MotiMahal Restaurant - Mississauga - (Near Mississauga, ON)

4 /5 Harsh Harsh: recently visited Moti Mahal and had a pleasant overall experience. One of the biggest advantages of this location is the ample parking space available, and the fact that it’s completely free makes it very convenient for guests. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and has a comfortable dining atmosphere. The staff was courteous and service was smooth. I ordered the Chole Bhature. The bhature were served hot, fresh, and perfectly puffed, which I really enjoyed. However, I felt the chole were slightly missing that rich, authentic depth of flavor and spice that typically makes this dish stand out. The chutney served on the side was decent, but could have been a bit more vibrant in taste. Overall, the food quality is good and the experience was satisfying. With a little improvement in flavor balance for certain dishes, this place could easily be a 5-star spot. I would definitely visit again to try more items from the menu.

5 /5 Dhawan Aakash (Kash): My family and I went to Moti Mahal the other night for dinner, and it was a great experience overall. We had a lot of fun, and the service was amazing—very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant was very nice and clean, which made the experience even better. The food was excellent. One of my favourites was the raj kachori—it was absolutely delicious. We also had channa bhatura, which my wife loved. The gobi paratha was very tasty as well. We ordered shahi paneer with butter naan, and the naans were perfect—soft and fresh. For drinks, the mojito was refreshing, and the strawberry mojito was really good too. Overall, it was a five-star experience with great food and excellent service. I would definitely recommend Moti Mahal.

5 /5 siddharth khosla: Had a great experience today! The Chole Bhatura was amazing — soft, fluffy bhatura with perfectly spiced chole. The Raj Kachori was super crispy and filled with delicious flavors, with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy chutneys. The Rabri Falooda was the perfect dessert to finish the meal — creamy, rich, and refreshing. Special mention to our attendant Chinky, who was very friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better with great service. Definitely coming back again!

2 /5 Vivek Sharma: Visited Moti Mahal for the first time after reading several positive reviews, but my experience was completely opposite. We ordered rice and butter chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was very hard and difficult to chew, which made it seem like it was not freshly cooked. Overall, the food quality was average at best and did not meet expectations, especially for the price. There are many other restaurants in the same price range that offer much better quality food. The restaurant itself also needs a serious makeover. The washroom was extremely filthy—easily one of the worst restaurant washrooms I have ever seen. I have added pictures to support my feedback. Parking was another inconvenience. Even though there is a large free parking area outside, it was still difficult to find a spot. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. With the same money, much better food and service can be found elsewhere. I will definitely not be visiting again.

2 /5 Dhiman Manjeet (MANN): Recently visited Moti Mahal Restaurant and tried their Chole Bhature, Aloo Parantha, Chilli Pakoda, and Tea. I had decent expectations going in, but unfortunately, the overall experience turned out to be disappointing. Starting with the Chole Bhature, the presentation looked fine at first glance, and the bhature were soft and properly fried. However, the biggest issue was the chole itself. The gravy lacked depth, richness, and proper seasoning. It felt very bland — almost as if basic spices were missing. There was barely any noticeable salt or masala, and the flavor didn’t have that authentic Punjabi kick you expect from this dish. Without strong, flavorful chole, the entire dish fell flat. Additionally, the bhature were extremely oily. There was so much oil that it was clearly visible pooling on the plate (as seen in the photo). Instead of feeling light and fluffy, they felt heavy and greasy, which made the dish even harder to enjoy. The Aloo Parantha was another letdown. Texture-wise, it was cooked fine — slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside — but the stuffing lacked proper seasoning. It tasted plain and under-spiced, missing salt and that bold masala flavor that makes a good parantha satisfying. It didn’t feel fresh or flavorful, and because of the bland taste, we couldn’t even finish it. The only item that was somewhat enjoyable was the Chilli Pakoda. It had a decent crisp texture and a better balance of flavor compared to the other dishes. While it wasn’t outstanding, it was definitely the best among everything we tried. The biggest disappointment of the visit was the tea. It tasted like it was machine-made rather than freshly brewed. The flavor was quite bitter and lacked the richness and aroma that good chai should have. Instead of being comforting and flavorful, it felt overly processed and not enjoyable at all. Overall, the main issue with the food was the lack of seasoning and spices. Most dishes felt underwhelming and bland, especially missing salt and proper masala balance. Combined with the excessive oil in the bhature and the poor tea quality, the experience was disappointing. We ended up leaving almost half of the food uneaten, which is never a good sign. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet expectations. With better seasoning, improved flavor balance, less oil in preparation, and fresher tea, the experience could be much better. As of now, it was not a satisfying visit for me.
