Came in a couple days ago for the first time. Super big inside and is nice for a work party dinner or just with friends. Wanted to try the famous street food and asked for samosa chaat and dahi puri. I think one of the servers there wasn't fully versed with the menu because he kept insisting that they didn't offer samosa chaat, even though I had previously called the restaurant before arriving to confirm that they offered it on the menu. Luckily though, we were able to clear it up with another member of their staff and were able to order the chaat. Food was good! Samosa chaat is worth the price and they give you 2 samosas and your money's worth, though I would have preferred a little more channa dal gravy, but I'd still get it again. I think some people like thick naan, but I personally the one they serve here, where it's thinner and tears easily, instead of thick and stretchy. Makes it easier to scoop curry onto. The Dahi Puri didn't wow me as much, maybe because it felt like something I could easily put together at home and didn't come with that many puris. Maybe it's for people who aren't familiar with the dish, who don't know what it is. But I didn't think it was worth almost $11, basically the same price as the chaat. Overall though, I think I'd come back here and try more of the dinner options, they looked promising. And the restaurant has a vast number of popular street food options too which I'd like to check out in the future. read more

This place has the ambiance of an upscale restaurant and service is better than typical Indian restaurants. We started with Achari Paneer Tikka and Soya Chaap. Both the dishes were good. Main course was a Paneer dish and mix veg both of which were disappointing. read more

Delicious! Naan was the thin flimsy kind. Butter chicken was good as always. Went on a weekday so it was pretty empty. Service was attentive and atmosphere was quiet read more

We really enjoyed our experience here! The drinks, appetizers, and breads were all delicious, and the cheese garlic naan was such a hit with my kid. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The Kohlapuri chicken curry also had great flavor and depth, but it was much sweeter than expected. Authentic Kohlapuri chicken curry is usually known for its bold spicy heat, so I was hoping for a spicier version rather than a sweet one. Ambiance was pretty good and felt like eating at a good restaurant in India. Overall, the food quality was excellent and we had a great dining experience. Would definitely come back again! read more

It was better than expected. I tried chicken kolhapur and it was very flavourful. The lacha paratha was great but I felt it was too buttery - but flavour wise nothing to complain about. The ambience of Bombay Bistro is really upscale. It doesn't get better than this. read more

Stopped by for dinner and it didn't disappoint. We pretty much loved everything we tried except gulab jamun doesn't really go with the shrikhand they serve with it.Seperately both taste good but was too sweet. Other than that everything was delicious. Service was quick and efficient and ambience is kinda fancy and justifies the price point for this area too. Would recommended for a date night or indulgent dinner. read more

The waiter Habas is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice and the food is delicious

A new fine dining in town with plenty of parking and a great ambiance! It's one of the new ones with QR codes and it did take couple of tries to get the QR code working for me and it usually works in the first attempt at most places! We were tight on schedule and given that there seem to be 4-5 families waiting for the order, we went ahead with take out. The service did seem bit slower than expected! Hakka Noodles - this was as good as we get back in India. This might be the dish for which I might think of going back. Everything from the noodles, chicken and veggies were perfect! The medium spice level was met! Bandra Vada Paav - this was great. Would not call it exceptionally great as I would have loved more flavor and spice in the patty and the garlic chutney. Peshwari Kadai Paneer - was oily but the sauce and the paneer were great! The Tandoori Roti and Naan were ok. Chowpatty Dahi Poori - while the Poori & the potatoes masala was great, the yogurt was super sweet than usual. It was like a dessert. read more

Very nice food. There is too much variety. Quantity and quality both perfect. Service is too good. Server name Abbas was very nice. He also served complementary dessert. Ambiance is rich. read more

Lovely place with great ambiance . Served were nice and quick . Went on Sunday for early dinner and they had happy hour going on where it was 15% off on appetizer . Appetizer quantity was good enough for 2 people with one dish. Noodles were street side noodles , pavbhaji was great . I didn't like chat as it was not crispy. Took dal makhani and panner pasanda. Panner was very nice gravy of cashew and tasty. Dal was average . Would definitely recommended going for happy hours and try the appetizers read more

Was looking for a good casual dine-in Indian restaurant around greater Seattle, and a friend recommended I try this spot. The restaurant interior is upscale and welcoming, making it a great choice if you're looking for an Indian restaurant for special occasions. Comes to the most important part of the review: I mixed my picks between my own choices and some popular ones suggested by my gracious waiter, Ankit. And, Ankit was right--the popular dishes, mutton soup, lamb chops, and Murgh Banjara, blew us away with their finesse in taste and presentation. My own choices, lamb rara and chicken lollipops, weren't as great. Finally, this is a good pick for a special occasion, and don't hesitate to ask your waiter to help you make your choices. read more

Hmmm let's start with the nice decor, large space, friendly service and plenty of parking. The restaurant was freezing cold though, we kept our warm jackets on the entire time, that's not comfortable to eat. The tables are also very small/narrow, so 4 people ordering food with side dishes and you had to juggle what goes where, that was kind of annoying. They seem to not be deep enough and they won't give you a larger table, even though the place was half empty. The food needs some more oomph and spices, I had the korma, ok - nothing to write home about, the Tikka masala was very tomato heavy and also lacked flavor. We ordered 3* and barely got any spice at all. The garlic naan gave me bloating, which I never experienced with Indian naan (unless it was something else in the meat dish). I think they need to work out more kinks, I'll definitely give it another chance in a couple of weeks to see if there was improvement in the flavor. read more

The restaurant is beautiful!! The service was always with a smile!! The food OMG delicious!! I highly recommend the Bombay Bistro. My family will be regulars. read more

The atmosphere and service was really good. But two things to note - - The Dum Biryani was more like mixed rice with very less pieces and dominant rose smell and not the proper south Indian style biryani - Shahi tukda is not the ghee roasted bread but it's a "baked" one and it's mentioned the same on the menu also. read more

Highly recommend for flavorful dishes, comfortable atmosphere and terrific service. The dal Tadka and soya peas pulao were wonderful with generous servings in charming cookery serving bowls and pots. read more

Freakin yum. Perfectly executed Indian flavors. We got both dishes at a medium spice level which tasted more like a mild (I like my shit hot hottt) but I was able to ask for a side of green chillies which did the trick My only complaint is that I wish they had a physical menu instead of a QR code. read more

Would give the food 3.5-4 stars, but cutting one star for service. The restaurant is marketing itself as an upscale dining restaurant, but their service needs a lot of improvement. Most of the servers were expressionless and uninterested. They did not have any physical menus as they just updated their menu. The qr code provided barely work and did not have the full menu. We were handed a very run down torn old menu to decide our drinks Coming to the food - would give it 3.5 stars but a lot of misses and a few hits The aloo tikki and afghani chaap were great The peshawari chicken ( medium spicy ) was extremely spicy and not edible. Chicken banjara was really dry We ordered their kala khata cocktail and ginger mocktail - both were good but the kala khata cocktail was very very sweet. Overall, there is a stark difference between their marketing and experience. Their service needs drastic improvement. Would not recommend read more

nice-looking restaurant, cool décor, feels like you're about to get a proper feast. Too bad the food didn't get the memo. The dum chicken biryani had absolutely nothing to do with biryani. No spice, no heat, no depth. it tasted like the plain rice you'd get with Middle Eastern kebabs or mandi, just borrowing the wrong name. The lamb galouti for $20? Forget minced lamb, this was straight-up lamb paste. The texture was toothpaste, and instead of lamb flavor you just get buried under a landslide of spices. Not spicy, just spiced to death, like they were trying to hide the fact there was supposed to be meat in there. Chili chicken? Basically sweet & sour chicken wearing a fake mustache. Zero chili, all sugar. The samosa was fine, the naan was fine; but only because they didn't come up with a new way to ruin them. Overall, Bombay Bistro has the vibe and the décor nailed down, but the food? Feels like the chef read the recipe titles, skipped the actual recipes, and just winged it. read more

The ambiance is pleasant and the staff is friendly, which made for a nice overall experience. However, the dishes felt overpriced considering the taste and quality of the food. Also, despite the name "Bombay Bistro," the flavors didn't really reflect authentic Mumbai cuisine. read more

Bombay Bistro in Redmond delivers a lively, modern take on Indian dining while keeping the soul of classic flavors intact. We dined in and ordered a spread across starters, curries, breads, and biryanis, which made it easy to see where the kitchen truly excels--and where it could push a bit further. The dining room feels warm without being crowded, with upbeat energy and tables spaced enough for conversation. Service landed in the sweet spot: attentive without hovering, and courses paced so nothing sat cooling off while we waited. Plates arrived hot, garnishes were neat, and servers were ready with extra napkins and water refills before we needed to ask. * Rawa Batata Tikki Chaat: Crisp-edged cutlets with a semolina crust and soft, spiced potato centers. The chutneys built layers--tamarind brightness, herbaceous mint, and a gentle heat--so each bite had contrast and crunch. Portion size was generous for sharing, and textures stayed crisp to the last bite. * Chicken Lollipop: Meaty drumettes, well-fried with a clean crunch and juicy interior. The marinade leaned savory and mildly spicy rather than sticky-sweet, which kept them from feeling heavy. A squeeze of lemon sharpened the flavor nicely; would pair well with a cooling raita if offered. * Garlic naan (three): Puffy, blistered, and brushed with just enough butter to carry the garlic without turning greasy. The crumb was tender, not gummy, and the char added a subtle smokiness that stood up well to the richer gravies. * Paneer Tikka Masala: A comfort dish done right--creamy tomato base with balanced sweetness and spice, and paneer that stayed soft and springy. The gravy clung to the paneer rather than pooling thinly, which made it ideal for scooping with naan. Spice level felt medium, approachable without dulling the tikka aromas. * Chicken Kolhapuri: The most assertive dish of the night, with a rustic, fiery profile anchored by roasted spices and dried chilies. Heat builds rather than shocks, and the chicken remained tender in a sauce that tasted layered--not one-note chili. It's a standout for those who want bold, regional character; naan or a simple rice helps temper the intensity. * Goat Dum Biryani: Fragrant basmati with distinct grains, a saffron lift, and goat pieces that were tender and well-seasoned. The dum technique showed in the aroma and cohesion--no oily slick, no clumped rice. A side of salan or raita would make it complete; even without, it was satisfying and balanced. * Vegetable Dum Biryani: The one miss. While the rice was cooked properly, the vegetables lacked depth and seemed under-seasoned relative to the rice, so bites didn't feel integrated. A richer stock, more robust masala, or finishing steam with aromatics could elevate it. * Kala Khatta Mocktail Super refreshing and a perfect foil for the spicier dishes. It tasted bright and tangy with a pleasant sweetness that cleansed the palate between bites. A great nonalcoholic choice to balance the meal. * Value: Portions match the price point, with appetizers sized for sharing and mains that comfortably serve two with bread. * Pacing: Dishes staggered well--starters first, then mains--so the table never felt crowded or rushed. * Consistency: Hot plates arrived hot, and garnishes were fresh, suggesting good line timing and attention to detail. * Must-order: Rawa Batata Tikki Chaat, Chicken Kolhapuri, Paneer Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan. * Good pick: Goat Dum Biryani. * Skip/needs work: Vegetable Dum Biryani (as currently prepared). If you're planning a visit, start with the chaat, split a lollipop, pair curries with garlic naan, and choose a single biryani so the table doesn't tip too heavy on rice. Overall, this is a strong spot for Indian flavors in Redmond that leans bold and satisfying--come hungry and ready for spice. read more

We ordered Misal Pav, Paneer chilli, fries(kids), Paneer Pasanda and Garlic naan. Misal Pav tasted excellent. I wish they had the authentic square plates for serving this. The plates were too small to eat this. We ordered fries for the kids, but they showed up at the end of the meal after we finished our dinner. It would have been convinient for these to come first for our toddler. The staff realized this and did not charge us for this. Paneer pasanda was quite authentic and garlic naan met expectations. Definitely would love to come here again. The place flows with good intentions and with more practice can become top notch read more

I ordered takeout from Bombay's Bistro today. I've never eaten here before. The food was very good! I started with the Bandra Vada Pao, a very tasty little sandwich! Still a bit crispy around the potato ball when it arrived, great flavors! Next I had the butter chicken, it was very creamy. Not the best flavored butter chicken I've ever had but still very good and the chicken was SO tender. Probably the most tender chicken I've ever had in a curry dish. The garlic naan was okay. A little flat but not bad. I finished with their blueberry gulab jamun. Very tasty. My one complaint is that 2 balls is a smaller portion size than I expected for $13. read more

I was very happy the Redmond, WA location was open on Christmas. We got take out including: Baigan Bharta - very tasty eggplant dish Cheese garlic naan - perfect with the eggplant Achari Paneer Tikka - Paneer coated with a tasty seasoning Tandoori chicken - yum They inadvertently left out an order of butter chicken but when I called to report that, there was no fuss. I could either come get it or they would refund to my card. Gracious and apologetic. The atmosphere of the restaurant looks very inviting. Next time, I will eat in. And probably order some of the same things :-) read more

Bombay Bistro in Redmond feels like an upscale take on Indian dining and is a great spot for a date or a special night out. The atmosphere is stylish and intimate. The chicken tikka was excellent fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked with smoky flavor. The Chilli paneer really stood out as well, offering bold flavors. Very unique cocktail menu was a pleasant surprise - definitely recommend the Desi Kala khatta. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, Bombay Bistro is a standout choice in Redmond and a place I'd absolutely return to. read more

Tried them for lunch. across the board everything we ordered was a diappointment. We asked for chicken curry and the server said it's not on the menu but we have it. and we ended up with nilgiri chicken which we knew we didnt want. chicken tikka was old and reheated. Didnt even care to carry back the left overs. just doing the decor doesnt get you to keep customers. focus on quality. read more

Everything was great . Service ambience and food. I like kala khatta it was so good. I also tried their bullet naan and makhmali kofta and it was amazing. And last was paan icecream so flavorful read more

Bombay Bistro - Indian Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Bombay Bistro serves an outstanding lunch special. It was varied and delicious and a generous portion. I would put it up there with the best Indian food in the area. read more

TERRIBLE! Absolutely terrible service. My dad waited over an hour and a half for 7 items. Which was supposed to be 12. He handed over his phone with the order from their website and amounts of each which would have totaled $145. Which the price isn't worth the amount of food we would have received. I understand that it was busy but he noticed many people coming in, ordering more food than he did and leaving before him. Very discriminatory behavior and prioritizing others based on ethnicity. Very pissed at the results of the food and will NOT be returning. Thank you for the lack of attention to detail and diplorable service. read more

Really excited about this place opening so i thought I'd order take out. Ordered the lamb vindaloo. The amount I paid for versus the amount of lamb I received was disappointing. It was nothing but potatoes and rice. The heat and spices were good, but I'm not a vegetarian! I'll stick to Southern Spice in Bellevue. read more

We've been here a couple of times as a family, and the ambiance is great. Recently, I booked a table for a friend's send-off, and they accommodated us with a wonderful seating arrangement. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious -- we especially loved their Khatta meetha Mojito, and the naans were the best: soft and light, not dense at all. Their Chicken Kolhapur and Lamb Chettinad are excellent as well. Overall, a wonderful experience and a perfect place for both family visits and group gatherings. read more

This is a great place to dine in. Ambience is great and food was very good. The service was a bit slow and they forgot to bring one of our dishes but when we reminded them, they immediately got it. I would still go there, but if you are on a tight schedule, don't go. I am sure they will improve on their service time. I will definitely go again. read more

The cuisine is exceptional, the service is outstanding, and every dish is delectable.

Got Misal Pav as carry-out. The Misal taste was good, would prefer more gravy and spicy, the pav was decent. I thought the pav was smaller than what I would expect. Will try again soon read more

Absolutely terrible Indian food for the greater Seattle area. My party arrived at the restaurant at 7:30pm on a Friday night. It took us until 8:10 to get a table. That can be forgiven - a good restaurant is bound to have a wait time. Yet it only went downhill from there. We placed our first order with the waitress by 8:20. The food was definitely on the pricier side so we wanted to order a little first to see what the portion size was looking like. That order itself took until 9:00 to arrive. Before 9:00pm we also placed two more orders - one for us to eat because we were worried about the time and another as takeout for a family member at home. Eventually, after we finished the first round, the takeout order came. It didn't strike us that anything was wrong until time continued to pass and the second order still didn't come. We later found out that they had forgotten about it. At this point it was 9:50 and we were so tired and had lost our appetite that we just had them cancel it for us. Now onto the food. We ordered a few types of naan, two side dishes (paneer tikka and the kofta), chilli paneer, and hot and sour soup. All of the food was extremely bland and sweet. Did someone dump an extra cup of sugar in this?? The kofta itself was especially disappointing. There were only 3 balls!! The bullet naan we ordered also had no flavor or spice. The garlic naan was average. The chilli paneer was given to us severely undercooked. The hot and sour soup tasted artificial and like maggi sauce out of the bottle. Finally, when the waitress was refilling my glass of water a bit of food poured into the glass. It was nasty. I will give it a plus for the ambiance. The interior was absolutely gorgeous and the bathrooms were well maintained. The exterior does not live up to the interior though - I walked in with low expectations that should've been a warning for the rest of the night. In the end, the food was average. If I was getting it as takeout from a random restaurant on the side of a street after a long drive I would probably be happy. It was the wait times, subpar service, and prices that forced me to pay attention to these details. I will not be coming back to this restaurant and I am disappointed in my night wasted. read more

Food was acceptable , we had dinner there several days ago. It took longer than expected for the food to come. May be it is a relatively new business. Hope they will improve. read more

Ordered chicken biryani, received fried rice with lots of fried onions, and the chicken was perhaps microwaved or boiled and added with no coating of flavor or spices whatsoever! This is bad for $18.99! Ordered murg Tikka, portion was small for 18.99! New and clean but menu is not developed very well. read more
