Advantages: Food, service

Disadvantages: Can seem quiet

The Mujib indian restaurant in Harrogate is one of my all time favouite curry houses. I'm perhaps doing it an injustice by referring to it as a 'curry house' as it is far grander than the back street/no cutlery/gee ridden curry houses that I have freqented in the past (not that I mind them!).
Situated in what used to be a grand victorian hotel, the Mujib is just on the edge of the Stray (the 4 miles of greenery that surround Harrogate town centre) and is within walking distance for those who don't mind a stroll otherwise I would say approx a £3 taxi journey from the town centre.
There is a certain class to the place which inevitably means it's slightly pricier than most curry houses but nevertheless still considerably cheaper than some of the bistros you would go to in Harrogate and the food is far better! Even the serving dishes are modern and functional.
The menu is extensive but well priced, the portions are spot on and the waitiing staff are superb. I have been there many times and they know exactly when to converse with you (when you're out with friends) and when to just serve with a smile (when out with business clients).
The strange thing about the place is that there are so many different off shoots leading to other seating areas that it can make the place seem like it's not busy.
The curries are superb however I would avoid the 'Atkins Diet' page on the menu, I tried one of the dishes and it was just a mountain of cheese covered mince!
