This restaurant has been closed for a while! It's been replaced by Bombay Bistro and more recently by Hyderabati Spice which is still there and very good.
Made a large order for lunch at work.The food was really delicious! Really great customer service also! Would definitely recommend!
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find vegan Indian food? Not Indian food that is pretending to be vegan but secretly has ghee, yogurt or milk in it; but is legit vegan? Impossible. Then I found this place. The naan is nothing short of magical. You heard me, magical. It's light and full of flavorful. The garlic chili naan had the perfect blend of garlic and heat. It's nothing like the bland, heavy, doughy flatbread you get at other places. Let me say it again for the folks in the back...it is magical.I ordered the Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes) with basmati rice and the Daal Tadka (lentils). Everything had such a depth of flavor. A perfect balance of spices with enough heat (I requested hot) that enhanced the food without overpowering it. I couldn't believe how much I ate, but it was so good, I couldn't stop myself. My very non-vegan friend loved her dish too...and even stole half my lentils they were so delicious!The owner and his son could not possibly have been more personable. They have a very clear understanding of what it means for food to be vegan, which I appreciate. They have an outdoor dining area, but you can also eat inside. I would definitely recommend you check them out.
I have driven by this place a million times and always wanted to try it. Finally had it for the first time tonight.I had the vegan chana saag with some naan and it was amazing. The gentleman that worked there was kind and articulate and took the time to explain the dishes.
Was really in the mood for good Indian food. Decided to give this restaurant a try. We have our favorite go to but read good things about Bollywood. When we first walked in I thought I should leave, the restaurant was empty and that kind of scared me. We decided to stay and we were were so happy we did. The owner and his son were so friendly made us feel like old friends, even took us in the kitchen to see the tandoori oven and how the naan is made. Food was Excellent. My husband, daughter and myself moaned over everything. A little more pricey then we are used to but worth it. Food was fresh and delicious.A lot of out going orders. We will be returning.
This is the best Indian restaurant in the area! From the service to the food, everything is incredible!
The food is really good, and if you ask for the food to be spicy they will make it spicy... like the perfect amount of heat. The staff there is very courteous and friendly.My only minor complaint is that their prices are about $5 more than most Indian restaurants in the area, and the portion size (which is meal size portion and did not need to be larger) is the same size as the other restaurants. I know times are hard and it may be impossible for them to bring down the meal cost, but that is likely to be a deciding factor in how often I eat here.
Excellent food and service! We enjoyed speaking with the owner Deep as he takes special care that the patrons enjoy the experience at Bombay Bistro
Decided to try a new restaurant to switch up our norm and WOW are we so glad we did! Friendly staff that helped us order since we were new to Indian cuisine all of their suggestions blew our mind the food was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to go back!
The food was great and prices were good. Really friendly. In conversation with the owner, I learned that the restaurant opened right before the pandemic hit. I'm grateful he was able to keep the business afloat this whole time despite all the obstacles, and keep this family run business running. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone/everyone. 5 stars

What a wonderful discovery. I had the pleasure of dining here tonight and was guided by Deep, the new owner of the location. This was truly an eye opening experience. I really enjoyed the aromatic and beautiful flavors of northern India. I can’t wait to go back for more discoveries.
Would certainly recommend trying this spot. Excellent atmosphere, fresh dishes, excellent customer service. They never disappoint.
I have tried alot of indian restaurants, but let me tell you , this one is the best, the food wasn't so spicy as we ask and very well prepared ???
Very well kept and convenient restaurant. They offer generous meals and for affordable rates. I liked the meals a lot and the staff members were super personal and explanatory. Highly recommended.
I simply like their food. I always get fantastic service there. The place is always clean and the workers are always welcoming. Will come visit again.
