Indian is one of my favorite cuisines. The aromas, flavors, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. I live pretty far south, and our selection of great Indian restaurants aren't as extensive as what's offered downtown. When I heard that Moti Mahal had a location in Midnapore, I made it a mission to try it.
The decor is nice. I like the mood lighting and the place felt like home with the fireplace in the middle. Service was friendly. They always made sure our water glasses were filled, offering drink refills, clearing the table, and also giving recommendations.
Food was disappointing. The portions were extremely small. My Lamb Roganjosh literally had two tiny pieces of lamb in it. The lamb was also quite tough and the sauce was severely lacking of any flavor. It was very lumpy and just not pleasant.
I was very let down. I'll admit that I'm a bit picky when it comes to Indian food. I know what I like and it makes me sad that I didn't enjoy Moti Mahal. It's also not cheap. Our bill came to over $60 and we were still hungry when we left. The hunt for a great Indian restaurant in the deep south continues!
