About Mumbai Lounge
On Fossgate in York, Mumbai Lounge serves Indian food across a ground-floor dining room and an upstairs lounge bar, with large artworks and a mural set against red walls. The menu covers a mixed grill, biryani served with curry and rice, and butter chicken alongside korma, keema rice, dal tadka, and garlic naan, with vegetable samosas to start. Dishes are prepared by Indian chefs and geared toward a milder, English palate. Portions run generous enough that leftovers are common. The restaurant takes walk-ins, with no reservation needed for mid-week visits, and opens daily.

“Very Happy encounter, me and my partner found this by accident. Food and service will be very hard to beat. From start to finish, an exceptional experience!!!!”

“We came here on Thursday 9th July for an evening meal. We chose this place after reading the good reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and was served piping hot. It was the best curry I have had in years. The young ladies that served us were very sweet and polite too. I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely book again next time we visit York ❤️”

“Really nice restaurant and well situated. Visited mid week and no reservation required. Staff all helpful and had the balance of checking all was ok / leaving us to enjoy our meal was spot on. The food was really nice but massala a little to thick tasting for my preference but still really enjoyed it and would visit again. The malbec we had was also really nice. Very good value for a meal out that didn't skimp on quality. Second visit tonight and the staff, food, restaurant did not disappoint - what a place. Great food and for the quality good value too.”

“Recently I have visited York and chose Mumbai Lounge for lunch. The biriyani is really different and amazing. The curry given along is very tasty and can be eaten with rice. Also the service was great and and the lady who served - dont remember the name deserves appreciation.”

“This restaurant is all you can dream of! Delicious food, fast and kind service, I felt like I was at a high-end restaurant | Fine dining! We were 5 (3 adults 2 kids) and ordered 1 butter chicken 1 korma, and a vegetarian type of tomato based curry if I am not mistaken, those 3 dishes were absolutely amazing, and so full filling (we did add 3 sides of rice and 2 garlic naans) and couldn’t finish it all; nice touch of them is giving you an amazing tupper to take home 🏠 Mint chocolate gift is 10 out of 10 And again the staff is super 🤩”

Customer Review Summary
Mixed grill draws the most mentions at Mumbai Lounge, with reviewers describing generous portions of tender meat cooked to perfection and not too greasy. Close behind are the biryani, called really different, and the keema rice, tikka mixed grill, butter chicken and korma. Vegetarian diners single out the vegetable samosas and dal tadka as fresh and full of authentic flavour. Portions come up repeatedly, with several unable to finish their meals, and one family was given a container to take leftovers home. Staff are described as friendly and attentive without lingering, and one reviewer mentions a mint chocolate gift. A malbec is called really nice, and several say they came after reading good reviews and were not disappointed. The caveats are modest. One reviewer found the masala a little thick for their preference, and another asked for a spicier biryani and mixed grill but found them still mild, tailored to the English palate. A couple note some dishes are pricey, though others call the value very good. One diner shook the owner's hand at the end of the meal to thank him.
