Mumbaiwala

We really enjoyed our dinner, all the food that we ordered impressed us with its taste, texture and presentation. Mumbaiwala offers refreshingly different dishes to most Indian restaurants in Christchurch and the serving size is generous. We had 2 starters ( sev puri and lamb kofta) 2 mains (sali boti which is a lamb curry and chicken biryani) with some naans. The service was fast, efficient and friendly. Look forward to returning and trying out other interesting dishes.

Great food great service

First time dining here and we will definitely be back! We were well looked after the second we walked through the doors. Our waiter was amazing and so attentive - I’m sorry we didn’t get his name. The food was incredible, the best Indian food in Christchurch easily.

Great food, terrific service, fab surroundings.
We love it here

Fabulous food and great atmosphere.

Without a doubt the best Indian food I have ever eaten. The service is so incredibly on point and friendly - I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough! ****** (6 stars out of 5).

One word A-MAZ-ING
The food at this restaurant is spectacular. There was so much to choose from we decided to go for 5 of the smaller dishes. Everyone of them were epic. The surroundings were done to a very high standard which added the the entire experience. From start to finish nothing could be faulted.

Interesting and tasty selection of dishes. Would go back there again.

It was a very good experience, would like to recommend First table & Mumbaiwala to others.
Only thing can be improved is quantity of the items is very small.

As always the food and service were excellent! Will definitely return!

It was quite a unique experience trying Indian street food. We were welcomed from the door and directed to our table. The restaurant had a modern vibe and food was nicely presented. Would recommend it to anyone who is keen to try different taste of Inidia (other than your normal butter chicken :-))

Early dinner with a friend. Food was nicely flavoured but not excessively so. unfortunately service was intermittent, we were on a time limit and eventually had to go and ask for dessert menus. Otherwise ok

Wonderful great service and food

Excellent service with bite-sized appetisers and well-sized mains. Buzzing atmosphere in the early dinner rush adds to the dining ambiance.

Delicious! I have been to many Indian restaurants over the years, both in NZ and the UK, but have never before seen Squid Bajees or a Lamb shank ‘curry’ on the menu - I tried them both and repeat myself in saying they were delicious! Highly recommended & I will be visiting again

We loved our dining experience at Mumbaiwala. We have been before and as usual, the food was excellent and the ambience great.
Plenty of options for different dietary requirements which is fantastic.

Delicious food, the the Cauliflower starter and Chicken Biryani were really good! Loved the ambiance and great service.

Fabulous food, great environment and wonderful service!

Fabulous food and wonderful, friendly service. Will definitely be back to try more yummy dishes on the menu!!

Love this place! Delicious food and lovely staff. Also lots of great vegetarian and vegan options for those who want them.
Highly recommend :)

Had an absolutely beautiful meal at Mumbaiwala last night. The food was spectacular and so authentic. The service was warm and attentive. Food arrived quickly and waiters/waitresses were always on hand to serve, with a smile. Will definitely be back.

Good range of options including gluten free. Would go back.

Fantastic food. Fabulous service. Great value.

Great central city Indian restaurant with many dishes different from normal offerings at regular Indian eating places.

Great food, waiter was excellent. Family with two teenagers one with a milder palate but she was keen on trying everything and enjoyed. No room for dessert but shared a chocolate naan - so good.

Tried a few of the starters namely the Coconut Prawns, Squid Bhajee and Mumbai chicken. These were ok but wouldn't necessarily have again. However the Murgh Makhani was gorgeous. I asked for it medium/hot which was perfect. 10 year old also had this but had it mild - he said it was ok (he's never had curry before). Other son had Kersari Kebab which was very nice. Husband had Lamb Dhansak which he enjoyed. Ordered 2 garlic naans (more like roti's but very nice) and an onion and coriander kulcha between us but ended up asking for another garlic naan. Both of these were very nice - small but nice. As we were on First Table we tried a few things we haven't tried before. We also took the kids (which we won't do again). Recommend it. Portion for adults was just right. Curry came with small bowl of rice.

Great service and delicious food! The mango and coconut lassi was refreshing and they had a great wine/beer selection too.

Couldn’t fault Mumbaiwala, food was divine, quite different from other Indian restaurants. For two people we shared 2 starters, highly recommend the cauliflower, 1 main and naan which was plenty. Service is very friendly, will be going back for sure.

Lovely selection of food and great ambiance.

A bit different to the typical Indian food in Christchurch. We tried two dishes from the street menu, the dahi were yum but quite a mouthful to eat and the squid bahji weren't quite what we expected but still enjoyable. Had the lamb curry which was nice but could have had a little more flavour. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive, would return to try some more of the street dishes.

So delicious. Love having food that’s a little different and all stuff I could never make at home. Highly recommend

Super tasty food! We tried 5 different vegetarian dishes, a mix of starters and mains, and some naan. The three of us really enjoyed the variety and the total portion was just right.

We've been to Mumbaiwala a number of times now, the food is always excellent and the service and atmosphere are top-notch. Thoroughly recommend it!!!

The ambiance was wonderful and the food tasty. We should have had a starter as well as we had a piece of toast when we got home!

Incredible food, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff!! We love Mumbaiwala!

Great food. Came out really fast. Child friendly place.

Enjoyable family meal.

Great Curry’s. Nice atmosphere. Good menu.

We love Mumbaiwala! What more can I say? The menu is spot on, portion sizes just right and we love ordering a selection to share. Wonderful selection of tastes. The decor and theming is bang on point too which all adds to the experience. And the staff are polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for any occasion. We mentioned it was my partners birthday and the kitchen sent out a delicious dessert which was totally unexpected and a lovely end to our already fab dinner. Thanks team!

Amazing flavours and top quality service! Good place for sharing lots of small plates, portions are perfect size and food is delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing service and the food was incredible! Will definitely be returning

We loved the friendly fun vibe of the place. The food was excellent especially the street food entrees. They were our highlight of the night. The waitress gave good directions on food selection for our dietary requirments. Will be definitely comi g back.

Fabulous food and service

Amazing food and decor! Something different.

Mumbaiwala never disappoints. The service is always friendly, efficient and courteous and the food - simply delicious!

Our diner at Mumbaiwala was really nice. The food is tasty, a bit spicy for europeens like us but really good ! We liked the idian ambiance and decoration, it makes you feel travelling !

Great! Always enjoy my visits to Mumbaiwala- yummy food and great service! Will be back again

What a great experience! Mumbaiwala is in a great location, perfectly decorated for an authentic and stylish dining experience. They catered for both our children and us alike, high chairs are readily available and they advised us what the children would like from the menu. We will definitely be back!

We loved our meals, especially as we had expected "standard" Indian fare, but this was definitely in the more gourmet category. A cauliflower entree was the highlight, absolutely beautiful. Staff were lovely too. Would definitely recommend.

Favourite Indian restaurant, delicious food, wonderful staff and lovely ambiance
