Mumbai Central in Bromley

Very friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Lovely Indian food with a twist at a reasonable price. We felt well looked after.

We had the fortune of visiting ‘Mumbai Madness’ this evening. The restaurant has recently changed its name from Mumbai Central and is under new management. The name change caught our eye and convinced us to try it out, and I am glad we did; the food was awesome. We had the prawn mirchi masala and the punjab chicken, and both dishes were exquisite. The waiting staff were very polite and attentive. The new Manager Venky is charming and welcoming. Loving the interior decor and stunning photos of Mumbai. Also like the fact they play authentic music which adds to the ambience. If I had one suggestion, it would be that they should offer a complimentary spirit after the meal, as the other Indian restaurant on the high Street does. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We will definitely go back. A great addition to Hayes High Street :-)

Decided on a takeaway ~ online service. Was met by charming staff the only good part of the experience. The food was hardly warm and quite tasteless. The prawns were only partially peeled ~ a new experience for us in Indian food. What a shame, quite a waste of money and will not be going again. I did direct message the restaurant but, no reply.

1st time in this restaurant which we chose as it was open on Boxing Day and will definitely return.Staff were great and the food was amazing.Spicing was excellent and we had a variety of dishes between us, all excellent. The paneer dish I had as a main course was the best I’ve had.

Was there Tuesday night with a friend for first time. Starters of chilli prawns and Lamb were excellent. If the main course of Lamb are as good as the starter I will be ordering Lamb next time. Chicken main courses and sides good as well. Excellent service.

The name has been changed to Mumbai Madness under new management now. Visited today with my family. I have been before when it was Mumbai central. The experience was very good today. We were greeted nicely when we reached and informed that on Sundays they only do Set menu's which we were not aware of but were OK with it. Was explained very well what all it includes. Choice of a starter, papadoms, main dish n a side along with Nan or rice. The server made some good suggestions. Food arrived quickly after we ordered. Loved the food. Very tasty, good servings and it was very warm when served. The serving staff were great. Would definitely return.

Came here with my wife for an early dinner. We were seated promptly and given menus, fine. But the food took quite a while to arrive. But when it did it was really very good, the only positive part about this experience. The problem was, when we had finished it, they didn't clear our plates away- they were left in front of us for more than half an hour. And we had to ask for the bill several times before we finally got it. There only seemed to be one poor woman serving the entire restaurant, whilst the 'manager' just strode around the restaurant with his hands in his pockets, doing nothing. They forgot to add one of our food items to the bill, but that just shows how lacking they are in being organised and diligent, not our problem. We won't return.

Loved loved loved the food! Perfect indian flavors, and tempting food presentation. They were so sweet to wish us with a special anniversary dessert. The staff is pleasant, attentive and offer wonderful service. Mumbai Central is a must visit for an Indian treat.

Only the best restaurants have mashed aubergine and black dhal…. This one has both and both delicious. Can’t wait to go back !!!

Mumbai Central have really upped their game. We've eaten in and we've had delivery and the food has been faultless. Everything is absolutely packed with flavour and the correct amount of heat. The Mixed Grill is a thing of wonder and unreal value for money. I am dreaming of my next visit!

Absolutely lovely Father’s Day meal. All agreed it was the best meal we have had in a long time. Something for everyone. 10/10 will be back :)

I have been lucky enough to eat at plenty of delicious Indian restaurants in my time but I have to say that this place had one of the most tastiest menus that I have come across. We had just mains and I’m glad we did! Generous portion sizes meant we were not left hungry. The food tasted fresh and mouth-wateringly delicious. The waiters were extremely polite and humble. The food is well-priced, there is an attractive interior and great atmosphere. I can’t wait to go again!

Arrived on spec at 6.45pm 4/11 said we could have a table. No form to fill in or covid app. Waited 20 minutes then asked if we wanted to order, hadn’t even been given a menu. Ordered drinks and starter came not too bad. When main course came side order missing took ages to come. Asked for more drinks had to remind three times. People on next table had their coats on ready to leave and pay for their drinks as no one had come to take his order. Will NEVER darken their doors again.

we are regular visitors in mumbai central but i must say the service and customer care has gone down so badly in this place . Very less staff (one waiter for all the tables and the manager) long wait for the orders and had to explain every single time what we ordered. Since the previous manager changed we dont feel like going there.. he was very friendly and customer oriented . we had to ask few times for the papadams which use to be complimentary before. felt like the restaurent has become very money oriented rather than customer .. hope things get better moving forward.

Awesome food, authentic Indian cuisine with excellent service. Every time I went for dinner, had a great experience of dining. Staff excel in services and well trained. One of the best food in Hayes and of course whole in Bromley.

‘Eat out to help out’ turned into ‘cram as many of you in and not give any care or personal touch!’I guess alarm bells should have rung when I was able to book a table on the night during this government scheme...wish I hadn’t !Full of trainee staff trying their best, but nobody guiding or directing them.Tables crammed in, no consideration to social distancing.Took over an hour and a half to receive starter.Although one waiter did come over after nearly 2 hours to see how we were, his excuse was the fact they were busy and had trainees. He offered to take off the price of the starter, but when the bill came this wasn’t honoured.The only time the manager appeared interested in us was when we were finished, he thrust the bill our way and wanted the table cleared to accommodate more customers who were queuing outside.This was a family reunion meal, first time we were able to be together since lockdown. My son often eats at this restaurant which is why we went, he was embarrassed at the service, quality and told us the portions were smaller than normal.Eat out to help out has not worked here as we will NOT be back and being Hayes residents do support local businesses- but sorry, not here any more!

I booked this restaurant for myself and three friends last week. After being shouted at for being ten minutes late we didnt get our meal for over an our and a half. I had to ask for poppadums to stave off the hunger as they hadnt been offered. The restaurant is run by a very disorganised and rude manager and staffed by very young and untrained waiters. We had to give our order twice as it had not gone to the kitchen the first time. The diners either side of us had also been waiting for up to two hours, with no apology or explanation. When the food finally arrived it was, at best, acceptable. Unfortunately a memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. We will not be returning.

went for the second time after we had a wonderful first experience and it were shocked to get something opposite to our first visit . It look like the management has changed and the new does not care about the standards of service . the service was so bad that my friend had to get up and go pick up cutlery for our mains from their service station at the back. we spoke to the manager and was shocked to find such an arrogant person that only cares for money .Food was acceptable but for the kind of service and experience we had the place was TOOOOO EXPENSIVE . And did not understand what they charge 10 % service charge for …….

Couldn’t give it a 1 star because the food was edible. The poor kids serving had no training or direction. Not their fault. Service was appallingly bad. It’s the kind of place you’d recommend to someone as a joke. If Ricky Gervais did restaurant parody’s it wouldn’t be in Slough, it would be in Hayes.

This is my second visit to the restaurant . because we had an excellent experience last time we decided to try it again and it turned up to be a disaster. looks like the management has changes and the new ones just don't care .We where two families with children and they managed to put a big group of young guys next to us who where really loud and very filthy language. non of the staff seemed to be bothered to tell them to behave . I had to go and talk to the manager in the bar counter to speak to the group to be quite and mind their language as families with kids where around .The service was absolutely awful no one to take care of the guests . We had our initial drinks delayed and we had to keep following it up several times. when the drinks came witch where mocktails and cocktail . there was no garnish or any decoration . the 9£ drink looked as if jusc pored in a random glass and given . no one asked us for a second round of drinks . No Napkins on the table . No cutlery given with the mains. No one to clear the tables . basically for anything we have to get hold of a waiter . Even the food order was served wrong . we ordered a mixed fried rice and we got a mushroom rice .And to finish with we had two curries a rice and few nan left which we want to take away . first the waiter came back and told because of the eat to help offer its the government policy that they cant do take out . when i questioned it the manager came and told as the takeaway containers cost his company he will not do takeaway. We where quite shocked as this was food which we had paid for ad for curries which they charge 10.00£ they can give a .20 p container. The manager always seemed to be around the bar counter and was never once seemed checking what was happening on the tables .our bill for 4 adults and 3 kids came to 200.00£ and that is not cheap for any restaurant . and there was the eat out discount which the restaurants gives you as if they are doing some big favour to you. For the kind of experience and service we got we felt that a good evening and money was wasted

We had visited the restaurant when it first opened and had a lovely meal but had not yet used for a takeaway. We decided to take advantage of the collection discount offer especially as the restaurant are generously supporting NHS workers during the COVID19 crisis. This is fantastic to see. The food was ready quickly, large portions and excellent quality. It’s nice to see a fairly unique menu offering traditional dishes from India. You can get the usual traditional dishes, chicken tikka was excellent. We recommended trying and will be going back.

Ordered veg noodles and poppadoms. Poppadoms were stale and veg noodles were mushy and extremely spicy. Ended up in the bin.

My husband raves about this restaurant. I actually was disappointed. My lamb shaslik dish was very high in salt content. I’ve had better!

We were all looking forward to having a curry together. Mumbai Central was new to us. We were all very disappointed. Mango chutney and onion salad were weird tasting. The curries - 4 different were awful. Chicken overcooked . Prawns added to curry not marinated as stated in menu. Awful after taste. Potatoes hard in saag also.Well overpriced despite them taking of three mains. Definitely would not go back.To be fair to them we are used to Bangladeshi curries.

I looked online for a place not so far from us. The website drew my attention. I knew the place but never stepped in. The restaurant is a gem: clean, elegant, with staff always attentive. And the food...freshly made and delicious, taking us for a few hours on a journey to incredible India. Prices, both for drinks and food are fair. Don't go by, enter and have your experience. Is worth it!

Went for a dinner with another family . We felt very welcome as soon as we walked in . The ambiance was really pleasant. The menu had good choice. The food was really different, not the regular Bangladeshi bland British curries . The dishes where full of flavour and had a authentic indian taste. Altogether had a great experience. Had some good drinks as well . The bar staff even made out of the drinks list for us .

We haven’t been for a while but we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was warm and the staff are very attentive. The food, as usual, is amazing. The flavours are truly authentic and fresh. I would say this is now my favourite Indian eatery.

My wife, 2 sons and I visited for a Sunday buffet - the staff were amazing, in particular the manager who gave us a free cocktail, was very polite and accommodated is in every way he could. The price was unbelievable we had 2 cokes, lemonade, pint of cobra, 2 nans, 6 poppadoms and dips, 3 mains, 3 rice, 2 sides and 2 starters all for £41, even for a buffet that price was amazing. Service charge was only £3 and I offered what was going to be a very substantial tip which was kindly rejected, the manager exclaimed he would rather our returned custom. Even though it was a buffet all food was cooked to order, in traditional Indian style (rather than a Bangladeshi curry house) meat was cooked marinated and spiced separate to the sauce and then mixed. Starters and sides were plated up and presented beautifully. Drinks were not overpriced and staff were not pushy to get any extra monies out of us (as I said they even gave us a free cocktail!!), there were plenty of drinks to choose from and loads of tasty cocktails to order.Unlike traditional buffets the food was not left out on trays but cooked to order like I said, not only this but usually there is a fixed menu at a buffet if not laid out; however the manager let us choose whatever we wanted from the menu for all courses. He said that it was too hard to compete with the traditional British Sunday lunch so wanted to make the meal as enjoyable as possible.The restaurant itself was very modern, decorated beautifully and looked amazing. No expense has been spared with steam fireplace in the window, to the centre partitions filled with water with colourful lights and bubbles inside which the children loved. They also had amazing glass canvases on the wall with lights behind which looked great.Cutlary and glasses were all polished, plates and hot plates were all roasting hot and had interesting designs. The music was to taste, not the authentic Indian music which although does set a great scene it was nice to go for an indian with classic tunes to have a sing too... it was very in keeping with the decor.We do not ever write reviews and certainty would not in this much detail but our experience here was so amazing that we had to write something. We could not complain about one part of it - and again the manager was unreal and went above and beyond to make a random Sunday meal after Sunday football into an amazing experiance,Thank you Naz!

This was a great find. DELICIOUS food presented beautifully on the plate. Lamb was so tender with a perfect balance of spices. Takka dhal and aubergine sides are a must...yum. Service was outstanding. Thanks so much.

Went out for a curry evening with my wife decided to go to Mumbai Central we hadn't been for awhile. Not sure if it is under a new team, different staff, and the menu whilst mostly the same, has been extended to include Pan Asia. However we found what we liked on the menu, and if anything seemed to be one notch better than last time. Certainly the service was quicker, something that at other times before, we found to be a bit too slow, having said that had the restaurant been packed could understand. The food was excellent well presented and prepared also good value for money, don't mind paying a little more for a better meal I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good curry night in Hayes, and without naming others not so noisy even when full so you can enjoy a conversation with your party. Give it a try, I feel your enjoy itLooking forward to going back there again in the near future .

We really enjoyed the food at Mumbai central and will definitely be returning. Much better than most of the other Indian restaurants in the Bromley area.

Used to be the Kosturi, and the décor is very similar. We had the place to ourselves on a Sunday evening between 5.30 and 7, so no surprise that the service was efficient. The food was very tasty, with some more unusual dishes. The prices were about average, but I do think that 12.5% service charge added to the total is a bit steep.

Just had the most delicious evening st Mumbai Central. The food was delicious and so much of it. The lamb was succulent and I won’t want to eat if anywhere else now. Service very friendly whilst remaining professional. Paul Brown (Guitarist) was extra special. Will be back soon. Highly recommended and good value for money. Caroline O’Mara

Having booked our table we were met with a smile at the restaurant.

We were taken here by friends and had a fantastic meal, nice to have Indian food full of lovely flavours and not swimming in oil. Restaurant is nicely set out and the decor Lois light and contemporary. I really enjoyed the Punjabi Kukkar which I had for my main

Been a few times now and been meaning to write a quick review. Absolutely amazing dining experience. Couldn't be happier every time we've been. Wholly recommended!

Food arrived late and stone cold. Starters mediocre, Chennai Lamb Chettlnad VERY salty, very disappointed for an expensive meal. 1st and last time here!

Ask for the coconut rice, it was heavenly, food overall was fantastic and we really enjoyed the decor and the ambiance, highly recommend

Decided to try this restaurant last night was certainly not disappointed.food excellent and the staff could not have been more friendly.will most definitely be back .

Really nice.try this restaurant really freash food.something a bit different.Indian street food Included in the menu . Nice staff friendly and helpful. Amazing special things to come we have just been told.

We visited this restaurant last night and were pleasantly surprised by the menu. They have some street food dishes like Gup Chup and Sev papdi chat which you don’t come across much outside central London. It was nice to try something different than the bog standard dishes. The food was very tasty and seemed authentic and very fresh. As a vegetarian there was a great choice and they were very helpful and accommodating to our friend who is lactose intolerant.

Went to this restaurant with friends and had reserved a table which upon our arrival was not ready. The restaurant was packed and very noisy - we were politely sat down in the foyer whilst we waited. It was obvious that they were struggling to cope as the bar work surface was overloaded with glasses and staff were looking flustered.

I have had takeaways twice from here and it's always been good. They have also been accomodating when I have ordered late in the evening.

A few already established curry houses to choose from in Hayes so this one needs to bring something good to the table.

Been to this restaurant twice since it opened. Food is wonderful, beautifully presented and the menu is varied. Staff are very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Some of the dishes are a little different to the usual Indian menus. Definitely will return

We were a party of 4 trying this restaurant for the first time midweek. I found all the staff to be extremely helpful in explaining the menu choices. The chef spiced up one dish for us and also made a ‘hot’ dish into a medium one for us. The Kemer naan and the onion bhajis were delicious and we all commented on how fresh the meals tasted (including the poppadoms). I think I have a new favourite Indian restaurant.

Just visited this new curry restaurant which is one of three within 100yds. Curry was absolutely fine as I have always found with the other two. What was different was the price. Very expensive in my opinion . I would check the prices before you visit .

Probably because this is just outside London it seems expensive to us visiting from the Cotswolds. My Goan fish curry was lovely but a lot at £11.95. Most traditional curries were £9.95 - at home would be more like £8. Still it was a good meal out with family and we will no doubt go again.

We went there when it first opened and it was great then. Now although the food is good the staff has been changes. My little girl loved the girl that previously worked there, now the staff is just rude.

Like the previous reviewer, I would give 4.5 stars if I could. The food was fabulous and so different to most of the other Indian restaurants. The only criticism was the soft papadums that they served. With a couple of beers each, the bill came to £36 per person.

Really enjoyed our time at the mumbai. The staff were nice. Varied menu choices with lots of flavour. And lovely surrounds. We sat with our back to wall. And unfortunately vibrations and noises through the wall from the boxing gym next door did annoy us a little. But this is minor compared to the overall experience. Would recommend and would def come back again.
