Mamas Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

Now, im not one for leaving reviews on google, infact this is my first one but after tonights meal i felt compelled to do so as curry is my favorite meal. I could eat it every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner! After reading the reviews on here we decided to give Mamas a go as it was my sons 18th and we, as a family of 5 love curry and very often go out for dinner or grab a take out from a variety of curry houses around the local areas. We opted for the the all you can eat for £25 a head and the starters were great but the mains were frankly extremely disappointing. My wifes "go to" curry, a chicken Tikka masala was like chicken in tomato soup with more spice (heat) than it should have had. Bright orange with no hint of almond or coconut on the back of the pallet just tomato. I opted for a chicken pathia which is a yellowish onion based dish but was packed with tomato in the sauce and that was more than evident in the dark orange colour and taste which was super sweet and overpowered by tomato. Where was the onion?? Not a single one in the dish. I couldnt even eat it! The Dhansak which my daughter had, and also happens to be my favorite curry was a nice thick consistency with a good build of heat to it but once again the tomato base sauce just came through too strong and if it was for me, i couldnt have eaten it. Would have been a 1 star but my son liked his chicken bhuna, the starters were nice and the 4 garlic naans were cooked beutiful. Fluffy and moist with a nice crispy base. Extremely disappointed with the mains tonight. Maybe it was an off night as everyone else seems to rave about it but unfortunately we wont be eating at Mamas again....

A few friends and I came here and thought it was a decent place. They did some things really well and some things not so well (hence their 3 star score). As for the appetizers, the good was the onion bhai and chicken tikka pieces. The okay was seekh kebabs which could have used some more flavoring. The bad was the lamb samosa. Literally had NO flavor to it.

The main course consisted of chicken vindaloo, chicken jalfrezi, lamb korma and chicken tikka masala. I thought the chicken jalfrezi was amazing. We liked it so much we ordered it twice. The korma and the chicken tikka masala was too sweet and not edible. We ended up eating the meat from their but the sauce was not good. The chicken vindaloo was okay, flavorful but nothing special. The best part of all the food was the naan. It was definitely one of the best naans I've ever had.

If we are in the area, it's one of those places I'll come back to, to eat the few...

I've tried every Indian in Huntingdon now, and this is by far the best one.

My wife and I tried some usual curries (chick. Tikka. Massala and chicken korma) just to give this new place a go. They weren't the standard same tasting bland curries I've had from most places around Huntingdon, they were freshly made and the chicken was delicious. It was nice to see chicken thigh used for the tikka. Nice freshly made chutneys, some I've never tried before, such as the mango and coriander, which was a nice change. The garlic naan was delicious and better than the usual standard too. My only criticism is the onion bajiis could've been a bit bigger. They were flavourful though and had a nice crisp to them, so i wasnt too bothered in the end. It's good to have a decent curry house in Huntingdon and I can't wait to try more...
