Dishes mentioned
Leopard Roll
The leopard roll is essentially a lamb seekh kebab wrapped in lovely bread and then grilled. It was never going to be rubbish — simple but delicious with a great char.
Mixed Grill
The mixed grill has a variety of meats: prawns are fat and juicy, lamb chops have a bit of sweetness and are medium rare, chicken tikka is great, tandoori chicken is good. Everything is well-spiced and cooked perfectly.
Butter Chicken
The butter chicken is famous — you can smell the butter from it. The sauce is incredibly creamy, the chicken is soft, and dipping naan in it is simply the best thing in the world. It made me smile loads.
Lamb Biryani
The lamb biryani is sensational. The lamb is pull-apart tender, not in big chunks, and the rice is perfectly spiced. It's one of my favourite things.
Black Daal
The black daal is Mughli's take on a classic — deep, rich flavours that work beautifully with the other dishes.
