On the outskirts of Regent’s Park, just round the corner from Baker Street, you’ll find Mumtaz, an Indian restaurant serving up traditional and authentic cuisine. This long-standing restaurant has been a staple of the area for years, offering regional cuisine to its locals.
A rather lavish entryway sees columns and ornate arches lining the walls, an inviting welcome that draws you into the stylish dining room, decked out with vibrant foliage and intricate artwork. At Mumtaz, you’ll find a bold interior, with a rich, navy blue and golden colour palette, with a deep blue, velvet carpet and mirrored walls to bounce the light around the space.
Authentic and richly spiced curries are on the menus, with all your favourite dishes. Tuck into a selection of grills or appetisers to start, including the likes of Tandoor spice king prawns or lamb chops that have been coated in a yoghurt and herb marinade and grilled in a traditional clay oven. Elsewhere, enjoy onion bhajis, handmade samosas or the Mumtaz mixed grill including an indulgent selection of grilled meats.
Moving on to mains, the menu is divided into a number of sections with seafood, lamb, chicken and vegetable options all available. Diners can expect the likes of lamb rogan josh, butter chicken, Karahi prawns or a ginger crab masala which has been simmered in yoghurt and comes with basmati rice. On the veggie front, menus offer a selection of curries made using paneer, spinach, cauliflower and potatoes. Be sure to pair with one of the speciality naans and a fluffy bowl of rice for the full experience.
