Mughal-e-Azam Restaurant & Banqueting

I went to Mughal e Azam for brunch and it was amazing. The place is really clean with a nice aesthetic and the staff were so polite and friendly. The lady at front of house was warm and welcoming which set a good vibe straight away. Our waiter Bilaal was really great too, really professional and friendly, he took our order with ease and made sure everything was perfect throughout. The food tasted fresh, full of flavour and was presented really well. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and I’d definitely recommend it.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and genuine welcome which was lovely. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful – a perfect blend of traditional Desi charm and modern elegance. The food was nothing short of incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. From the starters to the mains, everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Their drinks and dessert selection was equally impressive. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing mocktail or a classic sweet treat like gajar ka halwa or cookie dough , there’s something for everyone. What really stood out was the amazing customer service – attentive, friendly, and truly committed to making the dining experience special. Overall, it was an outstanding experience. We couldn’t fault a single thing and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

We had Iftar at Mughal Restaurant’s buffet. The restaurant has a calm and tranquil atmosphere, creating a welcoming and familiar vibe. The traditional décor is beautifully done, adding to the overall experience. However, the buffet selection was a bit disappointing. We were expecting classic Pakistani dishes like haleem, nihari, and saag, but instead, most of the options were just different types of curry with various meats. On the bright side, the dessert section was diverse and enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the bill. It was quite expensive—£70 in total. I was charged the full price for my 4.5-year-old daughter, and two small bottles of Sprite cost £6, which felt excessive. On a positive note, the service was excellent—quick, professional, and attentive. A special shoutout to the receptionist, who was exceptionally kind, polite, and professional. Overall, while the service and ambiance were great, the buffet selection and pricing left much to be desired .

Absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was perfectly prepared and presented, and our server usama was attentive and knowledgeable making sure that if we where running out on anything he was there for us very polite and well mannered. Also our other server Nahida was really happy in serving us and taking care of everything managing everything well. You have a great team of staff and the food was freshly cooked to perfection . Hands down,some of the best food I've had recently!The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavours was unforgettable.

Food was really lovely and the atmosphere was lovely! I came with my husband and my baby daughter. The place took us right back to Pakistan- it felt like home! The ambience, the rustic feel and the interior transported us back into history. The food, although quite mild, was still tasty. We had nihari, haleem that came with toppings on the side (which I mostly devoured) and we ordered the naashta thaal along with rogani naan. The chips were great. The mango lassi I ordered was thick, creamy and delicious. We had so many leftovers which they gave us SATCO sturdy containers to pack in which was enough to feed the rest of our family at home! We were served by two outstanding waiters. One called Osama and one called Maryam. Both were friendly, helpful and lovely! Thank you so much for making our experience great today Osama and Maryam. 🙂

Mughal-E-Azam – A 10/10 Dining Experience Visited Mugal-E-Azam today with my family, and it was an experience to remember! The ambiance was next level – warm, inviting, and beautifully done. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the seating arrangements were very comfortable, making us feel right at home. A special shoutout to Bilal, who went above and beyond to guide us through the menu. His recommendations were spot on! We ordered the Mix Grill, which was not only generous in portion (easily enough for four people) but tasted exactly like the authentic flavors of Pakistan – absolutely perfect. The Namkeen Ghost was cooked to perfection with no smell from the meat and had just the right amount of spices. The Chicken Charsi Karahi also stood out with its rich flavor and great quantity. One of the surprises of the night was the Flaming Chicken Burger – unlike anything we’ve had across the UK. Truly top-notch. And to top it all off, we tried the Loaded Parmesan – massive in size, packed with flavor, and completely satisfying. This was honestly the first time I've rated a restaurant in the UK a full 10/10. We came all the way from Cardiff, and it was absolutely worth the trip. Highly, highly recommended!

Disappointed by Service and Standards at Mughal-e-Azam Visited Mughal-e-Azam in Birmingham recently, and while the venue itself is visually impressive, the overall experience left much to be desired. Accessibility Failures Access to disabled toilets was blocked due to an event in the hall, which is a serious oversight. Facilities should remain available to all guests regardless of concurrent bookings. ️ Misleading Portion Advice We were told by staff that each chapli kebab portion included two kebabs, only to be served one. This kind of misinformation erodes trust and reflects poorly on service standards. Undercooked Tandoori Roti The kitchen struggled with basics—our tandoori roti was sent out undercooked not once, but twice. For a restaurant specializing in Mughlai cuisine, this was both surprising and disappointing. Poor Steak Execution The Angus steak arrived 15 minutes after the rest of the food and was overcooked. It disrupted the meal and left one guest waiting awkwardly while others had already started. No Free Drinking Water We were surprised to find that no complimentary drinking water was offered. Instead, we were charged £3 for a glass bottle—despite far more affordable alternatives being readily available. This felt unnecessarily inflated and out of step with reasonable hospitality. While the ambiance and decor suggest a premium experience, the service and kitchen execution need serious attention. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements to match the venue’s potential.
