Across reviews, Bombay Mahal is seen as a go to for flavorful Indian cuisine with consistently tasty dishes such as butter chicken and lamb korma, plus standout naan and samosas, and many diners call it a reliable favorite in Montreal for value and technique. The ambiance is described as modest or ordinary, sometimes with no music, and the dining room is not the focus while the kitchen shines; flavors are generally balanced and rich, though a few visits report issues like dry tandoori chicken, a watery curry, or overly salty sides that miss the mark. Service is frequently praised for friendliness and hospitality, with staff going the extra mile and occasionally offering complimentary portions, while other visits note slower or less polished service. Takeout is popular for convenience, and most reviewers agree the food quality, portions, and value make Bombay Mahal worth returning to, even if an off day can occur.
Bombay Mahal on Jean-Talon never disappoints! We ordered as take-out butter chicken, shrimp korma, naan & chaat papri. The chaat papri looked more like pain puri but was just as good. The naan wasn't puffy but rather condensed like a roti.
I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, but what I loved the most were the Gulab Jamuns. They were soft, perfectly sweet, & just melted in the mouth.
A special thanks to Gurpreet Kaur, who works there. She was very polite, friendly, & helpful, which made the experience even better. I would definitely visit again-highly recommended
Very good Customer Service & Excellent food from veggie pakora to fish pakora to chicken korma to chicken karai ( as per request ) to naan.
A must visit the restaurant to enjoy good indian food.

Best indian restaurant ever. I go to Montreal for this restaurant!! We ordered korma & vindaloo & it was perfect combination. vindaloo was spicy & korma was creamy sweet in a good way. Naans were so fresh & crispy. We finished whole dish. BYOW was cherry on top😊
Notre endroit de référence familial pour de l'Indien. Nous partons de la rive-Sud à chaque fois. Masala Dosa aussi bon qu'en Inde ! Poulet au beurre, pakora, Thali veg. & non veg. ... des classiques.
Merci à toute l'équipe!
We ordered take out from there, the sauce for both the butter chicken & the lamb korma were very liquid & not creamy as expected, but still good, the lamb korma was really better than the butter chicken
