Bombay Cafe

My husband and I were big fans of this restaurant when it was on Andrews Avenue (and I worked nearby). We lost track of it and just discovered its new location in Oakland Park.We went for lunch on a Monday and were the only diners for the hour or so we were there. The place is large, seating at least 80. And servers are very attentive.We had the 1/2 chicken tandoori and the lamb kadhai, both medium spicy. And of course, an order of naan.The dishes were brought to our table by the chef with the tandoori sizzling and the kadhai hot. They were accompanied by rice and a tray of four different sauces. (My favorite is always the tamarind chutney. I especially like it on my naan, after the meal, as a sweet treat.) The tandoori was tasty and moist. The kadhai was a wee bit dry and a tad salty. Nevertheless, the flavors still were good with thin strips of ginger used as a garnish on top. There is no buffet and no lunch menu. The meal with 2 entrees and an order of naan with tax and tip was $47. Be warned: There is a more than 3% surcharge to use a credit card. Since they were charging more than we would make from the credit card for the purchase, and we had just enough cash, we opted to pay with cash.

Went to Bombay Cafe for the first time yesterday and I think I found my new fav Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and arrived hot. The food looked so good, I totally forgot to take pictures of the entrees I got (paneer bhurji and palak kofta). I have a hard time finding a good Indian restaurant because many times I feel as if the various gravies taste the same or have a lot of sweetness added however, this was not the case for Bombay cafe. Each entree had a distinct taste and was packed with flavor. Will be going back to try some more options. The restaurant itself was reasonably priced as well. The staff were friendly.

Bombay Cafe is my favorite restaurant in the world, and I've been a loyal patron for 18 years. The Indian food is consistently exceptional, with standout dishes like dal makhani, surti dal, and aloo saag being personal favorites, while my husband adores the Tandoori Pesh-Kush and Butter Chicken. We visit weekly and always enjoy the welcoming, friendly staff who are fantastic with suggestions. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, Bombay Cafe is a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.

I used to go to Bombay Café when it was on Andrew's and they had a buffet. the buffet was great. I do not believe they have a buffet at the new location, which is a real shame.

Ordered take out to accompany my home made butter chicken. I ordered naan, the cheese pakora and the samosa. The naan was good but the rest I regretted ordering. In particular, the cheese pakora came cold and soggy. The cheese was plastic like (see pictures). Cold with zero cheese pull.

We had the chicken kadhai, lamb madras, and shrimp vindaloo. All were absolutely delicious and we definitely overate because it was so yummy. I have a few allergies/sensitivities and they were really great about my ordering and checking in after we got the food which was super appreciated! We will definitely be back!I do wish they had dosa, but I also may have missed it.

We came in late night and the food and service were amazing. The restaurant was very clean , we will be back very soon. Try the chicken korma.

Pre Covid are used to go when they were at the other location on Andrews Avenue. This is the first time I ate at the new location on Oakland Park Boulevard. The food was absolutely superb. I had the lamb vindaloo to perfection. And ordered whole wheat roti bread. Whatever order here I always love the meal. it's kind of sad that they no longer have the Buffet. That used to be the staple for lunch and on weekends. Nevertheless, this place has superb, genuine Indian food which I highly recommend you try.

Very good Indian food! Very nice staff! Only complaint is the food is prepared with a lot of butter/oil. Otherwise amazing !

Best Indian food I've ever had! 10/10. I am basic and get the tikka masala and the samosa but it always comes out hot and fresh. The color of the food is vibrant. Perfectly spiced. Love this place!
