Mumbai Inn in Leicester

Early evening though quiet the welcome and service excellent..attentive just as needed. Gurkha hot skillet dish chicken/lamb/prawn had with just the meats... wonderfully rich, subtle spices and nicely aromatic with mushroom pilau and peshwari naan. All lovely, a bit different, and no offence taken at me saying naan surface was a bit oily on the fingers. Will be repeating before next De Montfort Hall gig.

Service was excellent. Food to die for. Waiters knew everything about the food and how to order to taste. The restaurant came recommended by our hotel The Belmont and it didn’t disappoint.

Stopping over we decided to eat here, it looked good and had a good reputation as well. We ordered Cobra beers, poppadoms with chutney and mains. All delicious, nicely presented and came in good time. Deserts were served in lovely crafted pots. Staff very attentive, good value for money.

Food, nothing special. Not somewhere I’d recommend or go back to. What really annoyed me was a large coke!! (Half a pint) was £4.15. When I questioned the staff just got shrugged shoulders n said that what we charge and it’s a large coke!! Please see pic…

Staff were attentive. Service was quick and efficient. Food was amazing quality best curry I've had in years next time in Leicester will definitely revisit.

Driver sat IN a residential address for 15min+ on the tracking map before setting off to my place- from which point they actually made good time. Blamed 'traffic' (lol no). Food great once reheated and restaurant CS when I phoned them was brill.

Great ambience, delicious food.

Best Indian restaurant in Leicester.

Excellent food, excellent service a great evening.

An absolutely perfect meal. We all chose the Nepalese options, starters and mains were delicious, this was definitely the best Indian Restaurant we have ever been to. The friendly service was impeccable. We do not live in the area but if we are in Leicester again, we will definitely go back.

Ordered a chicken tikka masala and a butter paneer. Food was very bland but most outrageous was the paneer was in the same masala as the chicken tikka with a slice of butter placed on top of the paneer!! This is not a butter paneer!!! This is fast food and definitely not authentic!!

Please do not order poppadom (poppadom) or any food there. because if you do not finish Poppadom Chutney, they will take it inside reaming chutney, mix it again, and serve the same chutney to the next guest. If you carefully watch the reception, they will do so openly behind the bar door. That's why they will serve fast poppadom and chutney.

Beauty of an image and character are different subjects. When reviewing a restaurant, it is important to consider not giving wages to workers and showing rude behavior towards them. Such behavior directly impacts the beauty of a restaurant. Mumbai inn please don't show this behaviour to those innocent woker who work you there for your business .such a harrasing and exploiting behaviour is not adjused for your business .Good luck if you can.👎️👎️👎️

Had a lovely meal there and the service was brilliant.

Bad atmosphere Waiting time is too long The price is too high and the food quality is totally bad next day got loosemotions Stomach pain Never advice to anyone 👎👎

Our first visit to Mumbai Inn was quite disappointing. We had high hopes for good service and quality food, but the experience fell short on several fronts. We ordered a couple of starters and a few curries with bread. Firstly, the quantity of the starters was quite insufficient. To make matters worse, they did not serve any chutney or sauce with the starters. When we inquired about this, the waiter informed us that they do not provide any sauce with starters unless specifically requested, and even then, we were charged extra for it. This is unlike other restaurants where sauce is usually complimentary with starters. The curries took an unusually long time to arrive. Additionally, we ordered extra naans, which also took a considerable amount of time to be served. There was no one attending to our table, and I had to go to the bar counter myself to request service. The staff behaved as if they were doing us a favor by serving us, and their attitude was quite rude. Overall, the service was very poor, and the staff's behavior left much to be desired. I would not recommend Mumbai Inn to anyone. Save your money and time.

Love this place! Great food, beautiful service with a smile, and bespoke dishes to suit discerning diners. Highly recommended 👌

Service is good because poor students are working hard, but the owner does not pay them for 3 months and abuses them as well.

Nice central location, good food and attentive staff - the platter was excellent VFM

Arrived for our table at 7pm. Party of 4. Didn’t order starters and got our main course at 845pm. Drinks service was also very slow. Attitude of waiting staff didn’t help , very brusque. Obviously stressed . Clearly not enough chefs to cope. Totally unacceptable. Food on the other hand was excellent as it has been on previous visits but they clearly cannot cope with a full house so we will not be going back.

Just had a takeaway lamb curry with naan bread from there. Absolutely dreadful. It tasted awful abd had way tooo much oil. Not worth even half the price....yuck!

We had a lovely evening and curry experience here. The place is a little tired but I guess it turns lots of tables being in a prime London Road spot. Regarding the food, the menu was pretty standard Indian food and it came as ordered and in a timely manner. We had to park down near New Walk as there wasn’t any parking closer to the restaurant. The parking wardens were on the prowl so be warned !

As I am new to city and I am student. I was searching for a part time job and I went in there twice but both time his attitude was too much he literally showed me as I was came to talk to him (the manager ) . Restaurant is a service line he can simply be gentle and at least talk and say sorry no vacancy instead he pointed at the door way out very quickly that's tooo rude and I don't don't how he deals with the customer. I hope he does better with customer than me. I am literally sorry to be so personal but it's is rude to be behave in such a way to struggling student with the part time job I uk .

Quite possibly the nicest curry I’ve had in years. The service was amazing! So friendly helpful and the food was prompt. I can not wait to come back would highly recommend

Very nice Indian, very tasty food. Lamb balti was delicious, and the garlic naan was really nice. Great service too

Great curry, good service and friendly staff

Curry houses in Leicester when it's an evening Tigers home game are all going to be in demand, but all the other ones we've tried seem to cope with a pre-match influx. Not the Mumbai Inn, it seems. Whether it was greed in taking far too many early evening bookings or just chaotic management, our evening was not great . The table wasn't ready on time, the staff were trying to slow things down so the kitchen could cope, half of our party of 6 couldn't have their first menu choice as we were told that these dishes ' took too long' to prepare, so they'd decided not to offer them that night, and when we complained about the eye-watering raw onion served with 2 dishes, ( and nothing else!) the waiter seemed un- empowered to pass on this comment to the management, so on top of waiting 70 minutes for our food, no-one came and apologised. Result ? 6 unhappy diners who won't be returning and I suspect several more at other tables who I observed leaving their meals half eaten in order to get to the match start.

Was staying local and found this restaurant at the end of the street, with it being early doors (17:30) I was the frist customer. the restaurant is bright warm and welcoming, the staff give plenty of time to veiw the menu. The food was very tasty with lots of flavours , price wise and found it to be value for money , was expecting more with it being on a main road near the town centre.

Great food great decorations great service however lots of waiting for the food to arrive and the quantity of the food is one portion so one person can only eat it so that was not so good but the taste of the food was amazing. Must try this restaurant.

Called in for something to eat before a concert, having not eaten all day! asked for a korma with just a little bit of spice added seeing they didnt do a pasanda, it came back a full medium spiced dish of which i couldnt eat more than a mouth full! when i complained and said it had been made too spicy the only reply i got was "do you want some salt or yogurt for it!!! no i wanted it replacing for something that i asked for initially but they never even offered to, i complained again and they took it back for the chef to taste and YES they admitted it was made to a medium heat dish and still no offer to replace it .... and to add insult they wanted to charge for it too, so no dinner for me that evening either!! Appalled and disgusted by the lack of customer service of "an award winning restaurant" !! "next time we get it right" i was told! never in a million years would i return nor recommend to anyone!!! get your act together and give some customer service Mumbai!!!!

The food is lovely,and the staff are very friendly and welcoming,the prices are decent too,can’t wait to visit again

Me and my Husband love this restaurant staff are very friendly food is very good I struggle with spices but I can always find something to eat

Really friendly restaurant popular with locals too. Some different choices on the menu which we enjoyed. Would recommend.

Distrusting food, tasteless worse curries in Leicester. Rudest owner who clearly can’t take criticism and needs and attitude change. He needs to sort himself out otherwise he will be left with no customers. Decor outdated. Avoid this place Shimla pinks next door much nicer and friendlier.

I met up with a load of old work colleagues/friends last night, not leaving the pub until late, and we decided to see if anywhere was open where we could get a curry. We made it to Mumbai Inn at around 11:45pm, and although it was due to close at midnight, they let the six of us in without complaint, were very courteous and pleasant, were prompt with the service (we agreed to be quick in return for allowing us in), and served up the best curry I have tasted in years. All of us were extremely happy with our orders and the excellent hospitality. Will definitely return. Thank you.

We just happened to walk past this place and decided to try. We were not disappointed. The service us excellent and the food is exceptional. I highly recommend this place.

It is my 1st visit here.The restaurant itself is huge and nice inside.We had a warm welcome with all the staff being friendly and inviting.We ordered poppadoms and pickles then had a starter and mains with rice and nan and chapati.Also 5 alcolic drinks and 2 coffees.The bill was just over 100 pound which I thought was reasonably priced.The food was quite tasty.Didnt have any complaints about the food, but it wasn't really delicious.However would come back again. Parking is a bit hit and miss though.

Staff wonderful and polite. Food was beautiful 😍

Good food but little bit overpriced

Just a cracking place beautiful food and atmosphere. Our first time loved it so much came back and was immediately recognised by staff saying thankyou for the great review. I as usual has Momo starter, n my partner had chicken shashlik. We then went onto chicken madras and chicken kahria I think. The peshawari naans are the best. The service here impeccable. I think it will be a regular haunt for us. Couldn't recommend enough. Brilliant service from everyone.

We travel from Aylesbury to visit our son in Leicester and always head for the Mumbai. Love the food.

Excellent food, and a great experience 👍

A regular haunt of mine when I was staying over on business in Leicester before the pandemic, I was curious to know how the restaurant had fared on my return to the city after 4 years, this time with my wife on a social trip. The signs were good from the start - the same friendly staff, relaxed ambience - and it was very pleasing to note that the Mumbai Inn is continuing to serve food of the same high quality. A particular longstanding favourite of mine is the seafood miss mass and I was delighted that my recommendation of this dish to my wife turned out to be a good one. I opted for the matcha masala, and it too hit all the right notes. For a top quality Indian meal in a very comfortable and welcoming restaurant, I cannot recommend the Mumbai Inn highly enough.

We love a good indian, and googled recommendations, most didn't cater to our tastes. I like to experience different things, my partners a madras vindaloo person. We sat down looked at menu, ordered starters, Momo for me, omg divine, and Prawn puri for my partner. Mains were chicken madras, aloo, keema naan, I ordered lamb gurkhali pilau rice and peshawari naan. Omg again beautiful cooking, flavours amazing, my naan had actually seen the inside of the tandoor and had charred bits, of which I love, and the inside didn't crumble and fall out every where, the lamb was sooo tender, the sauce, I could taste every spice, food made with love and care. My partner loved his Madras too of which I had to sample of course. We've found a great Indian at last as most just do jalfrezi korma madras or tikka masala. Others food looked great too. The dessert menu lots of choice. Shall definitely be back. The service was excellent too. Thankyou guys.

Lovely food, good service. Toilets need an update - seats would be good! However if I was in Leicester again I would definitely visit.

Disappointing. The food was OK but really not very special with lots of dishes tasting the same. The portions were very small - 6 pieces of lamb in a lamb tikka for £13 is ridiculous. Staff were pleasant enough but if you know your food you will be disappointed

Rude stuff........ I suggest you never use this restaurant..........

The only thing good is the atmosphere, I would not recommend the food at all. They need to change the cheif

Perfectly nice but wouldn't rave about the food.

Friday,stayed at Belmont Hotel about 100m away. Ideal! (A late decision!) My wife and I shared a lovely meal with great tastes and excellent service. On Saturday we moved to the hotel at Leicester City as this was previously booked. Grandson playing rugby at Welford Road on Saturday morning followed by being joined by daughter and our son in law to watch Leicester v Harlequins. ‘I really fancy an Indian’ they said!! We had a great one last night!!!! The result, a half time booking and more excellent food and service. A double delight!!!

I found it it's overrated and the person behind the bar has no manner to talk with guests 🙄 I never go back again

Excellent food and service. Music was a bit too loud and AC was blowing into our heads

Worst place I ever been. We are vegetarian, we ordered paneer and some drinks as a starter. They took chicken on our table. When we realise thats chicken we call waiter then he react like stranger, he said oh its chicken!!! No apologies nothing. Same with drinks as well, we ordered whiskey he didn’t ask ur what we’ll take with it. He took orders and just put on the table. About that paneer starter they took so long we just lost our appetite. Waiter said if you cant wait then they can bring starters and mains together. Like whats the meaning of starter then !? Moreover quantity was so less compare to money. We felt so bad. Our bill was around £115. When we finishe they took bill within a minute but they took so long for food as we noticed restaurant wasn’t really so busy that time. Waste of day and time, staff need to pay more concentration as they even didnt took empty plated from our table ao we can use more space. In between we need to always look behind and look for staff so we can inform them that they should took plates away so we can use more space. Not recommended to anyone.

I am so surprised to see so many bad reviews lately, I wasn’t expecting to see any. We visit Mumbai Inn for a while with work colleagues and also family and friends, just went again tonight and the service, atmosphere and food are always spot on. Keep up the great work!

Helt enkelt jättegott. Vi har åkt runt på ön och ätit indiskt i 10 dagar nu och den här är helt klart bäst hittills. Vi var där på en måndag med 10 pers och alla var nöjda.

Booked to eat here before going to see a show at The De Montfort Hall. (Jack Whitehall - incase you’re interested!) The food was fab!! We had poppadoms, a curry each, rice and naans all really great quality and for a good price. I always judge a place on the cleanliness of the toilets and here, they were immaculate! The staff and the level of service was excellent too. Honestly I couldn’t fault it and would recommend to everyone. Give them a try 😊

Booked online two weeks earlier and fortunately checked by phone as there was no booking.It was only 50% occupied at 7 pm but did fill up. The food was excellent, it’s the 3rd time we’ve been. We’d also booked 21st October but they had no record. He checked his bookings and there was only one booking on 21st. We booked for 7 pm and were told we might have to wait???!! One other booking that night. We’re staying at the Belmont 50 metres away and the food is very good so we will come back.

These guys were so rude to me and my family. The service was awful all night and the food was disgusting. Don’t waste your time. They refused to allow my family to use the customer toilets because of their race. I’m in shock at how awful this experience was. I’ve been to thousands of restaurants and never been treated this way

Without doubt the worst restaurant I have ever visited. Service was shocking,took half an hour to get a drink and menu,another hour to get starters, food very poor. Was looking forward to my vist to Leicester to see family and enjoy a lovely night out, what a dreadful shame I picked this restaurant. Do not vist,avoid at all cost!!!!!

Worst Indian I have ever been to. Took 30 minutes before we were asked for our drinks order and even given a food menu,45 minutes before they took our food order which resulted in starters arriving 90 minutes after we arrived. It wouldn't have been too bad if the food was delicious but it wasn't. They couldn't even deliver what was ordered. 12 poppadoms were ordered and charged for but only 6 arrived, a rice dish short and a terrible salad which wasn't worth the money. Substandard food and terrible service was the order of the day. Avoid!

There were 4 of us and this was our first visit. We liked it didn't feel corporate. We had a lovely evening and enjoyed our food. We liked the atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

I don’t get how this place received the kinda reviews that it did. None of the dishes were anything to write home about esp given the price tag on every one of them! I don’t mind paying premium if the quality reflects it but sadly, it didn’t. Perhaps my growing up in India plays some part in that judgement but v unlikely as I’ve really enjoyed other leicester curry houses! To top it all off, they charged us for the takeaway box for us to pack the rest of our food that my kids had barely touched! The waiters and the atmosphere was good and there’s honestly no complaints there but, I don’t think I’d recommend this place or come back again.

Great food great service as usual

Only had a mix grill with naan. Was good. Service was great, very particular and accomadatinf above our allergy concerns

Didn’t had the food but the guy in white and black was so rude so thought to leave

The taste is very very very goood. We were here this place 20 years ago (the tiffin restaurant back in that time). The manner and respect have not changed att all. Anyone wanting indian food in Leicester definetely should come to this place. We stronlgly advice sizling tikka and madras curry to taste

Perfect indian taste. After 20 years we came to the same place, the tiffin back in at that time. The taste is very nice. This place give you real indian food taste believe me.

Grest food, nice and professionnal staff ! It was a great moment, we will come back soon !

Went here for a family meal last Christmas. Food was okay, but the service was atrocious. It took ages to get anyone’s attention, and it seemed only one person was allowed to take orders. Another couple came in, and again were ignored by staff. When they asked why someone hadn’t come take their drinks order in over 30 mins, staff turned hostile and started arguing with them. Have no idea what’s going on here, but it’s shoddily managed. Avoid like the plague, there are plenty more decent restaurants worth your time and money in Leicester - these guys just don’t care.

Forget the garlic naan. Devastated. Everything was tasty though!

nothing special, arrived luke warm and taste was average...

Excellent food service and atmosphere highly recommended

Really delious meal. Good service. Would definitely vist again if ever back in Leicester. I had chicken Bhuna and my husband Chicken tika masasla. Slightly different to what we've had before in other restaurants.

A beautiful and traditional Indian restaurant with first class food and service. Our family will certainly be back again. Thank you.

This restaurant was recommended by staff in the hotel we stayed at. When we arrived we noticed that it served Indian and also Nepalese dishes so we decided to give it a try. So glad we did because the food was delicious. We ordered six...

Absolutely appalling owner and so rude it beggars belief. Whilst we were there another customer started commenting to the owner of his shocking attitude. Stay away from this place. Shocking.

Delicious food and great service. Nothing was too much trouble.

Group of 13,birthday celebration. The service was excellent, all food came out together, piping hot. Very very tasty. The menu offers a great variety of dishes. Highly recommended.

Really good food. Chicken Madras was hot, but not too hot. Full of flavour and beautifully moist. Tikka masala was delicious. Reasonably priced too

What a shame, was really looking forward to going until we got there ordered a Cobra which came completly flat not one to cause drama but flat beer is not the one, we were told 'the boss' will come and take the order, after telling him the drink was flat took max 2 sips he kicked off slamming onto the Glass to generate bubbles which they would even with a flat drink with that level of hit and would not stop arguing that he knows better never had that happen to me before shame because the food was good, think twice before your so rude to customers because only for that reason i would NEVER recommend the place!

Weve been going regularly for a number of years & always found the staff very friendly, welcoming & efficient. The food has always been excellent & would recommend Mumbai inn to anyone which is something I very rarely due

We’ve been going to the Mumbai for several years & have found the food to be superb at every visit. The owner & his staff are so welcoming, friendly & efficient. It’s always a pleasure to walk through the doors & would highly recommend the...

The best customer service from both waiters we’ve ever experienced. So attentive and polite and the food is great

Great food, great service and excellent food.

Great choice of curries that all had distinct flavours, the food was enjoyed by all. Only downside to the meal was the service, on multiple occasions a waiter would come and ask a question only for a different waiter to appear a minute later and...

Once again superb food. Impeccable friendly service Mumbai Inn is a highly recommended. All of my family and friends who have tried have become regulars. A rare gem of an Indian eatery at quite reasonable prices.

If we go out with friends we go for a meal, and I have to say this is the best spicy food in Leicester, we have tried lots of restaurants over a few years, but we have never found one to complain with this one,...

Been to both Brighton and Leicester Mumbai and both times food and service was excellent. Definitely recommend

I have been coming here with friends for years and the food is amazing, always fresh, so tasty and hot, the service is fantastic, thank you.

Had a lovely meal there, very tasty. I had the chilie paneer starter which had a good kick, and my main was very tasty as well

The service in this place is shocking... After a 30min wait to be seated, a further 25mins for a waiter to take our order, we Waited 1hr 15 min for our starter to arrive then a further 45min for our mains.... The food itself was very nice, but they don't seem to have a scooby in getting people served.

I have to admit that customer service is quite questionable, but sometimes, only - it depends on when you come. However, the food is always amazing.

Good food , friendly service, at a reasonable price

The portion of king prawns Khurana is less

Ordered chicken tikka masala. Chicken was bland and the sauce was too sweet and contained a lot of shredded coconut which is a shame because we visited a few months ago and the chicken tikka masala was completely different and tasted much nicer. It seems like the recipe has changed which I didn’t like unfortunately. It’s so unbelievably hard to find a decent chicken tikka masala in Leicester which is sad. My partner ordered a chicken madras and he was happy with his order. Mango chutney was great. I probably won’t order again though.

1st it said 19.50-20.10.. Then it was locating a driver. I received my food at 20.38 when l had ordered it at approx 19.20. Absolutely poor and food was cold.

The manager was very rude. Furthermore the food was not very good. The quantity and quality both were very bad. And the prices too high.

Worst representation of indian food. The prices were too high. Quality and quantity both were very bad.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

We walked in and hadn’t booked. The staff seemed a bit hostile like they didn’t want us in there. We sat down and about 15mins later they decided to take our order but just for drinks and popdum even im telling im ready to order starters but told wait and he will come back for order We sat a further till waiter come with all this attitude that im being rude and after 15min of arguments we decide we don't want to dine anymore but want to see the manager So for manager we been told we have to go to bar and been given bill for our drink and popdum when we been on bar the manager wasn't available and this random guy came and ask what's the problem at end he never acknowledged the problem but said if you want to pay its OK if not than go and we said we only pay for the drink which been finished the rest all is on table we not paying for that as its not fair and he gat annoyed that we not paying and start talking rude and at end we just walked out without paying hope it teach them lesson as if they lost money we have lost our time and good evening mood so.... The attitude and communication from staff was very poor.If possible I should gave them 0 Star 🌟
