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.
The food is excellent & always has been. However, they have almost halved the amount of chicken in their curry & biriyani. That was one of the big draws - huge portions. This last time just wasn't up to par. Still, it's always been my go to for as long as I can remember so I hope this was a one off. We shall see!

La nourriture y est bonne & à bas prix. Le service est correct, mais la serveuse ne parlait qu'anglais donc un peu difficile à commander. Stationnement limité dans les rues adjacentes
Killer Butter Chicken!!!! We tried the lamb curry also & it was fantastic. They don't provide rice or naan with the meal so keep that in mind when ordering. We didn't know but had rice at home so made some basmati there. We did order garlic naan to eat with & one was enough for the portion of curry. Seriously though... the butter chicken we think the best we've ever had... wish the portion was a little more but that's us drooling & wanting left overs! Take out was fast, we ordered online & it was ready before the online portal said.
They have a very interesting menu that includes several dishes that are less common & worth trying. Surprisingly, everything was very sweet. That's something I expected with dishes that use coconut, but definitely not in dahl makhani!

I asked for spicy butter chicken but it might've been the creamiest, mildest butter chicken I've ever had. It tasted yummy but lacked complexity or intensity.
