Don't be fooled be the lackluster decor, if you want FLAVOR, Serious, smile-inducing flavor, you come HERE! You will ABSOLUTELY NOT be disappointed, the food EXPLODES in your tastebuds. Must come for any fan of Indian!
The Lamb Vindaloo here is amazing. Very spicy, savoury, & delicious. I originally found this place on delivery apps, but I've since dined in a couple of times over the past 2 years, & the table service has improved immensely since the first time I came. I've tried several other Indian restaurants, & Bombay Mahal might not have the flashiest decor or the largest interior, but the food quality is unparalleled, & so consistent. This is my favourite local restaurant, & I'll be coming back often.
Dined in with family. Excellent food with, both quality & quantity. Specially the butter chicken & chicken biriyani! Would definitely recommend if you're in Montreal!
This was super disappointing. I got takeout once before from here & enjoyed it but I honesty don't know what happened this time. I got watery chicken curry. They gave us complimentary mango lassi when I picked up the food, which is nice, but the meal itself was bad. Dry chicken. Other dishes we got needed more salt.
