“ So wonderful!!! Food was incredible and the service was so lovely. Atmosphere was good. ”

“ I am so excited I found this place and will definitely be back. I ordered Sizzling Tikka Chicken, NAan, and a lamb gyro plate. Don't let a few reviews turn you off from trying an awesome spot right by the casinos. ”

“ Tonight I had the pleasure of dinning at what may be one the best Indian restaurants I've ever been too if not the best! I want to start by saying the staff are extremely friendly here and really know how to take care of their customers. The person serving us had amazing customer service. I forgot to catch his name but he really went out of his way to ensure that we had our best experience at Mehfil Indian Restaurant. He suggested the Karahi so we ordered it with lamb which was amazing!!! We also ordered their chicken tika masala which was the best I've ever tried! The food came out with amazing presentation, had a perfect level of heat and was also extremely tender. They will also Adjust the heat to your liking so if spice is or isn't your thing they have you covered on that too. All in all this place was incredible and if you're in tavira and are craving some authentic Indian food this is the spot you need to try! Sadly I'm only here for a week but I definitely am not leaving without stopping by there again. The experience was amazing. ”

“ Food here was great. Came here while staying in AC for a day with the family. My parents were very pleased. The chili naan was carry delicious and something different. We ordered Goat Korma, Makanie, Channa, fish and potato spinach and a kabab roll. All the items were exceptionally tasty. Service was also very well. ”

“ Good goat biryani, very fresh but took long time to get. They need some background music because you can hear everyone as it's a small restaurant. ”

“ If you are looking for great food that tastes like your auntie made it try this place, very hospitable staff as well. ”

“ I've had mostly takeout food from this place over the years. The business is family ran, and for the most part, it's a pretty decent place but has its setbacks according to how you interpret it. First, let's get the set backs out of the way. Before this place was named Mehfil, it was called Punjab Palace. I don't presume to know why the name was changed. My guess, usually when any brand/ business does a renaming, it's because of negative association. Example - Comcast to Xfinity. I've mostly had takeout from this place since they were Punjab Palace and for the most part, it's been good. Now, dining in the physical restaurant location is a different experience. As soon as you come into the restaurant, you see the side view of a beverage cooler and to the left you see the pay counter. Across from the pay counter, there are small sections for the buffet they have during the daytime (I went at night time, so they were empty). Now, the seating is not great, allow me to explain. It's a table style place with cushion bottom chairs, no booths. The tables are wobbly, extremely dated as evident from the faded colors on the actual table and they feel sticky for reasons I don't know why (possibly they don't get cleaned enough or they do and the coating is gone). The chairs are fine, they aren't that comfortable, the cushion gets the job done. The ambiance is completely dull; you don't have any decorations - the walls are completely white and the windows are covered with semi-transparent dated cloth curtains. In the background you have music playing and they're all wall fans at a few locations. The service is fine, they are nice people and the wait time is reasonable. Although I can't really comment into that much detail regarding the wait time because my party was the only one there; shortly after, a family came as well. A major point to note, it shows the type of vibes a place has when it's empty on a Friday night in Atlantic City. Lastly, it's a pet peeve of mine. As a restaurant, DO NOT USE paper plates nor plastic utensils/cups. It is cheap and tacky. As a restaurant, your not charging cheap prices for the food, I'd expect it should reflect in the experience and the plates, utensils, and cups are definitely part of the experience. Lets talk about the food. In general the food was pretty good and that's why I gave it a generous 4/5. My party ordered naan, chicken sizzling tikka dish, and seekh kebabs. A very basic order but full with flavor. The naans were good, not heavy with raw rough inside sometimes but made well with sesame seeds and not burnt. The chicken sizzling tikka came on a small iron skillet (as in many restaurants for mainly flare); the tikkas had raw onions, lemons and some parsley as garnish. They were tasty and cooked thoroughly. The seekh kebabs as had the same garnish and were extremely flavorful and spicy. Usually kebabs from this place are not this spicy but personally I don't mind the extra kick. The kebabs were not stale, they didn't look precooked (although the ends of almost all the kebabs were heavily burned) and reheated as is the case in a lot of restaurants but hard to prove. Some places do prep work that involves forming the kebab and cooking it to an almost half done state and then freezing it; not saying that this place does not but I can understand if they did because as a person who makes the same kebabs at home on the seekhs - they take time. Hence making it on a larger scale would possibly require the chef to do some sort of prepping. Overall, I really liked the food because at the end of the day, I'd take the taste over the ambience but the plastic utensils/ cups and paper plates are a huge turn off. It just feels very juvenile, cheap, and and tacky. My suggestion (which is from an avid foodie) is to do a massive update to the place. I will definitely recommend checking the place for the food, not so much for the experience. ”

“ I stayed at the Hard Rock and this restaurant was right across the street. The door was boarded so we didn't know if it was open or not. The interior is cozy and the tables are kind of old. The food really blew my friend and I away though! We ordered the medium spice and it was still super spicy and delicious. The garlic chili naan was delectable. My friend said this was the best Indian food she's ever had! ”
