Went to Mumtaz as a special treat for Father's day, originally had intended to go to Akbars, but after going round the Royal Armouries headed across the bridge to Mumtaz.
Amazing twenties surroundings, attentive staff, a wide range of fruit based cocktails all seemed perfect.
We started with a mixed starter chicken wings, fish, seekh kebab so on. All too spicy for the kids and to be honest blew my tastebuds away, but better than your average takeaway just.
Then the mains, I went for King Prawn Dopiaza, including green chillies and medium strength.
Strange you can specify the strength of your curry, surely the chef should have some integrity about what they are cooking and not let the customer over heat it up or down.
My partner had Prawn Makhani mild and my son had Murgh Makhani.
The dopiaza came no green chillies, but unmentioned green and red peppers, the Prawn Makhani was swimming in oil and tasted of uncooked tomato puree and oil as did the Murgh Makhani.
None of the mains tasted like a curry, now we were wishing we had gone to Aagrah, Akbars well anywhere.
The waiter came and asked us iif the meal was okay we told him how we felt, apparently the Dopiaza is like that in Bradford, well then tell me on the menu, so I don't order it.
They offered us free sweets a nice touch, though we didn't want aymore of their food. The meal cost £70, for something I would never have served at home.
