My lover's cousin loves this place so we took her here for her birthday. The food is very good, especially that garlic naan. My only warning is that if you like things spicy, I had a heat level of 10 for my curry and I didn't even break a sweat. The atmosphere is nice and quiet with quick and attentive service. If you are looking for Indian for in Bel Aire, I recommend going here. read more

Service was terrible. We were practically the only patrons. Only 4 other people there. But the service was unbearably slow. The food finally arrived after about half an hour. If it had been crowded I could understand. But it was empty. Then they forgot to bring out the naan we ordered. The paneer, naan and eggplant dishes were delicious. But I ordered lamb kebabs. They were so dried out and burnt I could barely cut through the meat. I asked for a steak knife but they don't have any. I complained to the waiter and even showed how much meat was left and told him it was too well done and hard to cook. We didn't even want to take it home. He knew we were first time customers. But offered no money off the bill. When we were done eating we literally had to flag someone down for the bill. I only left a small tip. I didn't want to leave any tip at all. So disappointed. read more

The first time I enjoyed drinner it was a wonderful experience. The food was terrific and they had belly dancers. Fun! Over Covid I got carry out many times. I still get carry out regularly. Food ridiculously good. So I always have several special requests. Can you imagine they always get it right. I am thrilled when my requests are honored. It says to me they appreciate their customers. My daughter now gets carry out. Same story. 2 very picky children always special requests. It's always right and good. My grandchildren now love Indian food. Thank you!! read more

We ordered from here for the family. We clearly asked for delivery to be at 7:45. That way we would all be home when our Valentines dinner arrived. At 6:45 they came with our food. If that wasn't annoying enough, when I called them about their error, they said, "sorry about that." And disconnected from me. When I tried to call back, they couldn't be reached! I have lost all respect for this establishment! I don't advise anyone to order from th read more

This was our first time here. There were mixed reviews about this place and didn't know what to expect. Pleasantly surprised with the buffet selection. Great food! Friendly staff! Good value for money. Will definitely go back. read more

The food is good, and it would be better if it was consistent. That's the biggest issue. I've gotten some veggie dishes twice, and they tasted diff each time. They know how to make their food spicy though. I've asked for extra spicy food and they deliver on that. Putting kidney beans into dal makhani is normal but they should be crushed a bit more into the dal. Some veggie entrees taste like they just have pre made sauces and just add in different vegetables into a sauce. We usually do take out or delivery and there haven't been any issues with the temperature of the food. read more

REALLY really delicious garlic basil naan. They forgot to give me the garlic naan, so I couldn't compare them. The butter chicken was a few pieces of chicken in A LOT of soup. The Chana Masala was pretty good, no heat despite a middle number. I got takeout but the inside looks very clean and nice, and a pretty good spot for exclusive dining. The person who gave me my food was smiling and happy, so I want to go back and try it! read more

Please take this review into consideration. It was my first time with my husband trying Sizzling Bombay and we found a hair in the chips and dip they give you when you first arrive. We did confront them and when they took the hair into the back we could hear everyone in the back laughing (no music was playing) they never came back to the table to say anything. HUGE OSHA VIOLATION!! They didn't give a fresh dip for the rest of the chips we had. No effort was made. I will never be going back. Nor is my parents anymore because they would always go. We ended up going to India Garden which I feel is more authentic! and food was amazing there. Go there before going to these people who do not care. (Also provided picture. They did take the hair before I could take a better picture!) read more

Sizzling Bombay - Hair in food - Indian Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

I was shocked by the way the server behaved with us after the meal. I went with my wife and kid for a buffet today and when the bill came they charged us for 3 full buffet. I asked him why three it is usually 2 full and 1 kids buffet, did the rules change. his reply was shocking. he said in front of my daughter and other guests that she eats more than a child and should eat less to be charged like a kid. he went on saying she is bigger for her age. what nonsense ?? When I asked for the manager he said no one is there I am the manager also. I asked for the owner or his wife who are generally there he refused. I asked him to call the owner who I believe is Chef Mahindra but he did not I told the other server and they did nothing. in fact he asked me to leave. food was okay but this attitude calls for a total boycott of the place insulting a child in totally uncalled for. my 6 plus year old daughter is ashamed and is asking is she too big or fat never go to this place read more

foods great, I've been ordering for years but the restaurant is failing at service. Used to give ample rice when ordering out but now they barely provide enough for a single curry dish. If I'm paying for multiple dishes of curry I'd expect to receive at least one container of rice per curry. Unfortunately that is no longer the case, consider looking elsewhere for your moneys worth. read more

My first time -- the server is very friendly and accommodating. Food is great but I wish there are more options in the buffet. But i will definitely come back . read more

Service was friendly and food was good. Went there for Father's Day celebration. It was a buffet style service. They were attentive and kept the trays with food, despite a busy crowd. read more

It's my go to place for Indian and order almost weekly. I'm not a great reviewer because I order the same exact thing every time but what I get is the best around. Naan is fluffy and flavorful and the chicken tikka masala is flavorful, not too many veggies, and chicken is moist. read more

Loved the atmosphere here! And the food was great! Started out with a meat samosa and it was perfectly cooked and spiced. The pastry was light and flaky, and not overly greasy. For my mean I got the salmon tikka masala. The sauce was a great consistency and again, everything was perfectly spiced. The service was great and the waitress was very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

The service was excellent. The staff was welcoming and so friendly. I was glad to see them open and had a dine-in option. They serve both Indian and Indo-China cuisine with plenty of no vegetarian and vegetarian dishes. We ordered the following: 1. Potato and pea samosas - you get two generous portions 2. Full chicken tandoori - came out sizzling and plenty for two to share 3. Vegetarian aloo gobee- dinner entree enough for one person For 1 and 2, the flavor profile of the seasonings were a bit different than what I'm used to compared to others but nothing objectionable. For 3, it has a sweet-sour component and a light crispy texture. Oh they serve complimentary pappandam with 3 sauces at the beginning of your meal. read more

The food is pretty good, my favorite is the Korma. My only problem is that when you eat inside the vibe is very awkward. Tables feel too close, awkward mirror placement. The service is decent to good. read more

We always have a wonderful time at this restaurant. I always order the lamb saag but I'm never disappointed in any additional dish we order. My husband always orders the lamb chops. They are perfectly seasoned and done beautifully. The naan breads are delicious. We also have enjoyed the lunch buffet. My grandchildren also enjoy this restaurant and the fries are delicious. The service is excellent with friendly waiters. read more

I got a Chana masala and it tasted good and familiar. They were kind but rushed over the phone when placing the order. And it was pretty empty when we went to pick it up. It was well decorated and I'd want to eat there sometime. read more

Oh my GOD, if I could give this place 50 STARS, I would do it!! I'm usually the type of person who loves to try different things, but their Lamb Korma is so sensational that I haven't been able to bring myself to order anything else! The seasoning is always exquisite, the meat is always tender, and the naan is always perfect. And the food is just as good as takeaway as it is served fresh in the restaurant. Side note about the restaurant: in addition to the cozy/beautiful atmosphere, they have the most competitively priced alcoholic beverages (basically the same as retail price). Not anything fancy, but some delicious middle of the road staples that let the food stay front and center. Thank God Sizzling Bombay is close to where we live! I think I'd cry a lot if we couldn't enjoy it on a regular basis. read more

Great food and service! We go regularly. Garlic naan & chicken tiki masala is delicious!

This place is a bit hidden and I did not know it was there until I stumbled upon some reviews. It is a small place with friendly service. The decor and atmosphere are nice. Not too many people inside when we visited, so it was rather quiet. The food was very good. I asked for a "10" in spiciness and I believe I got a 10. They are better than some of the other local Indian places I have been to. read more

The buffet was ok, not bad, not great. The service was good. The spot was cute with easy parking.

I just ordered the Lamb Biryani for delivery, and I can't be happier!! It only took less than 30 min during lunchtime, and the food was superb!! There were so many pieces of lamb, and it was so tender!! And they give you a heaping amount of it!! Highly recommend!! read more

It was a very windy day with sporadic power outage . Last hurrah for the winter boys ! Tried using Yelp to locate this place. Those who see prices on this place on one of the photos, has been increased to norm 10.99 for lunch buffet . Worth it, with all customary veggies selection of curries with chicken varieties. They have a soup to start with and naan (bread) are not served on table which has become customary at most Indian food buffet. Service was good and had good experience, read more

Always a beautiful selection for the lunch buffet. Excellent Indian flavors and nothing overly spicy.

Great all you can eat lunch buffet at an affordable price. It's easy, and consistent.

I found this little gem on a trip. This will be a regular spot for me next time. I will be bringing friends. Great food, service was prompted, waitress and hostess were both very courteous. I had to taste as a first the chicken marsala. I was not disappointed. It was enough food for two people. read more

Sizzling Bombay - The food was great. It was a lot of food enough for two. I killed it though. I recommend for a quick bite. - Indian Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

The buffet at Sizzling Bombay was as good as it's ever been today! I don't get there very often, and they had two dishes that were new to me: Chicken Biriyani and Chilly Chicken. Both were spicy and delicious. The traditional buffet items (Tandoori Chicken, Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, and too many more to mention) were also terrific. As always, our friendly and efficient servers kept our water glasses full and our plates cleared. Be sure to check in for 10% off your total bill. read more

Ordered DELIVERY on a Friday night at 7:30 and it was delivered by 7:50! Hot and delicious Indian food! My favorite is the Shrimp Masala. I love Bombay! The staff is great too! read more

Their food has improved significantly. The dal makhani, fish goani, seafood methi malai and seafood mazedar are fantastic and a must try!

The food is good but my last two deliveries lack a little luster. I ordered the buttered chicken and it was more sauce and not much chicken.

A wonderful restaurant with really tasty and well-prepared food. I don't have any complaints at all and would happily come back if I was in the area. Great job guys! Seniors, military and civil servants get a 10% discount too! read more

this restaurant is so fucking cheap they dont gv u utensils and when u call them they still have gut to say they dont provide it how a person can eat food without utensils read more

Sizzling Bombay is a hidden gem. Fantastic Indian food, and reliably gluten free. We drive from Delaware to eat here, we like it so much.

Been to this place 3 times now and each time the food and service have been excellent. Quiet, cozy establishment in a small strip mall. In my most recent visit, my son and I were driving home from a soccer game in Philly and we decided to stop by for lunch since we had a craving for Indian food. We ordered the garlic naan, paneer kulcha, goat vindaloo, and lamb mazedar, with the latter two being level 7 heat. The sauces in both dishes were excellent, both with very distinct flavors, acidity, and richness. The sauces are the star in the show, to be honest. You could probably add any protein in the sauces and it would turn out just as delicious. I have to admit, the goat wasn't as tender as I'd like it and we got a lot of bones in our vindaloo dish, but it didn't deter us from finishing it and licking the plate. Now the lamb!...man, that meat was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut it! If you're craving Indian food, look no further. read more
