The Mogul in Tendring

The food is ok, the takeaway service is awful. We called at 5pm to book a delivery for 7pm, by 7:30pm there was still nothing so we rang up and they said they were waiting for a delivery driver to show up for a shift? So my husband ended up driving down there to get it, which defeats the purpose of ordering a takeaway at all. They offered us a bottle of Cobra as an apology which isn't much use when you're pregnant. Poorly organised business.

Ordered online for a delivery was told on app that it would be delivered at 8pm, at 8.17 rang the mogal to see where our order was and was assured it was 2 minutes away, at 8.37pm recieved a call from resturant telling us we needed to collect as he was short on drivers i explained that we were drinking a bottle of wine and was unable to collect( why we opted for delivery in first place) he then said our meal would be with us in 20 minutes, at 9.23 driver rang and practically argued that she was knocking on my door! ...clearly not, put coat on and went down road to find her, paid and set about eating our awaited curry to which was cold, not just a little cold it was cold enough to store in fridge such a shame disgusting customer service from start to finish.

Very nice meal celebrating my Brother in law’s birthday, very quiet but was a Monday! Very friendly place

First time ever visiting the Mogul with my boyfriend was amazing and great service throughout the evening. Food was very hot and delicious, drinks were flowing perfectly.Second time we ordered delivery, food was good and warm but unfortunately it was very late and we was waiting over an hour baring in mind it was a sunday (shouldn't be busy) would've been quicker to collect.

DISAPPOINTINGThis was the second time we have ordered a takeaway for delivery. The first time was about 4 weeks ago. When the food arrived we realised one of dishes was completely wrong, not what we had ordered! We phoned up and complainedand was asked if we could come and pick it up. We couldn’t as we had been drinking. The man said he would refund it, but never did!Afterwards we thought we would give them another try as mistakes happen but after tonight’s dinner we wish we hadn’t!The order arrived about 25 minutes late, it was barely warm. We we opened the trays of vegetable curry (ordered Biryani’s) they were only half full and the dishes tasted bland, no taste. Actually not spicy at all which is really weird for Indian food!Will not be ordering from here again.

Nice food , reasonable pricing and good selection of vegan options though not obvious on the menu. Friendly staff, amazing historic building.

I just visited the Mogul with my partners family and it was honestly the best experience I've had in a restaurant from start to finish! The staff were great and very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks. The owner made the night for me he was an outstanding man with great people skills and made us all feels at home. The food was delicious with generous but not huge portions. I would definitely recommend anyone (even if you're not into spicy food) to try this place. I think it helps that it's a relatively small venue as the service is that much better! Thanks everyone at the Mogul!

Food was delightful and plentiful. Drink costs a little exuberant however £11 for a beer and a diet coke. Service was odd, certain servers were chatty, laughing and approachable. Others were grumpy and abrubt. Eaten here twice now, not recently though and themes remain the same.On the whole a nice evening and they did accommodate us without a booking. Also offered end of meal drinks on the house. Worth a visit.

Lovely meal…. I found the service to be strange though

recently went to the mogul last time was 15 years ago still very good indeed food was very nice chicken narga excellent along with the onion bhaji. would of scored 5 stars if the drinks order wasn't messed up a few times. that said looking forward to going back and to see the very friendly owner
