Great food, cooked fresh, and they really pay attention to special requests. Top notch.

I booked a table for 2 , both of us are electric wheelchair users, when we arrived for our reservation, we were told by the staff there that the restaurant is Not Wheelchair Accessible and therefore we could not access our table or the restaurant, We had to find a different restaurant in Alton which was wheelchair accessible. This is extremely embarrassing, frustrating and unfair as a wheelchair user , not to be able to eat at a restaurant because it is not accessible and I had to therefore cancel my booking .Wheelchair accessibility: No Wheelchair Accessibility At All .

I have been a repeat customer of Miftas and cannot criticise the food, it's top notch.The reason for my less than 5* review is that I desperately want my friend who has accessibility needs to dine with me.Wheelchair accessibility: On inspection there is no wheelchair friendly access as there are steps at the threshold of the doorway. Unfortunately the slope that bypasses the main steps up to the threshold has been blocked by planters so it isn't even possible to get as far as the threshold even if they did have ramps to get over the threshold.The trouble is, I am sure those planters can be moved, but who wants to wait around all red faced and feeling "different" while some staff member comes out to move them in front of you....If Miftas can rectify this I can rectify my review and provide 5*

Food was good, overall good value for money, a bit annoying that they did not take

Takeaway from Mifta’s was speedy and still piping hot, huge portion of chicken tikka masala, pilau rice and poppadoms - enough curry there for two of us!We had the pleasure of dining here for Mifta’s 5 year anniversary (Nov 2023) and everything served was DELICIOUS, also half price!!We took our family from South Africa, who had never tasted anything like a Korma or Masala. They were impressed!I made the mistake of not asking for any coriander on my Lamb Rogan, but enjoyed it nonetheless. We had our 3 month old baby, Mifta and team didn’t bat an eyelid - but it definitely helped that she was quiet and as good as gold the entire time.Staff are great, food was great, atmosphere was great.5* from us!Parking: Car park is just round the corner of the building.

This restaurant is so fantastic. Really top quality Indian food and a vast menu with many very interesting options from mild to hot. I’ve eaten here many times and it always impresses. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and usually the food arrives quite quickly too. Tonight has the “Alton Lounge”, a tandoori chicken dish with tomatoes and peppers that was like a taste explosion in my mouth. Wonderful. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Excellent Monday ‘banquet.’ (so many restaurants are cheating these days but here… varied menu, very tasty starter of prawns. Then garlic chicken tikka.. great flavours and value. Honest food with charming, courteous and attentive staff. Well done! We’ll be back!

If you love oily curries packed with articifial colours then this is the perfect restaurant. We had a takeaway and it was awful. Incredibly oily, bright red (becuase they add a powdered red food colouring to the spice mix) and the spice flavours were masked by a bitter taste caused by the red food colouring. The sheeh kebab was dry with a sawdust texture and the lamb very chewy. The mix grill was swimming in oil and the heavy amount of tumeric stained our fingers, plates and work surfaces. The onion salad was served in a plastic bag which was covered in oil which leaked ftom the containers which the curry was in!The food was an insult to the food insustry and is most definitely NOT indian food.

Gave up on our telephone order after two hours. Five phone calls , “he’s on his way” four times until eventually we gave up. We live 5 minutes drive away. Consistently lied to me on progress over the phone. Will never order from here again. Terrible customer service. I have no idea how they are still in business.

Very good local Indian. We went on a feast night - mixed starter was excellent. Main curries very good. Portions are large so we will return but probably on a normal evening. Service is friendly and efficient and the restaurant is very comfortable. Wold recommend it
