I don't like being negative in reviews but this place is dreadful.
We wandered over from the pub just before closing time and should have guessed it was not popular as there were 3 other people. One of them was yelling for water after biting into a chilli nan?
We had to wait quite a while after we ordered and then it arrived. It looked unappetising especially the sag panir which looked like a mound of very wet spinach and some cheddar cheese.
I had a mouthful of my Malay curry and it was tasteless. No condiments on the table and I had to walk to the bar and get some salt. It didn't help. My rice was semi cooked and hard.
While I braved nearly half of my meal my partner had one mouthful and said yuk and stopped eating.
The staff stood and stared at us all the time as if they wanted us to go and began cashing up.
To me this is the time Indian places fill up. Once the pubs shut. No-one came in.
We asked for the bill and got dirty looks. They threw a chocolate each at us (cheap and nasty) and when we had our coats on a lemon reeking towel.
As we walked out they asked if we had enjoyed it. We hadn't eaten it! My partner said No it was terrible! and they said Thank you sir and bolted the door.
Don't bother going unless you like uneatable food. We may as well have thrown our money away! Definately one to miss!
Just found this review on the restraunts web site:
I went for a meal at the Bombay the other day and I was impressed with the decor. I wasn't impressed with the food, which wasn't very good. I then find out that they received zero stars from their recent environmental health visit. That means that they're a health risk. How can places like this remain open?

Bad food and really bad Service - review added on Mon 26th Mar 2007
Got a takeaway from Bombay on Sat night (24/03/2007) and found the place to be unclean, and the service to be rude and unpolite. Person on the counter was rude and seems like I should be thankful I was giving him my money rather than the other way around. Guy needs some lessons in manners. Place should be shut down. People please avoid going there for your food.
