About

Bombay Mahal specializes in authentic Northern Indian culinary traditions through an extensive menu of tandoori specialties and rich curries. Diners encounter a selection of clay oven roasted meats marinated in traditional yogurt and robust spice blends. The kitchen prioritizes classic techniques to prepare staples like creamy butter chicken alongside a variety of fragrant basmati rice preparations. Freshly baked naan serves as an essential component of the table, perfectly suited for scooping up intricate masalas and lentil dals. The interior features a straightforward aesthetic that focuses on the intensity of the kitchen output rather than ornamental flair. This establishment offers a direct exploration of vibrant regional flavors characterized by the measured use of ginger, garlic, and freshly toasted aromatic spices in every signature dish.

The best butter chicken ever 👌🏻

I have been regular customer of them since the new owner take over the restaurant. Recently she went on maternity & yesterday I was so surprised to see her back & how courageously she was handling the orders & how politely she treated to me both in french & english. After almost 7-8 months I had good experience for takeout just cause of her because the food which chef made specifically chilly paneer was so saucy & didn't taste better in compared to past days when the owner husband used to make it was the super tasty my go to dish. The delivery of food from the kitchen in last 7-8 months have been so slowed down that at-least you have to wait 20-25 min but yesterday kushi delivered my food within 10 min & was happy with her service but the food disappointed me & wasn't happy at all.
I am writing this review after thrice experiencing as the staff who were working didn't know english neither french & there is a old lady who doesn't know english & always stares ridiculously & calls kitchen staff & to add more she also stares the person who takes order as if they aren't trained & she behaves like she the boss & as a customer we have to wait to give order & then another 25 min till our order gets prepared. The delivery time has been the worst since the owner went on her maternity but was super glad to see her back yesterday.
I would strongly recommend the owner to speed up the orders so that food gets delivered on time & the food quality needs to be improved as the chilly paneer was the most famous but now the taste hasn't been the same. But now as the owner is back on work so I would definitely visit more often cause of her & I hope this review will improve the delivery time & quality as well. Only visiting the store cause of kushi otherwise past 7-8 months no food quality & no good staff. I hope she continues to work to get back lost-customers.

don't listen to the butter chicken brainrot & botted reviews.

appreciate that they're open late but recommend against the vindaloo here

it's not like vindaloo I've had anywhere else, it's a weird sour bright red glorp that doesn't taste right. spice is ok but it tastes like someone forgot what vindaloo is & winged it. it was hard to extract the dry lamb cubes from this bad taste

as other reviews say, delivery was extremely salty & hard to want to get through

the garlic naan is also kinda gross, it's not slathered with garlic ghee or anything it just has crumbly garlic'powder' or residue on it? bad texture experience. much prefer tadoori delicious

edit: suspicious review practices from low review accounts seem to be struggling to keep this place above four stars... follow the Google rules...
