    It was the first time my friend and I came to this wonderful family Indian restaurant. It felt cozy, warm and the staff were welcoming! Everything my friend and I had was delicious: Samosa chat Saag paneer- we asked for it spicy. Goan chicken vindaloo Anddd we tried the cheese naan and garlic chili naan. Loved dipping it in the sauces! They have an extensive menu, and I would love to come back and try more!! This will definitely be a favorite spot whenever I come to Cambridge!

    Okay, guys. Indian was not on the top of my list of options to eat at on the cozy downtown of Cambridge but when looking for options, the pics drew me in...and also I love butter chicken We were there a cold night in February. There is no parking lot for the establishment that we could see but there is plenty of parking and lots throughout the main strip. We walked in and it is a small restaurant but very comfy cozy. One of the things that drew us to the place was their extensive cocktail menu but guess what? There was no bartender there that night but our server did know how to make an old fashioned. I love those so points! Guess what? It was soooooo delicious! If there's only one drink you know how to make, bravo! We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and chicken tandoori. For sides we ordered sauces as well as cheese, garlic and onion naan. Okay...everything was absolutely delicious. Not too much and not too little. Very well flavored. We were still talking about it yesterday, 3 days later saying that it was the best meal we had the whole weekend. If you're in the area, this place is it. Go, eat and be merry and fingers crossed there is a bartender when you're there because other than that, the experience was great!

    Wonderful food, gracious service. Family owned - food that comes from the heart and makes you feel like you are sitting at their dining room table. Large dining room with huge tall ceiling. Very open space.

    I came to this location today and the location has been moved now. This new location is spacious and they have indoor seating along with high tables. They do enforce social distancing and provide sanitizer at the front door. I ordered 3 orders of samosa and a spicy shrimp The samosa was fried well and was tasty. It comes with two different sauces. One I think is sweet the other is something like a pepper sauce. The shrimp comes with rice on the side, inside however comes with peppers and onions it's hot I mean it has good heat but yes it's spicy I like it. The garlic nann so good nice size def coming back. I called my order in and was told 20 min. When I went in I waited an additional 10 which was fine with me I mean I know the food is good so i can wait. I asked a young man at the front about drink options I was told they do not offer alcohol I did follow with letting him know I don't drink alcohol but yes I then followed up with what kind of juices do you have then I got 2 sweet teas. I've met the owner from my last visit so for this and because I know how kind she is I will return. Best of luck

    Food that warms your soul. Dining at Bombay Social was such a phenomenal experience!! I'm not an Indian food connoisseur, but I felt like I was having a home cooked meal. Everything we had was simply amazing. We ordered the cheese naan, chicken biryani, fish molee, and shahi korma chicken (my personal favorite!). We were here for a conference so it was quite busy for a Tuesday night. Before we sat down we were told it would be a bit of a wait for the food. If you're in town for a large conference just be aware! I promise the food is 1000% worth the wait.

    Such a great view while sitting at the bar

    Cambridge finally has a gem, hidden but a gem nonetheless. I was worried initially that this gem wouldn't receive the attention the support it deserves due to its location but I was pleasantly surprised by the number of calls they were receiving g for take out orders while I was there. This made me happy and I already know this will be my go to every other week when I am traveling 50 West. I ordered a lamb dish that was full of flavor and the tender pieces of meat melted in your mouth no knife needed. The ambiance is so cute and I love how the kitchen is exposed so you can see the chefs passionately at work. Also, the bar will be my go to the drinks are created with care and attentiveness with an Indian flare that I enjoyed. I had only one drink and was surely feeling it. Such a gem wonder if it's affiliated with the other Bombay located in Easton????

    This is the best India food we ever have in the states. The lamb koma is heaven! And our kids love the chicken tender!

    5 STAR REVIEW We…read morehave been coming here weekly for quite some time, and it has truly become one of our favorite places to dine. The food is consistently exceptional, the staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and the ambiance is beautiful and inviting. What sets this restaurant apart, though, is the feeling you get every time you walk through the door. We are always greeted with genuine warmth and treated like family. The consistency, hospitality, and attention to detail are unmatched. It's rare to find a place that delivers outstanding food while also creating such a personal and welcoming experience. We look forward to our visits every week and feel incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful restaurant in our lives. Absolutely deserving of five stars--we cannot recommend it highly enough!

    I ordered take-out, and picked it up myself. The service at the front was fine, a good start to…read morewhat I hoped would be a good meal. However, my chicken tikka masala was awful. It had a really thin sauce and it was very light in color. Turns out that's because there was no spice! It was just tomato and sugar flavor. The chicken pieces were dry, and even the naan was bland. I guess it could be your kind of thing if you like sweet vodka sauce, but I was hoping for a curry! I tried adding cayenne and salt, but it couldn't cover the sugar flavor. I still had to throw away most of it. It's my third time trying Basmati, and I'm just going to have to drive further if I want indian food from now on.
