I recently tried Bombay Wraps because a friend, Chef Suzy Singh, has her recipes featured there on Friday mornings. Having just returned from India one would think that I would have been sick of Indian food... but I ventured to try this on the coaxing of my boyfriend. I had the Paneer wrap. It was well seasoned - not too moist and not too dry. There was a sweet and spicy red sauce and a slightly spicy mint chutney to compliment. I used both. I also had a Mango Lassi - YUM! Max had a Steak wrap (uncommon for Indian food, right!). He enjoyed as well. This place is sure to become a local Friday morning favorite! read more

This is embarrassing but I have rekindled my interest in Indian foods because of this place. The first time I tried Indian food, I wasn't all that impressed. However, the wraps here are so delicious that I think Indian food deserves another try at a "real restaurant". My only beef with this place is that they have run out of the potato tava on several occasions when I've come in after 1PM and that it is VERY cold (and sterile looking/feeling). read more

The chicken tikka wrap... so good! The wrap and meat was so fresh and tender. The sauce had the perfect balance of seasoning.. so good!

I love the concept of this place. The wraps are a bit small but matched up with a side, it's a pretty filling lunch. I got the deal - 1 wrap + 1 side + 1 drink for $7. Pretty good! The chicken tikka warp was flavorful and spicy. The samosas were so cute; 3 small triangles that were quite filling. The place itself is small. There was a long line; it moved pretty quick. The service was very nice. This place was good; I wish my wrap was warmer, but no biggie. read more

Great food, good for vegetarians and meat eaters both. Yummylicious food! read more

Just had this today for the first time. I had the chicken Tikka wrap and honestly, it was delicious! The spicy cilantro chutney sauce was so good that after I finished my wrap, I drank the rest! Might have to try the lamb curry wrap next time. * One day later* Also, decided to follow up because I ordered this two days in a row. The Chicken tikka wrap is my favorite, but lamb and the paneer were great too! You can also order cookies for a delicious snack afterwards. I can't believe I have worked in the loop for years and never gave this place a try. Going to have to make this a regular spot for lunch. read more

They have all time great wraps, i love panner wrap, 2nd choice is samosa wrap & chana wrap. In short they have all vegetarian options with best wrap, even rice bowl is good too. read more

My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat, and Bombay Wraps seemed like the perfect place for a fast food lunch. We're both vegetarians so we got the Chana Masala chickpea wrap and the Paneer Cheese wrap. The wraps are made right in front of you in a Subway-style assembly line, minus the million toppings a Subway offers. The wrap is an Indian bread known as a "paratha" and consists of a soft, yielding interior ensconced in a thin, flaky crust. The fillings go on top, and you're offered a choice of caramelized onions and a mint chutney. My wrap (the chickpea one) checked all the boxes for authentic flavors, as did the paneer wrap. The paneer was soft and delicious, and the onions added some texture. However, my one reservation with this place is the messy logistical issue of actually eating the wrap. The wraps aren't big enough to hold the filling, so it all invariably spills out. Nothing a fork can't fix, but it definitely does make you want to grab a few extra napkins. The wraps aren't too big, so if you've got a big appetite, you might want to get another one or some extras (come for the wraps, stay for the mango lassi). The ambience is pretty no-fuss, with four-top tables and bright lighting. Loud Bollywood music videos play on a TV screen, but otherwise, it feels like any other fast food place. We went around 1 pm on a Saturday, and it was completely empty, but I'm sure it must get busy on the weekdays. Overall, great flavors tied together in a simple form, and for $5 that's a pretty good deal. read more

Authentic, fresh, fast and cheap. The place is clean and has seating inside and out. Perfect lunch or quick bite.

Nice place to grab a quick lunch in Chicago dwntwn..tese guys make pretty much decent wraps .. being a meat lover i loved the paneer wrap so much.. mango lassi was also good.. nice staff read more

Soggy wraps. Nothing special about this place. I had ordered a chicken and mutton wrap both were cold and soggy and didn't taste fresh. Wouldn't try again. Delivered through Uber eats within ten minutes of pickup. read more

I had the lamb wrap as well as the chana wrap the total was around 11 dollars. So much food I couldn't eat it all for lunch. Quick friendly service and the food was delicious. I don't live in Chicago but next time I'm back this will be on my short list for a quick and reasonably priced lunch. I now know that the lamb wrap is enough and that is only 6.50! read more

I really enjoy this restaurant for lunch. The wraps are very delicious and I love the sweet potato fries. I was unhappy about the lentil soup. I had not lentils, only juice from the beans. The prices are good. read more

Nothing to rave about. I got the chicken tikka unwrapped with a salad. The chicken was okay, Barely got any meat though. The salad bowl had a lot of leaves but came with not enough dressing. The only good thing was that it was reasonably priced. Something to try at least once I guess. read more

Bombay Eats - Chicken tikka unwrapped w salad - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was so unbelievably good. I had the braised lamb wrap. OH MY LORD; it was beyond and extremely filling. I also had their pea and potato samosas with a spicy dip in the side. They were INCREDIBLE. Incredible. The spicy dip is fresh af too! The empanadas are small and they come in an order of 3. I literally ate 9 they were so good! The customer service was A-1. The cashier was prompt, friendly, and inviting. I also felt the overhead music was just right (wasn't BLARING and annoying) + they play beautiful Indian music (not KISSFM - gags). I love this place and will absolutely be back here. The prices are right, the food is excellent, and the customer service and atmosphere is terrific. read more

They have a decent chicken tikka rice bowl, but those sweet potato fries? Amazing! They were perfectly spiced and yummy! The portion size is pretty good, too. read more

The food is pretty good. The service is shit. These people need to learn a few things about hospitality. I like my food spicy, I ordered via a delivery app and put in a note to ask for extra hot sauce on the side. They called me to say they couldn't do that because they charge extra for it. First of all, there was no option to add the hot sauce for a charge in the delivery app. Secondly, and more importantly, I ordered two days in a row and spent nearly $50 - I liked the food that much! I was going to put it in my regular delivery rotation had they not pissed me off. Was that worth it Bombay Wraps? ...turning away a brand new customer who was about to become a regular but is now giving you two stars? For a whole 50 cents? Fools! read more

They are located on Wells Street. I guess because of the el tracks this is considered less than prime real estate. That means the rent is lower and as a result, the street is filled with cheap food options. I chose the chicken tikka - I decided on the bowl instead of the wrap. The food was really tasty. My only qualm was I was still hungry. Maybe they should throw in a piece of naan as a side. Next time I think I will get two wraps which seem to be a better value. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch in the loop. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was not impressed by the chicken tikka and samosa wraps I had here. Like other reviewers, I think the wraps are pricey for what you get. Flavor is so so and the wraps get soggy so it's hard to eat. I definitely recommend trying Naansense if you're in the Loop and looking for Indian food. Their portions are larger and the flavor is spot on. read more

Mission #1: Find a decent Indian fast food place in the downtown area without having to walk all over Thy Kingdom Come. Mission #2: tell my current boss to shove it. Mission #3: get LOLycakes to lose weight. One of the three missions was a mega fail. Guess which one? I have lived in this beautiful city for almost 6 years, and I have been frustrated with the lack of decent Indian fast food in the downtown area. I am not going to a mediocre sit down buffet (Khyber Pass), or a highly unreliable fast food joint (Chutney Joe's - where the food can range from being spectacular to downright garbage). I just want a decent Indian fast food place that serves kathi rolls, samosas, and tikka. maybe some raitha and parathas. That's all. Enter Bombay Wraps. My colleague told me about this place, her friends own and run this joint. We went early to beat the rush hour crowd. I ordered the Chicken Tikka wrap and she got the Chicken Reshmi wrap. We also ordered samosas and a salad as side dishes. The wraps are made with parathas. Spicy succulent pieces of chicken wrapped in a paratha with diced onions and cilantro chutney. Pure bliss. My colleagues reshmi chicken was impressive as well. Tender pieces of chicken marinated in a yogurt sauce and wrapped in a pita with chopped onions and cilantro sauce. Another winner! Let's talk about the sides, shall we? The mini samosas (3 for $2) are quite the delight. Bite sized samosas perfectly made with the right blend of potatoes and spices. The salad was just salad. I am biased against anything green, so excuse my indifference towards salad. A bit of nostalgia. . . they carry Limca and ThumsUp. Two sodas that are all the rage in India, but rarely seen in the US. Limca is the Indian version of a lemon soda, ThumsUp is the Indian version of Coke. My cruel semi-Indian heart felt happy seeing them in the fridge. Prices are perfect, even cheap, for a downtown lunch spot. $3.99 for chicken and veggie wraps, $4.99 for the steak wrap, and $5.99 for the lamb wrap. The mini samosas are 3 for $2. I left stuffed for under $10. I felt happy and rejuvenated enough after this wonderful meal that I told my boss to shove it. It felt good! As expected, mission #3 was a big fail. LOLycakes has become a Groupon whore and he will not stop eating everywhere. How am I going to get his sorry ass to fit in a wedding gown for our wedding? Oh, the tragedy! Halp, please!! read more

I'm vegan and there's not many options in downtown Chicago, but this is a great place to have close to work. I always order the Chickpea Chana Wrap. I would eat one of those everyday if i could. I'm biased though because I LOVE chickpeas! read more

Krsna V called me a glutton yesterday. After having dined at Bombay Wraps two days in a row, I guess I can't deny that accusation. Though I think it's quite rude of him to have pointed out my vice, I have decided to forgive him as it was he who turned me on to Bombay Wraps, one of my new favorite lunch destinations in downtown Chicago. On my first visit I was forced to choose only one of the many wraps that intrigued me on the small menu. The chicken tikka wrap won out over the curry lamb, beef boti and chicken reshmi wraps. I had it with a side of mini samosas. The very generous Reuben H and Aurore L offered to share their curry lamb and chicken reshmi wraps but I declined figuring it would be too messy. Later, I was kicking myself for passing up on the opportunity to sample more wraps. When the lovely Melanie S. expressed interest in visiting Bombay Wraps, I jumped at the chance to try more of the BW fare. I was also determined not to make the same mistake with her and suggested that we share our meal. Being just as curious about the food, she readily agreed. We ordered the chicken reshmi, the beef boti, samosas, Bombay sweet potato fries and a Bombay salad. Having tasted multiple wraps I can now speak intelligently on what I like best. All three wraps contained a generous portion of meat swaddled in a toasty paratha. All three were very tasty. My favorite is the chicken tikka with its onion and cilantro topping. Following closely is the beef boti which is spicier than the others. The chicken reshmi is also good but it's a little dryer than the chicken tikka. The samosas tasted better on the second day; they were a little soggy the first time around. The staff at Bombay Wraps get bonus points for giving us two additional samosas when I clumsily dropped one on the floor. With an average price of $3.99/wrap, BW is an excellent value, especially for the loop. Try and get there before 12 or after 1 to avoid long lines. Word seems to be getting out about the cheap/tasty eats. This glutton is already planning his next visit. read more

After an aborted attempt at going here yesterday, my favorite brown Yelper, Nishan P., and I tried again today for lunch. Or maybe I should call it brunch, since it was at 11:30 a.m. I don't usually eat lunch so early but Nishan said that if we didn't get there by 11:45, there'd be a line out the door, and since I'm still on crutches, he appreciated that I didn't want to stand any longer than necessary. What a guy. And being the chivalrous gent that he is, he even met me in the lobby of my office building to walk over there with me and hold the umbrella, since it was drizzling. How nice is that? Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled review. He was right on about getting there when we did as we beat the rush. The menu is not huge, but there is still a good selection to choose from, and nothing on the menu is more than $5.99. He had literally been there just the day before so he was already familiar with the menu and guided me somewhat since I am an Indian food neophyte. We ordered a bunch of stuff and decided we would share. - steak boti: a ton of filling; nice little kick to it - chicken reshmi: flavorful and tender, but mild in spice - Bombay salad: not sure what made romaine lettuce, cucumbers and radishes "Bombay", but the lime vinaigrette dressing was good - sweet potato fries: loved the seasoning they used. Nishan doesn't even like sweet potato fries and he liked them, so there ya go - samosas: only thing I didn't try, but according to Nishan, they were decent, not the best he's had, but certainly good enough The service is very enthusiastic and pleasant, which is hopefully not largely due to the fact that it's still a new place. When we were paying, Nishan grabbed my tray to carry it for me, and the samosas went flying, and alas, one of them was a casualty. The man behind the counter gave us a new bag to replace them, even though not all of three had fallen. I thought that was very kind of them. Give Bombay Wraps a try. It's cheap eats, and even better, it's good cheap eats. But listen to Nishan and get there before noon to avoid the lunch rush. read more

Few things you need to know about Bombay Wraps: 1 - Cheap 2 - Tasty 3 - Fast 4 - They have a frequent customer card. 5 - Get the samosas. 6 - Thums Up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thums_Up) bottles! Are we done here? read more

After my first shift as a waitress EVER (I know, I know...but it's never too late to start, don't hate) I was just STARVING. And - oh yeah my legs were just so freakin' sore that I couldn't walk more than 2 blocks without passing out on the street....which could have been pretty messy and time-consuming. So I decided to: 1 - get some food 2 - that would not be very far from me Bombay Wraps = evident choice. I had been there before with a couple of gentlemen of my (fancy) entourage, and loved it. I was craving their cilantro chutney. Crack on wraps for me please!! Chicken Reshmi ($3.99) and a small salad on the side ($2) Really yum, quite healthy and not heavy on the wallet. But what was super duper wonderful was the service!! This girl behind the counter is just amazing!! So nice, smiling, chatty.....my new-to-the-game butt was really impressed!! She even brought me a glass of water to the table! I checked in on Foursquare (my stupid phone allowed me to for once) and saw that one of my fellow Yelpers is mayor of the place with.....11 check-ins?!?!?!? Can you guess who? read more

Mediocre food and portion size. Service was ok. Had a container for complementary water, but it was empty.

I don't know what's up with all the great reviews. I think this place deserves 2.5 Stars. 1. The wrap that they use is super oily 2. It's pretty small 3. The sweet potato fries were way too salty The flavor of the wrap is fine, but pretty small, I just couldn't get over how oily it is. It's not a bad place, I'm just giving it a 2 rather than a 3 since they received so many good ratings. I definitely don't think it deserves a 4. Nothing Special. read more

Here I had one of the best barbacoa burritos that I have ever eaten. The fact that it wasn't called that, and was actually Indian (curry lamb) means nothing to me. That thing was real good! But then I tasted the chicken reshmi and was mad that I was eating a really good lamb wrap... That chicken reshmi was beyond good! Now, if only it would remain open beyond 4:00 PM, then we could talk about a fifth star... read more

I LEFT HUNGRY I know people love this place, but I'm simply not on the bandwagon. First of all, I left hungry which is never a good thing. One paratha and few bites of chicken tikka just arent enough to fill me up. Also, the the flavor of the chicken tikka was good, but it didn't blow me away. I guess I was expected bolder flavor. Seeing how slight the wraps are, I decided to order a side of samosas. Guess what? These were mini-samosas. Tasty, but tiny bite-sized samosas, not the tennis ball-sized ones I'm used to. Appetites (and people) are big in the Midwest and I would think that they'd need to adjust to their surroundings and offer larger portions or more value (perhaps 2 wraps for $6.99?). That said, they're always busy, so what the hell do I know? read more

WHAT IS UP WITH THE EVIL CASHIER? Bombay wraps is a great concept that is poorly executed. I live right next door, and actually waited a few months after they opened due to the long lines and how packed it is at lunch to check it out. First time: I waited for a day when it wasn't crowded and it still took me about 15 minutes to get out of there. There are like 8 things on the menu, and really all they are doing is scooping meat and plopping it down. ITS REALLY EASY. The workers there are slow and I am a generally patient person. I finally get to the cashier, and they had all the wraps mixed up. The older female cashier was rude and put up a huff when I asked for red sauce. The food was good (lamb and chicken) and they have orange fountain soda. Over all, my mentality was GET ME OUT OF HERE! Second time: I go in there today, because I enjoyed the food and there was no line. I ordered chicken and steak, and get to the register with a minimum waiting period for them. It still seemed like a process for the counter clerks to scoop, wrap and push to cashier. Then SHE grabs it. The meanest cashier to ever exist. I don't know what it is, but there is evil permeating from her eyes. I asked for red sauce, but was given green. The service here really is terrible, but the food keeps me coming back. Its a simple menu, and honestly, if they added one more item... I fear the workers brains would explode. Bombay wraps is such a good idea.. it just needs a lot of tweaking service / customer service wise. Also they should consider purchasing the place next door - at least for a seating section. Your current place is so packed, I could never imagine eating there - though the communal seating is a plus. **UPDATE** : I forgot to add their entrance door is a fire hazard to due to the fact you have to pull to leave and push to walk in. Not the smartest idea when you have a very small restaurant that is very crowded. read more

This. Place. Totally simple Indian food bundled up in bread to make a wrap. The chicken tikka was AWESOME, but on the small side. Maybe that's why they had a special for 2 in one of their package deals. read more

Where do you get Lunch-N-Show in downtown, during your 45min-1hr lunch break? Bombay Wraps is the place to be! I loooooove the 2 hugh LCD TV screens showing non-stop Bollywood hits, definitely brings the place to life and hey, great way to avoid awkward conversations while stuffing your face with their amazing wraps! The meat wraps are amazing, but really, you HAVE TO TRY their Cheese PANEER wrap!! When I first had it, I honestly thought the chewy cheeses were tofu and I swore I could be vegetarian if all dishes were THAT good. The spices used definitely adds a zing to your lunch, so be prepared to gulped down water / pop! Mmmm love Bombay Wraps! If you work around Wells st, chances are you'd see me there 2-3days / week! read more

Finally, someone thought to provide us in the loop with an Indian alternative for lunch; and it happens to be a new concept of wraps instead of rice. Think fast food Indian cuisine. You can get chicken tikka or lamb wrapped in what I think is their version of naan bread (not the big, fluffy kind). That's cool because don't we just wanna sop up ever bit of our Indian dish with naan anyway. Killing two birds with one stone, I'd say. It's a fairly small menu of wraps and sides are sweet potato fries, a salad or 3 samosas. I have had the lamb curry wrap and it was pretty tasty and very flavorful. However, note to all restauranteurs...PLEASE TRIM THE MEAT OF THE FAT! Nothing is more gross than having to sift through a bite of food to remove the fat or gristle! On another note, the samosas were pretty good too. The space is simple and small, but there is window and table seating if you want to dine in. Service? Well I'll cut them some slack since I'm sure they're still working out their groove in that assembly line to prepare your order. The main order taker kept getting sidetracked from making my order b/c the people after him couldn't remember what was what. Hence, the hold up at the cashier. They'll figure it all out, I'm sure. read more

I loved your vegetarian paneer wrap. It was the PERFECT portion and had the PERFECT balance of spice. I also appreciate how the sauce was not too sweet. The wrap was the perfect size too, which helps me justify eating something with ghee during the work week. (I definitely need to work out tonight!) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't change your spice levels to accomodate people with weak-ass bland palates. If they can't handle the spice, then there's plenty of other boring options for them. read more

I love Indian food, but you can't find the real deal in the Loop. Bombay Wraps is not even traditional Indian fast food (like Annapurna on Devon) but uber-Americanized Indian food. The wraps are essentially naan with Indian filling. They are small, convenient and cheap. For vegetarian wraps, they are less than $5, which may seem like a good deal. As a petite Asian woman with a small appetite, I was able to eat a wrap within a few minutes. It was yummy, yes, but I'd need two to fill me up. They offer two vegetarian wraps, one of them being vegan and the other being paneer. Samosas (albeit small) are freaking cheap at $2 for three. You can even get one regular sized Samosa for that price at an Indian restaurant. Around lunch time, this place gets mad crazy. Ridiculously beyond crazy. The lines become very disorganized, so I wish they put up more queue posts ... whatever they're called that guide the customers down the line. There are two entrances to Bombay Wraps and customers come in from both. It's hard to figure out where the line ends. I think one door should be the entrance and the other the exit! Anyway, I've waited 10 - 15 minutes to order as Bombay Wraps isn't exactly Chipotle fast. If you have extra lunch time, then it isn't a big deal. If you want faster service, obviously come before or after prime time. There is seating but it's somewhat limited and you may not like all the congestion from the lines. Better to order and get back to your office. read more

I went here because my fellow South Asians had mentioned a quick service Indian restaurant had opened up downtown. In the land of forgettable, regrettable and tolerable buffets, I decided to give Bombay Wraps a shot. I like to support my fellow countrymen or anyone that tries to bring Indian culture/food to the masses. But boy, was this a major let down. My assessments: 1) Bombay Wraps was a clear disappointment. The wraps are unbelievably small. I'm a petite 5'2" 100lbs girl, so needless to say, I don't have to eat much to sustain myself. When I ate my wrap in three bites and was still starving for more, I knew we had a problem. The Chicken Tikka wrap was tasty, or at least I think it was since there was barely any there to remember. 2) My friend had the "Steak" wrap. I've had better taco meat. 3) The samosas were comical. Save yourself the money and get a frozen box of 20 for half the price at your local Indian Grocery Store. They will be bigger and of equal or better quality OR they could be the very same ones. 4) Best thing I put in my mouth was the Limca soda and that was courtesy of Coca-cola bottling. 5)The decor: Although trivial, the cross between a subway station with its tiles and the Barney's Purple Felt Skin colored walls, this place reminded me of an 80s dream. 6) Saving Grace: The Bollywood videos playing in the background. read more

Went here during the week for lunch on a random off day...and was surprised to see a line at like 2pm! I had heard really good things about this place so of course I HAD to check it out. I ordered the paneer tikka wrap which was fantastic, the right amount of spices and flavor without going overboard. The sweet potato fries were ok.nothing special and the samosas were your standard samosas (nothing special) The best part though is that they have thumbs up and limca...! I was in line just about to order a sprite when I saw the Limca bottle...I swear I did a little leprechaun hop :) I was so happy! The food was great...i wish they would open one of these in the UIC area...and even better yet a late night one. Maybe we could have our own little "khati roll" type of place for late night eats! read more

Unless I am starving, and everything else is closed in the area, I won't be eating here again. What did we try - Lamb Roll - it was so salty that we couldn't finish most of it. Chicken Tikka - alright Chicken Reshmi - alright. Why it sux: (1) Rolls/Kati Rolls, whatever you want to call them, are usually made out of fresh fairly thin parathas, hot off the tawa. Bombay Wraps uses cheap frozen thick parathas. (2) They definitely dont know how to wrap a wrap or make a roll. If you try to unwrap the foil, the whole thing falls apart. (3) chicken tikka and chicken reshimi were definitely not made in a clay oven...it was simply marinated in some cheap spices and grilled. read more

this review is for the service, not the food. I unfortunately didn't get to order. I first walk in and am almost run over by a delivery guy. No problem, I hold the door open then rush to the other door and hold that for him, too (his hands were FULL and he seemed to be struggling). No thanks or acknowledgement that I'm going out of my way, but whatever. I return to the restaurant and am nearly overrun by another worker, and play out the same scenario. It was odd. I've never been to Bombay, so was curious what vegetables were part of the "vegetable medley" that accompanies the unwrapped wrap. The worker answers in clipped English and shows me chickpeas, onion, rice. I pointed to the menu and repeated my question, indicating it says it comes with either a vegetable medley or house salad. He says, yes - Vegetable, rice, chickpea. Not giving up, I try to order the unwrapped with house salad (forget the vegetable medley!). He tells me salads are on the menu. He then scoots away behind to the kichen. I wait a minute or two, then another worker says "ma'am?....oh, nevermind." I wait another minute and decide to take my business elsewhere. Poor customer service due to broken communication due to non-English speaking worker. It was an odd experience all around, and I'm still unsure what is in a vegetable medley. read more
