Tandoor Mahal Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in England

I frequented this place many years ago and with being in area thought it would be nostalgic to go back. It was a mistake! Not sure where the 5star ratings come from but our experience was very poor on all counts :- Food was very bland, the experience of eating Indian food is to taste the variety of spices and textures that the menus are written around. Not so with Morpeth’s Tandoori Mahal, mixed kebab starter was very poor very little flavour in all meats and tikka was not existent! Chicken chatt was laced with garam mosalla and very powdery. Mains no different Kashmiri had 3 sultana’s in the tasteless sauce, the banana was the flavour, albeit there was plenty chicken which was a reasonable quality. Chicken tikka and king prawn mosalla again weak flavour but plenty of meat although chicken had very poor tikka marinading. Both mushroom and vegetable pilau rices were disgraceful with very very little mushroom and vegetable in the bland although colourful rice. Nan breads saved the day but the meal was done because of how disappointing it was!!

That said the whole experience was toatally let down by the service and attitude of what must have been the owner / manager / patron who was waiting on. Very ignorant, awful attitude as though he didn’t want us there, followed closely by whom appeared to be second in the line of hierarchy. The only pleasant member of staff appeared to be the waiter and table setter he made the effort to chat and was pleasant.

All in all a very poor experience prime time on a Friday evening, sadly the last time we will visit Morpeths Tandoor Mahal and be treat to very poor food and nothing more than a cash cow for the...

Had not visited the Tandoor Mahal in more than twelve months, but decided to entertain my family there for a special occasion. It was a good decision- staff were attentive without being intrusive, service was good and the food simply excellent. My adult children were more than impressed with the taste and quality and delighted to be offered a complimentary alcoholic drink following after dinner coffee. To round off a convivial evening during which we had sampled various dishes including three sides, plus wine and breads, the final bill was most reasonable, being just over £20 per head. Highly...
