    The dine-in menu at Bombay Nights
    Kevin W.

    I'm here traveling solo, although I lived here a long while back. I've answered the calling for crab cakes (twice), and Indian cuisine is always a good choice. I searched a bit and thought this place was my best option. I was met at the front door and taken to a seat of my preference. They quickly Brought me papadum that were crispy and not oily. With a side of chutneys that were obviously made in house. I ordered - vegetable pakora - saag paneer - chicken korma - garlic naan - and a side of raita The pakora came out first, hot and crispy. They were super flavorful and the vegetables starred as the highlight of the dish. Ok, I'll speed this up for us: the naan was toasty on the outside and warm and light inside. The korma was filled with large chunks of chicken in an airy cashew sauce. The saag was a deep rich green and yet still quite creamy. And the paneer was that perfect texture that I've never been able to replicate at home. The raita was thick and creamy and a tiny bit sweet, the perfect counterbalance to the heat of the entrées. I love Indian food. I've enjoyed it from London to LA. Not every restaurant I've been to is a gem, but Bombay Nights definitely is. The staff is endearingly friendly, the food was meticulously prepared and garnished... and it was delicious. If you're ever near this place and craving Indian, please check it out. (There physical menu is awesome by the way) If you live near here, also check it out, then you'll see why I'd make it a regular spot. - remind me another day to tell the story of 2 kind gentleman at a restaurant who introduced me to Taj Mahal b

    Bombay nights is a quaint Indian spot in Whitemarsh. It was date night and babe loves Indian. It touts an almost five star rating so I made it our first stop. Of course we got some of those crunchy chips with the sweet and spicy dip sauce. It was pretty standard and the chips don't actually have a taste. I didn't love the vegetable samosas but the aloo tikka was amazing. I do wish it had a dipping sauce although they are good without it. I got the chicken tikka masala and it was delicious. I could not stop eating. I ate myself into a tizzy. It was really good. The ambience could use a little work but the food itself is 5 stars. The next time we order Indian food, it will be from Bombay nights.

    Sweet Annapurna this is some incredible food. My boyfriend and I had our first date over Indian food, which was also our first time having Indian food. Our relationship has been full of exploration and a million firsts. We like to explore. We travel. We walk around our own neighborhood and city and have random adventures. And we eat. Of all the new cuisines we have tried in our ten years together, I am most pleased that we were both willing to meet a stranger, for a strange meal that fateful evening. And while that date did not take place at Bombay Nights, we discovered Bombay Nights because we took that first step. This past weekend, we were hanging out with friends and one said that they didn't really like Indian food; that it all tasted muddy. My boyfriend and I were aghast, but also sympathetic. We remember how difficult it was to find decent Indian food when we were living together in Towson. We remember ordering delivery, ordering at least three different entrees, and how they all looked and tasted exactly the same - none of it good. I think, when it's time and our friends are feeling brave, Bombay Nights is going to be the place where we take them because WOW, everything that we have ever ordered there has been mind-blowing, including last night's take away.... except that one time when my boyfriend elected spice level five- Indian spice level - and it was SOOOOO spicy that I swear steam must have come out of his ears. Yesterday we had an all chicken extravaganza in the comfort of our own home. - Chicken Choilla as an appetizer. This was a shot in the dark that met a bullseye. It's chicken pieces in a spice rub with some sort of fresh herb. It is delicious, but we had plenty left over because the rest of our meal was hogging the spotlight. - Mango Chicken (White meat chicken cooked with fresh mango, onion, tomato curry, and mustard seeds). This was the first time I have had mango chicken, even though I have seen it on different menus. I love mango, but I thought it might make the dish too sweet. It doesn't. I don't know if they have a magician in the kitchen at Bombay Nights, or what, but the dish was beautifully balanced, with just enough spice to make me come back for more, and more. - Butter Chicken (Tandoori boneless thigh meat chicken delicately spiced with Indian herbs, then cooked in buttery sauce). A classic, and my boyfriend's regular go-to. It's like ordering General Tso's from a Chinese restaurant, or Drunken Noodles from a Thai place. You know it's kinda basic, but it's so good that you can't not get it. If you're looking to introduce a friend to Indian food, recommend the butter chicken. You usually can't go wrong. Bombay Night's butter chicken is on a whole different level. This is absolutely the best I have ever tasted - it's so remarkably creamy. Dip a spoon into the sauce and lick it. That's all that it's gonna take. - Tandoori Chicken (Chicken marinated in yogurt with mild spices, roasted in Tandoori clay oven). Ever wanted to eat like a half chicken all by yourself? Once you taste this, you will not stop. The chicken is so tender and wonderfully spiced. There's no sauce here, and throw-away veg, and it's way more money than getting a bucket of chicken and a couple sides. If you're squeamish about spending money on good food, you probably shouldn't even being considering this place. BUT if you're willing to spend a bit of money for a culinary journey, this is a sure fire winner. One of these days we're going to dine in. I've read there's a belly dancer. That's something I haven't seen before. But either way, I'm coming back for this food. WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND

    Spices are good, and even the medium has a good amount of heat. If you're not good with spicy food, get the mild. The mango lassi was loved by my guests. It's not my fav, but I don't like creamy drinks that much anyway. Service was fast, we were seated immediately in a booth.

The ambience is nice and it's a very friendly environment but the problem I have is it's too expensive and not satisfying enough. When A restaurant limits a feature that they used to have every day and then informs me to either go on their website or that they will notify people on a mailing when there is a Buffet event, i'd rather just go to another restaurant that still offers this. Bombay nights had the balls to raise their price to $20.13. Yeah, I could go to Café spice over in a richer part of town named Cockeysville where everybody drives like arrogant kids, get the same, if not better quality than all three of the Indian restaurants closer to me for under $15. Food used to be great, but there have been some days where the chicken was not up to par and I would much rather feel less burned, knowing I got a Buffet with other options. They used the pandemic as a BS excuse to get rid of it and they haven't brought it back the way they should have. I don't want to guess what day the staff chooses to bring back the buffet they should've never gotten rid of. I don't care that much to dedicate to a mailing list or check a website. Advertise it at your damn restaurant, and make it more than just one Saturday or random day. You chose in a month where the demand is going to be stupid high, and I have to fight for food between all the clumpy families that come out from under the rock whenever it's available.

The Mint Room in Bel Air is an absolute gem and easily home to one of the best Indian lunch buffets in Maryland. I have also been to their Hunt Valley location and both consistently deliver an outstanding experience. I visited on a Saturday afternoon for their lunch buffet which runs from 11am to 3pm and left beyond satisfied. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and conveniently located in a shopping plaza, making it easy to access with plenty of parking. Even though the buffet was decently packed when we arrived around noon, we were seated immediately. The buffet spread is impressively expansive, with 15 plus dishes available at any given time. Everything is refreshed frequently, so the food is always hot and inviting. It is the kind of buffet where you can actually sample everything in one visit without feeling rushed or disappointed by empty trays. Highlights for me included the fish curry, goat curry, biryani chicken, and the tikka style mushrooms, which were addictive. The spice level across the board leans mild to medium, making it approachable for all palates and appropriate for all ages, while still delivering plenty of flavor. It strikes a perfect balance between authenticity and accessibility. Service was also excellent. Each table is greeted with a carafe of mint infused water, which is a thoughtful and refreshing touch that sets the tone right away. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal.
