This place is so simple and yet has a great fan following. Almost always busy and filed with Indian vegetarian crowd. Oh and did I forget! This place only serves vegetarian food. Apparently they have two branches in London. The other one is in Southall. I haven't been there ever, so I wouldn't be able to confirm if the food and quality is the same. But looking at the number of people flocking in during weekends, you cannot doubt the awesomeness of their food. Anyone who loves Indian street food, called chat would love to try out the selection here. It is pretty amazing. And if you have had your meal and want to top it up with some delicious Indian sweets get ready for another treat. However all that is great. But never order tea from here. Tea is actually tea flavoured milk. So much milk that I could barely taste the tea. So apart from that everything else is just the best.

Really would have given a 1 star review except for the cheery welcome and goodbye by the lady owner on entry and exit. Ordered saag and makki ki roti, after 15 minutes the one member of staff said it was unavailable. I asked why and he said kitchen is busy doing other things, how long do I have to wait, 40 minutes. Instead ordered idli which comes with a bowl of sambar. The sambar was tasty and had a good balance between spices and heat, the masala dosa was cold and filling small. Three times Mum gestured towards the waiter that we're still waiting for our tandoori naan, he acknowledged each time but in the end no naan appeared he'd forgotten to instruct the kitchen. Went to pay the bill and just as usual the naan had been added to the bill so I then had to explain we never got the naan, the lady scanned our table suspiciously but could see we were correct. I explained how poor the experience was and she said they got unexpectedly busy but it wasn't busy at all, they just always run this and the Southall location on a skeleton staff. The final straw came when a Sikh family ordered the saag and makki ki roti takeaway at the counter which was about 40 minutes later then when we were first told it was unavailable, they were told something else that they had run out of saag. The grocery store next to Chini Chor sells spinach so could easily have been resolved.

I opted for the nair dosa full of veggies and was quite pleased with the heft and types of veggies inside: beetroot, onion, potatoes, carrots (I think), etc. Really tasty and filling. However, the rasa idli was very bland and I tossed two of them away at home. The uznunappam was also blander than I would have liked. I would still return for the dosa and some other selections if in the area.

Your curries are still great (vegetarian selection starting at £3.90) and your lemon rice so, so tasty. Sadly, your sister just has far more buzz about her. She is the Kylie to your Dannii, the Beyonce to your Solange, the Britney to your Jamie-Lynn (pre-crazy of course!). The food here is still high quality but the service slightly lacking. I hate being seated against the window of an empty restaurant- it's always uncomfortable to have people looking in, staring at your food and weighing up whether it's worth popping in. There was a little fuss when we asked to move tables but to give Rasa its credit, they shifted us over fairly swiftly. We shared a poppadom selection which was great but spiced chicken chutney had an unpleasant foamy texture. The two vegetarian curries we ordered were very tasty but we had to choose from half the selection we could have had across the road. Sharing an over sized beer kept the price down to a reasonable £10 a head. All in all, good, but not great, try Rasa Vegetarian instead!

I opted for the vegetarian feast tasting menu. Ay. Ay. Ay.

Not their best work) Service was a little slow, as they were slammed and basically only had one waiter upstairs. Everyone was super nice tho. There was a bit of a lag between courses, but other than that, it was a great dining experience! I'd go back, no doubt.

Our waiter was incredibly friendly and was happy to help us with any questions. Our friends recommended this place and told us we had to try the Beet Cheera Pachadi and Parantha. We also ordered the Konju Manga Curry and Seafood Starter. It's definitely different from any Indian place I've tried but I'm still coming out of my American shell and making sure to order things other than the Chicken Tikka Masala ;) Both curry dishes (I think they were both curry) had incredible flavours. Sweet and subtle but nice hints of savoury from the shrimp. Both were also very different. The Beet option was the most unique and I really enjoyed it. I could have done without the starter but it was interesting to try the multiple items. The prantha though... holy crap that was amazing! It's like a flatter more sweet naan. We both gobbled it down. (I did just say gobbled.) We had to order two.

We got the kefta starter, chicken biryani, and lamb korma. I also tried the lychee pomegranate mocktail which was sooo good. Every single item we ordered was so good!!! We were so full by the end of dinner we didn't even try any dessert, which I'm sure would've been phenomenal. If you can try this restaurant, please do! The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had, so a big thank you to them!

Of course, everything was delicious as we were just happy to sit and enjoy a fabulous meal. Throughout the evening, the service was genuinely welcoming, kind, and attentive.

We were able to get seated as walk-ins for an early weeknight dinner, but typically, reservations fill up quickly. The menu includes a mix of classics and more inventive dishes, and my group of four ordered a couple of starters and a few larger plates to share. To begin, we ordered tandoori chicken and beet croquettes. The chicken was a tad salty, but the beet croquettes were excellent. Just the right amount of sweetness, spice, and crunch, we agreed the beets were one of the best dishes we tasted. Our next round included the tomato chicken curry (similar to butter chicken), eggplant in mustard sauce, aloo gobi, and naan. We absolutely inhaled every last morsel, but the unanimous favorite was the eggplant. You can rarely go wrong with sauteed eggplant, but Chourangi's eggplant dish featured a tangy and slightly sweet mustard sauce that was unlike anything we've ever tasted before. One of the members of our group, who typically detests eggplant, went back for second and third helpings. The tomato chicken curry was also delicious, and we had to order extra rice so none of the sauce went to waste. Service was quick, although when we ordered water at the start of our meal, our server brought out bottled water instead of tap water - typically, tap water is the default, but we were not given a choice. Overall, the food was delicious - we actually tried to return to Chourangi on a different day, but the reservations were all booked. Next time!

Overall, would definitely recommend Bombay for anyone looking to get a good Indian meal in London!
