Bombay Bistro

In the heart of the city, where the sun sets with a weary sigh, there lies a place called Bombay Bistro. It is not a place of grandeur or pomp, but of simple pleasures and honest flavors. The kind of place where a man can find solace in a meal, and where the world outside fades into a distant hum.The chicken briyani, ah, it is a dish that speaks to the soul. The rice, golden and fragrant, each grain a testament to the care with which it is prepared. The chicken, tender and yielding, infused with spices that dance on the tongue. It is a symphony of flavors, a journey through the bustling streets of Bombay, all contained within a single bite.And the vegetable samosas, crisp and golden, hiding a treasure trove of vegetables within. They are a delight, a surprise, a moment of pure joy in a world that often seems devoid of such simple pleasures. The pastry, flaky and light, gives way to a burst of flavor, a medley of spices that sing of distant lands and ancient traditions.Bombay Bistro is more than just a restaurant. It is a sanctuary, a place where the weary traveler can find respite, where the lonely soul can find comfort. It is a place where the food is not just sustenance, but a story, a memory, a moment in time.So, if you find yourself in this city, lost and alone, make your way to Bombay Bistro. Order the chicken briyani and the vegetable samosas. Let the flavors wash over you, let them tell you their story. And for a moment, just a moment, you will find yourself transported, to a place where the sun sets with a weary sigh, and the world is a little bit brighter.

The chicken tikka makhani, saag paneer and chicken biryani are amazing!! I cannot wait to come back to try more dishes. The food came out quickly and the service was attentive.

My family and I love Bombay Bistro! From the quick, kind service to the seriously delicious food, it's the full package! Perfect for a nice family dinner, especially after the hectic holidays! Highly recommend (the tandoori chicken is my dad's favorite)!

The food was great! And the service was excellent! Will definitely be going back. Especially for their samosas!

We had some very good food recently at Bombay Bistro. We hosted a group of four of us recently for dinner at Bombay Bistro in the middle of downtown Rockville. The food was very good, though there were a few hiccups in service and surroundings. We were fortunate to get one of the few parking spaces in the tiny lot, and were warmly welcomed. Unfortunately, the booth they seated us at was extremely tight, even though the hostess tried to move the table a little. So we quickly asked for a non-booth table, and were seated nearby. There's not a lot of extra space in the dining room, so one of the staff was insistent about taking my jacket off my chair and hanging it up for me. That behind us, we perused the interesting menu and started by sharing the samosas and the chutney sampler with pappadoms, along with a mango lassi and a Kingfisher beer for me. We were also presented with a little amuse-bouche of a little glass containing a dumpling--it might have been the menu's vegetable bhajia--which was a lovely bite to start off with.We then ordered chicken tikka makhani, chicken dosa, tandoori lamb chops, and chicken Madras curry for me. My curry was very tasty, not too spicy, and my partner's dosa was impressive, a huge filled pancake, rolled over to more or less fit on the plate. I think we all enjoyed the food very much, and there was plenty to take home for the next day. The service was attentive and pleasant. Upon visiting one of the one-person rest rooms, I was disappointed to find it with no soap. In a small restaurant, that's concerning.Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Bombay Bistro, and would return.

Wonderful dinner. Everything was very tasty and the service was nice. We got chicken dosa, tandoori chicken, and a chicken curry. The naan was especially good. We have gotten carry out several times before during COVID and everything has always been yummy. The only miss that we ordered was the samosas which weren't as good as some other places.

The food was delicious. Very authentic! We tried the chicken Chettinaad for the first time. Very spicy. We love the samosas, garlic naan, & malai kofta curry. Very friendly staff. Fit us in on a Friday night holiday without a reservation. Yay!

We recently ordered for our office party, and the chicken curry was an absolute hit! The dish was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and had just the right amount of heat. The chicken was tender and cooked to perfection, absorbing all the rich, aromatic flavors of the curry. The sauce was rich and creamy, with a lovely balance of spices that had everyone going back for seconds.What really impressed us was how well the curry held up during the event. Even after being served in large quantities, the dish maintained its quality and taste. It paired wonderfully with the fragrant basmati rice and naan bread.We received numerous compliments from our colleagues, and I would highly recommend their chicken curry for any group event or office gathering. It was delicious, comforting, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal!

The food was delicious, the timing of the food was good. The service was awesome. I wish the portions were bigger enough to take home, but this is Rockville and inflation going on. The vibes were well, mediocre. I just used to ordering biryani and getting like a box full. Maybe it's just depends on the location. Maybe I will try carry out once and check out the portions then. The Chicken Biryani. The portion for a Biryani is usually bigger. Those crunchy onions were a hit or miss. Raisins and nuts were unnecessary. Chicken, I prefer authentic and bone-in. Very small portion with small chicken pieces. The flavor was delicious so I commend them for that. I would've preffered the Indian salad.

the best indian restaurant in the area since 1992. it's perfect every time. the veggie thali is especially special. highly recommend.
