"Great value, very authentic and big portions. Staff were friendly but the toilets could be cleaner, give it a try!"
The service was awesome. The meal was served quickly. The other restaurant goers were also friendly and the atmosphere was genuine and family orientated. After explaining we were vegan we were given different options. We were offered vegan curries.The food was as good as you get in other more upmarket Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants. The roti was fresh and served hot it tasted really fresh. The rice was well cooked and fragrant. The service was quite balanced and the meal reasonably priced. If you are looking for a clean no frills cafe to eat good wholesome Bangladeshi food then Mithai Mahal is perfect for your needs.
Don't let the casual cafe atmosphere fool you - this chef really knows how to cook! The food here is unbelievably good, especially the chicken and lamb samosas with their light pastry and perfectly spiced filling. We've also tried the channa dal, lamb and chicken dishes, and sag aloo, all of which were superb. The slow-cooked lamb is incredibly tender and served in a rich, thick gravy that melts in your mouth thanks to being cooked on the bone. The spices are perfectly balanced and the dishes have a homemade, authentic feel that we absolutely love. We can't wait to try all the specials next time!
Called into Mithai Mahal after a spot of shopping at the Asian supermarket and we weren't disappointed. The choice isn't massive (approx 15 dishes) but all were authentic Asian cuisine which you would probably expect as a guest in someone's home. Each dish was authentic, flavoursome, not swimming in ghee etc. It would be nice if there were a mixed salad poppadoms added to the buffet but regardless we will be back. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful, price was a mere £6.99! I would have given Methai Mehal top marks but some of the table tops needed a wipe! Give it a try
I have only been able to dine in at this restaurant once due to COVID-19 restrictions, but I have ordered takeout from here multiple times. The food is fantastic, with a wide variety of flavors, and the staff is very helpful. The food quality is top-notch, and the portion sizes are generous. I highly recommend this restaurant and I am looking forward to the day when we can dine in again.

Mithai Mahal is an Indian restaurant on Abingdon Road Victoria Road corner, near the University but away from Linthorpe Road's hordes. The layout is simple, no frills. The food is good. The prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly helpful. And you can get take-away. What more could you ask?
Here we have a Indian takeaway that has no idea how to cook a traditional byriani. Do they not know it is cooked with a vegetable sauce, all I got was rice and a very limited portion of chicken. The Pakoras were bland as was the hole meal, my dog even agreed.
This is a nicely hidden little gem, the food is fresh and of a high quality. Everything is seasoned nicely and not too spicy. Don’t let the price or the fact it’s a buffet deceive you, it certainly blows the large chain Indian restaurants in the area away.
The food at this restaurant is fantastic and authentic, the service provided by the friendly staff is top-notch, and the value for money is superb. It's a hidden gem for those who are aware of it. I highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff serving home cooked traditional food. Mango Lassi was really good as was the stuffed paratha. Portions are generous. Definitely recommend if in this part of town.
