Mehfil Indian Restaurant

They drowned our food in white sauce when I asked for it on the side. The quality of the chicken and lamb is very cheap you can tell from the texture and taste. Spent $42, what a waste! I’m coming back to say, that you don’t know what you’re talking about. I ordered on DoorDash , I ordered two platters! You got the wrong person. At the end of the day, the food was disgusting! Get better quality food!

I recently dined at Mehfil Restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The food was incredibly delicious and had that authentic, comforting feel of homemade cooking. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, just like something prepared in a family kitchen. The staff were outstanding—friendly, professional, and super efficient. A special shoutout to Ahmed, who was exceptionally welcoming and took the time to answer all our questions about the Punjabi chicken biryani and other dishes. His recommendations made our experience even better. Overall, the recipes here are top-notch, and it’s clear this is a family-run spot that pours heart into every meal. We’ll definitely be back soon—highly recommend Mehfil for anyone craving tasty, home-style cuisine! Weekend buffet a mist try.

The restaurant overall was quite good, and I appreciated the ambiance and service. However, I was very disappointed with the mutton biryani. It was mostly bones with barely any meat, which made it feel more like a “bones biryani” than a proper mutton biryani. At $20, it simply didn’t feel like a good value. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality of the dish accordingly.

One of the most disappointing dining experiences near Atlantic City. I would strongly advise fellow Indians — especially those from Hyderabad — to avoid this place. It doesn’t matter if the restaurant has been around for 25 or even 50 years; if the taste isn’t right, we simply won’t return. We ordered several dishes including Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Biryani, Goat Biryani, Vegetable Biryani, and Chana Masala. Unfortunately, none of them lived up to even basic expectations. The Chicken Biryani tasted like plain turmeric (haldi) rice — lacking the aroma, flavor, and richness you'd expect from authentic Hyderabadi biryani. The Goat Biryani was dry and bland, and the Chicken Tikka Biryani was equally underwhelming. Even the vegetarian options were disappointing — the Chana Masala lacked

The address is listed as Pacific Ave but the restaurant is on Virginia Ave. The chicken Karahi was 60% bones and 40% meat. The taste was bland with cheap curry powder flavor. The restaurant was empty at 7:45 pm. Possibly one of worst tasting dishes.
