Curry Mahal Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in San Fulgencio

First time visit here, we don’t live on the urb but had heard good things so ventured out.

Welcome and the ambience in the restaurant was good and we were quickly shown to our table.

We chose a set special off the menu at 38.95. We were surprised this didn’t come with a drink included or any popadoms included, we were asked if we wanted these on sitting down but it wasn’t explained these were extra on top of the menu price.

The starter was poor, 5 prawns and a chicken leg between two of you, the chicken was greasy and tasteless.

The main consisted of chicken tikka masala, and a lamb dish, 4 pieces of lamb which was nice but small portion, and the CTM was very tomato based and 6 pieces of chicken which was dry.

The special rice was nice as was the side dish of cauliflower.

What we did notice though that we didn’t like was other people had their curries served on a hotplate and their nan bread cut into portions, ours was all serviced on the table as it came from the kitchen

We have tried it, overall have given it 3 stars as the staff and ambience was nice but the food a little less than average and for a bill of 44.80 as drinks and popadoms not included in the set menu price we didn’t feel we had good value for money.

Anyway, we have tried it, not the worst but not one we would...

The restaurant looks very lovely, however I ordered a takeaway as I had my dog with me:-) I was SO looking forward to a delicious Indian meal, having not had one for some time. I ordered Onion Bhajees, Chicken Pandang & Rice. Sadly the onion bhajees did not have many spices and also were not crisp, but quite soggy, having been packed in a foil container...maybe better to use a paper bag? The chicken pandang was a total disappointment...very bland with no spicy flavour at all. The chicken tasted as though it was just plain, boiled chicken & the sauce was creamy but with no spices at all. So very disappointing:-( Maybe I changed as the wrong dish...will try something spicier next time and hopefully eat in the restaurant so bhajees won't need to...

As a South African living Spain, curry isn't an unfamiliar dish for us..the exception is Curry Mahal.

If there was a 6th Star option I would have clicked it twice. The amazing flavours, great sides and relaxed atmosphere made an exquisite night out for my wife and I that we will remember for some time to come.

There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is pet friendly outside.

I HIGHLY! Recommend this place and hope you enjoy it as...
