Modhu mitha — Restaurant in Mansfield

What can i say. Yesterday i went there with my wife and two close friends. When we got there, we where greeted by the friendliest of waiters we ever saw. At the table, we where presented with a menu filled with goodness. We just couldnt decide what to get! But, I knew what i wanted though, and that was... Vindaloo. But! I wanted the real deal. Whenever i go to a Indian restaurant, i ask for Vindaloo. As spicy as the insides of a vulcano, but still flavoured with the wonderfull tastes of India. Its a test to see if the cook knows what he's doing. So i asked the waiter, for a hot Vindaloo. Not the general weak stuff all the others dared to give me... I wanted, to be tantelised. To be chalanged and to be really pleased, if only just for once in getting what i've bin asking for, for years and years now. And thats to get, a real, mindblowingly hot, flavourfull plate of pure skill, craft and a fiery love for good food by a Cheff who knkws what heat lovers need. The waiter didnt hesitate for a moment and ran to the kitchen. "We've got a massively hot Vindaloo lover, do your thing Cheff!" is what he must have said. When the food arived, i took my first bite....... and i felt my tongue jump for joy!!! My lips started tingeling, my forhead got wet from instant sweating, my eyes turned red and tears started to run down my face and i coukdnt speak for a few moments. Yes... i finally found it. I found a Vindaloo, to die for...!!! So i ate and ate till my tummy got full of burning excitement. But alas... i ate to quick, and so, my stomach clenched up and i was full before i could eat it all. I asked for a doggybag, so i coukd eat the rest at home... for breakfast! The waiter was surpised for this request, but he made sure i could enjoy it the very next day again with even more spice to enjoy it even more and more and more... and so i did. This morning, i opened the bag, and i discovered that the cheff topped the casing up with even more meat to enjoy. My Gods... i think i just died and went to heaven folks. Such good food, such lovely people, such a great Cheff. When we get back here in Mansfield, we know what we want. And thats the best food you can get. So dont think anymore, and get a table here. You will not regret it. 😉...

The food LOOKED excellent , albeit I’ve not seen the kitchen where it’s prepared & cooked.. The toilet & disabled facilities are DISGUSTING..

This evening I took a disabled friend with me to the restaurant for a meal, after having popedom starters & 2 glasses of water, my friend needed the toilet..

When I asked where the disabled toilets are, I was told, we don’t have any, but my friend could use the staff toilets on the ground floor, as the public toilets were up a steep flight of stairs on the first floor..

My friend waited next to the owner near their toilets for 10 minutes for his staff to clean the toilets before allowing him entry.. After waiting so long I complained & was told their toilets are still not ready yet as they need further cleaning..

After 20 minutes my friend embarrassingly wet himself in the restaurant, because they have NO DISABLED FACILITIES. This ruined our evening..

Under DDA 1993 & subsequent editions, they should have disabled toilet facilities.. The restaurant has had numerous refits since the 1993 introduction of DDA.

The restaurant owner informed me that MDC Mansfield District Council have agreed that they DO NOT HAVE TO CATER FOR THE DISABLED & his offer to use the STAFF ONLY toilets on the ground floor, was a gesture of good will..

I raised my concerns to the owner who got very aggressive & threatening, i was told leave otherwise I would be attacked..

I will be raising this with MDC Chief Executive during the coming week..

I’ve added a few photos, of the disgusting, stinking & unhygienic state of the customer toilets on the first floor… unfortunately I wasn’t allowed in the kitchens to see how the food was prepped & cooked….

Make your own mind up what the kitchens & prep area are like…

Will I go back.. NOT A CHANCE..

This restaurant should have its Hygiene certification removed with immediate effect.

This restaurant should also be closed with immediate effect & not allowed to reopen until the relevant hygiene & DDA rectification works are carried out in line with current...

After ordering the food we were told it would 40 minutes (which wasn't a problem as we took it as a sign the place is popular) I return after 40 minutes, only to wait another 20 minutes, which was frustrating, but not the end of the world. After driving home I find they've totally missed off the naans. I drive all the way back again and ask where they are. The lady at the front took my order, never apologised and 10 minutes later I had to grab another worker and ask where things were. Again, he disappeared, with no commentary and came back with my order. He checked everything was there and that was that. No sorry your order will be warm now, sorry we didn't put your naans in, sorry you had to drive home and back three times, nothing. The icing on the cake was when I got home, the meal I asked to be phall heat, was mild and not spicy at all.

The food tastes lovely,I have total faith they did a good job cooking. It just feels they are too popular to give a toss about manners. When your well known around Mansfield for good food, you don't need to listen to orders or apologise

Awesome food.

Apathetic, uncommunicative, unapologetic staff. If they don't mess up your order, you'll have a superb meal, if they get it wrong,...
