This glamorous French-Asian fusion establishment on the London Road in St Albans is a cosmopolitan restaurant with a nod to Josephine Baker inspired glamour and 1920s Shanghai style. Brought to you by the team behind the critically acclaimed Mumtaj Tandoori, Chez Mumtaj Restaurant and Saffron Champagne Lounge is a hit with locals and the dining room - with cream leather banquettes, golden Buddha statuettes and plush Persian carpets – is always filled with a chi-chi crowd. Head Chef Chad Rahman has created a bold menu influenced by Indo-French and Pan-Asian cuisine, and we love the buttered black tiger prawns cooked Malaysian-style; and the seared foie gras with Schezwan pepper, cauliflower puree and hazelnut oil.

We hadn't been to Chez Mumtaj for a couple of years and were really please to see that the quality of food has not dropped. My wife had a lovely succulent duck dish and my lamb shank was superb. Have knocked a few stars off because the service was a little haphazard. We were initially placed on the wrong table and so had to move, and we had to ask more than once for fresh table water. Service was all very polite though.

We deliberately went early on a Sunday night, and were the first there. Ambiance built nicely as more diners arrived. Staff were very attentive, engaged and helpful throughout. We had the tasting menu - three starters in one, wide selection of main dishes (served at the same time, rather than having many small courses) and desert - all delicious and beautifully presented. Excellent experience for a birthday treat - especially as it was our first post-lockdown.

My partner and I went to Chez Mumtaj, which is our favourite restaurant - we spent our first day there in September 2019. We were given our favourite table. The food was outstanding as usual. The service was first class. The rice arrived a little late so we were given two glasses of champagne to apologise. I wish them well during these trying times, and pray they will still be running when the COVID is in the past.

his place serves the best Indian I have had and I don't say that lightly. I really enjoyed my evening here. The dish portions were spot on, and the food was unbelievably tasty. As for the restaurant itself, the staff are lovely, all chatty and very friendly and the atmosphere was buzzy but no loud. If you go, I recommend the Duck Samosas and the Chicken Biryani. My husband had the Lamb Rogan Josh and love it.

This was our last dining out the experience before lockdown part 2 So we took the advice of our children that highly recommended Chez Mumtaj as the Best of its kind. So Pleased to report we could not have enjoyed it more ;-)
