Bombay Republic Indian Kitchen and Bar

# I kept seeing this restaurant pop up on Yelp and wanted to give it a shot. The place looks great--the decor is very nice, and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken 65 Biryani; both were solid dishes. The portion size of the curry was a bit small for the price when compared to other restaurants. My total came out to roughly $40 before tax and tip.

they have some delicious starters & great ambiance! Bombay Republic is located in an apartment-store complex area, so it does have some parking in front of it, but it gets filled up fast. If you go a little bit past the restaurant, there is some retail garage parking. The inside of the restaurant has nice ambiance, and it can 2-3 large groups. We went on a weekday night, and there wasn't too many people. We ordered a lot of dishes, so buckle up - For the starters/grilled plates, we had: paneer plate of haryali and tikka paneer, lamb chops, cigar samosa, French fries, samosa chaat, rawa sea bass fry, shrimp koliwada, beet dahi puri, and the Bombay Vada pav. Our top favorites were the rawa sea bass fry, shrimp koliwada, and the Bombay Vada pav. We absolutely loved these three dishes, and hands down would order them when we're back in the restaurant. The French fries, haryali paneer, samosa chaat, and lamb chops were pretty good too. The main dishes we had were paneer kadhai, vegetable korma, and the mutton Rogan Josh. Paneer kadhai was yummy, veg korma was alright, and the mutton Rogan Josh was also good. For dessert, we had gulab jamun crème brûlée, and as someone who loves custard-based desserts, I really enjoyed this one.

Bombay Republic recently opened so I had to give it a try for the Friday lunch buffet. The ambience is more upscale than any of the other Indian places in Richardson, and the quality and variety of the buffet was better as well. But it is also most expensive at ~$25 including tip (I believe Friday is the weekend pricing so it may be cheaper Monday through Friday)They probably had twice the number of items on the buffet as some other restaurants in the area. I got stuffed just tasting a little bit of each. Fresh warm naan is brought directly to your table. My only complaint was the goat curry barely had any goat meat in it when I was there. It was all bones. I heard another customer complain about it to the staff that day as well. They should keep goat meat full given the relatively high price of the buffet.

My absolute favorite Indian buffet after one visit. We live over 30 minutes away, so it's a special treat, but worth the drive and the money. We're counting the days until our next visit. So many incredible dishes on the buffet, the quality, the elegance, the atmosphere is absolutely worth every penny. Very romantic ambiance. We loved the Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65, Fish Curry, Mutton Curry, Vegetable Korma, Garlic Naan, Masala Chai, guava punch, and our absolute favorite mango custard with mango pieces. There are many more dishes on the buffet we didn't even have room for, but everything we had was very high quality and superior taste. Even the dishes, plates, bowls, etc are perfect. And, excellent service! Highly recommended.

I have had dine-in and take-out here, and both times, the food was very nice. However, I felt the food was a bit pricey. The ambiance is great, the place is spacious with lots of seating, and there is enough parking around the complex. The service was commendable, too. Also, there is a lunch buffet throughout the week. We booked a table for dinner for a birthday and they also gave us a complimentary dessert. Would definitely recommend this for a good Indian restaurant.

Came here on a Sunday so got to enjoy the buffet. It got busy right around 12:30-1:00, it's all the church families coming after church. The food was good. They were out of mango lassi so that was disappointing. The tandoori chicken was spicy. Servers were attentive. I would come back.

A friend and I went here for lunch on a Friday and I will definitely be back. The inside is very well done with plenty of seating and the lunch buffet having a separate area. Everything was super clean and the staff were friendly. The manager even came by and checked on us as we were eating. The buffet has plenty of options for vegetarians and not just a few selections but a good 8 or so. For the meat lovers like myself they have your typical staples like Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani with rotating selections. The buffet area was super clean and was always well stocked. Overall I highly recommend checking them out and I will definitely be back.

If you decide to come here, just know it will ruin all other Indian restaurants. The lunch buffet is incredible! The garlic chicken, tikka masala, tandoori chicken, all so good! The atmosphere is welcoming and most of the clientele is Indian and that should tell you everything you need to know! Very likely the best Indian Restaurant in all of Dallas.

I got takeout from this restaurant. The food was pretty good. The butter chicken was soft and had bold flavors. It comes with rice. I ordered some naan, which was also very tasty. I got the chicken 65 biryani as well. It was good but very spicy. My total came to about $50. As some other reviewers have mentioned, parking is almost impossible to find outside this restaurant as it's located in a very busy area.

Liked this Indian restaurant! Went to a Sunday lunch buffet, packed to say the least. Service was still attentive and we met the kind owner but it is slow, I have to say. It was a Sunday lunch buffet so likely why. We had to wait a bit to get our tables cleared. Food was good and I liked the fusion options! So many dishes, includes goat curry! My carrot halwa had hair in it so showed the waiter. But overall would definitely return! Yummy spot
