    Start off with free appetizer
    Michelle T.

    Wow what a surprise, what attracted us to this place was BYOB and now to find that their food is so authentic and delicious, we will certainly be back for more! They have a pre-fix dinner menu ranging from $15.95-$18.95 depending on if you choose seafood, meat, or vegetable. We ordered the saag paneer pre fix and paired it with 1 samosa, 1 coconut soup, an order of bread nan, and finished off with mango rice pudding. We also ordered a stuffed naan, and chicken korma. Everything was delicious and it was certainly a lot of food, in fact, too much for two people who can really eat. My favorite was the chicken korma while my boyfriend kept praising and love the saag paneer (best part was that he doesn't like vegetable but he fell in love with it). Definitely recommend this place with the added bonus of BYOB . Owner is extremely friendly.

    This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Brooklyn! The food, service, and ambiance's were top tier. I truly enjoyed the naan and the chicken dip! The owner is so sweet and kind. He made me and my friend feel at home and comfortable! Please support his business !! (Our bill was only $29 very affordable!)

    Decent but not great Indian food. Might be worth another half star in terms of quality and value but the delivery exceeded the quoted time by almost 30 minutes so I'm justified in rounding down. My boyfriend and I ordered a bunch of goodies - I had the dinner chicken special, which came with naan, soup, an appetizer (I chose a samosa) and some raitas for about $19. He got the chicken tikka ($14) and we got some papadam as well ($3). Of my food, the samosa and the soup - I picked mulligatawny although there were several options - were great. The naan and my entree (I picked butter chicken) were good. I've definitely had much better butter chicken, but it was okay. The real disappointment was the chicken tikka, which wasn't a huge portion, but was left almost entirely untouched because it was so incredibly dry. My boyfriend is a little bit of a picky eater but I can agree with him here - the chicken was not good. Value was decent, especially when you factor in the $5 off on Seamless your first time ordering. However, with a range of Indian options in the neighborhood we won't order again. The fact that it took an hour and a half for our food to come was just the nail in the coffin.

    "Aloo paratha"? aka Sad Empanada, aka Limp Samosa, aka Samponada? Empamosa? It's not a paratha. At all.
    Ashley H.

    Before you read any further, entertain me for a sec: go to google and type in "aloo paratha". Then click "images". You see a sea of flatbreads, right? Ok cool. Now see the attached image (the one that looks like a droopy empanada). Let's all take a moment and acknowledge that these two items are NOT the same thing. Aloo paratha--the tasty flatbread hailing from the Punjab, expertly rolled out with a thin layer of spiced potato filling--is one of my favorite foods. Any paratha, really. Add achar & dahi and I'm in heaven. Best breakfast food around. I ordered aloo paratha today and got that really sad empanada/samosa hybrid instead. Mistakes happen, right? Apparently not. After waiting well beyond the quoted delivery time (only to have the driver attempt delivery 2mi away and say he's here) and finally opening our bag of late dinner, I discover this monstrosity and call the restaurant. It's not what I ordered and I'd appreciate not being charged for it. Instead of any kind of apology, or even a refusal to refund me for that item (both would have been acceptable, after all it's a $4 piece of bread--supposed to be, anyway), the guy on the other end of the line doubles down and insists that aloo paratha is deep fried--and I've got it all wrong. What this guy didn't know is that the person who placed this order has studied extensively, cooked and taught cooking professionally...on Indian vegetarian food, specifically. I know what a paratha is, its seasonal and regional variations, cooking styles, the works. That this guy would lie thru his teeth because he assumed ignorance on my part is why we're here now. Play like your customers are dumb = you get salty reviews. ‍ To boot, the food (empanosa?samponada? aside) was edible, but below average on all accounts. The chicken somehow managed to be bone dry despite its sauce, the curry veg were boiled to hell and back & under seasoned, and the gobi manchurian was hard and stale (how is that even possible?) as though it had been pre-fried and sitting out all day (perhaps it's possible). If you want good Indian food, you may want to look elsewhere. Not sure where, but not here. *IF you know where to find REALLY good Indian food outside of Jersey (ideally in BK), please DM me. I'm still looking for a solid fix nearby. Bonus points if it's authentic Andhra cuisine b.*

    Mango lassi- meh
    Ada W.

    Came by for dinner and it's decent food. Food was decently enjoyable. Place is somewhat small with only 2 sets of 4 seater tables and 3 sets of 2 seater tables. They can probably rearrange their tables for slightly bigger parties. They take credit cards including AMERICAN EXPRESS. The only thing which somewhat nagged me a bit was that the waiter felt like a seller. I came with my fiance, and I already ordered an appetizer and 2 entrees. But then he asked if we wanted Naan, so I decided to order one since he asked. He tried to push us to order 2 orders of Naan, but I told him 1 was enough (which was enough). Then, he insisted on the kebabs... And I decided against it cuz we already ordered enough food for 2 people. Then he kinda insisted on drinks, so I went with the mango Lassi. He didn't force us to order anything, but it was a bit annoying. I didn't realize this place was called "Bombay kebabs", so I guess that may be why the waiter asked if we wanted kebabs even though we ordered 2 entrees. GOBI MANCHURIAN- it was enjoyable. Came with 5 bite sized chunks of fried cauliflower. Flavorful, crispy outside. Texture was kind of like dried fried chicken pieces, which is pretty good..(Being able to make vegetables taste like chicken meat) Garlic Naan- good! Bread was nice and warm. Lotssss of garlic which is great. I can actually taste the garlic with every bite. Comes with 4 decently sized pieces. Definitely enough carb for 2 people especially since our entrees also came with rice so you don't need to eat that much bread. GOAN SHRIMP- Creamy and somewhat sweet sauce. It was decent compared to other GOAN shrimps I've had in the U.S. I tried goan shrimp when I was in India, and this was not comparable to what I had back in India, but it's decent. I kinda wished it was a tad bit spicier. I think my fiance ordered the Chicken vindaloo with potatoes-it was decent/ pretty good. Good amount of spiciness. Potatoes were good. The bismati rice they served was nice and aromatic. Dinner was filling. We were able to finish everything we ordered and I was really full. I'm glad I didn't order extra kebabs/food cuz I wouldn't have been able to finish it. Mango Lassi was kinda disappointing. Texture was somewhat watered down, not as thick as I would've liked. Very sweet. Overall, taste is decent for Indian food. Not better than other Indian restaurants and not worse. Maybe their kebabs will change my mind but until then, I rate this 3 stars.

    Thanks for giving me a table with a stain on the just-used placemat.

    The food was decent, I would eat it again. And that's about the end of the good points here, unfortunately. My dad and I went here tonight to grab a bite. It's a very small restaurant but it was completely empty. They were doing a looooot of takeout, and that's probably where most of their reviews come from (something I need to pay more attention to when pondering a restaurant to sit down in). Anyway, all but one of the tables was taken by leftovers from previous guests or by things like extra silverware. When we walked in and said we wanted a table, the man behind the counter gestured to the table closest to the kitchen rather than the one that was actually clean. I didn't mind that because it was farther from the door/cold draft. Because I work in restaurants, I didn't want to sit right down at the dirty table he suggested, so that he could have time to clean it without us being in the way. But instead of fully cleaning it, he removed the jacket from one of the chairs (his, I think), removed the dirty plate, threw two side plates down, and then for some reason, literally dropped one fork, one knife, and one spoon in the middle. I do mean dropped. Haphazardly dropped them. And just one set? Then he motioned for us to sit. The tables have these paper cloths on top of the fabric tablecloth, to protect them from stains I'm sure. But he didn't change the paper cloth before serving us. Even though it had a big yellow spot of food on it. It stayed there for our whole stay. He took our order just fine. But when the samosas my dad ordered came out, he asked the waiter for sauce. The waiter LITERALLY took the plate with the tiny little ramekins of sauce from one of the dirty tables from previous customers and put it on our table. I'm still rather horrified by that. When the rest of the food came I did have to ask him for those utensils I never got. And there were a couple of other small annoyances (like my father asking for ice for his water and the waiter putting ice in mine too automatically, which I don't really care for.) I don't know if the treatment was because we were black or because he had a long day or because he was overwhelmed with takeout orders perhaps but it was so underwhelming and frightful. I usually tip on top of whatever my dad does because I know what waiting tables is like and I don't think he tips high enough but I didn't feel the urge to this time. There was a white guy who came in to place an order and the guy behind the counter was nearly genuflecting when helping him out. And as I overheard, it was the guy's first visit. So I'm not sure why he got the jovial greeting and we got a big yellow stain and half the silverware needed, but whatever.

    two bowls of indian food

    Got delivery from them. Pretty good Indian food. Because I'm a giant fat ass, I ordered all this for myself: lamb rogan josh, vegetable vindaloo, chicken jalfrezi, and a chicken samosa. It was all very good, with the lamb being my favorite. Portion sizes for the lunch specials are smaller, but still way more than substantial!

    Chicken Tika Masala
    Jonathan I.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Bombay Kebab tonight. Decided to stop in after an appointment in the area. This place is VERY small, so don't plan on going here with a large crowd. The menu has lots of good Indian staples, and the prices are pretty average. The food is absolutely delicious! My wife got the prix fix meal which is about 15 and come with food an appetizer a bread a soup and a desert. I got the tandoori chicken Kebobs. Spot on on both counts. I really enjoyed the sweetness of the Tika Masala sauce. Naan bread was spot on too. The service was adequate if a little on the slow side, but I thought it was really worth the wait, and we were in no rush. The bathroom: There is one! It may not seem like it, but the bathroom is behind the counter in the back and it's clean but very tiny.

    Wow this is a legendary Afghan restaurant located in Kensington Brooklyn and from the mante, to the…read morechicken kebab plate I can't tell you what's not amazing about this place. Good restaurant to come in with the family but also great for take out, and the quality and consistency is always top notch. The mante is seasoned so well and it's always fresh to order and one of my favorite dishes of all time. The food is very palatable as it's not spicy and you get a great value for your money. It's also halal and a great option in the area or if you're looking to explore and try some classic afghan food!

    I had been to this Afghan restaurant once a good while ago, having gone there as part of a Yelp…read moreevent where I loved the food. More recently, I hosted a meal here with a bunch of others, and there were enough glaring issues that I can't recommend this place anymore, regardless of the excellent quality. The place is casual, and the staff had to be asked for silverware, extra cups for water, spoons for serving, and other items. To drink, someone had a $5 Doogh, and I ordered one too, but it never arrived, though at least it wasn't on the bill. They gave us a simple salad to munch on prior to the meal, which worked well with the yogurt dressing on the table. The bread on everyone else's table was missing from ours, which turned out to be the first difference in our meal compared to most other tables. For appetizers, we got a couple that were both $8 and had the same type of sauce. My preference of the two was the Mantu, or steamed dumplings stuffed with ground beef. The dish came with six large dumplings that were plump, with a nice thin dumpling skin. There was also the Aushak, filled with leeks and scallions. In comparison, they were smaller and a bit thicker, with a more refreshing filling. The sauces on both dishes consisted of a mix of garlic mint yogurt and a lamb/tomato-based sauce, and they went well, adding some tang. Of the mains, my preference was the $15 Chapli Kabob, or sizzling pan-fried ground beef patties mixed with fresh vegetables. In comparison to the Pakistani version, they were more delicately spiced, but I didn't mind, as there still was a little pleasant kick. The meat, otherwise, was very tender, with the three patties easily broken apart with a spoon for sharing. The group favorite was surprisingly the Spicy Chicken Kabob, consisting of boneless chicken breast marinated with a blend of Afghan spices for $17. The chicken was very tender and juicy, with a mild kick. I found it better than the $18 Lamb Tikka Kabob, with the meat in the latter being tasty but a bit dry/overcooked. There was also the tasty $15 Borani Banjan, or fried eggplant seasoned with spices and topped with garlic mint yogurt. This is available as an appetizer, but we got it as a main. The eggplant had a light crisp and a similarly tasty sauce, similar to the appetizers, which made sense in retrospect. The most well-known dish here is the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao for $23, or braised lamb shank served over a bed of rice and garnished with sweet raisins and carrots. The lamb fell off the bone and was wonderful overall, and I can see why this is the most popular option here. I would comment on the Qabuli Pulao, but they gave us standard brown rice. They eventually gave us a separate dish of raisins and carrots, but this was annoying at best, as a few other dishes were coming out with said mixture on other tables, and I doubt they had all ordered it prior. For dessert, we got a single order of Firnee for $6, a housemade custard made with sweet milk, cinnamon, rosewater, and cardamom, garnished with minced pistachios. The custard was light with a mild sweetness. Otherwise, there was a pleasant floral flavor. We had a $5 pot of green tea with that dessert, which had some cardamom and I think maybe a little bit of cinnamon as well, and it went well. Overall, it was good, though a few of us got dessert afterwards at the excellent Pakistani shop Narala nearby. If the food wasn't so good, I'd be docking this spot another point or two, as this was the first time in a very long time that it felt like we were getting a different experience, in terms of bread and especially the rice, for some rather obvious/unfortunate reasons. The fact that they charged us for this rice multiple times without giving us said pulao irks me as well, even if it's only $3 per dish. To be honest, I would prefer to go back to a pricier spot in Manhattan, such as Afghan Kabob House or Ariana, where the service is nicer and we get the same experience.

I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.
