Bombay Garden Indian Cuisine

So now this place is Gateway India, what's different? Same cooks, same food, same decor, even same plates. Other than service wasn't as friendly, the only other main difference is the cost of lunch buffet is down a dollar, now $10.95. So why two star decline, since last reviewing this place my bar for Indian cuisine has been raised. Still a decent choice for a quick Indian bite.

Lunch buffet for $11.95 per person (pre-tax), 7 days a week. Not a bad deal considering the location. Food is decent, though beware of dirty plates and utensils. Their lamb curry is great and so is their freshly-made naan. They did refill our waters constantly, so that was nice. I didn't appreciate being rushed out right after I paid, in order to accommodate a larger party. Street parking in the area, though may be difficult. You're better off parking in the Central Parking Garage. Sanitation makes this place just okay.

It 's easy to impress me. I don 't need a fancy party with caviar or champagne...nor do I need scintillating company...give me the most rustic, homey food and my family for company with some good laughs thrown in...and I am over the top impressed We went in here with low expectations and a groupon $40 worth of food for $29 . I looked at the menu online and it looked good standard north indian . One thing worth noting is prices in the online menu are different from the prices in the printed menu in the restaurant eg. we ordered the Maharaja Non vegetarian Royal Feast for two which is listed on the online menu for $40.95 but was actually $44.95 in the printed menu . That said the food offered and their service was well worth the money spent. We left tummy full and very happy with the courteous service shout out to Harry the host who patiently answered our questions about the meal and was over all wonderful! We also saw a lot of people walk in and out and try their appetizers as a part of a Restaurant Walk...they were leaving blown away with the experience and happy : Now coming to the meal we ordered the feast because we wanted to taste a variety of different things They started us off with the roasted papadum which was brilliant with the sweet tamarind chutney and the spicy koriander chutney. Our appetizers were a malai chicken tikka which was very well spiced, flavored and tender/moist and a sheekh kabab lamb which was flawlessly executed. Our main meal was a Lamb Kheema Matar again executed perfectly, really well cooked and a chicken tikka masala which my son absolutely loved . With these entrees they got us whole wheat tandoori rotis we didnt ' want the garlic naan as it 's cooked with white flour/maida and they graciously substituted...bottomline if you ignore the health flag I have heard that the garlic naan is OUT OF THIS WORLD and mildly flavored basmati rice. They got us an order of Dal Makhani Which was excellent and I lived in Delhi, so I have had some really good Dal Makhani ,a peas and potato curry excellent! and raita it was good! . Harry also got us raw red onions and lemon to complement our meal we asked for it and he remembered to get it for us with our meal . He got us extra tandoori rotis as my family is not a rice eating family at no charge . Our dessert was soft, yummy Gulab Jamoons with Kheer....that my son annhilated. We will definitely be repeating this experience it was brilliant !!!

Really bad food is what these guys are proudly selling. Where is a food inspector when you need one. They charge good money but sell stake food. Chicken tandoori was dry like tree bark Everything else was crappy as well. I seriously can't say that there was one item that was worth going back for more. On top of that there was a egg dish called egg bhaji which was little left. The cook comes out with a plastic container the one that's sold in dollar store and you buy to wash your bathroom or wash your feet in. Seriously are they hygienic enough for hot food?? So he dumps a fish dish into the egg bhaji container out of that plastic container. I got up and left. If you are a food inspector reading this please audit this restaurant

This was the worst Indian food I've ever had. The tandoori chicken was so dry it was barely edible...to the point I was almost questioning if I was eating chicken. Like it was seriously unrecognizable as chicken if you would have blindfolded me. I normally have to stop myself when eating but that is NOT a problem today. My husband says his was watery and terrible. Food came In styrofoam containers wrapped in plastic wrap so also very environmentally unfriendly.
