Ordered food from here for the first time to collect on a Sunday evening direct from their website (do this as it's cheaper). Ordered vegetarian (chana paneer, sag paneer, daal) and was really good. Ingredients were fresh with distinct flavour differences between the dishes. You can make some side dishes into mains, so check the sides first. Rice was really nicely cooked and fragrant and sides of naan and poppadoms were great.

I recently ordered a takeaway from Ali Mahal Restaurant, and I am thoroughly impressed. The prices were exceptionally good, offering great value for money. My food was delivered ij good time (i ordered online), which was much appreciated. The Daal was lovely, with just the right amount of spice—not too hot, but full of flavour. The Jalfrezi was wonderful as well, rich and delicious. Both dishes were clearly made with care and quality ingredients. I will definitely be ordering from Ali Mahal again. Highly recommended!

Ordered for delivery and really impressed. Mixed grill actually had a decent level of spice and naan was perfect. Missus pleased with her veggie options and even chicken & chips for the kid (with chips better than most places where it's a staple)

Just ordered a meal from Ali’s used to eat here a lot a few years ago but the restaurant had shut and re opened due to a family situation, I decided to try again once it had opened, and I wasn’t disappointed. Fantastic food and fantastic service. I won’t hesitate to order from here again. Top drawer!!!!!

The quality of the food served here is always "top drawer". I've just polished off a chicken tikka biriani, and you can't get this, this good anywhere else.Thank you Sophia, chef, staff, and the Ali Mahal.
