  “As a store manager myself , I was really dissapointed with my visit to this restaurant. I was super excited for the lamb chops but they were super dry , food lacked flavour in general. Atmosphere was okay - our table had a broken light which affected our overall experience. Service was appalling , for the price point of the food , you’d expect the level of service to be top notch. I would reccomend you do check backs on customers, we had to wait over 10 minutes to order our drinks. This review isn’t to slate the establishment but constructive criticism. Better quality food for the price point and more attentive personalised service would take you a long way. I’d recommend manager to sit at every table and review server travel paths, guest experience and better service steps. Thanks.”

  “I recently visited Mughli Charcoal Pit in Rusholme and had a fantastic meal. We ordered the mixed grill, samosas, and onion bhajis, and everything was packed with flavour. The mixed grill was the highlight, with a great selection of tender, smoky, and well-seasoned meats cooked perfectly over the charcoal. The samosas were crispy and delicious, while the onion bhajis were full of flavour and made for a great starter. The food was satisfying, full of authentic flavours, and exactly what you’d hope for from a restaurant in Rusholme. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal and I’d definitely recommend Mughli Charcoal Pit if you’re looking for delicious Pakistani and Indian cuisine.”

  “This was my first trip to the curry mile and I'm very glad i started off with Mughli. The food was very tasty and i will definitely be back. We made the mistake of ordering too many starters (which were all 10/10!) that we were full by the time the main course was due so had to take that home (and was just as tasty!). We got stuck into the food right away so didn't have time to take any pictures.”

  “I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place managed to turn a birthday dinner into something worth warning others about. We came in on a quiet Tuesday evening, thinking it would be a relaxed experience. At first, service was acceptable—nothing special, but fine. That didn’t last long. Our server, Shama, seemed far more interested in pushing drinks than actually listening, despite us clearly saying we weren’t interested—especially given the very limited non-alcoholic options. Apparently, persistence is more important than customer preference here. Then came the moment that really set the tone. Out of nowhere, while we were still deciding, she asked about our background. The second we mentioned our parents are from Pakistan, her entire demeanour changed—instantly. Gone was the polite service, replaced with a cold, dismissive attitude that made it very clear we were no longer being treated the same. Call it what you want, but it didn’t feel like a coincidence. Drinks (still water and mango lassi) arrived practically thrown onto the table, along with glasses that didn’t exactly scream “clean.” When the food came—again, more dropped than served—it was clear that basic courtesy had left the building entirely. Which is almost impressive, because the food itself was genuinely excellent. 10/10. It takes real effort to serve food that good while making customers feel that unwelcome at the same time. The rest of the experience followed the same theme: music loud enough to make conversation a chore, no wet wipes or hand towels despite a menu built around finger foods, and being told to use a toilet that was unavailable—while a staff member nearby sat scrolling on his phone, contributing absolutely nothing except attitude. And then, the final touch of irony—a service charge added to the bill, as if any part of this experience justified it. Asking for it to be removed was clearly met with annoyance, which honestly said everything about how little customer experience seems to matter here. What stood out most wasn’t just the poor service—it was how noticeably it changed after that one question about our background. Whether deliberate or not, it left a bad taste that no amount of good food could fix. If you’re happy being treated like an inconvenience while eating great food, this is the place for you. If not, I’d strongly suggest going elsewhere. Safe to say, I won’t be returning—and I won’t be recommending it either.”

  “U have to try this place, hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever had. It’s on a busy bustling street which has a unique atmosphere (feels like your on holiday) We had popadoms (which wasn’t like normal popadoms, clean tasting) Brocoli “made differently” Lamb chops Leopard rolls Scorpion prawns Lamb biriyani Butter chicken Cheese naan. Finished off with a cookie dough which was also delicious. It was all honestly flawless… One thing I will say is that the stairways to the toilet and the toilets themselves let the place down a bit. But i cant not knock this place it was exceptional. Credit to the owners and staff.”

  “Mughli is a solid 3.5/5 (I’ve rounded to 4/5). This is a slick operation - you’re greeted by a frenetic restaurant, staff buzzing around, incense in the air. Decent mix of customers too - from date nights to families, albeit a middle class crowd these days. Forget the razzle dazzle, what about the grub? No real complaints here, if I’m brutally honest I was expecting the grilled meats to knock my socks off - they were fine but not top tier. Everything else too was perfectly fine but you’re unlikely to be talking about it in 6 months time.”

  “It seriously pains me to leave this review but I was so incredibly disappointed with my recent order that felt I had to say something. I ordered the butter chicken and received this vacuum packed microwave meal. I was honestly so shocked as I’ve been to Mughli in person a few times before and had some really great meals there, but if this is what they give to delivery customers then I can’t help but feel like their whole menu must also be these same pre-packaged curries. The taste was just as you’d expect from a ready meal, edible but nothing special, and definitely not worth £15. Don’t get me wrong, I like a ready meal once in a while, but I would have gone to the supermarket if that’s what I wanted. I ordered the Peter’s naan as well and that at least seemed to be fresh (or at least I hope it was). I should also add that I tried to raise this with the delivery app I used and their response was just to give feedback to the restaurant, so here I am. I guess I just wanted to warn others that this is the kind of food they serve, but if you enjoy paying a lot of money for ready meals then this will be perfect for you.”

  “A restaurant with a difference! Great atmosphere, friendly, accommodating staff and we loved the charcoal pit in the dining area! Good variety of dishes on the menu, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The food was excellent and the Malai Broccoli straight off the charcoal was superb! Would recommend if you want to try a curry house offering something a bit different.”

  “This place is fabulous, every dish we ordered made us go ‘wow’ and the flavours are incredible. The charcoal grill was our fav’s. The broccoli, lamb & prawns! Instead of dessert we had a cocktail called Daru Lassi which absolutely finished our evening off perfectly! Insta was right! You should visit here 💗”
