    Chicken Biryani

    Food is always fresh and healthy. Customer service is always great, warm and friendly. The restaurant is clean, relaxed ambiance and quiet. We are huge fans.

    It was the first time my friend and I came to this wonderful family Indian restaurant. It felt cozy, warm and the staff were welcoming! Everything my friend and I had was delicious: Samosa chat Saag paneer- we asked for it spicy. Goan chicken vindaloo Anddd we tried the cheese naan and garlic chili naan. Loved dipping it in the sauces! They have an extensive menu, and I would love to come back and try more!! This will definitely be a favorite spot whenever I come to Cambridge!

    Okay, guys. Indian was not on the top of my list of options to eat at on the cozy downtown of Cambridge but when looking for options, the pics drew me in...and also I love butter chicken We were there a cold night in February. There is no parking lot for the establishment that we could see but there is plenty of parking and lots throughout the main strip. We walked in and it is a small restaurant but very comfy cozy. One of the things that drew us to the place was their extensive cocktail menu but guess what? There was no bartender there that night but our server did know how to make an old fashioned. I love those so points! Guess what? It was soooooo delicious! If there's only one drink you know how to make, bravo! We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and chicken tandoori. For sides we ordered sauces as well as cheese, garlic and onion naan. Okay...everything was absolutely delicious. Not too much and not too little. Very well flavored. We were still talking about it yesterday, 3 days later saying that it was the best meal we had the whole weekend. If you're in the area, this place is it. Go, eat and be merry and fingers crossed there is a bartender when you're there because other than that, the experience was great!

    Wonderful food, gracious service. Family owned - food that comes from the heart and makes you feel like you are sitting at their dining room table. Large dining room with huge tall ceiling. Very open space.

    I came to this location today and the location has been moved now. This new location is spacious and they have indoor seating along with high tables. They do enforce social distancing and provide sanitizer at the front door. I ordered 3 orders of samosa and a spicy shrimp The samosa was fried well and was tasty. It comes with two different sauces. One I think is sweet the other is something like a pepper sauce. The shrimp comes with rice on the side, inside however comes with peppers and onions it's hot I mean it has good heat but yes it's spicy I like it. The garlic nann so good nice size def coming back. I called my order in and was told 20 min. When I went in I waited an additional 10 which was fine with me I mean I know the food is good so i can wait. I asked a young man at the front about drink options I was told they do not offer alcohol I did follow with letting him know I don't drink alcohol but yes I then followed up with what kind of juices do you have then I got 2 sweet teas. I've met the owner from my last visit so for this and because I know how kind she is I will return. Best of luck

    Food that warms your soul. Dining at Bombay Social was such a phenomenal experience!! I'm not an Indian food connoisseur, but I felt like I was having a home cooked meal. Everything we had was simply amazing. We ordered the cheese naan, chicken biryani, fish molee, and shahi korma chicken (my personal favorite!). We were here for a conference so it was quite busy for a Tuesday night. Before we sat down we were told it would be a bit of a wait for the food. If you're in town for a large conference just be aware! I promise the food is 1000% worth the wait.

    Such a great view while sitting at the bar

    Cambridge finally has a gem, hidden but a gem nonetheless. I was worried initially that this gem wouldn't receive the attention the support it deserves due to its location but I was pleasantly surprised by the number of calls they were receiving g for take out orders while I was there. This made me happy and I already know this will be my go to every other week when I am traveling 50 West. I ordered a lamb dish that was full of flavor and the tender pieces of meat melted in your mouth no knife needed. The ambiance is so cute and I love how the kitchen is exposed so you can see the chefs passionately at work. Also, the bar will be my go to the drinks are created with care and attentiveness with an Indian flare that I enjoyed. I had only one drink and was surely feeling it. Such a gem wonder if it's affiliated with the other Bombay located in Easton????

The restaurant is a little out of the way, tucked into what feels like a medical-office strip mall -- but do not judge this book by its cover! Step inside and the atmosphere changes completely. The restaurant is warm and inviting, filled with the wonderful aromas of Indian cuisine. The place was surprisingly busy for 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, which turned out to be a pretty good sign. We were greeted with a friendly smile and quickly shown to our seats. The drink menu had plenty of options, while the food menu was especially helpful, with pictures and descriptions that give you a good idea of what to expect. Curries, cream sauces, spices -- plenty to choose from for just about any taste. I always appreciate a menu that helps you anticipate the flavors you're about to experience. My son opted for the butter chicken, while I went with the coconut curry lamb. We also ordered two servings of butter naan. The food arrived promptly and was excellent. Rich, flavorful and exactly what we were hoping for. The sauces were fantastic, the flavors did not disappoint, and that butter naan didn't stand much of a chance! The staff checked on us during the meal without being intrusive and made sure everything was to our liking. It absolutely was. As we finished, one of the staff members stopped by while clearing our plates and struck up a conversation, asking whether we were locals and what had brought us in. When we told him we were, he offered several suggestions for dishes we should try next time and mentioned that they have a Sunday buffet, which is a great opportunity to sample different foods and discover some new favorites. Bombay Tadka is absolutely worth finding and stopping in. Don't let the unassuming location fool you. If you like -- or love -- Indian cuisine, this place is a diamond in the rough! We'll be back...and that Sunday buffet may be calling our name.
