Mumbai Brasserie - Test Valley

In all honesty, this was the worst curry I have ever tasted. It was truly terrible. The lack of flavor was evident in every bite, the potatoes were unpleasant, the naan was terrible, and the sauce was bland.

This was the worst takeaway curry I've ever had. It was extremely salty, greasy, and bland. The potatoes in the sagaloo were old and mushy. I couldn't even finish a few bites before throwing it in the trash where it belonged. Such a waste of money!

This was our second time dining at Mumbai Brasserie, and once again, we were very disappointed. The first time we ordered takeout, it took 2 hours and 45 minutes to arrive, despite living only 5 minutes away. To our dismay, we had to reheat everything in the oven before we could eat it because it was all cold. We attributed this to a busy night and decided to give them another chance by dining in. This time, we arrived 5 minutes early for our reservation, but were told our table would be ready in 10 minutes. However, after waiting for 30 minutes without any offer of a seat or drink, we realized that two other tables who had pre-booked were also waiting for over 35 minutes. Just when we were about to cancel our booking, a waiter from upstairs came down asking about the delayed food for his tables, who had been waiting for 40 minutes. This was the final straw for us, and we decided to give up on Mumbai Brasserie. We will not be returning due to the poor service and lack of organization.

Our visit started off well, our drinks orders were taken within a few minutes of arriving, which was nice. Unfortunately that 's where the good service stopped, after finishing our drinks and poppadoms, we waited over an hour and a half, and our table still hadn 't been cleared of the poppadom trays and dips, nor had we even been given a menu. During this time we had been ignore several times by the waitress. After waiting so long we decided to leave, so we paid for the drinks and poppadoms only to not be given the eat out to help out discount either.TLDR: terrible service, ignored several times, charged double the price we expected.

I was surprised when this place said they could fit us in, as everywhere else was fully booked. As soon as we walked in the door, we realised why. Every single table in use, so very tightly packed. Staff wearing masks but almost all of them below the nose. If you are worried about social distancing, probably best to avoid as the situation would make you anxious. Other than that, service was very slow, the whole experience, two courses (no time for desert) took about four hours. The food was good when it arrived, but the time we had to sit there kinda took the edge off, and we just ate as quick as we could and left, as it was getting on for 10pm. Would return for the food if the service was better and there were no social distancing issues. Maybe will give it another go in a few months when the covid heat is off.
