JMK MAHAL Restaurant in Maple Ridge, British Columbia offers a taste of India with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Established in 2008, this family-friendly restaurant serves dine-in and delivery options.
Buffet is well priced. Lot of their menu item’s closely resemble how they’re served in India. Which is good for those seeking authentic taste. Choley bhature and samosas are my go to. Tandoori chicken could be better but not bad.
Ordered delivery from here for the first time today. I called just to check on the order. The employee who answered the call was very kind and gave me an ETA for the delivery. My order arrived perfectly. The delivery employee was nice and friendly. Food is extremely delicious and flavourful. The dishes were not cold and the naan and rice not stale. Fantastic food and awesome service. Highly recommend.
Great restaurant! The service was excellent, and the staff was super friendly. The food was tasty, and the people were really nice. You can tell this place is run by genuinely good people who care about their customers. Highly recommend!
Always the best. We drive by dozens of Indian restaurants to get to this gem. They have now added a mango cheesecake for dessert that was the bomb!
Went for dinner, it was good 👍. Food was decent i like onion naan(must try). Chole bature were also good in taste. Service is little bit slow. Overall my experience was good. If you’re looking buffet for a lunch in good price then do visit. Parking is available and free.
The food is amazing. We had lamb kabob, Amritsari kulcha and butter chicken. It was amazing. The set ice was great too. Very friendly and very welcoming we will surely go back there.
Happy to see this place spring back after a fire during covid if I recall correctly... Went for the Dinner Buffet. They have a lunch buffet every day I think. The dinner buffet is Friday through Sunday. Tasty food, seemed like good quality ingredients. With a nice variety of dishes. There was a lot of available seating and the place wasn't busy (2 other tables in use), which is why the service was kinda shockingly bad (there was a high staff to guest ratio). I think it might have been just bad luck, or maybe just the person responsible doesn't understand buffet service expectations. In my opinion, even at a buffet service is important. Plus it's an opportunity for the staff to earn tips to share with the kitchen etc. It would take much effort to really elevate the experience. Clearing the plates, bringing more water, asking if I wanted anything else to drink... I just didn't feel the care you want to feel eating out somewhere. Hope the owner / manager sees. Will come back sometime and try again to see if it's a consistent issue.
I recently visited JMK Mahal Restaurant for their lunch buffet, and it was an okay experience. The buffet offered a decent number of dishes, but the quality was hit-or-miss. For appetizers, there were only two options - tandoori chicken and samosa. Unfortunately, the tandoori chicken was dry and not impressive. The main course had two chicken items, and the butter chicken was the highlight - it was flavorful and enjoyable. The vegetable mix was just average, and the rice was good. However, I was disappointed that they ran out of basic salad items like onions and cucumbers by 1:30 PM, and they didn't replenish them even after we asked. This was a letdown, especially since the buffet was supposed to be available until 3 PM. Overall, it was an okay experience, and the price of $15 per person was reasonable. However, I hope they improve their buffet offerings and replenish items more regularly to enhance the dining experience.
In my opinon this is the best Indian cuisine hands-down in Maple Ridge.
The buffet is really great. Somewhat limited number of choices but each is very tasty.
I ordered a pick up on 8.20pm for samosas and it was ready at 9.05pm. Very fast service and loved standing there for 30 mins.
Placed an order for delivery, was told 30-45 mins. 2 hours later with a couple calls no food and was told it would be another 20-30. Not impressed
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options Food
Service, wack. Food overpriced for small amount. overall would prob never come back here Lol
Nice ambiance and delicious food. Manpreet served us well and was super professional. Highly recommended for authentic Indian cuisine.
Food is excellent, people are as well. Vegetarian options: Lots on the menu, including vegan options. Food : 5/5 |
Love this Indian Restaurant and so glad they opened after the fire. You ve gotta try it. Maggie
The restaurant is extremely clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. The best butter chicken Ive had in a very long time
I love their barfi
Ok place in maple ridge for dinner , quick take out or dinner.
Food was very good, except dal was too salty. Bartha was great. Decent prices.
Picked up butter chicken and fish pakora. absolutely delish and you cant beat their prices!
Best buffet in Maple Ridge!
JMK is my favorite since we moved to maple ridge.
Bad service. Poor customer service
Unfortunately I was not to impressed with the flavors, Im sure they are trying very hard to create a Indian cuisine, but it was a bit disappointing for my taste.
They don t know how to take orders.
Always good
The samosas are good n the chicken korma. Wish they can keep the volume down of the TV. Service is great n the owner is really humble n hardworking person.
Music was a little loud but the amazing food made up for it. Probably the best Indian food in maple ridge.
I had catered few times & my family always been happy especially their Butter Chicken so delicious.
Dont try pizza here
This is my favourite Indian buffet restaurant in Maple Ridge, and their single dishes are just as good. Like myself, there are always a lot of single customers enjoying the buffet. I eat there at least two times a month. They have great music videos playing; however, if you want to plug in a device and listen to your own, they have plugs in the booths. The servers are super sweet and nice. Lastly, the prices are very good - $15 for the buffet.
Latest update: Food has gone down hill. Quantity has reduced. Used to be good. Doesn t taste like before. Attached is a photo of a soup I ordered. Covered in oil. Very good food and portions for the price. We have become a regular. We have tried their samosa, dal maharani, mulligatawny soup, Punjabi kadhi,channa bhature, chicken korma and butter chicken. All excellent. They do take a long time get the order ready. 30-40 mins so remember to call ahead of picking up.
Amazing food, service is always amazing whether eating in or ordering out. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!!
The whole family just loves this place! Either buffet or a la carte they are the best in the city! Take out Samosas are just amazing! Large portions, make sure you are hungry! Vegetarian options: Veggie Pakora are just awesome! Dietary restrictions: They ask a lot in terms of what you like or dont like, make sure you tell them! Parking: Not too hard to find parking at all. Lots of free street parking. Kid-friendliness: My kids 8 and 10 love the place. The different music is very attractive to them! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs!
I gave a try with this restaurant and I am very disappointed. I ordered samosas with chickpea to go. Chickpea was in the same container on top of samosa so by the time we got to eat this samosa was all soggy. This should be put in seperate containers so we could a totally enjoy samosa.
Tastiest Indian food in Maple Ridge! Our server, Jessica, was both friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.
I really enjoyed their Goat curry with Garlic Naan and Rice. Overall had a great meal on Mothers day lunch buffet. Definitely I will visit again to try some of the other dishes.
Very yummy!!
Lovely live music, staff, and food.
So amazing and I love coming back every time..
The best in town, by far!
Vegetarian options: there are many vegetarian and at least 4 or 5 vegan dishes Food
Just ordered yet again from our favourite Indian restaurant (we always order for delivery). The food was exceptional tonight, we had Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and Aloo Gobi along with rice and naan bread. The flavours/spices mix for all the dishes were mouthwatering. I highly recommend them.
We ordered samosas for our potluck they were so delicious and liked by everyone.
The buffet is average but the $1 vegetable samosas are great.
Best noodles ever in bc
The food was excellent and the prices were fair, not cheap but not expensive either. It was about $20 for an order of butter chicken with rice and naan bread, which was all delicious and ready very quickly.
My husband and I went for the lunch buffet today. And it was wondeful. The best fresh, hot garlic naan. The tandoori chicken very flavorful and juicy. And the butter chicken was one of the best weve ever had. There was also a nice fresh salad bar. And a giod selection of hot meat and veg dishes. And delicious samosas. So much to choose from. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. And the staff was very nice and friendly. Cant wait to go back!
Not one of the best, the best Indian restaurant in Maple Ridge till date. The food is amazingly delicious and the best part is affordable prices. Give it try before it s too late. I am eating Parothe. What you getting. Jokes apart. It s just amazing. Good service.
THE BEST INDIAN FOOD Affordable prices, delicious meals. A must have is their chai. I had a chance to go their on a random day- but it turned out to be so good. Now its always in my schedule- every weekend or any other day I visit them, never regret going there. The environment is good, staff is friendly. 5/5 from my side.
Tastless food
We came for dine in for new year get together. Great food, very nice service. Overall, amazing experience. God bless the people there.
Good and fresh, tasty food and good service also Restaurant owner also sweet spoken Lunch buffet also very tasty Food : 5/5
Excellent service and food was soo delicious special thank to our sever Karan love it
Am really happy do not have to go to Suurey anymore.Been here twice and was happy with everything! Vegetarian options: My vegan friend had many options.The veg pakora was excellent!
ONLY BUFFET IN TOWN! Lots of options for lunch and dinner
I went there last week and there service was really amazing. Worker there Jessica is really kind and sweet.
Went in today for the lunch buffet for the first time. We thought it was delicious! We have gone to very expensive buffets that have a huge amount of variety, but honestly all we want is a good butter chicken :) the price was $15 a person which is amazing! We received great service too. Our server filled up our water multiple times (sounds simple but is lacking at other places) and she brought us two baskets of fresh garlic naan! We were very happy and will definitely be regulars going forward.
Great service! Server is very nice, food is excellent
We sure missed you while you were repairing the restaurant. We just ordered tonight, thank your driver for driving here in this awful weather. And thanks for making our delicious dinner. It was exceptional!
Theres Indian food then theres JMK Mahal. Its the best Indian food Ive ever tasted, so fresh and delicious every time. And the staff are great too highly recommend.
Like many people, I was glad to see this restaurant open again From the friendly waitress, to the food , this was a very pleasant way to spend our New Years eve. If I had to recommend any food dish, it would have to be the Samosas.. they are simply devine especially with that scrumptious sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
love their chicken biryani. waited soo long to reopen their restaurant.Happy to see you again :))
Ordered Chana bhature.. good food ..and reasonable price
Great new built restaurant with good service
Parking: Maple Ridge had butter chicken it was so delicious
Tasty and delicious food! Exceptional service! New fresh dining area. Highly recommend.
Best restaurant I have ever been too 100% recommend. Kid-friendliness: Very nice to the kids
We are so glad they are open again after 1.5 years closed. We were sad when the fire happened in 2021 and they closed. We love our East Indian food and tried all the other Indian rest. close to us but non of them measured up to JMK Mahal. So we stopped going for indian food for the last year. Just a couple of months ago they opened back up. Have been dine in with nice atmosphere there and ordered take out many times. LOVE IT great food great prices and the staff and owners are number 1. glad to have you back
Solid Indian restaurant as far as Maple Ridge goes. Nothing to complain about. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options, like most Indian restaurants. Food : 5/5 |
Good food and nice place for family dinners
I go to this restaurant every week, I like the food very much. It gives the whole Indian traditional tastes in the food.I do both dine-in and takeout and it s very much affordable as well. The staff is very friendly and the owners are really nice. I would definitely recommend to go there.
Visited today because of the recommendation of our fellow Maple Ridge neighborhood. Great food delicious dessert. All these for $15.00 for Buffett!! Highly recommended!
Fantastic food lovely staff check it out !!!!
We ve missed you guys so much since the fire and we re so glad you ve been able to re-open! Vegetarian options: We had the buffet and there a lot of vegetarian options. Everything was delicious! Parking: Plenty of street parking and a back parking lot.
Great food and service, we have been many times and looking forward to the next.
Good food, good service. I m happy they ve reopened.
Excellent food with top class service. Best place to have family-friendly dine in.
Vegetarian options: Awesome shahi paneer , dal makhni and tandoori roti ! Best food in the area.
Excellent food, just recently re opened and its my go to for Indian food. Better than GM
I am Indian, and I would highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Indian food.
Good one
Oh gosh I was hoping this place was still good. I used to order all the time before the fire. Switched to a different restaurant and I wish I had just stayed with them. The Butter chicken tastes like tomatoe soup and watery. Im so disappointed and wont go back.
Sub par, slow service. Way better places in the neighbourhood where I would rather spend my money
Purchased butter chicken and chicken tikka masala last week. Gravy was good, however the main ingredient chicken had no flavour.
I stopped by on the way back to Vancouver , we all needed something to eat. A friend recommended this place. It was delicious, the food was so tasty and favourable. Food : 5/5
Wanted to check out this place because of its good reviews. But we were disappointed with the quality of the food. We ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Although the gravy was good, they put boiled chicken cubes in both the curries. For the chicken tikka masala, the chicken cubes were mixed with some sort of a weird color (perhaps to give it the look of tandoori chicken). Anyone with a slight inkling about Indian food would know that using boiled chicken cubes in these dishes would end up altering the taste of the entire dish and is thus considered a strict no-no. I have only seen this happening when a vegetarian cook prepares non-vegetarian food. Would not be ordering non-vegetarian dishes from this outlet any more.
A decent Indian restaurant in Maple ridge area, good ambience and taste
Nice Indian food Especially mahal cream of chicken
JMK Mahalnis always the Go to for all you can eat Indian food. The Best!!!
I wish they had more stars so I can rated higher then 5 stars, honestly cant get any better value, service or taste than what JMK Mahal offers literally finguer liking good.
Sooooo good their prawn korma is my favourite
This is easily the best South Asian restaurant in Maple Ridge
Six years later with the remodel this place is a gem. 3.50 shots 5 dollar beers and unreal food. Still cant breathe. Such kind service this place deserves 5 stars. 6 years ago Amazing food. I cant breathe after everytime i go cause i eat so much! Best buffet in the fraser valley Vegetarian options: Its indian food. The best vegetarian dishes you can eat.
Ordered for the first time tonight and had it delivered via Uber Eats. Wow!! Best Indian food we ve ever had!! Food came piping hot and was full of incredible flavour. This is our new go-to Indian cuisine in Maple Ridge.
Bought some sweets yesterday. Least to say had to throw them as soon as I tasted them. I asked at the restaurant are they fresh and obviously they said it was. Then the last at the counter said maybe was made 2 days back. But i am quite sure it was longer than 2 days. My daughter felt sick after having 1 piece ... So the sweets went to the best place possible. THE DUSTBIN.
Food is delicious and staff is so friendly.I just felt like home in restaurant bcz of cheerful environment.
Worst service ever. Not the first time the food is delayed, i arrived 45 mins after placing the order still had to wait for another 25 mins at restaurant. Person can starve to death by the time they prepare entire order. By the time i get food every time one or 2 items are always cold out of entire order. Probably this was last time i ordered here.
Great paranthas!
stopped in w the wife for there daily buffet 11-3 was surprised how busy it was till we tasted the food w fresh naan brought table side it was a very enjoyable experience and has great value ... everything was tasty and the items that were emptied w topped up quickly we will Def return soon .
I went back after a few years of avoiding this place because of a bad exposure. I m glad I did! The service was great and the food was delicious!
Am so glad to have this local restaurant back. They make my favorite dish I could not find in any other restaurant from Coquitlam to Maple Ridge during thier renovation.
It was lovely. The foods tasted delicious. Selection was well balanced. Staff was friendly . This is definitely a hidden treasure . Recommend everyone should check it out .
Discovered this restaurant from working at my first job, I can tell you there is no other restaurant I would go to!
Delicious buffet, good samosa and chai, great customer service.
Excellent food, terrific service ,great atmosphere at a very affordable price. Would come again at any time.
Great buffet, great value, great people! Vegetarian options: Good choices... Food : 5/5 |
Great indian food! Missed to take pictures of it, we were so hungry...
Best indian food with good service and reasonable price.
My familys take out order was excellent all around. Pricing, staff, atmosphere, food and portions were great, as always. Tried a new appy, looking for something authentic Id tried somewhere before; it came with more than I was expecting and was delicious. Cheers Food
Good food and value for money
Avoid! My family has ordered from here before the fire and it s like a different restaurant. Butter chicken tastes like Campbell s tomato soap with dry chicken cubes inside. Chat papdi came as one bowl of mushy wafers with a lot of yogurt and not much else. When we called to report that the wafers were missing, they said they just mixed them in Pakoras flavorless.
Yesterday I was in the Maple Ridge area and we went to JMK Mahal restaurant for lunch due to recommendations from various groups. The place is clean however the food is not as good as I would expect: the clay oven roasted chicken were all gone. When it finally arrived, from the fist bite, I realized the chicken leg itself was not fresh, even it was covered in seasoning. All the rest of dishes are mediocre at best. The salad and fruit were so sad looking, that I did not touch them at all.
I like picking up food for lunch however the employees working need to keep in mind to always put cutlery for pick up orders! Other then that the food is excellent!
I love their food and one of the girls on reception Manpreet she is very sweet and nice and deliver very good services.
One of my favorite places to eat. I havent tried a dish I didnt love
They have the best food in the town and the ambiance is awesome specially karan service was top notch really recommend everyone to visit this place
Very good casual Indian spot. The lunch buffet was fresh and tasty, not as large as something like Tandoori Flame in Surrey but they had the basics and they were done well. Service was excellent. And finally it was a greta value!
Good food and delightful staff, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to try authentic Indian food.
Amazing food and taste. Lots of variety and great quality. Authentic Indian taste. This place wont disappoint you. Jessicas service was amazing until the end. Suggested us some great dishes. Very much recommended.
Worst food ever had in my life left us sick until next day all the food served in the buffet is old and reheated over and over again garbage food first and last mistake eating out here.
Nice food at the buffet.
Tasty indian food, veg samosa was really good and goat biryani as well, perfect portion too. Service was excellent. Near to the main road and easy to find.
This place was all around amazing. The food, service, music, interior design & Decor. Would definitely go back
The takeout portion is getting small and smaller. Rice pulao got nothing except shredded carrots and again smaller portions. There is no receipt in the bag that shows how much they charge for each food items. Felt like overcharged.
Just find this new restaurant a month ago try samosas and Bhatura they were good. But today I ordered papdi chat and Amristsari kulcas! Chat had lots of yougart barely any chatni and kulcha was made with whole wheat just exactly like Alo Parantha. I called the restaurant and complained the staff had no authority to make any decision what to do in this case. Management never approached me to solve the problem. Next time I will be hesitant to recommend this restaurant.
Best samosa
I am so disappointed at JMK Mahal restaurant. At the beginning their sweets were so good after a long time went to get 1 pound of kaju barfi and 1 pound of plain rasgulla both of them were stale and I had to dump both of them out. Called them to let them know and there was no good will gesture regarding this. Very disappointed.
On our first visit we ordered paneer pakoda and samosa chat which were very good..vanilla shake bad. On our second visit we ordered lamb rogan josh which to our surprise lookwise only felt not good, was too liquidy, bland, tasteless..killed our appetite. Didnt expect this bad. Bhatura also too thick and average. Rotis were soft and good. Dont know what to try here and what not..
If you are an Indian, you know this as an undeniable truth that one item, such as a chowmein, will be sufficient for more than one person. This is the first time I witnessed that the quantity of Indo-Chinese items is so low that one person might need two dishes. First in the world! The food wasnt great either, noodles looked soggy as if they put water after stir frying. Lastly, the staff was disappointing too. I think a lifeless machine might show more friendliness and hospitality than the girls here. I wont visit again.
Veggie samosas here are so good!
Great food service and delicious food ,friendly staff .
My friend rajbeer recommended me this restaurant who work here and ti tried chana bhatura and that was amazing. Apart from that staff is also so friendly. I like this restaurant and i will visit often.
Great food with friendly service!
It is addicting
Missing this restaurant! We have tried all the others in town but nothing compares.
Please come back, best restaurant in Maple Ridge!
Dine in open for westeners closed for Indians. What!
The most authentic place to have butter chicken. We have been eating it almost every second day. Highly recommended!
Great to see them back open and still providing tasty food that hits all the spots when you want a great Indian meal.
My favourite Indian restaurant in town. Lots of plant based options, the all you can eat buffet is affordable and delicious.
Very nice dine in after the renovations. Food tastes so good. Smosas are best.
We went yesterday from surrey and were super hungry. One of our friend had recommended it and their gobi parantha and fish curry are just unremarkable. So delicious and the owner is super friendly. Had a wonderful experience overall.
Great food and amazing people. Love it here.
Best Indian food in maple ridge. Very friendly staff. Always order from them and always fresh and tasty. I love this place.
We have been dining or having lunch at JMK MAHAL multiple times and every time we were very satisfied. Food is amazing, prepared to perfection and service is impeccable. I do recommend to try them out. They are open for dine in or pick up.
Absolutely the best veggie samosa anywhere.
Amazing veggie samosas
Im very happy with our experience at this restaurant. The lamb kebab and lamb stew were well-cooked and delicious.
Great service and tasty Indian food. One of our favourite Indian places to get takeout
Is this restaurant halal? I want an answer, please
Very tasty Indian food! Butter chicken is so smooth, garlic Nan is where its at!
Beautiful taste, amazing food
Ordered in for the family however the dishes were mostly sauce instead of protein.
This is the best food, period. I cannot get enough of it. Everyone there is always friendly.
Delicious food, and have always received excellent customer service from the staff.
I will have to change my review because of my last two visits here. I would regularly drive here from a good hour away because it was a very good curry restaurant. However this will be my last visit here. The Butter chicken was dried out and tasted like pure sugar, and very little chicken, mostly sauce. The Korma was watered down and tasteless, are naan bread was burnt and the order of Veg. Pakora was half the usual amount. I dont know what happened to this place, but we will not be returning, and we are on the hunt for another decent curry house!!!
Awesome food and consistently good service. I usually get take out from this joint, but am looking forward to trying out their dine in. Their restaurant is super cute and cozy!
Super friendly and just really great food.
I always get take out from here. The prices are good. The food is always hot. The diner area is really old and needs an update but this is a good place to go for take out.
Good value, friendly (and very beautiful) waitress. Food was good
Authentic food that is amazing, every dish weve ordered had been exceptional.
Very impressive The restaurant environment is elegant, the food is beautiful, and it makes people feel happy
Great food..great service. We have been getting take out from Mahal for over three years. Their food is consistently excellent!
As always great food
Can t wait until this place reopens. Excellent Indian food, reasonably priced. Very accommodating as we get a few vegan options.
