Last night we went to Bombay Grill for my son's 21st birthday. Others in my party had lamb or chicken but I decided to go with the goat. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal! The last time I ate goat was when I was in the Middle East but it was nowhere as good as this! I ordered mine spicy and the curry sauce had just the right amount of heat. The goat was tender and the garlic nan bread was warm and delicious! The chef, who was very friendly, came out to see how we were enjoying our food and I had nothing but praise for his cooking. This was my first time at Bombay Grill and I will DEFINITELY be going back again! read more

Great rice, delicious curry. The garlic naan...mmmm. Quiet, intimate atmosphere. We endorse!

I usually read the reviews before I try a place. Of course, I did that here too, and the one comment I keyed in on was that it didn't taste like the Indian food he was used to. Well, I was talking to a friend of mine on Skype the other day who likes in Kolkata (Calcutta for you older folk) and the comment was of course it doesn't! India is a huge country. Northern Indian food tastes much different than Southern. Punjabi Indian food, of which this is a very good representation, is different too; it is Nothern India, but also includes elements of East Pakistan this is part of the historical Punjab region. Now on to the food! I went to a few of the lunch buffets. They are a great way to experience the variety of food at Bombay Grill. After the first time, I already had my favorites---the Lamb Vindaloo, a meaty curried stew with big chunks of lamb, the Vegetable Pakoras, a medley of fried veggies such as onion, potatoes, spinach and cauliflower, batter fried and served with either a red or green chutney. The delicate crunch of the veggies is really great! And this, like many dishes on the menu, is labeled there as vegan and vegetarian friendly. Chicken Tikka Masala has a nice kick to it but is not too spicy. You can always spice it up more with the chutney. The naan was fresh and tore nicely to sop up the sauce from the chicken. Finally, the Gulab Aman were little balls of sweet heaven, a perfect dessert for the end of the meal. The buffet was wonderful at the Bombay Grill. Next time I'm going to go for dinner and see what regional dishes they recommend. That is the way to learn about an area and a restaurant. I'm looking forward to learning more about the Bombay Grill. read more

Average Indian food I think it's good for getting your fix but if your from the melting pot of California like a lot of persons, it won't compare of course. Spice levels are good but definitely catered to the lack of pigment in Idaho; thus up your spice level read more

The food is AMAZING!!! Fresh and hot. Very vegan friendly. Delivery driver (Uber eats) was friendly and on time. Why 4 stars? We ordered 2 meals and received one plate and one fork. No napkins and no spoon for the soup. Delivering to our hotel where these items were limited. But again great food!!!! read more

Great food and lovely folks. Their stuffed paranthas are crisp and perfectly spiced. Really good butter paneer too.

Very nice atmosphere and quality food. The flavors were amazing, meat tender, and the side sauces were a perfect addition. I'll be back.

2 STAR SERVICE - Good Food We had not been to this restaurant in about 3 years. When we lived in the North End, this was by far our favorite Indian food restaurant in the area, never a bad experience. So for our anniversary, we decided to go back to this delicious welcoming place we knew and trusted. Everything was going well, until the snotty over entitled waiter arrived. Apparently this restaurant now allows staff to correct guests on pronunciation, so condescending and rude. The waiter was white btw, so no, I don't appreciate someone being arrogant while taking my order. Then there was the hostess, openly flirting with my husband. Asking if "HE" wanted more water. Not once did I get offered water, I had to finally set my glass out in front of her to get her to notice me. Then after the food was delivered, the waiter vanished. Did not check on us once! Not even for napkins, to go boxes, refills, or delivering the check. Instead the hostess with the crush came back to "wait" on "us", after an hour dinner I counted 15 times. She did manage to-go boxes though, which was then neutralized by her table reach, where she blocked my husband from view, in the middle of our conversation After we packed our food, we proceeded to wait 20 min for the check. No one ever came back. So, we walked up to the register and did more waiting, because the staff was all in the kitchen. When the owner came up, we had to confirm where we were sitting and what we had to eat and drink. It was all a very contrasting and interesting experience. If you are looking for delicious Indian food, look no further! Everything on the menu is flavorful and offers 4 heat levels. The naan is to die for especially when it arrives straight from the "oven". We tried the traditional hot chai tea and the flavor was something I did not expect, but loved. It was well rounded, fragrant and creamy. Curry is traditional and very flavorful, while the vegetable appetizer platter is a good starter. If you order the platter, just remember to order an extra Somoza, as it only comes with one. Sadly, if you are looking for great service, especially on a special occasion. Order to go! read more

Bombay Grill - Vegetable platter, chai teas, naan, shrimp curry and lentil curry. Food is delicious. - Indian Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I don't leave poor reviews often as I know everyone has their off nights, but I just ordered the butter chicken (spicy) and garlic naan. The naan was great. The rice was great. The butter chicken was so sweet that it literally tasted like a desert. I think someone mixed up ingredients somewhere. Inedible. It was watery as well. I had it delivered and asked for utensils and napkins - didn't get either. 30 dollars down the drain (not counting the delivery fee, that was my decision) read more

One of our favorite places to eat. We order to go for dinner often, and the lunch buffet is amazing and has great variety.

BEST food in Boise! Everything about Bombay from the food to the service is amazing every time I visit.

Good was fabulous. We ordered shrimp vindaloo mild. It was mild but yummy. We'll order medium next time. Chicken korma was very flavorful. Samosa we're great. Definitely order take from here again! read more

I was planning on having a good dinner at Bombay Grill but unfortunately that didn't happen. Their sign that they have posted on their front door says, "must have a reservation, restaurant full". So we decided to walk in and put our names on the list but we were greeted with a disgruntled gentleman and rudely said they only accept reservations. When clearly 3/4 of the restaurant was empty... so we decided to go to Taj Mahal and had a way better experience there, plus no reservation needed. read more

Love all the flavors bursting in every bite! My food arrived fresh and am so glad I found this spot! It's an amazing place to eat in Boise! I am very pleased with the vegetarian options. read more

Bombay Grill - Vegetable Biryani - Indian Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I have been to Bombay Grill many times for the lunch buffet, but wanted to wait until I tried them for a dinner to give them a review. I've found that some Indian restaurants rock the buffet, but fail miserably at providing a single meal and vice versa. Bombay Grill did not disappoint. Instantly treated with an appetizer and water, the waiter, Dawson helped me with any question asked. The staff and owners are also welcoming and always remember me when I come in. On the buffet you can't go wrong. For an entree, I did the medium spiced tikka masala with garlic naan as the side. It was amazing! 10/10 and will always highly recommend them. read more

Horrible buffet. All the curries were extremely sweet, some of which made us super sick, and the service was terrible. Awful food that you pay $15 a person for. read more

I think this place mostly makes money with its lunch Buffet which is great. I've been twice for dinner and the service is really clunky. Servers are not very attentive. It's got amateurish in terms of things like servers not one for you, not removing empty play settings, not clearing dishes etc. All that said the food is tasty and the prices are reasonable read more

I don't want to leave a bad review. But I tried to find somewhere to message what happened and couldn't find anywhere to do that. We booked for March 7th and showed up, paid $5 for parking only to walk in and see a sign on the door that says it's closed thru March 16th for a family trip. I think it's great that they went on a trip. However, I just wish the option to reserve at Open Table would have been turned off so we didn't waste our time and money for nothing. Hopefully we can try it sometime in the future but just some constructive criticism to maybe help with customer frustration. UPDATE: They responded very quickly after I posted my review and apologized for the mixup. Very nice people and we look forward to getting to dine here soon. :) read more

Best Indian food in Boise. I realize there aren't a ton of Indian restaurants in Boise, so this may not weigh much, but I always enjoy this place. The Idanha building is one of the coolest historic buildings in Boise, so the ambiance is great. Food is excellent and reasonably priced for downtown. Service has always been great as well. read more

We ordered on uber eats and they accepted our order. It was working for 30 minutes! Then, 10 minutes before it was meant to be delivered we got a notification it was canceled by the restaurant because they were not taking any orders. No other restaurants are taking orders and we have family here for the Christmas Holiday -- thanks a lot. Don't order from this place, they don't care if they ruin a family dinner. Now we have to have Mcdonald's. So much for buying local. If they don't feel like completing an order AN HOUR LATER, they won't. Great customer service. NOT. My Niece posted this order around 7pm TONIGHT. Nothing else is open, we just drove around for over an hour -- if you aren't going to take orders, do what others do and turn it off. read more

Almost every time we visit Boise we stop here. I love the chai tea they have available in a thermal carafe. The buffet often has pakora, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, a cucumber salad and many other favorites. We really enjoy the food. Everyone is friendly too. read more

Worthless place, staff is rude, they dont even wait for customer to speak up, total disappointment. We reached around 1:45 pm, were stopped at the entrance and told by staff, its closed. Online timings are 2:30 pm, they did not wait for us to clarify. After stating, its closed, staff walked away. Ruthless people, no respect. I wish I could negatively rate them, they dont even deserve 1 star. read more

Great service. Delicious food. Fair pricing. Accommodating to dietary restrictions. The ambiance is unique yet comfortable.

The food here is amazing! I particularly enjoy the lunch buffet. This place has the best Indian food. Great location, but I wish they would open a 2nd location in Meridian. I highly recommend Bombay Grill! read more

Bombay Grill offers up delicious Indian eats in a lovely setting. When I first walked into Bombay Grill, I didn't expect the large dining room I encountered! I would say Bombay Grill is probably one of the better options for Indian dining in Boise with a large group (where you'll still have plenty of elbow room). I typically order their Chicken Tikka Masala, which always comes out flavorful and delicious. They are generous with the heat, though. So, if you don't like things too spicy, I would ask for it very mild. I made the mistake of asking for it "mild to medium-ish" (a little indecisive, I realize) and it came out tasting like an edible version of the sun on the 4th of July (ie: blazing hot). A testimony to their deliciousness? Even with mouth on fire, neck splotching, and forehead beginning to perspire (I'm a baby), I couldn't stop from finishing it. Beyond their chicken tikka, I would say they nail all the staples. Their naan? Exactly perfect (ie: not too crispy, not too soft). Their basmati? Light and lovely perfection. Their service is always spot on and their prices are reasonable considering their downtown locale. All in all...I'm a fan! Get to it! read more

I stopped in with my India colleagues for lunch. They had their buffet laid out and I went vegetarian with Dahl, Chanda masala, and a sweet veggie dish along with some Chai Tea. As a westerner, I don't like a lot of spice and this food was spiced right. It was delicious through and through! I will come again. Phil read more

Bombay Grill is our most frequent dinner-out restaurant, where we particularly enjoy chicken tikka masala, vegetable korma, and raita. The seasonings are delightful -- to our tastes, the best of the many Indian restaurants we have frequented over many years. The service has always been pleasant and professional. read more

the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is great, and its a regular spot when I get the chance. Plus the bread is to die for

Doesn't tase like traditional Indian food. Lacking the right spices and herbs. Tastes nothing like what traditional dish would taste. It's good, and you can eat it, but just not anything close to the real deal. read more

Bombay grill is an amazing place to eat, and the atmosphere is absolutely amazing! The owner is an amazing person and is so kind and caring and the food is absolutely delicious and if you haven't tried Thai restaurant before you definitely need to make it happen!!!!! read more

I've been here for the all you can eat lunch buffet here several times in the past, but today was my first during the COVID-19 pandemic. These guys have adapted so well. They now serve you from the food buffet, tell them what you want and how much and they pile it into your plate. If making more than 1 trip up for food, they give you a fresh plate and reserve you. Naan is still the best I d had in Boise. Taj Mahal beers are cold, although I really wish they served Kingfisher. Our server (a young girl) was informative and bubbly, she forgot our beer order, but was very apologetic and we were thirsty so didn't wait long to catch her eye and remind her. This place is doing everything right. read more

I had a great dinner experience here... the reviews for Bombay are mixed on yelp and google of either being incredible or lackluster. Generally the lackluster reviews seem to fall under the lunch category... For dinner, We were greeted promptly, seated, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They brought a small appetizer, not sure of the name but it's like a thin crispy sheet chip with chutney... it's was tasty! I got a lamb dish that was incredible, traditional, and none was left on my plate... so good! We also got Lassi drinks- great! I will definitely be going to this restaurant for dinner again. If you like Indian food and good service- this is the place for you :-) read more

Great food, prices and service! Owner was great and heavily involved in the operation...which is a good thing. The server left the bottle of wine on the table after ordering it, so we popped it open...good thing it was a screw top! Not sure what that was about but it's pretty small potatoes. Whole meal was great and portions were very generous! Place does not offer corkage. read more
