    Vegetarian appetizer sampler

    After seeing all the positive reviews, I was confident to try this place out as we recently moved and don't know any Indian spots in the area. However, I was seriously disappointed by the experience. 1. This is a takeout only restaurant. This is not stated anywhere online but is immediately apparent when you order through a door. 2. The food was just not good. I'm originally from central NJ and we have plenty of Indian joints. I've tried similar dishes at a variety of them and have never had such a negative experience. We got the chicken tikka masala, naan, veggie appetizer sampler, and a mango lassi. The chicken tikka masala was prepared almost like a Thai curry and the chicken had a rubbery texture. The vegetarian appetizer sampler is literally just a bunch of battered, deep fried foods, none of which stood out. The naan was flavorless and soggy, and the mango lassi tasted like it was from concentrate. Ultimately, we aren't a picky bunch but this was a serious disappointment. Save your money.

    I still can't say enough about Cafe Bombay. The owners are friendly and always improving. I really love everything I have had here. The chicken Tikka masala is wonderful. Spicy yet nuanced flavors. The lamb kadai is great. You don't see traditional kadai on many menus so I highly recommend trying it. They can spice it however you want. I'm OK with spice and 7 is hot for me. My wife doesn't like any spice and she enjoys their level 0. Seriously, she can't stand too much black pepper and she's OK with their level zero. They also make fresh Chai lattes with authentic spices and they're amazing.

    Supporting local business during these times is critical AND is DELISH!! Takeout with a hopeful smile.

    I am a Bristol fan. When I see something worth applauding on Mill Street I want a review with a marching band. So, when Café Bombay came to my attention I had to visit ASAP. Last night was the night. I drove down with two mystery munchers and entered just after 7 per our reservation. We were the only patrons, which was a bit disconcerting, but we grabbed the table in front to have the best view of the world going by, and be farthest from the kitchen. The turmeric in the air was so palpable that we all were sneezing within minutes. At least we knew the Masala Sauce would be dynamic. For apps, we order 1.5 orders of Veggie Samosa. We were pleased that half orders (1 samosa) were viable, as we only were three, and wanted to save space for later. The Sams were excellent with soft potato and hard peas. NIce. Our entrees consisted of Kerala Chicken Curry, traditional dish; Chicken Xacutti, Roasted Coconut was the most noticeable spice; and Navarathan Korma, veggies, cheese, nuts & herbs. All the gravies were creamy and packed a punch. Given that we had to find a common denominator of heat, the range chosen was between 6 and 8, and all tasted, "just right." Additionally, we had Bombay Naan, a sweet version of the classic Indian Oven baked bread, with Almonds, Raisins, Ginger and Coconut; a perfect balance to the spicy heat coming from the main courses. All these were first class. The Mango Lassi while good, was undersized for the price of $3.50. We were suggested to try a slice of Coconut Ice Cream Pie for dessert. A first for me, it was pleasing like a cold Key Lime Pie, but a questionable purchase at $4.99. Café Bombay is definitely worth another visit as the menu hides other treasures. Still, in an attempt to learn the lesson here, I would skip the lassi and dessert, and stay with the variety of main courses and regional specialties listed on the menu. One other oddity is that the online website menu does not list prices to permit changing market conditions. That is a situation that should be easily remedied with a host changing the prices as necessary.

We visited as a group of six and sampled a wide variety of dishes--and every single one was a hit. From the Manchow soup and Dahi Puri to the KGF sandwich, Pav Bhaji, sizzler, Hara Bhara Kebab, Chilli Naan, and Paneer Butter Masala, each dish was exceptional. We wrapped up the meal with the Kesar Pista Falooda, which was the perfect ending. We left with full stomachs and even fuller hearts. The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, taking the time to recommend dishes that perfectly matched our taste preferences. Ambiance is very vibrant as well. Truly a must-visit restaurant!

This restais in a plaza filled with Indian restaurants and stores, gives you a feeling of oak tree rd or Jackson heights in a strip mall. After we got here, we realized that this was a vegetarian restaurant and instead of walking to the restaurant next door, we stuck to our original choice and we're not disappointed. The restaurant is a self order restaurant thats was fairly new. The restaurant was full but not crowded. The service was good and they can make food based on your level of spice tolerance. There was a dish that I hadn't tried before, bd the person at the counter gave me a very well detailed explanation that made my decisioning a Lil easier. The food was great. I enjoyed the chat, nothing extraordinary, unless you are eating it for the 2nd or 3rd time. Overall a good experience, don't forget to try Thums up!! You will never go back to Pepsi or coke again.

I didn't know about this place until my buddy was grabbing food from here and told me this cook was previously at a Restaurant called Zaika in the NE on Grant Ave. His favorite dish is the Chicken 65 - Deep-fried marinated chicken, sautéed with bell peppers, onions, curry leaves, and mustard seeds. The inside has a buffet set up and over a dozen booth/quad tables for dining in. They had a TV playing Indian pop music and a lot of pictures on the walls. I picked up take out for both orders - My family and I had several different menu items and all of them fell in the good to great window. Chicken Kebabs were a little light on spice and size as compared to some other places I frequent. They were good and fresh though. Chicken Tikka dry - tender, juicy, fresh and delicious. Can't go wrong with this one! Chana Masala - chick peas in curry sauce - the wife has enjoyed this dish twice so far. Gave it a thumbs up. Vegetable Samosa - pastry filled with seasoned potatoes and green peas, deep-fried to a crispy golden finish. Not total grease bombs and pretty spicy. Too much for the wife, but I thought they were average good samosas. Not a bad thing. Chicken Makhani aka Butter Chicken - Cooked in a Buttery Cream sauce - I thought it was a tad too creamy/buttery, but the sauce mixed in well with the basmati rice from my biryani. Chicken biryani - Basmati rice cooked with marinated chicken, onions, cashew nuts, raisins, and a blend of Indian spices, flavored with saffron. You can get it with bone in chicken or boneless. The rice was seasoned really well. You get a lot in one order. Can easily feed three people. Plain naan - delicious and fresh. Overall, we are more than happy to continue to order our go-to's from here. The woman who took my order and met me at the counter was very nice. Keep in mind if your ordering give yourself some extra time. I had a typical 40-45 minute wait for a 4-5 dish order. I thought the prices were fair. Thanks guys, see you again soon!

We also ordered two chais. Fresh, yummy, hot and soothing. I look forward to coming back.
