Booked a table directly on the Bombaywalla restaurant website.
Deliberately booked a table at half 6 to take advantage of the 2 course special menu, as advertised on their website.
Arrived and asked for this special menu and was told it wasn’t possible as we hadn’t prepaid. We were told that we needed a coupon to get this special menu. This absolutely was not mentioned on the website.
Decided just to order off the normal menu.
Other diners joined us and they all asked for the set menu option and were refused. One group pursued the matter and were given the printed special menus.
Spoke to the waitress at the end and she told me I hadn’t booked through the restaurant website. I had and showed her the email confirmation. A gentleman then joined in and told me it wasn’t the website, despite being the website that they link to on Google. It absolutely was their website.
A complete nonsense and a total con.
They eventually did honour the set menu price but it really wasn’t worth the hassle. Ruined the meal and I wouldn’t return.
Food decent and price ok but don’t advertise special menus on your own website and then tell people they...

I was told after ordering that they “didn’t have any rice” or any chicken curry for that matter, and was invited to order something off the main menu instead. I expected this to be charged at the lunch rate, but it was full whack.
My dinner appeared by by colleagues did not. After ten minutes, I enquired as to the whereabouts of my colleagues lunch (we were in a rush to get back to work) and was informed that there was only one chef and he could only cook one meal at a time. We ultimately had to take this late serving as takeaway.
God knows what this place would be like with a full service: just two patrons seemed to overload the system
So I needed up paying a lot more, and getting far less, than I expected. Next time I’ll play it safe and stick...
Read moreThe place is nicely hidden away on the main road, and it's visible from the crossing.
The key factor is the variety of foods and sides and traditional dishes this place offers. It's really a wide range. Taste is very close to authentic and has an option for indo-chinese which was new and not present anywhere else in Glasgow !
The place is new so, decently decorated for a cafe and also offers you to bring your own beer.
Had the chance to try their biryani, and really that surprised me how good it was. The chips with masala has a coconut and south Indian spice blend which is amazing ! The Chinese bhel and samosa chat is pretty decent but slightly priced.
Overall, Food : 4/5 Variety: 4.5/5 Ambience : 3/5 Presentation:3.5/5
A must try if you want Mumbai -blend of spicy Indian food . Definitely a must...
