The menu at Ketley’s Mauchak Lounge is incredibly extensive, boasting one of the most comprehensive selections of Indian and South Asian dishes in the Telford area. Unmissable are the appetiser platters – the toofan platter or the Mauchak platter – for four people, ideal to pick at while you have a drink and peruse the rest of what’s on offer. Chicken, meat, and vegetarian starters segues into fine seafood and a big range of popular old favourites like mild makhani and hot Bangladeshi king prawn naga.

However, if you’re really keen to test the waters at Mauchak Lounge, go for the signature dishes and chef’s recommendations. Weird and wonderful creations from this innovative Holyhead Road kitchen like the chocolate kurma and the sagorama vie for your attention, while Telford’s South Asian traditionalists will opt for the Mauchak bhuna, Sylhet keema bhuna or fiery pangus fish jalfrezi. Mauchak Lounge also offers one of Ketley’s most reliable spots for really traditional Indian dishes and tandoori grills, and locals know and love the Sunday Banquet and Panache Thursday dinner deals that both demand an advance reservation if you don’t want to miss out on the chance to secure a table.
