Mithai Mahal - Middlesbrough

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
