Cozy Lower East Side Indian spot with standout tandoori and warm hospitality, but inconsistency, upsell charges, and a few serious service complaints mean experiences can vary.
Mughlai Grill delivers reliable North Indian comfort dining with strong food quality in tandoori and biryani, supported by attentive, friendly service. However, inconsistent execution across visits—ranging from perfectly seasoned dishes to overly sweet or oily preparations—prevents a higher grade. The cozy LES setting and loyal following make it a solid neighborhood choice, though occasional hygiene concerns and upsell practices temper the overall experience.
One caveat: Inconsistent dishes: occasional dryness, oversweet sauces, or undercooked vegetables
