Bombay Choupati in West-Island's Pierrefonds district offers authentic Indian cuisine. Sample items from the menu include: masala dosa, Samosas, pakoras, butter chicken, eggplant curry, idli, lassis (mango and salt), as well as fresh Indian bread.
Reviewers describe Bombay Choupati as consistently outstanding, with the butter chicken frequently called the best ever and the masala dosa a favorite, while dosas and other dishes are praised for a homemade taste and authentic Indian flavors; takeout and dine-in are described as reliable, and service is often noted as friendly and attentive, making it a longtime favorite for many years. A few reports mention a disappointing night when chicken tikka was dry and not edible, affecting the meal, and one note mentions a closure in August for a family emergency. Overall the sentiment is highly positive and many readers call it the best Indian option on West Island.
We had two chaats. Bombay bhel & Bombay papari chaat. Both were fridge cold & didn't taste good. Ingredients weren't fresh. Then we had tandoori roti & baingan bharta. The only thing we liked is the tandoori roti. Big, hot & fresh. Barta had barely any baingan in it. It felt like generic tomato & onion sauteed with overcooked baingan pieces in it. Anywyas. We finished this disappointing experience with masala chai. Again this was good. So two stars. One for tandoori roti & the other star is for masala chai. We don't recommend this place.

I had the Butter Chicken Combo & Masala Dosa. The chicken was dry & stringy but the sauce was deliciously rich & creamy. The naan bread & spinach were average. The Masala Dosa was okay but I've had better elsewhere. Portions for both dishes were generous.
We had the Masala dosa to share as an appetizer, then the goat Madras, Aloo Goobi, rice, tandoori naan, & butter chicken. It was the best Indian food I've had not in India. Delicious. We even had leftovers we got to enjoy at home for lunch.
My friend & I dined at Bombay Choupati for the first time & we were blown away. The food was absolutely delicious!!! It was the best Indian food I've ever had. I can't believe that I haven't tried this restaurant sooner. To top it off, the service was impeccable, & I am very picky when it comes to customer service.
I ordered the curry goat dinner combo (the meat can be chicken or goat). It comes with vegetable curry, rice & naan bread. My friend ordered the same combo with butter chicken, & we shared a Masala dosa. EVERYTHING was amazing!!! I don't even know how to describe it, you just have to try it!!
In conclusion, with the extraordinary food, the wonderful service, the nice & cozy ambiance & the reasonable prices, Bombay Choupati has been added to my favorite restaurants list & I will surely become a regular patron!
I found this restaurant through Urban Spoon because we were running errands in that area, & got hungry. Checked out what was in the area & found this restaurant with its good reviews. Love Indian, but am always skeptical of 'planted' reviews, so we went in not expecting it to live up to the good reviews. BUT - it was truly fantastic. Had Masala Dosa, which I'd never tried before - amazing. Won't bother with samosas anymore... this was much more delicious, delicate & fresh. Butter chicken was super. Prices were really great, & the plates allowed us to have a variety of items (butter chicken, vegetable curry, naan, rice - all delicious) for less than I would spend on the main item in other restaurants. Service was really pleasant (must admit we lucked out because we got there in the mid-afternoon, so restaurant was empty when we arrived, filling up as we left) - very nice gentleman served us. So all in all an awesome discovery. Definitely recommending to friends.
A colleague who lives near the restaurant brought us here for a dinner get together with friends at work. It was my first time to eat Indian food.
The service but a bit slow. If you're new to the place, patience is very much needed at this point because it's a family business & they do not have a lot of servers manning the floor. As soon as the food arrived, it's a different scenario.
I had tasted the butter chicken, Masala dosa & the naan bread. I also had the Tikka Chicken. They were all amazing!!! I love spicy food & this was really really good. I would recommend it to everybody as my friend had recommended it to us.
I would definitely be back for sure!! :)

I have been coming here for about a year since I discovered it, & plan to continue doing that for as long as they will have me.
Basically, Bombay Choupatti serves some unique dishes that are simply not available at regular Indian Restaurant. You can't find Bombay Bhel or any Masala Dosas anywhere else that I know of. On top of the refreshing aspect of the dishes, they are prepared beautifully & seem very authentic.
The amount of food for the money is staggering as well. I would honestly pay over twice as much as they are charging & still be super happy.
