The most rude person behind the counter. He couldn’t be bothered with us. Rolling his eyes at simple questions and letting out a sigh I can only assume in disgust. The food? Not authentic! My wife and I ordered different dishes, when they came they looked the same with different proteins. My recommendation is to stay as far away from this fraudulent “Authentic” restaurant as possible.

The food is above average good ( although not great) , is possibly the only Indian place in the whole vicinity and gets most things right. It’s a small place and is largely a one man operation, so expect some wait time at peak hours.
What lets this place down is the service- no smile as you walk in or no sense of welcome at all. ‘Order if you like and eat what you want is the approach’. Having said that, we were a group of 5 who got served pretty quickly and we ordered both veg and non veg options. The good bit is you can customize your spice levels when ordering. I ordered a lamb meal and it was quite good and had a good portion size for one person. If you are light eaters, maybe even two can share or say 2 meals can suffice for three. Overall if you are in the area or on your way to Utah from Vegas and looking for Indian food, this place is a good stop . Just make sure you temper your expectations as this isn’t downtown Vegas or a buzzing city. And in a way, hats off to the owner for keeping Indian cuisine alive in the area.

The person working at the front, who appears to be from Pakistan, doesn’t speak English well and has a poor attitude. He started speaking in Hindi, so we also began speaking in Hindi. There were four of us, and while we were talking, he suddenly walked away from the front desk and said, “Come get me when you’re ready,” which felt unprofessional and rude. We left the place

We stopped by with my family and ordered the lamb stew and garlic naan — everything was hot, fresh, and full of rich flavor. The bread was especially soft and tasty. We really enjoyed our time here! The only downside is that there isn't a dine-in restaurant open to the public, unfortunately. But overall, a great little stop with delicious food and warm service.

Food not worth, quantity and quality both not good.
I have never seen such liquidy and unappetizing butter chicken before in my life. The service was non-existent and bland. I love indian food and I’ve never seen butter chicken that was in soup form. The garlic naan was hard and had no flavor. I don’t know how you mess up garlic naan. They had the option of tipping 18%, 25% or 30%. Insane! That lackluster service and awful food that we couldn’t eat is not worth even a 1% tip. He asked for a 5 star google review and it’s laughable knowing that he’s clearly freezing his food and defrosting it for his customers.

The butter paneer and veg Tikka masala we ordered was straight Campbell's tomato soup. Aloo Gobi was gobsmackingly horrendous. Rice was also funky.

Bombay Café is a tiny chain of two regionally owned locations (Cedar City, Utah and Mesquite, NV) serving traditional Indian food. I live in Northern Utah and was traveling to Mesquite, NV for work. I was craving Indian food and found this little restaurant hidden away from the casinos in a small strip mall. Usually, these hidden gems don't disappoint, but this time was different and this is why:
The Ambiance-- Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted with a very faint aroma of Indian spices, which surprised me as I am used to smelling those aromas strongly in this type of establishment. This location is a tiny place with indoor seating for approximately 15-20 at max. The dining room was kind of dingy, but not dirty. In one corner of the small dining room, there were some items of Indian and/or Pakistani origin for sale which I found a bit odd given the size of the restaurant.
The Service-- Upon entering you will find a small counter with a digital menu board above it. There were no employees immediately visible to greet you, and after waiting a few minutes someone came to the counter. At this restaurant, they skipped the niceties and got straight down to business. No "Hello!" or "How are you today?" Not even a "Go to Hell!" Just simply, "What do you want?" He appeared to be the only one working, so it was fine, just a little unexpected. My order was placed with the usual question of "How spicy do you want it; mild, medium, or hot?" I replied that I would like it Indian medium, as opposed to American Medium. With that, my host-cashier-cook-server headed to the kitchen and (after washing his hands) prepared my meal.
The Food-- About 15 minutes later my food was brought to my table and that was the last I saw of the employee. I did not even get a response when I yelled back to the kitchen to thank him. I ordered the Butter Chicken with medium Indian spice level and a piece of cheese Naan. All of the food was pleasantly hot temperature-wise. The basmati rice was light and fluffy and the Naan was soft and pillow-like with perfectly melted cheese. Unfortunately, that is where the compliments end. The Butter Chicken had virtually no aroma that I could detect. My suspicions were confirmed when I tasted it, for it had hardly any flavor. The sauce was riddled with grease patches everywhere. The big, bold Indian spices I was expecting were just not there. The chicken was tender, but it did not matter because there was no spice to enhance its flavor.
Overall Bombay Café ended up being quite a disappointment. When you round out the fact that you had only one grumpy, non-sociable employee running the joint, I will give credit where it is due as is reflected in the scores. There is a ton of potential here in markets that don't see a lot of diversity in food options, as long as upper management can step up their game.
