Bombay Brasserie in Peterborough

Fantastic! Best place in Peterborough for a curry. Treated like royalty and the food is the best Indian I have ever had.

It's been a few years since I ate here but tonight was a family treat. First off I have a severe nut allergy and I mentioned to the gentleman who took our order and he managed to suggest a curry for me, our food was delicious and well presented and very tasty, service was fast and plates were cleared promptly, the staff made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Thank you 😊

Best lunchtime value menu in the area. Great staff, fantastic food and always a super experience.

The best place in Peterborough for Indian food.

On a very busy Saturday night we were kindly found a table without having booked. The staff were very helpfull and attentive. The food was excellent so much so, that as weekend visitors to Peterborough needing to eat out again on Sunday it was a no brainer to go back again. On both evenings the owner came to chat with us and made us feel very welcome.Excellent experience on both evenings.

Just tried the Sunday buffet at this place. Amazing. All freshly cooked and a large selection brought to your table. Staff were really pleasant also. Will definitely be back.

Been coming here for 20 years. Love the place. Steve and Grace

Very good curry, fixed deal excellent value for money. Great service. Old-fashioned decor, who needs flash, contemporary surroundings when the food does the talking. Would return again.

The service was sooo good & the food amazing as usual.

Picked up a takeaway today (Sunday). So delicious! Good value.

Fabulous food and super service! Onion bhajis to die for and sensational sauces - the pistachio korma is divine. Thanks to Mark and the team for making such a memorable evening.

A la carte menu exceptional value for money 👍

As a long standing customer I was delighted to revisit here and experience the improvements to their Sunday buffet whereby a selection of delightful main courses are served to the table instead of self service from a side table. Not only was food enjoyable and good quality but also good value for money. 😎💙🇬🇧👍

Fantastic food, been going for many years for takeaway and sit down meals and never had a bad experience.

Had the Sunday buffet lunch. The food was brilliant as was the service and atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful.

One of the best curry houses in Peterborough.

Amazing service and the best food I have ever tasted thank you for papadoms for Ryan

Not the usual layout for an Indian restaurant but it works...makes for a good atmosphere. Add in good food served by friendly helpful staff and you have a winner

Not sure how you would describe the layout but it generates a great atmosphere. Add to this helpful, friendly staff who bring you food that's tasty and well priced and you have a winner. We will return

Possibly the best restaurant in Peterborough for Indian food. The menu is unusual and the staff are friendly. There is nothing on the menu not worth tying. Prices are as expected for this quality of food. I was introduced to his place by friends and have never found better Indian food outside a few overpriced restaurants in London.

Came here for an event and the place is nice overall. Soon as you walk in on left is a bar has a nice array of drinks. Seating options to your left and right. Overall the food was tasty. Favorite from what we had was the palak gosht and cauliflower. The appetizers were good, just wasn't a fan of the egg rolls. The only complaint I have is the time it took for the food to be served and between appetizers and meal. Other than that I would definitely come back and try the place out again. I def saw what some of the previous reviews said about service. Some people were not as pleasant as others. The pakora were good. We enjoyed the event and food. Place was fairly busy for Sunday lunch hour.

Very attentive staff. Excellent traditional food. Good value.

8 friends including myself enjoyed a pretheatre dinner at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the service both excellent and cheerful. We had a really really happy supper and they made sure we were out in good time for ballet performance. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Celia Foulkes

Owner was very rude so I had to give one star for service All other staff were very kind and helpful I asked the owner when will the food be ready he said "we'll bring it out when it's ready." I asked him second time when will the food be ready can you give me a number of minutes he said " I'm not the chef I don't control when the food comes out." I included a photo of the man I'm talking about because I don't if he's manager or owner

Staff very unpleasant.. not very welcoming.. asked for a jug of coke and was told to wait untill my food arrives when we got our coke it was flat. Chips were under cooked.

Decided to try this restaurant I can honestly say I was not disappointed. Mark the waitresses cudnt do any more for us if he tryed very poilet and welcoming ,deffo visit again .

Always good food and fantastic service

The food was good once it was delivered two hours later after ordering. There was a significant delay compared to their timing per website. When I called in asking about the food i was initially told it was on its way (around 10 mins after expected time) half an hour later still waiting. I called again, the person asked the staff which i could hear and then it sounded like they were to make the food for the order. I was then told it will be with me soon. This was not the case it took an additional 25 minutes for it to be delivered. The food came a bit cold like it was under a warmer for a while.

Consistently good food and service has always been polite and professional. Even as a walk in later in the evening (due to finishing work late) the staff still accommodated us with a table. Always a must visit when travelling to Peterborough

Beyond compare - totally superb in every respect and highly recommend

Food was great once it finally arrived. Service was awful, took forever to get a menu and drinks and we waited far too long between courses. The waiter that took our food order made us feel that we were taking up too much of his time and was thoroughly miserable. It was a busy night and there were many diners, that was not our fault and it was abundantly clear that there were not enough staff at all. One waiter stood out from the rest by miles. His name is Mark and if it hadn't been for him I'd have asked for a reduction in the bill. It might pay the owner to take a look at what's on in Peterborough and maybe tailor his staffing accordingly. Frankie Boyle was on at the theatre opposite and the circus was in town. Very bad planning. We won't be returning in a hurry.

Once again a fantastic meal for the whole family the staff are always very friendly & helpful, atmosphere is great & lovely to see an independent restaurant

Food lovely, atmosphere good, service awful took far to long to be served, drinks and massive gaps between courses and expect for one gentleman called Mark who was very friendly the other staff had a lot to improve on, we felt we were an inconvenience.

Very yummy food, caters to dietary restrictions (vegetarian+more) well. The owner knew what are the ingredients in each dish which was too good. He gave us a good idea of quantity too. It was well worth the money. Can be enjoyed by Indians as well as Indian food lovers non-Indians too.

Food was hot and fresh, absolutely delicious dishes. The lamb was absolutely stunning and super tender. Delivery was really quick also.

Lovely food, relaxed environment to have a lovely meal in.

Great service, friendly waiter, accommodating 20 of us including 2 babies. Excellent service and great food. Highly recommended 👍

Excellent meal with 2 friends visiting from Berkshire. Chicken Bhuna, Chicken jalfrezi, and Chicken tikka massala all delicious . Poppadoms, and Bombay aloo, also Pilau rice all really nice for the lunchtime deal. Would recommend a visit for lunch or Sunday buffet, both great value. With thanks to Ronnie, and all his staff.

Superb quality and very reasonable pricing!😊👍

Great evening with friends 🧡 Staff very good. Food delicious 😋

Had my doubts when you see salt and pepper shakers on the table. But the food was really good, I will visit again.

Found The Bombay Brasserie on Google Maps as looking for a meal on a through journey, and we weren't disappointed. The menu was varied, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service never fails to please.

Food ok nothing special service bit slow when walking in and waiting until floor manager sorted staff then a faster service

Awful. Came here a few years ago and had an awful experience, thought we’d give it one more try, nothing has changed since then. Table was booked for 5 people at 7:30pm, 3 people arrived at 7:30pm and we arrived 10 minutes later due to parking. We weren’t sat down until 8:05pm. Got drinks and about 15 minutes later we asked someone to take our food order as no one was bothering, so someone took just our starters for some reason. Another 15 minutes go by and we ask the manager to take our order yet again because no one was bothering. We explained to him that we have already been here an hour and not even our order has been taken, he then replies with, the reason is because you were late for your booking, that he could not seat the 3 people that arrived first until the rest of the party arrived. WHY?????? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. So with the manager standing there arguing with us why our food order hasn’t even been taken we decided to ignore the rest of what he was blabbering on about and leave the restaurant, went to gurka dubaar instead and it was sooooo much better. Service was excellent and food bang on, go there instead.

Can't fault this restaurant. Just lovely.

Great place friendly staff good service and tasty food 👌 definitely a family and friends place for lunch and dinner or just for drink ☺️

Splendid food from a well curated lunch menu, staff and ambiance were excellent. Definitely recommend.

Sunday buffet, excellent value and delicious food

The food is always fantastic, went there today with a friend for lunch.

Post Business dinner. Location was convenient on the high street. Food was reasonable and service was friendly and attentive.

Recommended by our Red Car driver in Canada so so good…

Excellent service, food and value!!

Really poor experience, we arrived in plenty of time (early) with a near empty restaurant, order taken but then had to wait 1.45hr for the food, when we asked why the wait, we were told abruptly, you have to wait as you are in the queue!.. yet, every minute there were take-aways flying out of the shop, they should look after customers that have booked a table, it seems simply a money grab, they only want you to keep buying drinks, yet the service and attitude when challenged was awful, food average, and by this time we just wanted to leave. far better options around than this place, disappointing.

Delicious food and friendly service. Couldn't recommend more!

Without exception, the worst takeaway meal I have ever bought. Bone-dry leathery half-cooked naans, peas like bullets, sauces well inferior to ASDAs, tough greasy mutton. The food was an embarrassment to serve. It was an insult. This restaurant needs to get its act together or close.

Always brilliant. My favourite place for a curry anywhere. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Absolutely love the place

Amazing food was lovely 🥰 would really recommend this place 100%

We went there for our work do. For the amount we paid, it was quite decent. They do special on Sundays. For £14.50 per person, you can eat as much as you like. Our starters consisted of chicken pieces, onion baji, and Poppodom with four different dip options. The main course consisted of five to six different dishes presented in small stainless steel bowls. Naan bread and rice were served.

Worst experience ruined our plan.

Very consistent always 1st class.

The owner was super rude. We booked a table for 1pm today. Two of us could not come because of the rain. The owner created a scene for some reason when we were only 6 people instead of 8. He didn't give us a table and made us wait. When one of us complained about it, he rudely said "We will not serve you". We still gave him another chance, spoke with him to try and understand what the actual issue was. He gave us some explanation, but at the end again rudely said that he won't serve us.

Conservative club get together. Good company; good food; good value. What more do you need?

Fantastic! Great food, lovely staff, great value.

Superb as always,haven't been for quite a while but never dissappoints.

Brilliant definitely a top recommendation for best Indian in Peterborough

Very disappointing meal, had the Sunday buffet and waiting for a long time and when it did arrive then no where near enough for 6 people in our group, 6 people and 4 pieces of naan bread arrive ! Lamb dish far too salty but others were ok, overall disappointed in the restaurant

Have lived in Peterborough now for 15 years and been coming here pretty much ever since. The food is delicious, authentic Indian cuisine and the service is friendly and welcoming every time we visit - be sure to check out the set menu of an evening which has a really good range and offers exceptional value for money! 100% recommended & no doubt we'll be back again very soon 😊👍

We visited the Indian restaurant in Peterborough on a Sunday afternoon. They had a buffet only on Sunday at lunch time. And it was fabulous. They offer a big round table for us (8 people) and serve all the foods on the table. The main course was unlimited, but it was so huge we didn't ask to serve another round of food. It was very good in taste and the environment was also very good.

Great place for a wonderful curry in Peterborough

The food was immaculate and staff were so kind! Lamb with Spinach and chilli was the best Elina (age 11)

Tasty food of consistent high quality, thank you Rony and staff, keep up the good work, excellent value buffet

Love it here friendly staff great food not expensive and great value for money 😋😋 cannot fault it

Excellent service. We went twice in 4 days . Both times food good and hot - good service . Friendly waiters . Naan breads were excellent . Reasonable prices. .

Arrived in Peterborough after a 3hr drive. The team happily invited me in at 10.30pm which was very welcome! Everything was delicious and the staff were spot on. Can’t recommend enough.

What was once Peterborough's "go to" Asian restaurant has over the years become so very hit and miss. Sometimes it has been amazing and sometimes it has been awful. This was one of those awful occasions where when family invite you, expecting a special evening with outstanding food and service, "disappointed beyond belief" lands on your table and you vow to move on. Bland, grey, outrageously salty food was there in spadefuls. I've read the last 12 months of reviews and they are pretty mixed. Consistency is so important to a restaurant's reputation that you expect the same quality and service every time you visit which commensurately gives you the confidence to recommend the venue. Way back in 2004 to the sound of drums, it lead the way and long before that when it was on the other side of the road. Sorry Rony, the old times were amazing but it's time for our family to move on.

The finest Indian food in Peterborough by far! Superb service, exquisite food and wonderful atmosphere. The owner Ronnie is usually on hand overseeing everything and greeting and chatting with guests. We visit far too often!

Went for the main dishes - Chicken Karahi, Lamb Dopiaza, Aloo la Salan, garlic naan and Paneer tikka shashlik for starter. It was really delicious and flavourful I highly recommend the lamb which was soft and the naan was really fluffy. Everything felt really authentic and I would definitely be going back again to try the buffet style on Sunday!

Best place to eat in Peterborough.

This is my second visit with my family,2 weeks ago we went for buffet Sunday lunch, we were treated well accept there was delay in serving our food which was reasonable okay we ate very well enjoyed the food. Yesterday 11th June Sunday we suddenly decided to have lunch outside I called the restaurant if we can come they said no problem for 3 members we can serve, table was allocated for my family starters were served when asked for 1 more non veg starter which is the best part of the meal they told us we don’t serve extra starters I was surprised I said I came 2 weeks ago there was no problem the waiter said then you were very lucky usually we don’t give customers extra starters ( 2 weeks ago when I called to book a buffet lunch and when asked how does the buffet lunch work while serving the person on the table, the person who spoke to me said it’s all unlimited what even you want you can ask for more it’s just because after covid we have stated this concept I said that sounds great) Anyways i didn’t wish you argue about the starters, the main course was served and while eating my husband asked for something extra bread immediately the owner (Rony I assume he’s the owner LOL not fix to be one) came and said waited what are they asking for? he run towards our table and said if you want something you need to ask me. He then informed the server to get us that extra bread that we asked for, again he walked to our table and said very rudely YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING YOUR OWN DRINKING WATER INTO THIS RESTAURANT again I was surprised I looked at him and said it’s just home water there’s nothing wrong he walked away, after paying our money to eat they treated us like prisoners. I wish I can complain about this restaurant to the social media. His behaved was very bad which I would never expect from a restaurant owner to do such things, very shameful behaviour I think zero customer service at this place.

Great lunchtime option, with a £10 meal offer consisting of starter, main, side, and rice or bread. Very tasty, and great value

Visited here on a short business trip. I can honestly say the food that I had was amazing. The food here exposed the rubbish I get in Worcester. The Lamb Shashlik was full of flavour. You could actually taste the individual spices, so to with the Chana Masalla. Staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend and would revisit the next time I’m working in Peterborough.

It was alrite, nothing special.

Lovely food, great price and service.

As we were going to the theatre diagonally opposite the restaurant for an evening performance at 7.30, a friend contacted the restaurant to make a reservation. She enquired what time they suggested booking the table for and following their recommendation a table was booked for 5.30 Upon arriving at the restaurant we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. Once sat down we asked about the set menu as we had had it in a previous visit there. The waiter then duly went away and returned with the 'pre-theatre, early evening' set menus which included one poppadom, pickles, starter, main, side, rice, naan, tea/coffee and mints all for a very reasonable £19.95 Another waiter then came over to take our orders and said 'hurry up and order as you are going to the theatre'. As we had only just been given the menus we asked for a few minutes to make our decisions. The orders were taken. Our starters did not arrive until 6.20 and the mains were not then brought out until 7.00 Unfortunately we were missing one of our side orders, which we informed the waiter of and also requested a jug of water. At no point throughout the meal did anyone come over and ask if the meal was OK, bring our missing item or take another drinks order. From 7.00 a large crowd of customers entered the restaurant and were stood by the bar and entrance area. All were served drinks. At 7.20 one of our party got up and asked a waiter for the bill. We were asked to make our way to the till to pay as they were very busy. We asked at the till for our bill as we were in a hurry as the show started at 7.30, only to be told by the waiter - 'you've got 10 minutes yet!' We explained the service had been dreadful and non-existent, that we hadn't had part of our order, no drinks order and no tea and coffee, to which the manager responded that we don't get tea and coffee with that set menu. Why is it printed on the menu then as being included? It was so loud with the customers awaiting to be seated that we were all virtually shouting. We refused to pay the full price of the bill due to the extremely poor service and the manager promptly said, 'if you don't like the service, don't come back then'. The food when it came was very nice, but the noise, atmosphere and shoddy customer service means we will not be returning which is a shame as we've eaten there on various occasions previously. So I would suggest if you're ever thinking of going here before a theatre show in the future, you think again and go somewhere else. They clearly over book and can't cope with large numbers.

Great good and service, so accommodating when we needed to hurry for the theatre. A really great meal 👍

Don't live in peterborough had been to theatre and called in after show for food and I have to say the food and the service was excellent 👌. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome 🙂

This was our 1st going with friends. We enjoyed the experience very much. Hopefully will go ago

In three words very very good!! Starter. Maincourse dessert All perfecto The different taste on all the dishes was amazing This is a 5 star worth

Went today for retirement party 5 STARS THE FOOD WAS 1ST CLASS STAFF 1ST CLASS £10 A HEAD SUCH GOOD VALUE

Got to say that was the best meal I’ve had in ages, well worth a visit, the food was that good I forgot to take photos of it 😀

If you're missing authentic and flavourful Indian cuisine, it is definitely the place to be! We enjoyed the food there and will definitely be back soon!

Great food. Freshly prepared and authentic. Great service. Friendly and honest. Great atmosphere. Quiet and simple.

If you are looking for an Indian meal in Peterborough then I’d highly recommend this restaurant. Just a short walk from the city centre you’ll find it is spacious, friendly and a very comfortable restaurant that serves an amazing choice of Indian cuisine. The staff are extremely attentive and are happy to pass on requests to the kitchen if you need anything special.

Went for the Sunday buffet with friends...the food was excellent with a good choice...very good value for money

Not interested in any body going on their own. We're about to close? What with half the restaurant full, couldn't be bothered. I cannot tell you how bad or good the service was as I didn't get the chance to find out. Shocking behaviour

Went for Sunday Buffet, very good service, didn’t have to wait too long for either food or drink. Food was good, small portions but you can have more if you wish. We will be returning in a few weeks with family.

I have visited this restaurant many times over the years and never been disappointed. However, today we thought we would try out the buffet. First of all, the website advertises this as an ‘all you can eat hot buffet’ - there was nothing of the kind. You do not get the choice of what food you are given and it was bought out to the table which is fine but the portions were minuscule. I advised the waiter I was vegetarian and he bought out the main - 6 tiny dishes to share, 2 of which were vegetarian and the rest were meat so We could not try much of the dishes at all as they were all to share for the whole table there was not much to go round. Having been here before a few years ago when there was an actual all you can eat buffet, this was ridiculous. The service was terrible and slow, we were waiting around for over 2 hours so we had to cut the ‘buffet’ menu short and leave as the parking was up by then.

Visited for the Sunday buffet for mothers day. Upon being seated drinks orders were taken and it was confirmed that we’d be having the Sunday buffet. For first time visitors it seemed a bit peculiar that it was not explained what the buffet would entail. It was not even mentioned what was on the menu nor is it advertised online. We confirmed dietary preferences and were given our drinks and poppadoms with various accompanying condiments. The waters were still merky on what the buffet would entail and we waited around 20-30 minutes for our starters. At last they arrived, no issues with the starters - great taste, fair portion size. Plates were then cleared 20 minutes after this, drinks were empty so you’d assume it was a good opportunity for the upsell. It didn’t come, after attempting to get a staff members attention for another refreshment we admitted defeat. Mains arrived 40 mins after 7 small dishes, 5 meat based curry’s and 2 vegetarian. It seemed strange that there wasn’t a 50/50 spilt of meat based to veg based curries. This left one of us very hungry when it came to having two portions followed by half a naan and a less than generous portion of rice. The meat based curries were accompanied by an abundance of grease floating on the top, not appeasing to the eye at all. Taste certainly did not compensate for small portion sizes. Once again no drinks were offered upon the table being cleared. Plates sat there for around 20-30 minutes. After they were cleared we waited a further 15 minutes and no staff were coming over. After spending over 2 hours there and experiencing abysmal service we were asked for feedback. We shared our qualms which were immediately dismissed. To finish the owner didn’t seem to really ask for feedback when we were paying the bill. Seemed very abrupt and seemed like they just wanted people in and out - which would make sense if he aimed to turn tables within the hour, not over two. Overall below par and wouldn’t rush back in a hurry.

Simply the best Indian restaurant we have ever been to. Excellent food and excellent service
