Creamy Indian rice pudding infused with cardamom, garnished with almonds and raisins. Sweet, rich, and aromatic dessert.

"After not visiting Chez Mumtaj for a couple of years, we were pleased to see that the food quality has remained consistent. My wife enjoyed a delicious duck dish and my lamb shank was excellent. However, I have deducted a few stars due to the slightly disorganized service. We were seated at the wrong table initially and had to switch, and we had to request fresh table water multiple times. Despite this, the service was polite overall."

"So I've been going to this shop since my Teenage years, now I'm an adult. I love how it's an authentic Turkish restaurant run by a Turkish family. Good people serving good food. I have friends that travel for 20 minutes for their special home made Chilli sauce. For sure it's worth a try. It's a nice family run shop which the family still work hard on. In fact I grew up watching them develope it and can tell you the quality has not slipped, only improved. Good food at fair prices. Will surely be back soon."

"Initially, we found ourselves sitting next to a rowdy crowd, but they quickly arranged a special table for us in a quieter area. They went above and beyond to accommodate us with genuine smiles. To top it off, they surprised us by pairing our good beers with champagne and a delightful assortment of vegetarian appetizers. Above all, the service was gracious and cheerful. The food exceeded all our expectations—it was, without a doubt, the best Indian cuisine any of us had ever tasted. Our group of seven, hailing from various food-centric cities in the USA, including Portland, Oregon, and New York City, was truly awakened by Mala's culinary offerings. During our five-day trip, which included lunch at Ottolenghi, we unanimously declared Mala our favorite dining experience."

"I would like to start off my review with praise for the staff and the decor of the establishment. I absolutely loved the unique decoration of the inside of the restaurant, from the strobes of multicoloured lights, the glass mosaics and drawings and the Afghan Styled (as I had been informed) seating in the lower end of the restaurant, which was not made for our family style but we are very sure is much appreciated by those who do use it. The staff was very helpful for my visit, I would like to thank the waiters and the hosts who were always alert for their kind hospitality, as well as the chef 's for their nice food. in my most humble opinion, the food was very good, though could be improved. Overall I 'd give my visit a mediocre 7/10 and will definitely recommend this establishment to families and friends. follow me for more reviews on restaurants x"

"We stopped in here on a whim for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is a casual and cosy vibe and the food was wonderful. We were a little unsure of what to try, so asked for some recommendations from the waiter who was very helpful and made excellent choices. This excluded the buttered chicken as that was my partner's own choice. It was very nice if you like that dish but paled in comparison to the rich flavours in the other dishes. The only down side was that we were pressed for time and was unsure if we had time for dessert. The waiter gave a very poor estimation of their arrival which left us rushing to eat and exit to make our reservation. Overall though I would definitely go again, the food was delicious and definitely worth a try for a modern take on Indian cuisine."

"Thank you Melanie Phillips for your review of this establishment. My family are booking purely on the back of this review. It's about time restaurants took a stand on allowing dogs in. It is unhygienic and some people even lift them up to the table gross habit. There should only be officially registered guide dogs allowed in restaurants. I understand during the day some cafes bending the rules but surely dogs can be left a short time while you eat a lovely meal without dog hair. Well done spice house you've got our business Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"Gymkhana was a good experience. The food was high end and the price wasn’t as high as I would expect for this location in Mayfair. The dress code is fancy, so dress to impress! The drinks were subpar but the good was AH MAY ZING. I tried the truffle and mushroom biryani this is super recommended. The butter chicken was beautiful too. Kasoori chicken is also recommended. The Gol Guppa were good! I want to come back and try the tandoori chicken, the next table had this and it looked aosososos good. The wait staff were super nice, a little awkward sometimes, but nice. The ambiance in the restaurant was pleasant and comfortable. Felt very high end and fancy. Really loved it. The only reason for a drop in star is because the hostess was a little pushy, she wanted our table back. It’s not like we were there for long, we stayed a 2 hour max but I went for dinner and catch up with a friend, which we continued afterwards but just felt a little pushed out prior."

"A cheap food for Pakistani cuisine. Will not recommend the whole menu, but their chicken biryani, chicken curry offers are good and worth the price. The chicken biryani is mixed with good biryani recipe not like rice with curry types. They are also quite fresh as they sell well daily. Taste is very much house style nothing like a restaurant preparation. You can literally cook the same food at home. £3 for Biryani and £4.50 for Curry plus 2 Roti."

"I had a wonderful birthday dinner here last Friday and couldn't find anything wrong with the food or the service. The staff were delightful, well-informed about the menu, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. It's quite rare to come across restaurants like this these days. I will definitely be returning!"

"I am a crazy, crazy curry lover and have made some quite remarkable and extensive research in this area over many, many years. don't they believe me? look at my photos! Anyway, that was just the most tasty curry I've ever had. I do not say that it is the best, because this is like the comparison of lovers and I will not plan on facebook anytime soon! I'm spoiled for what's available where I live, but this place was another level seriously. the lame just hacks incredible. the dry meat lush and delicious. even the simple Pulao rice was read. I can't wait to go back. as someone can't give this place are 5 stars beyond me."

"Under new management. Beware of the star rating of this one it used to be good, now it isn 't. I reviewed this restaurant back in 2017. The food was nice, well made, and even though it appeared to have been 'adapted ' to the Italian palette, it was very enjoyable. We haven 't been for a couple of years, but a recent trip to Milan found me looking at the menu of Rangoli. It offers many more types of dish than before, and so we booked and gave it a go. What a disappointment! From beginning to end. There are no longer poppadums, instead, there is a dry, flatbread (like .5mm flat) which I have never experienced before in any Indian restaurant. This is served with a rather acidic mint sauce, and a sour sauce. Moving on to a starter, I ordered the Chicken Pakora one of my favourites from my past experience. Awful. It was dry the chicken, in particular, was dried out, hard to chew, and did not appear to be very good meat. Brown and mashed. I couldn 't finish it. It didn 't taste fresh. Onto the main course, A chicken madras. The sauce was very nice. The problem was there was next to no chicken in it. 4 small pieces around half a breast. What a disappointment Rangoli. And the price you charge for a portion of rice is ridiculous. This isn 't cheap, but neither is it good. A bad experience which I don 't care to repeat."

"I recently visited this restaurant for the first time in a long time and it appears that there have been changes in management/staff. The service was terrible. The chef, an old and miserable man, didn't speak to us and looked at us with disdain. He took our order without saying a word and brought the food out without giving us plates. When I asked for plates, he pointed to small saucers on the table. When I asked for dinner plates, he walked off in a huff and came back with only one plate. Another customer came in and the old man rudely interrupted the young guy who seemed nice and chill. The food was mediocre with too much oil, salt, and undercooked meat. The place was dirty, with dirty cutlery and broken and dirty tables. This place should be closed down. I will not be returning. I rarely write negative reviews, but this place was unacceptable. I give it a 0/10."

"A relatively new venture on Kilmarnock Road. Bab e Khyber is a monument guarding the entrance to the Khyber Pass. You can, therefore, expect Peshawari Pakistani and Afghani food of a high standard. And this place delivers.Nice clean informal airy space to sit in with wooden tables and chairs. It's not high end but it's not meant to be.The menu is not extensive but it doesn't need to be.We opted for a takeaway. It was ready in sooner than the promised twenty minutes. Service was friendly.Cash only at the moment.Lamb kobideh kabab: two substantial minced lamb kebabs spiced with cumin and coriander, grilled to perfection, and served in a freshly baked naan with onions, cucumber, tomatoes and a yoghurt sauce. Excellent.Biryani chicken: a reasonable portion for the price. A superior takeaway biryani the grains of long grain rice were firm and separate rather than the soggy mush it sometimes turns into when overcooked. Not a lot of actual chicken but flavourful.Lots of other interesting things to try on another date including karahi, haleem and Lahori channa (chickpeas).Deserves five stars for quality and value."
