Through this ambitious program, Mumtaz Mahal Restaurant plans to develop and prepare itself for regional expansion and open new branches to compete with multinational companies specialized in the authentic Indian fine dining cuisine.

"Started in 1984, Mumtaz Mahal is an Indian specialty and fine dining restaurant which caters to all palate types - Indian, Western and local. Mumtaz Mahal is the landmark of Muscat and the best North Indian specialty restaurant around.

Truly Indian, the guests are entertained with live Indian band in the evenings. Mumtaz Mahal menu offers popular vegetarian and non vegetarian Mughlai dishes with consistent innovation in preparation of its dishes. The meals consist of starters, main courses and sweet dishes. The main restaurant is situated on a hilltop and offers a magnificent view of the cityscape and the sea. The interior of the restaurant has arches and motifs, typical of the Mughal era with a generous use of wood (Burma Teak) in the pillars, ceiling and arches. The floor is thickly carpeted and the central area of the restaurant has designated space for live music performances - vocal and instrumental".

Francorp works extremely effectively with new companies getting into the franchise market. I have seen so many different brands go through the Francorp system and move into the franchise system with great success.
