This place deserves a big shout out for their best food . As well as best dahi puri ever in this NOVA . They put a lot of dahi and filling inside the dahi puri and its so flavour full. Their samosas Are expensive just a one samosa but was handmade so appreciate it . We always go there for sweets but i dont know why the rating here in google is so poor but they are actually trying to do their best . Love your dahi puri will come back all the time .

Most horrible food ever. Ordered Papri chat and other items. Papri chat had some wierd salty crackers and dahi vada. They gave me 2 dry cold kachori to chew and swallow as on asking for chutney they just told me you don’t get chutney with kachori. Money wasted and worst experience ever.

Wow, my memories of Bombay Café must’ve been really overrated because I went there today after probably about… Oh my gosh, has it been 20 years already… Yes. Well I moved out of the area for a while. But I always remembered the buffet at Bombay Café and the Pakora… Imagine my dismay the buffet is gone and it’s kind of like a soup kitchen set up now and the Pakora had just one lonely dumpling in it… Which, if it had been a buffet, I could’ve gotten more I think… Anyhow, the naan was… What was that pita bread you bought at the Safeway?? That was the worst naan I’ve ever had. I remember the sweets there being really top-notch… But I forgot to get some and it was a hot day so I didn’t wanna go back in… On second thought I think I’ll just keep my memory of how good those sweets were.

Horrible carry out for food ordered online 45 minutes prior to our arrival. Then food was 20 minutes late no apology and in addition we ordered more food upon arrival to pay it forward to a mom and kid outside the restaurant. The original order was not complete until we showed them all that it contained from email proving we really had an order . I’m confused how they have 900 average reviews with such a discombobulated system.

To top it off when we got home it’s not even the correct order. They provided the same dish when we ordered different ones.

Went in for their regular $12 “platter”. It was 95% rice. Portions of meat are so small and served in these little cups. Food tasted good, but we would not go back unless they did a buffet or something different.

I’m not big on writing reviews but this here !!! Uhhhh highly disappointed at this place - haven’t been here in over a year.

To start with - walked into the restaurant and the door is disgustingly dirty. You would expect some finger prints but this here was beyond acceptable 🥴🥴🥴. Then after I walked in - there was a heavy musty smell - like perhaps the floors and counters might be dirty, not sure but it is NOTHING like it used to be before - appearance or cleanliness. The smell was def not the food - then I walked over to order - the counter which appears to be faux granite - uhhh couldn’t imagine how aged it looked along with wet spots.
Looks disgustingly dirty.

Very sad and disappointing to say the least !!!
Will not be coming here again.

While I know restaurants are a hard business to run - if you can’t keep up with basics, what’s the point.

I hate saying this but this is the demise of many Indian businesses. They are wrapped up in cutting corners every possible way and it’s allllll about the money. Customer service and aesthetics LAST.

It is a good place for chaats and eat . They have to go boxed ready to pickup. People can come and pickup the food. If they don't want to go restaurant and don't have time. They have thalli options too. You cab choose two curries and it will serve with rice and one naan which is sufficient foe one People in good price just $12.
They have variety of indian Mithai . Gulag jamun,

The platter includes two curry options along with rice, naan, and dessert. The food quality is good; however, the service could be improved. The staff appeared overwhelmed and there was a lack of clarity regarding orders, leading to some wait time. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, better management and more organized service would enhance the dining experience.

My rating is based on delicious food and an exceptionally friendly staff. The restaurant is strictly strip mall. Comfortable and clean, but not very decorated.

We were on our way to lunch at another favorite restaurant, when we walked in here. Another patron saw us puzzling the ordering instructions and came over to both explain it and confirm this is a great place to eat.

We tried a two curry lunch platter with butter chicken and chicken curry and a naan on the side. They were so delicious I went back to order more to-go for tonight — tandoori chicken and chicken biryani. It all seemed a great value for a wonderful lunch.

The American version of a Punjabi Dhabha is what Bombay Cafe is to me. I’ve lived in the area for over two years now and there’s just nothing like it. I️ still Haven’t found a better butter chicken in Nova. I’ve tried all the top Indian restaurants in Nova but find myself eating from here the most. Casual. Take out or eat there. If you’ve never been here and love Punjabi I️ndian food, its a must try to get a feel of the real real good good. The combo specials are the best route and the to go section is very useful! Bombay cafe is more than Indian food. It’s a community.
