Mumtaz (Leeds City Centre)

• Can have great times with family and friends
• The paneer that we ordered was served hot in a small kadai kept above small burning flame
• Something that is unique and not seen everywhere
• The Dal Tadka yellow lentils was very well cooked too
• The Biriyani was exceptionally good correct amount of saffron and spices used
• To complete a full meal the desserts were awesome the chocolate mud pie
• Firstly the decor is so majestic and tastefully put together
• Very soothing for the eyes with plenty of sunshine coming through their large windows which have a grand view of the dock
• We felt like eating traditional delicacies and were a bit disappointed to learn the ' Masala Brains' had sold out
• Anyhow we went onto to order Paya (Lamb Totters) and the King Prawn Karahi along with their garlic buttered Naan
• The king Prawn Karahi was finger licking good
• Their Paya (trotters) was just amazing
• Our server was British with origins from Calcutta
• The atmosphere is lovely with live piano music
• The service is a little chaotic with someone offering us drinks and as they leave the table someone else approaching us from another angle to offer us more drinks
• Soft drinks are five pound each
• Everything is charged separately
• Children's meals are seven pounds each
• Main meals are served without any accompaniments so everything has to be bought separately
• All staff apart from the waiter who dealt with our initial complaint was useless
• Coming from a customer service background in the same trade I wasn't happy with the reply of 'nobody else has complained' unfortunately isn't good enough
• Not to mention the food which was exceptional
• The food was very average and most of the dishes we had did not taste like they were freshly made
• The lamb leg ordered in with rice and their special sauce
• Service from the Mumtaz management is always on par as well
• I recently visited with my and my friends family the staff were very accommodating with our needs
