I…read morehad one of the best chicken tikka masala entrees I've had in a long time at this nice family-run restaurant--and at $18.99 I was worried about the flavor since they were kind enough to accommodate my request for no onion or garlic due to SIBO. The flavor was still rich, creamy and perfectly balanced to me! My husband ordered the same but without any ingredient restrictions. He thought his was pretty awesome as well but the star at this dinner was the naan. It arrived piping hot and with the right chewiness to it. It looked and smelt heavenly! He inquired how it was made and they told us each order is made fresh and by hand. My hubby said this naan rises above all the others he ate in India. Service was personal and very good. A tad slow at times but the family crew members had many take out orders during our stay. No worries. I'm planning a return visit already.

As we are vegetarians, we ordered paneer curry and garlic naans. Tasted amazing as always. Last time, we had tried Paneer Butter Masala curry, and it is yum too. Overall, I would rate it 5 for their vegetarian curries and naan. Definitely worth the visit.

We ordered the Paneer Lababdar with garlic naans, and the combination was absolutely delicious. The rich, flavorful curry paired perfectly with the soft, freshly made garlic naans--it was the kind of meal that had us reaching for every last bite. The portion sizes were generous, making it a satisfying meal, especially if you arrive hungry. The staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in at the right times without being intrusive. Another detail worth mentioning is that the restrooms were clean and well maintained, which always reflects positively on the restaurant. If you're looking for flavorful Indian food, generous portions, and good service, Bombay Bistro is definitely worth a visit. We'd happily come back to try more dishes from the menu.

There were a few other tables busy, but it wasn't noisy and it was a nice atmosphere. The owner, Naz, was welcoming and attentive, explaining the menu and inviting us to "make yourselves at home". (What more could you ask of a dining experience?) The sweet waitress was very helpful, always there when we needed something. I was so happy: there are so many vegetarian options - not just the usual "we took out the meat" but thoughtfully-chosen plates. The best part was the absolutely delicious cuisine: carefully-prepared, well-presented, with each dish complementing the other. Naz showed us how best to enjoy the sauces and seasonings. After the yummy appetizer platter, my husband had an African chicken dish, and I had a vegetable biryani. The prices were more than fair and the food was plentiful - we took a bunch home. We thoroughly enjoyed a lovely evening, and we're already looking forward to returning. Thank you!

We were a big group of 12 including infant and toddler and they managed everything beautifully. Another big group of 10+ came in when we were leaving around 9+ pm. The place was not huge but they can do big groups. Reservations recommended. This was my second time trying East African/Indian food. I still didn't know much about it. R and I shared a choma (grilled) platter which had 3 types of meat, choice of carbs and raw vegs. The server recommended Chicken Serena which was grilled chicken with some sauce and herbs. This was my favorite dish. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The other two meats were the beef ribs (pretty good) and Mishkaki (skewer beef - a bit dry and hard). I love the masala potatoes which was the best thing on the platter. The raw vegs looked like coleslaw without any sauce. It was just a dab of sauce on the side. Not enough for the shredded vegs. I also had the masala chai which was very weak and very bland. Skip this tea. R tried the on tap beer - Baadshah Pilsner - a south Asian craft beer produced by Magic Malt Brewing in Langley. Interesting. Good to try for $5. There was also live music. It can get quite loud when they were singing. Nice patio out front and parking on street and in their lot.

It didn't work. Tried again - same results. Ordered via Uber Eats. (2)My go-to is Chicken Tikka - no onions. I clicked on the Allergy tab for onions, however when it arrived my Chicken Tikka was COVERED with them!! it said 3 times on the receipt NO Onions /Allergy. This was completely ignored ! Despite scraping them all off and smothering a piece in Raita, my tongue is still tingling and swollen. (3)The Naan Bread was so dry, thin and over cooked it was the consistency of a burnt cracker. I tried soaking it in some water between paper towels and microwaving it, but it was so thin in many places it snapped. I'm used to Naan being thick and soft with some blackened edges. I like to put my chicken inside with Raita and eat it like a pita wrap. Not with this stuff ! (4)Nowhere on the website or Uber app does it say that the Butter Chicken comes with rice. So I order a side of rice for my husband. 3 containers of rice show up. Had I known it was already included (most places will tell you ) I would have saved the 6$. He didn't need 3 containers. (6)The free dish included when you spend 40$ was Papri Chaat . It was something I never heard of, but sounded good. I'm Sure it would have been if the wafers (Papri) wasn't It was completely soggy. (7) I also told them no Chutney as it would go to waste. They sent 3 containers .... The Good- It was quick from order to delivery. The Raita was delicious. Butter Chicken was enjoyed by my Husband. The flavour of the Chicken Tikka once all the onions were scraped off. Had they substituted cabbage for the onions it would've been really good. Thankfully Uber refunded me the 20$ for the Chicken. This wasn't a dislike - it was a safety issue For nearly 70$ this is unacceptable. *See photos

We ordered:  Naan, Kashmiri Naan, Pulao rice, Papri Chaat, Vegetable Pakora, Butter Chicken, Eggplant Bharta, Vegetable Jalfrazie, and Mango ice cream Everything here is so flavourful. If you're an eggplant lover like me, then I highly recommend the Eggplant Bharta; if you're a fan of butter chicken then you should definitely give theirs a try! Their naan is superb. We especially love their Kashmiri naan, which has a sweet filling inside it. Papri Chaat is what really stood out for me this time as it was the first time we'd ever ordered it. It was so zesty and refreshing, with a delightful tanginess to it. This was our first visit back the restaurant since prepandemic. So happy to finally make it back here!

We've been craving Indian cuisine lately, and after spending the day around Burnaby and New…read moreWestminster, we decided to finally check out Tasty Planet Indian Cuisine -- a spot we've driven by many times! Here's what we ordered and loved: Chilli Chicken - Deep-fried boneless chicken cooked with ginger and green peppers. It's like Chinese sweet and sour chicken but with a delicious spicy kick! Chana Puri - Two HUGE deep-fried wheat breads served with chickpeas, pickle, and salad. The chickpeas were so flavourful, and the puri was light and crispy. This is a must-order! Chicken Tikka Masala - Grilled chicken in a creamy, tomato-based sauce. Perfectly balanced and so comforting. Lamb Korma - Boneless lamb cooked in a rich white cashew nut sauce. The lamb was tender and full of flavour -- we loved the spice balance! Garlic Naan - Soft, perfectly cooked (not burnt!), and great texture. A must-have pairing with any curry. Every dish was so tasty that it was hard to pick a single winner of the night -- but if we had to choose, the Chana Puri and Lamb Korma were our top picks! The menu offers a great mix of classic favourites and unique regional dishes. Everything tasted authentic, fresh, and made with care. Tasty Planet is a small, casual restaurant located in a plaza at 6th Street & 10th Avenue (Highway 1A) -- right on the Burnaby/New Westminster boundary. It's a cozy spot, perfect for casual dining or takeout. We'll definitely be back -- or maybe we'll check out their other location on Fraser Street next time! Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 2/5 A-OK for kids. (There are non-spicy foods available.) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 1/5 (limited spots in front of the restaurant, but free street parking is available). Tips: * Can adjust the spice level. * Curry dishes come with free basmati rice. * Has over 120+ dishes to choose from. * Great for takeout and has a dine-in option. Would I Return: Yes ‍

Excellent Indian food you won't get many other places in Vancouver…read more Most Indian food in the city is Punjab. This place offers something different: Maharashtrian food, all-vegetarian, with many vegan options. Top-notch service -- the guy serving us was very helpful in letting us know what was or could be vegan. We ordered: -Oli Bhel ($13.38). Classic bhel puri with chutney mixed in. Excellent textures and flavour balance. -Ragda patties ($16.84). Two (non-fried) potato patties in a white pea curry (seemed like chickpeas), garnished with a sweet green chutney and sev. This was probably our favourite dish. -Misal bhakri ($22.11). Very spicy moth bean curry, served with farsan, chopped raw onions, and a bhakri (roti-like bread). Really fantastic flavours and textures again. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were staggered one by one, so that made for a nice paced experience. We loved the food. However, this type of cuisine doesn't exactly make a for a balanced, healthy meal -- there's a lack of vegetables and it's fairly low protein -- so hard to see us coming back frequently, but this is definitely highly recommended for a different Indian food experience.

In every setting, the experience was exceptional. The food is truly remarkable. There is a vitality to it that is difficult to describe until you experience it for yourself. The ingredients taste fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared, and there is an unmistakable energy in the food. What struck me most was how I felt after eating: energized, nourished, and genuinely good. There is a sense of vitality that stays with you, and you leave feeling refreshed, satisfied, and restored. I was also fortunate to meet the owner, who was exceptionally kind, warm, and generous with his time. He spoke with me about the traditions behind the cuisine and took the time to enlighten me about the depth, history, and significance of the food. He also introduced me to some wonderful and interesting drinks, making the experience feel personal and memorable. His passion and knowledge gave me an even deeper appreciation for what I was tasting and for the traditions being carried forward through the restaurant. There is something genuinely special and distinctive about this place. The food has depth, character, and integrity, yet it is remarkably accessible. It seems to transcend cultural boundaries and is appreciated by people from so many different backgrounds. Perhaps that is because, at its heart, it is simply delicious, thoughtfully prepared food that makes you feel good. That combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, freshness, tradition, and vitality is rare. Whether you dine in or take the food home, you can feel the care and intention behind it. This is more than simply a meal; it is an experience that leaves you nourished, energized, and grateful to have discovered it.
