Had food delivered for dinner last night and the man who took my call was delightful. What a delicious dinner and I just wanted to say thank you for everything! Now to say something having nothing to do with that gentleman, I am very sorry that the lunch special has gone up in price and I no longer can afford it unfortunately and I was a regular.

Their lunch special deal is a must-get! Especially if you live in this area. $16 (veggie) or $17 (meat) for any starter listed, entree, seasoned rice, naan, side curry, and dessert. Not a single thing we ordered in our lunch platter was bad. The lamb korma curry was delicious and on the sweeter side; the naan was buttery; the smoked eggplant was tasty; the curry was flavorful; the cardamom rice pudding dessert was epic. We were shocked by the value and how good the deal was - this place does not skimp on portions or variety. With one platter, I was stuffed, this probably could've lasted me 1.5/2 meals. read more

From the moment you walk in, the decor and the music put you immediately in Bombay. It is eclectic and exquisite. The service was excellent only outdone by the food itself. We had sag paneer, chicken sag, garlic nan and tandoori mushrooms. They were an explosion of flavor. Even the cups and saucers the delicious indian tea were beautiful. Can't wait to return! read more

Visiting from Chicago and this place was so good. We were greeted and seated right away. We got their chicken biriyani and yellow daal which was filled with so much flavors. It looks like a small portion but it's not. The ambiance inside is small but looks so nice. The poori was so big but enough for two or even one person. Definitely would be back and recommend for people to try. The staff there were also nice too. read more

Great food. Poor service. Mediocre ambiance. I left a good tip as a matter of habit, but won't be generous with my review. Other reviews detail the issues I'm summarizing, yet they persist. read more

We got takeout from the place and the lamb was the toughest I've ever had in my life. Inedible. At least the Naan was great, what a shame.

The food is a little pricey but honestly this is a hidden gem for how amazing and flavorful everything was. The ambiance of this restuarant is like no other, so colorful and well decorated, very unique to the culture which is what I really appreciated. My friend and I came here right when the restaurant opened and the service was great. We were seated and were able to order immediately. We did have to ask to refill water a couple times but that wasn't really a big deal. The food here though is probably one of the best Indian cuisines I've ever had. We ordered and shared the lamb pista korma and the goat cheese naan which are now my two favorite dishes. The curry was rich and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness. There were levels to the curry and the naan that I've never experienced. Although it was a little out of my price range, I would say it is 100% worth it. Would definitely come here again to try all the other dishes! read more

The whole dish is soaked by MSG. Too much spices, herbs all that and lack of depth of flavor. Service is inattentive with in-transparent pricing Their dish is either too sweet or too many herbs. Maybe pay attention to boost the flavor from foods themselves? Just an idea read more

Wonderful food and great atmosphere! We had the butter chicken, rosemary and garlic naan, jeera rice and lamb jardaloo. The lamb and apricot was a tasty surprise. The sweetness of the fruit combined with the savory meat! Eaten with the rosemary naan was heavenly. Our waiter kept our water glasses full and was helpful with the menu. The inside makes you feel like royalty, so many colors and feeling of warmth and love. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews. Usually I'll just move on but the food was so bad I had to so future people don't make the same mistake we did of ordering from here. We love Indian cuisine. Ordered delivery. The pakoras were so hard and overcooked they were inedible. Vegetable samosas and papri chaat were bland, just gross. The curries were the only thing we actually ate just because we were hungry enough, butter chicken and malai kofta, and both were worse than mediocre. It's expensive to order out like this and then to have it be this bad is beyond disappointing. read more

The ambiance was perfect for our birthday celebration, creating an intimate atmosphere. The team went above and beyond, providing attentive service throughout our time there. Last but certainly not least, the dishes were authentically delicious, each dish beautifully plated and served with passion ~ there even was an allergen question which was answered immediately! Our experience was exceptional, kudos to Deepak & his team. I highly recommend it for any private event or to enjoy great Indian food! read more

Always delicious! So well flavored, such friendly staff and our local neighborhood favorite. Chicken Tikka, Lamb Korma, Garlic Naan and Samosas are outstanding! Highly recommend, you will love it - we always do! read more

Food was good, above average in general. Really liked the fluffy Naan. The cumin rice was good, but I have to say that many cumin seeds get annoying when eating rice. The butter chicken was good. We really appreciated the fact that the good could be made mild when having kids, really important for us. But the lamb vindaloo was not spicy and seemed to be just OK. The saag paneer was really good, the dosa was not really crispy. The entrees don't come with rice, so order accordingly. I was surprised that they tacked on a 20% tip even though we just have a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 little kids). I thought the service was pretty good actually, so not annoyed but was just surprised (is this a new thing even for small family meals?) read more

Lovely atmosphere and great food, including regional specialties you don't find often! I like the servers too. I just with the portions were a bit bigger. read more

Waste of money. I know why the restaurant was empty. The service was polite. The ambiance was nice.

The food was so delicious at Bombay Chowk! I ordered takeout. Gobi Pops (4/5): The flavor was really great and spicy, but there was more batter on the cauliflower than I prefer Chicken Tikka Masala (5/5): The sauce was sweet and tomatoey, one of my favorite chicken tikka masalas. Saag Paneer (5/5): The saag was creamy and there were good amounts of paneer. Would order from here again! read more

If I could give zero star, I would. Like many others, we were lured by the high ratings of this place. However, the veggie curries we ordered had no veggies in them. They were just some kinds of creamy stews. I have never seen a Baingan Bartha without a single eggplant in it. To make matters worse, the bill came with a 20% gratuity included, even though the food was overpriced, the waitress was unfriendly, and we were only a party of 2! Nowhere on the menu or in the restaurant did we see written that a 20% gratuity would automatically be added to the bill! Overall, it felt like a total rip-off. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

We were looking for a place to have Indian food on the upper East side. The place is compact, but the ambience was fine with the wall art and music. There were people smoking on the street and the doors were open so some of that lofted into the restaurant while we were eating. Service was OK. We had to call over the waitress multiple times in order to get our drinks. Additionally, despite us having a $250 Bill, we had to pack up our own leftovers. The food was decent, but spectacular. The five of us, we got the bread basket with rosemary, garlic, and plain naans. The appetizers including paneer tikka was good. My favorite dish was the malai kofta, which was actually spiced just right and was very flavorful. The butter chicken was nothing special. Overall, if you're looking for somewhat expensive Indian place on the upper east side, otherwise I'd probably skip. read more

This is my new go-to for Indian takeout in the neighborhood. It's delicious, with heaping portions and fair prices. Plus, my order is always ready ahead of schedule. I recommend the North Indian special (apologies to my relatives in Kerala). That and a garlic naan are a full meal for two. You truly can't go wrong with any of the mains, but for the app, I recommend the supremely flavorful and juicy Tamarind Chicken Tikka. I haven't dined in yet--like I said, it's my go-to takeout--but will update this review when I do! read more

Good, well made Indian food but a bit overpriced. A mouse also ran into the restaurant near our table since the door was open but that's not their fault. Ambience was fine, leaning casual. Service was friendly and very helpful in recommending what to order. read more

Small restaurant. Lots of delicious flavors in the food. Interesting decor. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and an order of Butter Nan. The food was very good and flavorful. Service was good. The place is a little small so I don't think it's a good fit for a big group, but I recommend it for an intimate dinner or small gathering. read more

This ended up being a pretty middle of the road choice for a bit too high of a price. I ordered takeout from this restaurant. The jackfruit biryani was just fine - decent flavor and good texture on the jackfruit pieces, but I got a bit tired of it by the end. The tulsi panir ka soola had good texture, but was somewhat bitter as it seemed like the exterior had burned slightly. My friends had chicken tikka masala, chicken xacuti and garlic naan, which they liked, so maybe the non-vegetarian dishes are better choices. read more

Excellent gluten free offerings. Spicy but not over seasoned. Punctual delivery. I wish they had better deserts, but that is really it.

i have been there many times as i lived around the corner. I give them a score of 2.5 The pro and con: Con: the tables are always sticky even if i am the first guest for the day. The chair where you put your hands on are also sticky. The cushion part of the chair is sagging and in fact very dirty. Just black and grey. The ambiance goes for the old style looking and hides the real dirty stuff. I really don't care for it. Always, there is a bug, flies and mosquitos. Also under the table it is moldy, especially the table next to the window in the corner. My skin has reaction twice I sat there. I am allergic to mold. It is also very hot and stuffy when you walk in at 12 noon. Not sure why. Maybe they want to save money on AC. Food isn't cheap. Even Lunch is not. My entree of sag paneer was on the cold side, like it is not even lukewarm. I don't know what they are doing running the restaurant this way. Pricey. Too creamy sometimes. Moldy floor and moldy under table especially by the window Dirty. Flying bugs. Wish servers study English on the side and we can better communicate. Pro: when the food is hot, it is delicious. The deco is nice but hides the dirt and stains Try to pay them cash if at all possible. I definitely pay cash for tips so workers can go home with money that night. I will change score to a 5 star once they clean up their tables and floor. read more

Omg this place was absolutely amazing! I had the eggplant with garlic cheesy naan and it was delicious. The right amount of spice, the right amount of cheese. And sooooo much food!! My friend had the butter chicken with rice and regular naan and she also loved her food.

I haven't had delicious Indian food like this in a while!! So glad I discovered this place because I feel like I can keep coming back to try different dishes. They also serve Goan food, featuring regional dishes from the Goa region in Indian, which is something I haven't had before! The Shrimp Xacuti was incredible! It was a blend of spices that kinda tasted like traditional Indian spices but also had this natural sweetness to the sauce plus a nice, thick creamy curry base. The shrimp were juicy and paired really nicely with this curry. We wanted to try the dosas but the owner said their oven that day wasn't working so well so he actually recommend us trying something similar to the dosa filling. We ended up getting the badshahi keem mutter (that was actually mixed lamb and chicken). It was so fragrant with the well-minced and well-seasoned meat with so many different spices and peas. It was a little too spicy for my friend so I wish they had different spice levels you could pick from. The garlic Naan was chewy, fluffy, and definitely garlic-y. Overall it was a delicious meal! The staff were very nice, especially the manager who gave us great recommendations and answered our questions. Liked the ancient Indian decor mixed with modern vibes. Prices were reasonable for the UES. There are so many other things I want to try so I will be coming back! read more

I love this place. The atmosphere is fun, they play old Bollywood films on the wall, and they have comfortable seating. I came on a Saturday night, with my boyfriend who was breaking his fast from Ramanan. He was happy to find a restaurant that served Halal meat. The owner welcomed us, and brought my boyfriend a plate of dates, which was extremely kind. We each started off with a bowl of Dhal Ka Shorba, a mildly spiced homemade lentil soup. The server recommended to order Egg Chops with the soup. THEY WERE SO GOOD. Egg chops are made of hard boiled egg, enrobed in mild spices, mashed potatoes, lightly fried, with a crispy bread crumb shell, and a nice spicy dipping sauce. For an entree we shared an order of Chicken Kadhai, chunks of chicken braised in a masala of coarse ground spices with sautéed onions and bell peppers, and some naan bread. For dessert we had Mango Kulfi, a homemade Indian Ice Cream, and cups of masala chai tea. It was a great experience. I'm excited to come back and try more. The food is so fresh and vibrant. Great place to add to my roster of spots in UES. read more

This space transports you off the streets of NYC and into India! Small, intimate, funky and comfortable. We were a party of 3. Mango shrimp Gulmahar. Fresh and prepared very well. This is not like a typical heavy Indian meal. If yiu want quality this is it, if you want quantity, be sure to order nan and rice to fill you up. Charred smoked eggplant Bhartha. So good and soooo spicy. Thick and rich but a little too hot for me. Veg artichoke Korma. This was so good! Mild and surprisingly very sweet, but in a good way. I couldn't quit eating this! We had a Cab $10 (didn't even know I could order wine under $15 in nyc), and a cola. Great meal and service. Definitely worth returning. read more

I live about ten blocks from here but given that there are so many Indian restaurants closer to me, I never had a chance to try this place. I happened to be here waiting for my husband's medical procedure. Feeling a bit anxious, needed comfort desi food. So went here and had the pre fixe lunch sitting outdoors. I stepped inside and the decor is classic Indian. Naan: really among the best in class. Fluffy, fresh and delicious. Seriously, amazing naan. I would go back just for this. Dal: excellent Baingan Bharta: I found it a bit sour/vinegary but still tasty. Rice: okay a bit dry not great Papdi chat: most disappointing. Papdi was stale. I couldn't eat it. I love papdi chaat and so I am a bit bummed. But they have a fairly extensive menu and so I will definitely be back. read more

Bombay Chowk - Lunch thali - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Bombay Chowk is another restaurant that I discovered during COVID, when getting food delivered to my doorstep was pretty much the only way for me to have a chance at sustenance. I ordered in from here quite frequently, but felt like some of the menu items were meant for a dine-in experience, and didn't really travel too well. I finally got a chance to dine in tonight, and really enjoyed my meal. For an appetizer, the chicken wontons hit the spot. They are like a love-child of a samosa and a dumpling, and the pomegranate in the chutney really elevates the flavor and texture. The chicken kali mirch (boneless chicken in a black peppercorn sauce) is spicy enough to cause beads to appear on my brow, and I needed to eat it with some pea pulao to somewhat neutralize the heat. The gajar ka halwa looks fancy but tasted a little unevenly reheated. The masala chai is nice and strong. The service is very hospitable and the interior of the restaurant is warm and welcoming. I will be dining in just as frequently as I had been ordering delivery during the stay-at-home days! read more

We got the Palak Paneer, the artichoke dish, and something like tikka masala paneer. The palak paneer was the best and the other two not too crazy about. The artichoke dish was oddly sweet which we were not fans of. the tikka thing had too many peas and was not very creamy. The nan was good. The services was nice and good. Just probably would not come back as we didn't really like the food except the palak paneer and the prices were not that cheap like 18 per dish and 6 for a rice. Rice is not included . Not many Indian places in the area so probably will just try delivery from further away next time read more
