Bombay Palace

In Short – Cubbyholes with recessed lighting sheltering small statues fill white walls at this refined restaurant, creating an intimate, romantic vibe. The extensive menu draws from all over India, highlighting dishes such as the chef's specialty lamb nilgiri, a minty, thick stew of meat and vegetables, and paneer makani, soft cubes of fresh unripened cheese doused in sweet tomato cream. Alu paratha, potato-stuffed whole-wheat bread baked in a clay oven, is perfect for mopping up extra sauce.

HORRIBLE

by ella5252

I have ordered from here many times and they have delivered to my house ( 2 miles away) without any problem. Last night, I ordered food, my bill came to 60$. I waited over an hour in a half and it still wasn't at my house. They finally called ME and said that It is not worth their time to drive 2 miles away and deliver the food when i only spent 60$.

I could not believe that they said this to me! When i only ordered chicken tandoori, chicken masala and garlic naan and that food ( tiny portions) came out to 60$. What a rip off. She then tells me if i want them to deliver it i have to spend another 20$ and it will be worth their time to deliver it to me.

NEVER going back and NEVER sending anyone their. How unprofessional can a restaurant be? Horrible customer service and the food is mediocre. I suggest no one goes there.

Delicious food and super friendly staff!

by Jimbo2281

I went here for my anniversary and had an incredible dinner. The food is delicious, we had the tandoori salmon and they even brought us an extra serving because they thought the initial serving was too small (although we were stuffed!) The staff was very nice and helped us celebrate our special day. Can't wait to go back and I definitely recommend this place!

The Paneer is to die for

by M Bhand

The food here is so good. In college its hard to get good Indian food, I've tried a bunch of places, but this is the only one that really hits the spot. Portions are average size, but the taste more than makes up for it. Try the paneer dishes.

Pros: Food is awesome
Cons: Closed from 2:30-5:30

Nice ambience, food was terrible

Reading the reviews we went for the lunch buffet. The food was overpriced and the quality not so good as a vegetarian. The ambiance is nice but that's about it

bad experience

by samriti

FOOD OK BUT THEY THINK PEOPLE COMING FROM INDIA ARE BEGGARS, FOR THEIR INFORMATION PEOPLE WHO CAN TRAVEL SO FAR AND SPEND SO MUCH OF MONEY ARE IN NO CHANCE TO BE INSULTED BY THE RESTAURANT OWNER. SITTING IN BEVERLY HILLS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN INSULT ANY BODY. THIS IS NOT A PLCE TO BE IN - TRUST ME. I DID NOT WISH TO RATE BUT A MINIMUM RATING IS REQUIRED SO ONE STAR ONLY BY COMPULSION AND NOT BY CHOICE
