Mrs A's Kitchen — Restaurant in Salford

AVOID!!!

Honestly hands down the worse curry I have ever ordered, between me and my girl friend we got a Thali with rice, chicken and spinach pakora, beef rezala and lamb chops du feeyaz, and then a chicken makhani, snack box with 3 other small starters, chicken seekh kebab and a mint dip

So where do I start, I have had makhani from so many places over the years and its always been the same, nice sweet buttery flavour, and they even describe it this way on the website, it was so bland and watery and oily at the same time, the grey chicken was dry and tasteless like it had been dropped in at the end, honestly shocking, then moving on to the starters, between the four starters they all taste the same, of a dry tasteless nothing, the chick seekh kebab on their pictures shows it with a bread and salad, in reality it comes as two dry rolls of chicken with no salad and bread and again so dry it is uneatable, then finally the thali, again starters taste of dry nothingness, and the two curries looked and taste exactly the same, one should of had a 4 chilli rating and the other a 3, they had no spice, no seasoning, no flavour at all, and then the rice was littered with cardamon pods which was awful and then finally the naan bread was thick and very very dry and just crumbled

I am gutted that I have just spent near £40 and basically thrown 90% of the food away and am still hungry, I you look at the reviews online I am beyond shocked that this is 4.5 and 4.7 out of 5 across the board, these honestly have to be fake reviews

Again, please read this and avoid this place, absolute waste of time and money, the only positive was the branded bag it come in, if I could eat that I would as it looks more attractive than the abysmal hard to call...

I only marked the atmosphere down as we were, (at least initially), the only people in! 😆 But the decor is really fun... Anyway, we're visiting family for Christmas and New Year and only hear good things about The Northern and Mrs A's. The Northern was closed, 😟 Mrs A's did not disappoint! 😋 (really weird to walk down Church St for the first time in thirty years 😯) I ordered a Thali, consisting of Chicken Makhan and Beef Assarr, rice with Chicken and Spinach Pakora. I also ordered a Puri, (I've never had one before!), and a "snack box" consisting of Chicken Samosa, Keema Fritter and a Chicken Shami Kebab, (again these last two are new one to me). Wow, delish! The beef was so tender, the chicken moist and juicy, the Makhan sauce delightfully sweet, cool and mild, the Assarr spicy and aromatic with a gentle heat that just kept on building 🤤 The Pakora, a generous chunk of chicken in a beautifully spiced spinach and onion Bhaji mix. The Samosa, light and crumbly with a delightful spiced chicken filling. The Puri again was so light and crisp almost more like a fried pastry than a bread, (think croissant), and I watched it being freshly made. The Fritter and the Shami Kebab each a slice ground meat patty, with the Fritter battered...

All in all a real treat, and at Twenty pound including two milkshakes not that expensive either!

(sadly, I didn't take any pictures as I was too keen...

Great food let down by poor service and rude staff. We tried Mrs A's for the first time on Tuesday this week and loved it, so decided to go back on Friday. We ate in both times, but last night the service was terrible... and they weren't even busy! Having ordered our food, we were told to sit down and they'd bring it over. Having seen other people walk in and get their food before us, I approached the counter to ask where our starters were. I pointed out that we'd been waiting over 20 mins for a samosa and chicken kebab, but instead of receiving an apology, I was told they were busy and to sit back down. The starter was duly brought over about 2 mins later, and the food was great. However, about 1 minute after that, the main was brought over as well. I told the waitress I was unimpressed as we'd waited a long time for our starters, and now our mains were going to get cold whilst we ate our starters. All I received was attitude from her about being busy. No apology, just attitude. Well as lovely as the food is, I dont need your attitude, so wont ever be eating there again. Learn some manners! You were in the...
