Mogul

THE WORST EVER INDIAN RESTAURANT!

I can hardly believe the good reviews posted here. Are we talking about the same restaurant? I went to Mogul Greenwich 2 weeks ago, on a Saturday night. We had a table for 4 booked and specifically asked for a table downstairs, which they said was fine.

When we got there we were greeted by a bloke who barely acknowledged us and ushered us downstairs. Another guy then said "NO. Upstairs only" and waved us rudely back upstairs.

We went back up to find our table was by the toilets. No one had said “hello”, “what would you like?”, asked us for drinks or anything. After 15 minutes I had to get up and ask for drinks. We were totally blanked by the ignorant looking miserable bloke behind the bar. All the other staff looked really miserable too.

Once we ordered the food (after having to get a waiter's attention again) we chatted over our first drinks. 30 minutes later - no word from the waiters... I had to ask for another round of drinks. No apology for the late food, no one asking if we wanted another drink as we say with empty glasses.

Finally after being in there for 1 hour 15 minutes, and still without our food, or any service whatsoever, we decided enough is enough and got up. I said "…we have had enough, we are leaving…" and incredibly Mr Happy seemed to be expecting it as if it happens every night. He said “ok - I will get your bill”.

Drinks came to £9.40 (he only remembered to charge us for the first round) and I handed him £10. He said "Thanks goodnight." as if he would keep the change. I asked "What about my change???" He said indignantly” I will need to go downstairs for it!" …. I said "off you go then - I will wait here" and made him go and get my change.

NEVER go to that place. It is the worse service I have ever encountered.

Just for your info - we then took a cab to the most fantastic Indian in London in my opinion. Curry Asia in Woolwich…. And Yes, I did say Woolwich! Get a cab there and try it. Service and food is impeccable.

This is THE best Indian I have ever had - and from a girl who has lived a lot her life in the West Midlands...

Beautiful food - cooked SO well. Try one of the Dhal's. They will take your breathe away. I would be happy with just a plate of pilau from here.

From a woman who spent 5 student years in the curry mile in Manchester, I know that Mogul is a brilliant Indian restaurant and that the ones in Manchester are completely out classed by their freshly cooked, fairly priced cuisine; the meat is good quality and the side dishes are excellent. The waiters are fine and proffessional the decor is fine upstairs or down; it is little so you will be quite near people but it is great food, especially as Greenwich has relatively average and over-priced restaurants.

Food was cold uncooked and the place was quite dreary the stairs to the toilets are a nightmare any large persons beware using them, food apperars from Waiters going up and down from the basement area on large trays do yourself a favor go to Brick Lane for a decent Indian Meal.
