Bombay Grill - Bay Ridge — Restaurant in New York

I went to Bombay Grill expecting quality vegetarian dishes with flavor and spice, and I came home feeling unhappy and with a very sugary taste in my mouth. I have been living in this neighborhood for 20+ years, and had been going to the same Indian restaurant over and over again. Although my local place was great, I was looking for more of a change and I thought Bombay Grill would be the place that I could go to for a great culinary experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case. We arrived at the restaurant and ordered a Malai Kofta, Saag Paneer and naan. We were first served 3 chutneys and papad. All of the chutneys were sweet, not appealing for my taste. We waited for our food for about 15 minutes, not long at all. We were then served with warm, but not hot, dishes and very, very small portion sizes of food. However, the appearance of the food was good. We started eating the Malai Kofta first. This was probably the least appetizing dish we had at the restaurant because the gravy, like the chutneys, was sweet, even though we ordered for all dishes to be medium spicy. The main problem with the dish was that the koftas were really dry, and tasted like unseasoned and grainy falafel like balls. They had no vegetables in them, as described in the menu, and were not tasty. The Saag Paneer, though sweet like everything else, was good and appetizing. The naans were great, however, in the menu they were said to cost $1.95, but they actually charged us $2.95 per naan. My main two concerns with Bombay Grill were the portion sizes and the sweetness of the food. The North Indian dishes that we ordered were too sweet considering that I ordered for spicy food, and did not taste like traditional Indian dishes. The portion sizes were too small and you would have to order 2 veggie dishes in order to feed one person, and each dish was for the price of a large dish compared to other Indian restaurants in the neighborhood. In spite of all this, the environment was great and clean. Overall, I was not happy with the...

Horrible Food. I ordered a few dishes including chicken Karachi, chicken Kashmiri, chicken tandoori and Keenan naan (minced meat naan). Almost everything was under cooked. Chicken Kashmiri tasted not fresh at all and chicken tandoori was burnt and the Keema naan was without Keema (minced meat). Naan was so under cooked that I felt, I am eating raw flour. On top of the worst food and low grade service, the management of this place is an absolute nightmare. I asked the manager for a duplicate receipt for expense purposes and he said that his manager will take money out of his pocket for printing another receipt. I asked him to let me speak with the manager and then he said that he is the manager and the owner. Lying people with the worst service, bad attitude and worst food. I have tried Indian food from many many restaurants but this was the worst experience, period. I got really sick after eating there and had to take a day off from work the next day. NOT...

People who understand true Indian food taste will find this place absolutely trash and not at all worth for the money they charge. I had ordered for a chicken curry dish and the chicken pieces were uncooked. I called them up to give this feedback but they were just not accepting, and insisting that the chicken is cooked. A simple question regarding what exactly went wrong would've gone a much farther way rather than being in complete denial. Garlic Naan was literally a plain Naan with some garlic chutney sprinkled on top. So to add to the bad food quality, there was also bad ethics involved in not even willing to listen to a feedback regarding their product. The manager was hell-bent on believing I was trying to get a refund / replacement out of him. Please avoid it if you know what true Indian food taste is and don’t want to waste your money on a scam place pretending to be authentic. Way better Indian places in Bay Ridge...
