Picture this...heavy thunderstorms...rain is so heavy it literally feels like cats and dogs are hitting your roof. That is what happened today. It is the type of day that makes you want to eat comfort food. Bombay to Kathmandu was the ideal place for some lentil soup and naan. My soup was steaming hot and my naan quite tasty. Walking into Bombay to Kathmandu feels like being transported around the world. The beaded curtains, tin doors and other Indian Nepali artifacts made the place appear authentic. I placed my order with the cashier, who was warm and welcoming. The menu is remarkably diverse, offering classic Indian favorites alongside traditional Nepali dishes, which makes it stand out. The restaurant is known for its momos, curry dishes and aromatic sauces. Importantly, there are plenty of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Their creative fusion items, including curry inspired pizzas are their specialties. My soup was quite generous and filling. Prices are reasonable, and the food consistently delivers big on taste. The staff was friendly and willing to help with spice levels and menu recommendations. read more

This place is close to my home, so we often order food from here. The only item I really enjoy is the chili momo. We once ordered samosas for catering, but they were disappointing. The filling was overly oily, and the taste wasn't great. read more

Great food, quick and kind service, great music videos playing thoughtful songs that told compelling stories even though I don't understand the language!! 12/10, will come again! read more

I can not recommend this place enough. The hospitality and food was amazing. We asked for recommendations and they didn't steer us wrong. The potatoes were sooooo tasty with loads of flavor. Then me and my husband fought back in forth over curry envy lol. The house curry was delectable and my husband has the pallet of a toddler lol. The butter chicken and garlic naan. You can't imagine how good it smelled and tasted. I'm so excited to come back next time we're in Austin. Great ambiance, great people and great food! read more

I was craving an indian pizza as one does and I'm so glad I found this place. I got the chicken indian pizza with two samosas and they were both heavenly. Nothing compares to the indian spices on a pizza. It wasn't anything super lifechanging but it was comforting and hit the spot which is all I need. The samosas were also great. They seasoned the outer crust which added so much flavor. Would come back again. read more

Do not judge by the outside appearance. Remember Dorothy waking up in Oz? Everything is beautiful: white tablecloths, polished floors, pages of descriptive menu items, generous portions and attentive (but not smothering) service. The garlic naan is perfectly textured, the basmati rice fluffy and delicious, the sauces perfect. Now open for continuous service (closed on Wednesdays). As my Houston friend always said, "I don't need to get drunk to enjoy your company." Even the to-go containers are reusable and let me keep everything separated as I prefer. Win-win-win! read more

Bombay To Kathmandu - False advertising - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Met a friend here for an early dinner and I was pleasantly surprised by all the delicious things I ate! We shared veggie samosas, chicken biryani and Chicken Jhol Momo. The samosas were perfectly crispy on the outside and the filling was well seasoned. The accompanying sauces were a highlight! I thought the biryani was good but I really enjoyed the momo. It was new dish for me and I love a good dumpling and these were good. The chicken filling was flavorful as well as the korma-type sauce it was in. We were there until 7 p.m. and it was empty in the restaurant on a Thursday. But there were a few people picking up to-go here and there. I will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding food: 5 stars+!!!This restaurant is located where Taj Palace used to be. Everything we ordered was excellent. There was no buffet; but, what we paid for two people getting everything we wanted, was less than what we would have paid for two buffets. The shareable portions are substantial. Folks like to think of buffets as lots of "free food"; but, buffets can result in so much wasted food. We need to be more conscious of food waste--especially nowadays. We went early. There was no one there; there were some pickups of to go orders. Please try this great restaurant: no buffet; but, excellent, excellent food cooked fresh with lovely presentation. I'm sure you will find it more budget friendly than you imagined. The ambience is very nice, the service was outstanding! Dipesh was our server. He gave us the best service--beyond our expectations. He was very attentive and personable. This would be a great date night place or a place for a group meal or a good celebration spot. I highly recommend it. read more

Wow. Best Indian food in Austin. I can say that living in England spoiled me...all the Indian food in Austin is just average--but here we had great, full flavor in our curries (butter chicken and spinach something w cheese) with garlic naan and the ambiance / vibe was really on point too, music and all. We tried a rice pudding for dessert which really ended things nicely. Service was stellar and so friendly. We'll be back again and again. read more

They just started having lunch buffet this month per their door sign so I had to try it and it did not disappoint! The buffet food was fresh, warm, authentic and had a lovely assortments of veggie, chicken, rice dishes. There were 2 types of naan to choose from. 3 different sauces, and 2 dessert choices. Lentil soup was also available. Spice level was mostly mild. I believe I only had 2 dishes slightly medium spice level. The buffet had a lot to choose from...I think I counted 13 food options. Anyways, I'm so glad to see lunch buffet back at this establishment as I haven't had any since the prior place closed a few years ago. So so good! read more

Good lunch buffet! All lamb dishes were very tender, and they have a lamb kebab which is their take on lamb meatballs. Chicken could've been more tender - so I actually preferred the paneer tikka masala over the chicken. You must end your meal with a cup of their masala chai! The ambience is quite nice and quaint, and the people working there were polite and attentive. read more

Very cute little restaurant with amazing Indian food. Service was quick and so polite. I took a friend here because she needed pescatarian options and loves spicy food. When I say I could eat the chicken coco korma every day of my life, I mean it! My only regret is not snapping a photo before I decided to dig in. I will be back, they have curry pizza (so curious) and a lunch buffet. read more

Pretty impressed by the Menu we decided to try this place for lunch. It's an Indian-Nepali place with a Bar and servers Pizza as well. They offered variety of items - Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Tandoori Clay Oven Specials, Chicken, Lamb, Goat, Vegetarian, Biryani and Seafood Specialties, Vegan options, Indian breads, Nepali House Specialties and many more. Great ambiance about this place. Well decorated, amplifying the Indian-Nepali culture through their interior design. Well thought and nicely done. We decided to try out the Nepali Non-Veg Thalis - one with Goat and other with Chicken. Thali came with basmati rice, naan, dal tadka, nepali achar and mango chutney. Loved the food. The food was spicy and delicious. The Naan that served with the Thali was very soft, a perfect combination with the Goat/Chicken curry. Their menu is really promising. Thali gave us a glimpse of what they can offer. Service was really great. Staffs were so friendly and always around to help us. Enjoyed their hospitality and food. A recommended place! read more

I've ordered here to-go a couple of times and both have been great! On first impression, I wouldn't think a indian restaurant/bar/pizza combination would provide solid food (usually you gotta focus on one thing you're good at), but I was totally wrong with this one. I didn't get any pictures, but I've ordered the salmon tikka, palak paneer, vegetable biryani, and even tried their saag paneer pizza. No complaints, everything was delicious. I especially liked their salmon tikka masala. Oftentimes salmon in this format ends up dry and overcooked, but I found the salmon to be still very juicy, but cooked all the way through. This might just be my new favorite Indian spot (at least for takeout)! read more

Service was very good. Food was average. Ambiance was okay...a bit run down. Would suggest takeout.

As much as I want to rave about this place, it just didn't quite do it for me. First off, service is really, really slow and you need to ask for everything twice. Secondly, even though Nepali food is supposed to be tart, the chicken jhol momo was so tart that I couldn't really enjoy the soup and ate only the momo. My friend said her Vegetarian chow mein was "okay" but the curries and chai were great. We got a bunch of naan but they were also super brown and somewhat crispy, like they had been cooked too long. The food is obviously authentic and I just want to assume they were having a bit of a rough time because it was Christmas Day so I'm giving this 3 stars and will go again on a regular day to see if I have a different experience. read more

Perhaps stick to their pizza or Nepalese menu. I ordered the chicken makhani (butter chicken) and it was just too sweet even with medium spice. Plus the chicken had allot of cartilage in texture so not nice to eat. The garlic nan was way more doughy like a bread roll than unleavened bread which to me was a Debbie downer as I was expecting my nan to be cooked in a tandoor and be flat and kind of crispy due to being cooked in a tandoor. Maybe their customers prefer a doughy nan and sweet curries? I miss Taj Mahal since their nan was not mid. I had leftovers but will probably just trash them. What's weird is the nan in the pictures look very different than what I received to go; maybe the cook is different? I do recall them having better food when they used to be on Lamar. So something has changed. read more

Ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice), Garlic Naan, and Vegetable Samosa. In my picture, there is another later of garlic naan, so you get plenty! The Tikka Masala was SO good and definitely hit the spot because I was craving curry. I got it in Medium spice and it was barely a tingle (which is fine because I was worried it'd be too spicy). I never had samosa before and personally was not a fan. I can see many others liking it but wasn't for me. Food came very quickly and piping hot. I'll have to try the Cheese Naan based on other reviews! read more

The lamb curry is awesome! Great service and very consistent as well. Highly recommend.

OMG! Talk about some AMAZING curry. This is one of the only two Indian restaurants in Austin that I will eat at for one specific reason: there is not one thing that grinds my gears more than a thin, watery masala. I love a thick, rich curry, stuffed to the brim with paneer and vegetables and this place does NOT disappoint. I've gotten takeout several times from Bombay to Kathmandu and it just keeps getting better. Every single thing, from the rice to the lassis to the pakoras are seasoned to perfection. And like I said, the curry is thick and buttery (I usually get the tikka masala). Another great thing - the samosas are HUGE. Literally some of the biggest, most delicious samosas I've ever had. If you're new to Indian food or you're looking for a reliable spot in austin - this IS the place! read more

Ordered delivery via Uber eats. Overall, the food was pretty underwhelming The paneer tikka pizza was very one dimensional (cheese and paneer). Versus the typical bell peppers, onions, etc for a true tikka type taste. It was also missing the promised green onion/ciliantro The chowmein was very unlike your usual street chowmein. It was more like curry noodles (slightly thicker noodles, tossed in some type of a curry sauce, cilantro etc). Food was still edible; just not what you would expect or want from Indo Chinese/Tikka pizza. read more

First time visiting and I had a few questions on the dishes seeing a lack of reviews on items I wanted to eat: -Paneer Pizza: was described as just a cheese pizza with paneer -Saag Paneer: was described as just Saag on the pizza -Gobi Manchurian: waiter was not sure if this was the crispy gobi or not (in his defense, he was new) I ended up ordering the Nepali Veg Thali - Hot and it was great! You get an entire naan, white rice, mango pickle, a small salad (sliced cucumber and carrot), two main curries, and daal. The daal was very tasty and had a kick to it, the other two vegetables were tasty as well. Naan was soft, and the rice, mango pickle, and small salad are on par to what you'd expect. Overall, happy with my decision of entree. read more

I used to order from a different location before the pandemic and really liked it. When I saw this location on Uber Eats, I was happy to try it. I ordered the vegetarian korma + paneer. The sauce was really smooth, seasonings were perfectly balanced and cooked. I also ordered tandoori chicken (with low expectations tbh, I've had a lot of yesterday's reheated chicken from other places before). The chicken was flavorful and really moist. It came with rice and seasoned onions and peppers (not spicy, thankfully for me). The only thing I didn't like was the raita. It was a little sweet (I think carrots were in it?) and it was really watery. I'm looking forward to going to going inside to eat next time! read more

You know when you have a craving for Indian food? You know what you want and hope the local Indian food place has it. This time they did! The Aloo Gobi was great, the Pioneer was not steller.

I don't have to go to do a review! I went to the N Lamar location many times. I was upset when I saw that it was closed but sooo relieved to see it relocated!

I hope all that has changed is the location. read more
