Mughal Balti House — Restaurant in Trafford

Always a pleasure to dine here, this was a Sunday and not very busy but probably due to the fact that it has been a very hot day with a lovely evening and most people were probably still outdoors. I had the King prawn Shashlik which as ever was cooked to perfection, my wife had Tandoori chicken which was moist, juicy and full of flavour, there were a few of us and we all enjoyed our meals immensely. Ate here again and had the Shashlik again no complaints. Went again tonight, there has been a noticeable drop in standards lately, mostly when the boss isn't there. The waiter was loud and a bit rude tonight accusing us of not knowing what we had ordered. Also the food was noticeably of a lower standard to normal. The mild curry sauce that accompanied my non sizzling Tandoori prawn "sizzler" just had cabbage stem in it. The onions weren't cooked and there were two measly looking bits of pepper. Last time we were told that the Tandoori chicken had traces of nuts in so our elder member of our party didn't have it due to his nut allergy but this time we were told by the waiter there were no traces of nuts. He didn't risk it as he lives near Macclesfield and may have keeled over at the wheel on his way home due to an ill informed waiter. We will not be rushing back unless we can be assured the standards have improved. This review was updated and downgraded on 18.04.2023. Just one more point..there was just us 6 and one party of 2 between 7.00...

Food is okay to good. The service is really bad though, rude even, and more hostile over the years. I've been going here for 25 years and my last visit was my last visit. Really disappointed.

Sunday special, 5 course meal for £15 or £12 for kids. Asked what the other courses were as only saw poppadoms, starter and main.

Course 1 chutneys Course 2 poppadom (singular) Course 3 started Course 4 rice Course 5 curry.

Asked if my 14 year old is classed as a child or adult with the deal. Was told if we're going to claim hes a child he can have a kids menu.

Genuinely hostile service.

Do yourself a favour and go to another curry place in Sale. Massala lounge, madras spice, ouvra (off the top of my head) all close by with decent food and pleasant atmospheres. The food in these places is as good as, if not better than the mughal and you wont be treated poorly.

I've sat on this opinion for a couple of months debating whether to say anything. After great experiences at the other places mentioned since my last visit, I think its a fair review. From how empty the mughal has been over the last few years, I'm guessing its not just me who...

I recently visited Mughal Balti House, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The food was disappointing—lacking flavor, with excessively small portions, and every dish seemed overloaded with vegetables rather than a balanced mix of ingredients. It felt like they were cutting corners at every step.

The customer service was non-existent. The staff, especially one particularly rude individual, had absolutely no knowledge of how to handle customers. Their attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and made the entire experience frustrating. It’s clear that a change in staff, or at least proper training, is desperately needed to bring any semblance of hospitality to this establishment.

I would not recommend Mughal Balti House to anyone looking for quality food or even basic courtesy. A disappointing visit, and I will not...
