Amazing food! Came here with a group of five and everyone enjoyed it. Personally, the fish pakoras were my favourite, being fresh and super tender. The samosas were juicy, the garlic naan was spot on, and the kabobs were fire as well. Definetely would reccomend the Mango Lassi 😀 If you’re in the Hamilton area, this is definitely one of those hidden gems you need to try. Portions were generous too.

Been a customer since around 2011, and can vouch for how amazing the food is, even to this day. ☺
The owner passed away. He was an amazing guy. One of the kindest people out there. I feel honoured to have been one of his customers.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raajioon.

Update Jan 2,2026
Spoke to the manager and they apologized and said this isn’t their regular quality. This time what I got was exactly how I used to remember it! Thanks guys! Keep up the good work! If you look at the second picture, the portion of protein is a lot!!!
Update today Dec 27,
spent $116 on a meal, first thing I noticed was my fish Biryani was not fish and it was chicken instead which I was fine after they agreed to give me a credit for 50% off next time. However the quality has gone down vs 7 years ago. I literally doubted 5 pieces of chicken. Extremely disappointed, if this is the quality they will give out, I won’t be ordering again.
If you see the picture it’s all rice and 5 small pieces of chicken!
Used to order from here often. But recently the quality has been lacking. Ordered fish biryani today and counted only 6 pieces of fish. If you love your rice it’ll be very filling for 1 person since it’s all rice and hardly any fish. Would have given a 4 if they gave as much as before. None the less, a good eat if you are craving for Indian food.
Update: bought the fish biryani again this evening, And it was the bomb! They seem to have read my review before and Increased the portion of fish. 5 stars for sure!

Had heard a lot about the Lahori fish…the restaurant is not really a place for dining in, but good for takeout.
Since I am a pretty good cook myself, I did reverse engineer the fish. And it’s OK.
They were busy though

If you’re on the hunt for an authentic and mouthwatering Pakistani/Indian food, look no further than Mahal Restaurant. This family-owned gem truly shines with its exceptional dishes, particularly the Lahore fish, biryani, and curries.
The Lahore fish is a standout, offering a perfectly crispy and fresh bite that bursts with flavor in every mouthful. It’s a dish that transports you straight to the bustling streets of Lahore, with its rich spices and impeccable preparation. Equally impressive is their biryani, a fragrant medley of tender rice, aromatic spices, and succulent meat that leaves you craving more. The curries at Mahal are nothing short of amazing, each one simmered to perfection, marrying bold flavors with a creamy, indulgent texture.
What makes Mahal even more special is knowing that it’s family-owned. There’s something heartwarming about seeing a family business thrive, and you can taste the passion and love they put into every dish. The warm, welcoming atmosphere is just the cherry on top, making every visit to Mahal a truly delightful experience.
In short, Mahal Restaurant is a culinary treasure that combines incredible taste, freshness, and a personal touch. It’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates outstanding food and the charm of family-owned establishments.

I’ve never had a butter chicken taste like pure maple syrup, but here we are. It was so sweet. The website says its cooked to Canadian tastes…i honestly wish i was kidding. It was inedible. Veg samosas are half empty (see picture) and mostly tasteless. 1 star for the Naan I guess? I will not return, save your money and go elsewhere.

I had the Lahori fish with a cup of tea. In a word – wow! Crispy on the outside tender kn the inside with a twist of lemon and couple of sliced green chilles for kick along with tangy dipping sauces. Decadent Onion rings and fries on the stip. And the tea was proper Desi tea…worth the trip to Hamilton! I’ll be back!

The fried fish is amazing its the only thing we order here – a great value for money. Today our fries weren’t fresh, but the real concern is that none of the kitchen staff wears a mask!! We are still in a pandemic and this is a hygiene issue. I hope the staff reads this and addresses it.

I do not recommend any one to eat food there unless you really want to get sick. They use the frozen cheap food. Over cooked fish over cooked fries, used very old disgusting oil. Their service is horrible no napkins, no hi or bye and restaurant table was not clean at all. For 3 dinner paid around $100. We got really got sick and threw up.
