    Let's put it this way, the food was SO good we had to personally thank the chef! These guys know their stuff and they know authentic Indian. The staff are also very hospitable and welcoming, happily advising us on what to order. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend Bombay Palace!

    Our favorite place to visit every time when in London. Unfortunately, this time around the food and the quality of the service was very poor. We ordered Fish pakora and tasted like they dumped the entire box of salt into it. Informed the waiter about the issue and were served with a new batch, but still very salty. Regardless, after waiting for 20 minutes to order the main course and another 20 minutes waiting for it, we called it a night and paid the check. We went to another establishment and had a wonderful meal and a very pleasant staff.

    I had get together with 4 families in Bombay Palace. The food taste was below average. Curry portion sizes were small. Breads were hard. There was nothing special about the restaurant that I visit there again. Avoid it.

    An absolutely fantastic evening. Everything from the food to the ambience and the service were excellent in this restaurant. We were shown a wonderful time by this outstanding team, from our first moments walking in the door until we left. Our servers helped us with dish recommendations, and were exceedingly helpful and polite throughout the entire night. The food is second to none, and the only problem I had is that I couldn’t eat any more due to the perfect portion sizes that left us full and satisfied. I cannot recommend the Bombay Palace highly enough, I am already looking forward to my next visit!

    This place is pretty chic and they offer quite an interesting variety of curries, breads etc. Every curry (we ordered 5) tasted quite different and was nicely-executed. The Murgh Tikka was tender and flavourful, we enjoyed the Dal Tarka and Bindi Masala very much. Felt the Madras could be spicier. The naans were all good, though I felt the prices for rice were a bit exaggerated. A good address, we had Indian from Loughborough to Cambridge and London on this short trip and it was by far our favourite.

    To be honest to this restaurant, this was one of the better tasting Indian food I have had in Central London area. In my opinion, many Indian restaurants water down the authenticity so it can cater to a wider local audience. Nonetheless the food served at Bombay Palace straddled a fine line between being a British Indian cuisine and authentic Indian cuisine. And it succeeds in that regard. This success can be ascertained by the crowd that dine at the restaurant, consisting of both British and Indian customers. Depending on what kind of Indian food you like, there is a going to British Indian food like Madras curry and Tikka Masala, or OG Indian food like chaat and momos. You won't be stuck without options. We ordered the ragda pattice chaat, tandoori mixed grill platter, missi roti, paneer kulcha and chicken Tikka masala. The Tikka Masala and Mixed Grill were the best ones we have had in UK. No doubts about that. The portions were good too as the two of us were full and couldn't finish off the platter and Tikka masala. Now the reasons why we can't give them a 5/5 score are because: 1. Chaat item was just average. Missi roti was also really dry and hard to tear easily. 2. The food felt a bit overpriced for the overall experience. 3. The vibe and decor of the hotel felt like it was stuck in the 1990s and would really need to upgrade to reflect how other premium Indian restaurants are in London. In the end I came out of the restaurant with a full belly and happy experience. I will recommend this place especially if you are looking to have a group dinner just because of the sheer variety of Indian food you can experience.

    Love coming to this restaurant! Closest to india taste you can get in London! Robert as always is a legend! Great service. Would recommend the Chill fry idli, Bhindi, madras chicken and tandoori chicken!

  • 5/5 May A. 6 months ago on Google
    This Resturant was recommended to me by the hotel conceirge. I went around 7 PM and I was seated immediately. I had an amazing service, great atmosphere and superb food. Not too loud, you can easily converse with your company which is something that’s been lacking in restaurants lately. We ordered Butter chicken, vegetable beryani and Punjabi Samosa which were all so good and cooked to perfection.

  • 4/5 Neman K. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent food in a central London location, however pricey, but real kick in teeth is for the extras like nan and soft drinks which quickly add up and in a large group will double your bill! Advise stick to the water and plain rice, then enjoy the rest of the food freely and it will be a great compromise. Shame as you feel a little sore for the extras, but overall it is a London venue so fairly likely you will now be ready for this when you book now so will soften the blow. In summary I would go back if looking for a good meal in London.

    Excellent find - authentic dishes with amazing flavours and very warm, attentive, welcoming staff who are well informed and friendly. Overall, a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening. Lovely ambience and just the right distance between tables which is quite rare we find at central London restaurants. A big thank you to Adi and The Bombay Palace team!

    This is one of my most favorite restaurants in London. After they revamped the place, the interiors and decor has become even better. Excellent and courteous service, food to match for and fabulous choices for vegetarians. Went there twice in span of 7 days. That says a lot for their food and service. Their black daal is a must have. Highly recommended for true Indian food.

  • 5/5 Lajla T. 2 years ago on Google
    We are truly fortunate to have the Bombay Palace on our doorstep. We have been dining here for 30 years both in the restaurant and take out. The food is always excellent and the staff are friendly and professional. Worth making a trip for. Find the app a little tricky but sure that practice will help! All the food is delicious and spicy but the Punjabi samosas deserve a special mention.

  • 5/5 Rob R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great experience and meal at Bombay Palace. This is a restaurant that we live very close to and have been meaning to try it sooner.. we will definitely be back. We brought our son who is 2 and the staff were incredibly friendly with him, playing with him and letting him feed the fish. Every time he walks by he talks about his "friends" there. We would highly recommend; thank you for the great service!

    A wonderful Indian restaurant with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Made an excellent vindaloo. The lamb curry also excellent. Wonderful decor and a relaxed setting where it’s quiet and you can carry on a pleasant conversation. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

    Hands down the best Indian meal I have had in a long time, possibly the best ever. Rohan was an exceptional guide. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a meal here soon!

  • 4/5 Uros T. 1 year ago on Google
    Not really an expert on Indian food but my butter chicken was great and the more experienced members of my party were properly sweating after ordering extra hot food (apparently they really enjoyed it). Our main waiter was the best one I've seen in ages. He completely connected with everyone, listened, advised and made us feel very welcome.

  • 2/5 Fiona L. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere nice some staff were nice, but thats it , my starter was extra salty, I sent it back. The main dish I had piece of the prawn (mixed grill) it was so chewy and disgusting, the spices added to the grill was awful, I wanted to send my mains back too, we arrived at 19:30 and after asking three times we got our mains after waiting until 20:35, they apologised and gave us two pinacolada’s on the house, the food was very bad under average Indian food. Two stars are only for atmosphere and drinks thats it! Its 3:21 am in the morning and I have upset tummy while writing this review. By the way the mint chutney sauce was off and tasted like it was fizzy 😖. Funny fact is that they charge so much for their food too!! Very disappointed as it was our anniversary.

  • 5/5 Stephen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wish I could rate this place higher. They graciously accommodated our party of four about as late as they possibly could, and then proceeded to serve us amazing, delicious food quickly and efficiently, and also politely and with charm. Really, really lovely restaurant with top quality Indian cuisine. My first time here, but it definitely won't be the last! (Will take more photos next time.)

  • 2/5 Vaneson P. 2 years ago on Google
    When to this place to celebrate a friends birthday. When we first got to the place it was not too busy. We ordered our starters and it came within a reasonable time and were amazing. As the night progressed and it started becoming busy the staff seemed overwhelmed with the number of guests. It took a long time to get someone's attention to order our mains. Then it took even longer to receive it. We weren't impressed with the mains. The food that we ordered was over spiced and left an unpleasant after taste in the mouth. I had to walk up to one of the waiters and ask for them to come over so that we could order our drinks. The place is expensive but I really wouldn't have minded the price if the quality of the food was consistent throughout the evening. Definitely will not go back.

    This was the best Indian food I have ever eaten, it was amazing, Rohan and the team was amazing, so polite, welcoming and nothing was any trouble, I will 100% make the hundred odd mile journey again just to go there again

  • 5/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food - and thanks to the staff who were able to accommodate our group of 13 into one table area at relatively short notice. Although service was somewhat slow in coming - the taste was absolutely amazing!! Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Manjari R. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the food and the ambience. Perfect place if you are looking for a decent family restaurant with authentic tastes of India. Would rate it more than Dishoom, if asked. Staff is super polite and humble. Peaceful dinner everyone's favourite after long day of exploring the London attractions.
