About The Mogul
On the High St in Saffron Walden, The Mogul is an Indian restaurant at number 21, with exposed ceiling beams across the dining room. The kitchen cooks both Bangladeshi and Indian dishes, and the extensive menu centres on curry. Naan bread and poppadoms are on the menu as accompaniments to the curries. Waiters provide table service and bring the food to the table. The restaurant suits large groups, who can order across both Bangladeshi and Indian dishes at one table.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food, describing lovely dishes from an extensive menu in decent portions, with one diner raving about a takeaway order and another calling it their first choice for a curry night out. Staff are described as polite and professional, and the restaurant as good for large groups, relaxing, and full on a Friday night. Close behind is its standing in town, with one diner returning since it opened. A recurring complaint centers on service and the kitchen. Two reviewers report warm drinks, one describing room temperature colas with two ice cubes each, along with slow food, including mains that took over an hour for one table. Others cite underbaked naan, microwave poppadoms, and bland, tough food. Both service complaints end the same way: the warm drinks came off the bill, yet staff still pressed for the service charge, which one receipt marked as optional.

“We have enjoyed many meals from here, but tonight the food was bland, tough and the poppadoms were microwave. Very disappointed and will not return.”

“Have used The Mogul, Saffron Walden since it opened with Moti and now Dulon and Sam. Never fails to produce top class food (extensive menu) with equally top class service. A lovely relaxing atmosphere.”
