Madhu's (Southall)

• Dal Makhni is also one of their specialties
• The restaurant is these days effectively a showcase for the cooking of the company
• Tender and with a well balanced spicy marinade (14/20)
• Murgh malai tikka is marinated with spices and cheese to tenderise it before being cooked in the tandoor
• Another good dish was fried cauliflower florets (13/20)
• Naan bread was pleasant but not qiute as supple as I like (12/20) and I preferred the bhatura (13/20)
• The service was back to its usual smooth self this evening
• Offering authentic Punjabi cuisine with a Kenyan twist it is the first new restaurant from the Madhu's brand since the opening of its renowned Indian restaurant in Southall
• Baby calamari with aromatic spiced salmon rillettes
• The celebratory opening was running a little late
• We got to try the Chivas (cocktails) and Champagne accompanied with delicious canapes
• The main meal was held buffet style with dishes from a wide variety from chicken
• It did almost feel like attending a wedding where the hoards and queues for the food were lengthy but we luckily didn't have to wait to long
• My favourites were the wasabi prawns surprisingly
• The restaurant is lit in golden red hues
• With crystal features and the grill even slightly hid behind a glass window is tucked away it remains prominent in recipes on the menu
• S restaurant is an institution in Southall
• S speciality foods are also exclusively available in Harrods&rsquo
• Around 40% of all my reviews are on Indian restaurants i just can't get enough of it
• Depth of flavours and warm friendly service it is no wonder why I'm so addicted to the cuisine and most of Britain
• Believe it or not is only a twelve minute journey from Paddington station
• Once you arrive in Southall you're immediately greeted with the intense smell of what i thought was onion bhajis i got quickly excited
• A mere five minutes later and we arrived at the restaurant we were to be dining at Madhus
• Compared to the rest of the restaurants on the high street Madhus was very smart
• After arriving thought the doors we quickly settled in with a bottle of wine each
• A few starters quickly made their way out to us and first was an absolutely stunning single achari king prawn
• An up close and personal photo with this piece of paneer couldn't be helped
• When paneer is cooked right
• More often than not I'm faced with something resembling rubber
• The paneer was so soft and crumbly but still retained a layer of its yogurt coating which hadn't got lost in the cooking process
• The cream cheese marinade was subtle but in abundance
• Was a deeply rich coloured dish of baby aubergines stuffed with an array of spices and potatoes
• All encompassed in a thick sauce with a final sprinkle of coriander
• If i was faced with such delicious dishes as this
• Containing beautifully soft aubergines and bursting with all that flavour you can easily forget about all the meat
• We had chilly chicken in starters which didn't live up to its name as it was on mild side but still tasted delicious
• Mains we had were dal makhani
• Portion size were generous for the price and all tasted authentic Indian
• Restaurant was not even busy
• The starter was blend over fried dry
• Rather nice restaurant spread across two levels (we were on the ground) with some very good service
• The highlight was the food which is truly worthy of the reputation of the place
• The portions are huge too which meant a bit of leftovers
• The food is nice and tasty and the service and staff are amazing I liked the non veg so for me it's was a plus point
• Pilaf Rice 'Thin rice grains with some tough green peas'
• Madhu's (Southall) is very central in Southall
• Best choice was Bhindi masala
• All vegetarian choices were really good
• So make sure you are not allergic
