Then saw her again that June, and I mentioned how I was losing weight starting that week, which she thought was good. Then, I had a Restaurant.com deal for Bombay Bistro, and she agreed to meet me for dinner in early November 2022 here. I hadn't seen her since June. She said I looked really good; I had lost over 25 lbs. So, she had wanted friends in April, but it seemed like she had changed her tune that November. We went on some dates after that, but she was kind of weird & flaky. As for Bombay Bistro, it was an excellent choice. I enjoyed some rice platter. I don't remember the specifics, but it was great. The server was very hospitable answering questions. Overall, I'd return here again.

The Sambar and the crispy Samosas were quite spicy. My family came here for a late lunch on Saturday and the restaurant was completely empty. I can see why. The service was stand-offish as both staff members frowned at us and rudely served us. While the food is 4 stars, the service brings it down a notch. If you're in the area craving dosa, try it out but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

We got there around noon on a weekend, and by 12:30 it was packed--always a good sign!

Already planning my next visit!

*I've only ever gotten carry-out from here, so I cannot speak to a dine-in experience*…read more Ordering online has always been easy and the food has been ready when estimated. It's a little pricey in my book, but I suppose not overly so compared to many restaurants in the area. My go-to is the Paneer Makhani. Other favorites in the family are the Vegetable Samosa, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Makhani, and Malai Kofta Curry. We also usually order some Garlic Naan as well. The only real catch in my personal experience is the parking situation. It is not located adjacent to any of the surface parking lots in Kentlands, so you will be walking a little bit from somewhere. I don't enjoy walking or driving in Kentlands because people seem to lose their minds driving in there for some reason, so you have to be on the look-out all the time. There is technically street parking right next to the restaurant, but it's hyper competitive, I wish there was a spot or two saved for curbside/pick-ups. I went to pick-up dinner a little after 7 yesterday (a Thursday night) and circled so many times, that it ended up being faster to park over by the Michaels and make the cold walk over. At one point a car was parked diagonally the wrong way in one of the spots, as in they swooped in to take it from the wrong side of the road. So you can imagine how much those spots are left purely up to chance. TLDR/ tasty food; good for carry-out if you are prepared to walk a little or can bring someone to hop out and grab the food.

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night. We ordered drinks and the honey shrimp appetizer and were enjoying our conversation when the experience quickly went downhill. First, our waiter began cleaning the table next to us with an extremely strong, Windex-like chemical smell that was so overpowering it left me practically breathless. I couldn't understand why such a strong-smelling cleaner was being used while guests were dining nearby. Then, while we were still eating our appetizers, we were repeatedly bothered by tiny flying insects. It was absolutely disgusting and made it difficult to enjoy our food. The food eventually arrived, but honestly, it was mediocre at best. Between the overpowering cleaning chemicals and the insects buzzing around us, the entire dining experience was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I would strongly encourage management to address these issues immediately. Having customers eat while strong chemical odors fill the dining area and insects are flying around raises serious concerns about cleanliness and the overall dining environment. I had high hopes for this place, but the experience was a major disappointment. Management needs to take this seriously and make improvements ASAP.

Unfortunately, the dinner Combo noted at the top of the menu as an add-on was not available so we didn't get to taste the wider variety of foods we had hoped. Not sure why that was not available. It doesn't appear to be a lunch only option by the text on the menu. We ordered the Minerva Lamb Special, and the Chattinad Salmon Curry initially. A bit later we added the Paneer Masala Dosa. The food did not disappoint! The lamb was tender and the sauce flavors were not overwhelming but the perfect complement. I normally don't consider salmon to be a good curry protein but this dish was delish! The salmon was not overcooked and it didn't disappear in the sauce. Three cheers for daughter's choice! The dosa was huge with a scoop of paneer curry in the middle. We enjoyed breaking off crisp pieces to dip in the accompanying chutnryb& sandu. We obviously had leftovers and were provided with the perfect containers, including condiment cups for the chutneys and dips, to transport our dinner home for son to enjoy. This place was a bit of a drive for us but I would consider a revisit if in the area again.

(We learned that in a phone call with the restaurant. It's not mentioned on the menu). Decided to give it a try. My partner got the lunch special (Lunch Thali - non-veg), which was a meat dish, saag paneer, daal tadka, rice and naan. I got the Chana masala, mulligatawny soup and an order of garlic naan. Everything was delicious. The chicken in the special did have a lot of small bones, so my partner did have to be careful with that. But the spicing of each item was very good. The plain naan was fine, but the garlic naan was outstanding. Heavy garlic and butter flavor. Just great. We took much of the food home and enjoyed it the next day. The garlic naan came back to life with a brief microwave in a wet paper towel. We'll be back.

Yelp helped point me to Curry Place and I must say, Yelp nailed it, as did Curry Place. After spending some time reviewing the reviews and perusing the menu I settled on a few options: Saag Paneer, Garlic Naan, Rice, and the Vegetarian Momo Steamed Dumplings. My order not only arrived, fast and fresh, but the order was hot and accurate! They nailed my asks and requests, just like they nailed on delivering a great dinner. Out of everything, the Momo was the most okayest, whilst everything else was outstanding. Their saag paneer was rich and thick, the saag really stood up to the cooking and gave amazing texture and flavor, not being too watery or creamy. The garlic naan made for a flavorful pairing and the rice a nice base for the meal as a whole. Would I order again? Absolutely! Overall Curry Place delivered exactly what I need at the end of an exhausting week: easy to order, hot fresh and delish Indian dishes that I didn't even have to put pants on to get. I mean, let's be honest, what more could someone ask for?
