The Bombay Frankie Company — Restaurant in Culver City

The reason I deducted one star was due to the Mango Lassi. While it was delicious, I noticed the bottle had a dated sticker on the bottom that read 12/14/24, and today is 12/18/24. I’m assuming that’s the date they made it and not the expiration date, but I know from what I’ve read (correct me if I’m wrong) that lassi should ideally be consumed within 2 days of being made, even if sealed. It didn’t taste old, so I’m hopeful it’s still fine, but I’m just cautious about the date.

Today was my first time trying Bombay Frankie Company, and overall, I had a great experience! The Chicken Tikka Masala Burrito with garlic naan was absolutely delicious! It was packed with flavor and easily the best "Indian" dish I’ve had in a while. I've never had a burrito at an Indian spot. I could definitely eat that burrito every week!

The staff, particularly a young lady (who I think is from Australia), was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient, even with another customer there who had a lot of questions. Despite the lady being a little busy around noon, she remained attentive and cheerful. The place was also very clean, which is always a plus.

As for the location, it’s conveniently situated right outside the mall, next to the Nordstrom Rack entrance.

If I end up getting sick (from the lassi), I will update my review and adjust the rating accordingly. But if someone knows more about how long lassi can be stored in the fridge and whether the date is okay, I’d be happy to bump my rating up to 5 stars.

Either way, I’ll definitely be back for that...

I recently had the pleasure of dining here at The Bombay Frankie Company with few friends. This place offers a variety of delicious food items such as pizza, burritos, and bowls. The overall experience was fantastic, with the food being the highlight. The pizza was perfectly cooked, with a thin and crispy crust, and topped with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The burrito was packed with a generous amount of fillings, including tender meat, cheese, and vegetables, creating a delightful combination of flavors. The bowls were equally satisfying, with a choice of protein, grains, and vegetables that created a delicious and nutritious meal.

However, there was one aspect of the dining experience that left a bit of a sour taste. The restaurant recently started charging $1.25 for each small packet of green sauce. While the food itself was reasonably priced and of high quality, this additional charge for condiments felt unnecessary and somewhat disappointing.

On a positive note, I was impressed by the manager's attentiveness and the overall pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant. The manager lady was welcoming and seemed genuinely interested in interacting with customers and receiving feedback on the food. This level of customer engagement added a personal touch to the dining experience and made me feel valued as a customer.

Despite the minor setback with the extra charge for green sauce, I would highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, friendly staff, and...

When you visit Bombay, you are likely to counter an interesting wrap that's locally called Frankie. You have food trucks as well as restaurants that specialize in an egg wash on a naan-like tortilla, with a filling of marinated chicken, paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or spiced potatoes, along with mint cilantro chutney, raw diced onions and some tangy spices.

Bombay Frankie Company brings this street food experience to LA and does a decent job at it.

I tried the paneer Frankie, with its 12 hour marinated paneer, and it was delicious, filling and great value.

The owner recommended trying the paneer pizza, which turned out to be even better. A super thin crust with a deliciously addictive topping, where the star is their marinated paneer.

What you may miss but is worth a try is their a la carte Indian curries.

If you are in the Culver City area or visiting the Westfield Mall, BFC is accessible from the outside, facing the parking lot. Service is friendly and quick. There's seating for 8-10 couples and small families, with counter service.

Tip: If you are picking up, there are 20 minute spots that are across the restaurant...
