Just been for the Sunday buffet. Food was delicious and good service. Plenty of selections for starters, mains, rice, nann, sides and rice pudding dessert. Freshly cooked and fantastic value at £14.99 per person. I tried the lamb kara which was so tender and tasty. Also has chicken tikka massage and korma, which are always my go to. Always a nice welcome from the owner and his team. 👋

Somewhat disappointing, when I booked there was no mention of it being a “banquet night” the place was full of groups of blokes out for a jolly good evening and a curry, it was so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves speak. This is a bring your own beer place great for the lads but not for couples, the food was average but hot but sadly the Korma my wife had was nothing more than an overcooked mush very dissatisfied but we were reimbursed for this. Wouldn’t recommend it for a nice quiet night out.

Meal out with Mrs K after going to Bournemouth Air Show. Very impressed with this restaurant. The staff were excellent, attentive and very polite. But the food was the real star. We had poppadoms with a nice selection of the usual lime pickle, mango dip etc. Then I had Chicken Tikka in a Madras sauce with Mushroom Rice and a plain Nan. All were 10/10. The Madras was hot, but not so it destroyed the taste of the chicken. Mrs K had Chicken Tikka, plain rice and a chapati. Again 10/10 and clean plates all round. One thing to note is that there is no alcohol lincence but you are welcome to bring your own. When the bill arrived, it was a very pleasant surprise and I thought great value for the money. Will definitely be back if ever in the area.

Booked for an early dinner at 18.30 on a Friday, the restaurant is a short walk from our house, so it's perfect. Perhaps not surprisingly, given it's reputation, there were already 4 other tables that had beaten us. They operate a policy of bring your own booze, which keeps the price down compared to other restaurants in Bournemouth The decor inside is really warm and all of the staff are super friendly. Hassan seems to be everywhere ensuring everyone is looked after, and a special mention to Chloe, who just passed her driving test! We ordered popadoms, 1 starter, 2 mains and 2 side dishes, and a desert and it came to £36. Brilliant value and superbly cooked. It's getting to the stage that if you don't book, you probably wont get a table. So please stay away !! haha

We dined on a Wednesday. The food was excellent. Tasty and strong. We loved it. We enjoyed the nice atmosphere and we brought our own wine and beer. When we left the restaurant was packed. Not surprised. It was ‘mumtaz’ which is Arabic for excellent.

A fantastic restaurant. We go every month and it is consistently excellent. Lovely staff and the food is always great. We’ve now tried most dishes, I’ve recently been having a lamb madras, it’s beautifully spiced, not overly hot and has a superb gravy. Highly recommend and the fact you can take your own beer is a big bonus.

This was our pub quiz teams night out and it was great. Booked for 7pm on a Friday and by half past the restaurant was pretty much full up which is a measure of the reputation of the great food, value for money and the staff. Best value restaurant food in Bournemouth and for those who have not been before, there are 2 rules: BOOK AHEAD and BYOB. Remember these and a great night is guaranteed.

Three visits in as many weeks - family and friends all agreed that this is our best local curry house. Not only is the food superb, fresh, tasty and extremely reasonably priced, but the service is excellent. I can highly recommend that you visit.

I have been trying to come here for two years ever since the original owners ( as Abduls) suddenly closed it without any warning. It is now under a new owner as Queen Mumtaz. In Bournemouth for a long weekend for the air show we came here twice. First time for a usual dinner from the menu. That was good. A couple of days later for the Sunday buffet. I enjoyed the buffet although I am aware that not everyone does. So I would say to the new owner, well done. Especially continuing the BYO which I especially like. It has only been open for two to three months and probably still becoming better known.

The food at Queen Mumtaz is delicious and of a high quality, There's an open kitchen, so you can see everything being cooked. A lovely recently refurbished restaurant that has a traditional feel with a modern twist. A varied menu, with all the old favourites and some specialities, I ca highly recommend Nilgrili lamb and chicken Anarkoli. You can take your own alcohol, so it's a great value option. I would highly recommend a visit and we'll be returning again soon.

We love the Mumtaz and gave the buffet a try for the first time. The food was laid out in food Warmer's, help yourself to whatever you want. 1 set price of £14.99 so nice and easy to budget, as you take your own booze, that's the total price. The Currys were mild medium and hotter, so all palates were covered. They ran out if chicken wings pretty much as soon as we arrived and they were not replaced which was a shame as the 1 I had was decent. I'm glad we tried it but will stick to the normal menu from now on, I'm my opinion it's much better value .

My wife and I really rate the Queen Mumtaz. It's become our go-to Indian restaurant. 'Fancy a curry?' 'Absolutely, see if you can get a table at the Queen Mumtaz.' During June and July we probably went five times. The food is excellent and it's a BYOB place, so it's unbelievably cheap. It's the booze that wracks up the price in restaurants, but here we're literally pay £40 or £50 per couple, or about £90 for four of us. I know I said the food is excellent, but it really is great curry. And the waiting staff and the owner, who's always floating about, are so friendly. Everyone is extremely hospitable. This is a great find, and we'll keep on returning.

I couldn’t fault a thing. Food also arrived boiling hot and delivery man was happy and helpful even though I was his last delivery as it was 10:30pm (closing time!)

The food at Baboo Ji is among the best vegetarian Indian cooking I have come across. I first visited in April 2022 with a work colleague and now it is one of my go to eateries when I'm in the area. The staff are friendly and seem to know most of their customers well, always a sign that they care about returning trade. Definitely a 5 star venue. Sadly, I've just found out they are having to close this restaurant but are looking for new premises to re-open. Keep an eye on their social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for info on the new site when it comes.
