Visited recently for the first time in years. The service was excellent as usual, but the food is unfortunately not what it used to be. Poppadoms didnt seem fresh, curry was nice but not amazing, rice portions definitely a lot smaller now too. It used to be one of the best in town for a curry, but unless I just went on an off night Id say its pretty average these days.

Absolutely truly amazing food.. If I could give more stars it would be unlimited. And the staff.. Wow great. Thanks for everything.. Xxxxx

The food was superb but the service .....was even better!!!Came here 30 years ago when I was a student at university...still the same taste and this time round.. It truly felt more like a homecoming!! Very pleasant surprise!! Such nice people! Will be back... especially since my son is attending the same University.Highly recommend!!

Such a great place to dine out. The food was just brilliant, makes me want to move back to the Midlands, the home of great curry.Oh and the wall of celebrity photos is a hoot.

Was very disappointed with this place. Was very eager for a nice meal here BUT after asking all staff to take our food order - no one will take it 🤔 finally left, leaving our drinks ( did pay for them ) Restaurant was not busy.Will never return here 😞

Great restaurant, staff fabulous. The best Indian food weve ever had. Highly recommend

This is my favourite Indian restaurant. The staff are all so so lovely + attentive - their service has been outstanding on every visit. They happily alter the dishes according to how you’d like them + are super helpful with any queries, when ordering. The food is INCREDIBLE. The best Indian food I’ve had by far. It really is a whole experience. Highly recommend!!

Excellent food and service. We went for a pre show curry, and food was super fresh and tasted great, and service was so attentive too. Would highly recommend. The last time I visited was for my 21st (20 years ago), still the same owner and still the same amazing food!! Will definitely be back, before the next 20 years is up!!!

This place is a real gem. Light and airy inside with a different style to most Indian restaurants. The service was absolutely first rate, speedy and attentive at all times. The food was freshly cooked, hot and tasty. Lovely kebabs and bhajis for started and lamb jalfrezi for main. The lamb was tender and flavours just perfect. Chatted to one of the owners and you could really see the pride taken in the restaurant. Highly recommended.

Last night I had a takeaway Set Meal for 1 from the Mogal. OMG, this must be the best value deal in Nottingham right now. Fifteen quid for 3 poppadoms, pickle selection, two onion bhajis, chicken rogan, saag aloo, rice and naan. And the quality is excellent - the chicken rogan in particular was bursting with flavour. Im having the naan and saag aloo for lunch today. At that price and quality just do it!!

Loved this place. Foods really good. Prices are affordable. Staff can learn to be a bit friendly. Definitely going to visit again. Quantities are good as well.

Proper hidden gem. Food is excellent but the service is the real asset of this business. The waiters are absolutely fantastic - very friendly, attentive and make you feel welcome. Ive had two wonderful experiences here with my girlfriend and we are always impressed and eager to return again.

Absolutely horrendous service I rang asking for a delivery they man was snappy taking my order. I waited 1:20 mins then called to see where my food was. He was rude said he drove around couldn’t find my address? I asked why he didn’t call me if that was the case and he hung up on me. Terrible. Rude.avoid

Superb food.. Great ambience.. warm welcoming.. Great staff.. especially the owners wife.. Will visit again.. xx

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely be visiting again next time were in Nottingham.

I had my 1st Mogal experience last week and have to say it was the best Indian I have ever had... the staff were fantastic, happy, and made us feel really welcome and greatful for our custom. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you.

Delicious Indian food. Busy on a test match night but the food came quickly and was plenty. Highly recommended

Fabulous tasty food!!!! Second time we have been here when visiting Nottingham to see our son who is at Uni. Will definitely be back again. Lovely place, fabulous food and very friendly staff.

(I never normally review but just had too!!)I took my partner here tonight and from the second we walked in the waiter made us feel welcome. Our food was absolutely amazing and the restaurant was so authentic and beautiful.Me and the waitress joked about my partner paying the bill and I told them it was actually his birthday.. they ended up bringing a cake out with a candle.. it was so sweet.When the bill came it felt like a steal! Then they ended up giving us an extra 10% nhs discount and thanked me for my service in the NHS.Thankyou so much. You topped off our day x

First time Ive ever been here. Food was so good. Staff didnt mind telling you what everything was, especially if you want to try something different.Drinks were really expensive and we only had coke, that was the only thing that spoilt it, I wouldnt bother next time but I would love to go again for the food and service.

We (17 fellas) ate there last night, the owner made us a banquet as there was so many of us, food was freshly cooked and superb, the staff are attentive and friendly, this is the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat in. Would recommend you try.

Beautiful food as per normal,lovely staff n location.best indian in the city by far...

Excellent family run business, basically part of the furniture in Nottingham. The must goto indian in Nottingham.

Lovely meal value for money. Friendly staff Highly recommended.

Second time we have visited here,really good food, very clean, great service.

Absolutely Amazing Food From a Very Friendlyand Compassionate People Who work there....They made Me And My Daughter feel very welcome .👍👍👍👍

Been going with friends since 90s managers are always very friendly and welcoming. Always prepare food how .mild or spicy according to each person taste.ennoyed it so much. Waiting to reopen again. 👍😃

Always visit this place when in Nottingham... Highly recommended..

Exquisite chilli n garlic chicken 👌

Nice food, though not cheap but place very neat and clean wash room. Smells nice too and good lighting...

Food was excellent, staff were very polite

Had a take away last night,was very nice and liked the location and the hall of fame...(Hoff) and the host was very friendly,but if anything,always put a popadom in..looks better,would go back and recommend by me ...and millions of other its seems

Friendly staff and great food .

Excellent & authentic Indian restaurant. Welcoming, friendly & attentive staff. Perhaps most importantly, Beautiful food! I’m only in Nottingham for the evening with work, but would be a regular here if I lived locally! Great experience - thanks again!

The food here is brilliant. The food just melts in your mouth. Such nice seasoning and the meat is so succulent. It just is a really nice place for an Indian sit down meal. Very popular it is also with folk

Excellent service and excellent quality food

Not been for over 10years the quality is much better highly recommend going back soon

Speedy and Quality service, not a budget curry house but worth every single penny. Fantastic food to be honest I think its the best Indian food Ive tried in a long time.

Best Indian meal Ive had in a long time absolutely delicious, excellent menu and fantastic customer service in these hard times.

Went with friends. Never been before but would deffo return. Highly recommended by the doorman at a nearby pub. We werent disappointed. Food excellent, staff super friendly and the bill reasonable. £100 for four including plenty of drinks. Would highly recommend. Thank you Mogal E Azam for an excellent night. Nice touch with the long stem Carnations too

Worst experience with the crazy almost bald guy. Very disrespectful behaviour. He will question you on everything you will order and will give weird looks if you will order only one starter or say the curry as side and will literally say he is very surprised that you order a little. It’s my choice what I want to eat dude who are you to judge me! Same goes for food, if you looking for real Indian food go to Memsaab or Calcutta Club, this is not the place for good food.

Food and service fine - zero attention to covid regulations it seems - no track and trace or any other measures - this needs to change

Simply brilliant food, quality staff who cant do enough for you. Highly recommended

Indian Cuisine themed Restaurant. The food is amazing there. A blessing for the Asian guys in Nottingham. Will go there once again soon!

My favourite Indian restaurant. Food is exceptional. Service is always friendly. Prices very reasonable. My only fault would be dirty dishwater cocktail which cost £5.95. Stick to drinks that you know. Like I said before my favourite restaurant!! Been going hear for over 20yrs

Mogal E Azam used to be a great Indian restaurant, the delicious starters used to be served sizzling in hot plate, the mains were sensational and.....Unfortunately these are the things of the past. After the recent visit I noticed everything had become so average and next mornings diarrhea and stomach pain reminded me again of the fallen Great Mogal!

Very nice food. Good menu. Service was great, too. One star dropped because there wasnt enough pickle tray to match the number of papadums!

This is always our go-to place after attending gig at Rock City. They were a bit busy this time, but the food was great as usual.Went again on 1 March, and just to set the record straight from another review: 1) The staff cant choose the atmosphere - if no one is in, it WILL be quiet; 2) The staff are very friendly; 3) The quality of the food is excellent, and it is NOT overpriced - it is City Centre prices in a quality restaurant.

Without a doubt, the best curry in Nottingham. Absolutely superb restaurant, with great attentive staff (but not over-attentive, they dont bother you whilst you eat).The curries we had were fantastic, great flavours. Nice atmosphere inside too, and convenient to get to as its right by the Royal Centre tram stop.Highly recommended, this place has been around 40 years for a reason!

Love everything about this place. Food is amazing and affordable,comfortable and the warmest welcome you could wish for.....

Brilliant food, very helpful and patient staff. Service is excellent, the decor is great and functional but beyond everything else the stand out thing here is the food. One of the best Indians Ive had. And Ive had a few. Bit pricey but worth it.

Very tasty food, friendly staff and nice setting

A visitor to the city, I was travelling alone for work and I very rarely leave a review on places I eat but I am making an exception for the Mogal E Azam. The food was excellent, some nice specialty dishes on the menu, with a nice surprise and flavoursome fruit sorbet pallate cleanser between courses. Staff were very attentive and conversational. One of the best Indian restaurant experiences I have had in a long time.

Absolutely stunning food!! Friendly and quick service. Will definitely be back!! My new favourite place for a ruby 😁

A nice, cosy, and family friendly place with a wide variety of Indian subcontinent food options. The food quality and taste is excellent. Highly recommended.

Amazing restaurant, have been going as a family for years. My parents actually went on their first date to this restaurant and have never had a bad meal.The people are lovely and provide an excellent service and have good hearts too, when I visited today they saw a homeless man not too far from there and gave him a hot meal to take away.Couldnt ask for a better place.

The manager was so rude, we complained and his response was not my problem, just pay. The staff was hanging over us to get us out as we did go in late but they didnt say they were closing. we were over charged and felt like they only wanted our money. Ive never had such bad customer service. Its not my first time there but it defo will be my last. So much better places in Nottingham, stay away

Mogal E Azam - Blissful dream comed trueThis restaurant is like a sacred place. It is not easy to talk about it and your very first descriptions won’t make it justice. I’ve been here a few times and I can not be more amazed of all the beautiful things that I can observe and feel with my whole being. It is like going back in time when there was no other law but the laws of love and gratitude. I came here and the guardians and angelic servants of this place made me feel like I am a worthy person… worthy of their time and attention. I have been invited to take a sit on the sofa just opposite to the bar, whilst waiting to be tended to. There, there are a few small round tables with very nice nibbles.When it was my turn to be served, the waiter thoughtfully asked me what kind of food I would like to enjoy and then he carefully informed me of how the food is going to be prepared and how it is going to taste. This dialog was very insightful and because I have never experienced it before anywhere in the UK, I do appreciate it very much. This shows me how much they care about their customers.I was seated at a table where two wine glasses, a vase with roses and table utensils where already set up like at a wedding table.Food was served in a timely manner and it was deliciously spicy! Some rice with chicken curry and some naan bread. The vegetables inside the curry where very nicely grilled and the chicken bites had the right size, taste and tenderness. I really enjoyed the way they serve the food in the bowls from which you take as much as you want and place it on your main plate, from where you can slowly and elegantly savour it without the risk of messing your clothing.The place is not very big but the way it is furnished with all the tables and indian cultural paintings and objects makes it feel like a dream retiring boat. You have all you need where you need it.The lights are a bit dimmed and nice and the music is very calming and puts you in a beautiful meditative state.In the back side of the restaurant, between tables are a few very nice carpets. It feels like you walk in a palace.On the entrance’s wall there are lots of pictures of a variety of great artists. There are so many things you can learn here if you ask nicely at the right time.The place is very well looked after and the toilets look exceptionally clean and well designed.Ive noticed that there are very fancy people who come here. People of all nationalities with different backgrounds and skills. Ive learned that many of them have been loyal customers of this restaurant for years.If you like big sensations, another thing that you can experience are the trepidations made by the tram passing between this restaurant and the University of Nottingham.The place is very well placed in town… close to the University, the theatre, Cineworld Cinema and next to Crown Plaza Hotel. You shouldve noticed it by now many times I think.If you are after discounts check it out, you might be as mesmerized as I am.Thank you for paying attention to what I had to say. It is your turn to spell your truth.If you enjoyed what you’ve learned from my review, letting me know in any way will be much appreciated.Cheers!In Partnership with Mogal E Azam

Very crowded restaurant. Youre barely given enough space on your table to eat without nudging the person next to you. The other tables areare packed in too tightly as well.The decor felt dated. It really needs a revamp.Our table was so draftly that I had to put my coat on until we complained and got moved. Neither table was near a window as our booking requested.Service was slow, although friendly, and the food very average.Their menus have photos of celebrities who have eaten there, but I get the impression that this is now ancient history and the restaurant is a shadow of what it once was.Wouldnt ever recommend.

The best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. I first went 20 years ago and felling love with the place. Ive never found an Indian that comes even close. Plus I met Chubby brown there a few years back.

Having read the very first few reviews for Mogal, I cant believe my eyes. This restaurant is lovely. I have never been to an Indian restaurant where the staff have been so dedicated to providing brilliant, friendly and efficient service. The waiters never fail to deliver a smile and a nice conversation between courses. The service is quick and not once have I found myself waiting for more than ten minutes. The staff are so unbelievably attentive and friendly; it is obvious that their only aim is to please. Not to mention the fact that they always provide girls with a flower upon exit! Charming and brilliant place to eat.

Was oe of my favourite restaurant but 2b charged £3 for a soda & lime taking the Mickey ☹

80 of us in upstairs banquet room. Nice food, drinks overpriced and no cash machine for 80 of us. Staff very very nice. 2 toilets were a joke, one was dirty at the start of the evening and the other one we had to cling onto the wall to squeeze in and out.

Good food and service at a reasonable price.

Lovely food..excellent customer service..Food was really amazing...good to go every time there again n again

My husband found this restaurant on the internet and on the back of the reviews booked a table before our show tonight. The food was fantastic and the service was brilliant and the owner was a very friendly funny guy. Highly recommend if you like Indian food.

Came here after a few drinks and the staff were VERY accommodating to a group of tanked up morons!! the food was gorgeous and there was plenty of it too. well worth the visit (we were a little confused by the pictures of the celebrities on the wall...were there for a meal and brought head shots with them??)

Complete poison, went on Friday night and have had chronic diarrhoea all weekend since. It was expensive as well, and a really bland tomatoey curry with doughey naan anyway wouldnt go back for £500 cash in hand.

Really nice place to eat. Really friendly staff and amazing food. My experience was really nice which I booked for my partners birthday. Will definitely be returning when back in the area.

Friendly staff. Food delicious, served very hot. Would definitely recommend.

Tasty food and impressively quick service. Staff were nice and welcoming.

A really good restaurant. The.food was excellent and the staff very friendly and efficient

Great place to eat. So tasty and fresh hot foods.

Been here many times and found it to be very good, in fact, better than excellent.Went last week after all the lockdown and was very disappointed with the service and of the quality of the dish.There was a woman working there that appeared to be over seeing everything and as soon as our plates were cleared away and the bill was given to us she was there waiting with the card machine.I personally felt that they arent interested in your custom once you have finished ordering.I feel that it has gone down hill.

Last year I visited and gave 1 star. This year it was very good. Well done

Great food, excellent staff, large selection of real tasty foods. Defo worth a visit

A great Friday night meal! The staff were great, the food was gorgeous and the price was very reasonable for the four of us. Couldnt find a single fault! Would definately go back for more...

Food was fantastic but a little pricey, didnt ask for four poppadoms, but got billed for them.

Really friendly staff and delicious food. Recommended

Excellent food and very friendly service.

Nice place with good food

An old favourite from the late 80s. Little surprised we were the only diners at 10pm on a Wednesday.

I somehow presumed this was chain of Mughal e azam Sparkhill in Bhm area. We ordered naans, butter chicken gravy, tandoori and Lime juice. Firstly not hygiene maintenance of dishes and the food was little burnt. The gravy was too much with spices and oil. Lime juice was not on the menu, but they offered to get prepared for us, I should first thank for the hospitality but regret I asked for it as I can prepare better one.

Tasty fresh food and excellent customer service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Really unhappy with this place.. ordered via UberEATS and it turned out expensive for what it was. Then when it arrived both curries were dry and lacking flavour. We rang the restaurant and spoke to a manager, who apologised and told us next time to call the restaurant directly and the next meal would be free. Perfect... we thought. We will give them a second chance. When we rang they said they would only give one curry free, and we would have to pay for the other one. So basically a pointless offer, as to get any sort of resolution we have to give them even more money. To top it off the guy on the phone kept hanging up on us?!

Food was great and staff were friendly and attentive. Would go again

Great food in a nice re vamped venue with friendly efficient service.

This is the very best in India cuisine. The ambience of the restaurant is fabulous and the staff are very relaxed ... Good place for a curry

Arguably the best Indian restaurant in Nottingham; have been coming here for years.

Good food well presented. Friendly staff with good service.

The staff are rude and tried to rush us (telling me three times that I wanted beer when I asked for wine). The food is extremely expensive and not worth it. Much better places nearby.

Service was poor i had finished my starter befor orhers came out curries were not the strength they were meant to be orderd 8 popidoms only got 7

Great curry, they have obviously been here a while, and have got the service down to a T. Food is very tasty, and the staff are efficient and friendly. Although its not the most posh place, youll have a great evening!

A little pricey but worth every penny

Good is nice but not stand out, staff very friendly feels a little old

This restaurant was top class for the food.Staff where nothing near as good as the food.Customer service needs a little tweaking.

Cant understand some of the negative reviews Ive read, me and my partner went in and enjoyed a great meal, good service and a very nice lager. going back soon. loved it out and about in Nottingham and just popped in.

Rude , ignorant told us to walk in ten minutes. Turn up and turned away. Do not go. The man behind the bar was picking his nose and wiping on the bar towel

Best Indian in Nottingham! Staff are great and the price is great as well.

Most of the food was excellent, one dish containing raw chicken spoiled the experience. They did not charge for that though and the service was great overall.
