    Our June 3 anniversary dinner was excellent. My late request for flowers was answered (a surprise for the wife, of course). Thank you so much to ALL the staff for your attentiveness. We will be back.

    I was very happy going here. Definitely a neighborhood gem. Great for a small group. Food was great. It was a bit pricey though.

    My friend and I visited Bombay Bistro for dinner on a Friday evening. The atmosphere was lovely and the vibe was as NYC as you can get. The food was delicious and portions were very generous. We shared the chicken samosas - divine, crispy. For mains we shared the lamb chops - huge portion, some of the best I’ve ever had, incredible plate with curried potatoes, the best curry sauce accompaniment you can imagine and grilled veggies, we also shared the chicken biryani and the Rogan Josh lamb curry. Both dishes were ample and packed with taste. The chicken biryani was moist and filled with succulent chicken topped with a beautiful soft crust and the Rogan Josh lamb was super succulent, and an amazing hot curry. We really loved the atmosphere, the decor and the vibe. It does get a bit loud, but not too much to have a good conversation. We arrived at 7pm and left at 10:35pm. They never rushed us to leave even though it was a Friday night. We had 6 cocktails between the two of us and they were al AMAZING!! Sooo original and very generous. All in all I would say this is an absolute must visit. An iconic NYC restaurant in the Village. I would go there again and again. Bring your appetite the portions big!

    We had a delicious meal here, and for the most part the wait staff was excellent. However, the noise level is so excruciating that it was impossible for us to actually enjoy the meal. Music was blaring at an insane level from speakers at the back of the restaurant, causing people sitting a the bar to yell at each other to be heard. When we asked a member of the waitstaff to turn down the music so we could attempt to talk, she did absolutely nothing. I still have a headache and will never go back.
