Not the most amazing Indian food I've tasted, but overall fairly tasty. I prefer South Indian offerings, but... Had a lamb thali and my wife had a veg thali. Only two dishes on the thali plate, where I would normally expect a couple more. The vegetable salad was a definite weak point, as it was just a few scraps of inexplicably blanched peppers and cucumber. Ample servings of the mains though. Price point was a little higher than I would have thought for a lunch special.

I want to start this review by giving a big shoutout to Pemba who was our server, he was so kind and took such good care of us and recommended really good items based on what we wanted. Everything I tried from here was 10/10! Some stand out items - :: Bombay pomfret fry - OH! The masala and coating on this was sooo good we were sucking on the bones till the very end. Such a great appetizer! :: Lasooni palak burrata - I was a little apprehensive about this at first because burrata and palak didn't seem like something I would want to try but I was wrong! This was one of my favourite dishes. It was such a delicious fusion item. For dessert, I would recommend getting their soan papdi malai khwaab and their malai ghewar. Not too sweet, just perfect.

A huge shout-out to the founders of the restaurant. Their vision and attention to detail are evident in every corner of the restaurant, from the impeccable service to the unique decor. It was an impressive experience across the board! Everything was perfectly curated I really don't have the vocabulary to articulate. What truly distinguishes Bombay Kitchen and Bar is the seamless combination of exceptional hospitality and remarkable cuisine. Every dish was a work of art, prepared with meticulous care and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients and the execution of the flavours were truly top-tier. We started off with the Mixed Grill platter...and my mouth just watered watching my video back of it. The paneer was unbelievably soft -- probably the softest I've ever had in my life. It was fresh, melt-in-your-mouth delicious -- you almost don't want to bite it because it just glides down so smoothly. And the Amritsari Fish Pakora. Tell me anyone wouldn't just devour this in seconds. And the Chicken Tikka is always a good move! And Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan? Nothing can beat this combo! I just can't get enough of it. And they served me up a mocktail (Rimjhim) that was straight out of a summer dream! After moving to Canada, one of the founders, Navish noticed that much of the Indian food available had been heavily westernized. But Navish wanted to create a restaurant that stayed true to the bold flavours that define Punjabi cuisine so at Bombay Kitchen and Bar you are tasting authenticity in every bite because every dish is rooted in tradition. The legacy is brought to the table! I'm not kidding when I say they cook from the heart and soul! The menu stays true to its roots. Every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavour and prepared to perfection. One of the best places to experience the true essence of Punjab. What sets them apart is the authentic Punjabi flavour, giving you a true taste of Punjab. You can tell they don't compromise on quality here. So this isn't just an Indian restaurant; it's a heartfelt tribute to tradition, flavour, and the timeless comfort of a truly satisfying meal. You can tell the kitchen team takes great pride in their work because the flavours were spot-on. Beyond the dishes, what really stood out was the hospitality: warm, thoughtful, and full of heart. The service was as impeccable as the food. My server Aman went above and beyond, guiding me through the menu and ensuring I felt right at home. This restaurant nails it on all fronts--great atmosphere, delicious food, and the incredible service from a friendly staff. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into creating such a memorable guest experience. The restaurant itself is stunning; equally perfect for a laid-back lunch or a polished dinner, but it's the food that truly steals the spotlight. The cleanliness, presentation, and overall vibe reflect true 5-star quality. But what makes the experience even better are the owners themselves. They're not just the owners/founders; they're the heart behind the food. You can feel how much pride, care, and love they put into every single dish, and it makes everything taste that much better. There's nothing better than knowing your meal was made by someone who truly loves what they do.
