The Bombay Frankie Company

When you visit Bombay, you are likely to counter an interesting wrap that's locally called Frankie. You have food trucks as well as restaurants that specialize in an egg wash on a naan-like tortilla, with a filling of marinated chicken, paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or spiced potatoes, along with mint cilantro chutney, raw diced onions and some tangy spices.Bombay Frankie Company brings this street food experience to LA and does a decent job at it. I tried the paneer Frankie, with its 12 hour marinated paneer, and it was delicious, filling and great value. The owner recommended trying the paneer pizza, which turned out to be even better. A super thin crust with a deliciously addictive topping, where the star is their marinated paneer.What you may miss but is worth a try is their a la carte Indian curries.If you are in the Culver City area or visiting the Westfield Mall, BFC is accessible from the outside, facing the parking lot. Service is friendly and quick. There's seating for 8-10 couples and small families, with counter service. Tip: If you are picking up, there are 20 minute spots that are across the restaurant for pick up.

I like chicken tikka masala. I like burritos. Well I came here to see if I woud like a chicken tikka masala burrito! The Bombay Frankie Company is on the northeast side of Westfield Century City, outside the mall. Between Macys and Nordstrom Rack. Parking was plentiful and the wait was minimal. The outdoor patio was nicely lit and there were heaters. Inside was a mix of low tables and high counter seating. Frankies are a popular street food. It's basically a wrap made of naan, stuffed with vegetables and your protein of choice. Garlic naan or roti is an extra $1. Vegetarian options can be made vegan upon request. You can also get a frankie bowl without the bread. They also have naan tacos, pijja (pizza), and other sides. Order on the tablet if the cashier is busy. Beverages are in the refrigerated display case on the right side. The portions were big, I only ate half of the frankie and saved the rest for lunch the next day. It came with thick cuts of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and juicy chicken. The masala, mint chutney, tamarind sauce, and mint crema create a vibrant balance of tangy, salty, and sweet flavors. Personally I believe it would have been better if the ingredients were chopped and cubed into smaller pieces. It was messy to eat with the chunks of vegetables and protein with each bite. Make sure to pair your meal with a bottle of their homemade yogurt drinks (lassi). Not too sweet with just the right amount of tartness!

Was much better when it was inside the gas station on Santa Monica near the 405.My favorite back then was the Mango Lassie. It tasted homemade and was thick and rich. So delicious. In the new location the Lassie was thin and almost flavorless compared to the old one. It tastes like it was made in a factory.No point in going back, their "Improvements" are a giant step backwards.

Location is a bit hard to find if you're using google maps. It's basically outside of the mall. Seating is plentiful and staff were great. Honestly expected a lot more flavor but the chicken burrito was a bit lackluster. The meal came with a small mango lassi which was great.

We always passed by this place whenever we went to the culver mall so finally decided to stop by being a fan of both Indian food and burritos! We decided to go with the chicken tikka masala wrapped in the naan and was a fan of the concept. Do be warned that it's a very messy eat so be prepared to sit there with plenty of napkins at your disposal. The chicken was a tiny bit dry for my liking but would definitely be willing to try it again as it may have just been cooked a little too long that day. If you're a fan of mango, highly recommend complimenting the meal with the mango lassi as it was delicious with the perfect amount of creamy and cooled down the spices in the burrito.

This place is an innovative Indian food place that specializes in Indian burritos. My partner first had Kathi rolls in New York and has been a fan of them since. We came here on a weekend night and each ordered the chicken tikka masala Kathi roll with a garlic naan wrap -- one regular spice and the other partly spicy. We thought the Kathi rolls were pretty good but the proportions were off. There was too much chicken and sauce and not much else, or at least you couldn't taste much else. There was like 1-2 pieces of potatoes and there was supposed to be other pieces of stuff but we didn't really see or taste it. My partner agreed and said there should have been more toppings, including some rice, in the roll. There wasn't much of that. The veggie samosa we ordered had more variety in it, including peas, rice, sauce, potatoes, than the Kathi roll. As for service, it was very slow. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. We were expecting it to come out faster but the 3 workers working on like 20 orders didn't seem to be enough. This includes to-go orders. I could tell some customers were frustrated. If I went back, I would try other things. They should definitely work on the proportions of their toppings and also their wait times.

Recently got their Shahi Paneer Frankie and it was absolutely delicious. Great portion size and generous amount of paneer and gravy. Served with a side of raita / yogurt. I used to order from here pretty regularly a couple of years ago but they have really upped their game now

This is a fun lunch place that serves burritos with an Indian twist! We tried paneer tikka and chicken tikka masala Frankie and both were excellent.Naan was freshly made in front of us. The service was efficient and friendly.Love the cool Indian dry snacks, that you can buy. They also serve different flavors of lassi. I believe they had beer and wine too. It had a nice modern ambiance with the perfect Indian touch.

Thanks again to both Sid & Alex for excellent customer service yesterday! You both rock!

The chicken tikka wrap meal is 10/10. Smothering in delicious sauce and a nice balance with the other fillings. Comes with a mini bottle of their housemade lassi. I love the mango flavor. Every time I've dined here I feel like the service is fantastic. The chef delivers it herself and she always makes sure we are good. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Indian cuisine.
