So pleased with the food. The eggplant masala was a hit. Thought the butter chicken was more on the sweet side, but still really good. This was the first time we went so we went for the popular options but well worth it. Would go again.
Fantastic food overall. Curry was flavoursome and every bite was a delight. The other highlight was their Roti, fluffy and freshly made, best we've had so far. We ordered a rice dish each and substituted the rice for Roti, best decision yet.
My favourite restaurant, period. I have been frequenting Riks Mahal for several years since they first opened and have enjoyed consistently great food and service at a great price.
The decor is nothing to write home about, but i don't care...i go for the food and have never been disappointed.
My Favourites include: Chicken 65, Chicken Curry, Mutton Curry, Beef Rendang, Dahl Curry, Roti, Hydrabadi Byriani, and my kids love the Butter Chicken. I have tried this type of food all over the world, and we are lucky to have this little gem a stones throw from home.
Local restaurants that are overpriced and underwhelming need to pay attention to Riks Mahal, a quality player in the industry !!!!
Amazing eggplant curry. Service can sometimes be a little slow during peak times but that is a clear indication of the quality of food that this outlet offers. You just have to keep coming back.
Not many people in the area would actually realize that this place sells THE MOST LEGIT Indian/Sri Lankan curry around!! Sooooo good. Fast food style, but sooooooo good. Seriously. Get on it, people. P/S: Mutton Curry is the way to go. Always!!
This place is actually so good! Amazing authentic & cheap Indian food. The butter chicken is amazing, as well as the tandoori chicken & dahl. Would defs recommend if you’re in the area. The staff are super friendly as well
FAST Food Review: Riks Mahal in Narre Warren
FOOD - 2 Meat + 1 Vege Combo is the way to go - Chicken 65, Mutton Curry & Eggplant Masala. Also love the Roti Tissue, Ghee Dosa, Masala Thosai & Ice Teh Tarik or Mango Lassi to coolly complement your spicy hit. - 4.5/5
AMBIENCE - Standard smells good, tastes good over looks good atmosphere. - 3.5/5
SERVICE - Joseph the Boss is super friendly along with his very courteous team. Food always served in a very timely manner. - 4.5/5
TOTAL - A personal favourite that I eat in, take away or order for catering parties. - 12.5/15
TOP TIP: Order a few set meals to share so you can enjoy more dishes including Fish Curry, Beef Rendang, Butter Chicken & Chicken Curry
One of the best Indian restaurants in the South Eastern suburbs. I’ve tried pretty much all the different curries and let me assure you, all of them were a 10/10. As they say “Don’t judge a book by it cover” likewise don’t judge this place by its ambiance. If you’re not comfortable with the dining area I’d recommend go for take away and get a rich flavour of Indian spices. Quality, quantity and price would want you to come here over and over again. Highly recommended.
Rahul Mc the food here is amaze balls😊
Been back too many times and love the food and variety . Really cheap and worth the money .
My favourite is the dry mutton 💕
Popped by the other week after reading some great reviews. The homemade curries were amazing the meat super soft and the curry full of flavour. The serving size was huge for what you pay for so it's great value for money. The interior/ ambience is shabby looking but I don't really mind as long as the foods good.
Their ambience and taste gave us back those nostalgic memories of South Indian food streets and food courts. We are great fans of Kothu roti. Fruit salad ice cream is hard to miss, my kids absolutely love it. We did not enjoy their Biriyani much though. (May be due to personal preferences). The owner and staff are really well- behaved and polite, always with a smile on their face. The owner is very down to earth and extremely non-judgmental. He is so humble and simple that we always thought he was one of the service staff.
Very much a hidden gem! Fresh, tasty and good value. This is a place to go where you want great food without the frills. It is worth a try, you won't be disappointed.
