Beautiful inside
Natalia E.

My husband and I have recently tried (twice) and absolutely love and would love to share our experience (both ordering takeout). If you are a fan of Indian food, you definitely have to try Bombay Street Cafe. All their foods and sauces are scratch made. Their tandoori chicken is our #1 tandoori chicken after 2 big orders. Chicken biryani is fantastic, and their mint chutney are our new favorites. We are huge fans of Indian food and go at least once a week to an Indian restaurant in our area. We wanted to check out the new restaurant and are not disappointed. In fact, we think their prices are reasonable and will be back frequently. Take a look at their vast menu on their website, as well as their lunch special $8.99 veg combo or $9.99 for non-veg combo. Stop by and tell them Natalia highly recommended them.

Lentil Soup
Tedi B.

As I was sitting waiting on my food I saw a bunch of dismal reviews. I got worried, so, I decided to pay extra attention to all aspects of this meal. I tried to document it all. I am a white girl who can handle moderate spice married to a white guy who tolerates none. This was a medium spice butter and zero spice biryani, to test, for him for future dinners. I appreciated the fact they left out all spice, thus it affected the overall taste for me. He would be pleased tho. Certainly not an Indian food expert. Started of with the lentil soup, definitely not what I was expecting as it's blended and very thin but wholly flavorful and a touch spicy, it comes with a veggie cream sauce. Super delicious!! I absolutely loved the soup! Butter chicken a okay, made with white meat chicken, I'd definitely prefer dark or I'll go with Paneer. It was fine. Not award winning but average butter chicken. And please don't take average as bad, it was good! Spiced as I asked. Medium. We enjoyed the cream cheese stuffed naan for a change of pace, didn't really get much garlic or butter. Chicken Biryani was okay, I didn't think it had much flavor, I used some sauce and I liked it better. Not bad but a bit bland. But also had zero spice, please remember that. I loved the hot Masala tea, on a chilly winter day. They serve it unsweetened so I added some sweetener and it was yummy. I found it to be an average/good experience with the soup, tea & naan, very good. The quality was good and everything was fresh. Certainly not a one star meal. I think some of those reviews were skewed in some way or just plain nasty. They were very nice and helpful. I would return. I had a horrible overly spicy experience at Desi Aroma, zero customer service. I would not return there, ever.

Mango Lassi

Worst Mango lassi. They just made with curd , sugar and food color. No mango flavor. Very watery. Do not recommend this restaurant

Onion Pakora Half
Hannah B.

I never leave reviews, I just come for the food pics but since this place doesn't have many yet, I thought I'd leave mine here! Came here for late lunch take-out. Took about 15 min to get my food which isn't bad at all. Everything I got was AMAZING and I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!! Aloo tikki chaat was probably my favorite of what I got. Butter paneer masala w rice 4/5 Garlic butter naan 5/5 Onion pakora half 5/5 Aloo tikki chaat 5/5 (or 1000000/5, whatever) Also the portions are great, this is going to turn into 2.5-3 meals for me lol

SK was very nice and the atmosphere was awesome. We took our food to go! But he made us feel so welcome!! And the FOOD IS SO GOOD!!

I will definitely come back . The samosas are phenomenal!! Thank you SK!!! I can't wait to try more

Nice place

This carnivore was very pleasantly surprised. I was along for the ride so I honestly don't know…read morewhat was ordered. What I can say is that this place was happening. I've never seen so many brown people in my life in Dallas so you know it's legit. The wait was clearly an indicator of the popularity of this place and I could not believe how it went on and on inside. I should've counted how many people were working! The little chips were fun to munch on and I admit that I definitely had fun putting them on my fingers. I thought this was going to be healthy but no- the oil and the butter was insane. Between the roti and the crepe thing and all of the dipping sauces, just delicious. Will absolutely come back! Last thing, be careful as the floor is a bit slippery.

As someone who is always on the lookout for authentic Indian food, especially the kind that reminds…read moreyou of home, Bharat Bhavan had been on my radar for a while. A place that promises a mix of South Indian classics along with Indo-Chinese favorites always piques my curiosity. So we decided to stop by and give it a try. Located in Frisco, Texas it is fairly easy to find. Parking was also manageable, which is always a plus. The place has a casual and welcoming vibe, nothing overly fancy, but comfortable and inviting. Even on a Tuesday, the place was packed. Fortunately, we had called and reserved a place. The décor leans toward a traditional Indian restaurant feel with a simple setup that keeps the focus on the food. We were soon seated and provided with Fryums, which we finished within a minute. The server wad happy to answer questions about the menu. We decided to explore a variety of items from different sections of the menu and the food came out at a reasonable pace. We ordered: 1 Mushroom ghee roast 1 Baby corn manchurian 1 Onion chilli uttapam 1 Benne dosa 1 Chole bhature 1 Set dosa with salna 1 Jackfruit biryani The 'Mushroom ghee roast', was truly excellent with great flavors. The mushrooms were nicely coated in the rich, spicy ghee roast masala, delivering that bold South Indian punch. Next came the 'Baby corn Manchurian',, a classic Indo-Chinese favorite. The baby corn had a good crunch and the sauce had that familiar tangy-spicy flavor you associate with hakka cuisine. For the dosa section, we tried the 'benne dosa', which had a nice buttery flavor and crisp texture- simple yet satisfying. The 'Set dosa with Salna' was soft and fluffy, and the salna added a nice aromatic gravy element to the dish. The 'Onion chilli uttapam' was thick, soft, and generously topped with brown onions, making it a comforting bite. All the above South Indian dishes were great but what blew us away was the 3 chutneys: Tamarind, Spicy Tomato Chilli and Green Peanut. They were absolutely delicious and took the food to another level. The Sambhar however was decent but not that great. Moving to the North Indian side, the 'Chole bhature' came with fluffy bhature and well-spiced chole. We absolutely loved the depth of flavor. Finally, the 'Jackfruit biryani' was an interesting and enjoyable dish. The jackfruit worked surprisingly well as a meat substitute, absorbing the biryani spices nicely and adding a unique texture. However, some of us found it to be bit more on the tangy side. To Foodies: If you enjoy exploring a wide range of Indian flavors, from South Indian breakfast classics to Indo-Chinese appetizers and hearty North Indian dishes, this place is worth checking out. The menu offers variety, and it's a good spot if you want to try multiple styles of Indian cuisine in one sitting. To Management: You have a solid and diverse menu that covers many Indian favorites. Continuing to maintain consistency in flavor and presentation will go a long way. A few standout dishes highlighted on the menu or recommendations from staff could also help first-time visitors navigate the wide selection. Overall Rating: 8.4 / 10 Signing off: Rahul V.S. aka CanIndian Foodie
