Overall, Mehfil earns praise for flavorful, fresh, and generously portioned dishes across options like butter lamb curry, biryani, and a satisfying buffet, with several reviews highlighting friendly, attentive service and a warm, welcoming ambience suitable for meals and hosting events; however, some consistency issues are noted, including appetizers arriving after mains, mixed-up orders, and irregular water service, along with occasional decor drawbacks, while a few menu items such as a very salty chicken noodle dish and undercooked meat were reported, though many guests say problems were addressed and the kitchen showed responsiveness, and some patrons later observed improved service.
I visited this place with my family, & overall it felt similar to many average Indian restaurants in the area. The food taste & quality are good, & we enjoyed several dishes. However, the service definitely needs improvement, as it felt slower & less attentive than expected. The restaurant also comes across as overpriced for what it offers, especially considering the overall experience.
With a few adjustments in service & pricing, this place could deliver a much stronger value for families.
Je ne recommande absolument pas cette salle de réception. La soirée était très décevante. Tout ce que j'avais discuté avec le responsable n'a pas été respecté : le jour J, rien n'était conforme à ce que j'avais demandé pour la salle.
Il n'y avait qu'une seule serveuse pour 100 personnes, ce qui est clairement insuffisant. J'ai également demandé à changer l'emplacement de la scène, mais on m'a refusé, alors que d'autres ont pu le faire.
C'était donc la première & la dernière fois pour moi. Je pense que si j'avais pris le service complet (nourriture, etc.), l'expérience aurait peut-être été différente.

I ordered the butter lamb curry, cumin rice, & garlic nane. It was all delicious.
The person who work there are really welcoming & answered all of our needs.
Constructive criticism:
1- Add some ambiance to the restaurant. Like nashid playing, a big TV with something that has to do with your culture, lighting
2- Serve every customers from the same table at the same time. It's awkward when someone receive their dish & the next one 10 minutes later.
3- Serve the appetizers BEFORE the main dishes. We received our orders all mixed up. I received the main dish so I started eating, then in the middle of it I received my appetizer lol
4- Always fresh water bottles on table. We had water that has been sitting there all day before we asked for fresh water. Also, we had to ask the waitress for water all the time. Usually, waitress notice that & bring water by themselves.
By the way, this is how it works in every other restaurants.
The food was delicious, so if you guys make the service better, this could become a top tier restaurant.
UPDATE: I went back yesterday & the service was better. They made sure to serve us our appetizers before the main dishes. They were also canstantly changing our empty water bottles. Therefore, I am upgrading my review stars from 4* to 5*. Food was delicious as always.
The food was AMAZING. I tried the buffet & everything was so tasty. I am not particularly a fan of the decor or the atmosphere, but it is worth it for the food alone.
I recently hosted a party at this restaurant, & everything was simply amazing! The food was absolutely delicious-every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, & made sure every guest felt special. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, which made the celebration even more memorable. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking to host an event or just enjoy a great meal. Highly recommended!
I order 2 dahi bhalla both smell too bad
. Even after eating one spoon i had very bad stomach ache . At least be careful with food saftey ,this is unacceptable.i never recommend anyone to buy food from them . Just wastage of money & risk of health.
I recently ordered the chicken noodle dish &, to be honest, I was very disappointed. The noodles were extremely salty, to the point where they were difficult to enjoy. I mentioned this to the waitress, who was extremely helpful & kind. She even tasted the dish herself & agreed it was overly salty. She kindly returned the noodles to the kitchen, & a fresh serving was brought out. Unfortunately, the replacement was just as salty as the first.
Aside from the noodles, everything else about the meal was good. The service was excellent, & the staff went out of their way to try to make things right. However, the seasoning of the noodles really overshadowed the rest of the experience.

Dined at Mehfil today with my hubby & everything was superbe! I was craving pani puri & some chicken biryani, & the expectation was fairly exceeded. Would most definitely go back again & totally recommend it! :)
