    the entrance to the indian cafe

    When I was a student, this was my go-to default food option on campus. I recently found myself back on UB's campus for a meeting and being hungry, I was unsure of where to go. As I stepped forth to see if Bollywood Bistro has changed in any significant way, I noticed the same man behind the counter that I was familiar with. He seemed to recognize me and I felt committed to ordering something at that point. Their most popular option is the buffet option. For $7.99, you get rice, two dishes and a naan. They generally have the same options: for vegetarians they have a cauliflower curry of sorts, kidney beans, lentils, paneer and a chicken makhni for meat eaters. I got the chicken makhni along with the cauliflower and kidney beans. It was a pretty delicious and low-cost dining option. That said, they could improve if they: 1) offered brown rice as an alternative 2) somehow got airtight to-go containers. Their styrofoam containers overflow with curry sauce and then end up spilling if you transport in your car and don't eat it right away. 3) Gave you less rice and more of the good stuff ;). Nonetheless, Bollywood Bistro has been a comforting and psuedo-healthy option for me for many years and when I relived the nostalgia this past week, it did not disappoint. I'm a fan.

    Pindi chana and butter chicken (I asked for no chicken chunks, sauce only)

    Honestly not bad for a college campus Indian place. The prices are cheap for the heaping portions ($8 for 2 entrees and lots of rice plus naan) The butter chicken is surprisingly good flavorwise, but I request just the sauce with no chicken chunks just because I'm a little picky but they are very accommodating. The pindi chana is good, but is kinda spicy for me. It gives me hiccups haha I got the palak paneer once and the spinach was gritty, so I've never gotten that again. Overall though if Im craving Indian, it's convenient and not bad by any means

    The items are too costly and not worth it! If you want to try indian cuisine avoid this place at any cost

    We were here for a surprise birthday party. The buffet was set up with two appetizers. One was a…read morepotato samosa. The other was a green leaf(unknown plant) that was deep fried. There were two dipping sauces. One was green and chunky(like a salsa) and the other looked like soy sauce. It had a nice kick to it. I ate both the samosa and the deep fried leaves. I liked the fried leaves very much, with the dark brown spicy sauce. Not easy to eat, but tasty. The hot items on the buffet were labeled, but I did not write down the names. One was, of course, rice! Most of the dishes had nice chunks of chicken in them. The Tikka Marsala was my favorite, lots of chicken with the peppers and seasoned sauce. There was also a dish with paneer cheese in it. Also nice, and the paneer does get nice and soft. Another dish was a chicken curry. There were several dishes that were vegetarian. Everything I ate had a nice flavor and some also had some heat/spiciness. I think the lunch buffet is offered 6 days/week. It's $19.95. It's a lot of food for lunch. It is not clear whether the buffet is also available at dinnertime.

    Service amazing! Food is good. We had the mixed grill with Chicken, Shrimp and Veggies. That was…read morevery tasty. The curry chicken sauce and lentil soup were both more watery than I am used to to the sauce and broth at Taj Grill is much thicker and creamier. The service was TOP TIER and would be the reason why we ho back because Ive had better Indian food elsewhere, but it was good. Check them out.
