Came here tonight with a couple girlfriends after drinks at Harriet's rooftop. About 10 minutes away. We were all craving Indian food. Easily the best decision. Got there right before the kitchen closed and they still seated us and took our order. So sweet. It wasn't busy either, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Private dinner energy. The restaurant is stunning. Old-school Beverly Hills. Warm lighting, gold tones, high ceilings. Little wall niches with bronze Hindu deity statues. Very much dinner at your aunty's house. We got chicken tikka, dal, rice, and tandoori chicken. The tandoori chicken was the highlight for me. Smoky, juicy, really flavorful. They brought us gulab jamun for dessert. So good. Hot, soft, syrupy, it really tasted homemade. Such a good spot to end the night. Quiet, pretty, taken care of. read more

Bombay Palace was one of those meals that just hits on every level. The butter chicken was rich, perfectly spiced, and easily one of the best I've had--comforting without being too heavy. The pakora came out crisp and flavorful, not greasy at all, and the tandoori chicken had that ideal smoky char while still staying juicy inside. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Simmy was exceptional--attentive without hovering, genuinely warm, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It felt less like being served and more like being hosted. Overall, incredible food, even better hospitality, and definitely a place worth coming back to. read more

Bombay Palace - Indian Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Paid almost $30 for a plate of butter chicken that looked like a cat stopped by and squatted on my plate. If this is Indian food I'm glad I'm not from India. read more

We Had such a phenomenal dinner here! For over 40 years, Bombay Palace has been serving up delicious Indian food in their charcoal oven. Their sag paneer was the best I have ever had: they told us the secret was added mustard greens, which made the flavors truly Stand out. The fish tikka was brimming with flavor, as was the tandoori chicken, eggplant dish, naan, and more. Wonderful service, and Beautiful ambiance. this is a nice place to bring a group or even a date. Parking available in front on Wilshire after 7pm. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Everything we tried was good. Was recommended by chef at another place.

We have eaten at Indian restaurants all over the world, and Bombay Palace is an institution when it comes to excelling at real Northern Indian dishes. It's not dumbed down, there's no tofu, or coconut oil, or trying to westernize the palette. Ironically, it's also not overly spiced, or what you may see at fast food Indian restaurants that food is greasy and dripping in oil or butter. We celebrated a birthday, and our 3 year old who is super picky, probably ate the most in her life. The host and hostess were warm, made excellent recommendations, accommodated to my granny's dietary needs and personally attended to every table. The ambience is haute couture, and every dish is made fresh. This means sometimes dishes can take time. Many restaurants have stock sauces that they use for all their dishes that are pre-made, or microwave their breads or rice. The owner informed us that their chefs have been there since 40 years, at the same location. We started with some excellent paneer tikka on skewers that are mildly spiced but packed with flavor served with a savory green cilantro and a sweet tamarind chutney. Our kid loved it (after we removed all the marinade), and ate it with some fresh cumin basmati rice and mango lassi. For the main course, we ordered some silky daal makhani (cooked overnight on a low simmer), paneer makhani and okra. All 3 entrees were flavored really well, but mildly spiced. We were surprised how little oil or butter was used, and how the okra was cooked perfectly, with no starchy slime. We paired all the main course entrees with lachha (multi layered) parathas and garlic naan. It tasted fresh and was cooked expertly, without being burnt or being undercooked. Finally, the host brought a carrot cake with pistachio and creamy ice cream on top and a sparkler that flared up for a minute. We also had the Indian donut in syrup (gulab jamun) and some excellent kulfi (Indian ice cream) in mango and pistachio flavor. The food isn't cheap. As the owners explained, they use the finest ingredients and pay their staff very well. They were also candid about the negative reviews and explained how hard it is to run a fine dining restaurant, where despite your best effort, there's always someone having a bad day. If you are looking for a place that serves classical Indian food, that's refined, using the highest quality ingredients, and looking for an elevated experience, Bombay Palace is one of the best Indian restaurants in Southern California. Ignore the reviews, and try it for yourself as you unlock a new experience with Indian food. read more

NO WAY BOMBAY! DO NOT GO HERE! GO ANYWHERE ELSE. If you ignore this warning and go anyway MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR CHECK! We had some friends in town. They love Indian food. We usually go to Flavor Of India on Sunset Blvd but we thought let's try somewhere new. We'll call this first mistake. When we arrived the place was almost empty. Not a good sign, but hey we're here, so let's do this. That was mistake #2. I don't mind paying high prices for good food... but I DO MIND BEING OVER CHARGED, being CHARGED TWICE for some dishes and having a 20% SERVICE CHARGE added to my bill. WHICH BY THE WAY - IS AGAINST THE LAW! -- Restaurants will no longer be able to charge service fees and will instead have to fold the charges into its menu prices. Starting July 1, 2024 restaurants in California will no longer be able to add service charges or other surcharges to your check. -- (don't believe me? Google it) Hey if you have $24 dollars to spend on 2 bottles of Ginger Beer then knock yourself out. Did you catch that? 2 bottles of ginger beer. 24 dollars. That's 12 dollars each. I could get a great bottle of wine for $24 bucks -- and then get drunk enough not to see I'm being OVER CHARGED by the fine folks at BOMBAY PALACE. - You may be asking "But hey, how was the food?" Answer: It was OK, it was good but far from great and even further from anything special. Also be aware THEY USE MSG. - Yes you do. Ok so the bill comes and it's like $260 dollars. Yep - 4 people - two hundred and sixty dollars. And that's before the tip. So as I'm getting ready to add a tip - which would bring it to around $312.00 - my son says "Wow that seems like a lot. Can I see the bill?" - And that's when it all came tumbling down. Needless to say, after seeing the service charge, i did not add an additional tip. So what have we learned? We should have just gone to Flavor Of India. They're the best. If you're still reading this - I'm begging you to not go to BOMBAY PALCE. You will regret it if you do. And check out the other reviews on here as well. I'm not the only one that feels this way. Also when we brought our concerns to the owner, you could tell he was a bit put off when we asked about the additional charges on our bill. Oh, by the way... ambiance? Pretty nice. read more

An upside Indian restaurant in Beverly Hills with a very nice interior. It is very clean and beautifully decorated. Metered street parking in front of restaurant. Went to lunch here with a friend. I ordered a chicken entree with nan and a side of samosa. Service was fast. Plating was very pretty. Serving was big as we were able to share the entree and still got full. We were satisfied with the food but here's what soured our experience. Customer came in and wanted to dine here. Since it's their first time, they asked a few questions but was told off by an older lady who I believed was the owner. The rudeness, although not directed to us, made us uncomfortable. Reading other reviews, it had been mentioned too many times about the same negative things about the owners. read more

The food is AMAZING. Seriously. My husband and I have been to almost every Indian restaurant in LA and we've eaten all over India and beyond. This is one of the best places we've tried. The bhindi, the paneer (Matar, tikka and shahi and butter) are delicious. The paratha, naan and roti are as fresh as it gets. Jeera rice was the best I've ever had. The bhindi was also the best I've ever had. It's hard to put into words but you just go try it. It's refined, it's a nice night out on the town and worth every penny. Also...The hosts were so attentive and personable. Like old times:) We loved our experience and have been telling others to go check it out. If you want truly authentic North Indian food you gotta go! read more

Response to Owners comment, You claimed to have spoken to us politely, but that is not true--we both know Deep insulted our family and told us to leave. When you came to clear our dishes, while you didn't raise voice, your words were rude and insulting. When we asked about the man who had been sitting in a booth all night while you tended to the tables, you simply stated, "The owner." We wanted to speak with him, but he didn't have the courage to come back. Instead, he chose to stop the father and child on their way out of the restaurant. You also claimed we were "negligent" and continued eating while the child cried. As responsible adults, we understand basic decency. We took turns stepping outside with the child, but after a traumatic incident, a 14-month-old is naturally going to cry. We brought him back inside only to rotate chaperones and provide him with warmth from the cold weather outside and were on our way out with the child, when the exchange of words occurred with Deep. As for the supposed complaints from other customers, that doesn't seem accurate. The only group seated near us--a group of uncles and aunties--was smiling and showing concern when the child started crying. The only person who appeared upset was Deep, who had been sitting in a booth all night while you attended to the customers, which included us, a party of seven next to us, a couple, and a group of four people. Other than that, the restaurant was empty. read more

I love this place. The ambiance is really beautiful. The food was so tasty and the service was friendly and prompt. We came before the dinner rush since we had a movie to see at the Academy at 6. I wish we could have stayed til it was dark and had seen the walls all lit up. Next time for sure! I had the channa masala and vegetable samosas and it was all so flavorful and delicious! The portions are perfect! read more

Bombay Palace - Vegetable samosa - Indian Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

If you want top notch quality Indian food with an upscale vibey atmosphere (think mood lighting, beautiful bar, candles, high ceilings), this is the spot!! We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Malai Kofta, and Malai Kabob (fave!) and everything was perfectly spiced, flavorful, and extremely satisfying. Our waitress was fantastic and recommended the Malai Kabob--grilled white meat chicken cooked in cheese, which came sizzling hot--it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Price was a little steep, but it's LA, and I imagine the rent is high. We will definitely be back! read more

Bombay Palace - Beautiful ambiance - Indian Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

The food at Bombay Palace is just as good as at any $ Indian restaurant in LA. But not better. Its just twice the price. The bill was $145 including tip for three dishes, white rice and naan. The yelllow daal, vegetarian platter, vindaloo chicken were not very tasty. It was enough food for three people. I give two stars for the great service and ambiance. And one star for the food. It was nothing special. read more

NOT LGBTQ FRIENDLY!!! tried to go here with my boyfriend for valentine's day but was refused a table because we were a queer couple. was just confused at first when they denied us a seat, but then another couple (straight) came in with out a reservation and they were seated immediately. if you are lgbtq or simply just an ally i would never recommend supporting this business. read more

Food was very bland. For a place that advertises the sheer quantity of Bollywood stars that have stopped by, you'd think the food would be top notch. Very disappointing. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants. Delicious vindalu, and fish, ñam excellent Service was very good read more

Where do I begin. The man who seated us was rude; completely ignored our friendly conversation. The young woman who asked us if we wanted sparkling or still water, 30 seconds after we were seated, seemed annoyed that we didn't want paid water. The third person who finally took our order after 10 more minutes of sitting, an older woman, was also very rude. When I asked for more water she seemed angry that I asked and never brought it. The food was bad too. I kid you not - Trader Joe's frozen chicken tikka masala is better than this place. Further, a very small portion for $27. The $30 lamb biryani was better but not amazing. Cherry on top: with the worst restaurant service I've received in memory, they automatically took a 20% service charge. The place was not busy, the wait for the food was about an hour total. read more

Worst service. I'll never come back to this place. Everything is bad starting from food, service, sanitation read more

Delicious curries, very kind staff, absolutely recommend! The lamb sali boti was particularly incredible.

Avoid ordering Biriyani, aloo paratha and other rice & chicken item. It's not worth your money ! The food served here is not Indian but something which is not even close to be authentic! read more

No concept of customer service at all! The restaurant was not open for lunch even at 40 min past their advertised time when we called them from outside their door. People have limited time for lunch from work. After getting in we waiting another 20 min for water to be served. Terrible service! Food was good but I would not go again with my colleagues. read more

This was our third dining experience at this restaurant, we have enjoyed every thing that we ordered. We ordered Samosa, Tikki, Paneer Tikka & Papri Chat. For main meal, it was Dal Makhni, Peshawari Chana and Paneer Tika Masala with Garlic Nan & Lachha Paratha. Every food item was uniquely flavored and to the perfect texture it requires. Strongly recommend read more

Party of 4... never coming here again due to shadiness. The gratuity was automatically added at 20% WITHOUT ASKING OR LETTING US KNOW. The owner said it's added automatically. EVERYONE BEWARE!!!! because they added tax on the gratuity too!!! So they MAKE You TIP 25%. What's worse is our party of 4 is all Indian, and the food wasn't good. They charged sales tax onto the gratuity. How shady, and the owner said "since we call it a service charge we are allowed to charge sales tax on ur tip per my accountant." She literally told me that. This restaurant is always empty, and deserves to always be empty. Now I know why. read more

Service is amazing - love the family vibe. The food is as good as the service. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

I had to review this again! Sorry!!! The following is my original review but I got a stomach flu the following day and my dog throw up the whole night after having a piece of chicken! "loved the chicken stews, veg biryani and the veggie samosas. Yummy.... I love spicy food and the stew was perfect, medium spicy... The owner is sweet, there was a confusion with our order and she happily fixed it. Much appreciated. Thank you. Will see you soon" read more

This place is walking from work. Yeh ambiance is pretty nice. The service was good as well. We ordered the hara bhara kabab it was pretty good. We also got the chicken kheema, was very well minced chicken, the daal tadka was homely and so were the parathas. They had a little unique desert gajar ka halwa with coconut ice cream and it did not disappoint us. read more

Overrated place. I chose this place seeing biryani pics. But my bad it was not good. Also the owners are biased welcoming great with Americans and with Indians they don't even bother to wish or check how was the food items. Totally not acceptable. I just didn't expect this from an Indian restaurant. Definitely not recommending and the restaurent smells bad. read more

Good food, but I think it's comparable to a lot of Indian restaurants. You're paying for the location and the nice décor. My friend and I had the Palace Feast (Tandoori chicken, shammi kabab, sekh kebab, saag gosht, chicken tikka masala, cauliflower and potatoes, creamed lentils, pulao rice, naan bread, raita, and gulab jamun). It was plenty of food for 2 people. My personal favorite was the masala, and chicken Tandoori. Both are my go to dishes whenever I have Indian food. The décor is lovely. I'm not sure if they recently remodeled or not, since I've never been. I'd say the service is decent, but not overly friendly. I'm guessing it's family run and owned. I saw a few regulars, as they were chatting it up with the same server waiting on us. There were Indian folks dinning here, so I'll trust that it's good food. There was parking on the side streets and in front of the restaurant. No need to park at a meter though, there's plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. read more

We went here last night for a friends birthday and I'm obsessed!! The food was so delicious and the service was incredible. The woman helping us I think was one of the owners and she was so sweet and kind and made it such a wonderful experience for us. It was like dining somewhere familiar and cozy and the food was so delicious and presented so well. Give them a try! Oh and they have a full bar which was awesome. read more

Bombay Palace - Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, rice, garlic naan, and Punjabi Vegetable Samosa - Indian Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

We love this place and the food is amazing. Whether you dine in or take it home - the food is always spot on.

I ate too much and don't regret it. So much flavor in every dish. Each dish is carefully spiced (so that all the dishes don't taste the same). I have not eaten here in a couple years and forgot how deliciously, perfectly spiced their Bainghan Bharta (amazing eggplant dish), Onion Kulcha (nan stuffed with cooked onion), Dal (lentils.. these are not your ordinary lumpy lentils...these are delicious) and Chana (chickpeas). Along side the appetizers, in our case we had traditional Veg-Samosa's they serve a little dish of marinated carrots in an oil and spice mixture that uniquely wonderful. During covid they have a few tables on the sidewalk, with heat lamps. The staff and owners are gracious and friendly. Prices are a little higher, but it was superior to other places I've tried around LA. read more

We had a great meal here. Tandoori fish was delicious, and one of the best saags I have ever had. I also love the decor.

We (wife, daughter and I) have been to this restaurant 5-6 times in last 1+ year for their excellent food quality. Yesterday it was anything but that. The veg platter was stuffed with onions (cheapest vegetable) instead of paneer, broccoli, bell pepper portions that they would normally put. The yellow lentil and channa masala were very small portions. On top of that, all the food was lukewarm. When I told the young lady who served our table, her excuse was the food got cold from the time it was cooked to the table. They add 20% service charge. In general, all their dishes are expensive ($19 for lentils, $26 for platter as example). But the price didn't justify the quantity, quality of food at all. Cutting the corners on top of expensive menu items won't serve them any good. They definitely have lost our patronage. Last but not the least, didnt get a feeling of any welcome or warmth. Snobbish attitude seems inherently built in the folks there. read more

I rarely like Indian restaurants in LA, especially the fancier ones do not meet the mark. Bombay palace was an exception to that. They had really gray good, authentic statues- and catered to a no garlic preference for some on our party. The service is personal and friendly. If you are looking for Indian hospitality and great Indian food, Bombay palace is the place to visit. read more

Beautiful place but food quality and pricing is beyond ridiculous. Indian food is not authentic at all and seems to be altered for the non-Indian palate. Owners are rude and as others have commented shady. Dine at your own risk or at your wallet's risk. read more

I've been to this place quite a few times, but after our last encounter, I will never return. I consider myself a relatively easy reviewer, and give mostly 4 and 5 star reviews. I have never been so rudely treated as I was at this restaurant this past weekend. This is perhaps because the owner (husband of the husband and wife) had never been there during my past visits. We made reservations ahead of time (2 weeks in advance) for our party of 8. This is not even the the type of place to typically require reservations (every other time I've been we have been one of 2-3 tables filled in the entire restaurant). We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation. There was a group who had entered before us (who did not have a reservation, and did not have their full party there). The owner proceeded to try and seat them at an empty table (that I later found out was reserved for us). As he was doing so, his wife (who is usually the one who runs the show) yelled at him that the table was reserved for us. He shooed her away and proceeded to seat the group (of 4 at the time), at the table reserved for us. When he came back he told us "you'll have to wait until a table leaves". When I explained to him that we had a reservation, he got extremely aggressive and told me "I'll seat you when a table opens up". He then incorrectly assumed our full party wasn't there and said "no where in LA will seat you without your full party" (yet he had just seated a party of 8 with half of them not yet arrived). I pointed out the fact that our entire party was indeed there, and he had also seated the party in front of us without their full group. He then became even more rude and aggressive. His wife clearly knew he was in the wrong and kept looking over at us, but must have been too intimidated by him to say anything. He then told me "I've been in the service industry for 40 years, you don't know anything." This was the final straw for me. I have never been so disrespected by a restaurant, waiter, manager, or owner. I will never give this place my business again. The food is solid, but nowhere near worth the experience we had. We will never be back. read more

Rip off and shady business practices. We ordered fish tikka masala and, for $38, we received what was essentially an appetizer portion. We wanted extra rice and asked if we could get a half order. The manager said "absolutely". We received less than a half order and they charged us for a full order. Finally, they added a 20% service charge, and, when we went to sign the bill, they requested that we tip in addition to the service charge. The kicker is that they sneakily removed the version of the receipt that contained the 20% service charge in the hopes that we wouldn't notice. Very shady people who are nickel and diming customers because they barely get any customers (as the place is almost always empty). Never coming back here again. read more
