We ended up at this restaurant based on the reviews and the closeness to our hotel. Our experience was a lot different, first of all the staff at this restaurant was a bit rude. They have some tables setup in front of the serving/ dirty plate lift and trays. We requested to be moved to a different table with a few empty tables but the staff denied our request. Next the food quantity also seemed low, but I am not completely sure if there is a difference in food quantity being served in Istanbul. The order that came out seemed to be cooked from stale ingredients (chole were sour) and was really oily with no real taste. On complaining they offered to replace the dish, but the replacement that came out was tasteless as well. I would not recommend this place to anyone. In fact the worst Indian food experience for me in Turkey so far. (This was my 5th Indian meal so far)

Lentil soup was very very tasty but the rest of the order didn't meet expectation, the Parathas were deep fried ,oily and lacked taste.Kadai paneer gravy had a burnt smell emanating from it. Overall food or service didn't meet the bar given the price is on the expensive end of the spectrum, we spent 1300 tl on the food.

We were very hungry as it was night time and already other shops were closing so we only found this restaurant with acceptable reviews only to find out those reviews were literal fake. We entered and there was a lot of people. We thought that means food is good but when we took our seat they took our order but never noted it down which means our order also got mixed up. When we got our order we did not even enjoy it it tasted very bad and they charged us a lot. There was also too much heat over there as well. I do not recommend coming here at all

This restaurant has really good Indian food in Istanbul, it’s so flavorful and pleasing. The place is very warm and quiet, the staff is super friendly and good. We were 4 and we ordered 5 dishes, which were all flavorful and we wiped up our dishes 😁. The service is really good but our food took time to come, however, I really recommend it especially for vegans in Istanbul. Loved it and good luck fir them.

Best Indian restaurant in Istanbul. Wonderful vibe, just the right amount of spice and friendly service. So if your heritage lies with the Indian subcontinent and you’re palate is missing home, give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Reading the reviews thought this place would be good. Service was very slow, food came after 40 min wait and it wasn’t even busy. Staff were just miserable ! Place had a weird smell and so many flies put me off my food. We ordered a few starters, the lamb chops were really chewy and felt like it was microwaved and the malai tikka had so much salt couldn’t eat it. The biryani’s were ok but not that tasty. Everything was very dry and wasn’t fresh at all.

Great location busy area easy to get to,4 stories currently with 3 levels of dining space and a roof terrace coming soon. Very friendly staff and lively atmosphere, authentic Indian/Pakistani cusine, fresh and tasty with very quick service. Mixed Grill , Karahi Gosht, Butter Chicken, Chicken Karahi and Lamb biryani was excellent very tasty! I had sweet lassi to drink was superb! Made from fresh yoghurt just like back in Pakistan! A must visit restaurant in Istanbul if you’re wanting some Pakistani/Indian food which is just like home! Highly recommend to all

After spending 20+ days in turkiye, we were craving for some desi food so we googled and found this place. The restaurant claims to serve both Pakistani and Indian food which is not true at all it may have Indian taste but not Pakistani at all. So not recommended if you are searching for Pakistani food. I don't know the reason but the lady attending the guests were forcing people to wait at the entrance for like 10 to 15 minutes saying no table is free although on 2nd and 3rd floor they were almost empty, at few rables on 2nd floor guest were eating separately ( not family, no hall booking etc). We had to repeat our order 3 times which was served wrong again and again then they served gravy only let us wait for chapatis for good 15 minutes. Later as compensation they served 1 gravy extra which was of no use to us ofcrs. Prices were quite high as compared to the other restaurants.

My parents decided to celebrate my birthday at this restaurant. The food was excellent and ambience was nice. We were the only persons at the restaurant at 1:45 p.m. The wait for food was not too long. Very disappointed because the server told us we didn't pay correct amount of 1232 lira when both my parents counted the money before paying him. So guys please BE CAREFUL and CHECK the money IN THE PRESENCE of the waiter. First time this is happening to me and this is my 5th time in Turkiye.

Simple but extraordinarily flavourful! Good prices Good service Good tips When you knew I am vegan they told to change some dishes because they contained a kind of animal product, and that was extremely amazing! I am in love with the place and the music in the background makes you want to dance and eat! Recommend… Ps. The mint sauce was removed once they remembered I am vegan and apologised for it as well!!! I’m fond of the whole-package experience I have just had!

Chicken masala does not even have an average taste and it contains only three small pieces of chicken. The Butter nan bread was great but they charge it you separately. According to the food they serve, it’s a bit overpriced place. Would not recommend.

This was some of the best Indian food I've had outside of India! I'm not sure what some of the reviews are talking about, the food was delicious! We had four different dishes, all of them really good and perfectly spicy. It might seem a bit pricey, but the portions are quite big, we even had some leftovers. The naan was good, although a bit thinner than regular Indian naan. Mango lassi was incredible! The service was great, the waiters came to check on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. If we're ever back in Istanbul, we're definitely eating here again!

We came to Türkiye for our honeymoon. Our resort food was so bland and tasteless we were craving food with FLAVOR. We found this wonderful restaurant to satisfy our cravings SO DELICIOUS!! They even had my favorite appetizer papad (spicy too). Thank you for a wonderful experience, there is yummy food here!

Best Indian food Value of money Yummy taste Affordable Economical Nice environment Nice hospitality Good location

Çok güzel bir yerr. Her şey çook lezzetliydii 💕💕💕 İt's awesome place and the food is very delicious and the behavior of waiters are very nice and the owner of restaurant is so kind. Thank you. Highly recommend to eat here.

Quick service, delicious taste of food, and reasonable prices. There are two stories, so even on a busy night many can be accommodated. If you like lassis, the mango lassi is to die for. Easily one of the best we have had anywhere in the world, so smooth and delicious. Only downside for us was the naan, a little thinner and more dry than our liking. If you’re craving Indian food, this is definitely a worthwhile spot.

We visited here for dinner looking for Indian food in Istanbul. The food is okay. Not good and not bad. The quantity served is very less in proportionate to charge. It is a bit on the pricier side (think overall Indian cuisines tend to be expensive). The service was not too great too. We did see some angry customers complaining about their food or wrong orders. Would not recommend this restaurant if you are going out with friends or special occasions. But okay if it’s for a single person by himself. Quality of food is okay.

Very nice staff, delicious food. If you want to try Indian food, this is an excellent place. However the portions are so incredibly small and they are very expensive.

Really recommend this place highly, if you're first visited to Istanbul. And you need to have indian/pakistani food. It's cooked perfectly

👎🤮 They asked us to move to a smaller table though they didn’t have any reservations and other tables were empty. They give you such a tiny portions and rip you off for that. Literally a portion for a cat! this is ridiculous(!!!) You leave hungry, the food is not great anyways. Choose another Indian restaurant, there’s much better out there and not that greedy with much better customer service

Got 3 Gajjar ka halwa from them! 30Tl/ serving! Serving was quite small for 30 lira! And the taste was bad too! Did not even smell of gajjar but of bread! So the smell, taste, and even the sight of it is not close to Gajjar ka halwa and they charge 30Tl for this small portion! Neither quality, nor quantity! Advise against eating deserts at this place. I do not know about main dishes but I would not be willing to try it anymore!

Price vs quality doesnt match. Prices too high Garlic chicken was not well cooked and taste really akward Biryani is amazing must try

Really tasty food, after eating Turkish food for so many days definitely needed this. Perfect location near the blue mosque. Best Mango Lassi, friendly people and excellent service. We ordered Pani Puri which was nice, also very tasty chicken and lamb curru. Plus they let is pray upstairs

Just been to this cute little restaurant in the heart of Fatih. The place is lovely and very welcoming. A good selection of Asian food and a few non Asian items for the kids (nuggets and chips). We had the famous biryani which was very tasty and a fab portion size (ideal for two people). Highly recommend the chicken soup and pani puri ended the evening with fab kheer and chai!! Overall, a wonderful experience, delicious food and lovely service by the waitress Ferwa. We will surely return!

Very nice food, as a family we were very surprised how well seasoned everything was. We will go back a second time. Next time we will try meat dishes and see if I can push it to a five star review.

I saw this restaurant whilst staying in the area and was eager to try it out. Asked genuinely if they had everything on the menu and the server (turkish chap) haughtily confirms. I then order Pav Bhaji. Being a Bombay boy, Pav Bhaji is dear to my heart. What comes along is a turdy-looking puree, served with burger buns dabbed with oil. Doesn't taste good either with raw masala smell coming from the "bhaji." The sweet lassi was okayish, nothing to talk about. Lastly, customer service needs to be improved. The apathy of the local staff towards customers is not good.

It's a place very near to my neighborhood and I always notice that is busy . Now I know why ... even if I don't prefer my food so spicy I liked the taste of the chicken soup and the rice with chicken also.Yes I would visit again 😊 everything was tasty and the stuff very helpful!

Visited this restaurent today and ordered a chicken biryani and hot chicken soup. Biryani was good and my son enjoyed it. The hot chicken soup was so hot that we couldn’t even drink it. I tried removing a lot of the chilly seeds (check image) to try and drink it but couldn’t. Then I called the waiter and told him. He took it to the chef and returned saying this is how the soup is supposed to be and nothing can be done. This was really disappointing. I’m a South Indian and I love spicy food. This soup was inedible (check photo). And even if it was supposed to be that way, basic service courtesy is that you at least acknowledge what customer is saying. And I clearly showed my soup saying I tried having it but couldn’t. I had found this Indian restaurant after a lot of search and this experience made me leave the place disappointed.

Loved the food! We were craving traditional Pakistani food and it was exactly that. Nimrah provided excellent customer service and she told us the owners are from Lahore so you are going to get authentic Pakistani style dishes. Highly recommend this place ☕️

Probably the best indian/Pakistani food in Istanbul. Great taste excellent choice and friendly service. Keep up the great work Saddem one of the guys who looked aftered us hard working and good host.

In these Covid times, it's not easy to know what's open or not but Bombay Masala is indeed open for business and gave us just what we needed after a day of sightseeing and shopping through hot and muggy Istanbul. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was quite tasty, exactly what we needed. Highly recommend to Istanbulites and visitors alike.

The food here was absolutely delicious and the portions are generous. And the service is SO much better than any service I've received back in London, where I live. I ordered their tandoori roti and chicken with daal, and rounded off with their Indian masala tea. I can say that my tummy is satisfied and I'm full! I plan to visit here again before leaving Istanbul.

Visited here on the last day of my stay. The owners were very hospitable, and food was amazing. Definitely a hidden gem worth visiting.

1/5 bad customer service and 2/5 for not having authentic bombay special biryani taste. My friend recommended me to try this restaurant as he was fed up having Turkish kebabs everyday. Ordered 50 lira bombay special chicken biryani and got boneless hard chicken rice with cashews fried onion. Biryani authentic taste was missing, although the taste of rice and presentation was satisfactory. I ordered spicy but nowhere it tasted like spicy. I'm giving 1 star just because it is not having authentic biryani taste, otherwise if i rated that rice without considering it biryani, then its 4/5. customer service 1 star due to lack of interest in getting feedback from customer. They didn't ask me how did i like their food, and when a person came to take out empty plates, he just said "utha lon" ,like seriously? are you kidding me? this restaurant is opened in main sultanahmet area and customer should be treated equally. please educate your staff as well.

A lovely, spacious and very clean Pakistani restaurant not far from the Grand Bazaar. Food 5 🌟 - Amazing vegetarian biryani! It was full of flavor, one of the best I’ve had during my travels. The naan bread was excellent, chicken curry and chicken palak were tasty. All dishes were outstanding. Would go back again. Drinks 5 🌟 - Mango lassi was perfect Service 5 🌟 - Excellent service

They are Pakistani infact. They belong to Lahore...... Best food in city .

Best Indian/Pakistani food in Istanbul. I’ve visited Istanbul a number of times over the last two years and struggled to find authentic Indian/Pakistani food. Relieved to find Bombay Masaala. Generous portions, reasonably priced, great atmosphere and good all round service. If you are visiting Istanbul and enjoy Indian/Pakistani food, this place is a must to try out. Highly recommend.

Hidden in the streets near the Grand Bazaar, Bombay Masala was definitely a treat to stumble upon after a long day of shopping. If you're looking for something spicer than a doner, this is your place. Hospitable staff and nice hot food. We came during covid so can't really review service. But we got our food fairly fast. Enjoyable take away experience with good food.

(Translated by Google) Great food (Original) Excelente comida

Bombay Masala was one of the best restaurants in the Istanbul. What a delicious food, we got there. Everyone enjoyed a lot, real spicy food and the service was amazing by Mohammad Umar Khan. Take care of all requests in details. Owner and staff was very caring. You will never go wrong and will enjoy spicy test. Hope they open more restaurants around other destinations in Turkey.

Nice food it is hot so i think it is fresh. It is a little bit expensive in comparison to other Turkish restaurant in this neighbourhood. But the quality of the food is better.

Many vegetarian options. Butter paneer was soooo delicious. Mango lassi fresh and big glas. We went 2x to eat there during our 3 days stay in Istanbul 😎 Prices are fair.

The Food was very good . First time we Took it to the Hotel. And second time we ate at the restaurant . The Restaurant is looking good and its clean. But they Need an ac it was too hot inside

Tried two of their signature dishes. Achari chicken was great, very delicious. Bombay special Bryani was so so. Not as per expectations. Over all, a good experience.

Really indian restaurant! I'm from Italy and probably I don't appreciate many flavors all together. Clean and very well kept, large portions and relaxing atmosphere. They don't have alcoholic drinks.

Very tasty Biryani, fair prices, wide variety and huge portions (we had some leftover to take home!) Great place if you’re craving Indian food. Totally recommend!

Amazing food! Great service and great value for money. Compliments to the chefs!

Need to improve service. Real bad service as well as big attitude. No onion and pickele were served. Had to wait for naan which was at 3.30 pm ... not busy even then. Male toilet - there is no toilet seat on commode. Toilets roll paper does not work and toilet is not maintened. You don't feel that foreign feel ..like clean and hygin.

Fairly palatable, is how I would describe the food at Bombay Masala. Not exquisite but not half bad either. We went in on a rainy afternoon and the restaurant wasn’t operational at 12:30 pm (could be abecause of the religious holiday). We went an hour later and ordered the below - aloo chana chat - a first copy of the original chat- it missed the vital ,date/ tamarind chutney (sauce). When we asked the owner/ manager for it, they offered a pomegranate sauce as an alternate. To our surprise it worked - Lamb Biryani- the flavours were right, though the lamb to rice ratio was abysmal. For most part we ended up having morsels of biryani rice without any meat. - Chicken Karahi- I struggle to find a good adjective to describe this one. Not a dish I would re order. Overall Experience- we noticed couple of table around us waiting for a long time to get their order however we received a prompt but a cold (in treatment)service. The staff missed to extend the city’s vibe of being friendly and welcoming. Nevertheless we don’t regret giving it a try.

We tried their Biryani. I would rate it as am 8/10. Balanced spices. Great quantity. However, its incredibly overpriced. Cola alone is 40TL which is ridiculous for the kind of setting and ambiance the place offers. Food is nice but too expensive!!!

A Flavorful Journey to Bombay Masala Indian Restaurant - A True Delight for the Senses. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bombay Masala Indian Restaurant, and it was an absolute culinary delight. From the delectable biryani to the mouthwatering Chicken Karahi, every dish exceeded my expectations and left me craving for more.

Whether you're a local resident or a visitor to the area, finding Bombay Masala is a breeze, allowing you to focus on the extraordinary flavors that await you. Now, let's talk about the food. The biryani at Bombay Masala was an absolute standout. Bursting with fragrant spices and perfectly cooked rice, each bite was a symphony of flavors that transported me straight to the streets of India. The combination of tender meat, aromatic spices, and the subtle hint of saffron made it an unforgettable dish. Equally remarkable was the Chicken Karahi. The rich and robust gravy, combined with succulent pieces of chicken, created a culinary masterpiece. The flavors were balanced to perfection, with just the right amount of heat and a medley of spices that made each mouthful a true delight. Furthermore, the variety of dishes offered at Bombay Masala ensured that there was something for everyone. From the flavorsome vegetarian options to the delectable meat and seafood dishes, the menu catered to diverse palates, showcasing the true essence of authentic Indian cuisine. The service at Bombay Masala was exceptional, with the staff demonstrating attentiveness and knowledge about the menu. Their warm and friendly demeanor added to the overall dining experience, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. Lastly, I must emphasize that the flavors at Bombay Masala were truly authentic. The attention to detail in capturing the essence of Indian cuisine was evident in every dish, and it was a joy to savor the traditional spices and flavors that transported me back to the streets of Bombay. In conclusion, my experience at Bombay Masala Indian Restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the convenient location to the tantalizing flavors, this establishment is a true gem. The delicious biryani, mouthwatering Chicken Karahi, impeccable service, and authentic taste all combine to create an unforgettable culinary journey. I highly recommend Bombay Masala to anyone seeking an exceptional Indian dining experience. I look forward to returning soon to savor more of their delectable dishes. Note: This review is based on my personal experience and the state of affairs at the time of my visit. Please verify the current menu and offerings of the restaurant before planning your visit.

Had very delicious experience! Authentic Indian flavours, didn’t find any other restaurant in entire Istanbul that would provide this much deliciousness! Warm and cozy ambience😍 Thanks to our attendant Nimra she was very kind and helpful, thank you Bombay masala ❤️

The curries here are the best, and better than any restaurant I've tried in London. After a chat we learned that they were a small family business who have brought over their authentic and original recipes from Pakistan. The food was impeccable. Service very friendly. Particularly Nimrah, who was so sweet and made us feel very welcome. I have visited twice already and plan on going again.

Unfortunately being the first review I write it is a negative one Paying 1800 Turkish lira for a bad service (spraying windows close to the table, I didn't eat a whole plate because I didn't like it and no one asked me anything about the reason or anything else) So the interest is coming in and paying, nothing else Quality inside restaurant but inexperienced staff. I leave a photo here with 5 fries also😂 a tip for you it s better not to put it at all because some other people might say it s disrespectful to put 3-5 fries in a plate

Enjoyed Veg Thali. It had Dal Makhani, Naan, Jeera Rice, Paneer Butter Masala, Papad, and Salad. Just enough quantity for 1 person. Food was tasty and spicy enough to find Indian taste buds satisfiable. If you are in the old town area, then this is a good option to explore. I went in for 2nd time, and this one completely changed my opinion about the food taste and quality and quantity. I ordered Bhindi Masala, Paneer Kadhai, and Garlic Naans. Omg, I was super happy to enjoy perfectly cooked to light crispy texture of Bhindi with Onions and Tomatos perfectly added spicy level.. Paneer was super soft and bell peppers, and Onions were so fresh and well cooked, still having light, crispy texture to enjoy it. I didn't expect this authentic taste like Mumbai at all. So, hats off to chef it to make it to perfection. Quantity was also more than sufficient for an individual dish. Last time, I had a limited Thali, so that could be a reason for lesser quantity in it. But if you are in Istanbul and craving for good Indian and Spicy food. Don't miss Bombay Masala.

If you like your asian food then youll enjoy this hidden place. But only once. I will say get the tram because 2 stops after you have alot more choice of restaurants. Back to this place. The food here to me is made in a quick way leaving out the homely asain food touch. But eatable and enjoyable. Do try this please is visiting istanbul.

The restaurant is really well decorated with a friendly staff. As for the food there is a great selection of delicious meals serve in large portions. Highly recommended!

Must visit Bombay masala restaurant in byazit Istanbul food was very rich taste wise very neat and clean place Helpful staff Real teste real taste vegetarian food also available I went there twice for dinner they are make feel at home with food

Not a good place to eat Pakistani, Indian dishes. Tasteless with too much price. Just go to any Arab restaurant and you can find better food in half price compared to this restaurant . But the staff was nice. İt was my first and worst experience.

The best Indian restaurant i have tried in Istanbul.. the place is cozy and nice .. the food was so delicious and spicy as i requested.. the waiter was so polite

Found this place while looking online for some authentic indian food in Istanbul. Walking distance and around the corner from the Blue Mosque. Have to say from start to finish the service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Cant fault it and is defo a must visit if you are in Istanbul!

Amazing place. Visited second time with family and the food is consistent and fulfilling. Staff are amazing. Owner has a big heart. Little kids came to beg for food. Instead he gave them free dining experience. Highly recommended.

Food was very good, enjoyed service as staff were very friendly, the restaurant was very clean and big, food tastes great, if you're in Istanbul I recommend this restaurant ?

My first indian Restaurant ever.The dishes are amazing. Mango lassi ,salad, byrani, chicken all is amazing. The prices are fair and the quality is high. The people are very friendly. IF YOU ARE IN ISTANBUL, TRY THIS RESTAURANT.But dont forget .... indian is very spicy :-) BEST GREETINGS FROM GERMANY

Food was good but bit expensive compared than all other restaurants around sultan ahmet. The amount of food is also small. You can see a sample price in menu that shared here.

First time in this restaurant and I can say the food was delicious. Went there with family. I'm very fussy because I'm such a good cook myself. There was a 20 minute wait but that's acceptable when you know the wait will be worth while.

Called Bombay Masala Fatih and asked if they would deliver to me in Kadikoy. Sadeem took a ferry ride to come deliver the food to me. I couldn’t believe it. The best restaurant the best service!!! Sadeem delivered a slice of home away from home THANK YOU BOMBAY MASALA! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Best Chai and Biryani ?

Absolutely top notch Indian food in a heart of Istanbul. One of the best Lamb Rogan Josh I have ever tried. Chicken butter was also very good. Service was great and I would recommend this place for all Indian food lovers. Place is located in alcohol free area and don’t serve any alcohol, not even bear. Only soft drinks, tea, coffee and water available. Otherwise great place to visit and eat. We paid 160 liras for the dinner for 2 people including two main courses, two nans, rice and a starter.

Third time eating here whilst staying in Istanbul - the food, service and staff are fantastic. Very clean restaurant, and the food is the best Indian in the whole city. Cannot recommend enough!

Sadeem is a absolute legend of a guy the food was amazing but the service was even more amazing !!! Highly recommend this establishment ❤️

Food is second to none, absolutely fabulous. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly as well. Would definitely recommend.

Best food I've tried in Istanbul, definitely recommend ?

Amazing food and great service. Thank you satim. Definitely recommend everyone to come here

It was very good experience to have desi food in istanbul Sultanahmet. Delicious food friendly staff.. neat and clean .. keep it up bombay masala team best of luck

After eating burgers for a week I found this restaurant and had very nice achari chicken and lamb achari, brilliant food and service, would definitely recommend, price is reasonable too, £20 for two curries and 7 large naan breads

Worth the price as the food is quality and make it desi style if you ask. Clean and staff friendly. Visited twice

Food was good and tasty. close to the tramway station which is a plus. However the food was quite pricey. Especially if you are a student and would like to eat desi food regularly, this would be hard to afford. A small water was apparently 5 liras, exorbitant if you ask me. But the student menu is affordable.

Recall great food if ur missing ur home country pakistan/India then go there and taste their fantastic variety of food

Delicious food warm welcoming staff Insfrastructure and lighting was authentic Pure desi food. Music collection was awesone. I did'nt missed pakistan visiting there..

Had a great experience having a large variety of indian pakistani food.. Such a good place to visit clean environmemt Taste was perfect according to desi recipes i was stuck how they manage to mantain such a traditional blend in foriegn.. Mango lassi Lamb biryani Butter Chicken Highly recomended...!? Staff was warm welcoming and friendly even the owner by himslef too... If you are in Istanbul don't forget to visit this resturant. Reasonable prices according to quality and quantity. I loved it will visit again and again inshAllah.

Food was amazing. So authentic. Service was great.

Tasty desi food Good service

Had a wonderful experience..... perfect indo-pak taste .Hotel staff is really cooperative and quick service .Highly recommended

We tried biryani here and it was really what it's called a pure, proper and delicious biryani by chef Rizwan. Management is also very cooperative. Recommended.

Very very nice place to visit with families

food is like home made

Very good indian food, good location, good atmosphere and reasonable pricing, the special lamb biriyani was good - Highly recommended

❤❤❤??

Amazing food and service . Probably the best indian food i have tasted in turkey ?

Quality and quantity comparing to the price is 2/10 I don't recommend the butter chicken it wasn't good 4/10 The bread bratha also wasn't original 2/10 The biryani is mmmm 7/10 Guys there are so friendly 10/10 Restaurant : please if you want to serve Indian food , follow the right recipe , specially when it comes to core Indian dishes , I took one rice , two butter chicken and one vegetable dish for 170 lira .

amazing food

We originally visited in September 2020 and were very disappointed . I described the location as brilliant, but unfortunately were very disappointed. I suggested that they look into couple of suggestions, and fortunately my friends and family visited Bombay Masala and I am delighted to say I have deleted my review of Sept 2020 and definitely looking forward to visiting them in May 2021 , travel permitting. Well done ! Bombay Masala , for providing expected service .

Food: 5 / Location: 4 / Service: 5 A symphony of spices! I had a chicken palak with Naan bread and a Mango Lassie. The Palak was amazing and perfectly balanced of many spices. Medium spicy was the right choice for my western taste. The Mango Lassie was fresh and very delicious. The Restaurant is close to the Gran Bazar in a Food Area. On two floors there are a lot tables and everything is very clean, even the bathroom. Top service and very friendly team. 👌

We were so pleased with Bombay Masala. If you want authentic Indian food, you must try this place. They provided an exceptional hospitality, even during Covid time.

Last day in Istanbul and tired of eating Turkish food so we decided to try this restaurant. Delicious indian food. Was well surprised. Even better than some restaurants in London. Superb service. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Honestly it's the best. Perfect spice, Curry, etc. I swear they have the best Indian food. If I had the chance to live close by, I would eat their everyday. Impeccable

Loved the Chicken Biriyani, 😍 made with perfection! must visit for Indian touch.

(Translated by Google) Their breads are very good, the flavors are already legendary. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) ekmekleri çok güzel,tadlar zaten efsane tavsiye ederim herkese.

While roaming around sultan Ahmet area came across this amazing restaurant.one of the best biryani we ever had in our lives.Yellow dal was also amazing and non veg BBQ was superb. Writing this review for all of you not to be deprived of this amazing food.10/10

Chicken Karahi, Daal Chicken, Chicken Tikka are all awesome. Love the Paratha and Chai as well. Very close to Grand Bazaar. 5 mins walk to Aya Sophia. Good seating. Great customer service. They also deliver food to your hotel.

Lovely Indian food 😍

The best İndian Restaurant in İstanbul highly recommended

Big portions, tasty food. Suggestion for the stuff to wear uniform for it to be easier to understand who's who

We had a delicious dinner @Bombay Masala! Taste was perfect for us. Would really recommend this restaurant.

Great indian restaurant! One of the best chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi we’ve ever had. Try the mango lassi as well, it was perfect!

Amazing food with clean and steady environment.. strongly recommended for taste and nutrition lovers✌👍

Great food!

The food here was tasty and full of flavor! Big portions for biryani and I loved the naan bread. Recommend highly for authentic Indian cuisine.

Hot and sour soup was really amazing One should try

This was the second time at Bombay Masala restaurant in Istanbul after being recommended by Wasim in Gaziantep. I am an Indian food lover and I have tried many Indian restaurants and this is in my top three and certainly number one in Turkey! The Lamb Karai I had today was amazing, the best I have tasted ever, and the sesame Nan bread, Mango Lassi and Biriyani rice were all wonderful. My wife had a chicken with rice and she also loved it. We will come back as often as I can although it’s a bit far from where I live. (The pic is from the previous visit)

Excellent services & management. quality food &good atmosphere. Successful ladies meetup celebration of soul sisters Turkey.

Ordered the non veg thali. Food was very tasty including the naan. Mango lassi was the best. Only issue was the papadam, it was soft instead of crispy. Would recommend this place with family.

Authentic clean and delicious. Very heavy and filling. Pani puri is so good

Great Pakistani food, quick and nice service. Everything was excellent but the Daal and Mango Lassi excelled. Great alternative to local food if you are staying for several days.

Amazing! living in Dubai standard of India food was high, these guys have done better than Atlantis. Great service, food and decor. Worth a visit when you're in Istanbul.

Very tasty food. Chicken Tikka Biryani and chicken Qorma were awesome. Recommended!

We had dal tadka, shahi mutter paneer, veg biryani and nan. Everything was super tasty and they made it spicy as per our taste. The staff is friendly and talks to you as a friend. A must visit place.

I've been going to this restaurant over the last few years. Its been taken over by new management and better for it!

Went to this place which is a gem. Food was absolutely fabulous. Service was great. Really good value for money and it’s a must place to visit for authentic Pakistani food whisky in Istanbul. We will definitely be going back.

Quality of food, environment, kind staff..... Overall nice

Absolutely amazing experience! went there several times during our visit, food and environment both are exceptional!! very kind staff, bismillah and Farwa. Looking forward to eat here again next time!! 10/10 recommended.

Very tasty curry and fresh naan. We ordered the palak paneer and butter chicken, both curry's can be tailored to your spice level, but be warned that mild is still spicy and spicy is very spicy! The onion seed and garlic naan's were fluffy and fresh. We saw many people order the Biryani which was a huge portion and looked great (although didn't appear to come with any curry sauce). Service was friendly and attentive.

Great news for our Desi food lovers… Want Desi food in turkey then Bombay Masala is here to help. They have authentic yummy, full of spices food.. We had Vegetarian Biryani, Garlic and Cheese Naan {if you are vegetarian and doesn’t eat eggs then do inform them, they will give you Naan without eggs}. It was little pricey but it was worth the food.

I just wanted to try some Indian food in Istanbul. I have checked the reviews online and thought I will give it a try. To be honest the food was not tasty at all. Myself an Asian from this region and I have been working in Indian restaurants for more than 13 years. The Sheek Kebab was really chewy. The quality of minced meat was not good. Too much fat in there and it was already pre grilled. Food came 5-6 minutes after the order was taken. The vegetable Samosas taste was ok but nothing special. Just stuffed with potatoes and a bit of spices. The garlic Naan was freshly baked and was the only thing with a decent taste. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for some nice Indian food in Istanbul. Better stick to all the Turkish food you have here.

We had dinner here twice, Restaurant staff is kind & good, Tried there dal makhani, paneer butter masala and naan were thicker we didn't like it. Taste was somewhat between good & average. Quantity is good enough for 2. Prices are on little higher side.

Top-notch service from the staff. You will be amaze how the teenagers maintain discipline in restaurants. Neat and clean restaurant. Songs was very nice i don't even speak Turkish but the way the singer singing song i loved it! You can say about price but when you start your meal you'll not complaint about the price best food ever eaten Note : We haven’t forgotten our promise now we’ll get discount next time 🤪

Great food, staff friendly. They made English tea for me which wasn’t on the menu. I ordered chicken biryani, butter chicken and achari chicken. Garlic naan was really good. Would definitely visit again if I’m in Istanbul and recommend to others.
