I like this place and the service is pretty good. It's a bit overpriced for Indian "street food" especially having travelled in India and seeing how much street food actually costs. But they do a decent job with elevating the dishes and creating a pleasant environment with the decor and little artifacts from Bombay.
In terms of the actual food, I can't complain. There's some highs but also some lows.
Here are my top 3 must try's:
- Kheema Mac and cheese (INCREDIBLE.)
- Saali chicken bowl (comes with NO rice. You have to order separately)
- tandoori chicken wings (small portion but very tasty)
I would avoid getting their Fryums or other fried snacks. They're pretty basic and not worth the $10 for 4 pieces.
Something that's been bothering me about this place is that almost every time I go the menu, pricing and weekly promotions (which no longer exists) changes. I think they're still in the process of figuring out their business approach, but it's very annoying for returning customers to find out that they're now having to pay an extra $5 for a side of rice that used to be included when ordering their curries. The few times I went recently, they also left off a few key ingredients from my Bombay sandwich and also the chaat, so again, I think they're still figuring it out.
Overall good, would come again for sure. But with a friend or two to grab my top items and maybe a cup of chai. This isn't a place I'd want to bring my Indian parents to - but I also don't think that's the audience Bombay is trying to reach.
