Bombay Street Food 2

Cozy, clean restaurant in DC. Not usual for me to eat by myself but was in the middle of a business trip on a Saturday. Was in the mood for Indian. Order butter chicken and tandoori shrimp. Both were really well done. The shrimp had just enough spice to give kick a nice kick. Overall service and timeliness of the food was very quick. I was in and out within 45 mins which was perfect.

This place was soooo good! We went when it was warm and sat outside with our dog. The waiter offered our dog water which was so thoughtful!We ordered Goat biryani, which is one of their signature dishes. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten in my entire life! The only negative was that a small portion of the bread dough was undercooked. Despite this, I loved the presentation and the utility of a bread top on this dish! The bread was tasty and similar to naan.The butter chicken was flavorful and smooth. It paired perfectly with the basmati rice. I LOVED the dirty mango lassi cocktail - I loved it so much that I ordered a second one! It's refreshing and creamy, two things that don't often go together! The Taj Mahal was a huge beer which we were not expecting, but it was smooth and light.We will definitely be back!

Very pleasant restaurant- clean, relaxing interior with nice pop music playing. Food was served quickly and was both plentiful and delicious. Services was excellent.

I thought the food here was pretty decent! I came with a friend who loves it and finally decided to give it a shot. We split the samosa chaat, and I got the butter chicken with some garlic naan and a cutting chai. The butter chicken skews a little sweet for me but the chicken was well done and they gave us plenty of rice. Early service on a Saturday was a little sleepy but I can't blame them too much for that. The restaurant itself is nicely styled and it was very clean and cozy. While it's a little more expensive than I want to spend on Indian food, it's about right for DC/Eastern Market.

Bombay is my go to for Indian food! They never disappoint and the food is consistently good. I love the variety the feast for two offers and I utterly enjoy it every time! The parking is rough! I recommend Bombay one hundred percent!!!

Overall a great Indian cuisine experience. My previous experience was a 3* takeout experience, however, dining in is where their quality and value is. The few times I've dined in the customer service has been very good and the food quality is delicious. This is perhaps one of the best dine-in Indian restaurant experiences I've had in the DMV. I've tried the goat curry, goat kadai, lamb vindaloo, butter chicken, chicken curry, tandoori chicken, and naan which are all delicious, authentic, and full flavor. Their vindaloo dishes are traditionally spicy in every sense of the word. This place is located in Barracks Row, so street parking is scarce. Also, the restaurant is small which often creates long lines out the door of people waiting for a table, so consider this on Friday and Saturday nights. Give them a try.______________________________________________________________________________Previous 3* Review from 9/30/2023 - TAKEOUT REVIEW: Visited this location for lunch immediately after opening for the day. When I arrived the restaurant was empty however third-party delivery orders seemed to be bustling. I perceived this as a good sign that perhaps the food here is good if locals are ordering delivery. The wait for my order was approximately 30 minutes after I completed my takeout order over the phone (again, I called when they opened at 11:30am). When I arrived the person who tended to me explained the order completion time I was given was due to the food being made-to-order, to which I felt good about. After all, we all want fresh food. The food was OK however I was a bit disappointed in the amount of oil pooled at the top of my Goat Curry. I've had plenty curry before (including the Bombay Street Food location at National Harbor) and this experience by far had the most oil in the curry. I literally had to remove the oil with a tablespoon. Short of that, the goat was delicious. I'll give them another try and eat in to see if the experience is 4*-worthy. Give them a try for yourself.

I'm so excited to learn that Bombay Street Food expanded to more restaurants around the city. Hands down, the best Indian food in the city. My sister was craving Indian food and I knew exactly where to take her. We did go when the weather was pretty bad so it was empty. We were grateful that it was opened that day. I'm pretty basic when it comes to ordering. I typically order butter chicken or chicken tikka masala. This time, I asked our server what he recommended and he said korma. I've never had it so I gladly ordered it. I'm so glad I did because I think I found my new favorite Indian dish. Korma had the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and everything in between. It was delicious! My sister ordered the chicken Bombay Biryani - it comes with naan - and she was really happy. Heck. We were both very happy and worth the trek through the snow and cold winds.

I've ordered takeout but I want to come back to sit in person. This is a really satisfying Indian food place in DC. We had the chicken tikka masala and the lamb vindaloo. The lamb vindaloo was my favorite of the two dishes.

Had a very nice dinner here! Ordered the palak chat, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan, which was all very tasty, but wanted a bit more garlic flavor for the naan. Service was quick and friendly and had a nice and comfortable atmosphere

Stopped in on a snowy night in DC. This was one of the few places open, and the cozy interior and quick service couldn't have been better, especially considering the weather.We ordered the samosas, chicken tikki masala, and lamb rogan josh. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend, and we will be back!
