We made a booking & the restaurant was not accommodating to our party at all. We asked for the general manager to resolve the situation and he was rude and then ran away. The staff were unable to provide names for the general manager. Having failed to deliver a service typically expected in Mayfair we left and went to Kanishka few doors down which was fantastic and accommodating. No wonder the restaurant was so empty at dinner. The service at this restaurant has left a bad taste as a returning customer. There are much better Indian restaurants to try around Mayfair for sure.

Called the restaurant and told them I wanted to come for tea came with a group six and asked to have dessert and tea, staff was extremely rude and said we had to order something for the main menu to have dessert They then refused us service when we said we wouldn’t do so, completely opposite of what was promised on the phone it was 10 o’clock and the restaurant was almost empty Jatinder the general manager came out to talk to us and was also rude and incompetent and refused to talk to us and ran away Absolutely worst experience I’ve ever had - I went out my way to come here

The ambience and atmosphere of the place is absolutely stunning. Starters were really really good, like the Tandoori chicken was just out of this world. However, the main course was a bit disappointing. I personally think two or three startes each would be better than a starter and a main course. Drinks were decent and service was pretty good. Might visit again but only for starters.

I visited this place today evening and was surprised to get the booking very easily. Maybe I should have guessed them the reason why it was so easy to get a booking on a Saturday night in the third week of December. The restaurant cleanliness was good. The staff seemed friendly except for the waiter serving us. We ordered Tawa crab and Kerala fish curry with garlic naan and rice. I was surprised to find the Tawa crab swimming in a red tomato sauce while I was expecting a fry dish with minimum sauce. The Kerala fish curry was the worst I have ever had in a supposedly fine dining restaurant. It tasted of nothing but tomatoes, absolutely flavourless. The only good thing was the garlic naan. The rice was hard and cold. To make the things worse the meal cost me £90 for a sub standard food.I would advise you to stay away from this place if you want good food.

Bombay Bustle Indian Restaurant in Mayfair offers a nostalgic yet modern dining experience. The vintage train carriage-inspired décor and delectable cuisine create an unforgettable ambiance. Despite minor service delays and billing issues, the exceptional food and vibrant atmosphere make it a hidden gem. The Gadbad Sundae dessert is a standout, leaving patrons wanting more.

While the food met expectations, the quality of service is truly disappointing. Plan the meal to be done in an hour. Anything more, you are put in an uncomfortable situation, constantly interrupting, completely disregarding and putting you and your guests in an awkward situation. Utter disappointment and shameful.

We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids that visited for an early Saturday dinner. It is a large venue split over 2 floors, and it was semi busy. Our group ordered the samosa chaat, trio of duck dosas, keema pau, garlic prawns, egg truffle naan, lamb chops, fish tikka, lal maas (mutton curry), chicken tikka makhani, black dahl, along with some rice and a few naans. The food ranged from decent to excellent. We particularly enjoyed the dosas, keema pao, garlic prawns and I was also impressed by their light and airy naans. The egg truffle naan was a bit disappointing (lacked truffle flavour) and the fish tikka a bit dry, but these were the only minor negatives on the evening. For dessert we tried the gulab jamun tiramisu and the jalebi cheesecake, with the former being the clear winner of the two. Service was quite friendly and quite speedy. It felt well organised. The bill for our group came to around £600, of which £200 was spent on drinks. On the pricier side but not excessive given the Mayfair location, and we were also able to get 15% off the bill due a current promo. Overall an excellent Indian meal and I do regret not coming here sooner, given it’s been on my radar for so long!

My partner and I were looking for a last minute table in the Carnaby Street. We tried to grab a walking table at a place we had seen previously on a Sonebidy Feed Phil episode but were greatly deterred by the long line up of over thirty other patrons who were waiting ahead of us. A quick search of the Michelin Guide lead us to Bombay Bustle where we were able to be seated immediately and enjoyed a delicious meal.

We went there for dinner on our last day trip to London, we were looking for an Indian restaurant and we got to know about this through Google. They have charged us extra money for cover charge (and didn't inform us beforehand about it) and when we inquired about it they mentioned it's restaurant policy. Staff is very friendly with foreigners but very rude with Indian. I would never suggest any of our fellow Indian to go there. It was such a waste of money.

We had a very average meal at Bombay Bustle last evening. We could not finish any of our main courses - simply not to the standard you would expect at a restaurant like this. The service was ok. Very inflexible on menu changes or requests. That’s their policy and that’s fine. Overall, a very average experience for the hype and price.

It's a good restaurant, but overpriced even for London. The food is good to very good, but unfortunately the ambience and especially the service do not match the price. The greeting and table assignment were very unfriendly and sometimes arrogant. At first we had to wait quite a long time until the waiter noticed us. Afterwards a more experienced and friendly waiter came and things got better. Unfortunately, the first impression was decisive: we would not recommend the restaurant

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also felt we were misguided on portions which are tiny, so needed to probably order more than we had on the table.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Absolutely horrible taste and hospitality, also they are charging higher than what is quoted in the menu. It is nowhere near Indian cuisine as the chef and owners are all Bangladeshi. Please dont waste your time and money in such scam restaurants

My favorite restaurant in London. I always make a point to stop here for dinner and drinks when I’m back in town. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and I love the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
