grill - although everything was excellent, its worth nothing that the shrimp were cooked perfectly and really were jumbo shrimp rather than smaller ones and that the mixed grill was a very generous amount - could easily have been shared but instead we took the leftovers home. Well definitely be back.
This place is great! Having had some of the same dishes in various places around Delhi, this is easily one of the most authentic Indian restaurants that I’ve tried in the states. The location is convenient and just a few blocks away, in the heart of L.E.S., and takeout is always ready within 15-20 minutes even on a Friday or Saturday night. A+.
Looking to spice up your life? dine at at Mughlai Grill on Clinton Street.Mughlai Grill is a casual Indian restaurant doling out flavorful dishes on the Lower East Side. i get takeout and delivery from Mughlai. however you can dine in at Mughali as well...as it has medium-sized charming dining room perfect for casual relaxed lunches and dinners.recommendations:baghari jhingha--a must if you like spicy shrimp; both the gobhi palak and aloo gobhi are great cauliflower dishes options for vegans + vegetarians; and the chicken tikka is good option for those who want a flavorful dish that is not too spicy.the naan is freshly-made, puffy, crispy bread add-on that is so good.on every takeout and delivery order, Mughali included a complimentary order of papadum. nice touch.as the weather turns cooler, enjoy comfort eats via Mughlais south asian offerings.
The best samosas I’ve ever had. I kid you not.
Amazing service, delicious food, good music, very down to earth and quality at the core.
Best Indian food I ever tried. Ive been coming and ordering food from here since I had it the first time. Owner is very welcoming and friendly. Service is great and prices are fair. Definitely would recommend this place.
Outstanding food and service im coming back for sure the curry goat (spicy) was heavenly and a good heat
Terrible food. Its like it was prepared by someone who has never eaten indian food. The chicken biriyani was horrible. And please dont ever put ice in mango lassi (not like the lassi here would taste any good even without ice, but still).
Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had since backpacking around Indian!!! The only thing I enjoyed more was Kabir (the owner) chatting with me. I wish more places made me feel that welcome.
Rich, spicy, deep red Vindaloo but lacking a complexity of flavors. 3.75-ish for the Vindaloo. Extra points for three, count ‘em 3, IPAs. Good Peshawari naan, uninspired rice. We ordered hot and they delivered a deep sweat for the King.Weird Indian House electro music. Wonderful service and attentive staff. Like General MacArthur, I shall return.
Best and most authentic Indian food weve had in NYC by a long shot. excellent service and atmosphere, a must-try! The owner always takes such good care of us, and takes great pride in the quality and service. We will always come back. xx
We tried 3 dishes - definitely recommend the garlic naan and paneer makhni.The chicken sheesh kabab was very dry.Note - the food was fresh but the wait was pretty long so i think it is a good idea to order in advance for dine-in.
We had an enjoyable time eating here. The staff were very friendly; our food came out at a reasonable time and it was delicious. Would come here again!
This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Food, service, vibes, everything was beyond fantastic. The host really made my party feel at home and was very accommodating to our requests. Definitely will be making this our new spot!!
The food here was amazing and this place is underrated. The servers and owner were incredibly nice and homely. I would reccomend to anyone looking for a nice hole in the wall indian spot
Soo happy to have found this spot. food is just amazing.we kept it vegetarian and got the vegetable tandoor, stuffed baby eggplant, and fried okra. blown away that vegetables can taste that good.the owner and service are wonderful. offered me a glass of effervescent pinot noir while I waited for my takeout order, which I will absolutely be coming back for.
This place is INCREDIBLE. Amazing food, staff, and music! Best Indian cuisine in Lower Manhattan!
Mughail grill is awesome especial if Kamir the owner is there. Food is authentic, fresh, service and hospitality like no other when Kamir is there. I have been going for years . Will be back again soon!
The food here was soo delicious! I think maybe even the best Indian food I’ve had in NYC! Got the chicken samaosas and mango lassi to start. Then the kashmiri chicken korma, chicken tikka and shrimp jalfrezi. Everything was so great! Will return
Incredibly good deal for their lunch special! Two types of curry, dal, rice, naan, papadam, and chutney all for $10 (and free delivery on seamless)! Seems too good to be true.
The food here is amazing! I love the butter chicken and lamb biryani. They really do it right. The dishes never disappoint.
Other than being served by Smithers it was quite tasty 😋 choice for the night.
Incredible service!Honestly some of the best authentic Indian food in NYC I come here multiple times a week
Third three or their dished. The goat curry had a good taste but the goat pieces were not tender. The chicken vindaloo was some sort of weird spice combination. It was most certainly not vindaloo.
Food is great service too affordable and good portions def coming back had tikka masala medium spicy delicious
This place is delicious. Really friendly people working there who went out of their way to make me happy. Big portions and high quality for the reasonable price.
Had dinner here, & it was lovely. The food was delicious, & our waiter was really nice. The ambiance was perfect. Would come back again.
Great authentic Indian! I’ve been to India twice and this place reminds me of the great food I ate there!
Had nice vegetarian options. The staff was great and cheerful. Highly recommend this place as food was really good.
Amazing! This is the go to place for me now!
Awesome food! Friendly service! Keep this place open during the pandemic, local joint. Order directly versus Grubhub so restaurant can make more money😄
Ordered delivery and the food was delicious. Had a bit of a delivery hiccup but the restaurant was very accommodating.
Whether you’re vegetarian or just a fan of Indian or Indo-Chinese food, this place has got an item for you. If you’re unfamiliar, I’d recommend asking the wonderfully friendly staff for a recommendation. Mine? The Manchurian cauliflower 👨🍳 👌👌👌
Delicious food and a very friendly owner. Great spot. 10/10 would recommend
Incredible meal and incredible service!! The food was completely fresh and seasoned to perfection!Delightful waitstaff and atmosphere! Will be returning here!

2022-06-05We were actually walking our way for a different Indian restaurant and suddenly found this on the map which have good reviews so we thought to give a try. We went in and there were very few. We ordered the most routine items but they were very well presented and tasted. The hotel owner was very friendly and polite, he later explained usually the crowd will be less in the afternoons compared to evenings. All and all very good experience on our sudden discovery.

2022-02-22One of the best north Indian food I have had in a while. We started with some bhel puri which was good. Their tandoori chicken is very close to the original Delhi style tandoori chicken. Delicious! For main course, we decided to go with Rogan Josh and bread basket. And we ended the evening with gajjar halwa and ras malai. They were both a bit too sweet and that’s how Indian desserts are supposed to be but I prefer a little less sweet. Portion size was a little small for an Indian place.They also have beer and wine and allow BYOB.The place is fairly easy to get to by subway as well as car. Parking can be a challenge as is the case for any place in the city.Food 5/5Service 5/5Ambiance 4/5Portion size 4/5Value for money 5/5

2022-08-07Got chicken tikka masala takeout from here. It was decent. I got mild and there was absolutely no spice to it whatsoever and it was really tomatoey, like tomato soup. My boyfriend had his spicy and said it was good and flavorful. Healthy portions for a great price.

2022-07-30Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. Stopped by for dinner Friday night around 6PM and it was empty. However by 7, the restaurant was getting packed. Would recommend coming a little earlier to beat the crowd.Started off with the samosa chaat appetizer and it was so good! It was so flavorful and I couldn’t stop grabbing another bite. I saved some to eat with my garlic naan in the end.For entrees, my friends and I did family style and we got the staple chicken tikka masala, palak paneer & the chicken biryani rice, and an order of the garlic naan.The chicken tikka masala consistency was perfect - the chicken wasn’t dry, but I will say I got medium spicy but there was little to no spice. It does taste slightly sweeter than other chicken tikka masala’s I’ve had but it was super delish nonetheless. The palak paneer is chef’s kiss!!! Had to get a veggie dish to balance out all the meat and it was so good too. Would definitely get these two staples over and over again. I kept dipping my naan in both cause I could not get enough of the flavors!! The chicken biryani was just okay - not my favorite considering all the other dishes I had. It was worth trying, but will definitely opt for another entree next time as we already had a bowl of plain basmati rice. The garlic naan, you can’t mess up haha. It was super fluffy. As a garlic lover, I wish there was more garlic loaded on.The staff was so attentive. They kept checking up on our table to see how everything was and if we needed anything else. They continuously filled our water cups without us needing to ask for refills like other places. The staff was super friendly and overall I had such an amazing experience my first time at Mughlai, I will definitely return!

2022-07-10Mughlai Grill is a worth the wait experience. A wonderful menu full of diverse and fusion dishes. The flavor profile of Mughlai dishes can be smoky, savory, subtly sweet, and creamy. The coconut naan is my personal favorite, pairs incredibly well with Kashmiri Chicken Korma. Palak Paneer was deliciously creamy, Chicken tandoori was smoky on the outside and off the bone baby tender juicy on the inside. The chef is clearly trying to make someones day.

2021-09-08Its pretty chill and low-key here with friendly service. But the food didnt impress. The chicken tikka masala and the mango lassi were good, but the achar gosht was overly salty, and the garlic naan was overly buttery without much garlic flavor. I also wished the naan was a bit fluffier; it was flat and too chewy.

2022-08-24So background I grew up in the UK, curry is one of the national dishes. Other than india or bangladesh harder to find a place with more curry restaurants. So I love curry, my favourite cuisine. This is the closest spot to where I live so I WANT it to be good. Over last 5 years I pop in to try it to see if its improved, it hasn’t. The staff are nice, its always quite busy, but the food isn’t that great. I get the Jalfrezi, its always different (which is fine) but today I got it and it was so red and hardly any peppers. Kinda runny. The peppers didnt seem that well cooked either. A lot of chicken but chicken was kinda bland. Asked for medium but just not a lot of flavour. Rice was fine (just pilau) hard to mess up. The garlic naan was dry-ish and just not a ton of flavour. Table next to me ordered something that looked more like a fajita than a curry, not sure if it was some sort of tandori chicken but again the vegetables looked under cooked. Feel like they just rush the process too much in the kitchen.
