Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Hot and crispy vegetable fritters - pakodas. Sizzling lamb seekh kebabs. Yellow Fisk curry with mahi mahi in a tasty and subtly spiced curry. Naan and rice are included with the entrees. The server was really nice too. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

You'd never expect to find food of this caliber tucked away in a small shopping center, but this restaurant is proof that some of the best dining experiences are found where you least expect them. The menu offers an impressive variety, and everything I've tried has been consistently delicious, well prepared, and full of flavor. It's easy to understand why it has become a neighborhood favorite, along with those of us fortunate enough to discover it from a little farther away. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality, and the daily specials make an already great value even better. Great food, great value, and consistently good execution. This is exactly the kind of hidden gem food lovers hope to find! read more

OK a few things. 1. Their naan is the shit. (i.e. it's good!) 2. I asked how hot the East Indian Curry was and they offered me a sample of the curry base! Who does that? 3. The curry itself was delicious. (She said it was "not very spicy," and she was right! But it also wasn't bland.) 4. There was plenty of it. 5. If you're used to tons of rice, maybe order extra? But seriously, the naan is super filling. 6. They have an open chutney bar the way The Taco Stand does salsa. It was also quite good. Quick service. Nice ambiance; you can just sit outside and enjoy the weather and the people. read more

Been going here with my family since I was a child. By far our favorite Indian restaurant in San Diego! There have been a LOT of restaurants that have come and gone through the years in this area, but this little gem has survived it all, and for good reason! Chef Zubin is always so generous, kind and genuine too. The service was what made it extra special, he recognized and greeted us always. The food is always fresh and so flavorful, we have never had a bad meal here. I stop in when I can as an adult now, when I visit this part of town. Zubin still recognizes and greets me with a smile and asks how I'm doing. read more

Okay look. We gotta talk. I live 2 minutes from this place. I could throw a stone and hit it. I have lived 2 mins from this place for TEN YEARS!!!!! And one of my life's biggest regrets will absolutely be that I didn't spend my last 10 years eating here. The food is MIND BLOWING!!! Mind blowing. Their combo meals are a variety girlies dream. You get to choose 3 curry's and they're perfectly portioned. So far I've had (and I'm rating them from my fav fav fav down to my also fav but maybe just a tiny bit less fav) Aloo vindaloo Paneer karahi Chicken korma Chicken Tikkka Masala Oh and Don't sleep on the onion naan. Don't sleep at all. Ever. Just stay awake and eat here for the rest of your lives. And while I have heavily spoken of the food, the place itself is convenient with a giant parking lot. It's adorable. The owners are so sweet. You can not lose here. Go. Now. And I apologize for the less than quality pic. I can't even get myself to do a proper photoshoot before I literally smash my face into the plastic container and consume the food through my pores. read more

I came here for dinner with friends on a Wednesday evening, and it was not busy. We started with the Fried Garlic Cauliflower, which was a letdown for me (2/5). It lacked flavor and was slightly soggy. For my main dish, I ordered the Goa Style Garlic Chicken. It came with rice, cabbage, and naan bread, and I upgraded to the garlic naan. The chicken was breaded and served with a spicy garlic dipping sauce, which I enjoyed (4/5). The garlic naan had a pleasant garlic flavor, though it didn't stand out too much (3/5). Service was good overall. Our server was friendly and checked on us often. read more

This has been a staple in my life, but I've never gone until this year. I've passed this and smelled the food hundreds of times and finally went in. My word is it delicious.

It's really hard for me to rate an Indian cuisine, but I thought it was good. I ordered the 3 combo, Tikka masala, keema and vegetarian mango curry, and it came with garlic naan. And I don't know what else to say but I liked it. I did think Tikka masala had far more complex flavor than the other two so that was my favorite. read more

We ordered meat samosas and grilled pineapple coconut curry with chicken. Both we fresh and hot. The fried shell of the samosas was crisp but not oily. The curry was sweet and flavorful. The chicken was tender and juicy. And the rice was fresh and buttery. Great service too! read more

Wow, so incredibly surprised and pleased at this place! Such good food and such nice service. I've never been here before, but saw it here on yelp.

A meal is more than just food, it's a feeling. And here at Bombay Coast the chef/owner went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Food was delicious & there was a good variety of dishes to try from. We enjoyed everything we ordered - especially the seasonal dishes like the eggplant chaat! Additionally, a member in our group had a gluten allergy (celiacs) and the chef/all the staff was very knowledgeable & accommodating and we felt very comfortable eating here. We will be back! read more

Right when I walked in the gentleman who was up front was warm and welcoming. He helped me switch up what I usually get and it was SO tasty and fresh. I ended up getting the chicken biryani as well as the roasted red pepper hummus that came with garlic naan. Both of them were so so good and full of flavor, not the mention the portion size was plenty. He even offered me a side of chicken masala sauce since that's my usual go to and that was amazing as well. I can't say enough good things! read more

My lady and I went there for lunch today since we happened to be in the area. Don't let the fact that it is a small restaurant in an open mall food "court" keep you from trying it. When we were there, the place wasn't crowded and the service was excellent. Our meal started with a shared order of the Meat Samosas. They are large and flavorful without being overly greasy. The filling is tasty and the wrapper has a satisfying crispness. We both decided on the Kheema Sali (which does not appear on the website's menu) from the Bombay Bites section. They are a new addition and one I hope becomes permanent. These are the Indian version of build-it-yourself sliders and, in both our opinions, are excellent: 2 large toasted slider buns and far more than enough filling to build more. Everything was properly prepared with the right hint of spicy and interwoven flavors that makes Indian food so good (when it's done right). I'm sure we will be back next time we are in the area around lunchtime. read more

For me the best indian cuisine in town. Affordable! Delicious fresh prepared. Chef is always friendly and welcoming . Coming almost every week due to its delicuous food. read more

Per usual, delicious food and fantastic service from owner/chef Zubin. Being right on the fountain is great for outdoor eating. Tonight we had the mango chicken masala, kofta curry, mutter paneer, and more. Each dish was better than the last. I wish we could move this restaurant from Clairemont to North Park! read more

Indian cuisine is not as familiar to me as Mexican or Japanese food, but it is a more popular choice of late. I usually stop in here for their lunch special which is a pretty good deal. I usually leave full with some naan to munch on later in the day. Unlike other restaurants I have tried, their lunch special is 3 different entrees, rice, and naan. Most places I have tried only offer 2 entrees with their lunch special. The entree options include both vegan and not-vegan. Non-vegan dishes are mostly chicken but offer one lamb dish. The portions are of decent size. Indoor and outdoor dining are available. Service is good. Located in the Clairmont Mesa Mall, plenty of parking is available. Bathrooms are shared with other restaurants are located on the far end via a door code available from the host. read more

OMG!!!! this place is a gem!!! We have been going to the square to eat but never tried this place, what a mistake. The food was absolutely delicious, it was almost plate licking good!!! I had the special Malal Chicken Curry, it was so good, My partner had the Chicken Tikka Masala and she agreed also that it was sooo good. There was some bread served with both meals and they were to die for!!! The wait staff was attentive, we were checked on many times and asked if we needed anything. They offer outside and inside seating. We chose outside, they do have heaters if needed. Beware the serve some domestic beer and import, to include wine. We had a glass of Pinot Grigio and White Zinfandel. They also offer Military discount!!! So if your ever in the square area and looking for some delicious Indian food, try it you may just like it. read more

Happen to check out their Bombay section of the menu and it got me curious! I've eaten a decent vada pav in the US and am always on a search for a good one but a good pav bhaji has always evaded me! Till now! This is a review of only the stuff I ate - which is not typical Indian restaurant in the US stuff. I'll definitely go back to have some entrees and update the review then. Kheema pav - Damn near perfect. The touch with the sali gives you a nostalgic trip to an irani cafe in Bombay. Vada Pav - Almost as good as ive eaten in this country. One suggestion to elevate it is adding the powdered garlic chutney to it! Wanted to get some from home and add it to make it perfect! Pav bhaji - After a long time I got something that resembles the Bombay pav bhaji in look and taste. We ordered it medium but it was decently spicy. The pavs were also toasted and buttered to perfection. Id gladly come back to this place once in a while just for these 3 but I'm very curious now about the rest of their menu especially since there are very atypical options compared to the typical Indian restaurant. read more

I'm so excited, while I will certainly make a drive for some good Indian Food - I recently discovered a close and delicious option. While hitting up the Clairemont Square with my wife we made a solid decision - we dinned at Bombay Coast. One of the best decisions for dinner as it's now one our regular routines. The atmosphere is always comfortable. Both indoor and outdoors. While the outdoor dinning is nice and there is a heating lamp. I would recommend indoor dinning during the colder months. We've had some wonderful dinners here. The staff is always helpful - and seems to always go the extra mile. My wife usually gets the Chicken Yellow Curry and I go with the Chicken Tiki Masala with Garlic Naan Bread. So many flavors and the spice levels are always perfect. I would totally recommend hitting up Bombay Coast - the Garlic Naan is a must. read more

Food service ambiance. All great. Have been eating there for years because the food is so good.

If you're looking for amazing Indian food in Clairemont, Bombay Coast is a must-visit. The owner is not only a genuinely kind and welcoming person, but also an incredibly talented cook--and it really shows in every dish. The food is consistently delicious, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our absolute favorite is the chicken tikka masala--it's rich, perfectly spiced, and easily one of the best we've had. Every visit has been a great experience, both because of the quality of the food and the warm hospitality. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic, comforting Indian cuisine! read more

We LOVE Bombay Coast for many reasons. The owner, Zubin, is so welcoming and kind. The food is delicious. Our go to items are the lamb korma, chicken tikka masala, and mango chicken masala. Most recently we tried the veg samosa chaat which was so flavorful. We often do takeout at Bombay Coast, but don't sleep on the opportunity to dine in or on the patio, which is dog friendly. So, if you find yourself craving delicious Indian Food, please give Bombay Coast a try! read more

Excellent food excellent service they treat you like family. I was in town to visit my daughter in the military and she took me to bombay Coast Indian Cuisine. Thank you for treating me like family. We enjoyed all of the delicious food. I will return on my next visit. read more

Bland and Americanized food. I couldn't tell one dish from the other in terms of flavor. Seriously. I had the three item combo with saag paneer, butter chicken and some lamb dish. It's clear the naan is not homemade and the raita tasted like they took vanilla yogurt and watered it down. Even their chutneys were bland. If you're looking for authentic Indian food, this is not the place. read more

Excellent lamb curry with four huge pieces of crispy and chewy naan bread and rice and salad and a veggie samosa .

Excited to try the lamb shank next time!! read more

The portions of the food are great and if you order chicken tiki masala, it comes with nan. Which is a nice surprise because you usually have to purchase on the side. The masala however is definitely a bit bland, doesn't taste very authentic and lacks the spices it requires to be true Indian food. The Nan is fluffier than ur typical Nan, but still good. Service was great, very kind employees. read more

The fresh hot flavors of mamas home cooking from Bombay. Delivery service was quick and items were hot. The aromas of lemon and curry and garlic blended together with chicken.

Not sure about the last two reviews because we ordered here from the first time yesterday and it was delicious! The nice woman up front helped me place my order since it was my first time and I'm not too familiar with Indian cuisine. She was patient and took her time explaining the different dishes. We ordered the meat samosas, tika masala, green curry and chicken goa. Everything was super flavorful, we will definitely be going back! The restaurant was clean and I appreciated the sauce bar with the different chutneys and yogurt sauces. read more

The worst I Dian food we ever had, didn't even take 2 bites. Within a bite I almost threw up. Food had no taste. Even the Naan bread didn't have flavor. Never been to a restaurant where not even 1 item was eat able. Do not recommend d this place for food. Service was great, the server was pleasant but never going back again. read more

A wonderful restaurant and highly recommend Bombay Coast! I placed a catering order and Chef Zubin was an absolute pleasure from placing the order to delivery. The food was very tasty, and the team enjoyed the lunch. One of the favorites was the Chicken Tikka Masala as well as the vegetarian dish. We will definitely be ordering soon. read more

My Fav Indian restaurant. I come here often for comfort food as its next to my home. And they offer mild options, which I prefer. This time I came for dinner at 8pm on a Saturday and got: Ginger chicken: really nice and fresh taste. A bit sweet but not too sweet. Comes with plain naan and rice and small salad. Cucumber yogurt: I ordered this to balance the heat and spice level. The yogurt has onion too. Mango lassi: Not overly sweet which is rare! Thank you. The place is simple and welcoming. Not dressy, but also not loud. I always feel relaxed. The owner and rest of staff are very kind and friendly. Food took about 10 minutes. Not bad at all for a Saturday night. Parking here is kinda rough because its next to other restaurants and a movie theatre. I wont complain because its a nice walk around after food. read more
