Posh location in financial district, still rates reasonable. The taste was a lot authentic. Abhijeet from Amalner, MH, India was an awesome n friendly host, looked after us throughout dinner.

After a long day in the city, we stopped by this Indian place and the food was delicious. I like the Chole Bhature more the chicken tikka masala. They have great fish and chicken dishes to try out.

This restaurant is closest in food taste that you can actually get back in Mumbai (Bombay formerly). The ambience is good with punjabi music.

We had ordered Plain Naan, Veg Jalfrezi and paneer chilli for appetizers.

Paneer Chilli - Usually we expect paneer chilli to be spicy. But this one was very different it tasted sour and sweet. Not saying it tasted bad. But i like the it spicy than sweet.

Veg Jalfrezi and Naan - This dish was extremely delicious served (not spicy enough according to indian standard) with soft Naans. On top of that you get a complimentary Plain Rice which we had with the Jalfrezi.

Overall great service and ambience. I would recommend to visit this hotel at least once if you are in NYC. Also you get fast food thats a plus.

Delicious food! Mango lassi, paneer tikka masala was awesome! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have Indian food!

Very good food! I ordered a chicken curry with some naan bread. It had a good taste and a good amount of spice. If you like a bit less spice you should order chicken tiken masala.

The service was also really good.

I will say that it’s a restaurant you should not miss!

Food: Outstanding!
The "Bombay Kabob" appetizer was SO yummy!
The Saag Paneer & Garlic Nan were also very good.

Service: A+!
Friendly, Professional & Quick.
Could not ask for better.

Atmosphere: The only reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because the music was simply too loud to carry on a private conversation.

I shall be back!

I asked for Jain Paneer Tikka Masala and they gave us Tomato Soup with cubed Paneer in it and the food overall is just bad, if I can give it a 0 I would.

Pros:
- place was clean
- Few items we ordered were decent tasting (pav bhaji, chola bhatura)

Cons:
Chicken 65 was super chewy and felt it was refried or just heated up

This was an absolute gem of a place to find. Highly recommend for anyone downtown. Curry tasted superb and the naan bread was something else. Is a must visit if you love Indian Cuisine!

The food was average and we spent 50 bucks for that which was not worth it.
You can always go to Chipotle and other cheaper options that are available in market.

Very nice food. You will miss if nearby at NewYork. All Indian cousins are available. Very popular here for corporate officers. They are regular for lunch.

Love these folks - my favorite Indian food in the area! Super flavorful, good portions, lovingly prepared, reliable delivery, and - vitally - very accommodating of vegans. Most items on the vegetarian menu can be made vegan if you specify it in your order notes. Generally this just means the replacement of butter/ghee, so the dish is virtually identical and just as delicious. P. S.if you're ordering delivery or pickup, I'd recommend going straight to their website - they're very responsive and I believe it reduces fees on both sides.
Highly recommended! Thanks for being so accommodating to vegans so we can enjoy this delicious food.

Our favorites are the black or yellow Daal (lentils), Rajma (kidney beans - we don't see this too often but it's delicious), and of course Chana Masala. They'll also vegan-ize the Paratha bread on request, which can be hard to find!

This was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. I popped in for a quick late lunch yesterday around 2: 45pm. I work about a block from here, and Bombay's is a bit under the radar compared to other nearby establishments, including most of the ones on its own block - Fraunces Tavern and Dead Rabbit on the other side on Water Street are nearby neighbors. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I walked in, but it was definitely much more casual than I assumed from the exterior. It's one step up from self-service buffet style, and they were expecting mine to be a to-go order - there is no wait service here, nor is it needed. It's very no-frills, and gives off almost an ethnic fast food vibe. If you're looking for a formal white tablecloth experience, this isn't it.

The guy manning the food counter was very helpful/informative without being condescending. Indian food is not my wheelhouse, and I'm not ashamed to claim ignorance in that regard. Without my having to ask a lot of questions, he picked up on my lack of knowledge and immediately offered a few free samples so I could figure out which meats went best with my palate. I opted for their two meat/side of naan lunch special, which came to about $16 or $17. I have to think chicken tikka masala is the best known of the mainstream Indian dishes or close to it; it's one I've actually had before and enjoyed - that was an easy call. My initial second selection was a lamb dish that the guy immediately cautioned was spicy, and he offered me a quick nip to confirm. I could have handled it theoretically, but it was a LITTLE too much for my palate. Instead I opted for the curry chicken. I was again given the caveat that most of that dish had bone in it, but when I demurred and asked if I could double up on the tikka masala, he immediately told me he'd just give me the boneless chunks of the breast meat instead. Very pleasant fellow, and a significant part of the positive experience overall.

I loved the chicken tikka masala. It was honestly one of the better versions I've had, with a sauce that was just the right balance of milkiness and tomato. In both chicken dishes, the meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. I wasn't as crazy about the curry sauce - it was a little too bland, which is rare for me to say when it comes to Indian food. So in the future, I'd probably just steer clear and zero in again on the tikka masala. For my naan side, they let me have the garlic one, which was very scrumptious. Not the best I've had, but solid overall - not as airy and crispy as I usually like it, but it was devoured promptly nonetheless.

The service was excellent for what it was. Again, you didn't have a waiter involved in the meal, so my experience was limited to the fellow behind the food display and the guys over on the other side prepping the naan. Beyond the informative guidance provided by the gentleman with the meats, I thought it was kind of sweet that the two cooks over at the naan station profusely apologized for the wait on the garlic naan, which amounted to.maybe 30 seconds. Clearly high standards on the turnaround.

This is a little pricey for a super casual, fast food-type experience, even for the area. As a result this probably won't be a regular spot but I can certainly envision myself being a repeat customer in the not-too-distant future.

I know biryani and the one they serve is insanely tasty Ask for it to be spicy and cool it off with the provided yogurt/raita. Great portion size too.

Our experience in Bombay's was great. The waiter was kind and we shared couple of conversations. The speed of the service was outstanding and the food was yummy and warm.
