Take out from here is good. Portions are a little small. Overall would go back. Had the chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, and tandoori chicken. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Indian buffets are usually a safe bet for decent food at a reasonable price, but this one was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The food was borderline inedible. The butter chicken tasted like it was made with spoiled cream and way too much cheap paprika. The chicken tikka masala was watery and flavorless, with rubbery chunks of chicken that had clearly been sitting out for hours. The naan was stale and chewy, the samosas were soggy and greasy, and the rice was dry and clumpy. Even the dal and vegetable dishes had no seasoning whatsoever - it was like they forgot to add any spices to an "Indian" restaurant. The tandoori items looked dried out and reheated multiple times. I've had better Indian food from a gas station microwave meal. No way I will go back. read more

Nasty nasty nasty guy pissing on the sidewalk and cooking your food. Do not go here or cottage this place.

Headed in on a Saturday afternoon unaware that it was a buffet. I admit I steer clear of buffets. However; I'm glad I stayed. Very fresh, CLEAN, buffet with a great variety. Everything was delicious. They even had a beef vindaloo that will have you getting seconds. The chicken tikka masala was so good. Super fresh but limited salad options and sauces. The rice pudding was the perfect balance of pistachios and cinnamon without being over bearing. Staff kept our glasses full and silently swept the plates away as soon as emptied, leaving you ready for another round. I highly recommend. read more

I'd give Mumtaz a 3.5 -- The food is clearly freshly made, but just too salty. I ordered from here for takeout and everything was still HOT when it got to me despite the 20 min journey. They are reasonably priced and 1 entree is big enough for 2 meals. I ordered the Punjabi Paratha, Chicken Shahi Korma, and Dal Basanti. They included a giant container of rice as well, which was definitely needed to balance out the saltiness of the Korma. The Dal was less salty, but still too salty. However, the Paratha was perfectly done for my taste (but I'm no expert on paratha). So I'd say they're great with their carbs, but watch out for the curries/stews. read more

Decent quality take out. I ordered the Butter Chicken, Garlic naan, Mango Lassi, Malai Kofta, chicken Shahi korma, chicken tandoori, and veggie curry. Dinner was fine but I have had better Indian food. The only thing I would not order again was the Shahi Korma because it is made with dark chicken meat and I avoid eating that type of chicken meat. We received about 5 cups of rice, which was plenty for dinner and leftovers for three adults. Thanks! read more

I am never disappointed when I come here. It is one of the only buffets I feel comfortable eating at. Support this restaurant it is wonderful!!!! read more

Horrible! I ordered and went to pickup my order I got home and realized that my order was missing two items. I called and they said they would fix it. I go up to the store and the man said no I won't give it to you. STEALERS! This company just wants your money and doesn't even give you what you pay for they steal. I'm incredibly mad! The man is absolutely rude! Rude stealing man who does not deserve to be in business! read more

Great food. My favorite takeout for chicken biriyani. If you ask to make the tandoori or biriyani spicier- They will! read more

Everything was absolutely delicious and I was overjoyed that it was buffet yet only $15. I ate until I was extremely full and all of the flavors were incredible. I think only "complaint" is that much of the foods and sauces weren't labeled so im not sure the names of most of the dishes. That said, I'll eat everything a million times over and recommend it to anyone that wants to try a variety of foods. read more

I ordered this from UberEats for lunch since it had free delivery (with nearby order). I love Indian food and how rich the flavors of the spices usually are. This place was a bit disappointing in that area. The chicken korma was pretty bland compared to what I've had in the past, and it mostly just tasted like pepper. However, the chicken was extremely tender compared to what I tend to get from Indian restaurants, which was a big plus. The garlic naan was not what I was expecting--it's very pretty but also lacks the flavor and texture I was looking for. I am used to buttery, garlicy, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. All I got was the soft part (which might be what other people like, just not my preference). One thing that was very good was the packaging--the dishes were stored in styrofoam containers and wrapped with an extra layer of Saran Wrap to keep it secure. Everything was then placed in a large paper bag that was stapled shut. I also appreciated that they filled up the cups all the way to the top. This, coupled with the tender chicken, is what bumped this rating up from 3 to 4 stars. Maybe I will give this place another try with a different dish and see if it was just the chicken korma that wasn't to my liking, but for now, I stand by my rating. read more

Mumtaz Indian Restaurant - Chicken Shahi Korma, Garlic Naan Bread - Indian Near Me - Plano, Texas

This used to be our goto Indian restaurant. They had an evening buffet and the take out food was really good. I think we went so often that one of the guys knew us and we got a free dessert thrown in. I think the place must have changed owners. The last couple of times we've ordered take out, it just hadn't been good. The last order a couple of nights ago had a strange taste to it, and I think I figured out that it was over salted. It was fairly bland for picking medium-hot and no dessert included. There's no evening buffet any more plus they've put the prices up. Unfortunately I don't feel the quality of the food is reflected in the price hike. We've given Mumtaz a couple of tries now and have decided that it is no longer for us so we're on the hunt for a new place to give our business to. read more

My Goat Palak (goat cooked with creamed spinach & curry sauce) was delicious. My wife's Lamb Korma (cooked in a creamy almond sauce) and the balsamic rice Impressed her as exceptional. The naan was excellent. Our server was helpful, friendly and appropriately attentive. Food was brought to our table in a timely manner. Serving sizes were fine. The ambience was pleasant and relaxed, well-suited to a personal conversation. This continues to be one of our "go to" restaurants, for well-prepared Indian food. Prices are reasonable. read more

My husband has been been craving Indian food. Craving in a must-get-some-soon-or-life-might-end kind of way. I didn't want to drive to Richardson (egads...a whole 15 minutes south from Plano!) to our old standby, Kebab and Kurry, so we tried out a new-to-us place that I'd heard good things about, Mumtaz Indian Restaurant. They have a good-sized buffet table with a good selection of dishes, from sweet to spicy, vegetarian to traditional meats (goat and/or lamb Everything was super fresh and flavorful. We've gone three times now and have been impressed with the variety each time we've been. What's even better is that they offer a buffet at lunch and dinner, weekday and weekend. Tuesdays offer a lower price-point, making it a great day to get your spice on. Looks like we don't have to make that drive to Richardson anytime soon...! read more

Great place for people who love the taste of Indian food but can't handle super spicy food either. They definitely tone down the spice a bit. Love the buffet option during lunch, never super busy and never had a wait. They have all the go tos like chicken tikka masala and "safe" foods for people trying Indian for the first time. Must try the gulab jamun for dessert. read more

Food is amazing, never have I have tried Indian food definitely recommend the chicken tikka. Service is also great.

I for one am a fan of Indian buffet's and its hard to find a dinner one. Luckily, we found this place that is close to home and offers a dinner buffet. The day we went they had a decent array of 2-3 appetizers, veggies, daal's, meats (chicken and goat), rice and sweets. They also do have a salad bar with limited options. What I liked is that their meats weren't dried out (especially the tandoori chicken). Some of the dishes, especially the okra veggie, were swimming in oil. I would have liked to see a few more options in general with the food. They had basically 2 veggie dishes, palak paneer and okra. They had a few chicken options, 1 daal and 1 mutton option. A decent place for a decent Indian buffet. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for the past three years and have never been disappointed. I do the lunch buffet and usually order a mango lassi. I get rice (both kinds are great), chicken masala, naan, veg pakora, and rice dessert and I am always very satisfied with the freshness and taste of each item. The service is also great. I would recommend trying out this restaurant. read more

Mumtaz Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Plano, Texas

Fave Indian buffet in the metroplex. We've come on Sundays after church with big groups before and never have a problem finding seating. Also love the Tuesday lunch buffet special (only $6.99), incredible pricing. The chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka are to die for, as well as the tempura veggies and goat/lamb curry. Sometimes they even have chicken vindaloo! They have a pretty regular rotation of different desserts depending on which day you go. The kheer and gulab jamun are excellent. Naan is very good and kept hot. The servers are always attentive and come by to fill up your water. I also usually get a mango lassi with my meal, as the serving sizes here are good and it's very thick and flavorful. Love Mumtaz! read more

Hard to resist such a good deal! In the area, and yelped a Indian buffet, and the reviews indicated a good buffet at a great price. First impression was a nice roomy place to eat. They have traditional styling, no fancy decorations, neon lights or urban tiles. It was clean, and not crowded, maybe only 1/4 of the restaurant was being used at any given time while we were there. It was the first day of the football season, so maybe that is why. They had one TV, that was broadcasting an NFL game. The service was good. We were welcomed upon entrance. Water glasses were kept filled, and they checked on us frequently, almost too much. The food at the buffet was good. It was not as spicy as other Indian buffets we've been to in Texas. However it wasn't sweet either. If traditional in a mild taste is your thing, this is your spot! They had a good amount of options at the buffet table. My favorite was the desert. The kheer was delicious! It was kept colder than most others I've had, and it gave it an ice cream like appeal to an end of summer kind of day. The chicken tikka masala was good, but not as sweet as I prefer. The chicken was tender, and flavorful. The naan was soft and moist, great for dipping in masala sauce! The bill was best part. Considerably less than other comparable buffet's we've been to here in Texas. If you're in Plano and have a Indian lunch craving, this deal is hard to beat. read more

I visited this restaurant during lunch time. The buffet was great and the staff was very nice. The price is what you would expect of an indian buffet. I thoroughly enjoyed the muttar paneer and the various deserts. For what it is, the restaurant is great. I would not consider it fine dining or the perfect place for date night; however, if you want a large indian meal to warm you up on a cold day, this is the perfect place. The decor is simple and most of the tables are meant to seat around 4 people. However, if you bring in a larger group I am sure they would not mind combining the tables to accommodate. read more

Mumtaz Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Plano, Texas

I went here for lunch with my son since he was in the mood for Indian food. We were the first customers since they had just opened for lunch and we were immediately seated. They offer a buffet for lunch 7 days a week. The buffet size is pretty decent and had lots of popular dishes, which were hot and fresh looking. I had the chicken tikka masala, goat curry, seekh kabab, madras soup, mumtaz special pillau, saag paneer and the naan; all were fresh and packed lots of flavor. My son and I both liked the Madras soup and we both ate more than one bowl, it was one of the best Madras soups that I have tasted at an Indian restaurant in Dallas. The server we had was very attentive and constantly refilled our glasses and checked in to see if we needed anything. I will definitely be back! read more

2 stars for the service . Food was decent . Definitely attention to customer is a must with friendly demeanor. Your job as owners to provide more friendlier atmosphere where your guests feels welcome to come and dine. Maybe better wait staff who understand the menu and knows how to serve customers. Don't have kitchen staff run around in aprons to serve customers or give water. Place has great potential to do better if the quality of service gets better . read more

Probably closer to a 4.5 but I will happily round up. I was a very regular customer when I still lived in Plano. Ft Worth would be very lucky to have a Mumtaz location. The two buffets we have are meh (Maharaja) and bad (Bombay Grill). First off, when judging this place, remember that a buffet is a buffet and you will do better getting an entree cooked to order. That said, as far as Indian buffets go, you won't find better (the late Chettinad Palace was it's only true rival). Protip, don't skip the soup. Their Madras soup is great. Kids in particular love it. (it is a tomato coconut soup) My kid loved it so much that as a toddler he would just tell us pink soup to say he wanted it. The meat dishes are solid... as others have said the Tandoori Chicken is not dried out at all, and the meats never feel rubbery as I often find. On the veggie end the Chana Masala actually has a bit of heat, the Saag Paneer is excellent and the Dal Makhani is probably my favorite buffet item ever. Food is frequently refreshed and changed out (usually 2-3 times a visit). Finally, the service is great. It was fine at first, but once we became regulars (even at only 3-4 times a month) the staff recognized us and treated us like family. We started bringing our kid in when he was probably 2 and he immediately fell in love with the Madras soup. The staff were so taken by how into it he was that they brought us a very large take out cup to go for him when we were done at no extra cost. (They wouldn't even let us pay for him for a couple of years). We became so enamored with one waitress that when we learned she was going on maternity leave we brought her a shower gift... If you are looking for an Indian buffet in Plano, this is your place. No disrespect to Irivat (which does a pretty solid Thali ), or Maharaja or the others, this is the choice... Of course the menu choices are better but for a buffet this is 5 star. read more

This was about the saddest Indian buffet I've been to. When I stepped in, I was immediately worried because the place looked like something from rural Texas in the '80s. The food lacked flavor, plain and simple, and the buffet items weren't particularly hot. I wound up driving farther than usual from my office in the Legacy area, because the place I was trying to go to wasn't doing a buffet, but I should have just turned right around when I got that first warning vibe looking at the decor and (non-Indian) clientele. There are dozens of better Indian buffets just a few miles away. I feel a little bad leaving this review because the woman serving everyone was nice, and I'd love to see a little business like this do well, but they seriously need to up their game. read more

This is a pretty decent Indian buffet, tucked into the aging and fairly non-descript shopping center at the northeast corner of Parker and 75 in Plano. Stepping inside, it's nicely decorated and features real GLASS glasses and linen napkins, a nice touch. I was here for the lunch buffet, after having been to some of the competitors farther north and wanting to try something new (to me). The buffet doesn't have a huge number of choices (you can do a la carte instead, if you want); here's what I sampled: Pakora: Fairly good instance of the classic fried vegetable dish, with a crispy but not hard batter and tender vegetables inside. A nice starter Chana masala: The chickpeas were very small and kind of "dense", but not in a bad way. They gave the dish some texture. Sauce was pleasant but not overly remarkable Chicken tikka masala: Classic non-Indian Indian dish, while the chicken pieces were plentiful and seemed to be of good quality, the sauce wanted a bit for flavor. Vindaloo: Served with meatballs (?) rather than a more expected whole cuts of something, the sauce was very low on the heat scale. The flavor was OK, but it definitely needed some heat. Malai kofta: This was a new one to me, a "veggie meatball" dish. It was one of the standouts of the meal, with the "meatballs" having a really good flavor and texture, including the most heat of any dish that I sampled. Goat curry "with bones": I had to snicker at the "with bones". The goat meat was fairly good and had a reasonably good meat-to-bone ratio. The sauce was pretty good, probably second to the malai kofta in flavor. Tandoori chicken: Chicken leg cooked in the classic style; it wasn't too dry, but again, was wanting for flavor. Naan bread: A quite good "sopper-upper" and general starch aspect to the meal, it was not chewy nor dry. Gulab jamun: Ah, the little sweet balls of love dessert. I have to admit, I've never had a bad example of this, and this was no exception. If there was a knock at all, they were a little small, but still delicious. Service was good; they kept my water glass full and the table cleared. Checkout is full service restaurant style (they bring the check to the table afterward), and the price is definitely right: lunch buffet with water is only $8.60. Overall, this place is pretty good, but not the best Indian buffet I've had. Still, if you're in the area, it'll help you get your fix. read more

My mom and I were visiting family friends in the area and I wanted Indian food. I ordered through yelp for pickup (no delivery a available). Pick up was easy, they had the bags ready as soon as we arrived. They did not ask if we wanted plates or plastic forks :-/ To eat we had the baigan bartha a roasted eggplant dish - it was ok not a ton of flavor. The aloo mutter (potatoes and peas) had a nice amount of spice. Vaishnav Delight which came with a bunch of different veggie dishes: One dried up samosa, palak paneer (spinach), channa masala (chickpeas), malai kofta (veggie "meat"balls) creamy, sweet and savory curry sauce, and raita (yogurt) which tasted a bit off to me. The rice pudding that came with the set was perfectly cooked and delicious. The other dishes were just fine, not particularly flavorful. I was extremely disappointed in the rubbery and burnt naan they provided, especially since I ordered 2 sets because that is something people usually love! Overall, mediocre Indian food, too bad it was the only option close to my friend's home, read more
