Mughli - Manchester

TL;DR Great food and great atmosphere. After many years in Manchester we finally followed everyone's recommendations and came here and are glad we did. We debated booking a table but the website seemed to discourage it for small groups, promising that they keep half their tables for walk ins. We came early on a Saturday evening and despite it being busy we were seated quickly. Our food choices were pretty unoriginal poppadoms and chutneys to start which were very nice. The mint yoghurt was much thicker than we've had elsewhere and better for it. For our mains I had a jalfrezi which was delicious and had lots of big pieces of chicken in. Sparky went for a lamb dish which he said melted in the mouth. We both had rice and naan alongside and the naans were delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices were reasonable all in all, a great spot and one we'd happily come back to again and again.

Fantastic! Worth the drive from City Center! The small plates were the best way to try a bunch of yummyiness! We got there kind of late in the evening but the food was still prepared fresh and the service was great!

Came to Mughli for a work dinner and the service was fantastic especially considering we had a 10 person group. The atmosphere was cosy and I was served one of the best butter chickens I've had. Would definitely recommend for a dinner on the curry mile.

I strongly advise against dining at this restaurant and suggest trying any other place instead. The way they conduct business appears to be highly unethical, with a complete disregard for good customer service. My negative experience had nothing to do with the £25 deposit they required, but rather with the disrespectful treatment we received. I traveled from the USA to watch a football match and decided to eat at Mughli afterwards, making a reservation in advance. However, when I realized I had booked for the wrong day, I called to ask for a change. Despite the fact that we had a party of five and would have spent a significant amount on our meal, the manager (named Yaasir, I believe) refused to refund the £25 deposit if we dined at the restaurant. He was rude and displayed a complete lack of customer service skills. It was clear that our long journey did not matter to him. In the end, they kept my deposit without providing any service in return. In my opinion, this establishment is running a scam and should be avoided. Their arrogance towards providing decent customer service is unacceptable. I will not be fooled by them again.

I ordered the hakka chili paneer for takeout and was disappointed with both the taste and portion size of the dish. The serving was small, consisting of only 2-3 pieces of paneer, capsicum, and onions in a plastic container. The dish was also lacking in flavor. Additionally, the atmosphere in the restaurant was tense, with staff members being reprimanded and delivery riders being yelled at. However, there was a young staff member who was very friendly and helpful in assisting with orders.
