Bombay Palace - Alençon

We went as a party of six on a Tuesday, the restaurant was warm and welcoming - it was freezing outside. The starters were hot and distinctively Indian - all home made, the sauces and dips were hot, sour, sweet and creamy, the popadoms were exceptional!Our main courses were served quickly, the naan breads were super, we chose many different toppings - including a garlic one which was wonderfully thick with fresh garlic, they were all freshly cooked. The meats in the Madras, Vindaloo and other specialties were succulent and tender - the chicken was really, mouthwateringly delicious. Dont expect really hot food, go for one hotter than you would normally - this restaurant is really geared to the French spice scale! The spice combinations were fabulous. I would recommend this lovely place to all - great food, great service and not too expensive!

The quality of the food served at this indian restaurant is acceptable (the main courses are pre-made and micro-waved) but the price is good value (10-12€ menus for lunch; 15€ dishes for dinner). The naans are good, but the lassis are closer to watered-down milk-shakes than real lassis.Service is extremely fast and nice.
