Le Mahal — Restaurant in Gex

I chose this resturant because of its good reviews.. later after lunch I was really disappointed and regreted that I followed the reviews!

I made reservation online at 13:30, and arrived just on time. The gentleman at the reception told me with angry tone that I should hurry up as the kitchen closed at 14;00!! Why then you confirmed the reservation at this hour!! We were two and were really hungry and looking forward for a good meal, the resturant was empty except of one table with other clients. The waiter guided us to a tiny table of two, and I asked to have a bigger table but they refused!! Evantually we ended up ordering only the main course because of the tight table.

Food below average..

It was certainly my first and last time there. Hospitality is really below zero and the reception staff or waiter looked angry all the time! If 13:30 is late for the cook, then do not confirm reservation at this hour and then treat clients like this because they showed up...

Chat GPT version: I had a disappointing experience at Le Mahal restaurant. While the ambience was pleasant, the service left much to be desired. There were only two staff members on the floor: one refused to engage with us because we didn’t speak French, and the other was dismissive and unhelpful. After a long wait, he finally approached our table but seemed rushed, walked away without answering all our questions, and was visibly annoyed when we tried to get his attention again.

The food was equally underwhelming. The Mixed Grill, particularly the Poulet Tikka, did not taste fresh. It was tough, reheated, and far from what we expected. Portion sizes were also quite small considering the prices. The only positives were the mango lassi and the eggplant pakoras, which we enjoyed.

Overall, the poor service and disappointing food outweighed the nice atmosphere. We will not be returning and cannot recommend...

I've lived in this region for nearly two years and I'm SO disappointed I only discovered this place NOW. I would eat this every single day, that's how delicious it was. Service was attentive and fast, prices were worth every penny because - oh my God - it was beyond fantastic. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten in my life and I come from Canada, where our Indian food restaurants are top tier. I want to go back already. I'm already drooling just thinking about it. Veggie samosas were the best I've ever had. Beware: Aloo Ghobi is REALLY spicy (but incredible so despite the pain, you won't be able to stop eating it). As a vegetarian, the selection was incredible (thank you!). Everyone needs to try this place at least once - and you'll want to have it again and again. Very clean place and the traditional music...
