Moti Mahal was a modern Indian restaurant in [[Locale Covent Garden|Covent Garden]]/[[Locale Holborn|Holborn]]. [https://twitter.com/MotiMahal59/status/699971910474579968 According to its Twitter account], it closed down in February 2016. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Modern Indian restaurant in [[Locale Covent Garden|Covent Garden]]/[[Locale Holborn|Holborn]]. They also offer cookery classes. [[Kake]], [[Bob]], [[DrHyde]], etc visited on a Wednesday evening in May 2008. We'd booked, and this was a good thing, as the place seemed fairly busy. We started with a round of cocktails at £8 apiece; [[Kake]] rather liked the Tamarind Martini, which had just enough spice to be warming. After ordering, we got a little freebie amuse-bouche along with a shooter of strawberry lassi <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2495513784/in/set-72157605073832862/ photo]</small>, and we also got a palate cleanser of red wine and pear sorbet in between starters and mains. [[Kake]] started with seared scallops (£14) <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2494759477/in/set-72157605073832862/ photo]</small>; tasty enough. Main course was pan-fried baby mullet (£15.50) <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2494815271/in/set-72157605073832862/ photo]</small>; again quite tasty, but unfortunately rather oversalted; although it started out fine, by the time I was halfway through I was really noticing the excess of salt (and I <i>like</i> salty food). I did mention this to the staff, but another member of our party had a stronger complaint so I decided not to press the issue. We got some side dishes to share — we started to order these individually but our waiter suggested that we let him bring an appropriate quantity of side dishes in order to avoid ending up with too much; this turned out to work fairly well. Kake was quite keen on the dal makhani (black lentils in cream; £4). We ended up paying about £70/head, though we did drink quite a lot of booze. [[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd like to come back and give this place another go. As of May 2008, they also do a lunch special of two courses for £10, which seems like a good way to try it out.
