Things have changed since we were there a year ago. Not for the better either. Service still impeccable,, awesome. Atmosphere was a bit hindered with several very loud children that the parents didn't bother to reign it. Of course that can happen anywhere. By the time we left at 7PM on a Saturday night, the place was packed. Definitely get a reservation beforehand, like we did. Now for the bit of disappointment,, the food has been changed. My wife and I were going to replicate our order from a year ago. Our guest was new to this restaurant. Less flavourful would encompass most of our cuisine experience. My wife had gotten chicken tikka masala before,, absolutely loved it. She loathes coconut. It was exempt of it. This time we asked if it was still coconut-free. The answer was no,,it has coconut in it's sauce. So a recommendation was made for a chicken curry. Appeared to have chicken tikka in a tomato base with some raw onion. She said it was ok,,but would never order it again,,lacked any kind of curry flavour. My tandoori chicken looked great,,but did it lack in the flavour department. Same with the special fried rice. Same with the 3 side dishes and naan our guest ordered. Bland, bland, and bland. The papadums with it's sides were now a bit of a bizarre mix. Not bad, but lacked regular mango chutney and a tamarind sauce. There were 3 of us and we all agreed on the overall experience. While the food was good looking,,it lacked the zing and flavour. It appears in the years time shortcuts or money saving changes have been made that affect the overall quality and experience of the meal. Not terrible,,but definitely no longer great either. We were really letdown and disappointed after the tremendous meal we had a year ago that made our taste buds explode in all sorts of ways. This time our taste buds were just left in the...

Dry Lamb again which I wouldn’t give my dog. Also ordered the cauliflower and potato sidedish. This was nothing more than boiled vegetables with not even any salt, and then some kind of curry sauce Stirred in and probably microwaved.
Utterly tasteless and unpalatable. The naan breads were equally Dry, and tasteless. When I flagged this with the extremely embarrassed waiters, they were very apologetic and offered to remake the mixed grill.
I reluctantly agreed, but soon after this, the senior waiter came along, and said the remade version would be the same as the previous version so did I want anything else from the menu. We left.
This was pretty much the final straw.
The owner of the restaurant was sitting in the corner, whooping it up with his friends and seemed completely diss interested.
Total rip-off, treat customers with utter contempt. Not sure what is going on and/or how this place survives.
I am of Asian descent and was particularly unimpressed.
Waiting staff seemed extremely embarrassed and realised that the food was significantly below standard, but seemed powerless to do anything to...

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile from the staff and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable.
The menu at Mumtaz Indian offers a wide range of dishes, from classic Indian favorites to unique and creative dishes. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was one of the best I have ever had. The spices were perfectly balanced and the sauce was rich and creamy. I also tried their samosas as an appetizer and they were crisp and filled with flavorful ingredients.
The service at Mumtaz Indian was outstanding. The wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed throughout my meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and it truly adds to the overall experience.
Overall, I would highly recommend Mumtaz Indian to anyone looking for a fantastic Indian dining experience.
