Restaurant Review: Mumbai to London
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mumbai to London, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a menu filled with delicious Indian cuisine that truly captures the authentic flavors. As a group of nine, we had the opportunity to sample several dishes, and we were not disappointed.
To start, the garlic bread was a standout. It was beautifully prepared, with a lovely, fluffy texture that melted in your mouth. The flavors were spot-on, showcasing the attention to detail put into each dish.
However, while the food itself was excellent, the service left something to be desired. Given the size of our group, it seemed the restaurant struggled to efficiently cater to us. The food arrived in drips and drabs, which disrupted the flow of the meal and left some of us waiting longer than others. Despite this, the staff was friendly and attentive, doing their best to accommodate our needs.
In terms of pricing, the dishes were fairly priced. However, one issue we encountered was the portion size. They were quite small, leaving us wanting more. As a result, we ended up ordering extra food to satisfy our appetites fully. It would be great if the restaurant could consider offering more generous portions in the future.
On a positive note, the restaurant's ambiance was pleasant. The tables were nicely spaced out, providing a comfortable and intimate dining experience. The quirky decor added a unique touch, creating a visually appealing atmosphere. Moreover, the cleanliness and tidiness of the place were commendable, contributing to a pleasant dining environment.
Parking might be a slight inconvenience, as there is no parking available outside the restaurant. However, a retail park nearby offers both free and paid parking options, making it reasonably convenient for patrons.
In conclusion, Mumbai to London offers a delicious array of Indian cuisine with authentic flavors. While the service could be improved, the overall experience was positive. The restaurant's quirky ambiance, combined with its cleanliness and tidy appearance, adds to its charm. Keep in mind that the portion sizes may be on the smaller side, but the flavors make up for it. If you're looking for an enjoyable dining experience with authentic Indian cuisine, Mumbai to London is a place worth...
Read moreThe best little place to eat in or take out I have ever been too. This place is a hidden Gem, easy to miss but make sure you don't! It has a great feel to it inside, modern yet traditional with spices pilled up on the most charming little sideboard and although a cafe vibe it feels really cosy and welcoming, I regretted just going in just for a takeaway and would have happily sat in there and enjoyed the ambience of the place. I placed my order and was handed a complimentary cup of tea from the owner's wife, probably one of the best cups of tea I have ever had, it was infused with lemongrass, ginger and other amazing sweet spices that got my tastebuds excited. I sat waiting for my order and enjoyed the great chat from a very lovely young man at the front of the house. The food, the food, what can I say, it's amazing, it's more than amazing its bloody gorgeous! This is what I have been after all my life, authentic, proper, home-cooked, delicious cuisine, cuisine you would find roadside in Mumbai, they don't just say this, it is! It's bursting with flavour, spices, and love. The menu is small and if you have ever watched Gordon Ramsey you know that's F**g key to a good restaurant and it works here, every dish was cooked to perfection and cooked fresh there and then. I am not going to lie, if it says spicy its spicy, the chicken wings blew my head off but were amazing. The Lamb is big, succulent and tender pieces of amazing, when can you say that about the lamb in a takeaway or restaurant around here! It literally melts in the mouth. The samosas are fresh and crispy, the sagg gohst curry is just filled with beautiful flavours, the Biriani has spices and flavours that will blow your mind and don't panic if you can't see your usual chappati on there, the Nan bread is amazing and you will not be disappointed. This Chef knows how to cook and knows how to get a menu right. This place, thank the stars, will be my new favourite Friday or Saturday night takeaway, or eat in, it's too good not to go and sit in and enjoy the cosy, relaxed feel of the place and a chance to try more things off that menu. They do a gluten-free menu too just ask. Droylsden needed this place, you won't be disappointed. It's 5 massive...
Read moreI’ve just moved to the area and have been trying out various takeaways (for research!) and came across Mumbai to London Cafe. After seeing all the great reviews me and my sister decided to try it out via Uber Eats. It’s a little more pricey than what you’d expect, but the food was freshly cooked and was quite tasty. However, having an Asian background does tend to make us more discerning when it comes to “curries”.
The Daal Bukhara was LOVELY - so creamy and moreish, I just couldn’t get enough.
The saag gosht was nice, but it was far too mild our taste (we’d probably request to have it spicier next time) but my main issue with it is that for £7.50 I was expecting more lamb in there - there were only 4 small pieces of it and the rest was saag - so that was disappointing!
The lamb samosas were tasty, but I wish they were bigger (like mum’s samosas!)
(Plain basmati rice was as you’d expect)
But let me tell you, the chutney garlic naan was AMAZING. I’ve never had it before but I’m so glad we tried it because it’s delicious.
Would definitely try this place again and choose some of the other things on...
