Last night we finally dined at the newly opened Mama Masala Glengormley . My 5 year old daughter,…read morewife and I dined and we were missing my 9 year old, who was at a friends party but gave us strict instructions to bring her back a pepperoni pizza!! I've dined in the original Mama Masala Londonderry (owned by the same owners) and really enjoyed it so was looking forward to tasting the food! I've been following the journey of this new restaurant avidly (Metamorphosis ) and have written about the Story. Whilst we looked at the extensive Indian and Italian menu we nibbled on fresh, crisp poppadoms served with three sweet dips/chutneys. The menu was a very well thought out and well designed one and there were plenty of dishes to choose from!! We chose Vegetable samosa and garlic prawns to start and my little one wanted her chicken nuggets and chips!! My wife also had a mojito which she said was delicious. The presentation of both the prawns and samosas was very elegant and appetising. The 2 large king prawns were served butterflied, with tails on and in a rich, garlic sauce and were amazing. The three filo samosas looked a bit oily and when we cut into them discovered they had meat in them. We flagged this up and the staff were very apologetic and the proprietor Gagan personally served us fluffy perfect Punjabi vegetable samosas. These were exactly like one gets in Punjab itself and delicious suffice to say!! The portion size and taste of the nuggets and chips was excellent. For main course my wife opted for the chicken penne and I the rara gosht with Mama Masala Nan. When these were served it was quite literally a "wow" moment. The pasta was served in a large dish, the lamb in a deep oval dish and there was plenty in each. What really struck us was the authenticity, the very generous quality meat content (chicken breast, lots of tender chunks of lamb interspersed with minced lamb or keema) and the flavours!!! The pasta was in a creamy, yet not too heavy sauce with a nice touch of sun dried tomatoes and basil. The rara gosht is certainly one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had, even my wife loved it and she's not a big lamb eater. The nan was soft, full of flavour (Chillies and coriander) and was ideal with the lamb and pasta!! The dish was full of flavour and spice and not oily or sweet or artificially coloured. This was the real McCoy!! Our waiter remembered that we had ordered a pepperoni pizza to take and he duly presented it to us as we were leaving. The venue was superb, the staff were tremendous and the food was exceptional. I can now say that this will be a firm favourite of ours and is highly commended!!

Outstanding Indian food, the best we've had in a long time…read more The lamb madras had an amazing blend of spices with the perfect level of heat. The kahri was sweet and packed with vegetables, exactly what we were looking for. Fantastic naan too.

Not a fan. I've heard some superb reviews about how out of this world The Khyber is. I was sorely…read moredisappointed. Not once, but twice did they get our order wrong. It wasn't like it was that difficult, there was only two of us, we both ordered the same thing, and they didn't get either right...How does that even work? I thought, OK, maybe they're having a bad day. So after a while I decided that everyone deserves a second chance, the next time we decided to order take away, they got that wrong too. The food was ... ok.... by no mean standards. The naan bread was dry (big disappointment) and the korma wasn't quite how I would expect. I'm a huge Indian fan so I was gutted when all this happened. i would love more excellent Indian restaurants around the area. I wanted to give the place a chance but now I'll stick to The Kinara thanks very much.

Archana has the greatest vegetarian range that I have ever seen on an Indian menu and quite possibly the greatest vegetarian range of restaurants in Belfast in general. The vegetarian selection is even sub-categorised into potato dishes, pulse dishes etc. Favourites of mine would include Burta (aubergine) and Raj Mah (red kidney beans). On my most recent visit, I had the Dal Chilli. Sometimes I have meat but the veggy options are too interesting for the enquiring omnivore to ignore!

Why does the big god of food send down these amazing places like the Bokhara - is it just to tease me? Indian food is my favourite and I'm sure your man up there knows that! The Bokhara is one of those Indians i save for special occasions because if I didn't I'd be in there every single night. This Indian restaurant was recommended to me by a friend - he is also rounded in the waistline so I knew that he wasn't kiddin' when he said it was awesome. I don't want to go on about the menu as it is just your typical Indian food menu but the food is fresh, the spices are clearly tasted, the portions are generous and the ambiance is lovely. If you go on a Sunday - Thursday between 5pm and 9pm they do four courses for £25.00 per couple - you couldn't beat that with a big stick! Go, eat, tell them big Ger sent you, they know who I am!

Without a doubt one of the best Indian restaurants in Belfast is Zafron Restaurant…read more It has a varied selection of different foods at good prices and the food is consistently good as is the service. The decor in the restaurant needs improving , but I think the food makes up for it. Also the food is fresh and packed with lots of flavour, not the watered down sauces that you get at some restaurants. Overall I think its definately worth a trip down to Zafron Restaurant.
