  “Would really recommend this place. The interior feels quite upmarket and the staff are very attentive. But most of all the food is delicious and good portions. Lived in St Albans a while and hadn’t tried this place before but will definitely be back.”

  “A very posh place — you immediately feel the elegance and cleanliness as soon as they open the door for you. When you leave, they escort you to the way out, opening the door with a big smile and thanking you, which makes the experience feel very special. The food is amazing — definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in town. We had the poppadoms, chicken tikka masala, and saffron rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavours were rich and authentic, and the presentation was beautiful. The service is outstanding — truly the best ever. Highly recommended.”

  “Having walked past many times we finally caved and came for the lunch and early bird special. Although one of the more expensive set menus in St Albans at £21.95 PP it is one of the few that runs into the evening. Chez mumtaj certainly delivers on flavour, we ordered: Garlic chili prawns Aloo Tikki Lamb rogan Josh Paneer Manchurian This came with butter naan and garlic naan Each dish had its own separate flavour and were all delicious. The prawns were a particular treat along with the lamb. Service was friendly and efficient. Not pushy, the waiter checked if we wanted more drinks etc. We will 100% come back.”

  “Food was absolutely incredible, very good flavours and unique dishes. Service was bang average nothing to complain about but nothing to remember either, they did their job. Atmosphere for a Saturday night was great, we came at 8:30pm and it was great. They turnt off the music which was why it is not a 5. Overall great experience and I would go again mainly because of the food.”

  “I went there for my first time and I noticed the place was totally empty, it took a while to understand if they had a table for two and eventually got something. In general food was good, bottle of wine starts from 25 GBP and ended up to be about 35 GBP each. The dinner place was too big, at least you would think it was from looking outside, and they had a small bar place at the entrance. I might go back to try the bar but food was a be it expensive.”

  “Wonderful place to experience Indian food in st Alban's. We found this gem of a place through its high ratings and many awards. The staff are really nice and cater to your needs. The food was well presented and tasted authentic. Cocktails where superbly made. The decor is classy. The only bad point I have to say is as I came late I could tell the staff were eager to close up and go home , and I understand. I will definitely be back”

  “High-end Indian restaurant situated on London Road close to town in St Albans. Lovely interior with crisp white table cloths, luxurious ambience and good service . The food was nice. We had the Mumtaz salad ( excellent), salted lassi, coriander naan ( soft and light), prawns ( very good quality), biryani, lemon rice and spinach with paneer. The spinach was amazing, unlike any we have had before in an Indian restaurant. To end, we had mango brulee also very good. This is one of the best Indian restaurants that St. Albans has to offer. Would visit again. Nice place for a celebration”

  “Excellent Indian restaurant. I've been a few times and the food has always been delicious. A lot of innovative dishes which you don't typically see. Portion sizes were good. Tiger prawns were really big and delicious and the Lamb Xacutti was probably my favourite, a truly tasty but unique flavour and tender pieces of lamb.”
