Food 3

Chicken tikka masala Net −1

“I ordered Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala — both dishes were a total letdown. The chicken quality was extremely poor, felt like the cheapest meat available in the market. It was dry, rubbery, and tasted like it had been left out in the sun for hours. Absolutely no tenderness or juiciness you'd expect from a decent tandoori or tikka dish.”
Kheema paratha Net −1

“Here for - Kheema Paratha. I had my medical checkup in the morning in a clinic around this place, had fasted and was super hungry, Ordered for Kheema Paratha, the waiter said he will get the kheems seperate and the Paratha seperate, had to reuest him to get a Kheema stuffed Paratha, thankfully he obliged. Was tooo greasy and heavy. That was my brunch actually.”

The Bottom Line

Shahi Mughal is a casual Pakistani restaurant in Al Satwa with a menu that stretches into Indian, Mughlai and Chinese food. For a first visit, the most useful starting points are the Chicken Seekh Kebab, Chicken Mix Grill, Chicken Handi or Peshawari Chicken. The tandoor roti gets especially specific praise: one reviewer found it soft, fluffy and excellent with kebab gravy.

There is indoor and outdoor seating, including a dedicated family floor. The outside area has a fan and cooler, and several reviewers value the restaurant’s reported 24/7 opening for meals at unusual hours. Portions are often described as generous and prices as budget-friendly, making it suited to an informal meal rather than a polished occasion.

The experience is not completely consistent. Some customers report delicious, hot food and quick, welcoming service, while others describe stale food, poor-quality chicken or chapati that seemed gritty. Delivery is a particular weak spot, with one order taking more than 90 minutes; dining in was reported to take about 10 minutes.

Check the total carefully, including VAT and small charges, and confirm delivery terms before ordering roti alone.
