About Mayur Indian Restaurant
On Castle St in Carrickfergus, Mayur Indian Restaurant serves curries brought to the table in metal bowls with brass handles. The kitchen covers paneer tikka and samosas to start, chicken dishes, and a chilli naan alongside, with sauces and starters that lean toward a sweet flavor profile. A lunch menu offers three courses at a set price. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The dining room looks out toward the castle and the sea nearby.

Customer Review Summary
Diners praise the cooking first, with the paneer tikka singled out by a vegetarian reviewer and the chicken described as excellent quality and cooked beautifully. Close behind is the service, which reviewers repeatedly call attentive, friendly and fast, alongside a dining room several describe as very clean. Others mention the chilli naan from a lunch menu, the setting with a view of the castle right on the edge of the sea, and a peaceful room with only a handful of other diners. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who expected real Indian flavours and found the starter sauces sweet, including a mango sauce and a supposedly minty one with no taste of mint. The same reviewer found the tikka masala too sweet and the samosas missing the cashews and raisins they expected, though they still called the staff friendly. One diner says the curries arriving in traditional metal bowls with brass handles add to the experience.

“We chose it because it said that it is really good food, real Indian. We were disappointed as samosas didn’t have cashews and raisins in, than sauces for starters were all kind if sweet, also the one that is supposed to be minty, wasn’t. Couldn’t taste mint. Mango sauce just sweet, didn’t know it was mango until i asked. Tika masala was also too sweet. Paneer was ok. Staff was friendly.”

“Had a brilliant meal at this spot in Carrickfergus. Everything was absolutely spot on. The presentation was lovely, especially the way they serve the curries in those traditional metal bowls with the brass handles. It really adds to the experience. We enjoyed every single bite and left feeling very satisfied. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. We will definitely be back again soon.”

“This restaurant is unreal!!! Stumbled across it accidentally. To be fair, from the outside it doesn’t look like much but my goodness the cooking is utterly fantastic. Beautiful fresh flavours. Quality ingredients. I’m vegetarian (the paneer tikka was delicious) but others said the chicken was excellent quality and cooked beautifully. The service is super and the restaurant is so clean. Highly recommend.”
