Great appetizers. Ordered two different kinds of paneer dishes and they made the same thing twice. Both tasteless and bad, we didn’t eat.

This place is a hidden gem in terms of South Asian food. Everything is halal. Would definitely come again if I stop by in the

We don’t live in Iowa City anymore but we’re feeling Indian food when we were in the area. Tried the butter chicken, tofu tikka, and garlic naan. Butter chicken was super dry and barely had any curry. Tikka was soooooo bland and the rice served with the food was dry and clumpy. Overall good prices in comparison, but not great.

This was good food at a good price. There was one person working at the restaurant; so service can be slow. That is understandable. While the ambience was okay, I did not have an issue with it. It looked like the place just opened up. Helpings were plenty. Would recommend.

DON’T USE UBER EATS TO ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS RESTAURANT. The Uber Eats app only allows you to choose one topping on their gyro so I ended up with a pita, a bunch of lamb (yay) and a little tatziki sauce. Of course Uber makes it impossible to report this to their support. Do they even have support?? My gyro, although a bit baron, was tasty and garlic naan was good too. The fries were limp with no salt but I didn’t even realize I was getting fries so no loss there. I will get food from them again but not thru a delivery service.

Best Indian food in Iowa City/ Coralville but the owner cooks everything so sometimes he doesn’t take orders or wait could be at least 20 mins. The wait is worth it and his beef gyros, tandoori chicken, chicken 65, butter chicken, nan, chole-bature, samosa are very goodVegetarian options: Chickpeas, paneer, and potato based items are available.

If you're looking for a proper dine-in experience then this place is short of that. However they are more of a to go order or sit wherever you can find a seat in the mall type place. Of course they have a few seats right next to it for your convenience. Besides this they have good vegetarian and non-vegetarian options for their to go menu. Our server/chef was really accommodating as well. We initially ordered Dal Makhni but it wasn't available at that time of the day, so the chef recommended us Malai Kofta instead and it came out really tasty and good. Their garlic naans are crazy tasty, plus the chicken Karhai felt like home made. Even the rice had some flavor to it which everyone enjoyed to its fullest. For an Indian palette you'd love the food here. I'm definitely coming here again.Vegetarian options: Malai Kofta, Dal Makhni, Korma and many more.

My sons and I were glad to see these folks at the Saturday farmers market. We had a nice snack of samosas. Staying on vacation with my parents, going out for exotic foods for dining out is not an option lol. The samosas were delish, and I will say the menu is a bit confusing, because it looks like they are $5 each, but you actually do get 2 of them, which is in line with what you would get for a sit down dinner at the restaurant.

Please don’t waste your time they do not serve anything from their menu. I went two different time both time i walked away without food. Second time they had sign for open but the guy told me they are closed for another hour. I went back after an hour every thing I try to order they didn’t have it available.

We ordered catering portions (we picked up) from Bollywood Grill for a family event. We received generous portions of food and everything was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the butter chicken, lamb korma, samosas, and (of course) naan! The order was ready at our agreed upon pickup time. We had a great experience and will be ordering from Bollywood Grill again soon!
