Great food, great service, great decor but great shame that you have to pay to park anywhere near.
Also for a restaurant near a busy city centre to be able to compete it shouldn't handicap itself by denying its customers the opportunity to drink alcohol with their meal. No Drinks Licence & your not allowed to take your own drinks in.
Sorry but there are too many good Indian Restaurants near by that don't have the drinks ban.

The following is the actual letter I wrote to Mumtaz following a terrible night there. If you take nothing away more than remembering to ask for your parking ticket to be stamped, then there was a point to this review. The outcome of the complaint after much communication was a rather insulting "£20 voucher off" our next meal there, received over a month later. We duly returned the voucher...
Haven spoken to the Manager, Rap, and the floor manager, I am, as suggested, writing to let you know about the series of events that upset our Valentines diner at your establishment last night.
From start to finish, nothing seemed to go right, and by that I mean from booking on the phone to leaving the car park. I have no idea where you are trying to position the restaurant, but I was looking for a high class experience, and it was simply dreadful, worse than the service I would have expected in a greasy spoon cafe!
Clearly it was valentine’s day and I had already booked to see the Opera at The Grand in Leeds. After seeing a news story about how Clarence Place was suffering, I decided to look up the restaurants as I am from London and do not know Leeds. The promise of a new restaurant that had spent millions on the decor seemed a great choice, however, this list of issues below perhaps shows why the area is in dire straits:
On booking, I was told there was ONLY the choice of the set menu that night, yet I saw other people ordering alternative food
On arrival, the staff that were milling around the entrance seemed uninterested that we had pre-booked, and for ease to us pre-paid
After a short spell huddled on over-crowded sofas, We were shown to a table and left there for 15 minutes, then, a different waitress took pity on us and asked if we were being looked after, to which we replied no, and she went and at least got us at the valentines menu to look at.
We were giving some fizzy grape juice, with no mention of any other drinks available, yet I saw other people with non alcoholic cocktails, we were not provided with any sort of drinks menu
The food came, which was fine, not great, but fine.
The dessert came, which was not, two specific complaints, the milk pudding was served with a tiny tea spoon, we had to ask twice for an “adult size†spoon, the ice cream was more like a milk shake it was so melted and the drips down the side and base made it look dirty. Is it too much to have them wiped before they are served? We did not eat the puddings.
The table was cleared and we were left sitting there.
We waited and tried to decide what to do, I had after all paid before we arrived. We sat with our coats on but no sign of our waiter. A different waitress came up and asked us what are we waiting for? I replied I don’t know, our table is clear can I have a bill or receipt or something? She said we should take the bill folder to the front desk, our waiter never mentioned this.
Despite me telling several people we had paid, I was asked again for £49.95
I complained at the time, and the floor Manageress who asked us to take a seat.
While we waited, an unannounced coffee we didn’t want arrived (which we didn’t drink), followed by the floor manager with a box of Indian sweets (which are not to our taste) by way of apology. I thought this was a joke, but as the evening was ruined enough could not muster the energy to make any more of a fuss, that is until I got to the car park...
To top it all, we went to the car park to pay for parking (£4.50). I fellow guest who had seen us in the restaurant came up to me and said, oh, in future Mumtaz will validate your parking ticket for free! No mention at any time of this when in the restaurant, how would we know to ask? So not only did we have a truly terrible time, we paid 10% more than everyone else for the privilege!
Finally, this meal was advertised as a Valentines Dinner. I am not sure what this was supposed to mean. There was absolutely no effort to make the place feel in any way valentines, one tiny red candle does not make a valentines dinner, no flowers, no mood lighting, just a regular over priced and under-performing night at Mumtaz.
Really really bad.

Very opulent surroundings and the food was OK, if a little overpriced. However the service was extremely poor and we will not be visiting again.
