Bombay Bustle in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped here for lunch and was blown away by the food. Great value and really delicious. Need to come back to try more dosa! The service was also very attentive and quick.

Bombay Bustle in Mayfair is a gem of a traditional Indian restaurant that completely blew me away. I visited with friends for a three-course meal, and every single dish was a hit! The curry I ordered was bursting with flavor, so much so that I even asked to make it spicier—much to the server’s pleasant surprise. The spice level was perfect, and I was in foodie heaven. The service was top-notch; we were more than well looked after, with attentive staff who made sure our experience was seamless from start to finish. The cocktails were delicious and perfectly complemented the meal, but the real stars were the desserts—absolute perfection! I’m already counting down the days until I can go back for round two. If you’re in London and craving authentic Indian cuisine with a side of excellent service, Bombay Bustle is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Was there last weekend for a reunion party with my PhD supervisor and his family. The food is very delicate and delicious. The atmosphere is perfect for family gatherings and small group meetings. We were sitting in the basement floor and the decor is beautiful and elegant. Perhaps might be better to have a slightly brighter light as I couldn’t see very well the food being served as it is rather dark. It’s pretty good for a night out and the price is not bad for a classy restaurant in Mayfair. The food is nice but not as in amazingly wonderful. But their cocktails are fabulous! Especially the incognito! Still recommend.

Nice food. But service and ambiance was below average . Took too much time at every stage . Food was good in terms of taste

Excellent. Great service. Pleasant vibe. Indian lightly spiced omelette with truffles was superb!

Delicious and hearty dishes in a cozy atmosphere with electro music in the background. Great experience! I advise asking for the spice level in the desired dish ;)

Great food, a bit pricey for the portion sizes on some dishes. (breads especially) Raj Kachoori was fantastic but the chickpeas could have been cooked more. Best tandoori I have had hands down and the curries are delicious!

Food was mediocre. Cockroach crawled across my companion's blouse and when handed to the waiter (in a napkin), reaction was surprising unsurprised. No follow up from management despite a note on OpenTable sent. Would not recommend.

Lovely place. My go to place in may fair to be honest. I feel at home here. They are consistent, tasty and a comfortable atmosphere.

The food is testy and good but the one of lady is there she is maybe manager because she is on reception desk she don’t know about how to talk with customer she is very rudly and don’t care about customer

extremely rude table manager, service is slow, manager had no respect for customers.

Pathetic manager indian india se bahar aagey par apni aukad bhul Gaye never seen such a rude behavior never ever go here if u r a true Indian especially the manger can't abuse because v r Indians and have some values

We visited with family and requested a table, the Table manager was so rude and unwelcoming. He treated us unprofessionally, rolled his eyes and gave us a table. No service was given to us for 25 min and later after asking he screamed saying to his staff member” No service to be given to us.” Really poor behaviour and service. Will never recommend this restaurant.

A delight amongst the Indian restaurants in London. It's a culinary journey across India from the North, Central and South India.

This place is hidden gems in Mayfair, delicious food , very comfortable atmosphere, and hygiene facility

Uchi dukaan phika pakwaan. Please avoid this restaurant. The tangra chilly chicken was mild not at all spicy, chicken was overcooked and tasted like rubber super hard. Garlic butter shrimp was served over malabar paratha(God knows why ???) and which was floating in butter. Podi was not at all spicy mostly some desiccated coconut. I gave feedback to my server but no acknowledgement by manager or chef. This is one of bad foods i had in london. Please avoid !!!

Very good food 👩‍🍳 Innovative too Chats decent Trio of Dosa too good Excellent service by Rajesh Thanks The Podi Dosa which is like a roti option Is one of the best Dosa in london They make it the best and are very nice to accommodate by guging Aloo Masala too

The food is excellent though pricey! Loved the raj kachori and the paneer butter masala.

Overpriced and lousy service, which they probably know since they include tips in the price. I ended up tipping £20 because it was included. They deserved nothing.

It was the worst experience , we went for birthday celebration which was the worst decision. After mentioning everything on message before booking nothing they did and when I asked to speak to manager , manager didn’t come and then requested again he comes in attitude and was so rude ( Balaji ) that’s what we told his name is. We don’t cone for such rudeness .. way too dissapointed . He kept Arguing with us .

We went for birthday celebrations and asked for anything they do for birthdays - we get really rude reply and the manager Bala ji was super rude and no manners to even speak . I’m way too disappointed and the starts were really bad too.

Really nice atmosphere. Decorate to look like the inside of a train carriage. Food was lovely. Very rich and flavoursome. We went around 5pm so was not that busy at the time. Definitely recommend a visit here.

Set on a quiet lane off Regents Street, Bombay Bustle offers authentic Indian taste. I cannot fault the taste nor service however would have loved to see a slightly bigger portion size.

Amazing restaurant , authentic Indian cuisine with chef’s from north and south loved it

Quite an underwhelming experience. Overpriced. Average food. You gotta up the game guys, massively.

Very good Indian food, good service and good drinks

Bombay Bustle stands out as a vibrant ode to Mumbai's lively spirit. The interior is a homage to luxurious Indian train travel – with pops of color and polished brass fittings that evoke both Bollywood glamour and a sense of adventure. Despite the late weekday lunch hour, the welcome was warm, the service smooth, and the restaurant blissfully quiet. My famished self dove straight into the menu. I started with the samosa papdi chaat – crispy samosas doused in thin chickpea noodle and a tangy mint chutney. A perfect example of elevated street food. The rarah keema pao was the bustling street food scene in a dish. Spoonfuls of lamb mince chunks and the accompanying soft buns were the ideal delivery system to soak it all up. The onion salad provided a welcome contrast – a refreshing crunch to balance the richness of the lamb. Next, the chicken tikka makhani, a world away from your average butter chicken. A classic done exceptionally well. The chicken sporting a beautiful char had obviously spent some quality time in the tandoor, imbuing it with a smoky depth of flavor nestled in a rich, buttery sauce. A comforting yet nuanced delight. On to the dabba dal, an overnight-cooked black lentil dish that was pure soulful goodness. It was the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out, begging to be scooped up with fluffy naan (which, of course, was ordered – and promptly devoured). No Indian meal is complete without some bread, and the garlic naan and butter naan here were like the reliable train conductors of this culinary journey. The garlic naan was fragrant and garlicky, with perfectly blistered edges and the butter naan was slathered in creamy butter and a study in comforting simplicity. The décor adds an extra layer of charm, transporting you straight to the heart of an upscale train carriage reimagined for the modern foodie. If you find yourself in Mayfair skip the overpriced posh nosh and board the Bombay Bustle as you wouldn't want to miss this delicious train to culinary delight.

Raj Kachori and kheema pav are must haves!

Food was good but £1.5 for extra onions are you nuts. service could definitely be better and portion size too.

Probably the best Indian Restaurant I have been to ever.

Bombay Bustle, located on Maddox Street in the heart of Mayfair, has been delighting guests since its opening in 2017. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Dabbawalas of Mumbai, this restaurant successfully recreates regional and family recipes, capturing the essence of Mumbai's rich culinary heritage. The restaurant's ambiance is enhanced by the Retiring Room, a glamorous space on the lower level that boasts its own dedicated bar. This section of the restaurant is perfect for larger groups who wish to indulge in luxury while spending quality time together. During our visit, we had a truly wonderful experience at Bombay Bustle. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of our friends while savoring the authentic Indian cuisine on offer. Even our Indian friends, who were initially skeptical about dining here, were pleasantly surprised. One of them, who happened to be quite particular about her Indian food, couldn't help but compliment the restaurant at the end of our meal. Overall, Bombay Bustle exceeded our expectations. The flavors and presentation of the dishes were spot-on, showcasing the skillful execution of traditional Indian recipes. The restaurant's commitment to delivering an authentic dining experience shines through in every aspect, from the warm hospitality to the exquisite flavors that transport you to the streets of Mumbai.

Food was absolutely 10 on 10 but i think seating arrangement are not so good.

Was a date night and what could be better than mouth watering Indian food on the platter!! I am an indian food lover, and absolute die heart fan of well blended flavors! Must say Bombay Bustle got the game right (or should i say the recipies right? 😉) No doubt of this place being a michellin star!

Overhyped, average food quality.

Amazing ambience, good food and good service. Book a table in advance since it is very popular restaurant

Decent restaurant with average food and drinks. Very pricey but thats expected in Mayfair. Had a birthday lunch booked - no efforts from the restaurant to make it any special. We had brought a celebratory cake with us - to our surprise (read shock) we were told there is a charge of £12 per person if we were to cut the cake. In summary, nothing special about Bombay Bustle for the price you will end up paying.

Experience the lunch express menu , 3 course veg menu 34 pound , starter , grill and main all were delicious and service was quick and excellent...loved the lunch, only wine add option on with experience menu was missing ...

À most do in London. You est here like you really travelled to India! A bit expensive but worth it for the cuisine the quality and the taste !

Good food. The let down was the slightly slow service. We were in a hurry and this was a business meal, so felt like we had to constantly chase down the waiters. They were probably trying to be respectful but I think need to appreciate some tables have a faster cadence than others. Also felt we were misguided on portions which are tiny, so needed to probably order more than we had on the table.

Gorgeous, awesome, fab cocktails, huge portions and nice service! Wow, what else could I ask? Oops, did I mention the wine list? We all know what top-end Indian looks and tastes like, but I didn't know they had it here. Thank you. Bustle indeed.

Delicious food and terrific service. Will be back for sure

UPDATE: Have changed my opinion on this restaurant. Must have hired some new staff and the woman on the phone recently was extremely rude. Do us a favour and if you hire British Asians, please teach them Indian culture before putting them infront of customers. Otherwise, one ill suited and ignorant bad staff member makes this another good restaurant not palatable anymore. OLD REVIEW: I have been meaning to review Bombay Bustle for a while now. Right off the bat, I love the quality and variety of their food. The staff have always been lovely whenever I have visited, they greet me with a smile and make me feel so welcome. Most importantly for me, when I have visited with family, they have made everyone in the party feel welcome too. In comparison to some other supremely snooty restaurants in the same area who have picky child dining policies and exorbitant minimum spends per person, Bombay Bustle stays true to its Indian roots in culture, in the way they welcome guests and customers in a beautiful way and serving food that is wonderfully authentic and tasty. It is my go to comfort place and I hope the management ensures to continue to delight people like me as you do now!

The decor and ambience were excellent, the food was good as well, however the service could be better.

Must try Samosa Chat, Butter Garlic Prawns and Paneer Starters

Delicious Indian restaurant, but expensive

As an Indian food connoisseur, I can say the food was okay, nothing special. To summarise excessively over priced dishes that wants to yell Michelin star food, but in reality basic Indian dishes, some street food dishes, all basic no frills no fireworks to tantalise the taste buds. Decor was basic and the dishes were served in cutlery and crockery that were stainless steel, almost seemed it was from a famous Swedish flat pack retailer! Left feeling disappointed.

Great selection of food. We tried the early dinner menu, absolutely loved the starters but the main course was okayish within the early dinner menu options. Good cocktails, a bit too pricey though. I would go back for the yummy starter selection. Certainly recommend going with friends and sharing lots of dishes.

We had ordered their dal makhni, dosa, samosa chaat with rice on the side. Everything tasted well but the rice was very raw, i obviously pointed that out while paying as a genuine feedback only to hear back “everybody had the same rice and had no complaints”. This is so rude of them to not accept that what we had to say could be true and that they can do better! We weren’t expecting anything in return from them but they could’ve taken the feedback in a better manner!

Good service. We went on a Sunday and the place was relatively quiet. Service was excellent and the staff was helpful. Authentic Indian taste. Taste was a little underwhelming. Will slightly prefer Colonel Saab which has recently opened when it comes to taste. I have been to Bombay Bustle before. May be on this visit they were not up to scratch. Definitely worth a try if you want a high end dinner with Indian menu.

Fab birthday meal for our son. The food, ambience, service and staff were all amazing.

I was a little apprehensive on visiting Bombay Bustle after reading about poor service and small position sizes. I have to disagree with both of these findings the restaurant was busy upstairs and downstairs and the service was what was expected in my view of an Indian restaurant at this price range. The food was very good and having eat at Jamavar in Bangalore (India) on a number of occasions and in London. I would personally would say the food & service here is much better than Jamavar, London and in a nicer setting. The food is pricey by £3-4 per dish over other Indian restaurants in the local area and personally it wasn’t any better than other restaurants you could have saved approx £20-30 over all the dishes for a table of 4 somewhere else. Drinks were London restaurant prices. Desserts were OTT starting at £10 and they should have been round the £7/8 mark again similar to the mains adding a couple of pounds here and they did add up overall. The positions sizes were good and didn’t have any complaints from our table. 15% service - again this added £50 to our bill which we felt a little cheeky with the above. Other Michelin stared Indian restaurants charge this and this restaurants as far as I’m aware have no stars, so really should have been 10-12.5% max. Overall it was a good meal, good service for the four of us, but do expect the bill to be north of £300.

Lovely resturant starters samosa chart and chilli chicken nice but not special. Was starving by the time we ate so grateful that everything was tasty and hot. Then opted for a selection of dishes Bangan burtha was ok , Chicken biriyani was tasty and big pieces of perfectly cooked chicken . Lovely yougurt raitha Yellow daal tasty and well spiced Chicken tikka nice sauce but a meagre amount of chicken for thx price. We didn’t drink as had wine before coming and driving back so just water. Bill was £145 including service . Service was attentive and friendly and upstairs reasturant was busy the whole evening . Worth a try if you are around London ,Oxford street .

Exceedingly overpriced, NOISY, NOISY, NOISY restaurant that my ear buds and loud jazz couldn't block out. The lambchop appetizer was excellent but the $40 plate of lamb curry containing 6 or 7 small chunks of meat was mediocre at best. Add $10 for two small servings of room temperature, steamed rice. Service was prompt but joyless possibly because from two feet away it was impossible to be heard over the noise. Did I say it was noisy. Better Indian food is available in London for half the price and without the NOISE.

Fairly average restaurant, somewhat over-priced. Food was not particularly good (or fresh). Looks nice inside though.

Overall experience: Good, not great. Food: We ordered Tandoori Platter, Junglee Maas and Chicken Biriyani. Overall flavours are good but generally the quality of meats used was somewhat underwhelming. Lamb was chewy and fish seemed to have freezer burns. Service: Can be more attentive. Generally a bit downbeat and sort of hiding in corners and chatting with each other.

A great place to eat.Quiet location. Staff are friendly. Food is sumptuous. Definitely recommend

Excellent good, atmosphere and service. Would recommend

Who gave them Michelin rating have no clue. Not good. Go eat somewhere else don’t waste time here Poor drinks and poor food. It’s not even expensive food. Just really poor

Food was pretty good. I started off by ordering a drink, the winter sour. Not sure what I was expecting, something closer to a whisky sour but this has no sour whatsoever. It honestly wasn't my cup of tea. I then ordered Madras Chicken Curry, garlic naan and rice. It came out quickly and was eaten rather quickly because it was delicious. I chicken was tender and the curry was flavor. The naan was cooked perfectly and paired well with the curry sauce. I usually don't get dessert but I decided to try the recommended banana caramel chocolate pie. It was amazing. I wasn't able to eat it all, unfortunately I was by myself but it's something easy to share! 😍 As far as the service, it was alright. It was long wait times for him to get to me and it wasn't too busy. My water was empty majority of the time which was my biggest reason for the service. I even had the empty drink and he never asked if I wanted another, or more water. Then, I asked for the bill and I found it interesting that they automatically add a "discretionary charge of 15% " on top of the vat 20%. When I asked what it was, the waiter said oh, if you enjoyed the restaurant, you can pay it but if you didn't it's optional. When I asked if it was like a tip, he said oh no no, it's to the restaurant so I opted out. Tip isn't a thing here so I was confused. I didn't like that at all. So when you do come, ask for the bill before you hand over your card and remove the "discretionary charge" . That's absurd.

Food was ok. Nothing to brag about. Service was dismal. Ordered gin and tonic. Didn’t ask me which gun I wanted. Gave me most expensive one. Don’t think I will bother again

A very tasty and delectable food menu. We found an Indian restaurant with food that really tastes Indian, after a very long time. A bit pricey, but definitely justifies a special occasion. Jalebi cheesecake is yum. This was the best highlight of our dinner there.

Best indian food in town. The butter chicken, king prawns and biryani is my most favourite dishes. The service is great although the front host never remembers anyone which is not the best approach in a restaurant of this level. I would definitely recommend to work on that, the rest is great.

Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt hier nicht. Das Essen ist in Ordnung, aber für diese durchschnittliche Qualität ist es zu teuer. Es ist sehr eng: die Tische stehen fast aneinander. Das Ambiente ist nicht ansprechend. Der Service ist freundlich und schnell.

Booked a table of 7 and got in a little late tried ordering popadoms and onion salad but received mini pops an prawn crackers from a packet, no onion salad or onion bahges Tried to serve our main course with our starters Food was good but poor service an a lack of basics that make Indian food so special Would we return er No

Good - location, no. of staff, behaviour of staff Average - Food taste, atmosphere Bad - Mocktails were horrible, damn expensive I won't recommend unless you have at least £100 per head as a budget.

After my disappointing visit in the summer, it is pleasing to pen a more positive report this visit despite the eye watering price creep resulting in a bill over £240 for 2. The Rarah Keema with Pao bun (£19.00) was deeply satisfying. A rich and spicy fine mince with squeezed lime and fresh baked bun for the senses to enjoy. Butter garlic prawns (£18.00) were well presented but not special. However, the three Achari lamb chops (£44.00) were splendid. Marinated well in yoghurt and curry, these thick chops were so tender and flavourful that the price was merited. Chilgoza Maia Broccoli (£16.00) was undercooked and frankly inedible - stick to red meat like the Malabar lamb curry (£31.00) that followed with wonderfully hot and fresh Butter Naan (£5.00). Surprised to find the "discretionary" service charge levied at 15% making the overall total for 2 persons a whopping £241.50

We ordered dabba dal, paneer butter masala, chilli chicken and breads. The dal and chicken were strictly average in taste and the paneer was disappointing as it lacked flavour. All breads were very well made. It’s close to regent street so price is on the very high end. Ambience was also average, nothing much to talk about. Staff were attentive. It’s fine for a one time visit.

Cricket Star Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma visited here. Very good Indian cuisine dishes. Definitely try.

Fantastisk, autentisk mad med god betjening og dejlig atmosfære. I den dyre ende, men alle pengene værd.

In a city of London - a city which is treating every individual as same and with no economic status/level difference, in this restaurant, if you can afford to go, still they will make you feel that you are there in their restaurant to have a free meal!!! The first & second line command of restaurant was meeting everyone table to table for their feedback but what went wrong with us that these both the lines of commands avoided asking our feedback when our food requirement was some specific i.e. Vegetarian. A totally partial experience although they offered a table without our so called prior booking with a great timeline to complete our dinner in just 60 minutes!! First, they wanted 3 of us to occupy the table which was meant for a group of 10 to 12 people and they wanted us – all Vegetarians to seat with them but on our request, they did allot us a separate table of four as we wanted to have pure vegetarian food as well as Jain food. Mr. Jit, a second line command in the restaurant, did allotted us the table with a very very heavy face & with the condition of finishing our dinner in just 60 minutes was not even showing a courtesy of smiling as if we were there for a free meal and they have to allot us a table!!! Just one guy to appreciate here was one Pakistani (non-Indian) server who respected us and served us with much more appreciation. Food was also good but the totally partial environment & ill treatment took away joy of having delicious food miles away from home as they can make you feel that you are all wrong guys at the right place!! We sincerely felt and strongly recommend any Indian from India visiting London wanted to have an Indian food should prioritize their visit to any other equivalent place as there might be chance that you may be illtreated like we're & shown your economic status if you are not a celebrity or even a big person from London itself who are big in London whose economic status is known to this restaurant‘s staff. Even when you can afford to visit London and afford to go to this restaurant, the restaurant staff – especially higher lines of staff will make you feel that you are visiting their restaurant for a free meal!!! We got surprise when we came to know that this restaurant and possibly few other restaurants in London e.g. Jamawar in London's prime Mayfair area have some connection with or owned by Leela Hotel Group of India - The Leela Group of Hotels of India!! We're not expecting such ill treatment!!

A terribly disappointing dining experience at a huge cost. I cannot believe we paid £20 for a chicken dish that came with 3-4 teeny tiny pieces of chicken. A complete rip off! Stingy portion sizes. We left the restaurant hungry having spent £200.

Excellent food, with very good service.

A fantastic treat! Incredibly delicious combinations of traditional and very modern recipes. Can't wait to go back.

The expectation- a high quality dining experience with unique flavours. The reality- pretty standard Indian fair that I could get in Southall with more flavour and at a fraction of the price. The service was also high street level. This has the feel of a previously great restaurant that has lost its way. £100 a head- I went home and had a bowl of Weetabix!

As you walk into Bombay Bustle, you can appreciate the unique interiors of the restaurant which make it feel like you are seated on a train. My order comprised of broccoli malai chaat and chili paneer both of which were priced very high for the quantity that was served. Both of these dishes failed to impress heavily for the price that was paid for. The flavor profile of the dishes seemed to be designed more for the non-indian palate and were very bland.

Great starters and mains but quite small portions for the price. Dessert was Kulfi but the flavours did not come through enough.

Food is good no problems.. Excellent taste.. But manager was not good. unprofessional as he needs more training. He is not taking care of restaurant. Owner should check his works. Thank you

Bad service,rude Manager,bad attitude and behaviour,it wasn't clear from the beginning that we had to leave after 2 hours,so they told us to leave .

An extraordinary culinary journey that left an indelible mark on my taste buds! Definitely worth a visit!

Below is my first review from two years ago, but we returned 2 nights ago and it is back to its best. Great food, a laid back, but great vibe, and perfect service. We are regular customers and big fans of Gymkhana, but wanted to give Bombay Bustle another try after first visiting it right after it opened. We enjoyed it even then, but this time it was simply outstanding. We cannot wait to return.

Well worth it! Nice ambiance great food and excellent service.

Nice place. We was looking for a fast dinner and found this place. Near London palladium where had a show the same night. Really fast service and nice staff. The food was great whit lot of tast we eat lot of Indian food when we are in the Uk. The taste was little different and that we like not so sweet than other do. A bit pricey but really good.

Good Indian food, just a little expensive.

Really excellent food, I was very impressed.

Curry was awful for the price a disgrace.Smallest popadums I've ever seen,seek kebab a joke

Like the food ,Chillie paneer is not as expected we think it comes dry

Ontzettend lekkere curry's. Vriendelijke en snelle bediening. Cocktails smaakten eveneens goed. Leuk interieur en fijne muziek zorgen voor goede vibes aan tafel. Aanrader als je van de Indiase keuken houdt. Opvallend veel vegetarische gerechten op de kaart.

I love the dosa the most. And the desserts are amazing. Kulfi and gulab jamun tiramisu are so good. The eggplant is also good. Lamb a bit too spicy. Overall good.

Food was nice but overpriced for what it was. Main complaint is the rudeness of staff. The entire time we were there they continuously reminded us that we had only 2 hours before the next people arrived and kept rushing us. In particular the manager was quite rude - said thank you on the way out to him. Didn't say anything or even smile back. least they can do if they're charging so much is offer polite service

Hello, I recently dined at Bombay Bustle restaurant with a reservation under the number 76YSAK6EA, and I must say that my experience was a rather mixed one. While the restaurant itself exuded a charming ambiance and promising cuisine, several aspects of our visit left much to be desired. Upon our arrival, the receptionist directed us to a table located in a high-traffic area downstairs, near the restaurant's entrance. Given the less-than-ideal location, we politely requested a table change to a more comfortable spot. Unfortunately, the response we received from one of the staff members was less than professional. Instead of addressing our concern and assisting us promptly, he seemed dismissive and initially questioned why we were sent downstairs in the first place. This initial interaction was far from the level of hospitality one would expect. After making our way back upstairs to request a table change from the receptionist, we experienced a significant delay in receiving menus. It took approximately 22 minutes for them to be provided to our table, which was a rather frustrating wait. Furthermore, it was disappointing to note that the service we received was inconsistent compared to the exemplary service other patrons seemed to be enjoying. The individual assigned to our table appeared to prioritize other reservations and displayed a noticeable lack of attention and professionalism when serving us. This discrepancy in service left us feeling overlooked and undervalued as customers. As a group of four diners, we had high expectations for our visit to Bombay Bustle, but the issues we encountered significantly dampened our experience. While the restaurant itself offers an inviting atmosphere and the promise of delicious cuisine, the service we received, particularly from the staff member assigned to our table, fell far short of the standards one would expect from a dining establishment of this caliber. In conclusion, I hope that Bombay Bustle will take our feedback into consideration to improve the consistency and quality of their service. Dining out should be an enjoyable and memorable experience, and unfortunately, our visit left us with a sense of disappointment.

Pathetic and rude staff. We ordered brunch for four of us and they brought common portion and we didn’t bother much about that though we noticed it. But when the main course was served, they just gave two rotis for four and a very small portion of rice not even sufficient for one person. When we highlighted this, came a very rude and impolite reply that this is what they give and the waiter didn’t wait to hear us ordering for additional roti, he went and another guy we ordered came asking how he can help and after our explanation he also went without responding. While I will never ever step in to this place again, (please read previous reviews also which I didn’t heed and it is quite likely you may also not heed to my advice) and if at all you come here, be aware that they charge substantial price but would be more greedy to cut down the portions. So if you order brunch when you go in groups, you ask them to serve individually and not combine it. I’m appalled at their unprofessional and extra greedy attitude unmindful of customer and their occasions. I regret to have brought my family here. There is no one responsible there.

Before we go any further: gulab jamun IN A TIRAMISU people! Sorry Italy, but these babies are soft moist and go perfectly with the marscapone. Genius. I also loved the dosa trio was pancake soft, and so delicious with the lamb and sauces on the side! The keema pau was one of my favorites too, such good flavor but didn’t mask the lamb flavor. But what can?! Of course a mango lassi to wash it all down!

The service and atmosphere of Bombay Bustle is great - however the food was disappointing for the price. It was good but I have enjoyed what I would consider better curries elsewhere at half the price. Portion sizes are also small.

We had dinner at this lovely restaurant. Gave 5 stars to food and service, unfortunately had to give 3 stars for the atmosphere. The music was too loud to have a conversation and on top that some guests ( not the restaurant's fault) were extremely loud. All in all, a good experience.

The food was great - in particular the dosa, the aloo chat and the breads. Portions were lacking generosity so I wouldn’t say it was good value because it’s let down by poor service. Service is dreadful - no management of the service team so multiple people asking the same questions about water, or ignoring us. The cocktails were poorly made. Staff were either mithering around us of nowhere to be seen. Neighbouring tables had similar experiences . £200 for two people a bit steep despite the location - overall nice food but not worth another visit.

A sham of a place Never end up writing reviews. And don’t really like reading long ones. But this instance, at Bombay Bustle, needs volumes to be written about. I will try to keep it brief Try It used to be a great place to go. But because of last nights fiasco at the restaurant. I will never be returning. And neither will the six other guests who were with with me. The manager, and the lady at the desk, were running the show like it’s their own little version of Barbie and Ken’s dream restaurant, in their bubble version of Mayfair. Rude, unapologetic, unorganised, unprofessional …… and just downright narcissistic. This restaurant needs an overall or better yet to permanently close down, and pave way something better to come along. I believe the issues in the staff and their behaviours, are now bound to be fully integrated into the working of the restaurant. It is systemic. From not letting a person with disability find a table on the ground floor. Fighting with us about our request to cancel earlier in the evening. Cutting the cork of a £150 Margaux into half, and trying to shove the second half into the bottle itself. And with food so bad, I would want to send the chefs back to india for an intense training course. It is a disaster. If LSL Capital wants to keep growing, and maintain their image as creators of great dining experience in London, they need to intervene. It is a request. In short - The experience was mind numbing and the staff was atrocious.

The food looked great but it was tasteless, There was not any salt in the food whatsoever even the naan bread I was shocked !!!

The ambience is just Okay. A normal restaurant that serves you some vegetarian food. Mind it— it has eggs in breads( naan). The dabba dal is literally in Dabba and very handful qty. an approximate £50 for two in plain vegan order .

We were slightly late to our booking. As we attended the host was polite and was awaiting our arrival. Albeit a little quiet when we sat down (around 6pm on Sunday) the restaurant was filled to the brim but the time we left - seems to definitely be a bustling place! In regards to the food, it was superb. Packed full of flavour, textures and wonderfully balanced dishes were served to us. I would say the Chicken Mahkni and Tandoori chicken were stand outs! Also the trio of dosa - light and devilishly satisfying. The decor was nice, the whole feeling was like you were in an old school Indian train with the very last details being paid attention to. Dishes were served in old school tiffins - what a great experience. My only gripe with the place was the price and the service charge which was over £50 for I would say mediocre service at best. Would I return? YES! I do recommend however please be aware that it can get a little pricey - but I guess that’s expected in this part of London!
