Bombay Restaurant (HAMID BROS) — Restaurant in Pahang

Overall ambiance is pretty nice especially with air-conditioning. The food taste was average, meaning I've taste something better elsewhere (House Of India once upon a time was the best Indian food outlet, in my opinion, in Kuantan).

The price per meal was also average. I only had the banana leaf rice with assortment of gravy & papadom. The dessert (sagoo) was OK, the lamb was OK & the fried chicken was OK too.

The staff was fast to respond & oh! The Mango Lassi was a bit off the taste. I believe some sort of "powder plus water" was used because I've tasted true mango lassi before. It was nothing like the one I had that day.

So, Mango Lassi & parking space were 2 main challenges for me.

Overall, this place deserve a 3 stars!

Hip...

Disappointing experience at Bombay Restaurant (HAMID BROS) on Jalan Mahkota, Pahang. As a biryani enthusiast, I was recommended the lamb biryani, but it fell short of expectations. Despite the anticipation of a flavorful experience, it turned out to be an ordinary mutton biryani served with an oily curry that didn’t enhance the dish.

Additionally, the cashier’s attitude was unwelcoming and somewhat dismissive, which detracted from the overall dining experience. It felt as though my presence wasn’t valued.

Hopefully, the restaurant management takes this feedback seriously to improve the quality of their dishes and customer service. As someone who appreciates good biryani, I was left wanting more...

The Lamb Briyani is alright, rice lacks aroma and flavour, and it’s a tad dry. The lamb itself was good and tasty, however it was a little over cooked as well. The Appalam was a little bit too oily, probably because it was from the bottom. The Sambar was not too bad and tasty. This restaurant has very good hospitality, you can see that the head (big boss) is dedicated in running the restaurant. Perhaps if they improve their rice, and a little bit more lamb, cooked to perfection will be great.

I would return to this restaurant to give it another go, because of the big boss’ personality and dedication in wanting to make this restaurant successful.

Talk to him about the food, he’s all...
