Bombay Kitchen — Restaurant in Toledo

Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos.

I consider Bombay Kitchen a “modernized american taste quick joint.” I’ve seen a lot of comments saying it’s not “real Indian food,” and what does that even mean? They use curry, ginger, tumeric, garlic, dill, clove and many other spices that Indian dishes primarily consist of. If you want, “real Indian food,” open your heart and mind up, and go travel to these Hindi countries and see for yourself. Point of that comment is to highlight the double standard prejudice the staff are receiving. They have came to the states to make a living, “as we are ‘welcoming and unbiased,” (subjective) and yet we fail to recognize their attempts to compensate with our palates.

Krisha was my server and I learned a lot about her, and her goals here in the US. What a wonderful young woman with a lovely head on her shoulders. She is kind and compassionate. As well as the owner and the other staff. I believe these negative reviews are “trolls” trying to smear their name for personal gain. It’s “Indian food.” What else do you consider to be Indian food???

The Vindaloo, Butter Chicken and Lamb Curry are always rich with flavor. The plain and garlic naan are a copy of what naan actually is. Their desserts are unique and have different tastes. This is expected when going to a foreign owned restaurant. If you want something familiar, go elsewhere or just learn how to make it the way you want it yourself.

The staff are friendly, welcoming and kind.

Your tea is just powdered hot water??? Why didn’t you ask them to bring you something else? Or consider that again, not everyone can handle the same strength or flavor as the next. They seem to be mindful people. Whenever I’m in the area and I want something quick, rich and ethnic, I always swing by Bombay Kitchen.

Prices are just as equivalent to our “high end” burger joints. Five guys is around $50-60 per couple just for a burger, fries and a pop. We had two large entrees (with a whole plate of rice, drinks, naan, desserts and ordered a Paneer. After all this and leaving a tip, we paid $63. Coming home with full and happy bellies and a pleasant mindset. How easy it is to just walk away from something you don’t like. And how hard it must be within yourself to project your insecurities onto others. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere. Atmosphere is hip, and filled with some Hindi touches. Love the “Bollywood” music videos always playing. Bathrooms are always clean. The outdoor seating is nice. The food is good and plenty some. I always enjoy my food. Thank you Bombay Kitchen for always being so nice and respectful....

last night my experience with this place was terrible.. We went there by seeing nice reviews by others and expected good food and service. The lady served us was very nice and gave us a warm welcome. She also helped joining couple of tables so that we all can sit together. It was so nice of her.. She did her best to serve us. When it comes to the food, it was horrible. Each and every food was horrible.. Plain rice was half cooked, Biryani rice was half cooked, they server butter chicken which is no where close to butter chicken. This was Sunday night, 30 mins before the close, so they made all those items from the left over . From all the previous good ratings, i realized this might be one off case and we were not lucky to get good foods. That's Okay. But the story does not end here.. I am not writing this feedback for the bad food, rather for the attitude i got from the owner when i talked to him and tried to provide my honest feedback. He made me feel, that my taste palate is the main reason that we could not appreciate the food. really? This is how you take the constructive feedback? The feedback mechanism is there for reason. One of its purpose is to learn from customer and correct yourself , NOT to criticize back to your customer. you can't handle a customer feedback if it says your food is not up to mark.. All you could say "we will refund your money" to a bunch of hungry people who visited your place with lot of expectation instead of trying to understand what was the problem in the food. Okay, I will let you and other customer decide how the attached picture is "Butter Chicken"? from which angle? Don't you see its just some chicken put on top of sauce? or is it also a problem with my...

The family (3 adults) had a fantastic meal at the Bombay Kitchen Restaurant.

First, a word about the service. The staff went above and beyond. There are 8-10 different sauces to have with your protein. Some were familiar, others unknown. The staff brought us small sample bowls to help us decide. Very helpful and so thoughtful. We are looking forward to a return visit.

On to the food, which was scrumptious. Started with 6 mini vegetable puffs – these were clouds of delight, crispy on the outside with an interior blending of vegetables, very tasty. These were accompanied by two types of chutney, and while some did dip the puffs, others just ate them unadorned and all were happy.

One of us had a Paneer Dosa Rice Pancake. This entree was magnificent to behold and fantastic to eat. The Paneer (spiced and cooked cheese) was in a rolled-up rice pancake and we estimated the roll to be 16 inches long, and we took home an 8 inch section for lunch the following day. The accompanying coconut chutney was delicious. Saag Chole, was a vegetarian curry of chickpeas and spices. The Saag Chole had a tomato sauce base that complimented the delightful blend of spices that provided maximum flavor. The Makhani Chicken was served in “Chicken 64 Sauce” a creamy tomato sauce that supported the savory spices. For all dishes, the “default” heat was mild. A quick word with the server, and one of the curries went up to a Medium-level of spice. Everyone was happy. Both curries were served with rice. The rice was cooked to perfection, each and every grain separate with bits of fresh herbs. We added an order of plain and garlic Naans, both were tasty, clouds...
