They start you out with a cold ice water. For my first drink, I'm having the Old Fashioned made with Four Roses Bourbon, simple syrup, a dash of bitters (2-3 for me) and garnished with an orange and a Maraschino cherry. This isn't bad. It's balanced pretty well. It could be a bit more chilled. I would recommend stirring it with a bar spoon. For an appetizer, I am trying the Sabjiplatter which is an assortment of vegetable fritters including eggplant (Bhujia's), potato, onion, spinach and cauliflower which come with tamarind and mint sauces. This is good! I love those sauces! For our second appetizer, we are having the Utsav Kebab Platter made with a blend of Tandoori kebabs, chicken tikka, chicken malai, kalmi kebab and shrimp tikka. These are good! Dip them in the sauces. They can be a bit dry. For out next appetizer, we are having the Papadum With Chutney which is toasted lentils crispy and flattened with onion chutney, tamarin and mint sauce. I love that onion chutney! For my soup, I'm having the Thakkali Rasam. This is a spicy South Indian hot and sour thin soup made with garlic, tamarind, herbs and spices. It's hot, spicy, tastes a little oily and has a few dried red pepper flosters. I love it! For my salad, I'm having the Garden Salad made with fresh cut rounds of cucumber, carrots, onions, tomato, and carrot served with Olive oil and Chat Masala. This thing is huge! I love the dressing! For my entree, I'm having the Goat Mamsun Koora which is goat meat n bone cooked on roasted coconut peanut masala with hot chilies, ginger, garlic and curry leaves. This is delicious! It's quite couch too!!For my second drink, I'm having a Proper Manhattan made with High West Double Rye, equal parts sweet and dry vermouth, a dash of bitters and garnished with a cherry. Very good! It's served in a martini glass! This is well balanced and chilled! What a great meal here!

It's a small buffet, but it's honestly the perfect size for what we were looking for. Everything is clearly labeled and it was very clean! They switch out some of the options - the first time we went they had butter chicken, the second time they had chicken tikka masala. Both times they had vegetable biryani, tandoori chicken and a few other staples. Food was so yummy! They have a fridge with drinks (sodas, mango lassi) and they also offer beer and wine. The mango lassis were $5 each and well worth it. I grabbed one to-go! The weekday lunch special is $14.95/person and the weekend lunch special is $17.95/person. Definitely a great deal either way! I want to check out their full menu for dinner because it looks great. Can't wait to be back! Thank you so much for having us!

Bombay Olive Indian Restaurant -- my go-to spot for Indian food!…read more Whenever I'm craving Indian food, Bombay Olive is always my first choice and they never disappoint! I recently brought my family here, and they left as brand-new fans of Indian cuisine. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and witty. They had us laughing all night and were very helpful when recommending dishes for my brother, who has a nut allergy. He tried the Rogan Josh, one of my favorites, and loved its rich spices and deep flavor. We also ordered the garlic naan, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, paneer saag, and non-veg thali. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and perfectly prepared. My 2 new favorite appetizer is the chicken pakora! It was seasoned and fried to perfection & tho chicken momos were delicious and juicy especially with their flavorful dipping sauce. Their samosa chaat was also divine, all the sauces between the yogurt, mint and tamarind sauce added such bold flavors! We absolutely loved it Bombay Olive is perfect for anyone who loves bold spices, comforting dishes, and a warm atmosphere. Whether you're new to Indian food or already a fan, this place is worth visiting!

Passing through on the way back to Philly and needed lunch. Google search helped me find this. I…read moresuddenly had a hankering for a Kathi roll. I'll say first that it took about 20 minutes from placing the order to getting the food. We were two people at 2 pm on a Saturday with no other customers. My gut feeling said that they were making it all fresh to order. At least I hoped that was the reason. Well when they brought it to the table and I took my first bite, I knew. They absolutely made it fresh and made it slap. Fantastic flavor to everything. I had the chicken Kathi roll and the wife had the paneer roll. Both were full of flavor. But when my Mumbai born wife exclaimed "MMMM" when she tried her panipuri, I really knew. She says panipuri is tough to get right in America. Well apparently this place did.

If you are in the area, or even if your not, and you want quality Indian that is off blue back square - this is your place. The only downside for us was the curry. We asked for it mild, and it lacked flavor. I assume too tame down the heat they extracted some spices. Which was disappointing. But the chicken and momo was delicious. So highly recommend order - as is.

Unexpectedly nice, mostly good bites…read more Came here because the missus was craving momo. This was off the beaten path of blue back square so it was easier to navigate. There was parking in front but that plaza was fairly busy so the doors were all taken. Inside is decorated well if not slightly dated. There was one server was preparing portions of papad. He gestured us to sit at any open table. He was very attentive after he finished his task, but the initial interaction was very casual. We opted for the momo, a chicken madras, some poori for dipping, pashwari naan for dessert, and a chicken kebab for extra protein. Food came out quick, sat down and dug in. The momo, chicken kebab, and poori were great. Fresh, prepped well and flavorful. The momo were a highlight, made in house and although loose in the filling were seasoned and tasty. The chicken kebabs had little crisp bits of char which worked with the perfectly cooked chicken. And the Marsala sauce on the side was punchy and creamy. Even the pashwari naan was filled with a wonderful fig and cardamom filling but also toasted in salted butter to give it that salty crisp bite. The only bad bite was the curry. Overcooked chicken, no spice and one note. It was a massive disappointment from the rest of the meal. Price was reasonable, cheaper than the high end Indian places but not a bargain. Meal came out to $65, and the only thing not worth the money was the curry. I feel that they purposefully held back on spices because of our appearance, but there wasn't even salt. Never the less, the food here is of a very high caliber. The service is great, and the interior is decorated well. It's worth a try, and maybe a trek if you want momo.

Sometimes the food just takes long to make depending what you get so it is hard to tell if they forgot or if it's just taking long. Have also had a couple experiences where they forgot some items and did not get refunded. Once I asked for a refund and they said they would refund it but did not. Had another experience where they said they didn't want to refund it because it is too difficult. They did offer to give a free item next time. The quality of some of the food was not as good as it was in the past. Not sure if sometime changed or of it was just not fresh due to their text system not working.

Everything I ordered was…read moredelicious & the medium spice level was perfect- paneer tikka masala, dal tadka and garlic naan. Our hostess/server was a sweet young girl. We had to go up to the hostess/server station to pay our bill one time. It was nicely decorated inside and there was a large screen tv playing Bollywood movies which was fun! The reason I took a star off is because I ordered delivery from here one time. The dal tadka was so salty it was inedible. I was so disappointed because I absolutely loved the food when eating in the restaurant. I still look forward to returning to eat in the restaurant. Love this place!

There was a noodle shop right next door that was okay, and we wanted to give this new place a try as well. The inside is sparse and still rough with construction. The space use to be a açaí bowl location, and they still had some of the signs and decor from that location here. There's also some ripped up flooring and exposed piping in the middle of the floor. Don't plan on dining in unless you can handle some rough corners. The chef/owner was nice but shy, the wife was much more extroverted and very kind. The chef took the order, the wife took care of the interactions and check ins. Missus really enjoyed interfacing with the lady, she enjoys supporting the local businesses that go in with passion. We got the chicken 65, samosa chaat, and chicken khorma. Food came out steadily, and we dug in. The samosa chaat was good. Spiced lightly, but good flavor. The samosa was slightly cold in the middle, but the flavors were there. The chicken 65 was also lightly seasoned but the chicken crisp and tender. Needed a dipping sauce to impart some extra spice. The portion was large and well done. The chicken khorma was great. Tender chicken thigh with a nutty creamy sauce with a little spice. The highlight of our meal. We also got naan, garlic and peshwari. The garlic was good, very garlic forward but the naan seemed to be very thin. There was a lot of rips and holes through the 4 pieces we got. We also got the peahwari naan, which was little light on the filling but has the right flavors. Pricing was reasonable, especially given the quality vs the portion. It's not a dine-in location as of yet, but the food is perfect for to-go. It's good Indian done well, needs to work on the spice level of their dishes but it's ideal for those who don't like heat.

The pita burgers a great and they're filling! We've tried all the protein options, but I think the beef is our favorite because the spices really stand out.

The bar feels really open and airy, and bartenders are always friendly and attentive, even when they're busy getting ready for evening service. We frequently go for HH on a Saturday around 5 and it's usually pretty quiet at the bar which we enjoy. Great place whether you've had Afghan food, or you are looking to try something different!
