About

Bombay Mahal Express specializes in the preparation of traditional Indian cuisine with a distinct focus on vegetarian-friendly preparations. The menu highlights a variety of robust flavors derived from authentic spice blends, ranging from hearty lentil dal to richly seasoned paneer and vegetable curries. Freshly baked naan bread and fragrant basmati rice serve as the primary accompaniments to these complex, slow-cooked dishes. Each preparation emphasizes the natural textures of legumes, garden vegetables, and aromatic herbs to create a cohesive meal. The establishment maintains a streamlined service model centered on the efficient delivery of these classic regional dishes. Guests consume these preparations within a functional, no-frills setting designed to showcase the depth of North Indian culinary traditions without unnecessary elaboration.

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.

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.

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!
