The take away is so tasty. I'm Scotland and I miss Indian food there, but Bombay is always a good option. Skip the naan and get the paratha instead - so tasty! I love the samosa chaat too. read more

Good food, great tomato coconut soup, and a delicious dish with vegetables and almonds and cream-Navratan Korma!

BEST Mango Lassi I've had in NYC so far! And this is being compared to two different places in Jackson Heights that are said to have "the best mango lassi" - this place definitely has both of them beat! For context, I'm married to an Indian man: we've traveled to India multiple times together and have visited countless Indian restaurants throughout the US. We recently moved to NYC and have already explored a vast number of Indian restaurants since landing here. That said, my husband and I both agree that this restaurant has the best mango lassi in the city. Okay but to back things up, we stopped in here after attending the Oktoberfest that was occurring nearby as we're vegetarian and needed something more filling than a pretzel. We ordered the Chili Paneer and Papdi Chaat appetizers to share along with an order of Papadam. All three of these dishes were tasty and satisfying. This made us both happy! The Chili Paneer was spicy (as it should be), so I ordered us a mango lassi to help bring down the heat - which is what led me to my mango-lassi-rant at the beginning of this review. Haha! Also, I'd like to report that the service was pretty quick and the atmosphere inside was chill. We'll definitely return next time we're in the area! read more

The best Indian food I've ever eaten!! I've lived in various places and none comes close to this one! The samosa chaat is to die for. I left the city and went back to Virginia and thought about it for a week! read more

Daily Iunch special, 12$ for chicken curry and a side which is really good also. Very popular for lunch for local workers and tourists.

Was passing by and seeing this feel like I need to check out and see what they cooks and how delicious it is, So am having chicken fajitas for lunch, who else would like to read more

Solid lunch spot in FiDi that has sustained Covid and continues to deliver. Service is quick and portions are adequate while overall quality and taste of food is above average. Continues to be in my rotation of places for a quick lunch when downtown. Lamb Vindaloo is outstanding with Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan always a good compliment. Recommended. read more

One of the best and most authentic Indian spots that I have experienced. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab which came out quick; it was beautifully marinated and incredibly tinder with the Naan. The curry chicken, and Tikka masala, and veg samosas were packed full of flavor. This experience easily has placed Bombay Indian Restaurant at the top of my list for Indian cuisine. The service was great and the ambiance was also a nice break from the busy NYC streets. Recommend! read more

My go-to for Indian in financial district. Fabulous samosas, and I appreciate that the dishes have a decent level of spice without having to ask, unlike many Indian restaurants that bland it down for supposed American tastes. read more

Top three contender for the best Indian I have ever had. Perfect orders everytime from the staff. I always get take away or delivery but the in house experience during my very brief waits was always one of happiness. We really love their chicken tikka masala and their lamb vindaloo. They have wonderful appetizers emulating street food. The samosas and onion pakora are total fire. The lassi's are super thick as well and come in a variety of daily flavors. We love the mango and sometimes go for a rose. read more

Ok folks. So this is my third time here. First and second visits you can read all about. I'm not ashamed to say I wasn't too impressed. Today I decided to venture in as I was craving some spicy Indian food and today they delivered! I ordered the meat and veg lunch special for $11 and asked the server what the spiciest dish was. He recommended the lamb vindaloo and I had wanted to try their okra so got that as my veg dish along with a naan. Both were delicious and hit the spot. He even gave me a couple of green chilies on the side as I told him I like my food spicy. So give this place a try folks. The food still isn't blow you away amazing...but I intend to try a few more dishes over time to give a more balanced review. They are welcoming and accommodating and their chai is delicious! Great little spot for a quick bite! read more

My husband and I stumbled across this gem right after getting off of the ferry, and oh my God it was amazing. Food was authentic and the spices just blend together so wonderfully. Not over powering at all. Most importantly, the service was the best, I almost felt as if though I was being serviced by a family member because of the attention to detail and recommendations. Our waiter Christopher was outstanding! As vegans, we don't always have the easiest time finding random places, so this was amazing to experience. read more

I'm always here only for the Lunch special, cause it's nearby my office. Pretty good price, not too much meat and lots of veggie n Rice, but it's alright. Still pretty good makes me wanna come back again for my break. They have many tables and chairs to sit down. Humble little Indian place. Recommended. read more

Review for delivery only. Best Indian food in NYC without a doubt. Lamb vindaloo, tikka paneer, daal makhani, aloo tikkiya, tomatoe shorba. I recommend ordering the tandoori veggies on the side. Don't bother with most of the sit down "gourmet" indian restaurants, you're better off eating this in your studio apartment or hotel studio than overpaying for oversauced indian somewhere else. Bombay's easily surpasses anything I've seen the Times review. read more

This food did not miss!!! Needed to find something quick right by my hotel & was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this restaurant. I came during lunch and they have lunch specials ranging $10-13. BIG portions of food and everything tasted so good!!! I would eat here three times a day if I could. I've had Chana Masala before so I knew what to expect. The Chatpadi Bindhi was something new for me and I'm not a big fan of okra but this dish is very rich in flavor!! They have a wide selection of vegetarian options. I'll have to come back but it's so worth it!! read more

I chose chicken tikka masala entree and tandoori vegetables. For the bread I chose to pay $1 extra for the garlic naan (vs plain naan). Highly recommend these choices! read more

I always go to this Indian restaurant and recommend it for some the best Indian food you can find in the city! I usually always get the chicken tikka masala or chicken korma but recently the manager Christopher suggested the Chana Bhatura and I love it! Filling and only $15. they look out for their customers and recommend the best. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Ask for Christopher! The sweetest kindest manager and he always gives us free treats at the end. And the mango lassi is delicious You won't regret the food & service, 5 stars ! read more

This was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. I popped in for a quick late lunch yesterday around 2:45pm. I work about a block from here, and Bombay's is a bit under the radar compared to other nearby establishments, including most of the ones on its own block - Fraunces Tavern and Dead Rabbit on the other side on Water Street are nearby neighbors. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I walked in, but it was definitely much more casual than I assumed from the exterior. It's one step up from self-service buffet style, and they were expecting mine to be a to-go order - there is no wait service here, nor is it needed. It's very no-frills, and gives off almost an ethnic fast food vibe. If you're looking for a formal white tablecloth experience, this isn't it. The guy manning the food counter was very helpful/informative without being condescending. Indian food is not my wheelhouse, and I'm not ashamed to claim ignorance in that regard. Without my having to ask a lot of questions, he picked up on my lack of knowledge and immediately offered a few free samples so I could figure out which meats went best with my palate. I opted for their two meat/side of naan lunch special, which came to about $16 or $17. I have to think chicken tikka masala is the best known of the mainstream Indian dishes or close to it; it's one I've actually had before and enjoyed - that was an easy call. My initial second selection was a lamb dish that the guy immediately cautioned was spicy, and he offered me a quick nip to confirm. I could have handled it theoretically, but it was a LITTLE too much for my palate. Instead I opted for the curry chicken. I was again given the caveat that most of that dish had bone in it, but when I demurred and asked if I could double up on the tikka masala, he immediately told me he'd just give me the boneless chunks of the breast meat instead. Very pleasant fellow, and a significant part of the positive experience overall. I loved the chicken tikka masala. It was honestly one of the better versions I've had, with a sauce that was just the right balance of milkiness and tomato. In both chicken dishes, the meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. I wasn't as crazy about the curry sauce - it was a little too bland, which is rare for me to say when it comes to Indian food. So in the future, I'd probably just steer clear and zero in again on the tikka masala. For my naan side, they let me have the garlic one, which was very scrumptious. Not the best I've had, but solid overall - not as airy and crispy as I usually like it, but it was devoured promptly nonetheless. The service was excellent for what it was. Again, you didn't have a waiter involved in the meal, so my experience was limited to the fellow behind the food display and the guys over on the other side prepping the naan. Beyond the informative guidance provided by the gentleman with the meats, I thought it was kind of sweet that the two cooks over at the naan station profusely apologized for the wait on the garlic naan, which amounted to...maybe 30 seconds. Clearly high standards on the turnaround. This is a little pricey for a super casual, fast food-type experience, even for the area. As a result this probably won't be a regular spot but I can certainly envision myself being a repeat customer in the not-too-distant future. read more

Bombay's Indian Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala, Curry Chicken and Garlic Naan. - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Absolutely phenomenal. If you want great Indian food at a good price, come here. Very good service. Great naan.

The Tikka Masala here and chicken lollipops are so good and flavorful. I love ordering the meal for one because it comes with an app and entree and a side of rice. I wouldn't say it blows me out of the water but definitely a solud spot. read more

I just moved to FiDi last month and so I am on a hunt for my new go-to Indian food spot. I ordered from here on Monday - we got garlic naan, paneer tikka masala and samosa chaat. I really liked the samosa chaat, it hit the spot. Only thing is that I asked for no cilantro on top, yet it came with cilantro on top. The garlic naan was really good and I was able to rewarm so it wasn't soggy. The paneer tikka masala was interesting, the gravy didn't taste like normal gravy.. it was more on the tangy tomato paste side, not on the creamy side. I also asked for this to be spicy but it was not. We also did a cost analysis across of couple of places that do deliver by me and this one was the most reasonably priced so that's good. Also this place serves rice complementary with the entree so that's a good perk that I didn't expect in NYC. I am still going to be on the hunt for my go-to Indian but this place wasn't bad but didn't woo me read more

Bombay's Indian Restaurant - Samosa Chaat - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Bombay's Indian Restaurant offers meals that have fairly good value. I got the Meal for One with Chicken Vindaloo, Boti Kebab (Lamb), and plain naan bread. The chicken and potatoes in the Chicken Vindaloo were delicious, especially with rice, but unless you have a very high spice tolerance, I would recommend getting a different entree. The Boti Kebab was okay but I would have liked it more if it was more tender. The naan was above average in my book. Very soft and perfect for dipping. read more

Right before Christmas I had a craving for Saag Paneer so during the lunch I decided to order two days worth of food via UberEats. The packaging and delivery was on point, everything was so fresh. I ordered my Saag Paneer, basmati rice and Peshawari Naan, which is naan made with almonds and raisins. There was no lunch special but the portions were generous enough that the order last two days. I didn't know that the saag paneer came with rice so I should not have order the extra side of rice. I definitely would order from this place again. read more

This was a pretty standard Indian restaurant. I tried the kadai paneer with garlic naan, which tasted decent.

Great Indian food for lunch. Everything is tasty, from paneers to masalas, vegetarians or meats! Have not been disappointed. Price is reasonable. Place is clean and staff is pleasant. read more

Wonderful food, service and location. Definitely a great spot to visit in New York for authentic Indian food.

This was a pleasant surprise as we were par-oozing the streets in search of dinner. They were so lovely and kind to our kids and even gave them a little mango lassi. The gesture went a long way! Some of the best naan I've had! I will say, the chicken was mostly dark meat and the sauces were definitely not mild. I would say a 5.9-10 on a spicy scale and we asked for very mild. So be prepared for that. read more

found this place on Yelp and was not disappointed! The staff was friendly, courteous, and food came out quick. The price was very affordable considering the large portions and the food was delicious.

Love these folks -- my favorite Indian food in the area!! Super flavorful, good portions, lovingly prepared, reliable delivery, and - vitally - very accommodating of vegans. Most items on the vegetarian menu can be made vegan if you specify it in your order notes. Generally this just means the replacement of butter/ghee, so the dish is virtually identical and just as delicious. P.S. if you're ordering delivery or pickup, I'd recommend going straight to their website -- they're very responsive and I believe it reduces fees on both sides. Highly recommended! Thanks for being so accommodating to vegans so we can enjoy this delicious food. Our favorites are the black or yellow Daal (lentils), Rajma (kidney beans -- we don't see this too often but it's delicious), and of course Chana Masala. They'll also vegan-ize the Paratha bread on request, which can be hard to find! read more
