Best Indian I've had in Milwaukee. It's pretty empty in here for dinner, which my husband finds unsettling, but I like knowing there is somewhere we can always get a table on a Friday night downtown. Sadly, that doesn't seem to translate to faster service, but whatever, it's Friday and there are Bollywood videos to keep you entertained. They have Gobi Manchuriann, which is really all that matters. I don't find the 'very spicy' to be very spicy, but I do find it to be very good. read more

The food is really good and I enjoy it every time I go there. Their buffet is from 3 to 5 and it's $13 which is perfect because it gets you full and the varieties are always intriguing! The staff is friendly and helpful when you ask them to explain what the dish is and always welcome you with a smile! One note to the owner though, not every brown girl is from Saudi! If you have so many customers from that country you don't have to make the assumption that all brown people are from there! I could be from your own people you know!! It gets annoying when someone assumes something based on nothing, he didn't even ask me if I were from there! My credit card didn't work for some reason so he asked me if my card was from my country Saudi! What now?? That honestly pissed me off! But I didn't wanna make a scene in front of my friend whom I brought to specifically try Indian food!! Anyways, the food is impeccable there! read more

We live in Shorewood and order from this place once a mth or once every other mth. Only place we get Indian food. Bobby is always our delivery guy and always has a smile. The delivery time does take about an hr. But they make us aware and we plan ahead. Recommend it read more

I strongly prefer Bollywood over Maharaja. The prices are good; the food is good; the atmosphere is energizing, fun, and true to the restuarant's name. Bollywood Grill is my favorite Indian place in Milwaukee. Their lunch buffet is probably the best I've personally experienced and also a great value. Overall, I highly recommend it! read more

Been here a few times before, mostly take out. Food is pretty good, but my reason for the one star is purely because of their customer service. Went there with my girlfriend and my mom that was in from out of town. Their website says they stop seating at 3:30 pm, we were inside at 3:20 and they did want to seat us. They said we can do the buffet but when we looked at the buffet, it was completely empty and they were not going to refill it. If you close at 3:30 seat until 3:30, if you are so well off that you don't need any more business, change your hours and close at 3:00. I will never go back to this place, plenty of good Indian restaurants in Milwaukee. read more

Avoid this place: *2 hours to get food delivered to nearby hotel * cold food in delivery bag had spilled all over * no cutlery * restaurant attempted to conceal bland taste by excessive hot spice read more

Ordered the paneer tikka and egg biryani. Paneer tikka was not cooked. The marinade was still raw. Every other time I've ordered this from any other Indian restaurant, the paneer is slightly crisped from the oven/grill and the marinade is always cooked. The egg biryani was slightly better. They took a simple biryani with good flavor and added boiled egg. read more

Bollywood Grill - Undercooked Paneer Tikka - Indian Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Was craving a little Indian this weekend while out running errands and grabbed some food to go...it was surprisingly great when I got home and reheated well later! I would absolutely return - lots of street parking was available and it was just perfectly hidden away out of the business of downtown. read more

Truthfully, Ambience does not really go along with the name. It is very average indian restaurant, even worse when it comes to food. We ordered samosa chaat which usually comes with cooked chickpeas and yoghurt and other spicy sauces. A- it was 30% more expensive than usual. B- had no flavor and was the most dry samosa chat ever. C-samosa was not well fried so tasted uncooked. Even the gobi manchurian was a little dry on flavor. Never going there again. read more

Great delivery and pick up - super tasty samosa chaat, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, veggie korma, and naan!

I have dined at my share of Indian restaurants throughout the world, I can honestly say that none can compare to the service and amazing flavors and freshness that Bollywood has to offer! I cannot say enough about this restaurant and the individuals who work there, I love every experience I have a Bollywood. You will not be sorry when you try this Indian restaurant read more

Ok food and nice people. We had the lamb vindaloo and saag paneer. I had rated it higher but my second trip back the counter guy tried to charge me a 100% tip which he fixed after I raised it to him and the food was waayy spicy; much more then our first time there. I ordered medium but ate it anyway read more

I initially gave a good rating but I would like to change it to one star or maybe even lower than that... the restaurant served us a stale chicken curry.... and when we told the server about it he wasn't apologetic or anything but he was ready to get another chicken curry as if he knew it that yes the curry was stale Also we ordered two biryanis one chicken and one veggie... and both the biryanis were nothing but stale pulaw ... Lastly the waiter was very rude when we asked him to change the messy plates read more

We went there around 12:30 pm, prime time for buffet. The host/waiter was nice and provided good service. It is divided into two rooms and it was quite full. Let's talk about food. Few of the items like chicken curry ans Chilli chicken were cold. Parathas was not warm enough and chewy. Chole bhatore and gulab jamoon were really good. As some of the reviews suggest, gulab jamoon were like a soft tofu! Overall, Its was okay food as we had too much expectations for a buffet. read more

Extremely well managed restaurant. The food was excellent. There was a fairly loud party going on in an adjoining room & the owner actually came over to our table to check & see if the noise was bothering us. A very thoughtful thing to do. The music was not bad actually & we were enjoying it, so it was cool. Highly recommended. read more

Love this place. As an Indian, I always recommend this place to those who want to try Indian food. They offer a large variety of different food which is great. Amazing and kind staff as well! read more

Good Indian food and great customer service. The seating area is good and clean. However the front desk area seems to be little messy. Please fix it and you will truly be a 5-star place! read more

we have been ordering from Bollywood Grill for almost 7 years and their food is always the best quality, fresh, rich and full of flavor. our all-time favorite is their butter chicken and lamb biryani. Best tasting Indian Food in the area! read more

I took my mom here for her birthday, it was a nice dining room setting with awesome food. Our server was very attentive and never allowed us to have our drinks empty. The food was amazing, we each tried different dishes. The appetizer onion bjiha was amazing! read more

We are regulars at the B. grill. The best Indian food and hospitality in WI. We love it. Excellent menu, choices and taste. read more

Best genuine Indian (Panjabi) food in Milwaukee. Very cordial & helpful staff. I was in Milwaukee, USA for around 10 months away from family who were in India, Got monthly package and got homely food at very affordable rate, Thank you Bollywood Grill ! read more

This place is amazing. The staff is awesome and the food is some of the best in Milwaukee. You won't be disappointed!

The chicken shashlik was very bland. The lentil soup was watery. The Josh Rogan was good. The samosa was a decent but I definitely would not eat here again. read more

Our favorite Indian food in the city. Life was super busy last year so we took advantage of their buffet on Thanksgiving. It was fantastic. We're going back for Thanksgiving this year! read more

I don't think I've ever before eaten Indian/South Asian food that has left me feeling dissatisfied before this. I decided to order from here instead of some other places I've had good experiences with because the reviews were similar and the delivery fee was cheaper. With a limited budget for dining out, I'm experiencing regret in choosing Bollywood over other Indian and South Asian restaurants in the area. The samosas were good (is there even such a thing as a bad samosa?) but the aloo gobhi and mutter mushroom (ordered medium, for reference) were completely bland and dry with very little sauce and had a vaguely unpleasant taste. Doctored up with a significant amount of salt (not a big salt consumer here) and hot sauce, it's sort of edible, but altogether depressing. read more

I have lived in San Francisco for 50 years and I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the Bay Area but on my annual visits to Milwaukee,I always find that Bollywood on the city's east side serves wonderfully delicious food in a comfortable and hospitable atmosphere.I love the place as do my friends and often we go there nightly.Bollywood sets high standards and I'll return often.

Dined here for the first time. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Group of six, tried two appetizers, three types of bread and several entrees. Would definitely come again. read more

With the change to Maharaja's menu, I was in serious Lamb Masala withdrawal. Then comes along Bollywood Grill, making everything whole again. I live less than a block from here and walk past ~2x a day with the dog, and this building has always been empty. I'm happy to see something take up this space, adding a little more life to Jackson street. The service was slow given that there weren't very many people here, but overall it didn't break the experience. The menu has many options that I want to try. I ordered a side of garlic naan with my entree and it was fantastic! Garlicky and warm and chewy. When I first got my lamb masala, it didn't come with a side of rice. Usually at Indian restaurants the side of rice is a given, but I figured that Bollywood was different and served everything a la carte. However, someone came over to fill my water and then promptly returned with a bowl of rice. Perhaps she noticed that I was missing rice and took it upon herself to get me some? So, I'm not sure if rice is included or not, but I think so. And I am appreciative that she noticed I was missing rice and went out of her way to get it for me, even though she wasn't our server. She should have gotten some of the tip. Final word: I'll be back, and I'll have the inevitable struggle of "do I try something new?" vs "how could I possibly get anything other than lamb masala?" read more

Second Visit: Decided to try it again since the food was pretty good. Out of 5 dishes, three were ordered mild. All of the dishes came out medium (and they are heavy handed with the spice). In fairness out waiter said he was new but he should have had them remake the dishes as soon as he realized his error. read more

With a hankering for some Butter Chicken and some help from Yelp! we discovered this gem on a slow Tuesday night and it did not disappoint. The butter chicken was flavorful and rivaled my favorite place from back home. I asked to have the spice amped up and they did not hold back! I will definitely be back. read more

I really wanted to love this place but I just can't. My fiancé and I decided to order from the highest rated Indian restaurant in Milwaukee and we had the worst butter chicken/chicken makhani we've ever had. The vegetable pakoras were good and had a nice kick of spice to them but the chicken makhani was irredeemable. It was extremely watered down and so bland that spaghetti-os have more flavor. It was like eating nothing it was so flavorless and spiceless. Super disappointing. Also the meals just came with rice in your standard white box and the rest of the meal in a plastic tub filled to the brim. We didn't have any way to eat our food so we had to go ask the front desk who didn't have any, then the lounge who didn't have any and finally found some takeout boxes at Miller Pub. If you're staying in a hotel keep this in mind. read more

We were big fans of the owner's prior restaurant, Mayura and we were thrilled to find the same exceptional quality and a much more elegant ambiance. Wonderful service. Our kids love the buffet. Also a great new party room. read more

This was the absolute worst indian food, that I have EVER had. We eat a LOT of indian food so I was excited to try this place while visting Milwaukee. We had a group on 16 and several people who had never had indian, and I doubt they will try it again based on this experience. I wont even really make a big deal about the service which was very poorly timed(entrees arrived with some people waiting a long time for the accompying bread or rice so they couldnt eat at all and food got cold). The young guys bringing the food were really doing their best, so I wont dwell on it since the food wasnt worth eating anyway. To focus on the food, all I can say is I order Malai Kufta once a week and have never experienced anything like this. There was no cream base at all. The closest thing I can liken it to is a sweet potato puree with some very soggy vegetable patties. And this wasnt a vegetarian place, so I cannot understand the lack on cream base in any of the dishes that required it. Even the Tikka Masala was some thin overly sweet gravy without any hint of cream. And the consistency was so weird in everything. I dont know how this place got such good reviews unless there arent many indian places in MKE. And they were expensive which would have been fine if the food was good, but with such dissapointing flavors and textures it was really shameful especially when they saw several items completely untouched. This was one of those meals that ruined my whole day. It was that bad. At least we go home tomorrow and we can get some real indian food. read more

Very impressive for a new Indian Restaurant trying to make it as a Banquet Hall and still keep the restaurant atmosphere relaxing. Speaking to the manager/part owner was delightful. He has a great personality and don't be afraid to ask for culinary recommendations. Four of us shared 2 appetizers including the mixed platter. We also had 3 entrees including curry goat, lamb biryani, and chicken masala. hopefully, those are spelled correctly. Everything was excellent and the spice was medium to light which was perfect for our tastes. Hot enough to make me eat slowly. We will all be returning for dinner in the next month. I would even bring any Indian friend to Bollywood Grill. Parking is available in the garage on Jackson and Juneau entering on the Jackson side. We walked there which is even better. read more

Horrible, horrible food. I don't know if it's because I placed an order for food just prior to them closing at 3? But I placed an order of chana masala and a meat platter at noon to be picked up 2 pm. Food was not ready at 2. The description of the platter indicated chicken, fish, seekh kabob and a papad. There were 4 small pieces of dried out seekh kabob and overly oily pieces of fried catfish. Nothing else. No chicken, no papad, no taste. It was thrown into a styrofoam container with a lemon slice and onion slices. The chana, I mean, how can you mess that up? It's a vegetarian dish. Again, no taste. It was an unsalted curry base, probably used for most of the dishes made there, with garbanzo beans thrown in. You can't call this food even Americanized Indian food. Definitely will NEVER order from this restaurant again. Save your money, pick up an uncomplicated Indian cookbook from Barnes and nobles. Even a novice to Indian cooking will produce something better than what I purchased. read more

Probably worst indian food ever had. All the items had baking soda, no flavor and taste in the dishes, very few non veg appetizers. I would not recommend this place to any of my indian friends. I wonder how they got 3-4 star reviews... read more

Lots of reviews so not much new to say. Buffet is very nice...goat, chicken, tandoori, rice, naan etc. nothing new or extravagant but solid.

No comparison in buffet...single place for those looking for veg n chicken options.......i tested everywhere but this is unique n best...they also give cash back if paying cash... read more
