Confession time…went to Moti Mahal a couple of times (driven on by Chowhound endorsements) but it never quite clicked with me. If I’m being honest I kinda preferred Mela down the road near Cambridge Circus. By no means the finesse of (e.g.) Trishna or, indeed, Moti Mahal but it is also half the price and still delivering an interesting menu. It occupies that slot when I fancy a curry that’s somewhere between Michelin Starred-Trishna at one end and Tooting Apollo Banana Leaf at the other.
