Bombay Palace — Restaurant in London

To be honest to this restaurant, this was one of the better tasting Indian food I have had in Central London area.

In my opinion, many Indian restaurants water down the authenticity so it can cater to a wider local audience. Nonetheless the food served at Bombay Palace straddled a fine line between being a British Indian cuisine and authentic Indian cuisine. And it succeeds in that regard. This success can be ascertained by the crowd that dine at the restaurant, consisting of both British and Indian customers. Depending on what kind of Indian food you like, there is a going to British Indian food like Madras curry and Tikka Masala, or OG Indian food like chaat and momos. You won't be stuck without options.

We ordered the ragda pattice chaat, tandoori mixed grill platter, missi roti, paneer kulcha and chicken Tikka masala. The Tikka Masala and Mixed Grill were the best ones we have had in UK. No doubts about that. The portions were good too as the two of us were full and couldn't finish off the platter and Tikka masala.

Now the reasons why we can't give them a 5/5 score are because: Chaat item was just average. Missi roti was also really dry and hard to tear easily. The food felt a bit overpriced for the overall experience. The vibe and decor of the hotel felt like it was stuck in the 1990s and would really need to upgrade to reflect how other premium Indian restaurants are in London.

In the end I came out of the restaurant with a full belly and happy experience. I will recommend this place especially if you are looking to have a group dinner just because of the sheer variety of Indian food you...

This was our first visit at Bombay Palace. We entered with zero expectations considering it as one of the many Indian restaurants that we have visited during our stay of one year in the UK. After dining here, we felt that our search was over, and we have found a place that we can visit again and again. From the moment we stepped inside, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a memorable culinary adventure.

The menu showcased a diverse selection of regional Indian dishes. The flavors were vibrant, robust, and perfectly balanced, providing a truly immersive taste of India. Whether it was the kebabs, the rich curries, or the tantalizing street food, every dish surpassed my expectations. One standout dish that left a lasting impression was the butter chicken. Pairing it with freshly baked naan bread elevated the experience to new heights as most places we dined at in the past were serving precooked re-heated breads. The menu also featured an array of vegetarian options that were equally enticing, catering to all palates.

While the overall experience was exceptional, the only area where the restaurant fell slightly short was the waiting time for food (The food was worth the wait). However, the staff's attentiveness and the ambiance of the restaurant compensated for this minor inconvenience. Special mention to the manager, I couldn't get his name as he was always busy attending to all the tables. He was simply amusing and his punny anecdotes kept us entertained.

In conclusion, Bombay Palace is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable Indian...
