What Sandra A doesn't like about Bombay Cafe:
We have eaten here several times and always enjoyed the food, very tasty, not large portions, but adequate for our appetites and the couple who own it were very nice to deal with. We decided to order in one day, and I picked it up. Got home and opened our lamb dish...5 very. very, small pieces of lamb!! I couldn 't believe it! Five pieces! I called and asked why the serving was so small, and was told his wife always... View all feedback. What aneet kaur s likes about Bombay Cafe:

Not the greatest I tasted, chicken was dry and the sauce was like a thick tomato soup. Not alot of flavor, better choices for Indian cuisine in town.

Authentic Indian food! Amazing flavours, service and prices! Highly recommend!

The Bombay Cafe is a mixed bag of reviews, with some customers raving about the friendly owners and tasty food, while others were left disappointed by the quality of the dishes. One customer was shocked by the small portion of lamb in their order, while another described the beef curry as horrible and the biryani as overcooked. However, others praised the affordable prices and delicious food, with one customer calling it their favorite Indian place in town. The restaurant offers a lunch special that includes naan, butter chicken, rice, veggies, and dessert for under $10, making it a popular spot for midday meals. Overall, the Bombay Cafe seems to have a loyal following despite some mixed reviews.
