Bombay Bistro: Reviews & Ratings
So enjoyed the buffet today with family! Delicious food and attentive and smiling service! We will be back!
Bombay Bistro in Rockville continues to delight us. We have been eating there for about 20 years and it is a family favorite. This time we ate outside and ordered the chaat (photo) and vegetable uthapaam, as well as perennial favorites saag paneer, vegetable biriyani, chicken tikka and garlic naan. So much better than most other Indian food we have tried.
I’ve lived here since Bombay Bistro was the only Indian restaurant in the area, so it holds a special place in my heart. They have always maintained quality and always greet you with a smile. The vegetarian thali is the best thing you can do for yourself. My Dad got the tandoori salmon and it was the tastiest fish I’ve ever had. Perfect texture as well. We tend to not recognize consistency and take it for granted but seriously; Bombay Bistro is the best Indian restaurant in Montgomery County.
Love it here - really tasty food, decent pricing and the staff is super attentive. I love coming here for the lime pickle! The vegetarian platter is really worth it.
Excellent lamb dishes and naan choices. Service is quite good and attentive, food arrives quickly and correct. Interior is a bit tired and the ceiling tiles could use a refresh, but we’ve always liked the food
We’ve been coming here for 15 years for dinner and celebratory meals. What a joy and comfort it is that the food and service has maintained its phenomenal quality! One of the best restaurants in Rockville — it never disappoints! Strongly recommend the Bhel Puri and the Aloo Tikki to start and all their curries are divine!
Excellent food and very hospitable staff. I had the lamb shank today which hit perfection in my search for the ultimate bhuna gosht. Last time I had the rock fish (with salmon kofta) which was also delicious.
This is the best Indian restaurant in the Rockville Bethesda area. So glad to discover this gem. I will start with the gulab jamun- authentic, delicious, served warm. I’ve been gluten free for a long time and this delightful dessert uses the authentic recipe and is gluten free. Absolutely delicious! For dinner I had the chicken tikka makhani. Lovely flavor with tender chunks of chicken. My friend enjoyed the Vegetarian Thali. Another highly recommended dish. I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes served at this special restaurant. And the review wouldn’t be complete without commenting on the amazing service.
