" Had high expectations based on reviews but was disappointed. The butter chicken was too sweet and lacked the rich flavor true to its origin. Service was quick but felt a bit pushy. I might try again, but surely will explore other options before coming back to Mahal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mahal last weekend, driven by the rave reviews about their Lahori fish. I wasn't disappointed! The fish was perfectly spiced and crispy. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was quaint, perfect for takeout. I highly recommend trying their biryani as well, which was equally flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Mahal a couple of times and recently noticed a dip in quality. The naan bread was hard, and the curry was excessively oily. Although the staff were friendly, I can't help but feel let down with my last visit. I hope they can restore the food to its former glory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable meal at Mahal! I tried the Lahori fish for the first time, and I was blown away. The crunchy texture paired with the tangy sauce was a match made in heaven. The service was fast, and the staff was friendly. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mahal is a mixed bag. While I have enjoyed their food in the past, my recent visit left me slightly underwhelmed. The tikka masala I ordered was delicious, but it lacked the intense flavor I remembered. Also, I noticed the portions seemed smaller than before. Nevertheless, the staff were friendly and the ambiance, although simple, is cozy. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing meal at Mahal! Ordered several dishes for the whole family, and each was exquisite. The garlic naan was soft and combined beautifully with the lamb curry. The service was swift and friendly, making it a delightful experience. This will be our new family favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my recent visit. The dishes I had were decent but didn’t quite live up to the authenticity I'd hoped for. The presentation was lackluster, and the portions could be better for the price. On the bright side, staff were friendly and the space had a down-to-earth vibe. I'll give it another shot with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
