★★★☆☆ This place used to be really good, but it seems to have slipped. We went for a buffet on the weekend, the nihari and haleem were average, the tandoori chicken was great. Overally it's just fine. Posted on October 10, 2018

★★★★★ One of the legendary halal restaurants that have been in Atlanta for a long time. Norcross is notable for its large Muslim population, and this place delivers. They're brunch buffet is amazing, with different types of paratha and meats, for pretty cheap. The butter chicken and naan is always good. Posted on December 19, 2016

★★★★★ Alhamdulilah! The best! Posted on May 13, 2016

★★★☆☆ I've tried better! Posted on February 21, 2016

★★★★★ Oh Mughals, how my waist line does not love you! We have been patrons of this establishment for 10 years. We dined at the original location, when the food was good enough to overlook some of the cleanliness issues. When it burned we cried, until we realized they had a temporary location across the street. Now that it is back to it's original spot we find ourselves holding all halal restaurants to the Mughals standard. We go as a party of 3 but always order enough food for 10 so that we can carry home and feast for days. The nan is wonderfully and crispy, the butter chicken is like liquid gold (you do not want to waste a smidgen of the delicious sauce), the chicken charga is excellent. On our recent trip we decided to try the mixed grill for two reasons: 1) we kept watching it be delivered to other tables and were obsessed with the sizzling delicious scents and 2) because it just looked so yummy in the photos. It was - yummy, delicious, amazing! Now we have another dish to add to our list of favorites. My one request of the management would be to add a biryani option that has the flavor of the seasoned rice without the bulk of the add-ins (goat, chicken, vegetables). We enjoy eating the biryani with the saucy dishes, but found that the vegetable biryani was more vegetables than rice. Yes, I know - we could order plain rice, but it is just not the same. Hand-slaughtered chicken is prominently featured in the sign on the door. They seemed to have resolved their cleanliness issues from years ago (thank you fire for making them start from the ground up!). This establishment is well worth the drive if you are any where near the Atlanta area - say Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, the Carolina's. Get in your car now, thank me later!

★★★★★ Mashallah very good . Everything we tasted here was amazing. We had 7 items and this was the opinion of all the members of my family. Very tasty food, good service and good ambience Posted on September 19, 2015

★★☆☆☆ Typical Indian/Pakistani restaurant setup with tables lined up. No coordination or floor plan to show any focus on overall experience. The owner was very friendly and open/joking with patrons. Can be a good thing depending on the jokes. The place was packed. Not sure if it was because of the holiday weekend, but being packed is always a good thing. Customer Service: Not great, but ok. You have to walk up to order and then the food will be served which, again, based on how the restaurant is laid out, it some how does not flow well. Quality: Poor - When people get sick from the food, that is a bad sign. In this case, my son had gotten sick. The only thing he ate that was different from the rest of us was that he added raita. After we had left, we found out that the yogurt has been bad in the past. Meat Authenticity: For those who are indifferent about this... this section is not for you to read. All inquiries are dated. As with everything in life, changes occur and meat sources can also change. So call, be respectful and ask. All meat items are hand slaughtered. Additional verification through locals was done. Pros: Courteous staff. The owner was very accommodating. Food was consistent from the last time we came to this restaurant. Cons: NIhari was subpar. Granted, I am comparing this to Chicago, but it should reach a certain level of authenticity. People getting sick is never a pro. Overall Experience: Poor really due to my son getting sick AND that this was not the first time. The food is ok. I hope the owner reads these comments. I will be contacting the owner.

★★★☆☆ average food, poor customer service. the staff is friendly but they can't handle it when they are busy. and they do get very busy on weekends. we have been to this place 3 times and on all occasions, the food was just ok. nothing special. also, the food taste was different every time (no consistency). the charga was very dry and hard. we had to return it. they gladly replaced it with a new one but it was only slightly better. Nihari was good. on all three occassions, i had trouble digesting the food the next day... probably wont be back! Posted on June 19, 2014

★★★★★ Great food, had the chicken biryani and barbecue platter, was super delicious. Would come back again Posted on November 9, 2013

★★★★★ extremely delicious food. we had a marriage ceremony there. and one of my guests decided to move to Atlanta just because of their food. they are also very particular about zabiha hand slaughter. the only negative i felt was there dealing. they are a little too desi style. Posted on October 31, 2013

★★★★☆ Love there food! Posted on June 7, 2013

★☆☆☆☆ Went here with my parents though the place looks clean the food is not good. We got nihari which was cold and lacked flavor chicken charga which was cold and chicken tikka which was sorta warm but tasteless..The only good thing they have is naan.. Posted on February 21, 2013

NR Its not zabihah halal ; they serve machine cut ; i even asked them this and confirmed it Posted on January 25, 2013

★★★☆☆ The place burnt down in a recent fire. I am not sure if they have opened at a new location. Posted on January 8, 2012

★☆☆☆☆ Extremely awfull service. We had to wait an hour and a half to get served. Food was ok but the wait time is not acceptable Posted on August 15, 2011

★★★★★ Just ate there the other day after breaking fast at the nearby masjid. The food was excellent and for a non-pakistani it has plenty of flavor and spices. I love thee tandoori chicken and naan. It is one of the best in the area if not THE BEST. Posted on August 12, 2011

★★★★★ I honestly don't understand the subpar reviews this place has. I've been coming to this resteraunt for years now and the food has been excellent. Posted on June 26, 2011

★★☆☆☆ i ordered 1 biryani and the container was only half side full...and the raita they gave look spoiled as it had a layer of whitish water on top..i also ordered a curry...the the curry had no meat in it but all the garbage pieces the bucther throws away..like cartilage, bones and fat.....avoid this place much better places in the area Posted on October 29, 2010

★★☆☆☆ Last. 2 times i have eaten here have gotten sick Lookup mughals, kohinoor, sabri on gwinnett county's website. They all have failed initial inspections last couple of years Posted on September 22, 2010

★★★★★ This place is really nice and owner is a nice person. Food is a mix like once I ordered vegetables and it was under cooked but rest of the stuff was really good. This resturant is a very safe bet in case you are searching for halal, clean and good food. Posted on August 20, 2010

★★★☆☆ Things have definitely changed since the last time I have been here. The food is a mix, some things are very good and some things aren't so good. The service is the same but they make you wait a long time to get your food. I would recommend the chicken tikka and chops fry. However the beef sheikh kabob and biryani aren't the same. They also give smaller portions and charge more. Nice family atmosphere to dine in. Posted on August 17, 2009

★★★☆☆ im not a nihari eater and yet loved their nihari as well as the chicken 65. biryani was average, karahi gosht was very spicy but very tasty. as far as i am aware they only do zabiha chicken and meat so alhamdlillah! decor could be updated but food is tasty. Posted on August 17, 2009

★☆☆☆☆ The service is very poor and could see roaches/insects in the kitchen area.....scary!!! Posted on May 12, 2009

★★★★★ Amazing food! Highly recommend the Sunday buffet which is excellent. I have been going here for 5 years and love it. Posted on August 24, 2008

★★★★★ Of coarse the food is spicy it's Pakistan food and owners it is simply out of this world good!! Good Muslim family owned restaurant. It's like back home. It's nothing fancy but if you want good food, at a good price from honest Muslim people then eat here! Posted on February 21, 2008

★★★☆☆ Good Food. But very dirty so cant recommend to anyone Posted on November 22, 2007

★★★★☆ Great Bun-kababs and naan Decent Nihari Not too great kabab rolls. The paratha was too thick and soggy. The Masala soda is also great Its 7up with chat masala in it - like Nando's Portugese Lemonade. The ambience is below average, but the owner Naushad is a very nice brother. Posted on September 1, 2007

★☆☆☆☆ very old niharee never again Posted on July 6, 2007

★★☆☆☆ Im a little skeptical about there meats, yet I have only had there weekend breakfast, the halva poori,chanay and nihari, etc. First the halva, was soo extremely colored, it was a construction glow in the dark orange, which tasted okay but was overly colored. The nihari meat is questionable, the tase no doubt was good, but we were with friends who were very very convinced the meat was cornbeef, which i have no idea what that is. I stick to Zabihah meats only. Its hard to try to find the truth from restaurants, if you ask its Zabihah?? they say yes its Halal, when definitely there is a difference in the two. I think the distributors for this restaurant needs to be verified to make sure there meats are Zabihah. By the way the restaurants decor and cleanliness is very very poor. They could do so much better. Posted on June 22, 2007

★★★★☆ The first time I went here the food was EXTREMELY spicy and didn't enjoy it very much. We had a kabob roll and nihari. I went again a second time (because it was just next door to the place I went to get meat and so it was just convenient) but this time I enjoyed the food. Came back a 3rd time and had halwa and poori breakfast on the weekend. Pretty good. Posted on November 14, 2006

★★☆☆☆ Food is very spicy, just as in many of the Pakistani restuarants. Dont know why they put so much salt and red chilli powder. The quantity and pricing are very good though. Posted on June 3, 2006

★★★☆☆ high on hype & low on substance, too spicy too Posted on February 26, 2006

★★★★☆ Even spicy and hot, I like their NIHARi is the best around. Posted on January 12, 2006

★★★★★ I don't know about the menu items, but the weekend buffet was excellent. The nihari was perfect... I haven't had nihari this good since I last ate at burn's road in karachi. And it WASN'T made from shaan masala's... which made it all the more better. The best desi food I've eaten out in a long time. Posted on December 5, 2005

★★★★★ Highly recommend the Sunday buffet! I drive over and hour to go there because it is an excellent meal for a great price. The buffet dosen't have tons of options, but what they offer is really good! You can look forward to a great Nihari, delicious fresh Naan, good paya, and halva poori. This is a meal worth having...Highly recommend! Posted on December 5, 2005

★★★☆☆ The food was a bit too oily for my taste and the kababs were not that great. The service was okay but Mughals would not be my first choice in Atlanta. Posted on November 25, 2005

★★★★★ THE BEST FOOD EVER. ALSO VERY SPICY. TRY THERE NAAN AND NAHARI. ITS THE BEST! Posted on November 12, 2005

★★★★★ This is the type of food Mom makes. Perhaps not quite as healthy, but still good desi food. The only drawback: Sometimes their food can be very very very spicy, so maybe order some raita. Posted on July 11, 2005

★★☆☆☆ We tried the buffet on Friday which was nothing short of being awful and really 2-3 days old. They did serve us fresh naans which were nice. Posted on December 14, 2004

★★★★★ I like their Bun-Kababs,Paya and off course how can I forget the fresh Naans with Naharee. I will recomend everyone to try their entire menu! owners are very nice and friendly as well. Posted on December 8, 2004

★★★☆☆ If you like to eat extremely hot stuff this is the best place for you. They used to have the best Nihari in town but the standard has been constantly on a decline. More than a few times when I went there, I was served Nihari that was atleast 2 to 3 days old. And some of the other visits.... it was alright. If the food they are serving is not fresh, they will put huge amounts of pepper and green chilli to cover up and the result will be loss of the use of your taste buds for the following day or two.

★★★★★ Greaatt Pakistani foood!!! I love it !Me and my husband go to Atlanta,all the way from Gatlinburg,tn (4 hr. Drive),just to eat at "Mughals Posted on October 27, 2004

★★★☆☆ I tried their sunday brunch and It's ok if u like nehari,paaya. I feel their are very few items, so they shouldn't call it buffet. Posted on June 20, 2004

★★★★★ Excellent, delicious, mouth watering, food, friendly, fast, courteous and very professional service. Best Pakistani food in Atlanta. Try their extraordinary nihari, chops fried, haleem, biryani, korma, bun kabob,chicken boti and fresh hot naans. Quantity and price are very reasonable. Overall, this is the kind of restaurant you don't want to miss while you are in ATL. Posted on February 21, 2004

★★★★☆ Needs to improve decore and come down on price Posted on December 26, 2002

★★★★★ Fast and Friendly service. 100% halal meat. Try thier Nihari and Kabab roll the best. Prices are very reasonable. If you r visiting Atlanta try to stop by at Mughals it's worth the trip. Posted on September 3, 2002

★★★☆☆ Busy, fast service - the menu is limited and the food is about average. Good for a quick hit but not my first choice in the ATL. Posted on November 21, 2001

★★★★★ Good friendly people. Posted on August 3, 2001

★★★★☆ Best Pakistani food in Atlanta. Posted on May 3, 2000
