I've always heard great things about Mughli Charcoat Pit. The food did not disappoint but the speed of service was very slow. The issue with the service seemed to be less about the the waiting staff but more about the kitchen. Our booking was at 7pm. Our food order was taken at 7.30pm. The food arrived at 8.45pm. There was no apology for the delay. A shame because the food was great but because of the poor speed of service we wouldn't be rushing back.

What a find!

We saw this restaurant pop up on an instagram page and just thought we’d go on a whim the same day. Wow!! The lamb was insane, never tried scorpion prawns before but they were like lobster! Butter chicken with the cheesy/chilli naan was a great pairing, everything was just absolutely delicious. (I would note for parents- the chicken bites on the children’s menu are like full pieces of chicken thigh and slightly spicy, our daughter ate it but the table next to us had this issue 🙈) The staff were all so friendly too, what a lovely place

Fantastic

Didnt disappoint, we travelled 6hrs from Scotland to try. Service was quick, friendly and nothing was a problem. Food was outstanding especially the butter sauce, we had mixed grill, what a feed. Scorpion prawns were so flavourful and the leopard roll was out of this world the meat was so juicy.

Travelled for an hour after watching 'eatingwithtod''s ista review

We see 'eatingwithtod''s review on insta and made the trip over. Wow, it definitely lived up to the hype. Those scorpion prawns were fab, the leopard rolls were wonderful but that butter chicken, YES! We'd go back just for that, it was that good! There are a few things I'd like to try on our next visit, which will be soon! Even the chutneys were delicious, particularly the mint one!

Amazing food

Just like to say how impressed my wife and I were with the food at Mughli. Such fantastic tasty dishes. We will be returning soon. Staff were very attentive and looked after us throughout our visit.
