Mumbai Local in Harrow

Food is too spicy and waiters act like the dont understand when asked to make it less spicy. Also there so many waiters but food doesn't arrive on time you have to ask for condiments , tissues, water several times until someone actually bothers. They are not prompt. When you complain about food they just say oh our gravies are pre-made so we cant make it less spicy. Then they say they will make it medium spicy. But the end product is usually unappealing and hot as hell. Overall vibe is boring and unfriendly. Lately we have noticed the food has gone very average. Last 3 times I have gone home half hungry 😔 Also tried take away few times but not happy. It’s a mess!!

Disappointed with your thali now. Desert used to be great, Gulab Jamun, Ras Gulla. Now few times its been tinned mango rus or fruit salad, mainly apples and grapes in milk, no taste

Went for a quick bite. Good ambience. Good food. Quick service. Had Chole Bature, Pav Bhaji. Pav Bhaji was amazing.... The mixed fruit juice was fresh with no ice... Wow getting a fresh quice at a restaurant these days is a big thing.. Like all the passion fruit juice is from concentrate these days. Ambience is good and the hygiene rating is 5. We had been to Queensbury branch. Getting parking is a bit of pain being a busy area. Lot of menu option too. Highly recommended

We are regular visitors, both the food and service are excellent!

Lovely Masala Dosa here, cooked fresh to order.

Small portions on everything ordered asked to speak to the manager was told he is busy. 1 portion of dal bhajia 5 small pieces 6.95 day light robbery.

We had bed experience today . Staff told us ordered all food before 9.30 kitchen going close we ordered all after we wanted naan so we ordered but staff told us not possible . Staff explained us staff need to go very far from here so we r going to close . Before when opened that time good customer service but now "0" now we decide will never go again . We feel like we r begging with them while paying money rubbish service

Wanted to have a nice lunch instead we had to constantly call the waiters over and they forgot half our order. I had a small baby with me and I’m not joking when I say we waited over 30 mins just to order food. Staff members were more interested in talking to each other. We ordered food and unfortunately it was half uncooked and when we told the waitress she had to go speak to her manager ! It seems like the staff cannot do anything or make decisions without the managers consent. Unbelievable. We went to go pay our bill and at this point I’m super frustrated as the so called manager was standing and eating and on his phone. I explained to the waitress what we won’t pay for cause we never received it she then said oh let me get manager and then stood there expecting me to say it all over again. It may sound trivial but this place has such a poor customer service and the manager who claimed to be a manager couldn’t handle the heat from me as he was on his phone calling another manager to deal with our situation. We were not the only one the got treated this way. Reported to trading standards

Had ordered takeaway curries...poor taste...it tasted only of oil...very oily and stale taste. it made us feel sick!

I just received my veg biriyani and raita....and it's received as open raita .....zero for service

My food didn’t arrive I want my all money back as soon as possible with compensation

Last night we order by uber chole bhture was very bad taste feel like eating made from few days ago whole night I couldn't sleep , fell stomach pain never order Mumbai local

Had the most awful meal I’ve ever had at Mumbai local yesterday everything was so spicy(despite telling them to make the food mild) and oily. The crispy bhajia was soggy and oily as if they’d been cooked at least 3 times over and had the uncooked flour between the bhajias. Very unpleasant dinner. And quality has gone down

I am visiting from abroad and wanted to order a couple of my mom’s favourite dishes to celebrate her birthday. We ordered crispy bhajia. These ones were definitely NOT crispy and seemed to be day olds that were refried. They were very spicy too. We also ordered chilly paneer. It was too spicy and we were only able to eat a little of it. This was very disappointing as we ended up throwing the food away which was not how I had wanted to spend time with my 94 year old mom!

One of the best vegetarian restaurant I have been to. Great choice from on trend Indian street food to the more traditional gujarati food. Waiters are always polite and try their best to please the guests. If there was anything to complain about, it was the fact that all food is served as huge potions so difficult to be able to try more than 1 or 2 dishes. A reason to go back again to try different dishes next time

Fantastic vegetarian Indian food. Great staff and service. Place is a bit linear so quire noisy - but one of the best food in the area.

Worst service ever , we called and asked when it will close they said you can come , then we visited , whole staff was sitting infront of us the 7/8 people how can somone eat food like this , no manner to talks they sais where should we my staff sit as that is no concern of clinets you should make area for staff , if you scared about protest you should close restaurant at 7 as many of done that , Not recommend strongly

Not recommend, not professional, stand on head when eat , everyone looking on face when eating , make some area for staff if required , before eating they asked want more, we said first serve anything then can say about next repeat .

Mumbai Local used to be one of my favourites but not at all anymore. The food taste and quality have consistently gone down since few months. The portion sizes they offer for the main course are ridiculously small. The prizes for all the curries is similar to other restaurants in the area but the quantity is unbelievably small and nearly half the size. The customer service is appalling and the staff are so rude and arrogant. I visited last week on Wednesday to the Queensbury branch as a group of 6. The restaurant was half empty. On arrival we were asked if we had made a booking. I wasn’t sure as half of our group had arrived separately as we had decided to meet there. Hence I said to the person in charge of taking the booking that I wasn’t sure and informed him that if we booked it would be under so and so’s name. He didn’t had any patience to let me complete my sentence and started shouting that can you tell me if you have booked or not as we are very busy. Kept on repeating again and again we are very busy and that we should have booked. This was quite surprising as the restaurant was half empty. Obviously, we were straight away given the table. Also, till the time we left no new customers came in so I fail to understand what was the need to yell about them being busy. In the end we asked for some container for left overs and the lady very rudely gave us the boxes as if literally throwing them in our face and said “TAKE IT”. Never visiting this place again or any of their other branches as we had a similar experience at the wembley branch as well. I am pretty sure the restaurant will be closed down very soon with this kind of poor customer service. We were treated as if we were homeless beggars and came to eat for free. Disgusting attitude of them.

Thali and Mumbai sandwich was nice but Mumbai bhel was a disappointment as no tamarind sauce of green chili was in it. The two stars are for that,

Today lunch time we ordered 1 unlimited thali and one another item fromthe menu and requested no paneer as I do not eat it. When the thali arrived, it had paneer curry on the thali, therefore I requested my wife to have just the paneer pieces, rather than going to waste. When I requested additional salad, I was informed by one of the waiters that as I had shared my thali, I was not entitled to unlimited items. We were not happy with this situation and hence complained and it also put us off our food.

Service is a bit slow and couldn't follow allergen requests

Waste of time, their timing on Google is incorrect.

Terrible service. Avoid at all costs. Rude

I go with my Family but food was uncooked and my order is veg fried rice manchurian but that was very rubbish and service is zero . Even i finish my dinner then they don’t provide sauf at last

Ordered Paalak paneer. Yummyy.. worth the price.. will order again.. thanks.

Ordered a few items, taste was not satisfying , would definitely not go there again.

Incredibly rude and unhelpful service from the manager in charge at Mumbai Local, walked straight out and did not eat our meal there. Do not recommend

I recently had a deeply upsetting experience at Mumbai Local Queensbury Branch due to the behaviour of the waiter staff (Name: Harsh) on Date: 07.07.2024. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a waiter (Name: Harsh) who seemed annoyed that we didn’t have a reservation as we already called for reservations. During visit, we ordered cold drinks, and the waiter’s behaviour was unprofessional and disrespectful. “He throws the straws on the table instead of handing them to us politely.”When we asked for a table, he informed us that you don’t needed to book online. However, when we reach at Mumbai local Queensbury Branch we were told that a booking was not necessary. This inconsistency and the rude behavior of the waiter made our experience quite unpleasant. I hope you will address this matter to ensure better service for your customers in the future. This experience left a very negative impression, and we will not be returning to the Mumbai Local - Queensbury Branch. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the conduct and training of their staff specifically for “Harsh” to prevent such unpleasant experiences in the future.

Their gluten-free options are restricted but impressed that they do gluten-free dosa when so many South Indian restaurants don't even do this. (Yes, you read that right! South Indian restaurants have started adding white flour to their dosa and medu vada batters, don't ask me why!). Love their potato filling in the dosa as well. It's mild and tasty and they allow sambar and chutney refills.

Brightly decorated. Fast food items are good with variety. There is a default service charge applied of 12.5%. If there was an option to change this, it wasn't made obvious.

There is no consistency in the food, we have ordered before and the taste is never the same nor is the quantity. There's no salt in the noodles and too much salt in the chole? I wasted my money on this order. The whole box for noodles isn't even filled like usual and the noodles are also overcooked. What is this? Never ordering from here again.

Food was very very oily. How can you eat that

Service is a let down, which is a shame as the food js great. After speaking to the Manager issues were resolved quickly but it just made the experience unnecessarily painful when it didn’t need to be.

Great vegetarian food. Would definitely recommend chaats and bombay sandwiches for quick lunches.

Below is what I wrote about this restaurant when they started. Sadly it has progressed... Poorly. The staff wear untidy soiled clothes. They make such a racket. There's so much going on in the kitchen.. all visible.. but doesn't make good viewing. It moved to be all things to all people. Badly. The food is well below good. It's sad to see a resteraunt get a poor review. I shan't be able to go here... This was my review below, sadly, a few years ago. They have moved the benchmark higher in this area for meals. Nicer ambience, but the musak... phew disconcerting. They have a very large selection on the menu... I can't say what they are good at. The waiters were good, the thali was average, and the dosa delivered on another table looked good. I am local here, would I go again? Probably... Just not as frequently as I would like.

Taste of biryani wasn't that good. Some Paneer pieces were very chewy and black

Before the Chinese item was Excellent Now Is Soo Poor .I Ordered the manchurian kathi roll with masala chips ..manchurian kathi roll was undercooked and smells like gone off and masala chips looks horrible..

Lovely food good service. Good value

Staff are rudely behaving with delivery driver price are too high and food also not worth the price of this high . They behaving unprofessinally with not with customer also with delivery drivers as well rideculous

I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. We went there for dinner and had a terrible experience. Staff didn't had a time to look after customer and they didn't take order even before 9:30 PM. I have been to many restaurants never came across this kind of customer service. Moreover, Manager didn' had manners how to talk with customers. Bad experience don't of money

Very bad service never recommended this restaurant they told me last order will be 9:30 but when I order at 9:20 they didn’t accept my order and also manager don’t have any manners about how to behave with customers and even there is no communication between staff

I have been there for dinner, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there not good service, there weren’t taking order even before 9:30 PM, We were informed to order before 9:30 PM even order before they didn’t even bothered to took over order. Manager Should have manner to talk with customer. He behaved very rudely with with us.

This place has lost its touch , We drove 40 miles to eat here and it used To be excellent , we won’t be eating here or recommending this place again. Food was bland and not authentic , rave music Way too loud that you could not even have a conversation with people on your own table. It’s either time to review what your doing or call It a day .

Visited the place yesterday and it was a terrible experience....ordered some starters and mains and the mains came first..the noodles were oily and there were some rockhard ballsof dough which I had difficulty cutting let alone eating....the crispy bhajias were cold and looked as if they were just warmed up... the dosa was doughy not crispy .... only saving grace was the Tusker!!!!!

I ordered a takeaway today and I requested again and again while ordering that please cook mild. But Our chilli paneer was full of oil and was extremely spicy. So was Hakka noodles and Manchurian. Food was too oily and extremely spicy.. Mumbai local lost their indo Chinese taste. Sorry but we are never coming back. Your food is so costly but food quality is too poor. Spicy doesn't means tasty guys.

Delicious experience! Tasty food and huge portion sizes which meant we had to take food home. We asked for mild chili paneer and we got it, asked for medium mogo chips and we got it. Chaat dishes were all very tasty too, they couldn't be more helpful with our two young girls. Prices are more than other restaurants but food prices have gone up and they are running a business so please be kind. We didn't use the toilets which my husband commented on could have been better, but otherwise we will definitely be back. Ignore the negative reviews and please give it a try. IF you are unhappy with the food then tell them there rather than posting online and putting others off. Enjoy!!!

Very badly over priced. AVOID. Meal for 2 will easily exceed 30 each

We always visit mostly with family dinner and love atmosphere and food. Highly recommend for vegetarian option.

So bad ordered panner bhurij full of oil . didn't taste good.only you can taste is oil due to which the stomach got upset

Taste was nice . Depends on chef

It was my marriage lunch party. And food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Just live it..

✍🏻Not Recomended✍🏻 Today it was my wife’s Birthday🎂. We decided to 🥳celebrate in Mumbai Local Queensbury as 🍽️dinner🥘. The food was very 🤑expensive as per 😞quality. The starter🙂 was nice, but the main dish we ordered was 🤯worst. Furthermore, food wasn’t been decorated. Servers were also like very quick and take dishes from the table like they wanted us to leave quickly from the big table. Although, Restaurant 🎶music was nice. Just one advice for servers please don’t do 🏃🏻brisk walking🏃🏻‍♂️. Lastly, not a peacefull environment, very fast paced.🙏🏻 will never go again.

Food quality has gone downhill and is expensive for what you get. We ordered a takeaway via Uber Eats and the food smelled odd and tasted sour, like it had gone off. We ended up throwing most of it in the bin.

Not great in taste service was good

Too spicy food for my taste. Staff are excellent

Took my mum out for a meal. We ordered sev puri, crispy bhajiya, hakka noodles, garlic mushrooms. Crispy bhajiyas were good except for the tasteless, uninspiring "signature" chutney. Everything else was disappointing. Sev puri was a messy blob, lacking crispiness, texture and taste. Hakka noodles, supposedly "medium spicy" were tasteless, with a marked lack of vegetables. Even adding schezwan sauce couldn't save this dish. Garlic mushrooms? Not an edible button mushroom in sight. Supposedly covered in batter, fried and chopped up into pieces and a soy sauce, with a limp unappealing salad. Extremely disappointing. For a £40+ meal, not good enough. More attention needed on the basics, and please use decent ingredients in good quantities. I expect to see a decent quantity of vegetables in vegetarian dishes such as noodles. I should be able to pick up each sev puri with my fingers and bite into it and get the different tastes and textures. This is NOT how Mumbai Local food tastes. Back to the drawing board guys - please raise your game, I'm sure you can do it.

It's was worst I ordered manchow soup and Hakka noodles and they both were very oily noodles was extremely oily and soup has green onions which was not fresh and they tasted awful and very bad smell too, this was my last order from now I'm not gonna visit or order from here again and tell my group friends too. Such a bad experience

Mumbai Local was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The food was divine, so many dishes to choose from. Price was very reasonable too. For the 4 of us the bill was £96, which included alcohol. I thought parking would have been an issue on a Saturday evening but there was plenty. 10/10

Food ok, but beware price of drinks! £8.95 for large cobra. Will not have drinks again there if we go for food.

While I've enjoyed Mumbai Local in the past, my recent visit to this branch fell short of my expectations. The food lacked its usual vibrancy, and the service felt impersonal. While I appreciate that everyone has their off days, our server's demeanour, unfortunately, didn't contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I hope this was an isolated incident, as I'd love to continue supporting Mumbai Local in the future.

Nice good nice staff will visit again.

Good service with smil . Excellent ambience. The quality of food is very good. It's a bit pricy, though, which was a slight disappointment.

I ordered a takeaway from Mumbai Local Queensbury today (10th February). I ordered 3 x Chilli Tofu 1 x Paneer 2 x Chinese bhel I was extremely extremely disappointed with the food and it's quality. I was really looking forward to a good dinner. But it was so bad. The Chinese bhel was actually inedible. I ended up putting both the portions straight in the bin. I paid around £60 for this entire order and all the food has now gone in the bin. I rang the restaurant as I was extremely disappointed. As expected, they did nothing at all. They checked with the chef who made same portion of Chinese bhel for other customers and they didn't complain. I will never be going here again and will be saying how bad this place is to anyone that listens

They checked with the chef who made same dish for other customers and they all liked it.

Good Services meanwhile Food is ok. We ordered Dal Tadka .. which was very spicy 🔥🥵, they are making tadka with Green Chillies, it should be red as per authentic Indian Tradition.

Food was very salty, especially the crispy corn and paneer dry fry

We ordered take away kaju masala & veg kofta Both we not fresh at all and taste like full of preservatives, it smelled like came out of tin. We would never order it again from here

Please seems have gone downhill recently hence 3 star. Last couple of visits were no great but prior to that I would have rated it 5 star.

It was not good experience. I like their Bombay Sandwich but had only at Harrow branch. Thought it would be same at Queensbury branch but not good at all. I asked about why cheese was not finely grated like they serve in Harrow, there was no convincing explanation. The garlic chutney in the sandwich was not good at all. Then we had papadi chat. When came to the table it looked like dahi wada. Then we ordered crispy corn. Not good too. Had Uttapam which was ok. I was ashamed for taking my guest friend to your restaurant. Then came home me and my daughter both had diarrhea. Very very disappointed ☹️ I would not recommend this place to any one.

I love their food ,staff are polite and friendly nice place to enjoy delicious food

My favourite restaurant in town. Fantastic food and experience.

Extremely over priced. And they use too much sugar overall. But it’s way too expensive for the quantity and quality. Very expensive. The worse thing is that I don’t think the actual owner cares for these negative reviews. I think the owner only cares for the money coming in. It is extremely a rip off. Crazy prices. There are other places charging less and giving more portion sizes. At times we used to feel that they RE-FRY SOME OF THE FOOD BECAUSE THE QUALITY WAS AWFUL. But like I said, I don’t think the owner cares

It was very worse experience to have food from Mumbai loca. I ordered Hakka noodles, paneer chilli and may more things, but it was so ridiculous and there is no taste in any of the food. And In paneer chill there was too much extra oil. Me personally never recommend to anyone.

Request to all don't go in weekend after 9.30pm because they are available 10:00pm(as per google time) but they can't serve dine in or tack away so, you lost your valuable time

Awful meal here this evening. Food was tasteless. Found plastic shards in our food which quickly ended our meal.... the waitress didn't seem bothered and found it funny. The manager didn't really care either and still wanted to overcharge us for items we didn't order at the end. Would not recommend going here and will not be returning.

Friendly and excellent service!

Best vegetarian Indian restaurant ever. Highly recommend. Amazing flavours. Vegan options.

We didn’t like the food because we have order MANCHURIAN NOODLES but in that there is only 2 manchurian and we had said in customise box, that we need SPICY but it’s Sweet in test, and there is no garlic test in it and my 2nd order was Veg.Biryani they have put ELAICHI’S beans in it and whole biryani there is no gravy, there is just RICE and Vegetables and just getting flavour of elaichi beans nothing else… We are Soo soo disappointed to Spend £25 just for this 2 thing’s and we didn’t like the taste, theee food is Sooooo sooooo soooooooooo Badddd….

Amazing taste in authentic Indian cuisine. Reasonably priced and the taste of the dishes took me back to India 🇮🇳 Would definitely worth a visit or two or more!

Waiters are so very attentive, friendly and offer a fantastic service, which has been the same throughout Mumbai locals branches. The food is great!

Went on Diwali day with extended family. Some of the food was good in taste however the chole / bhature was no where near to that dish. It was watery without any taste. Did complain about it and was told we can pack the same for takeaway which didn't make sense as it was tasteless. Price wise slightly higher to other similat restaurants around. South Indian dishes and indo Chinese dishes were good.

I ordered pav bhaji by uber which was third classs..there was teatless bhaji nd pav was not grilled..i suggest to your staff that they have to learn how to make pav bhaji nd about salad the onion was stale.I want my money back i will do the process.i will not recommented to anymore..

Absolutely lovely food service atmosphere Have been coming here again and again

Great food! Authentic and Tasty.. and trust me, I’ve been to many Indian Restaurants!

Quick and very very tasty Indian food!

The food is generally great albeit a little expensive.

AVOID. It may look fancy, in reality it's tasteless and a rip off. Don't bother wasting your money. Overpriced and portions come half full, chilli tofu was 1/3 full, tasteless and £8.50, paneer butter masala half full, average, and £8.95. To top it off they got my £60 order wrong.

Please don’t buy anything from this restaurant. I ordered last night. I was waiting for 2 hours . At the end i got soggy and cold food. Moreover, presentation is zero. Please don’t accept order if you can’t. Further more their drivers are ridiculous. Driver was not moving since half and hour. Even he is not replying my message. The delivery guy name is MANESH.crispy Chinese bhel was not fresh. Manchurian had more soya sauce which is not good. I ordered dry one and they gave us with gravy . So wrong order they gave us.And noodles was not tasty. Literally waste of money and time. Please guys don’t waste your time and money. Highly hated this restaurant.

We ordered exactly 2 mins before they were about to close but but but chole bhature was delicious …amazingly hot… fresh… nd finger licking good… best Indian food ever tried in London after so long …… will soon visit the restaurant too super excited 🫶🏻

The food was delicious, service was great

Great food and customer friendly service. Much more popular than harrow branch and actually better than the harrow one. They food is less oily amd spicy here. Very busy on Fridays and weekends so must book in advance . But overall Great experience and highly recommended.

One of the best experiences and food quality, quantity & flavour is on point. Thank you so much ☺️

We went one afternoon all family to have lunch the time was 15.20 we were turn away sayings we are closing. When we checked online closing time was 16.00 staff was very rude

Was alright nothing special . Better places in harrow

Service was not good and service should no to charge that is rip off

Absolutely love this place! Good food and service!

It us not goid experience 2nd time After taking order ask me to move on other table beacuse they want to accommodate take other booking . Staff us not polite and don't understand. I walk away from restaurant with out my dinner I want go again ,

We came up from South London to have dinner at a restaurant close by and afterwards ended up in Mumbai Local for chai. I wish I had come to this place first. The chai was great and I am sure the food must be just as good. Great bunch of young people running the restaurant. Next time I plan to come and eat there

Please please do not visit this streatfield road one. It has happened on 2 occasions now. They have a habit of overcharging if you pay by cash. Also prices seem to be higher each time you go and order the same thing. The woman is very rude and this I assign again was overcharged. I gave them the benefit of the doubt but it happened again. Also they took out my sweet pans that i paid for and then upon calling they were rude. I think staff are pocketing money by overcharging when paying in cash Pls be aware and check your receipt and check the prices
