Bombay Bites in Leicester

Fantastic as Always! I used to come to Bombay Bites regularly back in 2013 when I was at university, and I’m thrilled to say the quality and service remain just as amazing! The food is absolutely delicious, and the large box size is incredibly filling—packed to the brim with flavor. The place is spotless, and the staff are super friendly, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! Highly recommend it!

I ordered the Churros which were amazing and the Dutch pancakes which were light and fluffy and they didn't hold back with the toppings !!. I also had the oreo shake which went down well. Everything tasted fresh and actually looked like it does on their menu.

Masala Meltdown was spot on. Love the food here and the service is always on point. Papdi Chaat, Samosas and Mumbai Sandwich were also great. Epic that they do Student deals too.

Ahmed bhai was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent service. He asked me whether its my first time and then graciously offered me a bite. I ordered 2 boxes instead of one which I originally planned. This is what good service is all about. Both Bengal and Madras boxes were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

I was literally glued to the history of this family established and run business with its long history colourfully portrayed on the wall. One of my favourite places to date, and one to cherish. Definitely be visiting again on my future trips to Leicester. Owner Ahmed Wahid was a pleasure to converse with and a very friendly proprietor. Very good value for money and their twist in the fast food market is quite a niche. They are also offering franchises so if you're interested get down and meet them.

food was stone cold,very poor quality,who puts curry on top of salad ? won't be ordering anything from this place again !!!

Amazed by the quality and quantity of food from Bombay Bites. Of course it is not Restaurant quality, but it is a better alternative to dried out kebab or burger after a few beers. The tastes and flavours are really good and , judging by the amount of customers in there ,they agreed. Small selection of food to choose from or build your own, this really is , cheap and cheerful. Small dining area inside should you choose to dine in.

First time trying this restaurant last night & It's actually pretty tasty just flavourful & vibrant all round

Best biriyani ever I had in my life

Meat was very chewy and the chicken was chewy. I wouldn’t order again

we had to go to a different street to fetch it.

The fish pakora and chips was okay but the chicken tikka meal was not as expected.

Consistent good food wether you you get delivery or pick up in person. The service from the staff is always warm and friendly. Was offered a cup of tea whilst I waited, you don’t often find small acts of kindness like that anymore which is why I made the effort to write a review today. It well deserved.

Ordered the large box and most the box was filled with chips and only put the tandoori chicken at the top.

Amazing food Amazing taste. Good quantity. I come here to eat from a different city. Absolutely worth it 💯!

One of the best foods I’ve ever had in UK reminded me of my home country!❤️🙌

Service was excellent and food was amazing

Just ordered and was the worst bombay bites ever. Extremely disappointed.Spend £27 for 2 boxes. Barely any chicken and extremely dry even though I paid for extra sauce and told the staff make sure they put sauces at bottom aswell as top of box. For the price you'd think they would make food better gone downhill and prices skyhigh. Avoid plenty of better food places on the road worth the money.

Food is nice but very expensive to what u get

Tried this place a week ago and the food was really nice. I ordered bombay fish and chips and enjoyed it. The fried onions and sauces added that extra dimension of flavour, the fish was really nice. It was abit oil heavy for my liking but enjoyed nonetheless. Will definitely be trying other items on the menu

Extra crispy onions and cheese brother? That will be £19.78 Awful way of charging people extra

yummy and hot as usual.. compliments to the chef

I’ve been going to Bombay bites for years now and it’s the quality of the food is the same as the first time I’ve tried it. The staff are always extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. Definitely a place to visit if you’re near Leicester.

Quality food and service will be going regularly as the price you pay is for the quality of the food you eat 👌

10/10. Great tasting food and such a warm receptive service. The staff and owner were super friendly and the food was top tier. Popped in for a nice little munch and I couldn't complain with the portions or taste! 100% recommend if you're in Leicester. Nice seating spaces and family friendly too. They also do a beautiful Desi tea. Don't miss out people

Customer services is different here the owner here really goes above and beyond and creates a really comfortable atmosphere. The food is quite creative standard Indian but with a takeaway twist that’s put into box. Quite the legendary place in Leicester and now a lot of people come here from out of town. I would recommend it if you’ve not tried it. Definitely on the list of to try places in Leicester.

Food is amazing. Very impressive success timeline on one of the walls.

Ordered chicken tikka masala, Disappointed to find out they charge extra for the sauce. What a joke

Food is always tasty and staff very friendly highly recommended

absolutely delicious. was so surpised that id never eaten here before and i pass it 2 to 3 times a week,food was cooked well,nice spice levels ,so many flavours experienced at once.I enjoy spicy food,this was very good.

yummy as usual.. tried the veg somosas today.. perfect not too spicy hot and not bland just right!! compliments to the chef

Good taste/food, but now way too expensive for what you get nowadays for fast food.

The brother who owns should be proud of this establishment, amazing service, great food

Excellent. Love Bombay bites. It’s always full of flavour!

yummy as usual.. hence why I keep coming back :)

Went with 5 of my uni mates. Felt at home with the Bangladeshi hospitality!!

the brother was helpful and gave us free sample before we tried the food, overall food was lovely good service!

Driver brilliant always on time.

I only received two cokes I ordered 3?

Great food at a great price. Special mention to the owner and his team for such great customer service, offering superb suggestions and great conversation. Would definitely recommend

Again yummy as ever.. i went for a sweet n spicy sauce for me was a bit spicy next time will stick to sweet only.. hot n spicy food in these freezing temps you cant go wrong.. plus said it before the boxes the food comes in are not as the pics they are even better good quality cardboard round boxes.. no leakages!!! plus no washing up to do! well done!

Staff need to be more honest and upfront when taking orders. They always ask do we want curry sauce/cheese or other items without giving the clear price. This is a very bad practice and shows the dishonesty of the workers. All the branches in Leicester do this. When you ask the customer whether they want so and so. The price should be clearly stated at the same time. You cannot expect customer to be aware, especially for someone new to the city or for one to be offered something they never have tried before. Just be honest and mention price. Don't ask customer for additional toppings if they are not informed of the price difference.. to deceive someone like this is clearly unethical and wrong. Teach them to say phrases like "would you like curry sauce on top for an extra 95p?" "Would you like to add cheese for only £1 extra" "For extra sauce on the side would be 95p" "Would you like fresh coriander for an extra 25p extra" "Just to let you know Mayo is 30p extra" These are all reasonable toppings which one may believe are included Not met anyone who expects poppadoms/mixed salad/lime pickle to be included. Even tho it can still happen and to avoid it again just mention prices clearly. Not just give a total at the end when it comes paying. And lastly when one requests for a drink to be added, most are aware that it's not included but again one may think its included so every staff needs to clearly say "canned drinks are £1.65, water is only £1 and bottled drinks are £2.25, which one would you like please?" Or "which drink would you like?".... "That would be .... thank you." Admin: I don't need a response from yourself. All I need is to see a change and next time I come I shouldn't see the same dishonesty again. I will delete the review once I see all the branches have progressed and bettered their approach, especially the evington rd one. I will review my feedback again in a month or 2, if no difference is made I'll keep the review on and also write it for the other branches until its sorted. Thank you.

very tasty... and large portions or my belly cant eat too much lol.. food arrived hot.. highly recommend

Mango milkshake is nice and very helpful staff thank you

Very yummy even a small box was so filling

Really disappointed with my order. I asked for tikka mutton and received what looked and tasted like cold slices of sandwhich beef! Couldn’t eat it and had to throw it away after paying over £20 for a large box, so over priced!

This is our go to place every weekend without fail. Not only their food is spot on every time but their customer service. So so friendly. The kids absolutely love it. The taste is always the same but when I say this, it always taste like it's the best thing you have had every time you visit. What ever I say about this place does not justify how amazing it is. Always a pleasure being at Bombay bites

As always, brilliant service and amazing food. Always get great quality never disappointed

Not had Bombay Bites in a while. And boy I have been missing out. The Tikka Masala box was out of this world. So much flavour and the meat was tender. I'd personally would go for chips and naan combo. And green chillies and crispy onions is a must. New favourite of mine.

Consistent quality, delivered on time and always tasty!

cold food - rock hard naan bread

Shocking delivery no names on any of the cartons we all ended up eating each others food some ended up just eating toast. The most expensive toast ever.!! When calling to raise a concern no one could help no offered any appology… if any of us had allergies this would have been dangerous…

Not much taste in either of the dishes,

Too inconsistent manager or boss speaks to his staff in a poor tone. Food isn’t what used to be

Really tasty and delicious. hot and very filling. really enjoyed. would’ve preferred more vegetarian options on the bombay box as i had to pay £2 extra for the paneer

Delicious food and very welcoming staff. I'm surprised I've not heard of this place sooner, especially as the owners have won so many awards, and do a lot for the local community. My wife and I came for a quick snack, so couldn't really sample much, but we hope to come again. Definitely a good place for snacks, but I'd also recommend this place for a hearty meal.

Very nice food and clean pleasant atmosphere. Recommend a visit.

Food portions were worth the price you pay! Food was fresh and very tasty! Highly recommended.

Always great food from Bombay Bites 😋 been going here for years and food is always hot and so so tasty! If you need a taste of Bombay whether it be a snack, lunch or an evening meal, this place really hits the spot - and they're always quick to make up your meal ✅ If you haven't already, GO AND TRY IT! 😋😋

Kids box was way too small for the price charged - will have to make sandwiches for kids now Also stated free poppadoms and chutney with order over 30. Order was way over 30 and no extras given

Food was an hour late. Was told after 20 minutes it would be 15 minutes. Missing items when it arrived and was spilling out of the pots. Absolute joke, AVOID!!

Amazing service amazing workers especially the uncle who served me and my Mrs he was such a friendly and nice guy definitely going to go again and make sure I go with all of my family

I love this place,the flavours were and are still great but last night I technically paid for a box of chips ..minimal chicken and paneer (ive ordered before and this is not how it used to be) I kept digging and was genuinely shocked 😲 please check your portin sizes before you get home and are disappointed

With my order there was very little rice even though I ordered the large. Also I was charged £2 extra for it which doesn't make sense. The box itself was nice but too pricey for what it's worth. Also small cup for £5 is a bit steep too. Large with milkshake ended up costing £18.15

Very good service. Reliable and tasty!

Good food and great service. I had the balti chicken box with rice and naan. The gravies tasted great. The only change I would suggest would be to increase the gravy/rice ratio so we can have more of the great flavors in the gravy. Special thanks for offering a free cup of tea while we waited for the takeaway food!

Food over here guarantees to make your taste buds roll to the next level.

Amazing!! No other words. Very unique concept done perfectly. You have gained a loyal customer

Was delayed by an hour - was told by staff driver had left. App was not updated contacted restaurant and was advised driver had delivered food - no one had even attempted delivery. Ahmed at restaurant was helpful on third call to advise they were chasing with driver after escalation - driver turned with food cold and soggy will not be using just eat to order again. (have ordered via other apps and never had issues)

first time ordering.. i was surprised.. food was good and hot! loved the packaging a good round sturdy cardboard tub not like some places have the flimsy square tubs. I had a regular chicken tikka with chips and salad, I dread to think how big the Large is lol.. well i couldn't finish it (plenty leftovers for tomorrow).. had popadums for starters with mint, onions, mango.. had to leave some room for hot apple crumble and ice cream! yumm but again couldn't finish it lol. A bit pricey but value for money and nice as a treat to spoil yourself :)

Tiny portions for the price you pay

Driver was extremely rude and arrogant because he couldnt find my address because he told me he was using an out of date tom tom. Driver decided to start an argument OUTSIDE MY HOUSE in-front of my driveway cctv telling me what to do. He was convinced he had arrived at the right place (jennett close) when my address and postcode was already given on justeat app. He argued that the sat Nav directed him somewhere else. 10 mins later he arrived and started arguing over correct postcodes and locations. Food arrived slightly cold and was less enjoyable.

The owner makes you feel so welcome it’s unbelievable by far the Best takeaway I travel a hour and 30mins Ive never be disappointed guys you’ve tried the rest now try the best

Food was absolutely amazing, lovely people that run it very welcoming.

Bombay Bites is fantastic! The quality of the food is brilliant and it is fantastic value for money. If you're in Leicester it's a must!! It's great for both vegetarians and no-veg diets.

Always amazing food, can’t recommend them enough. Wish they would expand further! 😂

Not sure today. Food was underwhelming, chicken was overcooked on both boxes. Maybe a one off as usually good

Called the restaurant twice to be fibbed off saying nothing they can do

Scheduled for 5 but they don’t open till 6 had to wait around but luckily they did it at 5.30, still half an hour late

My good pal turned 33, and we decided to celebrate in style. COD day, 12-12. We get to 5pm, and the birthday boy gets this look in his eyes that gave me chills. He looked dead into my eyes and instantly knew… Bombay Bites. I don’t know where to start- these guys AIN’T playing. Naan, rice, succulent meat and delicious sauces. All four of us just said how incredible it was. Get a box- you won’t regret it. P.S happy birthday to my day one Fabio. We will be back baby. Open some more stores 🤞🏻

Really nice place very clean inside went in with my partner and kids tonight first time trying the food really great can’t fault it children loved it think we were served by Ahmed I think his name was very nice guy very friendly helpful and staff also very kind highly recommended very nice portion sizes just the right amount will be coming back in the future thank you guys I’m literally full loved my paneer and chips ❤️

Received totally wrong order with a different address then mine on the package by the time I saw the driver had gone

Regulars from London. Usually get the old number 7 (Chicken, mutton, chips/naan), consistently good quality. Top place

A place for hermanos to eat curry in a box. Great 'paneer' and decent value. Annoying loyalty card gets 1 stamp a visit - probably to reduce risk of diabetes from it's most obsessed guests.

I’ve been having Bombay bites (city centre) for over 13 years and it’s never disappointed me. This Evington Road branch customer service is brilliant, the food is amazing and full of flavour. My all time favourite box is the old #7, tandoori chicken, mutton, chips and all the sauces.

Had a takeaway last night, was great, however I think the naan bread and chips should be boxed separately.

Was charged £19.95 for a grill and 12 fish pakora. The box had only 5 pakoras and no extras ordered. Watch what you are getting!

Delicious food and excellent service thankyou we will be back

Extremely overpriced considering the tiny food portions I received. Taste-wise was OK, nothing to shout about.

We ordered a 5 meal order on the 4th of December and the delivery took 2.5 hours and 4 phone calls. On the last call my husband asked for a discount to compensate as it was then 10pm and the restaurant took his name and postcode and promised a free meal next time as compensation. Tonight we ordered two meals (and explained the last situation and were charged £17 for one meal and given the other free). Order arrived in good time and we let the delivery driver come in to watch the England penalty. When he left we realised one order was completely wrong (containing lamb and chips that were not requested). I called to inform them and they were rude but said they would deliver the correct order. Half an hour later a different driver turned up with a tiny box of food and when I asked where our actual order was he told me he wasn’t coming back, that’s all we are getting and was very rude on my door step. My husband called to complain and they were extremely rude and then hung up on him. We have them so many chances to right their mistakes but they do not care and we will not waste our time and money with such a bad service no matter what the food is like (mostly nice but bad chips and soggy nann) so disappointed and disgusted at the attitude

First time we've been definitely going back

Great food, served by a very smiley man who was helpful & made food suggestions on our preferences, not seen their curry box concept before so it’s something unique. Only point of improvement is that everything lacked salt, the vegetable somosa & onion bhajee were bland, other than that it was nice and I’ll be back.

The owner is great, helps you a lot, the place is clean. And the food must be very Indian because I feel sick in my stomach. Would like to try it again.

Gorgeous food would wish they would put that they changed the box numbers on deliveroo. Ended up not having my regular number 7 and having something sooo spicy as I didn’t realise they’d changed.

We tried two boxes from here and they were packed with flavour. The man who served as had the most amazing customer service! Slightly on the pricier side but worth it!

We visited Bombay Bites for a quick tea before heading back to our home town. I love their tea and so it tends to be our last stop on our journey home. The owner is so pleasant and caring and made our family feel so welcome- even gave snacks to the children to eat whilst we finished our tea. May his business prosper immensely as he really does deserve it! Thank you!

Good was amazing just allow extra time for your delivery

Very good food, piping hot still. Little expensive with delivery but worth it

Hasn't been here in a long time! Was pleasantly surprised that the food is still very good. It helps that you don't need to look at the menu, you can simply advise the gentleman of what you'd like, how hot and they'll get it right! That's customer service! I had a mix of chicken and lamb, with chips, it was saucy, i asked for it to be extra spicy, (which it was!) Can't go wrong! Highly recommended.

Very friendly, very respectful.
