The food is decent. The take out experience is decent. The location is convenient. The prices are high for what you get. I dont think id ever plan to come here but I also wouldnt regret coming here. read more

The food is decent and the lunchtime buffet is a very good value. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of this place has swayed me from returning. The bathrooms were filthy, the walls were dusty and dirty, the carpet was gross, and even the "clean" plates looked grimy. You can also see through the divider windows into the kitchen and the kitchen didn't look at all clean. I can't in good conscience take a chance on going back and potentially getting sick. read more

We're always happy with everything when we come here. I can't claim to be a connoisseur of Indian food but everything is delicious, the service is excellent, the Indian movies streamed on TV are entertaining, and we always leave satisfied! read more

The food is very good. They always get the mango lassies right. And they bring my order on time and my table is clean. My waiter was yapping about her husband being too far from her, and she was very sweet. 5 stars. read more

Ordered Chicken Vindaloo and food was very tasty with correct species and spicy level. Will definitely order take out again soon. Only 4 stars because I missed their lunch buffet! Owner: if you are reading this today there were 1 couple eating in the entire restaurant while before Covid with buffet we often times had to wait to get in! read more

This is my first visit to this place and we a bunch of 9 friends had gone for the Holi party hosted here .. when we arrived we were disappointed looking at the size of the tent and heaters. .since it seemed small.. n the line for food was pretty long.. more challenging was trying to find a place to sit n eat.. having around 250 intake for the event it seemed extremely cringing .. all this set my expectations pretty low. We first went for the food and somehow managed to get a table of 6 for 9 of us n since we were ready to adjust it was manageable.. the food was quite impressive...so that boosted out energy by a bit.. few items were over around 1 30 itself but still we had few items that we could savour n eat.. like biriyani rice , kheer, chicken curry, goat curry, naan, palak corn etc etc. Next was the color fest celebration!! We went with no expectations n somehow the space worked out just fine .. there were ppl goin in n out of the tent playing or running around so those who wanted to stay inside had room to do so.. There was music n if you're there to have fun..all that matters with who u go with .. the heaters I'm not sure if they were working but due to the crowd it did not feel that cold .. If u are fine with the Holi congestion from India I'm sure you can enjoy the same atmosphere on a small scale here and yes if u have fun ppl around it's gonna be fun anyway.. it's just powder colors so don't expect anything more than that or bhaang n all.. well if yo abroad n if yo in this east coast this is definitely something better.. Just go with the right ppl on such events .. Suggestions: restrooms can be better maintained for such events .. there were no napkins.. imagine no napkins on an event like this where everyone have to drive back home.. for the amount charged u can definitely keep an unlimited supply of napkins n maybe in multiple counters.. thanks for the spitoons .. read more

Bollywood Grill - Indian Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

More of a 3.5 from me but I'll round up because the server kindly took my mango lassi off the bill because there wasn't enough to fill the glass (it was about 80% full so I still got a good amount). I came here once many years ago and I wasn't impressed. Both the food and service were lackluster. However I was craving Indian food one night and decided to give this place another try. It was much better this time. I like the Bollywood theme of the restaurant, which is shown by the menu sections and the old photos hanging on the wall. The lighting in the restaurant was dim though. I wasn't even sure if they were open when I first drove by, but they were. I think the restaurant could look a lot nicer with some sprucing up so things don't look as dated. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan because I felt like being basic. Both were good, but I felt like the portions were smaller than other Indian restaurants in the area with comparable prices. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with medium spiciness and it did have some heat, but not as much as I would have liked. Service was great and I got my food in a timely matter this time around. Servers and cooks were wearing masks and everything was very clean. read more

Solid Indian food at pretty standard prices. It isn't the best Indian I've ever had but definitely flavorful and they give you large portions read more

I ordered for pickup and they gave me very little chicken and rice, probably because it was the end of the night. The chicken korma was also dark meat read more

Lots of authentic choices, authentic Bollywood ambiance and great service! Got something I hadn't seen before and was delicious read more

Bollywood Grill - a variety of food items on a table - Indian Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Food was prepared very good with not too much hot spices (which I appreciate). Good amount of selection on the menu. Good place to go for vegetarians. Service was prompt and polite. Facility was clean and organized. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend. read more

My husband and I order from Bollywood once a week and honestly have never been disappointed! Everything is always so delicious. Highly recommend the mali koftka! The only reason I didn't give five stars was because they're really isn't much flexibility with custom order/substitutions even when willing to pay! If you've never tried it check them out and think of me when your enjoying your first bite of garlic naan :) read more

I'm not sure what's happening with this place but it's gotten worse over the years. New owners maybe? The restaurant is looking very rundown - they should look into remodeling. I'm giving them one-star because I've been getting takeout/UberEats a few times now and our orders are always messed up. One time, we were given someone else's order?! They got rid of the mixed pakora appetizers. Chicken Tikka Masala has a weird taste now. All of the naan tastes soggy and flavorless. I also hate that they are stingy with their sauces - literally the smallest sizes ever. This place has gone downhill unfortunately - they were my go-to for a very long time too. Kashmir in Salem, NH is where it's at now. read more

OK, I have a new favorite local Indian food. I usually order the same things everywhere, and Bollywood Grill hit the mark. Chicken Korma and saag, didn't disappoint. I liked their Naan (garlic). It was crispy on the outside with the soft delicious inside. I must say, their Peshwari sweet Naan, is the best anywhere. No kidding. read more

Very good food. We went on Sunday night and only one guy was managing the best he could for servings and takeouts. Staff shortage. So the wait was a little longer but the quality was very good. Basmati Rice Tandoori chicken Dal makhani read more

Oh my goodness! I had the vegetable samosas and they were delicious, also ate Yalta Daal with Rogini naan all equally delicious. If you're looking for authentic Indian food at a reasonable price then you've found the spot! read more

Very delicious food! Would recommend a Friday after work or a Saturday late brunch. Great customer service and oh did I mention how delicious the food was? Wink read more

Bollywood Grill - three plates of food on a table - Indian Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

Given the location of this restaurant (in a Market Basket strip mall), there was an amazing amount of space. The waiter helped us find some mild dishes for our first Indian food experience. He was a bit soft spoken, but attentive. You can see the cooks working through a large window rolling dough and prepping other fare in the rear - kind of neat! The bathrooms were clean. The food was all good and well priced. I would certainly bring guests here. My only complaint is that the decor looks very tired and could use some updating. I plan to come back soon! read more

While driving along I-495 on a sunny Tuesday, I stopped off at the Bollywood Grill in North Andover for the Lunch Buffet, which was priced at $9.95 plus tax (on Mon-Thurs). I arrived here around 12:30 PM and I was promptly seated near the buffet. On my visit, the buffet was stocked with around 20 items including chicken tandoori, chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, mattar paneer, chicken korma, zeera rice, naan, chicken pakoras, vegetable pakoras, raita, salad (lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber, red onions), basmati rice, vegetable biryani, chutneys, and badami kheer. The food on the buffet was pretty good with several dishes tasting spicy. The vegetable biryani and chicken tikka masala were my favorite main dishes. The vegetable pakoras were chewy and the chicken pakoras were crispy outside. The dessert (badami kheer) rice pudding was sweet and refreshing with a creamy, not too milky texture with cardamom, raisins, sliced almonds, and rose water. The service was adequate and my used dishes were cleared between trips. The lunch buffet was very filling and a good way to try several Indian dishes and items at a reasonable price. read more

I don't know what has taken me so long to write a review of Bollywood Grill. We've now eaten there at least a dozen times--both for dinner and for the lunch buffet--since our maiden visit this past December. Since discovering Bollywood, we have not returned to Passage to India in Salem or Anmol in Beverly. Yeah, it's located in a strip mall on the Lawrence/North Andover line, but all I must say about that is don't judge a book by its cover. And one of the virtues of the strip mall location is parking is not an issue. Our "go to" entree dishes thus far have been the Special Goat Curry (#1), Lamb Tikka Kebab, Chicken Vindaloo, Chicken Narattan, and Lamb Balti. For the veggies, we've enjoyed the Novratana Korma (mixed veg), Baingan Bharta (eggplant), Shaahi Bhindi (okra), Dhingri Dulma (mushrooms and cheese), and Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese). We've also tried the Special Goat Biryani, which was delightfully spicy and flavorful, but ordering a rice dish on top of the basmati rice that is already served felt like we had a little too much rice on the table. Another plus is that the food is perfectly seasoned. I've never once left feeling that I needed to drink a gallon of water to dilute the excess salt that's often in restaurant food. On our very first trip, we did try the Combo Platter, just to compare the offerings to Passage to India and Anmol, and we felt the Bollywood version was fresher and lighter. We've since skipped appetizers so we can add a second entree along with a veg dish (perfect for 2 adults and 1 child) to complement the basmati rice as well as a couple of orders of naan (usually one Rogini and one Garlic). Whenever we want to go out to eat and we're looking for hearty, healthy family-style fare, Bollywood is always in the running. read more

I'm new to Indian food, I'll only go with friends who know what to order. But this place on the North Andover/Lawrence line is great! I just found out that there is one in Shrewsbury too. SO CLEAN!! And the staff is very attentive. Your water glass can barely get below half full when someone appears to fill it up again. The onion nan bread is delish, all the nan bread excellent, and they have about 8 different kinds to try. The pistachio chicken and veggie simosas are wonderful too. The decor is very pretty, modern and clean, all of the tables have pictures of Bollywood movie stars on them in black and white, and the bathrooms are gorgeous. Stop by, the Bollywood Grill is a great place to ease yourself into trying different kinds of food. read more

Delicious food, friendly and professional staff and you definitely get good portions for the price you pay. I've tried a lot of what they have to offer on their menu and you can't go wrong with any selection. Wonderful takeout and dine in experience!! read more

Great place. Don't listen to the bad reviews. I came here on a whim during a business trip and I wasn't disappointed. Naan was delicious and the saag with chicken was not too greasy (like a lot of places), and not too salty. Flavor was just right. Service was attentive and food was fresh. read more

Yelp, you really never lie, do you? Bollywood Grill is precisely four stars worth of restaurant. I snuck in before the Second Snowmageddon of the Winter and the spacious restaurant had about a dozen other brave souls sitting down to meals inside. Both the service (friendly and engaging without being overbearing) and the ambiance (they really embrace the Bollywood name) were memorably positive, and coupled with my hunger, prepared me for the feast. And a feast it was - rich, flavorful chicken tikki masala and palak paneer, piping hot garlic naan and chicken pakoras. Everything was fresh, the spices popped and I left full. So why four stars instead of five? The price. Those four items cost about $45 or so. I'd have loved it even more if everything was 10% less expensive. Still, though, you can't go wrong with Bollywood Grill. It's a gem in North Andover. read more

I really liked the lunch buffet. $10 for all the Indian food you can eat. Sure, you don't get the most expensive stuff, but the selection, quantity, and quality make up for it. Service was what you'd expect for a buffet - they ask you if you want something to drink, clear the dirty plates away, and stay out of the way. The decor was good but the buffet seems like it's in the darkest part of the restaurant. The open kitchen is good looking and clean. The only thing that will keep me from being a regular at the Bollywood Grill is its location. If it was closer, I'd go back regularly and try entrees that aren't part of the buffet. But it's in North Andover so I won't get back there much, even though i want to. read more

Bollywood Grill - Indian Near Me - North Andover, Massachusetts

This place never disappoints. I have been going to Bollywood Grill for a few months and every time their food is super fresh, different options to choose from - my favorite is their Chicken 65 - and the place is really busy during lunch time for their buffet. Highly recommended! read more

My sister and I love adventuring to new places. Even thought they are not a new place, it was to us. Service was great. Basil Nan by far the best Nan yet! Lamb Tikka Kebab is absolutely tender and the spices are top notch. Kashmir Rogan Josh...OMG tender Lamb with spices served sizzling with onions and peppers. Honestly, I am so full I wish I could try dessert. Can't wait to bring our Mom. read more

This is one of the most underrated restaurant I have seen. The food is great. I haven't seen lot of people in this huge space but I've been coming here or ordering from here from past 4 years and have never been disappointed. I've always been there in evening so don't know much about their buffet. read more

This is hands down my favorite Indian food in the area! I've gone in for dinner and ordered take out plenty of times. The quality of the food is always amazing and I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Formerly a five-star Indian food experience for us (the best in the entire Merrimack River Valley, and that includes two in Newburyport), the past six months has seen a remarkable decline. Not a gradual one. A depressingly steep one. We love the front of house people. Friendly, helpful, precise, service oriented. That's where all three stars come from. We've grown familiar with several of them, having spent thousands here over the past ten years. They're all wonderful! But since, oh I don't know, maybe last fall (2016) the food quality has done a 180 degree turnaround. Sauces now seem cut with water - much looser, runny on the plate, and not as rich. Cuts of meat seem one grade cheaper. New chef perhaps, or new cost cutting measures? It has taken all the enjoyment out of our weekend ritual. I hope they go back to their previous recipes, which were nothing short of spectacular. We're running out of amazing Indian food experiences in this region! read more

Thought I'd give Bollywood another try. In general I was disappointed in my experience. The first part was the decor--looking tired with worn/torn high top chairs by the register, old (not quaint) door, and a stale smell by the checkout area. Service was okay but the employee was apologetic when I asked for my change (almost .80 cents) when I paid in cash. Not a long wait, which was a relief because I was hungry. But not a lot of flavor in the Palak Paneer. Not sure what was missing. It was fine but not great. Good paneer! Still, I've enjoyed better in another local Indian spot. My Nan was warm but doughy. The combination of these things...disappointed me. read more

Just back from the place. Used to be good. Terrible Arabi tikki. Chicken 65 was more of food coloring. The goat curry was ok. Basmati rice was good...guess one cannot mess that up. To top it all, there was a violent Hindi movie playing loudly ...movie very kid unfriendly. They had made the ambience like a dump with that sound. Some music would have been better. Service also not great...no check in on water. read more

I won't say it's the best indian cuisine I've ever had, but for a reasonable price of $9.99 lunch buffet, the food was good, plenty of choices, cheap price, it's worth to dine in here. by the way, my husband and I are back here for dinner take-out, the prices are of course different(much expensive because it's dinner) I will update you. read more

Wow!! So good!! This was my first time ordering from here. I ama a vegetarian and always have the hardest time finding take out with anything more than salad options for vegetarians. So many vegetarian options and the options were so clearly labeled! And the food was so good! Seriously highly recommend.

I love Indian food. And every time I've been here I've been pleasantly surprised at how good the food tastes. I am at the buffet today and they have a variety of dishes and rice that are cooked perfectly and taste wonderful. Having some southern Indian specialities that are superb to go along with the traditional dishes. read more

I decided to try the Bollywood Grill for a change of pace and boy am I glad I did. I poured the Tandoori Shrip over their Basmati Rice and oh what a great combination that was. The Shrimp were more plump and juicy than I expected and putting them over a bed of Basmati Rice hit the spot. The Garlic Bread was Excellent. I Highly Recomend Bollywood Grill at the North Andover Mall. read more

Showed up 15mins prior to their afternoon closing and was denied service. I walked in during business hours, I should have been sat and served. Business must be that good to turn away a paying customer, shame! To the owner, get a better grip on your employees and management. read more

Food is good. Went relatively early but the buffet doesn't seem to be refilled- chicken masala was mostly sauce no chicken. Other stuff was really good. read more

Wow this place is a pure joke. Service was horrendous, and the buffet was horrible. Went there today around 2 and place had a few people in it. Asked for a soda and they bring me water. The buffet had nothing , all was empty. Made us wait 20 mins so they can bring out for food. Waste of time and money. Never again I will come back here. read more
