We always like to try somewhere new and although we love a good curry, it’s good to get something a bit different from the norm.
We weren’t disappointed at all…..From the initial warm friendly greeting when we arrived, we were shown through to the bar for a pre dinner drink. The happy smiling barman was so polite and welcoming. The dining room itself was lovely with plenty of space between tables; and although quite busy, it wasn’t too noisy so we could enjoy our own conversations!
The food was outstanding…..starting with a mouth watering Amuse Bouche that really set the tone for the rest of the meal. We ordered the Welsh Lamb and The Venison…..both absolutely delicious….highly recommend the black lentils as a side dish too! The service itself was fabulous too and we cannot fault how attentive all the staff were. We don’t usually manage dessert, but we shared the chocolate & mint mousse, which was absolutely divine. An after dinner Limoncello and coffee were on the house as a thank you from the management for travelling from
Bristol to enjoy our wonderful meal. We will DEFFO be back to try the Spring tasting menu, which we have been advised is outstanding…..will need to get a cab for that one!! with the wine tasting alongside! But highly recommend this fabulous place and will ensure friends and family pay a visit too.

Our family meal at The Mahal last night for my birthday was beyond all expectations. Right from entering the staff couldn’t do enough to help and advise. The food was second to none and truly stunning in presentation. To top it off, my fiancé had organised a birthday cake that the chef presented on a plate with handwritten well wishes in chocolate. We will definitely be back. Thank you all x More...

If you want to have a pleasant and unique experience in Indian cuisine here is the right place. The pleasant atmosphere and of course the sommelier Ovi who knew how to complete by combining wine and impeccable service made everything a perfect evening. We will definitely be back.

I was stunned at the excellent level of service, care and commitment when we went to visit yesterday. From the front desk, management through to the chef himself. All very attentive and took extra care to make sure my family and I were happy. The food was exquisite and this really has been a hidden gem of our trip to the area. I would highly recommend. The front of house Nargis was so interactive and caring with my kids that it meant we instantly felt at home. Really beautiful interiors. If you umming or Arring dont think twice, go right now!! Thanks guys More...

By far the best Indian I've had around Cheltenham. Menu is quite diverse so wasn't just Indian so we also had some seafood starters which again was amazing. You eat with your eyes and the presentation was exceptional. Very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Highly highly recommended More...

Absolutely stunning meal with excellent service. I can highly recommend the butter chicken and white chicken curries and the desserts were heavenly. A lovely touch was the complementary dessert to wish us a happy anniversary and the beautiful card signed by the restaurant staff. We felt completely Covid safe in the outside gazebo and with all the measures taken! More...

Fantastic place to go. The food is wonderful, and accompanied by good service. Tables are not crammed in. so there's space - and it's a beautiful building. The menu is a mix of Thai and Indian, so there's plenty to choose from. I can recommend the Chettinad. Parking is outside. Not the cheapest in town, but definitely one of the best - and we'll be back (again!). More...

Definitely the best food and presentation we have experienced and all in a unique charming period property, brilliant service as well so look forward to our next visit. More...
