I love Indian food. I married into an Indian family so I had better love it. Sometimes when I get Indian food for lunch at work, my wife gets jealous that I ate it without her. But when I tell her about this place, I'm guessing she might not care as much. I've been wanting to try it for a while. Today I rolled the dice. And I'd say my experience was decidedly mixed. Basically, the samosa was excellent. Knowing her she'd love that. The Gobi Manchurian, one of my favorite dishes, was decent but I've had better flavors elsewhere. But I'm not complaining about it. Knowing her, she'd say it was OK at best. The Chicken 65, another of my favorites, is something I'm complaining about. The flavor was just way off. All I could taste was hot spice and lemon, and nothing else. Knowing her, she'd want to throw it out. I ordered it mild, but a lot of places where I do that it doesn't affect the other flavors. Maybe it does here. I will say they had a pretty decent mango lassi. So a couple things kept me from making this review worse. I'd come back here if I craved a good samosa and lassi as a snack. It's hard for me to try anything else past that now. read more

Bombay Dhabba has been my go-to place, for dine-in and takeout. Although today I went to pick up my order and found them closed. I had even paid online for my order. This was unexpected and I hope their business is doing well. Their food quality and service remains excellent in my eyes. read more

Went with my daughter for lunch in June 2025. I have eaten Indian food all over the world, and this is truly the best naan that I have ever had. The paneer tikka masala was heavenly, and the other three curries we had were fabulous! The woman who welcomed us and made the food made it very clear to us: "This is YOUR restaurant, And you are very very welcome!" The only critique is that the air conditioning was off, and it is a hot day by our Pennsylvania standards. However, we understood, because it is certainly not a hot day by Bombay standards, at 87°F! Thank you for a wonderful meal, served with utmost graciousness! read more

Very yummy food Feeling super pleased ! Looks like a mom- son duo , feeding malvern well read more

My go to place for Indian food. Does not have an extensive menu, but what they serve is good. Kitchen visible so you can watch your food being made. I've never eaten in. Interior is more basic cafe than restaurant. Staff are friendly. read more

I have liked the snacks and chats I've had at this place as well as the one in Norristown. I've liked the veg items much better than the non veg ones. So good place for quick veg bites I'd say. read more

This place is dope. We've been to other locations and we're happy to see this one in Eaoli. It's a small business and only had two staff the Saturday we visited so service was a little slow. But this food is going to ruin the image and the style that your used to. read more

Tasty food and variety of choices. However the food color they had on some of items were over the top. I think some items on the menu are really good and some not that much. read more

As I'm new to the West Chester area, I was interested in finding a good Indian restaurant around here. This one was about ten minutes away in Malvern and looked like it had a good selection. I picked up dinner to-go for 3 people. We ordered: -Vegetable Samosas x2: These were a good size, cooked well, and had a great filing. Two pieces per order, so we got two orders. -Paneer Tikka Masala: Sauce was great, but there was not a lot of paneer for an entree. -Channa Masala: Really nicely spiced, and a good portion size. -Chicken Makhani: Again a delicious sauce, but the amount of chicken was lacking. -Garlic Naan x2: Delicious! Warm and fluffy with an intoxicating garlic smell that almost made me rip into the bag on the way home. Definitely recommend getting two orders for 3 people. We received three nice containers of rice on the side. Next time I'd like to try their Kati rolls as the pictures look mouth-watering! Service was friendly and food was ready on-time. Overall I thought everything had good flavors and the quality was good. However, I felt the portion sizes for the entrees were not up to par. We each got a few pieces of chicken and paneer and then were left with an abundance of sauce. And extra sauce is great! But for the amount of food we ordered I expected to have more protein in the entrees (especially the paneer) and be a little fuller by the end of the meal. If you want to order here I think you will enjoy the food - maybe just order a little extra! read more

Sooooo....The chicken makhani with naan was great! We enjoyed lamb Rogan Josh - it was a yummy - though it didn't taste anything like Rogan Josh. Again, it was delicious, so no love lost. The only favor I'll ask of you is if you order 'Aloo Papdi Chaat' and they give you a goopy mess, please do not consume. It's a relative simply dish which I'm not sure why they have a hard time putting together. See picture - of what I got and what it should be. I went back and told them to remake it, and they still brought out this mess. They did take it off my bill so I totally appreciate it, but being a bombayiite I can't let this pass. read more

Bombay Dhabba Malvern - Inedible goopy mess of an Aloo Papdi Chaat vs what it should look like! - Indian Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Traveling home from a late travel soccer game for my oldest, we happened upon Bombay Dhabba. The food came out quickly and appeared/tasted to be fresh and hand-made. Folks in the back were talking brightly to each other, even this late on, while rolling and filling dough and cooking. Any questions we had were answered quickly. While most of their business seemed to be carry-out (we were the only customers eating inside), everyone was helpful and kind. The restaurant is colorful and clean. While no one sat down to eat when we were there, it was probably because of the late hour on a Sunday night. However, the in & out traffic of to-go orders suggest we weren't the only people interested in eating there. Anything we needed was at-hand or offered to us. The food was delicious! My wife is vegetarian and my boys and I eat meat too, so we loved the mix of choices for all. The vegetable samosas were hot and perfectly done for an appetizer. We got two Family Meals - this let's you get two choices of entrees and two bread choices. We did one veg and one meat combo. The Dhabba Lamb Curry was a fan-favorite for the boys and I, as was the Saag Paneer for the whole crew. We also had the Dal Makhani and Chicken Tikka Masala - similarly fantastic. I will be wanting more of their Garlic Naan as soon as possible, too. Each person was able to get a sample of things they wanted and left quite full. (This says a lot because I have a 16 year old who plays sports and is NEVER full.) My 8 year old now expects to come here weekly as the lady who sent food over the counter buttered him up with all kinds of kind words and a Mango Lassi at the end. Here's to more soccer games in the area! I know exactly where we will end up! read more

The tasty place to eat in and around Malvern area. Their food are made freshly every single day with touch of home cooked meal. I am giving them a 5 Stars just because taste of their food since it is far in between to find any good desi restaurants. Most of their menu items are better than every other restaurant in the area, at least in my opinion. Due to their small seating arrangements it is hard at times to find any table. This is my new go to place for all my"to go" orders. read more

It's a go-to place for quick pick ups. Wada-Pav, Chole Bhature & Kathi Rolls are must try. The restaurant is very clean and the owner / main chef is absolutely top notch! read more

Very pleased with both the food and service! (Disclaimer: We have only ordered delivery). I have gotten the paneer tikka masala twice and loved the spices - great taste. I've had a lot of tikka masala and theirs is very flavorful. Their garlic naan is delicious. My boyfriend has gotten both the saag paneer and paneer makhni and he really enjoyed both as well. They delivered in under an hour both times which is impressive to me since most delivery places take longer. Overall very happy and we will definitely order from them again! read more

Pricing doesn't match the quantity of food they serve. They are more like small plates or Tapas Food tasted average read more

Vegetable Samosa taste awesome, not greasy at all. Chicken Tikka Masala is delicious with some smoky taste, yum! Saag Paneer has this creamy smooth spinach and small cubes of cheesy paneer. It's greenish color and consistency may not look appetizing, but boy Oh boy, it's sumptuous with a piece of naan or a scoop of basmati rice. I will be back for more! read more

Food was horrible. We ordered Chicken biryani and it doesn't taste as an biryani it's just a masala rice mixed with few pieces of chicken in it... Just waste of money. We also ordered Veg Manchurian. I don't have any words to explain it how was it... Because I don't think it's a veg Manchurian. Sorry for reviewing such We are so disappointed by this order. Last time we ordered food and that's amazing I loved the food at that time... For that reason I gave 2 stars... read more

We ordered take out from Bombay Dhabba today It was great! We ordered all the usual chicken tikka masala, aloo ghobi, lentils, saag paneer, naan, etc. Today we added Dhabba Curry Chicken, never had it before and it was fantastic!!! Great job and thank you to the chef. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Blandest biryani I've ever had in my life. The pakora was good and the makhani wasn't bad either but the naan wasn't freshly made and overall there's no reason to repeat the experience with so many good Indian restaurants in the area. read more

Best Indian street food I ever had in Pennsylvania. Love their Wok Bhaji Pav and different different Kathi Rolls. read more

Bombay Dhabba Malvern - Opened on Feb 18th, the first day I was there - Indian Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Never having tried Bombay Dhabba, I didn't expect a lot from my Biryani order. I'd ordered them elsewhere and been disappointed with a bowl of uninspired, spicy rice with a little meat. I was pleasantly surprised in my Chicken 65 Biryani here: plenty of tasty chicken, moist, spicy rice (including whole spices). Another surprise: the dish looked exactly like the photo on the menu with a big piece of lemon and sliced onion. Bombay Dhabba (a "dhabba" is an Indian roadside restaurant) sells food Indians buy on the street from small vendors. Check YouTube, particularly "Delhi Food Walks" for some fun visits to these places. I'll definitely go again to try their other offerings. read more

I don't favor Indian food but a friend recommended it so we tried this place for the first time, it was amazing!!! We ordered a bunch of different dishes so that we can try a little of everything, it was all good but the lamb biryani was our favorite. The garlic naan and butter naan were still warm when we got home! Overall excellent dinner! read more

We had the veg platter which had rice , panner curry , navaratan korma and samosa chaat. Both the dishes tasted great and would definitely come back again. read more

Wow I really loved the food from this restaurant! Excellent quality for a reasonable price. The delivery was also fantastic! Thumbs up!

Worst food experience. I ordered two garlic naan, tadka daal and daal makhni. When I went for pick up there was one family eating and one bag on the back ledge not accessible to customers. I stood there waiting hoping to be acknowledged. Finally the chef came to ask the table how the food was and then asked me what I was waiting for. I said I had a pick up order. Of course, the bag waiting on the ledge was mine. She handed me the bag and said my food is so tasty you will remember moms' home cooking. I felt so good leaving there and couldn't wait to get home and eat. Sadly the naan was in edible. I mean never had anything that bad. Daal makhni was okay but the tadka daal was so thick and tasteless. Thank god she wasn't referring to my mom's cooking because this was worst food ever. read more

Great food!! I had the mixed veg pakora as well as the okra curry and garlic naan. All of it was delicious. I did think that their mint chutney tasted a little bit off. I don't know why but it tasted like banana blended with cilantro. Regardless the rest of my food was great and I will definitely order again because one of the attractions to this restaurant in particular is the Dhabba which my coworker told me was used in Punjabi mostly for truck stops and highways. They specialize in serving local fare and comfort food. The food was definitely comforting. I will absolutely order from them again. read more

I moved to US just over an year ago and finding this restaurant was a bliss. After moving from India I have always been looking for good Indian food and my search stopped here. The food is amazing and over that the prices are very reasonable. Staff is courteous and service is quick.They dont try to rip you off in the name of authentic Indian food. This review is specifically for Malvern location as I have also tried their Audobon location but the taste here at Malvern location is different and far better. The credit goes to Vikas Gupta who is the chef here. Apart from being a great cook he is very friendly and understands your taste and tweaks the food as per your taste bud. Overall, he knows what he is doing. All the items on the menu are delicious and it ia difficult to choose just one. Be it tandoori, indo-chinese or street food menu. Everything is just great. One should try this restaurant atleast once and I am sure they won't be disappointed. read more

The food was good but they would not honor the coupon on Yelp. When I called to place the order and asked them about coupon the owner said the coupon was not for their location and was going to call Yelp to have the coupon removed but the coupon still shows-2 vada pau for $5. read more

My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch platter yesterday. The veg platter came with paneer tikka masala, vegetable kurma, rice and a delightful naan. The food was served fresh and hot, and the taste was authentic and just right. Even the basmati rice was made just perfectly. The owners were such a nice couple, and explained to me that they make every dish after receiving the order, and I think the few minutes of wait is completely worth it. It was a most satisfying meal, and we hope to go back again soon. read more

I am American and have been eating Indian food for 20 years and even went to India 2 years ago. I ordered Palak/Saag (spinach) medium spicy and it was PHENOMINAL!! I can't wait to try other dishes. Take my advice and go to this restaurant, you will LOVE the food!!!!!!!! read more

They made our cholay bhature fresh. We like the one in Audubon area better taste wise than this location.

The food at Bombay Dhabba in Malvern is excellent. I have followed Vikas, the chef, to a few different restaurants, it is always worth the drive. Thank goodness for Facebook which allowed me to track him down in Malvern. Last night we ordered Dal, Vindaloo, Rogan Josh, Bhindi Masala, Naan and Raita. All excellent! So happy to have my favorite Indian chef back. read more

Excellent food that was well seasoned, full of good flavor, and precise with pick up time when we ordered takeout! This was our first visit and we will be back! read more

Have tried many Indian restaurants. We always come back to Bombay Dhabba and this location in particular. It's very affordable and the food is always good. Would definitely recommend! read more

Ordered chicken Rolls but they are so so and not worth the price. Way expensive for that quantity.

Bad quality food. Veg Manchuria and chilli chicken taste both the same with no difference except chicken pieces in the chili chicken.

Worst behavior ever. The staff doesnt have the basic courtesy. They shouted at us for being 5 mins over the close time. Would never ever step into this place again. NO GOOD FOOD CAN MAKE UP FOR TODAY's RUDE BEHAVIOR. read more

Methi chicken korma one of my favorite one, been here many times and all times i taste authenticity. Feels like having food on indain hoghway dhabba. Very good customer service read more

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner at Bombay Dhaba Malvern. Ordered vada pav which was STALE!!! and smelling badly!! We decided to dine in for the first time at this restaurant . At 8.50pm the lady working in the restaurant kitchen shouted from there that they were closing at 9pm. At 8.58 she came to our table while we were eating hurriedly to finish our dinner and said that the restaurant is closing and that she has to go home!!! We exactly left the premises at 9pm so that they could close the restaurant on time and they would not have to go home late because of us. This was the most wierdest experience ever. How do you treat your customers??? Specially when people have started showing some confidence and visiting restaurants after ordering in for almost a year due to COVID!! Worst experience for us and we would never dare to dine in or order from this place!!! read more
