Moti Jheel

We had an amazing meal here after Newcastle Races, the food was some of the best we've had. We both had poppadum's to start with a large selection of condiments - a couple were very spicy which my husband likes then we followed them by the onion bhaji starter and meat chatt on puri which was delicious. Just the right size portion too. For my main meal I enjoyed a generous portion of the Chicken Tikka Mossala with mince and my husband tried the spicy version which he said had just the right amount of spice but was tasty with it too. We shared pilau rice and a garlic keema naan which was cooked to perfection. To top it off we paid less than what we would usually spend on a takeaway. We were aware that this restaurant didn't sell alcohol (apparently you can bring your own) but we were happy with water after drinking all day. The staff were polite and attentive and the courses were served in a timely manner despite there being lots of customers picking up takeaways. Inside the restaurant we'd have liked a bit more atmosphere as it was very quiet with us being the only table in for the majority of the meal but I don't think this is reflective of usual evenings as I believe the races being on meant it was less busy. All in all I would definitely recommend this restaurant for an authentic tasty Indian meal.

We've not sat in the restaurant, but we have had many takeaways over the last couple of months or so. After looking for a new takeaway we decided to try Moti Jheel, and they have yet to disappoint (hopefully not). I would encourage anybody to go out of your comfort zone. Chicken Katmi, Pimento and Kartoush are very tasty (all about the flavours). The chicken is always very tender. We don't go anywhere else now. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, but you can take your own. *****
