I'm having a multi-event wedding this summer and we've been looking for a good caterer and heard really good things about Bombay tandoor. Went with my fiancé and family to try out the food and everything we got (chicken tikka, mixed grill, butter chicken, chicken Amritsari, chicken biryani, carrot and moong dal halwa) were all delicious. Ambiance was nice with Indian songs playing. Service was a little slow, we had to call people down constantly to get water refilled or order more food. From this experience alone, I would've given this a 4 or 4.5 stars. However, about a week later, we had a small family gathering and order to-go trays of chicken tikka for others to try. Unfortunately, this time the flavor wasn't as strong or good and the tikka was more watery than we expected. We also got paneer tikka, which tasted good but for $16, it was only 5 pieces. Called the restaurant to give feedback regarding the watery tikka, and whomever my dad spoke to was rude and condescending. They asked if we were South Indians as South Indians generally do not like the taste of North Indian food. First of all, not true. We had the exact same dish a week prior and it objectively did not taste the same. We also asked why they charged us $16 for the paneer tikka as the menu said $14 and he said that the Leesburg location is priced higher, which again, not clear anywhere on the website or when ordering. If anything, I would assume Tysons location would be more expensive. Anyway, we went from excited that we found our wedding caterer to feeling hurt about the way that one man spoke to my dad. But the first time we had the food in the restaurant was really delicious without any professionalism issues. read more

There are lots of restaurants in this plaza. Many have changed hands and many have been around for years. This place had been on our radar. We had an opportunity to eat at the buffet lunch. Staff was amazing, from the servers to the manager. They explained the various dishes, brought over various sauces and made sure we had everything we needed. We also sampled the Dosa dish brough over by the very friendly manager. The buffet selection offered us the chance to look at the dishes and try them out. I love how they put out fresh items when the item runs out. Butter chicken is our favorite and they use chicken breast(one of our go-to choices). I loved the table specifically dedicated to the various sauces. I'm not very familiar with names but the spinach and cheese dish was super delicious. We also ordered a fresh batch of vegetarian samosas. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well as non-veg items such as goat curry, butter chicken and the Manchurian chicken. There's something for most. Their location in Vienna has been around for over 20 years. I hope this location finds a good following of diners. read more

Second visit to Bombay Tandoor in Lansdowne, and again a very good experience. We tried the pani puri, garlic naan, lamb tikka kebab, and lamb rogan josh -- all flavorful, well-spiced, and nicely prepared. The dining area is simple and clean, with high ceilings that make it pleasant and not noisy. Service was attentive and polite, helping with our selections. Prices are reasonable for the area, and while a weekend buffet is available, we haven't tried it yet. read more

Bombay Tandoor - Pani Puri - Desserts Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

This is the best Indian food I've had in a very long time, and it will be my new staple for Indian in this area. The staff was SO nice, and the food came out very fast too. They got the spice levels just right as well, usually most places won't give me (a white guy) the spicy that I ask for! The garlic naan was also amazing. If I had to pick one nit, it would be those tiny little samosas. I prefer the bigger handmade samosas and not those sad little super crispy guys that are probably frozen before being fried. read more

A very underrated indian restaurant in an area with a ton of amazing options for indian food. The lunch buffet is such a treat, the staff are so kind and attentive and seem to earnestly want to make everyone's dining experience the best they can. The dosa station was so delicious. My favorite goat curry around. read more

This was our second visit to Bombay Tandoor in a while, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. We ordered the Spinach Chaat, Tandoori Chicken, and Fish Malabar Gravy along with Tandoori Roti and Garlic Naan. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted excellent. Poornima and her team run the restaurant wonderfully. If you haven't tried this place yet, you should -- and definitely ask Poornima for recommendations. She does a great job tailoring suggestions to your taste. read more

My adult kids insisted I leave a 5 star review after our experience tonight so here I am! Can't say enough about the sweet people who work here. Thoughtful caring service and they made my daughter feel special on her birthday. The food was delicious and we wish we'd had room to finish it all, but the leftovers will be just as good. We started out with pani puri and a naan breadbasket. The paratha naan was so good! My daughters had the butter chicken and lamb roghan and I had the chicken saag. Everything was scrumptious! We will be back, especially since the birthday girl wanted dessert that she couldn't order because we brought a cheesecake in to surprise her with :) read more

Wow, a hidden gem in Lansdowne! We go here for brunch most every Sunday! A+ Rare treat with buffet is Dosa made to order! read more

Bombay Tandoor - Had the buffet. Here's one of our plates - Desserts Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

We went to celebrate our anniversary at Bombay Tandoor in Lansdowne and brought our 2 sons with us. We shared the lamb chops, butter chicken, & garlic naan. We also ordered saag paneer, but my sons didn't eat that dish. Towards the end of the meal, my older son started feeling ill & had to leave to lay down in the car, then I felt ill about 5 minutes later & left to lay down as well. My husband paid and left with my younger son. Later that evening & into the next morning & day, all 4 of us felt sick with various degrees of abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, & diarrhea. My younger son had to stay home from school the following day & was kept up throughout the night. We believe it was either the butter chicken, the lamb chops, or the naan that made us all feel ill because those are the dishes that we had in common. I called the restaurant as soon as they opened the next evening, around 5 pm, less than 24 hours after eating there to tell them what had occurred with our illnesses. I spoke with Purva. The assistant manager, Rajuor, called us back & said he couldn't refund us without the manager's approval, but that he could give us a credit to come back & that he was sorry to hear what had happened. We told him we didn't have the appetite to want to come back after being ill from the food. Rajuor did not say anything about the need for us to go to the doctor & we could have gone to the doctor if he had told us that was the only way to get a refund because we were all still ill at that time. We did not go to the doctor because we did not feel we were dying & just waited for it to pass, although we were all ill & it lasted until Thursday morning. They said the manager was in China & would have to call us back. The manager & I played phone tag & I just spoke with her today, less than a week after the incident. Her name is Poornima. Poornima told us that if we had been to the doctor, we could have proven to her that it was food poisoning, but without going to the doctor, she has no proof that we got sick. She said if we had gone to the doctor & documented it, she could have refunded us. I told her that was poor business etiquette & we were very disappointed. She also tried to tell me that no one else complained that day & that they had served over 100 people with the same foods at their buffet. She completely dismissed what had occurred & wouldn't take any blame, trying to also tell me that it couldn't have been her restaurant's food because some of us started feeling the effects of the contaminated food within 30 minutes of eating & that if it were food poisoning, it would have taken 6 hours for us to feel the effects. I asked her if she is a doctor & she told me she knows this because she works in the healthcare industry. She kept repeating herself & I told her I wasn't going to argue with her anymore. The restaurant also charged us 18% automatic gratuity when we were only 4 people & when my husband paid with the credit card, the machine asked us to leave gratuity again. I feel that is very deceptive & unusual for a party of 4. I mentioned it to Poornima that we were unhappy about that as well & she said they have it in fine print on their menu & lots of restaurants do this. I have never seen a restaurant do that unless it's a large party. When I referred to the 18% as a tip, Poornima made sure to correct me & told me it wasn't a "tip" & that it was "gratuity". She asked us if we were happy with the service & I confirmed that the service from the waitstaff was fine. Although, I am giving 1 service star in my review for the way Poornima dealt with my complaint & the fact that the restaurant charged us automatic gratuity for just 4 people. We do not plan to go back to this restaurant because of the manager's unprofessional reaction to our complaint about getting sick from the food & her outright denial & disbelief of their food causing our illnesses. This was our 3rd & last time going to this restaurant. We spent $153.76 for the 4 of us. I just reviewed their latest food inspection report through VDH, which was done on March 31, 2026. I now see multiple food handling violations, any of which could cause food-borne illnesses. The manager's lack of taking my complaint seriously was concerning. read more

This is an awesome place and a great new addition to Landsdowne! The ambiance is really nice and the food is absolutely delicious. We had the Butter Chicken, Veggie Biryani, Aloo Gobi and roti/naans. Everything was really so nice and the Butter chicken probably best in the area. The service was fantastic and the wait staff checked on us many times and made great suggestions. We will try the buffet next time as clearly all their dishes will be great! read more

We have eaten Indian food all over the US. This was the best we have ever had! Flavor profile was spot on and the service was impeccable. We will be back!! read more

Went to this place a few days ago and love their buffet. The food was awesome and the price was very reasonable for a buffet.

Food is ok, quantity is ok. They charge 18% gratuity with no information on menu. They apparently charge for buffet too - which is even more insane. I am not going back. read more

We've tried this place twice (once when they first opened and then again recently) and wanted to love and support it. Here is the thing - the service is really bad. We thought maybe it was just that they were new the first time we went but it was even worse the last time. Plan on waiting a half hour at your table just to place a drink or food order. Then another 20 minutes plus for food. No bread on the table, no drink order taken. Judging from other patrons getting up to place orders and track down servers, our experience wasn't unique. The food was good. We'd love to have a good regular dinner place but we won't come back unless it's for the buffet. Really hoping they figure it out! read more
