Majjo's

Authentic Flavors, Friendly Faces Await!

Recently, I found myself wandering into Majjo's, a local spot that's become the stuff of legend and a few mild debates among curry enthusiasts. Nestled unassumingly on a lively street, Majjo's draws you in with the tantalizing aroma of its famed samosas wafting through the door—trust me, these little parcels are reason enough to pay a visit. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a team that radiates genuine warmth and loves what they do—a quality sometimes as rare as a perfectly crisp poppadom. They have honed their spicy craft over two decades, maintaining a delightful collection of both beloved classics and adventurously creative dishes like the particularly memorable lamb with beetroot, which left me slightly breathless, but in a good way.

While navigating Majjo's tempting menu, there's the related peril of excessively loading your table with an array of gorgeous veggie delights, decadent curries, and moreish breads. It's as though temptation itself leaps out at you from every corner of the menu or, perhaps, that's just my feeble willpower caving in, again. Admittedly, I found some non-essential elements like gratuitous oil seating comfortably in certain offerings—a somewhat minor indignation even if it does leave your curry looking like it's been dipped in a swimming pool. Yet, it’s the variety and zeal in the other inventive dishes that might indeed earn them a salute rather than a rap on the knuckles. For those who prize freshness above all, Majjo's clever cold takeaway option ensures meals taste garden-fresh once reheated at home, retaining its essence remarkably well. No question, Majjo's maintains its charming place in both the community and menus of regulars who fondly acknowledge their satisfaction every visit. — Milo Tastemaker
