Toppings that they brought to the table
Sam R.

Either this place has changed a lot since all the negative reviews were posted, or those people are just wrong, because Bombay Bazaar was a fantastic experience not only food-wise but also service-wise. Perhaps they have added on the restaurant section or at least expanded it recently, because they have a full dining room and waitstaff that showed none of the negative traits I saw described in other reviews. All the employees we interacted with were very attentive and genuinely interested in making our meal there a good experience, asking multiple times how everything was, chatting, etc. The food was not only excellent but also different from the options available at most Indian restaurants in the area. I think that probably owes to the fact that this place seems more Pakistani than Indian. The wall decor was of Pakistan, the menu is all halal, and they serve beef. Seems pretty Pakistani to me, I'm not a huge expert but those are just some signs on top of the fact that the nihari we ordered is considered a Pakistani national dish according to Google. I was warned as I ordered that the beef nihari is very spicy, but figured I'd be able to handle it. It does pack quite a punch, but it's definitely manageable, nothing crazy. The flavor of this dish was very distinct, the taste of the beef spread throughout the dish and the broth made a great dipping sauce for our naan and rice. I ordered a piece of roti (the one pictured that's not the garlic naan) but it looked just like naan, not sure if theirs just looks different but it definitely had a taste that wasn't the same as naan so I think it's what I got. Not complaining because it was still tasty, just not what I expected. Since my favorite South Asian place, Dhaba Indy, closed down, I've been looking for a good replacement...Biryani Hut just isn't as good, Fresh Indian Grill in Carmel is too far away and too expensive...Bombay Bazaar might just fill the void.

Chicken Biryani, after I was done eating!

Visiting Indy and chose this place for takeout. I'm a huge Indian food fan, and this is the best biryani I've had in a long time, maybe ever. They were out if goat/lamb biryani so I had chicken. It had a lot of chicken - bone-in, tender and savory. So, so good and a huge portion - would easily feed 3. Also had Aloo Tikki app, which was great, served with a nice coriander (I think) chutney. And! I had the chana dal which was also great - perfectly spicy and very flavorful. Good prices for the quality and quantity. Would definitely be a regular if I lived here! They didn't appear to have dine-in - it's also an Indian grocery - but that may have just been due to COVID. I'd probably stick with takeout anyway.

The best tandoori and biryani is here at Bombay Bazaar - a hole-in-the-wall tucked behind 116th street and Allisonville intersection. Walking in, eyes lost into literally a bazaar. Rows of dry goods packed on disheveled shelves, post-it notes plastered behind the cash register, countertops covered with prepared food, halal meat sold in the back case. Don't let the appearance deter you away from how sanitary your food is. We waited for about 10 minutes to put in a food order since they were so busy. Majority of the customers were Indian/Pakistani which means the food must be authentic. Be accustomed to South east Asian/Asian customer service in general which is very little or none. It's order your food, wait, and take your food out. No time for chit chat. I found the owner very helpful and he handed us a paper take-out menu to call ahead and order next time so we don't have to wait for 30-45 minutes. We stayed on the safe side and ordered tandoori chicken and chicken biryani, went across the street to do some shopping. Upon returning, the owner was bagging up our take out. The char from the oven and spice aroma made my tummy grumble as we were driving home in the car. No utensils included. Wanted to make a dive in it with my hands but no wet naps to clean them off with. Finally home and the food didn't leak in the bag. Opened up the styrofoam boxes and it smelled so delicious. Large portion of spiced biryani rice and good amount of chicken included. It wasn't greasy or wet. Perfectly dry and fluffy. Careful with the green sauce included though, it's on the spicy side. The tandoori chicken only had drumsticks, no thighs. It was delicious paired with the raw red onion and squeeze of lime. Probably one of the better Indian places that's not a buffet I've been to. Definitely returning to try something else new!

LAMB/GOAT BIRYANI RICE

This little gem is neatly located in a strip plaza near my home and I have been passing it for years. Several weeks ago I visited their website and decided that I wanted to try their rice, the first order of rice was chicken biryani which was very delicious followed by three more orders, separate of course, of the Lamb / goat Biryani rice. It's simply fantastic and I cannot wait to try their Buffet.

This is a new Indian restaurant near where I live. There have been other Indian restaurants at this…read morelocation and next door to it, but this isn't them. If you are reading reviews, ignore older ones as they may apply to an earlier restaurant. I ordered take-out using an online app. Ordering was easy and the food was ready when I arrived. We started with the appetizer platter. Some were better than others, but the point of getting the platter was to see what we liked best. We shared a lamb with chickpea dinner and liked it very much. It came with rice and bread and 3 small portions of toppings. I also ordered the raita and a second kind of bread. One bread would have sufficed. We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.

I had dinner here with a friend on a weekday night and it was pretty quiet, but a few other tables…read morewere filled. The menu had a lot of variety including some dishes I hadn't seen elsewhere. I decided to try something new and ordered the Saag Bhartha which is eggplant in the familiar spinach sauce. The eggplant is cooked down so the dish is creamy and rich; it was very flavorful and a spice level of 3 was perfect for me. It had some heat but didn't result in a burning mouth. The garlic naan was delicious and the basmati rice that came with the entree was perfectly cooked. The serving size was very generous and I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner the next night. I definitely want to try more items on their menu and see some takeout orders in my future. Service was good, and the atmosphere was quiet and perfect for catching up with a friend.

Ambiance: We came on a weekend for dinner and it was fairly empty aside from maybe 2-3 other…read moretables. The place is clean and comfortable with tasteful decorations. The country music playing which was a little off-theme but it wasn't too loud and you can easily have a conversation across a table. Service was very attentive and food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. Food: For appetizers we got the vegetable pakora and vegetable samosas which were solid. There were 8 pakora per order so super easy to share and 3 samosas which are massive so you can easily split these in half if needed. For those wondering, "momos" are essentially the Tibetan/mongolian version of chinese dumplings which subsequently spread southwest to Nepal. We got the traditional Nepali, Chilli Yak, Chilli Chicken, and Chicken C versions which essentially covered the steamed, fried, and soup style preparations of dumplings. All of them were honestly delicious and different enough from one another we didn't feel like we duplicated flavors. The favorite was the Chilli chicken on if you have to pick just one to try. The traditional nepali thali is a dinner set that comes out on a bronze plate, I got mine with lamb curry which was very tender and not too gamey tasting at all. The basmati rice was fluffy and it comes with daal soup, cauliflower, a fermented pickle relish, and one of those syrup soaked balls (gulab jamun). It is quite filling so come hungry if you order this. The chow mein here is unique. It is NOT like Cantonese chow mein which uses a soy + oyster sauce base but instead the Nepalese version adds ketchup and chili sauce so it actually tastes like a hybrid between the chinese dish and spaghetti. It is actually quite tasty and worth a try if you're a fan of either dish. The naan here comes out a little bit oily but otherwise is fluffy and tasty, did not regret ordering it. Overall this place justifies it's 5 star rating. The flavors are punchy and delicious, the portions are massive, and the prices very reasonable especially the inflation nowadays. Would strongly encourage any to go out of their way to give this place a try.

We LOVE this restaurant!!! The portions and HUGE and DELICIOUS. The food is a bit greasy but that's…read moreokay. We always enjoy coming in. The restaurant is pretty quiet during the day.

Came for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. It was lively with lots of families enjoying time together…read more The buffet includes mango drink, hot chai and water. They bring fresh garlic naan to the table. Lots of food choices. I also enjoyed that there was a little bit of heat level in some of the dishes, not too mild. Was too full for the dessert options! Will need to come back. They also have many different and intriguing flavors of hand dipped ice cream. Service was friendly, welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend this nice buffet.

We stopped by Punjabi Tadka around 8 pm during the weekdays after traveling from Kansas City…read morebecause we were craving for some Chai and Pakodas. The restaurant was empty because it was past dinner time and pretty close to closing. We ordered Adrak Chai and Onion Pakodas. The ginger chai hit the spot and was the highlight of the evening - warm, nicely spiced along with comforting ginger flavor. The pakoras unfortunately were horrible. The batter was quite thick and they didn't seemed to be cooked right- texture and taste were disappointing. Pricing seemed reasonable for a quick chai ($5 approx) and snack stop but their menu was extensive with many more dishes to offer. We came in fairly late and mainly looking for chai that's why our experience was decent. The restaurant otherwise was very clean and maintained well with Punjabi songs playing in the background - total Punjabi dhaba style. I am giving it four stars only because of the Chai and how their restaurant atmosphere felt, but I definitely think they should work on improving their Pakodas.
