Amazing service and even better food 100% recommend for anyone trying out new food, the restaurant feels very traditional and the food is authentic read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place. Best lunch buffet ever! It's always my first choice when I'm asked where I'd like to eat for my birthday, Mother's Day, any random day of the week... The food is excellent, the chef is very friendly, often coming out to say hello to guests, and the wait staff is attentive with bringing fresh naan, filling water glasses, clearing used plates. Again, we love this restaurant! read more

This is my local Indian place and I really want to like it more. It is ok. I would probably give it 3.8 stars. Pros: * They have a nice and popular lunch buffet (which comes with personal fresh naan) * The Naan is decent * The Tikka Masala has a nice flavor * Portions are large * Food comes out fast * They are open on Sundays Cons: * Service can be scattered... sometimes it is good, sometimes inconsistent depending on how busy it is * Music can be a bit loud / high energy * Last few times I was there, I had a lazy fly circling my table * The rice doesn't taste that good... rice is so cheap, so the owners should upgrade to a better basmati for a quick boost in quality * If you want something with any heat, you have to order Indian spicy/hot (as the regular "Spicy" tastes more like medium. I have never ordered above this though so I am worried it might jump to being too hot. * Some of the dishes I find favorable (especially the cream ones, but some of them are a bit bland (like the Vindaloo, Curries and Rogan Josh). They are still enjoyable, but if I order a Vindaloo I want it to pop. Overall, a solid place for dine in or takeout. I would recommend the lunch buffet if you want to try this place out first before committing to a larger meal. read more

I couldn't stay away from this place. I enjoyed the veggie biriyani, butter chicken and tea so much last week that I had to come again. I dragged my daughter here for lunch today and I was excited to dig in! So in my last review, I gave this joint 5 stars. I was taken by the tea and the food but in all honesty, I wanted to give this joint a 3. I wish the service was as good as the food. The only saving grace was the new server that was serving at the end. She gave me a nice to go cup for the tea when I asked and she was really sweet. She was so lost but she tried her best! Her co worker unfortunately wasn't as kind. The same gal that was rude last week was the same gal that sat us today. No real interaction really. She filled our waters and walked off. Since we were there last week, my daughter and I knew to help ourselves to the buffet. They had different items today which is nice! They had goat and lamb options. My daughter tried them and she said they were ok. We aren't big goat and lamb eaters but it was cool that she got to try it! I did notice some veggie options so I got to try them. I love the spices mixed with the potatoes and veggies. But again, my plate was filled with the veggie biriyani, veggie pakora and butter chicken. And now that I know about the tea, i had 3 cups of them bad boys! So worth going over the fluid restriction! The food was good as last week! I'm hooked on the rice, pakora and butter chicken combo. It's a winning plate! As much as I enjoyed food, service didn't match the food. theThe female server walked by us numerous times and filled other guests water. I finally decided to fill up my own water with pitchers that they have ready for guests by the buffet station. Aiden, the other server apologized for having to fill up my water myself. I told him about the female server walking by several times and not really had interest in serving us. Aiden did check up on us. It was nice that he stepped up to the plate. He got us another basket of naan. He also offered me a sample of mango lassee if I would leave him a review with his name in it. I appreciate Aiden and his kindness. He's the only reason why I'm giving this visit 3 stars. The female server has just left a foul taste in my mouth with my last 2 visits which is so sad. I think I'm going to hold off coming to this joint for a while. As much as I love the food, I'm not to happy about the service. Do I risk being unhappy with my server and being treated like garbage over butter chicken? Nahhh I'm worth a little more than that. read more

The food was very authentic, and our waiter Landon was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful with what to order. Overall, it was a great experience. Will definitely be going back! read more

What a delightful experience. Very tasty. Our server Carmen was a excellent host. My first time eating Indian cuisine. She guided us so well. I would absolutely recommend and look forward to coming back. I will definitely ask for Carman as my server. She made my experience a 10/10. Sincerest of Thanks :) read more

This was our first visit to Bombay. I like to place great Ambience wonderful location inside the Idanha hotel. Food is typical Indian food. I wish there was more choices like fish pakora which I love they didn't have it. It was a great day, though prices have gone up too... the service was excellent as we did serve ourselves, it is a buffet after all! read more

OMG!! I travel around the country a lot and have had lots of Indian food. This is by far the best tasting Indian food I've had. I had the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The sauce isn't too creamy, it's a nice beautiful chunky like texture. Chef's kiss IMO. read more

The food was not what we experienced the last time we were there. We believe it's got new ownership, and the recipes have changed. We always get the chicken saag for the spinach... there was hardly any. I'm probably won't return, which is sad. It was a a Christmas Eve tradition for us. read more

Their buffet is delicious and an excellent value. Our family loves to eat here. The employees are always friendly and the restaurant is pretty. It's in an old historic building which is cool. read more

We love this place. Seems they may have trouble keeping staff; often different servers clearing dishes, etc. Food is excellent. One suggestion: when people are waiting to pay, and leave, put telephone callers on hold. This is a common issue amongst businesses and happens frequently everywhere. On our last visit at the grill, the young girl was trying to handle our transaction and the phone at the same time. No good. Overall, highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Bombay grills lunch buffet for over 2 years and has never missed. The consistency of good tasting authentic Indian food is amazing. The staff are all great, especially Aiden, who every time has been very quick, helpful, and very friendly with his service. Great, clean dining area as well. Will be coming back for years to come.

We were so pleased upon trying this place for the first time. It is downtown Boise in an historic building and I didn't see any way for mobility-challenged visitors to get inside. They have a buffet lunch that is extremely popular. Plenty of delicious food choices, tea and Naan. We went back too many times to mention. The staff is cheerful. helpful and polite - something that is in short supply these days. We were presented with more Naan without having to ask and it is delicious. We were able to complete lunch before our 1 hour of free parking at the ParkBoi parking lot expired. That is a big plus for eating in Downtown Boise. Strongly recommend. read more

I love the buffet concept for Indian food. For people just trying out this type of cuisine, it gives them a good variety of things to try. The staff were super friendly and regularly turning out hot food. They bring fresh naan directly to your table and offer a chai tea station. I enjoyed the lamb curry. There was a spicy chicken dish that was their featured dish. That was also very delicious. I had to tap out after two very full plates. Delicious! read more

Lived in the valley my whole life and am bummed I haven't been in sooner! The butter chicken was amazing!!! So much flavor and the spice level was prefect thanks to the servers suggestion. We want to come back and try the lunch buffet read more

The buffet here is AMAZING!!!! Such a huge variety of food options the way the restaurant is decorated give off a nice ambiance to eat I loved the way it looked the service is quick they sit you down and you go to town on the food and even Indian Thai tea is bomb. You have to go especially for the price read more

I was really excited to try Bombay Grill, but my experience was a letdown. The butter chicken arrived with shredded chicken and tasted more like Mexican food than anything remotely resembling authentic Indian cuisine. It completely missed the creamy, rich flavor I was expecting. The lamb curry wasn't any better, it was bland and lacked any of the warm spices or depth of flavor you'd expect from a curry. For the price and the hype, the dishes felt stripped of character and authenticity. I would totally recommend Spice Indian Cuisine in Meridian. It's 100x better for the same price. read more

Both the Butter Chicken and Lamb Curry are unbelievably bland. Only had one stop from a waiter other than ordering and receiving the food. No warm light, all white. read more

Amazing service and top notch food! You can't beat the quality and variety they offer in their lunch buffet. We make it a point to come here at least once a month to get our fix. read more

I grew up on Boise but live out of state now. We come back every summer and always make a point to come here for lunch. The lunch buffet is the best in town, and may be the best Indian buffet I've had anywhere. Food is amazing, the occasional surprise dish, and service is friendly. Having chai, desserts, and chutneys included is a bonus, but the variety and quality of the main dishes alone is enough reason to visit. read more

One of the best Indian lunch buffets I've had. Lots of options and busy which is always a good sign. Yes the naan is not in a hurry to arrive at your table during lunch, hopefully they can improve on that but the food is good. read more

Am I obsessed with the lunch buffet? Yes. Absolutely top notch chai and a delicious selection of traditional Indian dishes. Jora was wonderful! Thanks, Bombay! read more

Bombay Grill is the BEST Indian restaurant here in Boise, ID. The food is always delicious, the staff is pleasant, and it is a comfortable and homey atmosphere. I recommend you come here for the lunch buffet for great prices and delicious food. read more

Things have really gone downhill. The Saag smells like homeless and the Malai Kofta balls are hard and flavorless. Just don't go here.

This restaurant is amazing! The food and service are excellent! If you are looking for fresh yummy Indian food, you have to try the lunch buffet. I loved so many dishes, it was hard to pick just one favorite. I left my jacket at the restaurant and didn't realize it until I was at the airport. We called, and they mailed it back to me right away. They didn't even let me pay for the shipping. How does service get any better than that? Love this place!! read more

We have been eating here for four years and we love it! The owners are a family of good, kind people who want to share their delicious food with you. They are hard-working and care about your experience and want to ensure you are happy with the food and the ambiance. I highly recommend this place! I am also happy to learn that they just opened a second location last week! Congratulations! read more

The buffet food here is fantastic. We've been many times. However, we are here as I write this, and not only were we not brought naan (which normally arrives shortly after you're seated), we have even asked for it and haven't received it. So if you can't remember to take it to the tables, put it at the buffet please. Oh, it finally came when our plates were almost finished. If they had to make it, shouldn't you have some available throughout the buffet times so that it can get out to the customer before they've finished their meal? read more

Always amazing food and service at a reasonable price. The fresh naan and bottomless chai pot is amazing. This place never disappoints.

Food tastes amazing. Family owned restaurant which I appreciate seeing still exists. I will be coming back.

and it was mighty tasty!! Plenty of options and everything I ate was tasty! As always at buffets I ate too much. I like how they brought fresh Naan to your table and then refilled it. The dishes were all flavorful and will gladly go back! Our hostess/waiter guy was very unfriendly which was unfortunate. The owner came around multiple times and was super warm and friendly! So that made up for it! read more

I have eaten Indian food all over the US, from California to Maine AND in Europe (sadly, not in India yet). Indian is one of my favorite cuisines so I try restaurants everywhere along my travels. I am visiting Boise and decided to try the Bombay Grill lunch buffet. I can hands-down say that it is the best Indian buffet I've ever had, and I am a bit of a food snob in that I am very particular. Granted, a couple things I tried were just OK (still very good), but for the most part, everything was excellent. There were plenty of options for everyone. They have all the popular favorites, but include a nice variety of other things to try. It gave me a good idea of the quality of items on the menu...and this was just the buffet! The spice level was just right for a buffet too...nothing hot, but still perfectly spiced and flavorful. If I lived here I'd be a weekly customer at a minimum! Kudos to the staff, who allowed me to grab a plate at 1:55 when I got there (the buffet closes at 2), and then asked me if I wanted a refill before they removed everything. It was so good that I did grab a spare plate and shouldn't have because I was still eating at 2:30 when they closed and I couldn't eat another bite if I wanted to. Bravo as well to little Karman who is a very articulate young lady helping out at her family's establishment over the summer break. read more

I was looking forward to a delicious Indian meal. What I found was disappointing. The restaurant is a bit beat up around the edges. Chips and marks could be seen off the decor, a dark and old industrial carpet and tables that has seen better days. The server, however, was lovely and brought us our drinks and some papadums. She explained the dips that came with and I was excited. The papadums, however, were quite bland and not special at all. The. Our main courses arrived. The Butter Chicken was, for some reason, mostly shredded chicken and completely bland. I ordered medium spicy but this was without any notable flavors. We also had a lamb kebab. The sausages that came with were hard and tough and the flavor disappointing. We also had some garlic naan which was the highlight of the meal but only "ok". Overall I was quite disappointed and will not return. read more

Very quaint family experience. The food and family interaction was out of this world. Definitely earned my loyalty.

The food is outstanding. I either order lamb or chicken options. The meat is to die for tender. Recently, I had family visiting so put in an order for take out. Indian take out is a standard go-to for these occasions in England. The web site was easy to navigate, and the order was right on time. We picked up rather than have it delivered. Only thing I'd say is if you have a big order, ask one of the wonderful staff members to help you carry it down the steep steps. read more
