Bombay 8 Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in England

We have to add to our previous review as your only allowed 1 review:

30th October 2024. ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took both Hubby Neil and I to ‘Bombay 8’ from which we both have said it’s the BEST Indian dinner we have EVER had and believe you and me, we tried a lot of different restaurants, we been to Bombay 8 many times before and it just seems to get better and better!!! Our Dinner this evening was totally OUTSTANDING!! The staff were all so very pleasant indeed, I’m gutted I didn’t get the names of our servers, a young gentleman with a beard, short hair was very well groomed and pretty lady with long dark hair and beautiful nails!!, they were totally professional, attentive and very well mannered, they gave us outstanding service and are a complete credit to this establishment….. thank you.

Starters: We both had ‘Bombay special mixed platter’: Chicken tikka, lamb chop, sheek kebab and garlic chicken, garnished with crispy salad, 2 side dishes of sauce, one of which was a chilli jam, we mentioned it to our gentleman server and he brought over 2 takeaway tubs full of the chilli jam for us, we were so grateful, it was very kind of him and he said he made it himself! Absolutely Delicious!

Entrée’s: Neil had Lamb chop Frango, tender grilled lamb chops cooked in a spicy thick sauce, with yellow lentils, chillies, garlic, ginger and coriander, all together created a rich spiced sauce…… I had Tandoori mixed Korai, which was tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, sheek kebab with chunks of tomatoes, red and green peppers, with a rich thick sauce (I asked this to be Madras hot, it was PERFECT.) garnished with spring onion and coriander….. We both had Bombay special rice each. To share: a bowl of chips and Peshwari naan bread…

Total compliments to the chefs…..you are all very talented in your work…. Thank you.

All the dishes were perfect and it was all completely faultless. The restaurant has been recently decorated and all the servers uniforms were pristine. Well done Bombay 8, the manager came over and said hello too….. your restaurant is a credit to you and your staff. Thank you.

Big question? Will we be back?? What do you think!!!!

17th July 2024 ‘Wandering Wednesday’ today has been a very busy day and we were going to get a Indian takeout from Bombay 8…… in the end we decided to sit in and eat in the restaurant, rather than faff with dishing it out at home! Service was excellent as always, waiters were very attentive as always and extremely polite. Starters: We both had the same…. Bombay special mixed platter, with chicken tikka, lamb chop, sheep kebab, garlic chicken with salad to garnish…. Entrée’s Neil had chicken and malai kofta. I had Bengal Chum Chum. Both had Bombay house rice and shared a Peshwari naan and shared a portion of chips.

This restaurant never fails to please, excellent food and perfectly presented, it’s been freshly decorated recently and it’s spotlessly clean….. We are….Full full full!….. We have and will be...

My friend and I have been to this place multiple times over the years, the food was always great, service was great, however the last two visits were a little disappointing. The place was busy but had seats available. Both time had a table booked for 2 at 7pm. Meal was nice and service was fine up until we finished our main course. We couldn't have been more than 50 minutes at the restaurant at this point. We were asked if we wanted another drink, said no. We weren't asked if we wanted dessert. On both occasions we couldn't have been there for more than an hour and as soon as we finished the main course the table was cleared before my fork hit the table after the last bite and we were presented with the bill. There were tables available and no customers waiting to be seated. We just didn't feel welcome anymore, felt a little uncomfortable. Which is a shame, because we enjoyed the food here over the years but I don't think we will be back after our experience on...

We booked as a table of 8 after reading good reviews. It was a monday night,not busy at all,and once sitted we ve already been ignored for a while to order the drink. The order has been smooth and the food arrived quite quickly at the table. I have to say the food was nothing special,defitenely not worth the price,but still OK. What make us really disappointed was the service,very superficial,slow and wherever we ve been asking for we had to ask at least twice to get it. At the end of the meal(roughly 10pm)they bring us the bill without even asking,and 15 minutes later the waiter rudely told us that we had to leave as the restaurant was closed. Then the waiter stood at the restaurant s door keeping it open till we organize our self and went out. I ve really felt uncomfortable kicked out from the restaurant once we ve paid. Never been treated like this in my...
