Mumtaz in South Gloucestershire

Ordered takeaway, turned up hot, looked and tasted amazing as always, the female delivery driver was lovely and polite 5* definitely recommend.

Highly recommend! Lovely food. Delivered piping hot still by a really friendly driver. I ordered ‘asap’ and it arrived so quickly. The best pasanda I’ve had. Thank you!

Pleasantly surprised of how delicious the food is at the Mumtaz. Visited with friends and was delighted with the friendly hospitality, service and quality of food. Would thoroughly recommend

Always great food delivery driver is always polite and on time well done mumtaz

Fantastic food and quick delivery, Thankyou

Very Good, Early, I have Never been disappointed in either quality of meal or service.

Cold old rice, chicken dish was warm Samosas freshly cooked and hot

Lamb was terrible tuff as a boot

Have only ever had takeaway but on every occasion it’s been absolutely superb. Food tonight arrived super quick and tasted incredible. Will definitely have to come and dine in next time.

Business dinner, staff were very nice, and food looked very good. Have a medical problem! So I'm unable to taste or smell?

Delicious food as always, delivered on time and still warm

Excellent food, service and cost. Undoubtedly the best Indian in Thornbury. Having pre-arranged, they even allowed our Labrador in, albeit early in the evening when quieter. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent food, service and reasonable cost. And allowed our labrador(prearranged) Definitely the best Indian in Thornbury. We'll be back

Best takeaway curry in thornbury, excellent service and lovely curry.

First class chicken bhuna. Would highly recommend

Really nice meal, food lovely, only warning, potions big so we over ordered and could finish it, but was still lovely the next day :-)

this is such an amazing indian restaurant, it’s the best i’ve ever had! there is a lady who works there and she’s so funny she’s changed my life!! best barmaid/waitress i’ve ever met, wish i was friends with someone like her!!! 10/10 would recommend

Haven’t tried here in a while, but excellent takeaway food tonight 😊

Good food, and service, lot of takeaways going in and out. On a Tuesday night we where the only diners. Would go back again

The first curry house I've seen to offer meat-free Quorn chicken pieces alongside the usual options. Made me feel very welcome as a vegan, and the Quorn pieces were cooked in an authentic and delicious style.

Really good food, better than previous so hopefully on the way up in quality. Took about 50 minutes to arrive so a little on the long side but it IS a bank holiday and was worth it. I’d recommend the Chicken Chilli Masala, the tikka chicken is great as it’s clearly oven cooked quality chicken that’s not soggy. Lovely fat peshwari naan as well.

I do like this little Indian restaurant. Its been there a long time. I new menu is good and additional chefs specials are a bonus. 👍🙂

The drinks are 25 percent cheaper than other Indian restaurants and the food is cooked to your instructions just ask the manager Jitesh brilliant friendly service.

Good food, lovely staff, nice ambience. Wanted to dine in but my food was packed takeaway, they apologised, food covered for the error. Finished food forgot to take pics

Fabulous, freshly cooked food, nicely presented, friendly, helpful staff. One of our group has allergies and the staff understood, were very helpful and accommodating, and she had a wonderful meal as a result. This was our first visit to the Mumtaz, but it certainly won't be the last. I've had many balti meals in the Midlands and many travels around India and this was up there with the best of them.

Ordered from here last night for the first time since moving to the area. We chose a few different dishes and all of it was really nice, lots of flavour and good portions. Delivered on time and nice and hot. Would definitely recommend and will order again. Thank you very much

Ordered takeaway for delivery. Arrived exactly when they said it would. Food was hot.when arrived and tasted fab. One of the best curries I’ve had. Definitely will be ordering again.

Love the food. Great home delivery, always on time.

Absolutely delicious. Thank you.

Really nice meal tonight, nice decor, good sized portions and not too expensive. All good !

Ordered some food via JustEat…so We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the gentlemen that welcomed and gave us the food was very polite and friendly. Absolutely great tasty food! We’ll definitely order again very soon

Food was delicious. Lamb jalfraizi and chicken tikka bhuna. Staff very welcoming.

Great food helpful staff ...place could do with an Indian update to make it a little more authentic

We were the only people in the restaurant and the food took an hour to arrive. Cheap, tough cut of lamb boiled and left to go cold and hard presented in a luke warm, lacklustre sauce (same for 2 of us dining). Complained to management who replaced with exactly the same. Recently dined in 'The Bournemouth Lahore' whose north Indian and Pakistani cuisine and hospitality was excellent.

Lovely meal and pleasant evening

Good good, friendly staff, delivery was on time of not early, chicken passanda was amazing Thank you

Have ordered twice on line recently. Very easy to order and delivery on time. Various chicken dishes ordered - all with distinct flavours. Would recommend ordering one degree higher spiciness than described, ie we found “medium” dishes to be quite mild. However, that’s a matter of taste. Good value for money.

Not very impressed with the meal that I’ve ordered this evening considering the last time the food was spectacular… my chicken biryani and garlic nan arrived stone cold. The Jalfrezi was tasteless & the biryani sauce had so much oil in it sat on the top I couldn’t bring myself to eat it!

Nice local. Devious. My go to curry place

We have had the Mumtaz deliver the last two Saturdays and they have been amazing. Great size portions and piping hot. Full of flavour just lovely. Highly recommend. Kelly

I rang up to order a delivery, I was spoken to with appalling attitude. I was trying to pay over the phone with my bank card but the man on the phone was becoming increasingly frustrated as he couldn’t understand simple English (long card number) “oh my god, I don’t have time for this! You should have cash” and started to shout down the phone to me! I will never be using this take away AGAIN! I will also tell all family and friends too.

Booked online, easy. And food was ready for collection on time. Staff showed a good respect for social distance. And as always the food was brilliant! Really looking forward to sitting in and eating. X

Felt like I needed to say this as the mumtaz is a small company and it is always needed during times like this. This is the best takeaway in Thornbury, I always order from here and the curries are absolutely lush, definitely recommend!

Thanks for another cracking takeaway and keeping us going through the lock down. See you soon

Good food and nice to be able to select the spicyness of the curry. Portion sizes of the curry are less than other Indians in the area. (Takeaway tin only half full)

I had a curry night with friends and family on 1 Feb 2020 to celebrate my upcoming 60th birthday. The Mumtaz couldn't have done more to make it such a successful and special evening. Great food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. All the team worked really hard to serve 45 people. Well done Mumtaz!

We regularly order food delivery and always enjoy the food. We have sampled many items off the menu including meat and vegetarian dishes and have never had a bad meal. The staff are friendly and the food is always delivered in good time. You can now also order collection and delivery direct from their website too

Friendly local restaurant. Good food

Very helpful waiters for vegetarians choices.

Good value, friendly staff and always made welcome. 👍

Yet another excellent meal at the Mumtaz - waiter service is polite and respectful, food excellent, waiting time minimal.

Food was stone cold and tasteless. I ordered a vegetable byriani which was basically tasteless rice with a load of frozen veg chucked in. The onion bahji was a funny orange colour and was soft and cold right through. The only thing that tasted OK was the poppadoms. Shan't order from there again due to it not being cheep and I could have made a better byriani myself.

drab interior, staff ok, food was not brilliant, very bland, service was good, but we were the only two in the place

Had a curry there recently. Really impressed with the staff and the help provided with allergy questions. The curry was amazing. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommend the Karachi.

Have just received a delivery from this restaurant , it arrived sooner than I expected so thought the worse , how wrong was I! It was truly authentic , not overly expensive and more than thoroughly enjoyable, I'm quite fussy but simply cannot fault what I have just devoured, that is the best genuine indian food ( How it should be ) I have enjoyed in a very long time .

We were after halal takeaway, Mumtaz came up on our search. My daughter is lactose intolerant, we normally struggle when to choose. However, not only we had more than couple of dishes to choose from but we actually enjoyed the food and would go back again when around Thornbury.

Have visited this restaurant on and off over the past 20 years and once again had an excellent meal with my family in the Mumtaz. Food is excellent, the place is spotless and the staff friendly and want to please. Others come and go but the Mumtaz is worth our support.

Excellent service and the food never disappoints

Nice food, friendly staff and good service. We will return for another meal.

Food and service was lovely. Best naan bread not too stodgy nice and crispy.

Food served in a pool of oil. Yuk!

Love going out for dinner here, delicious food, usually go for the set meal to have a variety of dishes, would recommend a visit!

Every aspect of this Indian is delicious!

Superbly reliable food, very friendly staff, love it.

I have eaten here numerous times per year for many years and I am always greeted by a friendly member of staff. The food is amazing, Always the right temperature, well cooked & well presented. It is consistent and absolutely delicious. Prices are good and similar to others although the portions seem larger which is always a bonus! Its a calm, clean environment and good space around the tables. There are quieter areas too. Would definitely recommend it.

Great food, great staff and overall a very enjoyable experience

Good food good service could do with a lick of paint.

Don't bother food not very good and refuse to deliver

All ways been nice place to have food and have delivered

I can't understand the comments people have put on here. Firstly, I have not eaten inside the restaurant, but have always had take aways. The food is A-Mazing. Hot. Tasty. Fresh. Delicious. I hail from Birmingham, where the Ladypool Road restaurants are top notch. In Thornbury, we are not so blessed with a variety of cuisine; but this is fabulous food. The Reshmi kebabs are a dream. This is THE best tasting food I have ever had in the local area and surrounding areas. HIghly recommend as a take away. Top marks.

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening, excellent food and service will be going back again soon. Quiet when first got there, large group came in - excellent atmosphere.

Food and service top quality. Just lacked atmosphere as we were the only ones eating. Understandable for a Monday night.

Ambience and decor of the restaurant was pretty bland. The restaurant felt dead by all accounts, not just due to lack of customers but the overall colour schemes and the basic furniture that was used.

Wonder welcome and great tasting food. Well worth a visit.

We visited on a Friday evening, there were only one or two other couples there and the restaurant totally lacked atmosphere. We were seated at a small table (there were only 2 of us but as the restaurant was empty we felt that we could have had a larger one) and a really surly waiter offered us menus. No welcome, no warm greeting. I ordered a gin and tonic and when it came it was ready mixed, no mixer bottle offered to mix to my liking, and with a tiny sliver of ice. There was no fizz, in fact it only tasted vaguely of gin. We ordered our food and the poppadums came quite quickly and were OK. The mango chutney and raita were fairly tasteless. Our main meals were disappointing - my chicken dish consisted of very small pieces of meat - could have been the bits left on the carcass after a roast chicken has been carved. The table was not big enough to accommodate the dishes and plates, about a third of our dinner plates were over the table edge. We had to ask 3 times for our drinks to be replenished (I didn't risk another G&T;) and twice for the bill. We were surprised at the total on the bill, it was far higher than we'd expected, especially for the quality of the food and the dreadful service. We first came to this restaurant when we moved to the area 6 years ago and haven't been back since. We won't be returning again.

Nice place, good service and decent food. A good all round local curry house

I am surprised at reading the other reviews, as this is the best Indian I have found since moving to Bristol. I've had takeaway from them twice, and been to eat there twice. The curries have been excellent, only once was my pasanda not hot enough. Never had any other problems with any of the other food at all.

I've never eaten here before and was slightly sceptical when I saw previous reviews. I decided to order a Pakistani dish which consists of meatballs and an egg curry. It was 40 minutes between ordering and receiving the meal, although I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time. And the food was fine. It was meatballs in a curry sauce. I reminded them about the egg and they put a hard boiled egg in the sauce. I'd probably go back and perhaps order something else. Tasty enough. Nothing exceptional, and not particularly cheap, but not deserving of some of the more scathing reviews on here.

I couldn’t believe the angry man who took the order put the phone down on us twice, after 10 years of using this service, no customer service, will not use them again , roll on another Indian in Thornbury and they will be gone

Superb service & delivery time. Food piping hot when received and delicious. Definitely recommend. Had a few times and will continue to do so. Chinese in Alveston Line always engaged so will be Indian for now on!

It is odd to find an Indian restaurant this far done the rankings but when you eat there you may be able to see why. I thought the onion bhaji was a tad over cooked but but it was ok. The Chicken Tikka Pathia was disappointing, the chicken was rather colourless (perhaps not Tikka) and a couple of bits didn’t look like breast of chicken. The sauce was at best a spicy tomato sauce with little substance. Perhaps the worst aspect was that the waiter stank of stale cigarettes every time he came to the table. Very off putting when he is bringing your evening meal. Mumtaz is not for me and there is some distance to travel if trip-advisor rankings are important.

I’m one for giving second chances.

Expensive for what it is.. Pity no other compation now, had a take away not the best nor value for money

Very good food. The place a little bit cold

Good selection, tasted great, standard prices.

Always great service and food and value too

We live in Thornbury and since the demise of Moguls have gone to Winterbourne or Downend for our curry as we have never had a good one from Mumtaz, we thought we would give them another try tonight - Oh dear, it was horrible, the poppadoms were disgusting, cooked in oil that was obviously "off". they went in the bin. the curry was absolutely tastless, the dansak only magrinally less so than the chicken sag, which wasnt curry at all, just chicken and spinach !!/I will never go there again, Please someone open a DECENT curry house in Thornbury

If you're looking for waiters who constantly hover around you this isn't the place for you but if you like a really good curry, not too bothered about plush decor and don't want to be over charged, pay this restaurant a visit. We visited with our family and friends and all had an excellent authentic curry, really nice cuts of chicken and perfectly spiced. Our chicken Jalfrezi and Saag Prawn were superb, we've never had a bad meal here.

We had four meals, all bland. Service was poor, ranging from grumpy to borderline rude, and to top it off the place its self isn't exactly nice. No idea how it has such high reviews.

It was about 8.45 pm and my business partner and I fancied a late meal after a long days work. We had our hearts set on an Indian curry so parked up near the Thornbury High St and went in search of a restaurant. Not knowing the area too well, we asked a few passers-by for recommendations. It seemed there was only one Indian restaurant open this particular evening and it was the Muntaz, and sadly the general consensus of the people we asked was to avoid it. But how bad could it be we thought...

New Year's Day curry with friends (it's become a tradition) and we've never had a bad experience here. However this year the food was even better! Only niggle was we had to wait quite a long time for the food to arrive, which didn't bother us and it was worth the wait! Recommended.

Chicken jalfrezi, Bombay chicken, rice, Peshwari naan, Bombay potato, chicken pakoras, poppadoms & pickles. £32. Both main courses had plenty of good size pieces of chicken. All delicious. Only letdown the poppadoms tasted as if cooked in old fat. We would order again.

6 of us enjoyed a nice meal here after a concert in Thornbury. My hashina (lamb kebab on a sizzling dish) was terrific. Everyone enjoyed their food and service was attentive. Good place.

Lovely food, very accommodating staff

I was disappointed in this restaurant. I thought it would give better service and the food could be much improved. Really disappointed....not sure I would visit this place any time soon...

Good Indian at a good price. We don't go as often as we would like but it is always good when we get time to visit. Service & food are good

Sometimes the food we've had here has been fairly good. Other times, especially the takeaway, has been swimming in water (defrosted?). You're just not sure what you're going to get. Could be better. Likewise the service.

Just ordered a take away from the Mumtaz in Thronbury, Bristol. I am sorry to say it was the most disgusting mess on a plate i have ever seen. There was a horrible powderey taste to the Chicken Tikka Madras. Not authentic at All. My...

Thursday night 10pm, place was empty which says a lot. Staff continually stared at us as if we shouldn't be there. I think the lamb tiikka was beef . This place is going down the pan as the quality is poor, but the prices are...

Visitamos el Mumtaz para mi cumpleaños hermanas, hicimos bien y temprano, ya que no me gusta restaurantes concurridos. El servicio era genial, el personal era simpático y la comida era deliciosa! Somos de una familia asiática así que nos gusta el curry de buena calidad! Hicieron un trabajo fantástico. Yo hice una tarta de cumpleaños para mi hermana y me trajo e incluso cantaron, que era preciosa. El único inconveniente fue el precio de las bebidas era demasiado caro, pero el precio de la comida era muy razonable. Este es un buen restaurante si lo que quieres es una comida íntima en un lugar tranquilo, pequeños encuentros familiares, ya que no está ocupada y la comida es excelente.
