Bombay sweets. Still solid, after all these years. Latest trip include a Bhel puri, Papri chaat and dahi puri. Service is counter top. You find an open table and wait for your order to be called out. The chaats were pretty good. Nice hefty portion and vibrant. Ended with a cup of tea which was the icing on the cake. There is a gassy selection of mithai also available for purchase and other Indian snacks I don't know what happened to the 2 ladies that were always at the front counter? Did Bombay sweet have a management change? read more

Not a fan of their chaats which is why this place was recommended in the first place. Went for the first time, parking here can be difficult as the lot for this strip mall is not large, but this place is pretty large inside. There's a lot going on inside, they sell prepackaged goods, snacks, and sweets, and then also serve as a restaurant. My friend ordered the dahi puri and I ordered sev puri. You have to understand that Sev Puri is my standard order at every chaat serving restaurant, so I'm well aware of how it should look. Typically it's served on crispy flat, thin puri's. Then there's chickpeas, chutneys, cilantro, sev, and spices. You mix it all, and crunch the puri's with your utensils to make a bite. It's my fave and it doesn't have yogurt which I try to limit. This place- served it to look almost like pani puri- large puri's that are bubbled up as opposed to the thin flat ones, and filled with chickpeas. It a diff eating experience and changes the mix of the variety of ingredients in your mouth. I think the only reason they served this was is for efficiency- this way you can make every chaat's base look the same, whether it be meethi (sweet) puri, dahi puri, pani puri, or in this instance sev puri. In trying to work quick, they don't think about the customer experience at all. The chaats are neither authentic or good. read more

I'm about to start getting emotional writing this review because Ive been coming to Bombay Sweets for ages and it really has stayed the best Indian food I have ever had in my entire life like ever since I moved out of Houston it has been a constant struggle trying to find ANYTHING that compares and I only get to have Bombay Sweets once a year or less now. I'm not even kidding you Ive tried sooooo many other places in Houston, NYC, various other cities, and even most recently a trip to INDIA itself and NOTHING came close. I'm dead serious. I have to talk about the two stars of the show that drive my passion for Bombay Sweets: the Saag Paneer and the Garlic Naan. Starting with the Saag, this quite literally tastes like a dish produced on another planet. It is unbelievable and it shocks me every single time I come here and eat it. The flavor is unmatched, it is so deeply layered and you can really taste the spinach alongside the spices and chili, but there is just something extra in here that I cannot explain that pushes this into otherworldly territory. The paneer just completely melts in your mouth and I literally cannot leave the restaurant without ordering 2 days worth of it to-go. There is not a single place that has even come close to the level of flavor provided here and the fact that it has stayed consistent for so long is just really impressive. Now the Naan here is also the best I have ever had, I mean do I need to even say anything just LOOK AT THE PHOTO. WOW. It's huge, the outer edges are thick and fluffy, the inside is thin and crisp, and the toppings here really set this to the next level. I would say that I could come here and just order 4 naans as my meal but there's absolutely no way I'm coming to Bombay Sweets and not ordering the Saag Paneer but yes this Naan is that good. I swear it needs to win some awards or something. The other dishes are good too, this time we also ordered the Paneer Makhani and Baingan Bharta which both were stellar, plus some Pani Puri for the appetizer which was refreshing. Shout out one more time for the Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan because I'm not exaggerating when I say that every other Indian restaurant I go to all I can think about is whether this will be up to par with Bombay Sweets or not. read more

We ordered chole batuta, it was waste of money . Avoid ordering chole bhature! This food was saltly, flavorless. We are a frequent customer, but this time very disappointed with our food. read more

Amazing variety of sweets! Everything from cham cham to barfi to laddoos. It's very tempting to get them all! Meetha paan was good but tiny for $2.50. Will try the snacks or chaat next time. read more

This review at Bombay Sweet is based on my recent experience when I ordered sweet's takeout. It didn't start well with parking situation. Then, the person helped me gave me wrong item. The employees behind the counter didn't seem to be bothered. Maybe because I don't look like their kind. Very unwelcoming. Comparing this restaurant with Raja Sweets, Bombay Sweets has more desserts and standard priced deli food. All items were labeled clearly. However, employee who helped me kept asking what I wanted. I said the name out aloud and pointing with my finger, she gave me wrong item anyway. Flavors were good and tasted fresh. Unfortunately, I couldn't get what I wanted. I don't think I want to come back to try it again. So, no. Not coming back. read more

I'm writing to share some feedback as a longtime customer who has been coming to your establishment for nearly 20 years. On my most recent visit, I politely asked about what seemed to be a decline in food quality. Unfortunately, the response I received felt dismissive and rude, which was surprising and disappointing--especially given how long my family and I have been regular customers. I had expected a more courteous and thoughtful reply. I've also noticed that while the restaurant has clearly been updated and refreshed visually, the restrooms remain in very poor condition. For a business that appears to be doing well and receives a lot of traffic, this is puzzling and detracts from the overall experience. I'm sharing this because I've always valued this place and would like to continue supporting it, but these issues--both in customer service and basic upkeep--make that difficult. read more

Didn't care much for the food there, the Indian red sweet chilli chutney was full of red food color which was just disgusting.

Always a satisfying lunch, and a very tempting variety of sweets laid out. Mattar paneer with roti this time. I miss the buffet they used to have, but everything is still good. If they have any fresh lemon pickle available that's well worth picking up. Addendum: the mattar paneer is really really good. Among the best I've ever had including in India. read more

Always a good experience. Reminds us of India. We love to indulge in hot pranthas. very casual ambiance. you have to order and pick the food from the counter. They are really fast. read more

Last week some friends and I visited. Food was terrible all 4 of got sick with stomach issues. Hardly any water to wash hands in the bathroom. Service was very poor. Bombay Sweets used to our fav place to visit for a ling time to get authentic north Indian snacks. But no longer will be going there. Front desk a young man and a woman did not care about customers at all. read more

I never liked this place because of the quality of the food they used to provide in the past. I returned to this restaurant after 5 years just to give it a chance. We decided to purchase Khoya from this place to make desserts at home. We specifically mentioned that we want khoya without any added sugar. I bought the khoya from them and later realized that its sweet. And it was not just sweet but sweet to a point where you can feel that its khoya in sugar. It was a cheap khoya with lots of sugar added. Total trash. I was right to hate this place and i am not going back especially when there are better stores around. read more

I visited Bombay sweets three years ago, I never expected that the sweets are so much superior in quality, flavor and texture, than any other Indian sweets locations I visited in states. I would recommend Bombay sweets to anyone who wants to experience the real sweets!!!, if you are in Houston Texas please visit and enjoy the delicious food. They have restaurant and all is cooked fresh. The service is amazing, professional, courteous and friendly staff. The ambiance is amazing, place is clean and all the items are nicely organized. I live in Austin Texas and go there every few months. Please take my word and visit with family and friends, ENJOY!!! read more

I've been coming here since I was a wee boy. We'd sometimes come after Sunday School and eat some delicious, vegetarian food. It has a very casual, open layout. You go and order at the counter while you browse the fresh Indian snacks and sweets. The quantity of food they give you is AMAZING! ~$9 for easily 2 meals worth. The food is tasty, fresh, and authentic. My family always comes to eat here when we're in the Hillcroft area. Love this place. It never disappoints read more

When I travel to Houston and in the mood for some good Indian/Pakistani/Desi/South-Asian snacks we normally head to Bombay Sweets. We've gotten the Samosa Chaat which was really good (although the mint chutney is spicy); the choole bhature which were AMAZING; the boxed snacks which were also good; the paneer pakora, also good; and the samosa and pakora which were not good read more

Bombay Sweets - Samosa Chaat - Indian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Price has gone up quite a bit . Samosa is $2.25 per piece. papadi chat is $10.99 Big jump in prices. Will not be going there and find another restaurant where at least there are servers. read more

I recently dined at Bombay Sweets and asked for fresh food the employee told other employee in her ear juts give then food. so she didn't make it fresh it was cold. and the owner lady is very rude. this restaurant is a joke and staff family's owned i guess but they do not know how to take care customers' they talk about customers. i don't understand this restaurant still here's would never ever go back there again. read more

I used to come here often prior to the pandemic, back in the day I remember paying 50 cents for each samosa and the price was given up front even posted as an individual item. I went back yesterday for a large order of samosas and never actually received a price per item. Price is not announced. Anyways, I was charged roughly 2.5 usd per each samosa and ordered 24 ( total was 60usd). Food is delicious, but I have a bad impression with the price not being announced, and more than double what it was in years past. Inflation may account for some of it, but not double or quadruple the price. Now, I am not so happy about coming here. It is a bit overpriced for vegetarian food in my honest opinion. read more

Great selection of vegetarian dishes and sweets. Been here twice and will be going back again. If you are looking for a pure vegetarian restaurant , this is the place to go. My favorite dishes (some of them in the images I provided) include -Paneer Dosa -Mutter Paneer -Mutter Mushroom -Mixed Vegetable Korma The Roti and Naan were great. Highly recommend this location! read more

This is a vegetarian buffet restaurant where I use to come several times a year. However, the quality of food has gone down and today is my first visit in 2019. The price was $7.99 last year and it's at $8.99. They label the food in non English, so you have to ask or just guess. I saw a dish named Locky and asked what it is. First lady said she doesn't know, second lady said squash. Then first lady said potatoes. Hmm, so what is it? Food are oily, like very oily. I had a little bit of a few dishes like spinach paneer and chickpeas. Unsure what the rest are. They also have these two bright yellow dessert which are super sweet. I'm not a fan! However I like their rice pudding. They also give fresh naan for the buffet. Interior has been updated but service can be improved. Won't be returning anymore! read more

I very rarely review restaurants. But this one requires special attention. I ordered samosa chat, paneer pakora and aloo tiki. Paneer pakora was as hard as a rock. Aloo tiki was soggy. Samosa chat tasted terrible. The worst was the aftertaste. If you don't want to do honest business then you should not be in operation. Terrible. Stay away!!!!! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! The sweets are paid by the pound so keep that in mind, but they are all good (except for the spaghetti looking stuff) read more

I think this place is so awesome and a 5 star review is well deserved but think the service could be nicer. It isn't a fancy place but every single item is very good! We go to Indian places not knowing what things are so we usually just end up ordering a bunch of random things to try and take home knowing there is no way we would finish things. Pani Puri is the best here in my opinion and prices are very reasonable. Would come here more if I live closer! read more

I am out of words. This shop is so amazing, their food was amazing especially their dosa,naans,mango lassi, and their pani puri (gol gape). They also had a sweets section in their store which was filled with amazing choices which tasted out of this world! On top of that their service was so quick, it took 7 minutes for my order to come and the servers were so nice that I had to leave an amazing tip! Overall this restaurant , shop is amazing and I 10/10 recommended this please give it a try! read more

Bombay Sweets - cheese naan with mango lassi and shai paneer! 10/10 - Indian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been coming to this establishment for right around a decade, and they have never once disappointed me. Bombay Sweets creates a family-friendly environment and always serves food relatively quickly. Today, I came in for a Samosa Chaat. To my surprise I noticed my food wasn't here after 7-8 minutes which is generally not the case. After I went up to the front, a man wearing a turban was very upset with himself when he realized that they had completely forgotten my order. Thereafter, he prepared my food within 2 minutes and even added extra ingredients to compensate. This was clearly an honest mistake, and something that I wouldn't hold against them. If you are visiting Houston or are around the area, certainly check this place out. They are amazing and serve delicious food remarkably fast. read more

Best place for Indian sweets and Chats in the whole of Houston. Go to place in Hilcroft for sweets & Chats. Used to love their buffet before covid. Unfortunately, they closed their daily buffet. The only minus point is for not providing enough golgappa pani for the golgappe/pani puri plate. The pani is insufficient if you want to fill all the puri's to their capacity. Have to always order extra pani paying $3. Would be great if they increase the quantity of the pani puri water. read more

TRY THEIR CHAAT! Came across this place when I was on my Indian grocery shopping run! Reminded me of the Bombay sweets back home in Tamil Nadu and I had to go in. The food just caught my eyes and I could not decide on what to order. Everything looked good and the prices were just right! I got some fresh jalebis to start with and they definitely did not disappoint. I know a good jalebi when I see one and they had good ones but they were a bit toooo sweet for me. I decided on their paneer paratha, dahi poori, paneer dosa and pani Puri! I highly recommend their chaat to get the feel of Indian street food. The paneer paratha was a bit dry and had very less filling. The paneer dosa was also good but nothing extraordinary. I would definitely visit this place again. I would suggest dining outside or ordering a take out! The people were nice and friendly except for one lady who was rude but I get it since it was a busy day and way too many people and I took forever to decide! read more

Today I went to Bombay sweets the lady at the register was very rude I told her the samosas are smelling oil she was rude and spoke to me very rudely I said the other lady is kind and listen to us politely so she said she is old and u am young I request the owner to replace her otherwise she will lose customers she had a high pitch with everyone I love this place . I spend 60 dollars but was disappointed by the way she was talking n telling me I am old that's why u like her. read more

Undoubtedly, Bombay sweets is the Indian place for quick snack with a wide variety of options, to buy sweets for festivals and anything else. Whenever I go to Hilcroft I make sure to stop by at Bombay Sweets to get some samosas. I've also been here early morning like 10ish to get tea and paneer pakora for a bunch of friends traveling to houston from different states. This specific post also reviews the Aloo Kulcha I had for breakfast. They serve it will chana, curd, pickled onions and other pickles. It's super filling and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing. I saved one quarter of the Kulcha and ate it later like lunch. The Kulchas are nice, fresh, fluffy and tasty. They also serve buffet, haven't tried that yet. Give it a try and let me know! read more

Love this place. It's more than sweets. Lunch and dinner vegetarian buffet for $8.99, or you can order chaat off the menu. Buffet includes a free order of naan. Pretty good selection of dishes. My favorite is the saag paneer. It's not overly creamy and has a great flavor. The desserts are good too. Parking can be an issue because the shopping strip can get busy. Also, the restaurant is a bit cramped. Tables are close together, and they are often slow to bus the tables. read more
