Mahal

My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary. The food and service at Mahal was impeccable!! The samosas we had as appetizers were some of the best we'd ever had. For Entrees, my husband has the lamb vindaloo, I had the chicken Korma and we shared a palak paneer. We had the rosemary naan and rice as sides. The food portions were generous, we were full when we finished and still have some to take home for lunch the next day. We will definitely come back again! Sorry that my photos are taken mid-meal!!

This is the first Indian Restaurant we’re happy with since we moved on LI. We’ve been in search for good Indian food for 3 years. Mahals food is full of flavor, the staff is friendly and attentive and the ambiance is inviting. Veg Samosa was good. Tandoori Chicken was one of my favorites. Tender, juicy and flavorful. Chicken tikka masala and chili garlic naan also amazing and flavorful. The goat biryani was ok, it had a sweet taste instead of savory but the goat was tender. For dessert the Kulfi and Gajahara (if I’m spelling it correctly) were also very good. Gajahara is very sweet so beware. It’s the orange desert in the pics. Even my lemonade was tasty. I will def be going back.

A few friends and I had dinner here last Friday and had such a great time. The bartender was super helpful and found us a drink we loved, and the whole staff was really friendly and welcoming. The food was incredible. Hands down my favorite dish was the palak chaat. We ordered a bunch of different things to share, and every meat dish was perfectly cooked and super juicy. Overall, an awesome experience.

Incredible dinner experience at Mahal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served hot and fresh. The tandoori chicken and grilled items were especially amazing. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked.

Service was top-notch — friendly, quick, and professional. The staff made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout. The atmosphere was elegant and peaceful — a great place to enjoy a relaxing evening meal.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality food with great service!

Overall a good experience at Mahal in Roslyn Heights. The ambiance is nice, and the service was attentive, but I was a little surprised to see so many empty tables on a Saturday night.. it made the space feel a bit quiet for what could be a more lively weekend dinner spot.

We tried a variety of dishes, many of which were very good. That said, I do think the menu could benefit from being more focused. There are just too many options, and I’d love to see them narrow it down to highlight more authentic, well-executed Indian dishes.

Some of the fusion items sounded exciting but didn’t quite land. The truffle naan, for example, sounded great on paper but barely had any truffle flavor. The papaya salad was also underwhelming—it was more like raw veggie sticks with soy vinegar on the side, which felt a bit out of place. And the mixed seafood platter was another miss, especially with honey mustard on the side… honey mustard with Indian food (?) just didn’t make sense to me.

That said, I do see potential here. The kitchen clearly has talent, and with a more curated, authentic menu, I think Mahal could really shine. I hope they keep refining because the space and concept have a lot of promise.
