The smell of this place was a striking mixture of chai masala tea, cardamom and curry spices. The wait staff sat our group of four in a small middle table. This was a bit uncomfortable and we had requested a booth, but hey, they were busy.
We started off with two appetizers along with two bottles of La Crema, a delicious white that quenched the flame of the hot vindaloo dishes. My favorite appetizer was their sweet peshwari naan with cherries and coconut. This stuff tastes like pie filling! Add to that the freshly baked puti (puffed bread) and we were on our way to fantastic meal.
Bombay Cuisine shines when it comes to curries, offering seemingly endless variations. Plus, you can choose the level of spiciness to suit your own tastes. We ordered a five, not American five, but Indian five. The extra chilies cleared my sinuses and made my temperature rise.
As a vegetarians I found nirvana in the muthia (Indian dumplings) in a vegetable cream sauce. We ordered three different curries and the carnos ordered tandoori chicken. The curries were served with basmati rice.
Overall the best dish was the peshwari naan. Never had I experienced a bread product that thrilled my taste buds in such a way. If you go try this naan and surely you will walk away satisfied.
