Lunch time Cheap Eats,https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=glqoyTDY5-4viAPxaavIcQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Shahi Mahal Restaurant is a restaurant & banquet hall, located in the City of Lakewood & bordering Hawaiian Gardens. When I happened to become aware of their Chicken Lunch Specials, I knew I had to swing by for some spicy eats.Lunch Specials-https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=V8M0RRW8dkrFSyK4hScpIg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RAChicken Behari Lunch Special-https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/shahi-mahal-restaurant-lakewood?select=bNmJf7QNAE_t9ZekL4w5vg Taking awhile to come out, the Chicken Behari Lunch Special provided an ample amount of food. The chicken was moist & tender, the accompanying sauce spicy (yet not in a mouth numbing way), and the rice & salad rounded out a solid & inexpensive plate of food. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HlTaJBz9cCCdsHLzTutaqA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was okay. Being the sole customer dining in & one person picking up takeout, the Chicken Behari Lunch Special took a little longer than I believe it should have. Of course, once on the table, the food was satisfying. A good amount of seating inside the restaurant itself, the large banquet hall has a tremendous amount of space. Iftars during Ramadan are held in there, to break the fast of those that observe it. Parking is via a private lot. Cheap, filling & a flavorful lunch, Shahi Mahal's Chicken Lunch Specials are a deal amid a sea of inflated prices. I enjoyed their chicken behari & am anticipating trying the rest of their lunch specials.

Don't book them for any occasion!!! I got married in there on December 27th, and had the most horrible experience ever. They force people to get 100 people and if you don't have 100 people come in even after inviting 115 people, they serve little to no food to the guest. My guests had to wait for 10 minutes on the line because they ran out of food, when they said at the time of booking that they will keep refilling food for the guests, and we won't have to worry about food getting run out of. They charged us for 125 people even when we didn't even have more than 65 people there. Food is not anything special, it's the same taste you get from any other indian restaurant. Just because my husband's friend recommended this, we went in and tried it out, and had the worst service ever.

Had the korma on my first visit and it was tasty but not amazing. My friend had a meat dish that she reported was flavorless. I returned with another friend who ordered the korma and again, it was solid in that the veggies tasted cooked in-house and the curry was tasty enough. I tried the tikka masala and it tasted off...like a little sour. Sure enough, I got sick later. I'm not prone to food sickness. I'd taken the leftover curry home as I couldn't eat a lot of it given the bad taste and had another friend taste it who confirmed that it was bad. Won't be returning.

10/10, 20/10, 100/10. This is some of the best Indian food that if you have a love for it can lead you to love it even more. The service is great! Amazing food that dosnt get better then indIndian food gets. It's very tucked away in the back corner of the strip. It is very comfortable by the welcoming from our server. I had the Chicken Vindualu witch was one of the best Indian had ever had in my life and let me tell you I have had lots of chicken Vindualu in my life. If your looking for a cheaper option this is great option for you as well.

Went back a second time and tried the Chicken Behrani off the lunch special menu. Once again, the food was bomb and the amazing service is always such an unexpected surprise but very much appreciated. Their lunch menu is $12.99 and has a bunch of other options to check out. I will definitely be stopping by whenever I am in the area for work.

This was my third visit and I'm never disappointed. Each dish is always fresh and delicious. Presentation is wonderful and the staff is very kind, very attentive. My daughter and I shared jeera rice, chicken makhani, chicken Karahi, garlic naan, and veg samosa. The atmosphere is very quiet and comfy. Their makhani sauce is so creamy it feels like dessert. Note for all you heat lovers out there: Order it Pakistani or Indian spicy because I asked for the spiciest and was a little bummed I didn't burn my mouth off. I told Moeen (manager/owner) "I'm Mexican, I can take it!"

Delicious food, nice environment and courteous people. All items were good but Nihari was the best in my experience in all of California, it was amazing with plain naan and garlic naan.

I was looking forward to trying this spot out but I am really disgusted by the actions of one of their workers and will NOT be coming back. My little sister paid for take out with her debit card & when she got home, she saw a friend request on instagram from the man working the counter. She did NOT give him her personal name, especially her name. That means that he wrote her name down just to search her on instagram. He could've written her card information down, WHO KNOWS?! It's CREEPY AND UNPROFESSIONAL. My little sister feels paranoid and scared to go out by herself now. Mavon Ferns you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!
