Bombay Mahal Express is described in multiple reviews as a consistently satisfying, fast and affordable Indian spot with generous portions and a wide range of flavors. The veggie thali is repeatedly highlighted, along with favorites such as butter chicken, saag paneer, aloo gobi, chana masala and naan, with many noting authentic Indian flavors and comforting, home style dishes. Service is described as friendly and efficient, and both dine in and takeout orders are praised for value and reliability. The menu is noted for plentiful vegetarian options and generous portions, with takeout often yielding leftovers. A few reviews point to occasional sweetness or minor inconsistencies in some dishes, but overall the sentiment emphasizes high quality, consistent taste, clean surroundings, and quick service that keeps customers returning to this Montreal staple.
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.

I cannot say enough about this place. I have celebrated EVERY major milestone, minor milestone & minor inconvenience in my life (since moving to Montreal 4 years ago) with the thali combo & samosa from Bombay Express on St Lau. I do not know any place that offers such incredible value for money, while producing such delicious food. I have tried every single Indian food place in the Plateau & have not found one I like more. I have recommended it to ALL of my friends & they are regular customers now as well. I ate there yesterday & they will see me again next week. Also, it is always clean & the service is fabulous & fast. THANK YOU BOMBAY EXPRESS!
I'll tell you it's amazing Indian food. The butter chicken was some of the best I've had. The price is right on point, especially if you get the meal deal. But if highly recommend this place. For any time of the day, but especially after a good night of drinks.

I recently ordered the Non-Vegetarian Combo For 1 from Bombay Express, & I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The combo offered an excellent variety, perfectly portioned for one, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to indulge in some authentic Indian flavors. The Butter Chicken was the star of the meal, with tender pieces of chicken simmered in a rich & creamy tomato-based sauce that was both flavorful & satisfying. The Palak Paneer was another highlight, with the spinach & paneer combination cooked to perfection, offering a delicious balance of spices. The meal also came with a generous serving of rice, which paired beautifully with both the Butter Chicken & the Palak Paneer. The Vegetarian Pakora was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & had just the right amount of spice. The Naan was soft & warm, perfect for scooping up the rich sauces, while the Papadum added a nice crunch to the overall experience. To end the meal, the Gulab Jamun provided a sweet, syrupy finish that was the perfect conclusion to this well-rounded combo. Overall, Bombay Express did not disappoint with this Non-Vegetarian Combo For 1. It's a great value for money & a delicious way to experience a variety of Indian dishes in one meal. I'll definitely be ordering again!
Bombay express is the BEST!! amazing food & the best service. We love Navi!! She always has a warm welcome & great conversation. Highly recommend to anyone who loves indian food. Must try & you will definitely be back! thank you bombay express
This is my favourite Indian restaurant in the whole city! I order takeout from here at least once a week. Even when I moved neighbourhoods I made an effort to still come & pickup on my birthday. I go so often now they even remember my order & do it perfectly every time! Even when I make modifications they are so kind & accommodating. The people that work here are so incredibly lovely & the food cannot be beat. Even when my dad came from toronto (he’s picky about his Indian food) I made him try it & he absolutely agreed how great it is. Also they are very accommodating if you want extra spice or little spice! Something that I really value. Do yourself a favour if you live in the plateau & order from here. True gem.
Excellent & authentic Indian food! I have tried many different places - this one is very good & I have tried different dishes as well there! Nice people too, highly recommended :)
