Mumbai 27 in Belfast

Food was reasonably nice but service abysmal. Felt like we were rushed through as quickly as possible with no more than 10minutes between starter and main and it was a conveyer belt of customers even with a booking time of 7.30. Plates slammed on the table. Had to remind staff 3/4 times to bring drinks over and told what we would receive as a big group vs any choice from the menu. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a stress free meal, ironic they advertise for waiting staff with experience in hospitality when current staff had none.

Works night out at Mumbai 27 , not your average Indian restaurant with an array of different exquisite al la carte dishes , still a few old favourites but with such a lot more to offer , very busy restaurant and only missing that 5th star due to the servers ( who are all top class btw ) just under so much pressure and struggling to cope with demand . Well worth a visit if in the Cathedral quarter

Long waits, staff don't seem to have a system. Not great customer service.

Meal with family whilst on holiday visit

I am sixty years old. I have dined all over the world. This meal was next level. Not just in the context of Indian cuisine but in that of gastronomy writ large. This chef must be from outer space. We had the prawns, the lamb shank, the chicken jal frezi, rice and garlic nan. Each one of these dishes was unique and superlative. This chef understands how to create a flavor profile of breadth and complexity to which few others can even aspire. I'm not going to attempt to put words to this experience. I'm just going back tomorrow.

Best Indian food in Belfast. Quite expensive with most main curries £16-20 excluding rice, but it was worth it for a treat. Lovely atmosphere and lighting, staff very attentive and quick service

We booked a table in advance and had to wait 30 mins to be seated. One waiter, most likely the head waiter had great service and redeemed the night. The other server had a bad attitude. It was an ok experience, but won't be back.

The food was good, but the service left much to be desired. They served both a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian dish on the same plate, which led to cross-contamination. The tissue paper provided was very small, and none of the staff seemed friendly or welcoming, except for Alam, who was the only one smiling and attentive.

Poor slow service (though it was very busy) and unapologetic over food that was not as described. Noisy and overpriced. Limited menu, and the food I asked for is not what arrived. Highly disappointed and ambivalent, could not be bothered staff.

As I don’t like spicy food I was shocked that there is nothing to order for me. That was the visit with my coworkers. Service really good 👍

Service was mostly good and not like what I was expecting having previously read some reviews about 'rude' waiters. At least 4 different waiters visited our table, and they were mostly polite but one was perhaps a little brisk and abrupt. Food was delicious, great starters, but unfortunately the main courses' portion sizes were barely kid-sized. Rice ordered individually with all four main meals but was served in one medium-sized dish with hardly enough for two people. This was very disappointing and when you order an individual portion that is what you should get without having to worry about taking more than your share from a communal bowl! Very poor value overall for the price (£16 for a medium bowl of rice) but as stated the food was delicious but there simply wasn't enough of it. If you have a small appetite and don't mind paying over the odds this place is perfect for you. Otherwise, I suggest you visit one of the many other fine Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants in Belfast offering better value.

As Cliqued as it sounds if I couldrate it higher than a 5 I would.. We had such a warm welcome at Mumbai 27 compared to some of the rudeness we'd experienced in the french or italian restaurant round the corner. We felt so welcomed and looked after here, it set the scene for a fantastic night. We looked at the strater menu and the waiter suggested a sharing platter between 4 of us. I like it when a waiter is able to reccomend things, it says a lot about an establishment! It was worth it aswell, succlent lamb chops, scallops and venison of all things took center stage on excellently presented array of both traditional and more contemporay takes of indian flavours. I had a vegetarian thali for my main which was superb, but all the other curries my party ordered where similarly exquisite. My partner is not ahuge fan of spicyness and found somthing slightkly akin the a chasney tikka but said it was several levels above anything she'd tried before. All the portion sizes were perfect we left feeling satified but not bloated, next to Massla zone in Convent graden in London I think this is the finest Indian restaurant I can remember eating in, It was an incredible treat and was talked about for the rest of our trip.

Outstanding and authentic Indian food. The thali is authentically Bengali. By far my favourite Indian restaurant in Belfast .

Very nice meal in nice surrounds. Expensive for the portion size the but lamb shank was extremely tender and tasty. I asked for extra spice and it came with a decent tang but not overpowering. Overall a good meal.

To start with, food was good but the waiter ‘JAMAL’ was a pain and had such bad vibe. Very rude and unprofessional. No regard for anyone. The food was good but Jamal’s attitude made the experience really bad. On the other hand Shubo was an amazing person. He made us comfortable and we only sat there because of him. Thanks Shubo.

It exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The food was simply outstanding—each dish was bursting with authentic flavors that took my taste buds on a delightful journey. The desserts, in particular, were a highlight. It's not often you find an Indian restaurant that excels in both the main courses and the sweets, but this place absolutely nailed it. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. The servers were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Their recommendations were spot on, and they ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you’re looking for a truly satisfying dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Excellent service and delicious food. Keep up the good work!!

The murhji jal-jal and roast ka-vera were excellent. Garlic naan was very fluffy. Disappointed that there was no masala tea and the pineapple lassi tasted more like a smoothie than yoghurt.

Amazing food, I mean really fantastic standard and a selection you are unlikely to find elsewhere. It's classy food, extremely well done. The service however is a bit hit or miss.

Went here on Friday 26th July the food is ok but the service is absolutely shocking no customer service skills at all and I for one would never recommend or go back to this place Stay away there are better restaurants in Belfast

Best Indian meal ever Fantastic service and fantastic food Will definitely be Bach when in Belfast again

We booked Mumbai 27 for a 50th birthday dinner with friends. I would just like to thank Alain and all the staff for their attention to detail and excellent customer service. The quality of the food is superb with a vast selection to choose from. All your favourites are catered for along side special Chef recommendations. It is a family run business and you are made to feel welcome immediately. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for a celebration as the private dining room is cosy and intimate.

Don't go here if you are looking for Indian food. This one can't be considered as Indian.Had stomach issues after having food.

Food was ok. Not very tasty and just hot spicy. Service was very poor and waiters were rude even when we gave them a tip. Not sure I would recommend.

Went here with 5 friends, all of us well over 55 and the aggression and contempt from staff was completely unacceptable.

Best Indian food I have had in a long time

Absolutely the freshest, most delicious Indian I have EVER eaten!! Each dish ordered was fantastic. The garlic naan was like eating a cloud.

Food was delicious. Service was great. First time in Belfast and I would definitely recommend. Zaman was our waiter and he was excellent.

Hadn't booked but only waited a few minutes for a table in this extremely busy restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. Food absolutely delicious.

Just visited here recently, I will say the worst restaurant. First of all, the food was no where near Indian cuisine. Just adding some chicken pieces to rice is not called biryani and is not called Indian at all. Secondly, the quantity of any rice item is not even sufficient for one person and when asked they say that its enough for 2 people. The worst restaurant which serves bangladeshi food but say its Indian.

We had attended for a friend's birthday, 10 of us in total and while the service was brilliant and some of the food was very tasty, some of it was either not so good or a very small portion for the price point. Drinks - we had an array of drinks from cocktails, beers and wine. The cocktails were way too sweet and the espresso martinis didn't have a good head which left a bitter taste in your mouth but not in a goid way... See pics. Service - as a former cocktail waiter, when I encounter a bad cocktail I always send it back, which the staff received well, offered a new one which I took but unfortunately was just as bad. The staff were polite, efficient and friendly! Food - we had the chicken Biryani which was divine but the vegetable Jal-Frezi lacked in flavour as did the peshwari naan. The starters were excellent but portion size was very small, more like a tapas portion. Desserts were delicious! Atmosphere - we were seated in a back semi-private room which was dingy at best, no windows for natural light and badly lit but with some better lighting and some fresh paint it could be a beaut of a space! Would I go back - yes but not that room.

I looked at all the 5 star reviews and went to the place but looks like the reviews are fake. This IS NOT an Indian restaurant and the food is no where close to Mumbai. The staff who showed himself as the manager was super rude and asked us to either keep the bottle on the bar table or “Get out”. Not recommended at all!!

Food was below average for the price , plus they try to kick guest out as soon as you even had little left in plates even they have empty places , strange restaurant, not again

Sea brass was really good beers were not

The worst thing is they don't allow kids between 5 and 7 pm. I never hear such a thing anywhere in the world in a restaurant

First class cuisine with excellent service

Probably the best Indian restaurant in Belfast. Recommended. Lamb cooked with spinach was the best!

I don’t know to where to start and how to start. First of all the guys who are eating here just wanted to say that food being served is not Indian cuisine but Bangladeshi food. No one in the world serves you a biryani with potato curry. Moreover they are just adding up chicken pieces in some kind of sona masoori rice and selling it as biryani here. First of all biryani is cooked with basmati rice and starter was also didn’t Upto mark. What I Would like to convey is all those who Irish/British people eating here from all these days are actually eating bangladeshi food not INDIAN FOOD. I would have given 1/2 star if it was there, literally after spending £50 on food you will get kids portion of food. I would really not recommend this place for Indian food lovers.

Nice restaurant with very attentive staff. Went for the 2 course lunch menu with my sister. We both had same starter of potato fritters which came in an edible basket and hot sauce and was delicious. I had the vegetable jalfrezi and she had chicken jalfrezi. Tasty and well presented. Could have done with more rice and less if the jalfrezi but excellent value for £13.95. Nice Chilean white wine for £23. Used to come here years ago for lunch when they did a 2 course lunch for £6 .......changed times but same beautiful food!

Incredible staff, very attentive and friendly. Good was divine. Nice and friendly atmosphere too. Wonderful city centre venue

Food was very nice, but I've had better, there again. I've had far worse. However, we felt extremely rushed, wanted you in, wanted you out ASAP, and that message came across via the staff after the initial pleasantries...If it was my local Indian I wouldn't be returning . Expensive in my opinion, even accounting for city prices. Good job my brother paid.

Quite poor really Ordered onion bhaji starter and was presented with some rubbish processed reformed shapes which were probably out of the freezer and deep fried. Service quite slow (although busy Saturday night). Don't do popadums and keema nan wasn't great. Main course bland and not massive portions. Pleasant staff. Won't be returning. Definitely in my bottom 10% of Indian restaurants visited

Really Good Restaurant and Service. Good selection of food

Was very nice, good prompt and maintaining service. Food was excellent.

First time here and everything was amazing. The staff were so attentive and knew everything about the menu. They were all so polite and friendly. I had the pleasure of speaking with Sagiv who was so kind and made the experience. Will definitely be back and recommending to everyone.

The food is exceptional but there aren't enough stars for the service, I would highly recommend for date night, we made feel like we were the only customers. Will definitely be back!

I don't normally do reviews but feel the need to do one for Mumbai 27 is a must. Firstly the waiter that took our order was rude, I used to be a waiter and would never speak to a customer like i was spoken too. I always show respect to waiting staff but this guy took the biscuit from seating us to taking our order. He was not happy with not taking our order straight after drinks order, which had not arrived.The food itself they are trying to make it fine dining, definitely not fine dining. If you are used to traditional indian/Bangladeshi restaurants than I would suggest find another. The Bhaji starter was so dry it would taken your fillings out. The curries we ordered was the Ghost Saag and Mix Vegetables ( seasonal) they was not fresh. The restaurant does not do Poppadoms or Roti which is a healthier option for some. Service charge is added , we don't mind paying but One would expect good service, chocolate and hand wipes for an automatic service charge added to your bill. I have eat at many Indian restaurants from a back street one to high end ones, and my custom is appreciated, but this place made us feel unwelcome.

The food is very nice but I only get a takeaway and there is no takeaway menu. The price for Takeaway is the same price for sit-in. They should consider a Takeaway menu as there is many reasons why customers choose not to sit in.

Really bad service from the staff who was asian and speaking hindi . We came around 9 o'clock and he was hurry to take orders. We understand they was closing their kitchen but they cant snatch menu from hand and speak rudely(not welcoming at all). We all was really excited to eat good dinner and he was just talking like come and just have it whatever you want that kind of attitude staff had . Unacceptable behaviour and attitude we got from that only one staff . He doesn't know how to give restaurant customers service. Not recommend at all for this kind of customer service. If you cant make it dinner in hurry you can just say we are closed. We can go any other places. But please dont be rude with customer. Because I have my own business in United Kingdom's. Atleast I accept some respect .

Wow! Just everything is good about this restaurant! The people working there are all so kind, and the food is outstanding!!

1st time here, stunning food, as a fan of Indian cuisine, this was up there with some of the best I have tried. Menu a little lacking for choice but what was was of great quality. On street parking after 6pm free, would recommend to book as very busy when I was there. Overall, service a little slow but friendly.

Good service, good food and nice place.

Absolutely amazing. Food was delicious and service terrific. The venison start was really really good.

Really enjoyed a fab Christmas meal here. Food and service is always first class and this visit was just perfect. Well done to the staff and chef.

We didn't expect such amazing food, great service!

Food was delicious, the staff were great, highly recommend

Food was amazing can't fault it. Staff very attentive anything we needed they were there to help. Only downside was the 90s rave music that was deafening when we finished our meals, was a bit odd

Went with friends for a Christmas outings and it was good. Service was good and we didn't have to wait too long. They had a Set menu so we all got a starter and mains and a few sides to share. No complaints about the food but to be honest it was a little on the expensive side I thought. Give it a go.

Food was fantastic excellent service. Only got a 4 because there were no poppadoms. Don't know if this is because it was a Christmas menu 🤔

Great value for money and great food. Beautiful place and lovely atmosphere. Staff are very attentive and Wine,Beer and Cocktail selection 👌

Wonderful experience this weekend! Food was unreal, was stuffed to the brim! Cocktails were lovely. Such lovely staff - will be back!

Food was ok and we cleaned our plates, the issue was we had just finished our Main course and a waiter informed us the party he had booked in for our table were waiting!!! While there were 2 tables who had finished, beside us were sitting having drinks? Didnt even get a chance to look at the dessert menu!!! Very rushed and it was quite noisy. Wouldnt rush back! Cost them two £20 vouchers as one of our party complained!

Good was great, the staff were very friendly, it’s a slightly crowded venue which means it’s noisy. But still a very good place to eat at.

Overpriced food, have to pay separately for your sides. When I received my bill the guy Sat beside me until it was paid, really made to feel uncomfortable.

Service : Three of us were here to have our dinner. Islam was the one who took our order. He was so so arrogant while taking the orders, he was not even ready to tell the ingredients and contents of the dishes. One of our friends was keen in knowing the contents in the dish as she was allergic to few of the ingredients. And the exact statement he made "this is what we have - whatever you see in the menu". He didn't have the minimum patience to listen to our enquiries. After reporting this incident, another waiter was assigned for us and he was very polite and respectful. He clearly mentioned the available and suitable dishes for us. One of my friends was still having the dinner and other two of us had completed. The same waiter Islam again came and started cleaning the table though one of our friends was still having dinner. We felt like he was waiting for us to get out of the hotel. Food : Mumbai street food was awesome. Veg biriyani tasted amazing😍. Garlic nan and vegetable lavra was good.

Update (November 2023): as great as ever, love this place! Delicious Indian restaurant in the trendy Cathedral Quarter area of Belfast city centre. I went with workmates and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi and loved it - highly recommended if you like a strong spicy kick in your curry like me. We got shared rice and naan bread for our table. Incredibly fast service - we had drinks within five minutes of sitting down and food within 20 minutes. Very impressive. Very friendly staff are happy to help in whatever way they can, whether that be a query about the menu or another drink. The prices are very reasonable also. Good location, excellent food and great staff - what more could you want? Highly recommended!

THE worst level of service I have ever experienced ANYWHERE. ZERO warmth, sniggering, disrespect, rushed 'service', no apologies for not having dishes available that were the reason I had come. You have no IDEA how TERRIBLE the staff here are, especially the one who looks like Count Dracula. AVOID at ALL costs!!!!!

Food ok. Too noisy. Service manic. Not for us.

A fantastic experience from the warm and lovely greeting at the door, to the waiting staff... Attentive professional and obviously happy to be there. Then the food, I count on one hand the great Indian restaurants I have been into and this has to be one off them. Delicate dishes, cooked with skill, style and thought, everything was perfect!

Too dark limited menu for a indian but what I requested was givin.. wine lovley food lovley service quick but literaly couldn't see the menu or my food

Not the taste of India I was expecting. Great service but bland food.

Indisches Restaurant in zentraler Lage, um die Ecke sind angesagte, moderne Pubs, vor der Tür eine größere Kirche. Im Restaurant ist es Recht eng, die zwei-Personen-Tische mit durchsichtigen Gardinen getrennt. An der Wand sind typisch historisch-indische Frauendarstellungen, das as WC ist sauber und allgemein ist die Einrichtung wertig. Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Die Auswahl ist überschaubar, aber die typischen Gerichte sind vorhanden. Die Soßen sind genau richtig scharf für einen Europäer, es zieht durch die Nase, aber für Zunge brennt nicht. Das Nan-Brot ist frisch und zart, wer mit Knoblauch bestellt, wird nicht enttäuscht. Die Bedienung ist freundlich, besonders zuvorkommend ist sie aber nicht, ergo ok.

Brilliant restaurant. Beautiful food. Staff brilliant

Good service, nice atmosphere quick and efficient with great food

Large work night out with 30 colleagues, set it up with a long banquet table and it worked really well, food was spot on and atmosphere was great , excellent night.

Food was fantastic (got the cheese starter, garlic naan, and shrimp coconut curry with extra spice). The staff were very attentive and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. Excellent vibes (lighting, seating arrangements, curtains between tables for privacy). Would definitely go back!

Wildly overpriced and rude service. £16.95 for one of the cheaper dishes of chicken in sauce with no sides - plus £3.50 for plain basmati rice or £4.50 for chips.

We popped in here to get a quick bite before a gig nearby and ordered two cocktails. Once we realised sides were around £4-6 on top of mains costing £14-17 and cocktails close to £10 per person, we decided we would head on after the drinks, and staff immediately went from abrupt to extremely rude, hostile and heckling. Completely unnecessary when we were planning to leave immediately anyway, so in the end we paid more or less £20 for the privilege of two (average) cocktails and 5 minutes sitting at a table, and being chased out the door by an angry waiter when there was no more money to be squeezed out of us. Terrible service, wouldn't recommend, won't be back.

I've been here a few times and never once had a bad experience. The food is incredible, they even made me a dish that wasn't on the menu at no extra cost, and the waiters are incredibly attentive.

Fantastic restaurant, highly recommended, highlight of our visit to Dublin. Monkfish esp good. Open 5-7 pm only so be aware

Food was good! Unfortunately, the poor service is the taste left in my mouth. Our server was abrupt, unwelcoming and quite frankly miserable. Sadly, a disappointing experience.

First visit and most definitely the last. Staff were rude and had no time for you at all. Everything was a hassle. They got the order completely wrong. Did supposedly change it to again supposedly what we ordered but the meal.came back exactly the same colour and consistency with different vegetables. Was extremely busy but that is no indication of how good their food is or their staff. NOT worth a visit in our opinion!!

Great atmosphere, kind staff, amazing food. Thank you for an outstanding meal! Staff accommodated us without a booking, and helped us decide which meals to choose. Amazing dinner!

The food was delicious, Zaman and the team were great hosts and we would definitely come back on our next trip to Belfast

Amazing food quality lamb shank on bone

The food is really good although you have to wait for a while but it is worth it.

Food was lovely, really enjoyed it. But the service was not great. Found the waiter to be quite rude.

The food was good but the service was soo bad that when we asked for desert menu they asked us to leave as they wanted that table for a reservation. I do work in hospitality I know how things work but telling customers in between the meal to leave is soo rude, unacceptable and unprofessional. If the table was for reservation they could have said that before allotting that table to us. We were very unhappy with the staff and the way they treated us.

Shocking prices for a carry out. Completely my fault as I ordered the meal, paid by tap-and-go without looking properly at the amount, and realised afterwards how much I had paid. I'm blaming it on the Guiness. I realised pretty well straight away, and I could have gone back to cancel the order, but couldn't be doing with the hassle of organising a refund and trying to find a different Indian. You tell me. Here's the order and say if you think it's too much. 2 x chicken tikka starters 2 x rogan josh & rice 1 x naan Go on, how much you reckon? Take a guess. £25? £30 tops? No, £58. Yes £58 actual pounds! And they didn't even have a disposable fork to eat it with. Bottom line: was the meal super dooper for that amount? Not really. OK, but I can make a better one at home. I know, I know, my fault for not cancelling when I had the chance but it was the Guiness making me hungry so it seemed a good idea at the time. Bad Guiness.

Bonne cuisine. Personnel très sympathique, très/trop présent ! Par contre, les tables sont très rapprochées et le restaurant est extrêmement bruyant.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. The food was fabulous, as was the service. Islam was particularly attentive. Overall a great experience.

Love, love, love this place. This was our 2nd visit and it won’t be our last. Yes, as others have said, the waiters are quick to ask for a drinks order, but I wouldn’t say they were pushy, I’d say attentive. I had the scallops for starters, which were hot, but the depth of flavours was fantastic. I had the monkfish for my main, which was sweet and juicy. The restaurant was quite quiet when we went in at 7.00 on a Tuesday evening, but by the time we left, the place was full and absolutely buzzing. I never felt rushed at any time, in fact, we had to ask for our bill twice. Loved the food, loved the service.

Arrived opputunisticly and got a window seat. Really quick service. Amazing vegetarian food Loved it

As an Indian can verify that this place had better tasting food compared to Nu Delhi which seems to be extremely popular in Belfast

Not authentic indian food, it's more of Bangladeshi cuisine just like majority of the Indian restaurants run in the UK. Just giving Mumbai name to the restaurant doesn't make it indian food. Garlic naan was not freshly made, felt like supermarket bought n heated. Veg main dish was terrible, it was more of stir fry few vegetables with lots of masala but no taste n no salt to it. Only acceptable thing was steamed rice I would say. Bad experience overall on a bank holiday evening.

Had a wonderful meal here recently whilst staying over due to a cancelled flight. Food was exceptional - I had the lamb shank. Highly recommended!

Possibly the pushiest, least effective service I have ever experienced. The waiter asked for our drink orders before we had even got our jackets off, then again a minute later. Didn’t bother mentioning that what we assumed were placemats were in fact a la carte menus, until we asked if there were any alternatives to the “specials” menu on display. Plates whipped away the moment they were cleared and more pushy “will you have dessert?” (dessert menu produced after we said we’d think about it). The place was only half full, there was no need to hurry us up this way! A chicken curry, a half portion of chickpea curry (both mediocre), one naan, one beer, one wine and one ice cream came to £70. I felt robbed.

This restaurant came up on our google search. Glad we went in for our dinner. It was one of the best food we had in a long while. Everything was above our expectations from there customer service to food, ambiance . The owner was extremely friendly and cheerful. He served us complimentary drinks and even showed us around his restaurant/ kitchen.

Owner mistreats the staff and are very rude, wages are paid late and are also miscalculated

Good place to eat. The food is good.
