Montaz in Forest Heath

One of the best Indian meals I have had for ages. Quality of ingredients was top notch and the flavours were fantastic. Service was brilliant and could not fault anything about the evening.

First time at this restaurant. Food was amazing - Lamb Rogan Josh was so flavoursome. Staff were super friendly and professional.

We took friends here on Saturday We live in Essex , but when we come to Newmarket races we always come here The food was amazing as usual The staff were very efficient and friendly We would definitely recommend going here if you haven’t tried it you must try it We will definitely be going back

I been fews days ago after previous two times in August and September. The food was amazing, service outstanding . I love the calamari and samphire as starter.

Very classy Indian restaurant with impeccable service and delicious food. Massive thank you to the staff for squeezing us in on a very busy evening. Very accommodating and whenever we are in Newmarket again this will be a definite place we will eat at but will make sure we book

Couldn't have been better. Excellent north Indian cuisine with modern twist

Monday night service was excellent and the food is some of the best Indian food I have tasted.

Absolutely awful experience, 6 of us visited, food very bland, no flavour to curries, just chilli added to make it very hot. Mutton tough as old boots and chicken tikka main course turned up on small round dish, 7 small pieces of uncooked thigh meat. I questioned whether a main or starter. Was able to pick it about to eat only the cooked pieces. I did complain about the uncooked food and got refunded. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Great staff & great food. However, I don't like any restaurant automatically adding gratuities to the bill. I'd rather pay the staff directly, not the owner.

What a fantastic find! We made a last minute booking at the Montez. We are in Newmarket for three days of racing and usually book restaurants in advance, however we took the advice of our hosts at the Airbnb we are staying at and we are delighted we did! We were warmly welcomed and started with popadoms and pickles. For our starter we had the mixed platter, which was delightful! It was beautifully presented and had such delicate flavours, whilst still giving a little heat. I chose the butter chicken and pilau rice for my main meal, which was the best Indian dish I have eaten for some time. The chicken was extremely tender and the spices were delicate. My husband chose the chicken chilli dish which he absolutely relished. The staff were very attentive, polite, discreet and informative. We really could not fault the meal, the restaurant or the staff. We would thoroughly recommend a visit.

brilliantly run independent, modern contemporary restaurant with amazing service, food had a lovely authentic quality, great balance of flavours and the right amount of spice, highly recommended

Amazing food staff very nice :)))

Enjoyed some of the new items in the menu. Superb flavours and presentation. Service excellent as always. The very best restaurant in the area.

Excellent food, the Lamb Rogan was delicious and prepared by someone of considerable skill

The food was exceptional from start to finish with flavours to excite the palate. Service was on point and a great selection of premium beverages to serve. Me and my friend will be back with our wives!

Wonderful food, great, friendly service. I particularly loved the King Prawn Puri starter. Divine! Stylish restaurant. We’ll be back very soon.

Visited Montez 16 April 24. The food was perfect. I would recommend the Luknow Lamb Chops. All the food tasted fresh . The service was second to none. There were three of us and we were all very happy. Simply a great Indian Restaurant.

Lovely meal, price is not for the faint hearted so be prepared to spend £100 per couple, but food lovely, service was excellent, will return

A truly fabulous dining experience. The restaurant is excellent with a great atmosphere, the service was exceptional from attentive and friendly staff. To top it off, the food was sublime at a very reasonable price. Overall, hugely recommend Montaz!

Had a takeaway from Montaz. Food very good and staff friendly and helpful.

Best Indian Restaurant in Newmarket, expensive, but scrumpy.

The food is fantastic. The Ox cheek especially stands out. The service was impeccable from start to finish. With the space they have to work with (rather small) the setting has an excellent atmosphere. Where is that 6th star!

A surprise find in Newmarket, better than some Indian restaurants in London. Best chicken tikka that I had ever tried.

Simply put the best Indian Restaurant in Newmarket. Nothing comes close.

Good food, quick service. Enjoyed it very much. Employees attentive, polite.

Really good night out, would go again

This was a spot check on this restaurant we heard it was good so we thought we would check it out I must admit it was quite good I would recommend it so if you're in the area give it a try

One of the best Indian restaurant in Cambridgeshire

Lovey meal, great service. Just to let you know I left my credit and bank cards in a card wallet on the table by mistake. The resturant rang me and told me . As I had left Newmarket and live in London, they posted my cards to me signed for. So trust worthy. Thank you Montaz. Ramadan mubarrick .

It's alot of food and I highly recommended the lamb.

Always go here for our takeaways and occasional meals out. Very friendly staff, great service and food is top notch. Highly recommended. We always have chicken tika korai.

Very nice food but portion sizes not generous. Lively for a mid week evening.

The food tastes very good and the price is reasonable

food was OK but nothing amazing. very expensive.

Great food, friendly staff and nice place!

Haven’t had for a couple of years until the other night. Amazing and delicious! The chicken dishes were so tender and full of flavour. Can’t wait for the next meal!

Love this place. Great service, lovely atmosphere and the food is delicious.

My fav curry house in Newmarket. Nice food and service.

Expensive and food not that good. Won't visit again.

Fantastic - back again soon 😊👍👌

Lovely food, I had Rogan Josh which was full of flavour but not spicy at all. Only down side was very expensive water for the table. Can't complain about anything else, service was great.

Food and service absolutely spot on. Good range but not overly complicated menu, reasonably priced. Would return

Walked in, pretty empty - it is a small restaurant. Told to sit in next to a draughty, opening door ( on a cold November night) when almost all tables were empty. Asked to sit elsewhere and told the table I pointed to was booked for 5 people.....with 4 chairs! We walked out.

Very tasty food, excellent service.

High quality food and excellent service

Very nice restaurant and food. It was very noisy though, it was a Saturday night and the place was busy but due to the size it was hard to hear the rest of my party when they were speaking. Food was delicious 😋

What a fabulous Indian restaurant! We visited here 17th September 2022. The menu had some spectacular options, and the quality of the food was excellent! The attentiveness and care of the service was second to none!! The ambiance was perfect! Thoroughly recommend this first class restaurant!

I have been to this restaurant a few times, and have never had a poor meal. The food is flavoursome, and not the run of the mill Indian fare. The wait staff are prompt but you are never made to feel rushed to making a decision. They are also knowledgeable and will help you. Highly recommend

Fabulous Indian restaurant. They have most of the Indian Dishes. Butter chicken is awesome.

Fabulous food and wonderful service.

I cannot fault this great restaurant, the food just tastes amazing, the salmon came sizzling to the table, perfectly cooked, melting in my mouth with the most amazing blend of spices. Lovely choice of sides all expertly cooked & served by attentive staff. The only sad fact is when your plate is empty & you wish you could start all over again - delicious. Thank you Montaz.

After visiting this place after a day of the races this was the perfect end to our weekend. Food was amazing and and the service even better. Thanks team MONTAZ

Lovely Indian restaurant .Moulton Rd Newmarket.

Hand on heart,the best Indian food I've tasted of being on this planet for 52 years,everything was perfect from the starter through to the sweet,even the popadoms where fantastic,can't wait for my next visit!

From all mains, Tika Masala dish was the top scorer on the table, never had it soo good. All food well presented and tased top quality. Service is amazing and fast.

Had a fantastic meal last night, great quality food and service as always

We were lucky enough to secure a table at last night's "Flavours of East India" a one-off event showcasing the cuisine of Michelin trained chef Saurav Nath. The menu was delicious, well balanced & gave a great cross-section of dishes. The Railway Aloo Chop Chat being a particular favorit. The staff were also excellent without being obtrusive & ensured that the evening ran smoothly. I have already suggested to friends that we attend the next one!

The food was delicious and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The only suggestion I would leave is to make the menus with bigger writing because the lighting is low as it should be, but the menus are hard to read! Loved it, will go again and highly recommend.

Nice decor, service was ok but a bit slow. Nicely cooked food. Overall......nice

What happened to a such a good place to eat. So bad - beyond words.

Excellent food and service. Not a massive menu, which is good in my opinion. But the food choice is great. Taste and presentation can not fault it. Would recommend

Very good ,one of the best Indians locally to me .

Great curry and staff after a days racing

Well what can I say one of the best Indian meals i have had in a long time. Very friendly and a warm welcome would recommend to anyone. Will return the next time I'm up that way.

Top rated Indian menu, not the average standard dishes but more adventurous sophisticated and tasty dishes in the style of haute cuisine. I am a big fan of Indian food in general but this place is a cut above. The staff are friendly and attentive and the tables are placed comfortably apart bearing covid in mind. Prices a little higher than I am used to but well worth it. A very enjoyable experience, I would definitely visit again next time I come to Newmarket.

Charged me £18 for a king prawn dahnsak. Lentils were not properly cooked either and were hard. Had to buy rice on top which means curry and rice is nearly £22!!! Tasted nice but sorry that is just extortionate for a takeaway.

Outstanding restaurant from the impeccable service to the beautifully presented and delicious food. A refreshingly out of the ordinary menu with regular standard dishes also covered incredibly well.Worth going out of your way to experience.

Struggled to find a good Indian, would recommend highly.

Fantastic! Probably the best takeaway food we have had, full stop. Yes, it’s expensive, but every single dish we had was out of this world. Even the ‘staples’ like biriyani and the butter chicken were remarkable. So worth the modest premium.

Meal for 2 just before tier 4 was announced. Amazing friendly service and fantastic food

Excellent food and excellent service. Slightly different dishes that I haven't seen before. I had a dish with Lamb chops and ginger and chilli rice and Both were delicious.

I enjoyed the food here, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The venison was excellent. The raspberry dessert was a bit sloppy and needed something to give it a bit of crunch though. We felt it was very expensive though. It cost just over £100 for three people, with only one beer and one Coke on the bill, and no starters other than poppadoms. Similar meals elsewhere would probably be in the £50-£60 region. This is the only reason I probably wouldn’t return.

Great tasting food and fantastic service, friendly and quick. They found out that it was our honeymoon and gave us a free dessert. Would highly recommend

Booked a table , lucky we did because it was busy. Good menu with dishes I hadn't seen before aswel as the normal curries. Dines chosen a long with a nice bottle of wine. Portion sizes were perfect and the food was excellent. Staff were friendly . The only thing that let it down was the service, it was abut slow, guessing because it was busy! Very good value and very good food.

From the warm welcome to the equally friendly ending to my meal, the whole dining experience was perfect. I went as a solitary diner as part of my birthday week celebrations under COVID19 guidelines. Instead of Florence, I found myself trying out this well established dining haunt for the first time and could not believe that I had been missing out on such an amazing dining treat. The food was served like dishes of art creations and tasted exquisite; layers of spices, mellow tangs of citrus and the most out of this world colours. I even tried a glass of Indian Chenin Blanc which matched my food brilliantly. It was recommended by the waiter and he was proved absolutely right. The restaurant is completely COVID19 compliant but not in an obtrusive manner. I highly recommend this restaurant and shall return to di e there soon.

Out for a Meal with 4 mates. What can I say.... Food and service was excellent.My starter and main course were delicious, full of flavour with a balanced amount of heat. The Cobra lager flowed well and accompanied the great food and company.Revisit is a must and I recommend you give this restaurant a try you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely superb! Excellent food, traditional atmosphere, staff are super and very attentive. Incredibly tender meat - truly delicious.

We have dined here since Montaz has re-opened. It’s very clean and Covid secure. My Mum has developed a liking for the guinea fowl, it is excellent indeed. This last time I opted for the slow cooker ox cheek and opted for some extra chilli to spice it up. It was a really good option. I do enjoy the goat and potato curry and the beef chettinad too. It’s always a good meal at Montaz

I decided to dine out the week after my birthday because my celebratory holiday had been cancelled & when on holiday I would dine out each evening. I chose the Montaz this evening and I was totally overwhelmed by the courteous service when I arrived. The restaurant is COVID-19 compliant to the highest degree. It is an elegant dining room with the tables well spaced to a achieve safe dining experience. I chose calamari pakora with samphire, passion fruit dressing and lemon grass mayonnaise; which was unbelievably good. Light, spicy and utterly delicious. My main course was monkfish tandoor with pilau rice and saag aloo served with the most wonderful kaffir lime, lemon grass, Nilgiri korma sauce. Having never tasted wine from India, I chose Chenin Blanc Maharashata from Sula vineyards. It was a perfect food match. I cannot recomnend the Montaz enough. It is that good.

Really delicious dinner.extremely good sevice. Couldn't of been nicer. Highly recommended

Absolutely fabulous meal, 3 of us had the signature meals and we all agreed it was fabulous, we were very impressed, thank you Montaz so much for a 5 star meal 👍

First visit to this restaurant the other day and it did not disappoint! The Covid secure set up was really good, tables spaced out and very clean, the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. I have food intolerances and they were very accommodating!Would definitely recommend to friends and family and would return if in Newmarket again.

Food not so tasty have had a lot better

We have had several takeaways from Montaz some delivered and some picked up. The food and service has always been first class and by far the best Asian food that I’ve tasted!

We came to Montaz for the first time on a Monday night. It was busy but social distancing being observed, all the staff in masks/ shields etc and the food was delicious. Crispy Kale Chat and the north Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken were both particularly good. Initially we thought the portions looked small but actually there was a lot of meat in the dishes we had so it was plenty. Would definitely recommend

This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The food is really really good. Delicate tastes, well thought out dishes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. it’s an absolute hidden gem in Newmarket and would thoroughly recommend anyone to go the extra mile and travel the extra miles to visit it.

Expensive and dirty toilets.food good.

This is a significant step up from your standard Indian restaurant. It is a bit more expensive, but the food is excellent. We had Goat & Potato Curr, Butter chicken, Lemon & Chilli Rice and Ginger & Honey Naan. It was all great.Good service too. Very accommodating and good safety protocols during Covid.

Extraordinary! Wow ! Incredible! Best meal we have had, to say this was a meal that made myself and my girlfriend question what wizardry was happening in the kitchen is an understatement, this is not just the best , but by far the beat meal we’ve ever had, this is a restaurant that I would drive 100 miles to eat in. I can’t recommend it enough. The flavours took me to a place of wonderment, the service was perfect, I kid you not this is a true 10/10, it should have not just one, but many Michelin stars.

Authentic, flavour packed and classy....Sums up my experiences in just a few words. Consistently delivering great food, with an equally great service. The menu also has some interesting surprises, as well as all the dishes you would expect. I also love that they modify dishes to suit tastes. My go to when I’m craving some spice!

Simple takeaway ordering system. Ready on time. Very good food. Only dropped a star because they cooked the wrong curry and my partner doesn't like coconut. But on the plus side, I got two curries.

Spot on absolutely lovely meal, stayed over in Newmarket after lovely day at Duxford and revived a few restaurants before booking Montaz and can honestly say this is the best Indian meal we have had in three yrs could not fault would highly recommend. Butter chicken a must but all the food was lovely.

Never disappointed! Great food and fantastic service!

We have now been here 3 times and each time it has been really lovely food. If you fancy an Indian meal which is a bit different to the norm then you will enjoy here.Although quite expensive, it is definitely worth a visit. The food is really tasty and the lamb chops are great :). I have also had the scallops but felt that they were too expensive for just 2 scallops, so wont have them again! The duck starter is also really good.There is a wide selection of mains, including venison! All that we have had has been good.We live 30 mins drive from here but it has become our friday evening place to go.We would definitely recommend it.

One of the Best Indian restaurants in the UK, Definitely worth a visit.

We visited on a saturday night. Excellent service and great food. I loved the onion Bhajis and the butter chicken was excellent. Excellent service throughout.

interesting menu with some different choices as well as the usual favourites. We had a enjoyable evening and great service on a busy Saturday.

Excellent food and service. Fully recommend

Very pleasant. Good food. Attentive service.nice to see curry goat on the menu. Nice flavours, but not 'hot'. Surprisingly mild for an Indian.

Excellent quility food and a menu to suit everyone - the usual Indian fare and some less usual. Great, friendly service and very nice space to eat in. Provably the best Indian food in the area.
