Bombay Mahal Express delivers authentic Indian flavors with standout butter chicken and fluffy naan, while a variety of vegetarian options like veggie thali and saag paneer keep diners satisfied; portions are generous and prices are affordable, with fast, friendly service making it a reliable choice for takeout and dine in, though a few dishes were noted as sweeter or less spicy than expected and some delivery orders varied in quality.
My go to Indian, hole in the wall. It used to be owned by the main restaurant on Jean Talon, but it's been sold off…but the food recipes remained pretty much the same. Atmosphere is to be desired so take out is the best option if you live in the area. The service at counter is comparable. Manage your expectations for the price point & atmosphere. However, they have always been efficient & never rude or disrespectful. Just efficient & consistent which is pretty good. Butter chicken is the best option. But almost everything is good. Portion size has somewhat gone down over the years but it's still a lot of food for a thali. Bonus small samosa is a plus. So if you want to no fuss affordable Indian place, this is a solid option.
Meilleur poulet Pakora en ville! Quoi dire du poulet au beurre dans sa sauce sucrée épicée! Je recommande pour tous ceux & celles qui veulent faire l'expérience de la cuisine indienne traditionnelle! Recettes maison!
My go-to spot for fast, affordable, & satisfying meals! I always order the veggie thali, & it never disappoints. The combination of spinach & korma-style curry is my favorite every time. Always flavorful & filling!

It used to be good. I ordered a thali & it was watery & flavourless. The naan was hard & mushy. I was extremely disappointed. I have been a customer for 20 years but I am never going back. The service was horrible as the person at the counter half pretended I wasn't there & put the food in the plastic container despite me eating in the restaurant & there being a tower of trays to eat in. She even put a plastic lid on the container. Everything about my experience was horrible.
Excellent platter of butter chicken, saag paneer, aloo gobi & samosa. The naan was so flavourful! Fast & friendly service. My colleague enjoyed her platter which consisted of lamb & , chicken curries & chick pea curry. The amount of chili in the dishes was just as she liked!
Such good value for money! I got the three veggie curry option it came with rice & naan bread & only cost $12.50 & I couldn't actually finish it all there was so much. & it tasted amazing :) I would highly recommend
You can never go wrong with this place, I have been visiting here since it was opened. Authentic Indian flavors, best butter chicken, & Naan. Chicken curry, Gobhi Aloo, & Chana masala remind me of back home. Hats off to the chef.
This place is THE BEST! The food is super yummy Indian comfort food. I travel out of my way to pick up a veggie thali. & Navi is so sweet. It's a great MTL resto.
