Mughli

Curry • Indian • Coffee • Casual

"I 'm sure we have all seen that stereotypical hipster dude who is seen at a coffee shop with his latest MacBook Pro while wearing clothes purchased from a thrift store, or who uses his latest iPhone to take and instagram (yes, that 's a verb now photos of himself with the homeless because his friends would think it was cool. Well, if that guy were a restaurant, he would look like Mughli. Why am I not surprised, then, that Mughli boasts of a clientele that includes the likes of Jared Leto? Let me explain myself. Mughli brands itself as something akin to a street food vendor at a railway station in South Asia. Well, if you ever happen to actually see a railway station in South Asia and the street food around it, you will find nothing in common between it and the ritzy Mughli, just like the guy flashing his electronics with the white Apple logo has nothing in common with the homeless. The pretension works for me, however. I quite enjoy experiencing comfort and luxury behind the façade of affectatious (yes, that also is an adjective now slumming. Mughli is one of the higher end South Asian restaurants on Manchester 's renowned Curry Mile (a misnomer for so many reasons, including the fact that it 's not a mile long, and that there are just as many if not more Middle Eastern restaurants and shisha lounges in this neighborhood as there are curry houses... parentheses are such a great tool for literary digressions, aren 't they? . The menu items and their descriptions are pretty standard, and generally do not appear to be too different from the offerings at other Indian Pakistani restaurants in the area. The execution of these dishes is where Mughli shines (now, do you see why my rating is 4 stars despite my snarky observations about the pretentiousness of this restaurant? . The masala chicken biryani, which is a must try according to the restaurant menu, is indeed an outstanding dish. This spicy chicken and rice dish is strewn with pomegranate jewels and fresh cloves of garlic, which enrich its flavor profile, and is finished in a pot sealed with putty dough to prevent the air and moisture from escaping. The biryani is served with gravy and yogurt raita. While the gravy is a totally redundant condiment, the raita does serve as an enhancement to the already flavorful biryani. This dish is so dissimilar to every version of biryani I 've ever had (and I grew up in South Asia that I almost don 't want to call it biryani. Whatever it needs to be christened, it is absolutely delicious! I don 't find any of the desserts here particularly exciting, but a cup of the desi chai (traditional tea is a great way to finish off a meal at Mughli."

"No complaints about food though the falafel and halloumi cheese hot wraps, the wrap was stuck to the cardboard and hard to get to! But very tasty. Coffee usual standard- very good Tables were not cleaned unless requested and the floor was dirty , littered with food with the table base looking filthy.Obviously no deep cleaning done in a long time. the dustpan and brush left in the middle of the eating area. There was a team manager around but she paid no attention to the state of the eating area. Very disappointed with level of cleanliness"

Al Wali Plasnewydd

Soup • Fish • Sushi • Coffee

"The food at this restaurant is amazing, and the hospitality is welcoming! Some people may be put off by the average setup compared to contemporary standards, but don't let that deter you if you enjoy delicious food. Despite arriving late on a working day with my family, we received excellent service from the staff, including the owner's young son who helped us with our order and questions about allergens. The atmosphere left us with nothing but positive feelings towards the establishment. We were the last ones to leave but will definitely be returning soon with friends and family. I would give it 4.5 stars, but considering the value for money and atmosphere, it's a total winner!"

Yogyums

➤ 1 Corporation St, PR1 2UP, Preston, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cheese • Desserts • Ice Cream

"I often make visits to this quirky little slice of heaven! This place has a great vibe with lovely staff, small but this does not cramp its style! You can eat in or out and there's great variety in what they produce, loads of different milkshakes and smoothies which I am trying to get through but I am confident enough in this place to recommend anything! They also do food such as paninis, waffles and crepes along side a selection of hot drinks! Prices are not extortionate either, very cheap in consideration for what you get! I'd say this is designed more for younger people due to the decor and menu itself but definitely something different and worth a try for anybody!"

"amazing eating as usual, we ordered the whole menu. Perfect, AUTHENTIC food with genuine flavors that are hard to find in london (i’m indian). it is not so if you expect western food without a spicy, then this place is not for you. Great ambiente, it really makes the feeling, they are in a kitschigen biryani house in new delhi. can not recommend enough go stop reading go now"

Cafe Kino

➤ 108 Stokes Croft, BS1 3RU, Bristol, City of, United Kingdom

Cafés • Vegan • Fast Food • Breakfast

"I visited a charming coffee shop with a pleasant ambiance. While there was some confusion with my order, the server kindly clarified that the iced coffee drink I inquired about was not on the menu but was actually an iced latte. I also learned that customers need to order and pay at the counter, rather than having a server take their order at the table. I enjoyed a BLT sandwich, which was recommended to me by the same server who suggested the iced latte. The service was a bit slow, with my sandwich taking about 45 minutes to arrive, but the server apologized for the delay. Despite the wait, I found the atmosphere to be relaxing as I waited with a self-serve water jug and a good book on my Kindle. The sandwich was delicious, especially for those following a vegan/vegetarian diet. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend this coffee shop to others."

Rosewood London

Tea • Wine • Drinks • Western

"I recently returned to the Rosewood London for a four-day stay, and once again had breakfast at the Mirror Room each day. I must say, you will not find a better breakfast dining experience in London. The room itself, along with the decor and table settings, are absolutely beautiful. Each day, we were warmly welcomed by a hostess, a lovely young lady who always had a smile on her face and a can-do attitude. She seated us each day, although I unfortunately do not know her name, I want to express my gratitude. The servers and all other staff in the Mirror Room were exceptional in their service and attentiveness, and their great attitude did not go unnoticed. Thank you all once again. And of course, the food was simply amazing each time we dined there. The flavors were delicious and the presentation on the plate was top-notch, making each meal even more special. On behalf of my family, thank you to everyone for making our stay so wonderful."

Le Chinois

➤ Pavilion Road, London SW1X 0HJ, United Kingdom, SW1X 9LA

Tea • Bars • Asian • Chinese

"We had a reservation for 4 people on a Saturday evening. Since we arrived early, we decided to grab a coffee at the bar located on the ground floor, opposite the reception desk. The restaurant itself is on the first floor and we immediately noticed that it was quite empty. It seemed like the hotel guests were venturing out to other dining options in Knightsbridge, which has no shortage of restaurants. The restaurant has an open plan layout with suitable decor and lighting for a cozy and intimate evening. It became apparent that they were short-staffed that night, which resulted in a slight delay in the service. However, the staff were pleasant and attentive. For starters, we ordered Squid in salt and pepper and chicken dumplings. Both dishes were tasty, with the squid cooked perfectly. The sauce accompanying the chicken dumplings was a bit too salty and vinegary, but the dumplings themselves were good. For the main course, we had Chicken with ginger and spring onion, sweet and sour pork, prawns in black bean sauce, and egg fried rice. All the dishes were flavorful, with perfectly cooked prawns and tender chicken. For dessert, we tried the apple tart and Sago pudding with chilled mango pieces in a light mango sauce. They were both delicious and capped off a pleasant evening. We didn't feel rushed at all and ended up staying for quite a while after our meal. Overall, we had a lovely and peaceful evening and will definitely return to this restaurant in the future."

Federal Café & Bar

➤ 9 Nicholas Croft, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M41EY, M4 1EY, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Seafood • Mexican

"We were recommended to try out this restaurant chain. We were informed that they do not take reservations, so we had to take our chances and wait in line. We arrived at Deansgate early and there were already 10 people ahead of us in line, but we decided to queue up anyway. We all know that waiting in line is not enjoyable, especially when it starts raining. However, this place really stood out. A very friendly staff member stayed with us, brought out hot chocolate for everyone, and even brought out umbrellas when it started raining. This level of service was exceptional, and we hadn't even been seated yet. Once we were finally seated, we were very impressed with the food and service. It was truly outstanding, so be sure not to miss out on this place."

Jini Pizza

➤ 89 City Road, Cardiff, United Kingdom

Meat • Pizza • Curry • Cheese

"Keep in mind that to these guys service means giving you your food. Look beyond any expectations you may have about service and the pizza here is really off the hook. I've had pizza here over a dozen times. Not once has it been bad. Its always been fantastic. Yes they drop the plates and sauce like they don't care but the food they do, is so good. They make great naan and the curry is also good but the pizza is unmatched. I'm a hot n spicy guy but whatever you get, it will be very good. I love this place. No frills and no pretence. Old school attitude, great pizza. All halal. Long live Jini's. Order in person and eat in cos the food will be steaming hot."

"Best cup of coffee in town,highly recommended place to go and very friendly staff. Best wishes to the young lady with the bump for December(one of the nicest people I've ever met) Apologies for not knowing her name. From John AKA latte not too hot and no biscuit required! Hi,just wanted to say how sad it was today when I found out you had closed(due to the ongoing situation we find ourselves in) I have not visited Eastbourne since March this year, so very disappointed when I turned up for a coffee to one of my favourite coffee places in Eastbourne. I do hope this is only temporary and hope to see the place open again very soon. All the very best to the staff at this difficult time(posted on 07th October 2020)"

Masala Craft

Cafés • Indian • Chicken • Delivery Services

"My partner found this before our trip to York and thought it looked good. The reviews were mainly positive so we arrived at 1720 on a Tuesday evening. We were the second couple in and the staff were soon taking the order. They were the only serving staff and one further in kitchen, but they soon had the food coming. The food as far as we were concerned was excellent, very flavoursome, well spiced and piping hot. The belly pork vindaloo melted in the mouth and the sundries were just as good. I was happy with the portion size as they didn't overface us, which allowed us to try the pickle tray and poppadoms and the bahjis were also a credit to the restaurant as many are pre made and a bit stodgy, not these which I guess we're made and cooked fresh. The bill was also reasonable for the food and alcohol. I'd be happy to go again as the food was so nice."

The Royal Oak - Yattendon

➤ The Square Yattendon, Berkshire RG18 0UF, RG18 0TN, Thatcham, United Kingdom

Beer • Hotels • Coffee • English

"The perfect stopover! I commute across the M4 frequently, and was forever fed up with the noisy services at Membury and Chieveley. Just 5-8 minutes from Junction 13, I can guarantee it's an infinitely, nicer, quieter and more tasty stopover! The staff are absolutely delightful, (as well as being situated in the beautiful village of Yattendon, if you fancy a walk around), deliciously well made coffee, cakes, sandwiches and cooked breakfasts, and plenty of easy parking. It's also dog friendly, vegan and gluten free friendly, and provides all alternative milks. Highly recommend!!!"

"Five of us, former male work colleagues who are now retired, dined at this restaurant. We all chose the tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was attentive and top-notch. The wine selection was fantastic, and the atmosphere and decor were great. We are looking forward to coming back again in the future."

"I'm a little bit in love with this place. The coffee is amazing, a beautifully smooth roast served piping hot every time. The food is fresh, local and delicious. Great variety of beverages and food from artisan hot chocolates to this beautiful ploughman's platter. I'm having great fun making my way through their menu. Next homemade cheesecake!"

Cafés • Kebab • Mexican • Asiatic

"My wife and I had breakfast for the first time this morning at the 'Longholme Cafe '. We were very impressed by the overall set up, with seating outside and in. They are definitely covid friendly, providing overhead patio heaters and blankets to keep you warm if you wish to use them. The service given was attentive and informal without being overbearing. I ordered the 'Longholme Hash ' which was tasty and perfectly seasoned. My wife ordered the brioche bun with a free range egg and smoked bacon, which she enjoyed and said was very tasty. Having tried and been impressed with the overall package at the Longholme Cafe, we shall certainly return."

The Tickled Trout

➤ 878 Boclair Road, G62 6EP, Glasgow City, United Kingdom

Steak • Asiatic • British • European

"so my man has always gone from this restaurant and after reading all the positive reviews we have decided to book a table. first I would say that all staff members were very polite and we understand that it is nice for the server to be friendly; but most of the other servers that were on other tables also constantly asked us if we were happy and after a few times this started getting on our nerves. Now that we tried to eat something, the menu is misleading and is too expensive! my man had 'soup of the day' tasted like water with some spicy and I feel that this came from a freezer. I was really tensed on three times boiled chips to get frozen of chips that were deep fried; also, the fish had a nice enough teig, but the fish was watery and tasteless, suggesting that this was also frozen and we definitiw buy the same mushy heaps from the zinn home feel a foolish nausea. we can only write an honest critique, really disappointed!"

Beirut Nights

➤ 19 Abbey Road London, NW10 7RB, NW10 7SA, United Kingdom

Tea • Chicken • Lebanese • Desserts

"Booked Beirut Nights on the recommendation of a friend for my and couldn't have been happier. From the moment we arrived we were treated as special guests, given a better table, kept entertained and served with the best Strawberry Mojitos you will taste! They allowed us to have our own cake which they kindly served for us in the Shisha lounge area once we were done eating, complete with a sparkling candle and full Happy Birthday... we stayed well over hours at the restaurant/lounge and could have stayed longer. We were never made to feel like they were waiting for us to leave. I would recommend Beirut Nights for a quiet Shisha and drinks on a weekend or indeed for a birthday party with a huge group its such a versatile venue!"

Chai Street, Canton

➤ 153 Cowbridge Road, East Cardiff, United Kingdom

Thai • Indian • Chinese • Fast Food

"I have been coming here since it opened. Chai street has always been an absolutely fantastic place to eat. The food is amazing and the service is second to none. This was proven to me again today when I ordered a take away through a third party app. My food was delivered to the wrong address and subsequently never arrived. The Chai street staff we absolutely amazing at sorting it out for me, even though it is not their responsibility once they have given the food to the delivery driver. I cannot recommend this place enough both for the service and the food. If I could give more then 5 stars I would."

Cafe Chula

➤ United Kingdom, City of London,Westminster

Soup • Pizza • Tapas • Mexican

"My spouse and I often frequent this place, it 's truly the gem of Sheen. You have all the standard coffee shops the Nero, the Costa, but Milestone is a fabulous niche coffee place. Lovely and cosy inside a real atmosphere, lovely different furniture, cushions, so homely.When we 've been there we 've had the fry ups agree with the comments below, it 's great! They always make me a healthier version of the full english e.g. with poached egg, more veggies instead of sausages. We 've also had the other food e.g. the burgers, the quiche (really recommend this, had a great trout one and comes with lots of different salads). The best thing though the hangover juices! Their fresh juices are the best and 'The Hangover Juice ' which is carrot, ginger and some other stuff is so good. Hits the spot.Only problem is we get nervy every time we go there as always worried there won 't be seats available! Amaze."
