Mannu's Kitchen Indian Cuisine Maitland

Awesome food. Try the fish. Will be going back. Off street parking, added bonus for picking up take away.

Hands down the best butter chicken I’ve had in Australia. So flavourful, not too sweet, an awesome nuttiness to the sauce and it just hits the spot. The onion bhaji are incredible, crunchy, salty and so moreish. The naan is delicious. Do yourself a favour and get dinner from here-you won’t regret it. I get a Mannu’s craving at least once a week. Also had plenty of options suitable for my Coeliac mum.

I have had food from here many times, but have never eaten in. The food was fantastic. Faultless!The staff were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely go back...Try the Chicken Jalfrezi

We had dinner in the restaurant last night (Tuesday), we were the only ones dining and our experience was unfortunately extremely disappointing.NEGATIVES- The customer service was appalling!! We were greeted on arrival with a lack of professionalism, lacking of friendly, warmth and welcoming mannerisms. I understand that we were the only ones dining, we don’t expect to be waited hand and foot, however it was disappointing.- They need to really improve there hygiene practices and standards, our table had cutlery that hadn’t been washed properly let alone polished, the water glasses on the table had greasy fingerprints all over them and scaling from not being washed properly and again, not polished. As I looked around, the table next to us had unclean and unpolished cutlery.Attention to details is evidently not on the top of priorities.You don’t need anything fancy to polish cutlery once it’s been washed, boiling hot water in a clean bucket with a dash of vinegar, rub with clean cloth works a charm!Polishing glassware immediately after going through the wash will achieve that sparkling finish.- They clearly do not have a process in place to ensure meals come out together, everything came in dribs and drabs, we had to remind the waitress for the raita when everything was almost finished.- The lighting felt a little too dim, a little brighter so you can see the food your eating, felt like we were eating under candlelight.- Closing the door on the kitchen would be a bonus, no one wants to hear what is going on in the kitchen.- It was a little more on the expensive side compared to other Indian restaurants. $90+ for 3 x curries, large rice, 4 x garlic naan, raita, mango lassi and can coke. Better off travelling into Newcastle for a better experience and a little better on the pocket and bigger servings.POSITIVES- the food was full of flavourOVERALLWe wouldn’t dine in again, unless they were to improve their hygiene practices and standards and of course their customer service standards.Probably wouldn’t be enticed enough for takeaway option either.

Absolutely amazing food, had it several times, meat is always good quality. Price is reasonable. Would gladly recommend to anyone in the area.

The best Indian around maitland/Newcastle, don’t be fooled by the looks; the most authentic & tasteful foods, best staff so polite & genuineWe are regulars here, & will keep coming back, amazing !!-Jordan & Sam

It's holiday time and although only 2 tables filled in we waited 1.5 hours until our first dish arrived, honestly we were absolutely hungry and kids and me inc wife smashed it before our NAAN Bread arrived finally after 30 mins later, although we requested all food at same time. One mistake.Second food arrived LAMB Briyani , and PANEER tikka masala, at least this time NAAN came with PANEER so that we could have something to scrape off PANEER, which didn't taste as we expected, we tried lot's of Indain cusines and me myself being Chef for 7 Yrs, I Could not find it authentic and Tasteless, could have been better,Finally came to LAMB Briyani, which we left in the table as it came to us. With fraustrated face waiting for 1.5 hours for our food to arrive and as soon as I put my LAMB in mouth I couldn't chew and swallow it as it taste nothing close to LAMB, I have never tasted beef except once as i has to because of my ptoffessional career, but this wasn't lamb at all, when I made my face when I put this piece in mouth, my wife didn't even pick-up the spoon to taste it.Waitress was kind to as if we wanted to take home as we 2 people with 2 kids had been charged $68.31 . Just be careful while ordering here as well as they have 2 different prices here. We saw price given in table menu came out to be $57 but while payment was deducted we were charged 68.31.With empty stomach and fraustrated faces we returns back to check out price as it came out to be more than $10 difference, then different lady came out with new paper menu price which was updated price, I didn't say a word and came out even more fraustrated from there.So guys Moral of the story is , DO NOT GO THERE NOT EVEN BY MISTAKE LIKE US.THERE'S STILL LOT TO MENTION, CLEANLINESS, HYGIENE, AND TOILET, FULL OF DEAD FLIES AND SPIDER WEBS, DIRTY FLOOR ETC...ETC.

I am a Menulog delivery driver and frequent this restaurant often. Each time I have seen cockroaches running along the main food ordering table, running all over the floors. The last time I was there I saw AT LEAST 10 cockroaches on the floor in the main dining area in under 10 minutes. A mixture of german cockroaches and normal cockroaches. One crawled onto my shoe while I was waiting for food.If the main dining area is like that, you can only imagine what the food prep area is like. I’m not usually horrified by things like this, but the amount of cockroaches in this establishment is disgusting. Such a shame considering I loved their Indian dishes before I found this out.Stay away. You’ve been warned.

The place was so good .staff was so nice .they care for your feedback. the food was not that much spicy which is good . I'll give 8/10 for FOOD.. and for the service n Atmosphere I'll rate 9/10
