Mumtaz Indian Haute Cuisine in Swansea

Fantastic curry’s , massively exceeded expectations, faultless I am from Birmingham the home of British curry’s and not easy pleased.

Curt service and food that lacked flavour. The breads were nice, everything else lacked any type of seasoning or care. Our servers were brisk and unhelpful, and the high price offered poor value.

Very nice indian food, with great service

Best Indian food in mumbles. Service is fantastic to boot. Oh and the onion bhajis are absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Just ordered a takeaway for delivery, food was amazing , service was amazing , best indian takeaway for a long time.

Terrible service. Despite having a booking we were an hour in their bar waiting to go to our table. Then about 40 mins to be served. My tandoori salmon starter was good but my veg biryani which I'd asked.to have extra spicy, was the blandest curry I think I've ever eaten. Grobby. No discount or gestures for the delays and mistakes (bar some poppadoms on the house).

Amazing restaurant. Food and service. It is our favourite Indian in Swansea

The service we received was very bad. They are not at all concerned about customers. The way they served the food was very rude and when we informed about the situation to the manager he was saying this is the service that they are providing which was the worst experience in my life and we had to walk of the restaurant without having food

We visited Swansea with couple of families and I’m sorry to say the experience we had was terrible. We had to walk of the restaurant without eating. The person who served us had a terrible attitude and had no respect for the customers.. Took off the plates and cutlery from our table to serve another table and then another person came and brought back the cutlery and just threw them on the desk in front of us and while taking the order he also warned us not to complain later while we ordered chicken tikka masala. When we asked the manager to be served by a different person , the manager came to discuss and told you can go if you want and there was no word of apology and sadly we had to go without eating .

Hmm where do I start. Apart from the restaurant looking nice. The food was bland and lacking spice and flavour. It seemed that they ether use less ingredients and spices or cheaper versions of it. Shame as I love a good curry.

Our meals were delicious, quite possibly the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten.

Beautiful food, absolutely delicious! Wonderful customer service also, the waiters are wonderful, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble! Congratulations on a wonderful team at this excellent restaurant, especially a couple of the more 'senior' staff, they are proper old school professionals, they make you feel like you're a special guest, very rare these days! I couldn't fault the service or the food, 10/10 in every way, thank you so much! 🙏

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mumtaz, and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant's warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for an enjoyable evening. The staff at Mumtaz were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more memorable.

Booked a table for 7pm. 7.20pm still no sign of being seated. Front of house staff (old man) was terrible, didn't speak good English and very rude. Finally got to our tablet and we're left for 30mins. We got up and left and went to the Mumbai instead!

Good food at reasonable prices. Nice interior to the restaurant.

An all round good experience would visit again in a heartbeat!

Visited during the summer. Air-con was nice to keep us cool. Staff were very friendly, nice atmosphere & the food was great. Would highly recommend.

Awesome meal and friendly staff. Will return.

Food was good, but it’s a shame about the waiter who was miserable and quite rude ( I think he has been there for a while, as we had him before in past year) - waiter needs to go to a charm skills course.

It's not like me to just wonder into a place without having done any research in advance of where to eat, but stumbled into this place knowing nothing about it while on a training course in Swansea. Really appreciated the fresh flavours in the vegetable Goa and the the chutneys were top notch. Really friendly and helpful staff as well.

Things have changed since we were there a year ago. Not for the better either. Service still impeccable,, awesome. Atmosphere was a bit hindered with several very loud children that the parents didn't bother to reign it. Of course that can happen anywhere. By the time we left at 7PM on a Saturday night, the place was packed. Definitely get a reservation beforehand, like we did. Now for the bit of disappointment,, the food has been changed. My wife and I were going to replicate our order from a year ago. Our guest was new to this restaurant. Less flavourful would encompass most of our cuisine experience. My wife had gotten chicken tikka masala before,, absolutely loved it. She loathes coconut. It was exempt of it. This time we asked if it was still coconut-free. The answer was no,,it has coconut in it's sauce. So a recommendation was made for a chicken curry. Appeared to have chicken tikka in a tomato base with some raw onion. She said it was ok,,but would never order it again,,lacked any kind of curry flavour. My tandoori chicken looked great,,but did it lack in the flavour department. Same with the special fried rice. Same with the 3 side dishes and naan our guest ordered. Bland, bland, and bland. The papadums with it's sides were now a bit of a bizarre mix. Not bad, but lacked regular mango chutney and a tamarind sauce. There were 3 of us and we all agreed on the overall experience. While the food was good looking,,it lacked the zing and flavour. It appears in the years time shortcuts or money saving changes have been made that affect the overall quality and experience of the meal. Not terrible,,but definitely no longer great either. We were really letdown and disappointed after the tremendous meal we had a year ago that made our taste buds explode in all sorts of ways. This time our taste buds were just left in the neutral position.

Excellent food, I will eat here again.

Ordered online total was £45 for a collection after order we phoned up to add on item we missed. Told it was £50 got to restaurant to collect it was now £60.50! We paid anyway as we were hungry got home and found a main missing phoned up they refused to deliver missing item. So went to collect again they quickly brought out missing item but still couldn't explain price difference. After getting food home the food had no spice, all the meat was dry, narn just didn't taste nice. Poppadoms and onion bhaji were the only decent items. Overall I would avoid this restaurant worse curry I have ever had with awful customer service and no sense on pricing.

Fantastic food. All vegetarian which is often a bit drab, but this was really fresh and tasty.

It's been a while since eating out for a curry. Service was spot on, welcoming and made for a great evening out. Delicious food, piping hot and couldn't quite finish so doggie bag to come home with.

Great service and everything hot and fresh to take away. Amazing korma and chicken tikka, poppadoms incredible, house mango chutney and yoghurt dip were incredible as well.

Lovely food and great service!😁👍

Very unwelcoming. disappointed with the front desk staff.

Curries I ordered taste like tomato soup. Missing the usual spices and freshness. Shame, I really wanted to support a local eatery.

Reserved a table and we reach there on time and when we informed our availability at reception the receptionist refused to give a table for us stating this restaurant food is only for WHITE PEOPLES and he is not ready to give us a table even though we booked prior to our visit. Receptionist claiming that we won't like the taste of their food and they want to serve only for English peoples. Atleast they can cancel our booking before time, so that we can save the parking fee aswell.

Friendly service but my curry was a bit bland…

The worst experience I ever had in U.K. I went along with my friends for dinner. We have ordered couple of items. All the dishes weren’t cooked properly and the response from the management was very bad when we’ve approached about dishes. They’ve just served a fried rice with some chicken pieces, that too with a half boiled, instead of chicken biryani. All the items served with full of oil. The name itself is an Indian Cuisine, but there is no proper taste of Indian. I’m never gonna recommend this for anyone

Im a proper Indian citizen as i see the name i came over here.But seriously every dish i ordered is worst and I don’t recommend this restaurant for any Indian people. When we asked the management there is no proper response from them.

Great evening out with the family ...highly recommend booking advance .

Avoid at all costs. Ordered the mixed grill. Bright red food, full of food colouring, tasteless, bland and dry meat. Dry chicken, which I would not give my dog, tough. Dry Lamb again which I wouldn’t give my dog. Also ordered the cauliflower and potato sidedish. This was nothing more than boiled vegetables with not even any salt, and then some kind of curry sauce Stirred in and probably microwaved. Utterly tasteless and unpalatable. The naan breads were equally Dry, and tasteless. When I flagged this with the extremely embarrassed waiters, they were very apologetic and offered to remake the mixed grill. I reluctantly agreed, but soon after this, the senior waiter came along, and said the remade version would be the same as the previous version so did I want anything else from the menu. We left. This was pretty much the final straw. The owner of the restaurant was sitting in the corner, whooping it up with his friends and seemed completely diss interested. Total rip-off, treat customers with utter contempt. Not sure what is going on and/or how this place survives. I am of Asian descent and was particularly unimpressed. Waiting staff seemed extremely embarrassed and realised that the food was significantly below standard, but seemed powerless to do anything to sort it out.

I liked the staff and the place. I was quite disappointed by most of the food. The poppadoms rice and onion bhaji were good. My Dhansak was very poor, it had a single 'thin' chili edge spicing/flavour, not hot sweet and sour as this dish should be. The Tarka Dall was bland, They were the mainstays of my meal. My wife's chicken dish was ok/good for her but other veggie side was unremakable. At the end of the meal we were asked if everthing was OK. I made a comment about the Dhansak but the response was not much more than a shrug of the shoulders. Sad all round really, as I really wanted to like this place

Excellent food and service will definitely be going back

Lots of sauce hardly any chicken

Came down here with a few of the boys on a weekday. Amazing service all the waiters were very attentive. Food was really good the jalfrezi was perfect mix of spice and flavour.

Delivered a mouldy chutney - (pictured) - the degree of it was so bad it completely put us off the whole meal, which went wasted. The smell and taste of all the food was as bad as the customer service, which was awful -

Take Away- Very bland food, ordered two curries and both were very tasteless ended up adding salt to them just to add some flavour, and for the price you would expect a great tasting dish. Wont be going back.

Worst experience ever. Starting from bad customer service to very low quality of food. Ordered chicken tikka as starters and the chicken wasn't cooked at all. Staffs weren't friendly as well. Last but not the least we weren't allowed to sit where we wanted to. Wouldn't recommend this place.

Very good staff and amazing food will deffinately go back

Food was ok/good. Busy Saturday night so food took an hour after arriving in restaurant. Jug of water took 3 requests. Trouble is service was curt, abrupt, not friendly or welcoming. It doesn’t take much to be friendly and smiley but these guys seem to struggle.

Good traditional local Indian restaurant. I like the Jinga Caldeen. Friendly service.

Very nice food and nice service 👍

All staff were very friendly and welcomed us with a smile. Fast and polite service. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent quality food and takeaway service, thanks

recently had the pleasure of dining at Mumtaz Indian in Swansea, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience! The food was delicious, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile from the staff and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. The menu at Mumtaz Indian offers a wide range of dishes, from classic Indian favorites to unique and creative dishes. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was one of the best I have ever had. The spices were perfectly balanced and the sauce was rich and creamy. I also tried their samosas as an appetizer and they were crisp and filled with flavorful ingredients. The service at Mumtaz Indian was outstanding. The wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed throughout my meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and it truly adds to the overall experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Mumtaz Indian to anyone looking for a fantastic Indian dining experience. Whether you're a fan of traditional Indian cuisine or looking to try something new, this restaurant has something for everyone. So if you're in Swansea and looking for a great meal, be sure to check out Mumtaz Indian!

My 1st time here. Very busy. Good food selection, tastes very good, had to wait a few mins for a table as it was so busy.

We arrived at this restaurant at about 9pm one other table in use. The reception by the staff was rather cold but we stayed. The food arrived and was luke warm one dish was sent back to be reheated with a very grumpy waiter. On paying the bill I complained about the service and the temperature of the food the reply was it was very cold outside!! What a load of rubbish this used to be a pleasant restaurant but it requires new staff with courteous attitude will not be returning and will advise my local friends to visit Mumbles Tandoori instead.

Just had a lovely meal for two, it was quiet at 5.30 on a Sunday but staff very attentive and couldn't fault the food.

Decent takeaway, friendly delivery driver. Chicken tikka masala portion was huge and the chicken was good quality. The pilau rice was also a good size and tasty. Keema naan decent. Only disappointment was the poppadoms that tasted very strongly of burnt oil.

Food was very nice but one member of staff was very rude they had our money then they rushed us out so others could take our place

Very disappointing. As someone who eats and prepares Indian food all the time, there is nothing authentic about the dishes served here. Although I asked for medium spiciness, it was zero spicy. I was very much craving for mild spicy food. It's very expensive compared to what they are serving. According to my sister, the only best thing about the dinner was the warm wet tissue they give us at the end of our meal. The dessert menu was pathetic. No indian desserts except for kulfi or something which didn't interest any of us. Waiters tend to rush us when taking our orders although we were the only ones there. Very cold inside too. First and last time here. Might as well have ordered takeaway from some place. If you want authentic indian food, this isn't the place.

First meal from here for a long time very pleasantly surprised.... Leaves the rest way behind.... Gorgeous!

Good service even in a busy Friday night. Food was nice, portions weren’t massive but nobody left hungry.

Great restaurant with great food.

Visited this evening. Booked on line so that was great. The staff were excellent and as we are both veggies, we found the food outstanding. Definitely go back again, couldn't fault it. Thanks for a great meal.

The staff make this restaurant 😍 and the food 😋 was excellent to .Will be returning.

Lovely food, great service, definitely a must for a good Indian meal

Havent been for a while service etc was good but meal very disappointing two of us ordered lamb tikka masala when it came and we started to eat the meat was very tough and didnt taste like lamb more like beef complained to the waiter he said it was definitely lamb but here is the best bit he said we should have asked for soft lamb never heard that one b4 so very disappointed should have had chicken

Had a lamb jalfrezi, onion bhaji, meat samosas and pilau rice, it was delicious and the staff were really friendly. Definitely will go again

Good food and excellent service.

Always have had a tasty meal here and been numerous times. So friendly and efficient too. Highly recommend a try. One of the best Indian Restaurants in Swansea.

Food was okay but staff were very rude

Excellent food and service highly recommended

Had a chicken tikka starter. When I opened it, about 4 or 5 minutes later, the time it takes to drive to Limeslade, it was warm outside, and cold inside. Very disappointed. Haven't been since it was Lalqila and probably won't go again. Such a shame. It looked and smelled lovely.

Amazing experience today, service was great food was fantastic and the ambiance was just wow.. Would def be back when we are in swansea again.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Price is ok.

Really very nice food! Very polite and friendly stuff. Definitly coming back soon 😊

Excellent Indian cuisine in a nice atmosphere. I can recomment the dinner for four when dining with several people. Fantastic service. Really tasty and great value for money.

Food is amazing and the staff are really nice

Great food in lovely surroundings. Plenty of choice.

Table for 3 great food great place and the staff were very attentive We all enjoyed our food Thankyou

Oh dear, I could almost get past the average food and pricing, but the food dye/colours is just plain shocking. Feel sorry for the locals that this is a good Indian option for them… hope they can improve

Brilliant!! Visited for the first time last night as our usual curry house had burnt down! The food was superb and the service efficient and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

A really nice curry to be had here plenty of spice without being greasy!

One of the best Indians I've had in ages

Rice wasn't cooked long wait for food and waiiers very rude when we complained about the rice. Wouldn't return

Saw the manager spit on the floor as someone left the restaurant. Revolting behaviour from anyone, especially the manager. Wouldn’t go anywhere near this restaurant again, and would advise others not to.

Was not a good 1st time experience. Our grand-daughter food was cold in the middle. Our curry was tasteless. The only thing good about the place, the staff couldn't apologise enough. No return for us.

Really great food, atmosphere and service

It was AUFULL! We waited 1 1/2 hours for the main course, when it came they brought dishes we didn't order. The food we did order was tasteless and the children's food was cold - chicken nuggets still frozen in the middle! They would not even apologise! One star is too many!

Excellent service and very warm welcome.

On collection of takeaway , missing items from order. Phoned when I got home to ask for a refund for the missing items , manager was very rude. Rest of the food was good. Shame about the attitude. Update 16/11/21 Still awaiting refund for missing items

Very friendly and attentive staff. Order taken promptly and food arrived quickly. All very tasty! Shame they had run out of Cobra Zero for those wanting to drink alcohol free beer.

Really delicious food, as simple as that. Best curry I've had for a long time.

Visited last night. Excellent place. Food and staff. Glad we ignored any negative comments otherwise we would have missed out on an excellent curry.

Fantastic Indian cuisine, always top quality food & service

Food was really nice, the thing that’s let’s it down is the rude service and the incorrectness of the bill. I had ordered a paratha bread with my meal which didn’t turn up, when I asked for it the waiter said I hadn’t ordered it. Firstly, he was rude with his response and adamant he was right. Secondly, he didn’t offer to add one onto the order until after he’d walked away and came back. No apology for missing it off, just rudeness! Other tables had queries their bills to which were corrected, therefore we checked ours and it was incorrect also, maybe they need a new calculator? One that’s doesn’t add pennies and pounds to your order? Pity about the above, because the food was really nice.

Lovely service. Lovely food in a beautiful restaurant. Food prices were average and portions were good 👍

Superb food and great service. A must to go back to.

I payed £100 at this restaurant, the food was presented well but not tasty as it is mentioned on their menus. The waiter was rude and I understand why, because he knew what they serve will not be right for someone who eat at Indian restaurants and make it at home. So in my opinion you need to really drop the prices for the food your serve or start serving good food. Sorry for this review but it is true.

We arrived at the restaurant and greeted and sat down straight away however that’s when it all started to go down hill, the staff are extremely rude as we found a grey hair in the food and a long black hair in another dish to which when we told the staff we was made out to be liars. The manager even said we was “lying” which was ridiculous as none of us have grey hair or black hair which made it worse. We explained we didn’t want another dish but too acknowledge that there was a hair in the food. In the end we got up paid the bill and left without eating. The food was plain and had no spice and the staff are extremely rude. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The best Indian restaurant in all of Wales. Lovely friendly staff that are always willing to help 💜

Disappointing. We all had tandoori chicken and the breast portions were so dry and overcooked I couldn't eat mine. However my paratha was undercooked so I could only eat a part of it. My veg curry side didn't have any vegetables that I could see and was quite bland. My friend said her aloo bhaji was fine though.

Quiet and elegant ambience accompanied with traditional flavours of india. Chicken angara is must try but avoid deserts.

It was nice but room for improvement the guy who works there must of starred at me smiling for the whole time I was there eating my food 👀

Lovely meal and not rushed, lovely space between courses.
