Mohali by Chef Mandeep — Restaurant in Dudley

My first time visit here, I am not sure why it took so long. A typical 6.30pm booking on a Friday night but unfortunately it was very quiet. I say quiet in respect of there being only two other tables occupied however they were loud and I like to talk to the wife without raising my voice. The service was functional, not overly friendly and his knowledge of the menu wasn't great. The wife remarked that the poppadoms were very crispy, the chutney tray was pleasant but an additional hot option would have been nice. The sheekh kebabs were OK but still pink on the inside, some may not mind this but I prefer my meat warmed through, and the wife decided to pass. There was also a bit of a melted cheese on top which was a surprise, I'm not sure if this was a good idea. There was a long wait until the mains arrived. They and the sides were piping hot. I tried a clay pot on the waiter's suggestion. It was fine but I wouldn't have it again as I prefer a more fuller flavoured curry. The wife had a balti which was on the hot side for her and slightly watery although it still had a more flavoursome taste than mine. The sides were very good but the nan bread was possibly the smallest I've had. Not a great drinks choice, and the wife's prosecco was off and it was courteously replaced. I though the bill was very good for...

Absolutely amazing food and service impeccable. They have a huge amount of vegetarian dishes and Chef Mohali is happy to make anything for you even if it not on the menu.

I used to be a regular when this restaurant was The Flute, and I loved it then- however, I have to say that I prefer the food now. I cannot believe that three people have left one star reviews. Am I suggesting that they are simply trying to discredit a competitor?! It's up to you to sample Mohali's wondetful food and make your own mind up- and then I suspect that you, like me, will give...

Via Deliveroo I ordered a butter chicken, peshawari naan and poppadoms. The butter chicken was spicy, and not creamy. The naan was dry, just drizzled in oil. One of three poppadoms tasted of oil and was coloured like it. I rang the restaurant and they said I ordered a “murgh makhani” which is a “similar dish”. So either it’s different to a butter chicken and they’re advertising the wrong dish on Deliveroo, or it’s the same and the dish was terrible & not how you make a butter chicken.

Stay away,...
