Queen Mumtaz — Restaurant in England

This place turned out to be a very lucky discovery for us on a Sunday evening. We hadn’t planned it, but stumbled in to find that Sundays are buffet nights – and what a treat it was. For anyone with a love of Indian food, the buffet is an absolute joy: a chance to wander through the full breadth of the cuisine, from crispy appetisers to rich curries, aromatic rice dishes and smoky grilled meats.

We started with the classics – Samosa, Onion Bhaji and Papadam – each executed with the kind of attention to texture that sets them apart. The samosa’s pastry was thin and crisp, with a spiced filling that balanced warmth and earthiness. The bhajis were light, not greasy, with the sweetness of onion still intact beneath the spice. From there, the Lamb Shish Kebab brought that essential tandoor flavour – charred edges giving way to tender meat.

Moving on to mains, I was genuinely surprised at the consistency. In many buffets you expect highs and lows, but here everything we tried – from the comforting mildness of a Chicken Korma to more robust curries – delivered depth and balance. The rice dishes were fragrant, fluffy and well seasoned. Even the simpler sides carried care in their preparation, showing an understanding that in Indian dining, every element matters.

At £15 per person, it felt almost too generous for the variety and quality on offer. This is the sort of buffet where you don’t just fill your plate, you explore – and every dish tells its own story of spice, texture and tradition.

Of course, if you prefer to order from the menu, you can visit on other days, but for me the Sunday buffet was a standout experience. It’s not just about the value; it’s about finding a buffet where every dish, across the whole spectrum of Indian cookery, tastes as it should. Queen Mumtaz exceeded my expectations, and I’ll be returning...

Sunday Buffet: Bring your own drink and your own plates: Avoid this place if you want to eat from a clean plate. Popadoms, starters and main meals all must be consumed from the same plate. I have finished my starter and I wanted to have a clean plate to have my main from, I have been told that is not possible. You must eat all your courses from the same plate. I have asked for a clean plate and I have been told no, that’s not possible. After 2 popadoms, 1 chicken and a salad I have paid £29.50 for 2 people. Regardless it’s a buffet, clean plate is a minimum, especially when the customer requested it. No wonder why is the other Indian restaurant across the road had a food safety rating of 1 just less than 3 months ago, remain closed, all employees now working here . Great customer service and...

Well started off a good evening and then they put the music up so loud you couldn't hear yourself and chat. I asked the music to be turned down twice but I got told a group wanted the music loud so had no respect for the other diners. I told the waiter if I wanted to go to a nightclub I would pay to do so. It seems that they don't value the regular customers. Also the new waitress, well such an attitude. She should not be employed in the hospitality industry. I can honestly say that this was probably the last time I would visit this restaurant. They don't respect the regulars only a one off group who wants the music loud. The joke is that every time they asked for it to be turned up they went outside for a cigarette. If you want to eat and not speak to one another then this is the...
