We started with some onion nan, then ordered a basket of assorted nan because it was so good. We also got a side of mixed pickles...they were spicy and soft. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir from Oregon which was very nice. Two of the diners ordered the lamb and eggplant (chef's special), one ordered a vegetarian dish with... More

We ate here on Valentine's Day because I am a huge Indian food fan. Bombay has the best atmosphere of any of the Indian restaurants in town, with small tables, candlelight and a nice open bar. The veggie samosas were delicious, we had a bottle of sauvignon blanc from India (sweet, crisp, really nice) and the tandori mixed grill for... More

This was my first visit to Bombay Bar and Grill. I was pleasantly surprised with the food, service and atmosphere. The food was amazing! I had the Lamb, Eggplant, Peanut Curry and my husband had the Lamb and Basmati Rice. We both agreed we will be returning soon to try out one of the many other options. The service was... More

My wife and some friends dined at this restaurant last night. It was the first visit for my wife and myself, however our friends have been to this restaurant many times and recommended it. We had attentive prompt service throughout our meal, although we were in no rush since it was just a relaxed Friday dinner. Our friends did the... More

I was sort of surprised to read such mediocre reviews of this place. I just finished my meal and went anxiously to my iPhone to write a review because I thought it was great. The food is fabulous. I had paneer sokora as an appetizer (fried cheese), chicken tikka masala which was perfectly seasoned and had the right balance of... More

The food is excellent, but not actually worth the high prices. I ordered a gin martini, got a vodka one. Had the biryani. It was excellent, but I won't return due to the overpriced menu. Everything on the menu can be easily made at home for a fraction of the price that they charge. I gave an 'average' rating because... More

After the very sweet but not-so-competent service, we were skeptical. Servers were kind but not quick and we waited forever for our initial drinks. We ordered quickly to expedite things and it did take a long while for dinner. But wow.... food like this take a while to prepare correctly and it was worth the wait! Flavors were delicate and...

I have ate here before and i enjoyed the food and atmosphere about a year ago, since then I have learned that they have new ownership and they probably should have taken a few pointers from the previous owner. The quality has "taken a turn for the douche" yet the prices have remained the same. They service is poor because... More

I live a block from Bombay Bar & Grill, and eat here quite often. I think it is fabulous! I am a vegetarian and they have so many choices! The only reason that I am not giving it 5 stars...it is a little pricey.
