Bollyfood — Restaurant in Vienna

Bollyfood used to be my favorite Indian restaurant in Vienna, staff was kind and the food was amazing, until yesterday. Last night, I went there with my daughter to celebrate the end of the school term. Since the terrace was full, we were seated inside .They told us it is a bit warm, the indoor temperature was more like a sauna — extremely hot to the point that it could have caused heat exhaustion. We tried to endure it and managed to finish our meal, but on the way home, my daughter began feeling sick due to the heat. Before leaving, we asked to have our leftovers packed to take home. However, to our shock, what we received was not our food, but someone else's leftovers. My daughter unknowingly took a bite before we realized the mistake. I understand that heat can impair concentration, but this kind of error is unacceptable for a restaurant.

Walked past this place for he past 2 years but it finally caught my full attention and we sat down yesterday. It was a nice dinner, the food is really well made, tasteful and I guess authentic.

It was super nice, but just not special enough for us :) It’s a restaurant I will go to more...

I may not be the ultimate authority on what’s authentic or not, but here’s what I do know: Bollywood, with its charmingly playful name, has the kind of bold, unfiltered flavors and spices that take you by surprise. It reminds me of those immigrant-run eateries where the cooks haven’t yet toned down their spice levels for foreign tastes. (Sure, my Indian friends might have their own opinions, but there’s no way in heck I’d drag any of them here—honestly, I’m scared of the judgment! I like what I like, and I’ll say what I say.) The service was incredibly friendly and professional, though I must admit, the food took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. Still an...
