Dropped by last week and I was the first customer and I choose the seat right next to the buffet for efficiency, it was a blissful 20 minutes with just the buffet and I (and my server who was super nice and on point of the freshly table side naan bread delivery). I had a moment with the buffet like the song from Alica Keys "The Piano and I" with Beethoven Moonlight Sonata's intro theme going on. But it was the "Buffet and I", it was memorable. Again, their tandoori chicken was so smokey and well executed. The butter chicken was very tomato based that day and the moist chicken breast was super tender. I appreciated the mint sauce, tamarind chutney, fruit salad and the rice "dessert". I don't recall the price, but it was about $24 plus tip/tax for lunch buffet now. read more

Took more then 10 mins for the butter chicken so expensive and barely any chicken they put too much stuff into it the flavor was too strong overpowers the rice by too much I couldn't finish it as the flavor was too insane it's better to go to the pizza 64 beside this shop as this is trash food service and was horrible and just in the shop was a strong Indian scent that almost made me throw up sanitary was horrible read more

Best service and food weve had in a long time. So flavorful. Reasonable prices. Comfortable seating/liggting and decor. Mmmmmm... so full. Nite. read more

I enjoy Indian food with just a touch of heat, thus I order it 'mild'. Even 'mild' is fragrant, layered, smoky and tangy to this palate. However, at The Bombay, you can also order in the "hot" range (sorry I cannot personally attest to HOW firey the 'hot' tastes). I have eaten inside (smells so good!) and more frequently ordered take-out. My go-to dishes are: Butter Chicken, Pakora (Fish, Veggie or Chicken), Samosa's, Roganjosh, Masala Kulcha and Garden Salad. It is approximately $12-15 for a lunch entree (w/rice and nan) and approximately $16 for a dinner entree (w/rice and nan). Appetizers and sides range from $2-$10. I have noticed that the staff is kept consistently busy with take-out orders so they are sometimes more distracted than others. I have always been treated graciously however. On one occasion the family even waited patiently, after hours so my friend could return to fetch the scarf she had forgotten at the restaurant. read more

Excellent Job. Take out order was smooth as gee. Right on time. Lamb Vindaloo, Tikka Chicken Masala, Vegetable Bryiani, Naan All done really well. We encourage everyone to give them a try. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. DONT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE KIDS . Food is not great. The guy at the main who wears glasses scared my 2 year old . My kid was just playing around with us he didn't break anything did not yell or cried . Happily playing . The guy came at first and told us to stop him putting a spoon in a empty glass? And said in front of him *stop him .ITS BAD* my 2 year old was not sure what he did wrong . Later my kid just put little black pepper in the water glass he came back and said what if it goes in people eye? I was thinking will you guys not clean and put the used glass away how will it go into someone's eyes? Whole time he was turning around to see what my kid was doing . Made our dine in totally unpleasant and unhappy . Not going back ever . read more

58/100 First off, I don't know why there are two listings for this restaurant on Yelp. The other one is The Bombay or something and it's the same restaurant, but THIS ONE was started FIRST 2010, if I am correct. Anyway, I had a great time. A group of us ladies went for the 9.99$ lunch buffet and were not disappointed. There was lots of hot fresh food coming out. The atmosphere was lively and as my GF enjoys....men in uniform. Several of them actually. So we enjoyed everything on the buffet. Twice!!! :P I will return for some Pakoras if I am out that way. If you wanna go try lunch. The restaurant was nicely decorated, you can tell the stenciling ,must have taken quiet sometime. And i like seeing cleaning supplies by the bathroom, i took that as a good sign. The owners were very friendly the server was attentive leaving water jugs and bringing extra napkins. read more

The Bombay - Lovely decorated restaurant. Very clean. - Indian Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Indian buffets! Almost as good as the classic Chinese smorgasbord! I really like butter chicken, and I love naan bread, so there's no better place than Indian buffets for lunch (and dinner). I tried The Bombay for the first time. Kinda' small selection of items, which is tough for a buffet, but the food was good and service was very good. When you don't over stuff yourself and can still walk out unassisted, it's a good buffet day! Good value for $13 lunch buffet. The chicken and veggie dishes were good. The naan was perfectly baked! Worth a visit. read more

Great place close to home for sudden curry cravings. I come in for the lunch buffet and always leave full and content. There is a variety of meat and vegetarian curries, as well as sweet dishes etc. my favorite dish has to be the aloo gobi. The service is great as well. Your water is constantly refilled in case you run into something too spicy. read more

The Bombay - Indian Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

I have been coming here for years. Many more years to come. Top notch service. Warm and welcoming. I am not sure if they changed hands but they started serving dark meat chicken so you must ask for white meat. read more

After many frequent visits to The Bombay over the years I figured it's time to share my experiences at this delightful Indian restaurant on the border of Poco and Coquitlam. As far as I can remember I've been coming here, and although ownership may have changed the service and flavours remain outstanding. You can find The Bombay in Westwood Centre, which has two entrances(one on Lougheed next to the Nissan dealership and another on Christmas Way off of Westwood St). Now I know when that craving hits for Indian we all are jumping in the car and ready to go, but Bombay isn't open the traditional hours. They have a lunch and dinner service which means they close between 2:30 to 5:00 in the afternoon for prep. As well they are closed on Tuesday's so no dinner and cheap movies at the theater for you! Anyways, once inside you'll notice it's not overly bright and has quite a nice ambiance. You are quickly greeted by one of their friendly staff members who will fill up your glasses with water and give you some menu's. I tend to opt for the vegetarian dishes such as the Paneer Pakora's, Malai Kofta & Shahi Paneer but the meat dishes like Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken are super tasty too. Just a tip as well, some the the dishes that are already seasoned with salt tend to have extra salt added. If you aren't a fan of overly salty food just ask your server to simply not have extra salt added. Enough of that though, overall this is a great place to dine and I highly recommend giving The Bombay a try. Your taste buds definitely won't complain. read more

AMAZING food!!! best Indian we have experienced in many months. the service was outstanding!!!! Compliments to the chef! Great portion size, great tender fish and lamb! Definitely recommend, huge menu selection for amazing prices and lovely traditional Indian beer. Many thanks to Mr.K from Charlie and Phil! read more

First off, I don't know why there are two listings for this restaurant on Yelp. The other one is The Bombay 2001 Ltd or something and it's the same restaurant. The two stars is exactly what it says, "Meh. I've experienced better." I ordered to go tonight because I was craving Indian sweets and felt like a creamy lamb curry as well. I had to call three times. The first time I was put on hold (forever) by this lady and I had to hang up. I figured, fair enough if they're smoking busy. The second time, another lady picks up but due to the miserable weather, my cell phone reception cut off. No matter, tonight I will have my Lamb Butter Masala, Ras Malai and Gulab Jamun. I called the third time, about 22 minutes ahead of pick up and finally a gentleman picks up and takes my order, no fuss, straight to the point. I arrived at 7:15PM to find out that they are not that busy, about 4-5 tables in a restaurant that could definitely fill up to 150 people. There was one server running around. Although it seemed to me that the dine-in customers were getting treated well, I found the take out service a bit wanting in terms of friendlier customer service. I walked in to stand at the counter for an awkward 5 minutes because the gentleman behind the counter was chatting with another customer and a lady who popped out from the kitchen to say a few words in Indian to him. Nobody even greeted me. My food bill came to $27, ordering two portions each of the dessert (so 4 ras malai piees, 4 gulab jamun donut pieces and a small order of the lamb curry). I found it quite pricey for the amount of food and the area they're in, but otherwise the food tastes like your standard Indian fare, not horrible, but not spectacular either. I say in today's economy, spend your money somewhere else with better service and better food. Oh well. It sucks because I've been looking for a regular Indian take out place and so far none of the places in the Tricities can hold a candle to anywhere in Delta or downtown Vancouver, which is too far for a regular weekday takeout. read more

Whoa..could I have more water to go along with my salt? I am not sure if my expectations were set too high as I had just last week had a fantastic Indian lunch across the country or if the food was actually that bad. Samosas-Too salty and very dry. Naan-Decent Roti-Dry Chicken Vindaloo-First off I asked for hot - 'indian hot' and it came out quite mild. The taste was a little off. Butter Chicken=First bite was ok, was too rich. Veggie Curry-Way too salty and not very much sauce. I usually don't really care about price but the portions were quite small for the $$. Skip it. read more

I have eaten here (and had take-out) many times. They have never disappointed. Their food is delicious, and it's consistent. They aim to please and have always hit the mark. We have by now eaten most items from the menu at least once. We even brought some Indian friends with us to get their perspective on authenticity - they loved it too. Do yourself a favour - go eat there. read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant in the tricities! The food is always very tasty and full of authentic flavours- nice and clean. You ask for hot you get HOT!! Great place for vegetarians, definitely recommend to try! read more

The Bombay - Indian Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

This place, is by far THE best Indian restaurant I've visited. I've visited many other and their food is just not even close to the tastiness of The Bombay. My husband and I love spicy food so we know to order our food "Indian hot" and if you love spicy food, you won't be disappointed. This place is simple and clean, no fancy decor. If you are looking for wholesome Indian food without having to go through a pretentious experience, this is the place. Service is excellent, all the waiters/servers are super friendly and attentive. If you want a good spicy dish, try their chicken korma, Indian hot. This is my all time favorite. It's true that you will need to pay extra for naan and rice, but since my price comparison is dining in downtown Vancouver, I still find their food very reasonably priced for the quality and how delicious is. HIGHLY recommended! read more

We are regulars and it is good take out! However...they changed the take out size foil tins to a smaller size and didnt mention that to us seeing as how we take out once a week. No biggie in the grand scheme. Then they messed up our order 4 times in a row no huge mistakes but after awhile when they should know our orders off heart it gets annoying. A few days ago I ordered the butter chicken which is normally awesome, I kid you not I think they actually watered down the sauce?! So due to all these annoying things I'm bringing it down to 30 stars quality is going way down! This review kills me because this place was one of my favs! Bring up the quality and I will be loyal agian! read more

I went there about 5 months ago and their was dried up food all over our dishwear. When we addressed this to our waiter all he said was "yeah, they all look like that because our steamers is broken" so we ended up leaving. I returned hoping after 5 months they would had got their steamer fixed by now. When I looked at my glass it had dried up onions all over it. It made me sick to look at unfortunately, I will not be returning due to their cleanliness. read more

I grew up in an Indian neighbourhood and know a good samosa when I taste one...the Bombay definitely makes an excellent one! My favourites are the Prawn Vindaloo, Lamb Butter Masala, Chicken Korma and the naan! OK, I have a lot of favourites, but when everything tastes so good, it is hard to pick favourites! read more

A friend and I decided to go here for some Indian food before work. Being on a relatively tight timeline (we had to be gone in an hour, as in fed, paid, done) we made sure to ask the waiter if this was possible. Reinforcing that we had to be walking out the door in an hour or less, he said this was not a problem. After quickly looking at the menu we each ordered relatively simple dishes (nothing that would take a long time to make - that would be unfair given the timeline). Minutes passed, then ten minutes, then fifteen. Around this time is when you usually see something from the kitchen, as it was not a busy night (us and about three other tables). Another ten minutes passed, and I asked the waiter when we could expect our food. "It's coming right out". Annnddd another twenty minutes go by. Forty five minutes (as in almost an hour) after ordering, our food arrived. I couldn't believe it. It took at least five minutes for us to order, so that meant we were around the 55 minute mark - five minutes isn't enough to eat a meal. We had to get it packed up, which took the remaining five minutes. All in all, we essentially sat for an hour in a restaurant to order take-out. I made sure at the outset to mention our timeline. I asked several times how things were going. I feel that I was lied to. "Coming right out" doesn't mean twenty minutes. I've had Bombay take-out before and it was always great. The quality of the food is always high. It's unfortunate that this experience has soured my view of the restaurant's service. I'd recommend doing take-out only. read more

I hate leaving restaurants bad reviews especially when the service is top notch. I loved our server; he was very attentive and always made sure our water was filled. The buffet, however, just was meh. Butter chicken was just okay. Pakora were cold. Rice dish was very very plain. There weren't any samosas on the buffet which was disappointing for us. The cantaloupe and honeydew were good. Channa masala was pretty good. We were feeling unsatisfied after eating here and won't return. read more

Again - really wish I had the option of giving this place a half star. The waiter was totally on the ball and super polite. Food was delish (butter chicken, Aloo Gobi, and garlic naan), and although the portions seems small, looks can be deceiving. We had enough leftovers for 2 meals for around $45. Will definitely be returning here next time I'm out in Poco. read more

The fare was very delicious, if not a tad spendy for a small bowl of sauce with a few cubes of meat (we had Butter Chicken [recommended to me] and Kalahai Lamb). Disappointing that they charge extra for rice and nan bread! That brings them down a star. Looking beyond slow and inattentive service (I had to get up twice to ask for water refills, and our requested extra napkins came just as we were finishing our meal), the food had great flavor. The best Northern Indian food I have eaten in quite some time. read more

The place is nice and clean. The food and service was excellent. My only issue: When I asked to have my food packed (the very delicious butter chicken - Highly recommend!) .... I got home to find the waitress packed the rice and naan bread! Did not pack the butter chicken!!!! WTF!!!!! Love the food - but honestly! When you pack the food for take out, we don't care about the rice or nann bread.... I wanted my fucking left over butter chicken! read more

My favorite Indian Restaurant in the area. Went with my family and we all enjoyed delicious full flavors in each dish. We should not stop raving about the great flavor, and sharing with eachother. My only complaint would be it was not as spicy as I would have preferred despite asking for hot. But I am not the best judge, as I prefer things spicier then most. Next time I will ask for extra spicy. read more

They must be so busy they can not take orders. Called tonight after over 10 rings they answered only to put me on hold and then they cut me off. Called back and now all i get is busy signal. Keep trying to give them another chance but this establishment seems to be going down hill. read more

Just ate here for dinner. Food was absolutely delicious. Told the server how hungry I was and he was so great and brought our food out so quickly. He even surprised us with a top up of our mango lassi. Am more than pleased with this place and will definitely be back. read more

Great for buffet lunch. Only $9.99!!! However, we came near the end of the buffet and they ran out of naan bread. The curries were good but a bit watery for my liking. I would be back for the buffet lunch for the price. read more

Well this is the place for the craving fixer for Indian food , the best I've had ! The cook is amazing! Authentic real flavour packed food and the naan is the best I've had ! The decor needs freshening a bit , read more

Here for dinner. Not worth the price. Small tiny bowl of curry for about $15. Disappointing. Glasses aren't clean completely. Over priced if not here for lunch buffet. Also, 2 hours later had food poisoning. Literally puked all out. Tummy still hurts now. read more

The food was really good, I have no real complaints and the service was lovely too! I especially really like the butter chicken and the fresh naan. The bread was incredible warm and delicious, I ordered extra! The service was well done too, it wasn't top notch, but probably because of how busy it was at that point. Also, parking was widely available so I was happy with that. All in all, so great! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets. I consider The Bombay to be serving the most delicious Indian food I have ever tasted. Anytime I think of this place my mouth waters. All the spices are so complex and delicious, with everything tasting so good, its a challenge not to stuff yourself, don't worry you can take away leftovers. I highly recommend my favorite dishes. Medium Spicy!: -Shahi Paneer -Chicken Roganjosh -Chicken Vindaloo - Vegetable Pakoras - Paneer Butter Masala All dishes has the option of adding rice and naan, which is a must. The naan comes hot and is slightly sweet. The rice has the perfect amount of cloves and spices without being overbearing. With so many options I have hardly made a dent in their menu. Dining here with friends is a treat so you can each order something different, and sample each others. The food is delivered in small metal serving dishes so this is done easily. read more

Outstanding restaurant. Very clean, excellent service and the best Indian buffet I have tried on the lower mainland to date.

Went with a group of 7 for dinner for the 1st time and were amazed by the service and food quality. Great vegetarian selection with all entrees costing only $9.95 as listed on their website. We ordered Malai Kofta (the best), Paneer Tikka Masala (good for a change and probably a better alternative to Cheese Chilly), Shahi Paneer (very good), Veg Korma (excellent with crispy vegetables), Dal Maharani (average) and best part was that they all had distinct gravies/flavours. Malai Kofta was the best but had only around 4 large pieces (like most restaurants). Veg fried rice was disappointing though since it tasted too sour (excess vinegar?) and was overpriced. Great naans and rotis though. The server was really nice and accepted our second order in the last half an hour before closing. I look forward to trying their lunch buffet next time! read more

One of the best restaurants in the area. Standout naan and palak paneer, and perfect pakora. Pricey, but worth e

went here with my wife for their $11.99 lunch buffet. The atmosphere was comfy and the service was friendly. The food was a little bit too salty for our taste but we still enjoyed it. read more

I LOVE their tandoori chicken. It is super moist. And I'm talking about their lunch buffet, where most lunch buffet foods are overcooked and dry. Butter chicken is fantastic as the sauce is very creamy and not too sweet or tangy. I can drink that butter chicken sauce but it goes so well with the garlic naan. Their lunch buffet is totally worth it. read more

A Deal breaker for me and my family. This is our top Indian restaurant when in town. Awesome food, clean establishment and for $10.99 lunch buffet, where else? read more

Last time I went here was 4 years ago. When I came here again this time around the quality was still the same. Impressive! I always order their butter chicken and naan bread. Their butter chicken is flavorful and you can see the spices they use. Naan bread is a good size. read more
