Bombay Express

Ordered bun maska and it had smell of other masalas. Seems like butter knife was used to cut/ make other items in menu. Please use separate knife to apply butter on bun.

I got a lamb biryani takeout. It is spicy as hell! I'm Chinese and have pretty high spice tolerance. But this just blows my mind - is this Indian or spicy Mexican??? Can't believe this is $20, not including the bunch of taxes and fees. So disappointed.

The worst Indian food I have had in SF/Bay Area. I ordered masala dosa and idli vada combo. Everything tasted stale, the dosa doesn't even look like dosa, look at the picture below!!!! The dosa was so hard that it was impossible to eat. The sambhar that came with the food had a ton of uncooked dal, seriously why open a restaurant when you are going to give half cooked food to people!??? Never ordering again, the price is ridiculous for this crap!! I would give ZERO stars if that was an option

We ordered takeout from here on a Friday night and were very impressed! Excellent food, a smooth online ordering experience, fast preparation, and an efficient pickup process.My husband, toddler, and I shared the following dishes, and had plenty of leftovers. We truly enjoyed every single dish: 1) Palak chicken - amazing! Flavorful, yet not too rich; I absolutely loved this dish!2) Gobi Manchurian - tasty, though be prepared for a good amount of heat3) Aloo tiki chaat - great; the pomegranate in the dish was a nice touch 4) Hyderabadi chicken biriyani - delicious; expect some heat; if you have leftovers, expect it to be even spicier the next day 5) Dosa/vada combo, served with sambar - fresh and flavorful, with an excellent coconut chutney6) Malabar paratha - rich and tasty7) Naan - soft and fluffyThe online ordering experience on their website was smooth and easy (the one thing that would have made it better was being able to pay by Apple Pay!).The food was ready fast - within 20 minutes of placing the order. The pick up experience was unique and efficient. The location seems to be one where multiple restaurants have takeout/delivery only operations. We received a text asking us to wait in the car until we got a notification stating our food was ready. The food was ready within a couple minutes of the promised time. Once I got the text saying the food was ready, I had to go inside, check in on an online kiosk, and then stand in a short line for pickup. The place generally felt Covid-safe, with masking and social distancing protocols being followed.We truly had a wonderful experience, and look forward to ordering from Bombay Express again!

We didn't realize this was one of those cloud kitchens, which is essentially a shared kitchen space built exclusively for delivery/take out, so the location was hard to find when we got there. You can only order online through UberEats, DoorDash etc so keep that in mind and order ahead - there aren't any menus or restaurant employees to assist at the location. We got a text message with an ETA for when the food will be ready for pickup and although it was 50 mins out, it was pretty accurate. There is a kiosk to check in when you get there and when the food is ready to go, you pick it up from the counter. We got to see the cool robot assistant bringing out the packaged food from the different restaurants at the location. Efficient.We got the kachori chaat and vada pav. The kachori chaat tasted authentic and was delicious. Just the right balance of spice, sourness and sweetness. The vada pav was pretty good but I have had better in the bay area. It tasted fresh but was missing the garlic/peanut and cilantro chutney that it usually comes with which complement it so well. Overall very pleased with the food, will return to taste their other menu items.

Bombay Express is one of the many "cloud kitchen" based restaurants that have opened up. Basically they operate out of a shared space and as such only do delivery and take out orders - no physical restaurant to eat in. The menu is pretty expansive, more so than most Indian restaurants. They have everything from chaat and other street food to various curries to dosas. I didn't try the south Indian food (dosas and so on) or the biriyanis but the other items were generally good. Pav bhaji: this was pretty disappointing. This is something I grew up eating and the bhaji just didn't have the slight sweetness (usually from dried mango powder) I'd expect and was also really much thinner in consistency. I also expected the pav (bread) to be grilled or something but it was just little rolls of bread that were cold. I'd skip this in the future probably since most of the other food was far betterGobi manchurian: basically fried cauliflower in sauce. It was pretty spicy so stay away if that's an issue. This was pretty enjoyable and it was really crispy despite being deliveredPalak paneer: I liked this but it is definitely on the sweet side compared to every other time I've had this dish. It was basically like creamed spinach and paneer. The sweetness could be because they use both coconut and regular milk, not sure. I would get this again despite it being a bit different than I expected, and the sweetness went especially well on the side of the spicy gobi manchurianChicken tikka masala: The menu says this would be orange but mine was actually brown and also much less creamy than I thought it would be. Not sure if I got the wrong item. Regardless the curry was pretty good. I didn't really care for the chicken pieces in it but the actual gravy was niceNaan and roti: The naan was a little different, perhaps they don't have a full tandoori oven as it tasted a bit more like what you'd make at home. Both the naan and roti were good and complimented the other dishes.Overall, I'd probably put Bombay Express between 3.5 and 4 stars. Some items were really good and others just okay. I would order from here again and probably try more of the menu

Saw this new restaurant on Uber Eats and decided to give it a shot! I ordered a Veggie Frankie and Vada Sambhar - Both were really good. Veggie Frankie which was more like a Veggie Indian Burrito was exceptionally tasty and quite filling! Medu Vada was perfectly crispy from outside and soft from inside. Sambhar was good, but the coconut chutney it came with is to die for!! Overall, loved the food, great quantity and packaging - will definitely order again!

Ordered Samosas and Gobi Manchurian $25 including tip!GobiIts a cloud kitchen restaurant! not prepared fresh. Gobi felt like somebody used refrigerated food, heated and packed it with a sauce! It was just horrible!!SamosaThis is the first time i tasted any samosa this bad! same like above! Just the worst taste! It felt like eating cardboard!

I ordered chicken tikki masala and it was so spicy I couldn't finish it. The naan had a strange aftertaste like it was soapy or some chemical. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Ordered via Uber, prepared wrong order and did not deliver all items. Food quality was also bad. I am really wondering how the restaurant has received so many good reviews. Price is also very high for the quantity.
