Mumtaz Mahal Restaurant

We had a wonderful experience at Mumtaz Mahal. The indoor space is beautiful, filled with plants that make it feel fresh and inviting. Special thanks to Chef and TC Rana for his warm hospitality — he was friendly, patient, and answered all our questions. For those who enjoy Indian and spicy food, this is a great choice. I loved my butter chicken — rich and flavorful — and my partner’s Gold Tasting Menu was a fantastic way to sample many dishes. Prices are reasonable for the quality, though not the cheapest. I’d definitely go again and bring any guests visiting Muscat.

Mumtaz Mahal in Muscat is undeniably a feast for the eyes with its stunning interiors and captivating ambience—perfect for impressing clients or hosting a fancy evening out. However, the experience falls short where it matters most. The food is, frankly, mediocre, with portions so small they leave you wanting. The naan? The tiniest I’ve ever seen, almost a culinary crime! Service is just okay, not matching the hype or the hefty price tag. As a local Muscatian, I find it hard to justify the cost for what’s offered. This is a one-time-visit kind of place, more suited for business entertainment than a go-to dining spot. Sorry, folks, but I can’t recommend it—there are better options out there for the price. Good luck.

The place is beautiful, and the food was delicious. However, two staff members came across as quite rude. We had requested one of the waiters to make a dish less spicy, but it was served very spicy anyway. Fortunately, another staff member who later served us was genuinely kind and attentive. Overall, the ambience made the experience pleasant, but the service could definitely be improved.

Very good atmosphere, their food are so yummy, especially the butter chicken, starter also very nice, 5 star recommendation

We had the tasting menu at Mumtaz Mahal in Muscat, and it was fantastic! Each of the five courses was packed with bold, vibrant flavours that showcased Indian cuisine at its best. Portions were super generous—so much so that we couldn’t finish the last course, which was the biggest of them all. Honestly, one tasting menu is perfect for two people to share. Great food, lovely ambiance, and overall an experience worth savouring!

India food is delicious, The mutton curry has no fishy smell and is chewy. all the waiters are polite. very enjoys the dinner

Very nice place, lots of stairs to find but worth it for the pictures of the city. Service is good and staff are friendly. The food could Be better in taste for the price paid.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mumtaz Maham Restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The food was exquisite, and the ambiance was truly extraordinary. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and stunning sea views made for a truly unforgettable dine in.
