We have eaten at Mumbai House in SLC and absolutely loved it. They open in Park City a few months ago and did not get around to eating there until this past Wednesday. As a general comment is was just as good as the mothership and we will be frequenting this wonderful restaurant.
We went with another couple and ordered appetizers, four main dishes and some regular Naan. Way to much food but we all got doggie bags to take home for lunch the next day so it was just fine.
Let's start with the service - it was terrific - quick and efficient and all the staff were friendly without being in your face.
Quick comment on the room. Nothing special - just tables and chairs with ski pictures on the walls from a local artist. From memory they grabbed the space and pushed to open very quickly so I am guessing that they did not do any real tenant improvements. They are already planning to expand the space however.
I wanted to check out the wine list and was glad I did. Prices were reasonable and what was fun to see was that the bulk of the wines were from the old world with a real emphasis on France. I love European wines but focus mostly on Italian reds so I enjoyed the chance to do some quick searches on my phone to select the right wine for the night.
Now, the food: we ordered two platters of the assorted snack tray's consisting of a vegetable samosa, onion bhaji, vegetable pakora, and chicken pakora. A pakora is a fritter, usually vegetarian, stuffed and fried, while an onion bhaji consists of thinly sliced onions coated in a batter and deep fried. The samosas are also fried and consist of a thinly rolled dough, stuffed (in this case) with vegetables. All of the apps had great flavor and were served with a chutney and what I believe was a tamarind sauce, the Indian equivalent of an asian sweet and sour.
Only negative was that you can have to much a good thing, in this case it was everything being fried and a lot of it. Our fault, not the restaurant's. Will branch out next time and try some other apps.
The naan was just fine. Cooked well and served as a wonderful vessel for grabbing the main dishes and also soaking up the sauces.
Most everyone was in the mood for chicken so we went with a classic tandoori (chicken bbq'd over a tandoor [clay oven]. This is the Indian equivalent of mexican fajitas and tasted great. Other dishes included pineapple curry chicken and a variation on butter chicken called makhani. The fourth dish was a vegetarian selection and shame on me, I can't recall what it was.
Solid food, reasonable prices and good service, all a couple of blocks from home. What more could you ask for! Will be back on a regular basis,
