Mumtaz Restaurant in Bradford

First time at the Mumraz. The food was amazing as was the service. Thank you Ria :-). Lots of goodies to buy. We will definitely return.

Probably The Best Curry I have ever eaten. Visited 2:00pm Sat 12 Oct 24 with a family member. We were impressed by the size, opulence and cleanliness of the interior. The staff looked crisp and smart. Well done! We were served by the lovely Ria, who periodically checked that our food was more than okay. Five stars + for attentive and polite service. As the restaurant had just opened, we were the first in and for the next two hours there were no more than 3 families present. We appreciated this 'quiet' time in which to consume our meal. If you like peace and quiet- go early! Poppadoms (extremely light and crispy) were complemented by the most diverse pickle tray that I have ever eaten. Chicken pakora starters- I have never seen a lighter, crisper, cleaner batter on food. Lamb Dopiaza cooked to order with a madras + spice effect- perfect- except (a minor issue- I had to ask for it to be reheated- but to be fair the ambient air temp was quite cold; they had just opened). Garlic Naan was served with plenty of garlic and the keema biryani rice was to die for. My son had Bhindi curry and stated it was gorgeous. The meal was complemented with a mango lassi; of which the constituency was just right and a soft drink. I was not impressed by the commoditisation of water- which was sold at £2.50 a small bottle. I was not impressed by the male waiter interrupting our conversation with our female waiter and re-tasking her; especially when the restaurant had minimal people in. It came across as sexist; male on female- not acceptable in the 21st Century. Training needed. My son paid- he never leaves a tip. He left a tip! I can see why this restuarant was chosen to host the late HM The Queen. It certainly is fit for a Queen. We will be back.

Went in here on a Friday night. Restaurant was pretty empty with only a few tables occupied. Staff just ignored us whilst we waited to be seated by the sign. Carried on talking to each other as though we weren't there. Eventually was shown to a table and handed 2 sticky falling-apart menus. We were then ignored for another 20 minutes or so. Again, plenty of staff milling around chatting to one another. This did give us a chance to notice how run down this place has got. Threadbare seating. Tired decor. Zero atmosphere. Enough was enough. We got up and left without even being challenged! As we were leaving, I noticed a tray of food coming out of the kitchen. Some kind of pasta dish. Maybe lasagne (I noticed they had that on the menu). I remember it being a real occasion visiting this restaurant when I lived in Yorkshire some 20 years earlier. I honestly felt like they didn't welcome my custom!

Amazing food! Best curries in Bradford by far, service is perfect every time, and a beautiful place. We have come here as a family and on our own as a couple and we all enjoy the food and atmosphere.

I've had two amazing meals at this place on separate occasions and can honestly say it is top knotch food. Very impressed. Lovely and clean, spacious environment and amazing food. I especially love the garlic naan, and the takeaway fridges and desserts make it a place to visit also. If I am in Bradford, this is where I eat ✌️❤️🙏

Nimra, Ria and Omar made me feel so comfortable the service they gave was second to none. It's been over 20 years since I last here and the food was still amazing. I will be back with friends and family thanks for a lovely evening.

Great food, huge portions, great service

Has this place gone downhill big time or what? I have being going for 30+yrs but not so frequently lately due to the dropping standards. They are cutting corners on everything and nothing is same as before; what made them great. For a start their overworked staff who are untrained and do not know the basic etiquetts of waiting. They basically 'throw' everything on table. We ordered the falooda as we used to enjoy it. But this time it was totally different and awful. It was just milk shake with a bit of ice cream and noodles; none of those little ball things (tukmeria?) and no kulfi.

It's been a few years coming back to Mumtaz. We had the mix grill and butter chicken curry with tandoori roti. Both the grill and curry were made perfectly. We finished off with kashmir tea and Rasmali. Really enjoyed the meal and atmosphere

Great restaurant with quality food and amazing service. We have been a few times in the last couple of months. The service from Ria has been outstanding. She was so professional, polite and an asset to the Mumtaz staff. She was one of the reasons we have come back to Mumtaz repeatedly.

The building was nice and attractive with and amazing atmosphere welcoming nice vibes and happy family but the service was not good nor was the hygiene the starter plates served every single one them came out dirty and had stains of food and so did the cutlery really put me off but regardless we ordered and the food was decent but a lot of improvements could be made but great job just please take these notes in just to improve on certain things to provide the best outstanding hospitality and food and just give everyone the best experience possible and grow the bussiness even further✅

The quality has unfortunately dropped. By a lot. There used to be a time, when royalty was flocking to Mumtaz. Now, the restaurant we have visited yearly for at least 20 years is not the same it once was. It’s not the same as it was last year. The standard and quality has dropped, and a change is direly required. Although we probably will never return, unless there is an evident change, which can be seen by other customers, we have appreciated what once was, and are extremely upset, that, the restaurant that once was, arguably, the best is no more. Something I forgot to mention, the day before, I rung the restaurant, with an enquiry about a dish they serve. The lady who answered the phone promptly hung up on me, before I could even finish my question.

Excellent as usual, food was great, we were sitted straight away and service was fast and good. Plenty of choice in the menu .

Used to go here and than had terrible experience about 15 years ago. Than last night my friend said they have improved. Absolutely terrible experience. Food is better at a local delivery restaurant…… very expensive and not good value for money and worse was the tava kharahi and the platter for 4. Lamb kebab & chicken tikka were pre-made and just microwaved. I’m a fair guy and always eat out few times a week. But for Bradford standards they have really gone down the drain.

If your looking for an authentic restaurant this is the place. The food is next level and service is exceptional. I would recommend the masala fish, superb

I went down to Mum‘s for my brother‘s birthday party with my whole family to start off. It wasn’t very warm inside it was a little cold. We ordered masala fish, creamy chicken pasta, chicken Nambali, butterfly chicken. chicken nambali was decent however they used standard red onions when I wanted, white onions secondly the butterfly chicken was really hard and we couldn’t eat it so instead of us asking them to make us a fresh one we simply we simply asked them to knock off the bill

Amitabh Bachchan should visit again!

Top quality NW Indian restaurant. Good range of Punjabi [and culturally adjacent] cuisine. Fancy atmosphere.

Mumtaz was rated 5th best restaurant in Bradford. Terrible experience. Service atrocious. Drinks brought out without glasses. Mains were brought out without new plates - had to ask for them. Food quality not great. Only decent dish was the masala fish. Waiters seem rushed and told us the meat dish was the veggie dish. Our vegetarians were not impressed. I would avoid this place.

Nice meals with recommendations from a staff member. Loved it.

good quality food, family environment

Love the food! Brilliant service! Wonderful experience!

One of the best currys in Bradford

Butter chicken takeaway Few lumps of chicken in a watery sauce so disappointing it had no flavour and was unappetising.. not nice

Great staff, impeccable service - really went out of the way to wait on our large group!

great food, lovely server called ria. she made our experience so special and was very helpful……………………………………………………..

Whilst visiting Bradford decide to go mumtaz, very disappointed, food was disgusting, especially the butter chicken service was poor

My best compliments, for the best service & customer service from the waiter Hamad & his supervisor, Hutap and of cource, the best Shou Chef- Head Cook, Mr Mumtaz, the owner, as well… God, Allah t’ Allah, will give to you & your families, the highest of the Barakats, the most super of the Rewards and Makhanah Mahmudah, Ameen !!! I enjoy your really very low Indian and Pakistani music, on the backround… Ashtaghfir Allah for small sin, enjoyment, in this life, our past time life…

Food was average prices were little expensive ordered two portions of small rasmallie charged me £12 pounds,it's expensive for two small portions of rasmallie.

Very expensive i.e. 12 poppadoms, £9 complete rip off. They rip people off because they can and they add extras without asking to increase your bill, not very professional. Wont go back there in a rush.

Very disappointed chicken was smelly red chutney was rotten Chicken wings r also not fresh We will never go again ☹️

All round decent experience Butter chicken was good Mixed grill was really good Thanks to Awais for hospitality and service

I last visited Mumtaz’s over a decade ago, and have very fond memories. So it was disappointing to have a more mediocre experience today. Service was a little poor — we had to remind the waiter to get our drinks after some of our starters had arrived. When they did arrive, drinks marked as Fanta and Diet Coke were actually replaced by off brand “premium” drinks which did not taste premium. Additionally, a request for two portions of one starter were delivered as a single portion. We were then advised it would take a further 15 minutes to get the additional starter out, which we declined. Mains were really lovely, as was the gulab jamun. Quality of service could definitely be improved by more clearly marking out the soft drinks menu, and by offering fresh, new copies of menus to all guests, rather than the tatty, often stained copies. The current approach just doesn’t match the otherwise beautiful interior of the restaurant.

We are 11 friends of Edin-Pak from Edinburgh visited Bradford. We had dinner at Mumtaz Bradford. Delicious food fantastic service especially Ria. We all enjoyed.

Loyal to mumtaz since 1986 and still travel to indulge in their fantastic dishes.

I am visiting with my husband and I love the food and atmosphere 💟😋 service is really good from Syed Arsal He is really nice person who was very helpful and polite 😊😊😊😊😊 he is very cute and sweet 😊😊😊😊

Had the pani puri and mixed grill to start. Pani puri was amazingly spicy and tangy. Main was lamb Karahi which was the best handi I have had when eating out. Amazing service from Syed Arsal amazing young chap who was very attentive

We had a delightful dining experience at Mumtaz Bradford. Syed provided exceptional service with a warm and welcoming attitude throughout our meal. The food was simply fantastic, bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mumtaz Bradford and left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. Highly recommended for a wonderful dining experience!

Amazing customer service from the member of staff yesterday. We really enjoyed the food (highly recommend the Bindhi lamb and butter chicken) and will happily come back!

The waitress Ria was brilliant. Made our first time here exceptional. She's an asset to Mumtaz Will definitely be back again

Do not go here! I found a deceased horsefly inside of my Kebada. Also, the waiter went in the toilet and when I went in there was a certain sticky substance on the toilet seat! Disgusting!

We booked for my sisters birthday. The food was delicious and the staff were really helpful with everything especially Syed. Thank you

We wanted something spicy and yum so we came to Mumtaz, the lady who served us, Ria was spot on with her recommendations and got the perfect spice levels cooked up for us. We ordered Keema Aloo and Chicken Biryani and both were brilliant! We ended the great meal with kulfi and cheesecake, lovely experience overall!

Very nice Resturant nice food good service

Halal tasty food beautifully decorated

Incredible service. Fun and welcoming staff. The food is fresh tasty and perfect. There's a reason this is the best place in Yorkshire. Second to None.

It had been a while since, I have been to Mumtaz for a meal, out with family and friends in Bradford, so we decided to go, as some had not been before. It was fairly quiet and we were seated quickly. Starters we went for the masala fish, and lamb chops, chicken tikka, and the seekh kebab donner. The starters were OK, but I remember the fish tasting better on previous visits. The starters were average for the premium prices, definitely gone down a notch since my last visit a few year's ago, which Mumtaz was a regular spot for me when in Bradford. The mains we ordered the recommendation of the waitress, the punjabi lamb karahi and butter chicken. The butter chicken was not creamy enough, and didn't have the butter taste, instead infused with spice. Overall, it was not up to par for the prices they're charging and the fact they're trying to be a premium brand, the food was not on par. With the competition of other restaurants in the area, I can see myself not returning again for some time. On a positive the interior was beautiful, staff were very friendly and helpful. Just overall disappointed with the level of quality of the food.

The food was uncooked sent it back 2nd time when comeback it was same wouldn't recommend

Very good curry! excellent spiced food

I came here as part of my 27th Wedding Anniversary. My husband told them so but nothing special was put in place on our table(candle etc). The service was amazing.- our waiter went above and beyond his duty which made our experience of the restaurant better. The food smelled delicious when it arrived, I ordered vegetable samosas as a starter which were delicious but a bit spicy. Also, the tandoori chicken massala, but it was very spicy and I ended up taking half of it home ( my husband ate the rest of it). They don't serve alcohol so we had freshly squeezed orange juice which was the best I've tasted. Loved this restaurant. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Such delightful and delicious food. I think it is the best desi food restaurant in the whole UK. Each food item was excellent. The naans are the bestest. I have never had such soft and delicious naans before. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was very good. 10 stars for Mumtaz restaurant ✨️

Amazing food, opulent restaurant. Not the cheapest but highly recommend for a celebration or treat. Brilliant service from the young guy that served us

Food is beautiful, service is amazing by mr syed.highly recommended. Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️

Customer service was on point and very friendly towards my kids especially from one waiter who was seating people food wasn't all that the fact I asked for mayonnaise and was given yogurt lol also the seekh kebabs doner well its not donner if its a full seakh kebab on naan seriously but overall its definitely nice eating from there

Food is nice but nothing to write home about. Atmosphere and service are good. We ordered paneer palak and the paneer pieces were quite hard. The onion bhajis had not been cooked long enough so the potatoes weren't cooked through drinks were good as was the fish starter and daal. Too expensive for mediocre food

We paid a high premium eating at this restaurant but our meal was way below par. We would have received better standards at a local takeaway. The chicken biryani was way too salty, lamb karahi was salty, the sauce for the lamb karahi was not good, the samosas dripping in oil, the paani puri lacked flavour as I was told they don't use tamarind and was too watery. The staff were also spraying cleaning detergent on tables and chairs nearby where we were eating.

Very good customer service. And also tasty food as well.

Great place to go with family

Always on point .. nothing more to say. You get what you pay for at Mumtaz. If you want to experience a special meal out then Mumtaz all day long

Absolutely loved the food with excellent service. Ordered Punjabi Karahi as per suggestion from staff and it was 10/10, was skeptical about chappal kebab as it is not their expertise but on our surprise it was so good. Overall, we loved our trip in that peaceful environment.

Nice food some of there sauces are so yummy nice environment and not expensive at all

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Our waiter Sayed Arsal was so helpful and considerate.

This restaurant never disappoints! Great staff and the best Indian food ever!

The host was really friendly and took us promptly to our table, service was great from our waiter Syed, really took his time to explain the menu to us. We got the pickle tray and poppadoms to start off with, biggest pickle tray selection I’ve seen. Had the mix grill, butter chicken and some naans everything was cooked perfect. Honestly can’t fault this place

Mumtaz Restaurant in Bradford offers a delightful culinary experience, heightened by impeccable service from Syed. The Punjabi Karahi and Chicken Desi dishes were bursting with authentic flavors, leaving a lasting impression. Syed's attentive service added a personal touch to the dining experience, making it truly memorable. A definite must-visit for anyone craving exquisite Pakistani cuisine in Bradford.

Place gone downhill very poor quality of food .the waiters are fake coming to your table on false pretence asking if you would salad or poppadom then behind your back they charging. I got charged nearly $50 and that's just for 2 people I ordered dhaal if 4 different varieties and could only taste 1 with 2 red kidney beans . Looks like new owners are just out to grab your money and fool you whilst doing it Be aware of the false especially the girl !!!

Really bad food Rude service And starting arguments

Long time since my last visit. Same quality of food as before. Would recommend. Had seekh kebabs for starters with the biggest pickle tray in the world (£5). And khari chicken and garlic and coriander naan. Very nice

I visited the Bradford branch last year and I was impressed by the refurbishment, so I decided to take 10 guests to this establishment on Eid yesterday with terrible results. After making a phone reservation we were seated upstairs to my surprise, a first for me, it's so outdated compared to the decor downstairs. We felt like an afterthought for the staff, and what was supposed to feel like a special setting felt like a 2 star joint, only that we get to pay the same bill as those enjoying the setup downstairs. The food was okay, the bathrooms require improvements.

Food was way overpriced and just standard. Could get similar quality from Ambalas down road for half the price. Waiter was really good. Gave it 4 stars because the 2 girls at the counter were arrogant and very slow.

Best seekh kebabs in Bradford taste them you won’t be dissatisfied.

Exceptional quality food and fantastic service . Easily the best place for traditionally cooked curries in the country.

Poor! Lived in Bradford my entire life and this was the worst curry I have had. Under cooked chicken wings, frozen seekh kebabs full of gristle, flavourless curries! My son who isn’t picky with food refused to eat it. £40 in the bin, won’t return and would not recommend.

Great place have a new lounge upstairs

Quantity was less and service was so poor . Tasteless food

Haven’t been for a few years and I have to say the changes are not for the better. Large blinged up canteen atmosphere …. With music so loud I couldn’t my partner talk. The service was poor …. Basic things like starter plates not being taken away before mains arrived. Mains arriving and having to wait for cutlery. Dishes plonked on the table… and children with buckets asking for money while diners ate. The food was edible but uninspiring. Will not be returning anytime soon.

We went for Ramadan Iftar The food was excellent and delicious. The staff was amazing . Especially Muhammad sayad Arsal take care of our order really well

Samosa chaat did not taste fresh, lasagne was okay but lacked that overall cheesy sauce the fish was tasty but naan was like a cracker

The food was absolutely amazing, Laiba made some great recommendations, the customer service was great. Will definitely be back soon :)

Laiba was an amazing waitress, food was amazing and her service was really good. She was very polite and always on the ball

Laiba is very good in customer service and she is very good im talking as well. Thanks for laiba for the service. I appreciate her a lot and also i have talked with other three people so everyone is good in talking with customers and service

Food was given quite late and it took them a while to prepare the Passionfruit Martini Mocktail. Food was somewhat alright yet the butter chicken curry was not as creamy as before plus the chicken and keema curry was spicy even though we requested mild. The Leeds Mumtaz is still my first preference in terms of Indian food. Bradford needs to up their game.

Beautiful and delicious food, very friendly and efficient staff. Special thanks to Syed for his excellent and attentive service. B

Very disappointed at the so so slow service, as the restaurant wasn't busy either. Food just not satisfactory at all.

Had a really lovely meal, we felt very welcome and the staff were all really great. Our waiter Syed was absolutely brilliant! He made sure everything was perfect, it being my sisters birthday when I had told him he just knew what to do! He made sure we were always happy, and got everything we needed super fast! Lovely experience

What can I say, went after 8 years, food still rubbish had no taste to it, service wasn't all that, didn't even come round to see if we needed anything then they expect for a TIP???. Think twice, music was abit too loud, im not usually the person to complain. Definitely won't be going back.... how can management not see that not a good service, seriously 😐

The food as usual was exceptional but the experience was made more pleasurable for the whole family because of the avid attendence and warmth and friendliness of Syed our personal waiter. Please give him our thanks😊

Lost its razzle, food was relatively bland, waiters pushy, lights not working above table.

Big car park behind. Best curry this year freshly cooked. Try the desi options cooked like mum makes it

Worse food known to mankind, service was excellent, food I would not feed to a pig, I came from Glasgow on an important mission, but the food was mid, fix it up or otherwise. 😩

Food was definitely overrated. I've been wanting to go here for years when visiting Bradford and decided to bite the bullet this time. I'd give it a 2/10. We ordered karahi rojash thing with roti and starters. Everything was premium except for the quality of the actual food. Karahi had big chunks of hard peppers and onion--like they weren't cooked to the perfect texture. Which it should be when you're charging £14 for it. It was cooked like how I'd cook it in a rush at home and not let the base ingredients blend with the meat and add flavour. Makes me wonder what B-Tech budget chefs they've got in the back lol. Menu was paper with pixelated images on the back which felt "cheap". Anyways, there was a hair in my poppadom (picture attached). None of the waiters spoke fluent English either. Overall, it was not up to par for the prices they're charging and the fact they're trying to be a premium brand. If you're from Birmingham, this place is nothing compared to our locals like Tipu Sultan or Poncho Kaana. Would not come here or recommend if your taste buds are experienced with desi food. A gorah would like this, not an aapna who's family can cook lol. Last visit for me.

Booked in advance for 14 people. Arrived on time. Were given a table for 10 people and were told to put the kids on chairs on the side. Refused and had to wait again for a table. 40 mins later received a made shift table, round tables joined together, next to the kitchen entrance. (Dangerous with children). Asked for another table and were told the remaining tables were reserved. Food was ok. Was difficult with kids bumping into staff coming out of kitchen. Not a great experience.

Food was fantastic, pickle tray had lots of different pickle choices. Atmosphere was good, service was good

Went with my daughter for her 21st birthday treat and the meal was top notch for quality of ingredients and spice profile. We had lamb chops for starter, Rogan Josh, Chicken Desi masala and chicken methi for mains with a (large) roti apiece. Thoroughly enjoyable food. Great atmosphere and attentive service. Early teatime dining on a Saturday many families there. If you want a special curry experience with bona fide desi flavours, then you can't do better. One of Bradford's best Asian restaurants, worth the slightly higher than the Bradford average curry cost. For the curry connoisseur according to my daughter and I agree. Ten out of ten

Komal is an exceptional member of your team. She didn't hesitate to help , very confident lady. Everything went smoothly and she made my birthday specialxxx

Komal was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very accommodating and kind. the food was amazing as always and will definitely come again

Best curry ive had in a long time!!

The quality of food has dropped significantly, we use to enjoy the food here really a lot, the lassi was undrinkable, sour and bubbly, expired clearly , we throw it in the bin, the meat use to be be with flavour and now its flat, chicken wings barely cooked, I don't know.what happened here, but you guys better do something. As it is now, I won't be ordering and eating there anymore, do something and go back at the quality that you guys had.

Had a great experience at Mumtaz Bradford. Was my first time and I would definitely go back! We ordered poppadoms & pickle tray, mixed starter for two, chicken tikka masala, lamb dopiaza, chips, garlic naan (with cheese on top), chocolate fondant, sticky toffee pudding, papri and mango lassi. Washed down with iron bru - my fave! Everything was delicious and piping hot. Special shout outs to the pickle tray - it was huge and there was so much choice. The naan was gorgeous and the chicken tikka curry masala I had. The desserts we had were made in house and were chefs specials, definitely worth a try. The service was top notch. Our waiters were all very attentive - so much so we left a large tip. The restaurant was clean, tidy and was nice inside. I personally loved the large letter from Buckingham Palace on the wall. You could buy sweets and Mumtaz products at the front of the restaurant too. Free parking was available round the back too.
