Overall: 3.5/5 [dine in]
Mumbai House has stellar reviews, so our group decided to try it out. We had a reservation at 8:30 PM for a late dinner so we were mindful of their 9 PM closing time. We ordered as soon as we were seated, and the food came out fairly quickly. We still ended up being the last group to leave, but the staff didn't rushed us. They were also able to split the bill by individual or couple, though they forgot to bring us to go boxes afterward.
Blue Moon Mango ($10): I am not usually a beer drinker, but this one was not bad. The subtle mango flavor helped balance out the beer taste.
Lamb Briyani ($26.95): Basmati rice cooked with lamb, onions, garlic, ginger, cashew nuts, raisins, and spices, served with a side of raita. The bowl looked small at first, but the portion was actually very generous. We had leftovers, and I ended up eating this over three breakfast meals. There was a good amount of lamb, but the dish overall was very dry, including the basmati rice. The flavors were just okay, and I found myself relying on the raita to add moisture and flavor. My friend tried it and did not enjoy it either, even though she loved her own dish. It seemed like guests who ordered sauce based dishes enjoyed their meals more, while those who ordered briyani were less impressed.
Onion Naan ($7.95): This was delicious and highly recommended. The flatbread was fluffy and flavorful, and it was great on its own or dipped in raita or curry.
