    Bollywood is definitely one of the top Indian places for food in my opinion. I always had take-out in the past, but this visit I sat in their dining room. It's simple and quaint. Mr. Raj, the owner, took our order and he explained everything so well. They don't have Americanized versions of the top Indian dishes, so he was clear to let us know what to expect from Bollywood. The chicken tikka marsala and the tandoori chicken were pretty good. They also have the robot to bring food to tables, which is cool, but it seems like they need to work out a few kinks. The robot brought us the wrong food to our table and they had to take it all back. The server said they will unload the tray for tables, but the tray lights up and tells you to please take your food when it arrives to the table. A little conflicting. I enjoyed my time overall, and will definitely return!

    Garlic Naan (with Cilantro)

    Bollywood is top notch. There was no problem parking. We were seated immediately and received service right away. There is ample seating and the restaurant is pretty nice size. The service was great. Our server did an excellent job explaining the menu and making sure we were satisfied with our food and experience. The veggie samosas were some of the best I have ever had. My chicken tikka masala was a little different than other restaurants I have been to. At this place, it's not creamy, it's more of a tomato based sauce. Whatever it is though, it was delicious. The place was lovely and the food was good. What more can you ask for?

    This place is very unassuming. The decor is nice and clean and the restaurant looks on par for the local community. The food completely blew me away. This is the best Indian food I've had in a long time and I'm shocked to see a restaurant with this amazing quality of food in the area. The service was exceptional and the owner was wonderful in giving me the history of their many vegan/vegetarian options on the menu. There are many options for dietary restrictions. We will be back often. I am thankful to have this wonderful restaurant in the community and I highly recommend. The whole experience felt like a warm hug.

    I ordered the samosas to start and the tamarind sauce was delicious. The curry came out not long after and was tasty, but not very hot temperature wise. Not a bad thing, but I do prefer it to be warmer to start. The laccha bread was nice and fresh. Overall I had a good experience and would go again. Service was good but it took a while to get the check after I had finished eating.

    Goat Nani - didn't enjoy as it was very basic

    I truly believe in supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive which is why it's difficult to leave this 2 star review. Service was decent and the waitress friendly. However the food from apps to entree were sadly lacking in Indian flavor. I love Indian food but was in shock at the lack of authentic spices and flavor generally found in this amazing cuisine. I ordered the combo appetizer and while it was well fried (not oily), it was just okay. The green and brown sauces were served combined and the flavor was the only thing that helped the apps. I order the Naan with potatoes which was a soft and unpleasant mess. The texture of the naan was so soft it was weird and there was almost no potatoes as filling. I've never had BLAND naan but there is a first time for everything. For my entree I ordered the Goat Nani. It was a one note dish, but the problem is I can't tell you WHAT that note was...I couldn't taste any ginger or distinguish other ingredients. The goat was pretty fatty, as is the case with goat sometimes, but the meat was tender when I was able to cut some away from the fat & bones. Sadly the meat had no seasoning and the sauce didn't have enough personality to elevate the taste of the meat. Lastly the food all came out TOGETHER! Not as an app and then the entree but given my dissatisfaction for the food I didn't complain. I don't believe in wasting food and almost always take food home to see if I can improve it to eat but I didn't here. I'm sorry to admit that I literally left 85% of the food on the table. Businesses should know that customers pay attention to the manner in which others are treated. An older couple thought they ordered one type of naan but apparently it was wrong when they cut into it. The lady explained to the server it wasn't what they wanted and tried to explain to her upon ordering and she told them she'd order the correct item. When the older gentleman asked if they were going to be charged for the wrong item, the server responded YES because you ordered it. That kinda turned my stomach because it's not how you treat customers in my humble opinion. I get it was an error but they didn't eat it. I tipped my general 20% and left.

    We've been coming here since 2012 (?) - either way, it's been a long time and we keep coming back. Raj, the owner, is usually bustling around, but he takes the time to help with orders and check if we like the food. If you're overwhelmed by the menu, he can help you narrow down what dish to get and the level of spiciness. We usually get the Lamb Mango, Lamb Makhani-Madras, and the Lamb Bollywood. Lamb Mango ($19.95) is on the sweeter side - it's not very spicy and serves as a buffer alongside the spicier dishes. Lamb Makhani-Madras ($19.95) is creamy and pretty spicy. It reminds me of a spicy butter chicken, with decent amounts of lamb. Lamb Bollywood ($19.95) is extremely spicy, but in a nice painful way. Each dish comes with basmati rice with cumin seeds. We also order the assorted breads basket ($6.95) to wipe our plates and bowls clean. We also love the hot masala chai - very flavorful and a little spicy, perfect for colder months. The large size is enough for a couple cups each for 3-4 people. The paneers are good, and we've gotten the goat as well (which comes with bones). The desserts are alright, but come in small portions. You can also order beers/flights from a decent selection from the adjacent Taphouse. I know they have a $10 lunch buffet Tuesday-Thursday and a $14 lunch buffet Fridays from 11am-2:30pm. These are mostly veggie/paneer/some chicken options. Overall, best Indian food you can find in St. Mary's County! A little pricey, but we end up with tasty leftovers.
