I LOVE the all-you-can-eat lunchtime buffet! $13.95 and so super filling. Delicious options. I loved each food item that I tried. The server was super knowledgeable about what contained meat, versus being vegetarian, versus being vegan. read more

Bombay has been a Nashville staple for many years. I can always rely on them for a good meal. Service was pretty laid back. They covered their bases and didnt need to visit me too many times. Plenty of food served in my one entree of the chicken tikka masala. I wish I knew more about the dips they served before the more but they were delish. One red one green. And as far as ambiance, it was packed but noise levels were kept low. I will forever recommend Bombay for Indian food. read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Classic chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Compared to the disappointment that was Amarvati in Brentwood, this buffet was to die for Everything was so fresh and clean. The chicken tikka was delicious and so was the naan. The staff was great and was quick to remove empty plates from our table. I will be back! read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Bombay Palace is an iconic staple of not just good authentic Indian food in Nashville, but also phenomenal service! When dining-in, every table automatically gets a tray of condiments to complement the complimentary serving of Papadums. The menu boasts a huge variety of North Indian dishes that will satisfy even those with the most restrictive dietary needs. Pescatarians, Lacto-vegetarians, Vegans or if you have non dairy requirements can all be met easily with modifications. A dish that I've fallen in love with at Bombay Palace is known as Chicken Methi. The Methi (Fenugreek leaves) gives a distinct flavor and the creaminess makes the dish just melt in your mouth. If you prefer non cream based dishes, there are coconut cream or even cashew based curries that you can request. A meal is not complete without an order of Naan which is a type of bread that is cooked in a tandoor oven. Depending on your preferences, you could try just plain, butter, chilli or Garlic Naan which is my favorite! Bombay Palace is also known for their Lasso which is a yogurt based cooling drink to wash down the spicy dishes. Try their Mango Lassi and you can't be disappointed! Ending the meal with Gulab Jamun which are fried balls of dough soaked in a sugary solution is the perfect desert in my opinion. I must add that despite the awesome quality of food you get at Bombay Palace, it's nothing compared to the service of the wait staff! If you ever get to be served by Manish or Rinku, then you'll understand that you must bring your A-game to join in the playful banter that awaits their regular customers. You won't regret making Bombay Palace a regular pit stop. Guaranteed! read more

I first came here over 20 years ago. It's a Nashville staple. Not much has changed with the decor, which makes it even more special.

Absolutely perfect. When I ate there, I could've sworn it was straight from India. I just had a simple rice with chicken Tikka masala and pita bread. Somehow, it livened up my entire day. The lighting is nice, not over the top. I now have it at least once every other week, and when I do, I cannot put it down. read more

I really enjoy their Indian buffet and getting to explore different North Indian dishes. Lunch is easy with walk in and load up. The naan could be better but the butter chicken and other staples are solid enjoyable and flavorful. Very convenient to 440. read more

Had takeout from here during a snowy day. Most amazing dal tadka and lacha paratha. Shahi paneer was also good. Glad to have found such an authentic Indian taste in Nashville read more

The menu is so extensive and every dish is just beyond flavorful. I've both dined in and gotten take out/delivery, and each time it just HITS. The inside of the restaurant is also really cute and red and neat. Here's what I've tried: Malai Kofta: 10/10 - The curry is sweet, spicy, very thick, and flavorful. The balls of cheese and vegetables are soft on the inside, and well cooked. This is such a great vegetarian dish and I HIGHLY recommend it. Chicken Cashmere: 9.5/10 - The curry is super creamy and flavorful, and even a bit sweet. It's very similar to the Malai Kofta, except there is a little bit less depth of flavor and the texture is smoother and less thick. This is a great option if you want some good protein. Chicken Curry: 7.5/10 - I enjoyed it, but I prefer creamier, richer Indian dishes. This was super flavorful though so if you want something less heavy it isn't a bad choice. Garlic Naan: 10/10 - Always get garlic naan over normal naan. It's just so much better. The naan is fluffy, and smothered with a beautifully aromatic garlic butter. Kachumber Salad: 8/10 - I always order this just so we can have some greens. They're diced up peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a light vinaigrette. very fresh, and a really good way to break up the heaviness of the rest of the meal. Chicken Tikka: 8/10 - This is not Tikka Masala, this is boneless chicken marinated and then cooked in the Tandoor. You get a LOT of chicken, and personally, my favorite part are the nice almost caramelized onions that come underneath the chicken. Nicely spiced, but I do think that if you go to Bombay, you should get a curry, as just chicken can get dry/boring. Lachha Paratha: 8/10 - Really good Paratha! I just think naan has a better texture and is more flavorful, but the paratha here is nice and flaky. My family also really likes their Papadum and their Tandoori Chicken. You can customize your spice level with pretty much any dish, just let them know! read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - From top to bottom: Chicken Cashmere, Kachumber Salad, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, Malai Kofta - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great food and service! I absolutely love the chicken tikka masala - the sauce is just perfection. It is super creamy and goes well with the white chicken bites, which was juicy. I got medium spice, which wasn't spicy at all. I haven't found another sauce like this on their menu but I would love to try a similar sauce to it. As a side, I got the garlic naan and that was fresh and good. I would recommend getting the naan to dip into the sauces. I got a Mango lassi and it was fresh as usual. Beware this may fill you up before your meal haha! For parking, they have a small lot in front but a bigger lot behind it that may be hidden. read more

Excellent place for lunch! The under-$15 buffet on West End Ave. in Midtown is delicious and filling. I just had tandoori chicken, seasoned rice, dal, black lentils, a delicious spinach dish, naan- and delicious rice pudding. What a bargain - great service and ambience, also. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered a bunch of food from Bombay Palace to go and although I know it does not travel well, I must say I was a bit disappointed by the lack of flavor. The flavors and spices in the chicken tikka Marsala were so bland. I also ordered the veggie pakora which was good, but again lacking in spices and flavor. The cauliflower with the hot sauce was again lacking in flavor. I made the mistake of ordering the samosas that come in the yogurt and sauces and I wish I did not do that. The samosas would've been better on their own. I will try to check them out in person but overall.. I have to say I just wish they would put more flavor and spice in their foods. read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Ordered takeout from here, got: - free vegetarian samosas: the breading was a bit thick, inside wasn't super flavorful. Liked the mint chutney that came with it. - chilly paneer: didn't like the fried paneer, paneer also wasn't very soft. The flavor wasn't great, could've been stronger - subzi vindaloo: lots of vegetables which I liked. Flavor could've been stronger here too - bread basket: came with plain, garlic, and methi. Chewy bread, pretty tasty, couldn't really taste the garlic or methi but good with the curry - mango lassi: thick yogurt drink, not too sweet, mango flavor was alright - kheer (rice pudding): quite flavorful, not too sweet, enjoyed it Amount of food was pretty good, came with rice as well. read more

Do not advertise that you stay open till 2:30 but won't serve anyone that comes in at 2:20. buffer is open and you don't take people even though you close at 2:30??!!! then post that you close 15 minutes early or serve until you are open. Did this to us in Christmas Day as well. I just thought because Christmas you close early. but tried today. same thing. Never Again read more

The food is always fresh and hot. We also receive great service no matter how late we walk thru the door

Have only ever had the catered version of Bombay, but they have never missed despite having to make such large quantities of food. Appreciate that they are able to be very reliable with their spice levels so you will actually get mild/medium/etc as you requested. Hope to come here in person some time! read more

Amazing food, great service, smells amazing as soon as you walk in, we came in a little late and they were so nice to us! A good serving size as well. read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We love Indian and we were in the area to check out. The service was a bit slow and the food was pretty good. The Shahi paneer really tasted like green peppers which was odd for me as I have had this a lot of places and expected a different taste. The other dishes were about what you expect. We do not live in the area so would not be back. Maybe we would check out other indian restaurants to try the variety Nashville has to offer on our next return. read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Methi Malai Mutter - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Authentic Indian food in Nashville, the food tasted great and we loved the chai so much we had to go back next day for it. Worth a try.

A solid Indian restaurant!! They have your standard, tried and true, selection of delicious Indian food, so there will be something for everyone. I got my order for take out (random pregnancy craving while down in Nash from Clarksville), but the inside was nice and clean with patrons relatively distanced. Everyone had on masks as well - kudos! After all, we are in a pandemic yall!! I opted for 2-piece veggie samosas, kachumber salad, and the ever-popular/my favorite, chicken tikka masala with a side of garlic naan. The baby bump and I were thoroughly pleased with the mini Indian spread and so very glad we stopped by before the highway trek back home. The veggie samosa was delicious and this is the first time that I've actually liked the green dipping sauce that comes with it!! I should know the name of it, but I never liked it until now, so I don't, haha. When I come back, I'll be sure to ask. I was also pleased their chicken tikka masala wasn't too sweet nor too spicy. It's was just perfect with the creamy flavor! They give plenty of sauce so you can dip the naan into it - which I love love love to do! The chunks of chicken were nice and tender as well. I crunched on the kachumber salad along the way - and always feel better having something light and flavorful to go with such a rich entree. It's in a small, "whole in the wall" type strip mall, so you're not going there for ambience (there's a Piggly Wiggly at the end if that clues you in, LOL); however, you won't be disappointed if you want some solid Indian food that'll satisfy your taste buds :) I recommend giving them a try! I'll definitely be back ;) read more

Bombay Palace Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala, Kachumber Salad, Vegetable Samosa, Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was so hungry and the food was so good I had no time to take pictures. From the outside the place seems like a hole in the wall but once you step inside you find the decor simple but cozy. We were greeted immediately and seated. Our server was very attentive and never let our water run out. I personally felt the food was authentic as they come. My husband is from India and had nothing bad to say about the food. In fact he loved the garlic naan so much he ate all of mine as well. They had a nice selection of entrees and I believe there would be something here for everyone. When you order they ask your spice level, and I'm honestly not sure what the scale was but I said 4 and my husband said 6. I felt the spice level was pretty spot on for what my expectations were, which is basically "as long as it doesn't hurt me tomorrow", if you know what I mean. One thing to note is that as cozy as the place is....well it's cozy. You will be able hear the surrounding tables conversation and vice versa. Probably not so bad if the place is 75% full but there were only 3 tables occupied during our visit so we heard a lot. read more

The food was mediocre at best, very plain and uninspired. I love Indian food but really did nit enjoy any of this food. The service was ok I guess, nothing special either way. Decor and environment are decent, it feels very crowded and red. Just in general I'm having a hard time reviewing this place because of how little I enjoyed it. I'm sorry usually my reviews are better but I am so dissatisfied with this visit. read more

Excellent service.The food was fast to come out. I ordered the paneer tikka and it was delicious!! However I wish there was a little bit more rice, so in the future I would definitely recommend asking for a side of rice. read more

Delicious food and amazing service! Food warmed us up on a cold night when everything else was closed. Great atmosphere!

Solid Indian restaurant. Probably my favorite Indian food I've found since moving to Tennessee. The lunch buffet was the best but not sure if they're doing that anymore because of COVID. - Chicken tikka masala (5/5): always my go to. Love the flavor. Tender chicken. Just overall one of the best. - Garlic naan (4.5/5): so good. I love naan and dipping the naan in sauce. Love when it's dough-y and fresh. read more

Great service and outstanding Indian food. Very good location. First time visit on my part - I will return.

We found it! Great northern Indian food. Greeted by a warm and friendly host (the owner's nephew) Lunch buffet had a wide variety of items from the standards of Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori chicken and Saag Paneer to many unique vegetarian choices. Attentive service and clean. This is the best place in Nashville HHS's down so happy new founded read more

absolutely phenomenal!!!! We ordered the rogan josh and makhani chicken, of course with some garlic naan. my husband also got a mango juice. The service was great- we had waters and they never even got a chance to get low because the server was so quick to refill. The inside is nice and cozy and the food presentation was so good. The food had some spice but still maintained flavor. My husband doesn't like spice so he got the mild level, and it was still extremely flavorful. Overall, we LOVED this place, and wish we lived local so we could return!! read more

This is maybe not the fanciest place but the food was really great and the service was fast and good. In short if you are looking for a genuine American/Indian restaurant this is it. Only been here once so far but the entire family agreed this is going to be our go-to place for Indian food in Midtown. Oh, also, prices where really good and portions generous! read more

This was pretty good! I ordered delivery. I got vegetable samosas, chicken makhani (butter chicken), and naan. The samosas were very tasty 5/5. The chicken makhani was good with tons of sauce. Would've appreciated more chicken, 4.5/5. The naan was good too, nice and fluffy. I'd love to try some more items off their menu. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Very nice and efficient service. Clean environment. Broad menu for all diets and limitations. The food was sooooo good. I love Indian food in general but this topped them all. The crispy, chip-like wafer and the 4 sauces were a nice start, and all were tasty. We ordered Goat Curry, Boti Kabab Masala (Marinated tender cubes of lamb broiled in the tandoor, then cooked in a rich tomato, onion and creamy cashew sauce), and some spicy garlic naan. We topped it with Mango Lassi's which hit the spot. Both entrees we had them make it spicier and it came out just right. I eat Indian food every chance I get, anywhere I am, and this is my official Indian restaurant for as long as I'm in driving distance of Nashville! What an excellent way to end a week and start a weekend! read more

Bombay is the BOMB! Came here with friends for a going away party pre COVID and we had such a great time. Our large party was sat quickly. The food was hot and fresh. I would recommend the classics here: garlic nann, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken sagg, and finally curry goat. Servers were extremely friendly and fast. I also love that they have a nice list of wine and beers to choose from. I would recommend coming here for a cozy night out. read more

Best all-around Indian food you're going to find! Not only are they close to Vanderbilt and Nashville's 2nd ever Indian restaurant, but they are very delicious and reasonably priced! Malai Kofta is 10/100, best I've ever had!! Food comes out in a reasonable amount of time and this is easily THE CLEANEST Indian restaurant in the state! The floors are so clean you could eat off them! read more

I recently hosted my book club here. We usually take turns meeting at each other's homes, but since we were reading a Salman Rushdie novel that was partially set in Bombay, this seemed like a fun and atmospheric alternative. We went at noon on a Saturday, and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. I have dined there several times but none of the others had, do we all chose the buffet so they could all sample a variety of dishes. Everyone enjoyed the meal, except the dessert, a light puffy affair with a bland syrup. Otherwise everything was very well received, especially the chicken Tikka Masala and the spinach side dish. Very reasonable price. Did not have the mango lassi (yogurt drink) this time but usually do, and it is a favorite of mine. read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The building was old but the restaurant and restroom were clean.

I can get on board with this place. I really enjoyed their food and found the service to be spot. Service makes this place honestly because they're attentive and aware when to check-in. Nothing overbearing about them which was refreshing. The servers stay busy between handling tables and to-go orders. I feel like a good bulk of their business is from takeout. As far as food, this place does great when it comes to different sauces. OH MY GOD, SAUCE! I have truly enjoyed all the varying offerings I have had thus far that typically is a mix of a lamb dish and a vegetarian dish. They taste great as leftovers too. I am one who can not eat spicy food. So, for me to say that I enjoyed this with zero heat says a lot. My stomach doesn't regret it the next day either. Based on what I know, I would say they offer more Northern Indian type cuisine than Southern Indian. They have dishes from both regions, but there is definitely a notice of a northern regional touch than southern. Southern Indian spices would put me in a bad place stomach-wise if I tried going there. I would recommend this place for a great date spot. I think you will find that it offers that level of intimacy, but also you can dress up or dress down for the occasion. Pricing levels at about $14+ for entrees and that gets you a healthy portion of rice and dishes themselves are very shareable. read more

I ordered the chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, samosa chaat, and garlic naan to-go. Inside the restaurant seemed really nice and the staff was friendly when I came to pick up the meal. My favorite was the samosa chaat! The tikka masala was good as well, but it was not as spicy as I hoped it would be. The garlic naan was large but decent. I would definitely go back and try some other dishes. read more

They were friendly hosts and plenty of attentiveness if you are going to dine in. But the quality of their food is great. A lot of typical northern style Indian dishes that hold up and I can't wait to have my next dose of their dishes. If you're on the fence of what to order and want to try a few things, they have combinations that work for a party of two or even a whole family. Their lamb rogan josh was amazingly tender and didn't have a gamey taste that it can sometimes. Also their tandoori chicken was a pleasure as well. The servings are ample and you don't leave hungry. We'll be back for more goodness and we'll be venturing back to try more. read more
