Mumbai

Mumbai is the Indian restaurant and takeaway on Pier Road, central Erith — a few doors from K's Spice on the same redeveloped strip that runs down towards the Riverside Gardens and Erith Pier itself. It sits among the most central food businesses in the town and trades to a wider catchment than the back-street curry houses, with a free delivery footprint advertised at around three miles which pulls in households across central Bexley as well as the immediate Erith streets.

The menu is full British-Bangladeshi — tandoori grills and starters, balti dishes, biryanis, korma-to-phall main courses, chef's specials, a respectable vegetable section, the standard sundries and breads — with set meals for two anchoring the family-order pricing. Phone ordering for collection and delivery is the working model; the shop has appeared on directory aggregators including Just Eat, Hungry British and Tasty Find for long enough to have a stable reputation.

Central Erith has been steadily redeveloped over the past two decades — Riverside Gardens, the bus interchange and the new health hub all sit within walking distance — and the Pier Road restaurants have shifted from serving a working-river town to serving the new mixed-housing population. Mumbai is one of the long-running operators that has carried through both phases, and its order book sits on a foundation of repeat customers rather than passing footfall.
