Bombay Central in Harrow

Lively place, very attentive staff, being closed for a year now , such joy to be able to go out to a nice indian dining place again, highly recommend.Bring back the tandoori grill please 😁!

It was really nice to have one of the best restaurant back open after long time We all missed you. Thank you Uday Dalal

Amazing food and atmosphere as usual

Great place,food and drinks all good.

Amazing food, Parti was particularly welcoming! What a great experience

Dhaval very very kind and helpful

So pleased to see Bombay Central back. We have missed them. Food delicious as always and staff doing a great job. Some familiar faces. Welcome back Bombay Central.

First time back after the closing, everything is as it was, Perfect food, service and atmosphere as usual! Great work Bombay Central!

Had a takeaway from the guys at Bombay Central , unbelievably fresh food with great fast service 👌🏼 10/10 all round

The second I heard about the reopening I knew I had to order as soon as possible and it did not disappoint. The food was exceptional and just like how I remember. The portion sizes are perfect - definitely worth the money. The sauces in the curries were divine and the amount of meat u get is perfect. 10/10 recommend. So happy to see it reopen

Food was amazing and freshly made.

I really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. It's a pity that i hear this restaurant is shutting down, because the food was excellent and a very good choice of beers available.

Tasty vegetarian food drinks are delicious and the service is excellent Must Try -> Crispy Corn and Veg Manchurian and Chilli Paneer

Bombal Central offers incredible, authentic Indian cuisine with exceptional taste. The staff is incredibly friendly, and their drink selection is delightful. The portions for both starters and main courses are generous, and the flavors are superb. Thank you for the wonderful service. I've missed visiting since the refurbishment began. I'm eagerly awaiting the reopening and hope there won't be any changes to the chef. Also would like to know reopening date...so that I can plan something again with my family.and friends ❤️💯

Very bad wrapping the food was leaking and the taste of the food is awful I never had a sweet chicken biryani

Amazing service, one of the best restaurants around. Missing the crispy prawn as I’m out of town. Will make sure to have it again once I’m back

Crispy prawn is the top. We had our models here for our 3rd anniversary and it was a fantastic experience. Thank you to the hostess & Anna! Will be back again soon

Are you going to open or is it going to be arsenal tak like all the pubs again it we are definitely tracking you

It is very tasty and good in terms of hygiene, but it needs to be more careful.

Amazing food I recommend ordering starters and mix grill and also curries the best options too choose from

I like the idea of themed restaurants and this one with its Indian Railways theme, complete with a running toy diesel train engine running on tracks above our heads is such a novelty in Harrow that is unmistakably unique. The rest rooms are also themed as train toilets and there are imitation luggage boxes and even the standard aluminium kettle tea pot stacked somewhere among other beautiful train models. And the food? It is excellent and does remind one of Mumbai! Well done can’t wait to go back and

Edited next day after reply from restaurant to clarify. This IS the restaurant my friend visited a few months back as she wanted to treat her family. She has lived locally to your restaurant for 40 years. She cannot do a review as she does not know how but I did it with her permission. Still wouldnt go back. Food was fine but service was abysmal and they felt rushed and unwanted.

We had our event at Bombay central in August after we got married and they were exceptional. We were being handled by Ana and she was absolutely amazing from the booking process to the end. Ana made sure everything was okay and also ensured our non onion and garlic guests were looked after. Parth was the man main behind the bar that night serving. He did a fabulous job with everyone's needs. He was smiley and friendly and could not fault him in any way. Everyone loved the food and the standard of the food did not slip when making in quantity. It's a shame to see the restaurant is currently temporarily closed and I do hope it opens again soon as this is one of our favourite places.

Amazing food as always. The prawns starters are amazing. 2nd time here. Starters and mains were both great. Lovely flavours and great service

Recommended by a good friend , an evening with friends , converted pub into an authentic Indian restaurant, good quality food and good quantity, waiters not so friendly , felt we were just a chore , but went for the food and ambiance

Ordered different varieties of food but they did not accompany with any type of chutneys so had to eat dry. Compared to other restaurants you would get chutneys with each dish. Very disappointed.

Went there Wednesday night with friend. The place was very quiet and looked tired. We I redress chicken tikka that was hard as a rock. Chicken lollipop was dry and tasteless. The naan bread was dry. The mogo was dry and no flavour. Crispy bhajiya were ok. The deserts were awful. Passion cheese cake was hard and and dry. Sorry I had expectations but was totally let down. Never ever again.

The food was one of the best Indian food I've had in London. The taste is so much better than restaurants in central London. The prawns starters were amazing! Also their portion sidmze extremely generous!

We ordered butter chicken, veg kofta in main dishes and both have been poorly made. The butter chicken which is such a common dish across all Indian restaurants was watery as the curry sauce was mild and has bubbles when eaten with bread. It was tasteless. The other dish was better but still seems to be not marinated properly. The restaurant has been little pricy than other similar kinds in the area offering Indian cuisine.

I ordered with good faith but food was completely bland and taste or cooked and I ordered medium but it came very hot

Went with elderly friend and excellent food . But take away of paneer turned plasticky and roti bottom was burnt . But eating there black daal and naan excellent. Fish was looking lovely but batter was over cooked from outside

We visited a few weekends back for my birthday and had the best service. My mum cannot eat any food with chillies in and when we spoke to the staff they talked us through things on the menu that could be made mild. They were very accommodating and made my mum feel at ease and for the first time visitng an Indian she had a ramge of options to eat from. The staff were so friendly and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed Then there was the food...... and what amazing food that was. There wasn't one dish that arrived that we were unhappy with and we ordered alot that day. The food came out hot and the overall taste was so good! Thank you for making our visit and my birthday meal a great one!

Food was so delicious 3 star is for that but service was very poor they were not communicating or suggesting us . We have to wait and look for them. But for food i would recommend to visit.

Pros - Good tasty authentic food. Free parking. good location. Cons - Pretty mediocre staff service. Waited 20 mins for the bill after we requested. Prices can be a little lower as there is a healthy competition in Harrow for authentic indian food. ambience was more of a forced theme. Didnt like it very much

I ordered a takeaway from here..paid £25.20 never recd any food. Rang and they didn't care...unbelievable experience.

The restaurant looks good from outside . The food was awful . Don’t go there . You are wasting your money . I can’t see it remaining open . They should be ashamed of the food they serve . £44 to eat dog food .

We went for a chat and dinner, and the waiters kept telling us the bill is ready. The place was not full , I really can not understand why they wanted us to leave , I would have had a sweet and then coffee but we were being rushed out ....they need to decide what business they are in. Hospitality or they just want to be a cafe . For quick in and outs. I'm confused.

We eat on a regular basis as BC. Excellent food. Not too spicy, just right for kids, and good portions. Service is always excellent, and the staff are accomodating. No complaints at all. Always a very high standard.

We were treated to a meal here by some friends of ours a couple of nights ago, and we were totally impressed. Food is authentic and tasty, and was served up pretty quickly. We loved the lamb chops, cassava dish, chicken tikka and ocra fries....

Good place to take the family, great food bit expensive but that is life now, quality slightly down from last time, might be a new cook in the kitchen, but we were happy

Awesome interiors & atmosphere but food taste wasn’t so pleasant and one of the starter was served cold. Food taste wasn’t like an Indian feel . But interior design of the venue is awesome.

My bf found this restuarant and I wasn't that excited based on the pictures online. But its much nicer than I expected, really nice atmosphere, good food and decor, good waiter. Overall happy experience and would definitely return.

Amazing food, great chilled out ambience and fabulous cocktails! Highly recommend to try this place. Great first experience. Xavier was super with his front of house hospitality and Ana made amazing Cosmopolitans. Food super delicious too 😋

Amazing host, service and food. A special thanks to the lovely Ana for making fabulous cosmopolitans! Also to Xavier for front of house hospitality and to the chef for delicious food. Truly delicious food, chilled out ambience and drinks. Definitely worth a visit and highly...

Once again the 4 of us had a super meal. Top Class Food, Courteous Service, Friendly Professional Staff, Relaxing Atmosphere.

We have always come here when visiting London. The food and ambience are excellent. Love the little touches with the decor, especially the mini train on top. The food is want brings us back and is it did not disappoint. Standard is still the same...

Highly recommend this place portion sizes are good and very competitively priced, definately a good choice of starters and mains

Have frequented Bombay Central for many years, loved it, and used it at least once a week. Was away for a few months and returned for a takeout. Obviously under new ownership, Had an ordinary vegetarian meal which was at least 30% more expensive than...

The setting of the restaurant is very impressive and one of our waitresses was very welcoming to us. The starters was very good but the right chutneys was not provided until we actually finished our starters. The main disappointment was the mains which lacked flavour...

We were a large group celebrating my Dad’s birthday and were looked after really well. A special thank you to Parth who helped to organise the dishes for us. Lovely food and service :)

Amazing food and atmosphere. The portions were very generous and the kids loved it as well

Dont even want to give 1 start to this place .The food was really horrible,ordered a egg curry at this place it was really really blunt ,had zero taste .Everything was so bad they didn’t even ask water ,staff was so not welcoming.when the issue was raised to the manager he was so rude as if hes giving food for free.Please Do not go to this place if u want to eat authentic indian .This nothing even close to that 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮

Booked a party for 14 people for birthday dinner. Amazing service, atmosphere and food. So flavourful and moreish, take your pick of any dish you wont be disappointed. We were served by Ruchi and she was very nice and delivered great service, did not disappoint.

Massively busy, very noisey, food was OK, not amazing, but I didn't expect it to be amazing. For me, it was a one-time visit, and I have tick marked it now.

No decent service and very poor I will not go to this restaurant again Waitresses hardly ever speak any language and must have just dropped off the air Food quality not good for the price charged

Starters were great ordered the chilli mogo paneer and sweetcorn with a mixed grill. Unfortunately when the mains came we found chewing gum in our rice! Absolutely disgusting and put us off completely. Horrible end to what started off as a lovely evening out with the family.

Extremely polite service, food was at our table in less than 3 minutes after ordering too. Great decor and vibe too, would definitely recommend to fans of delicious Indian cuisine as well as a welcoming restaurant! :)

Food was excellent. Service was also friendly and efficient.

Great service, value for money is the best. Was slightly delayed in being seated, but was offered a round of drinks for this. Was well looked after by Ana and will definitely come back! Thanks all

Good vibe n atmosphere with a mix of family and young crowd. Good street food choices

Starters were good but mains weren't great and the evening was let down further with poor service all evening.

Fantastic food! Worth the trip to Harrow from Leicester.

Wasn't the best experience delays in drinks and starters didn't help matters Starters were huge which meant it was a struggle to finish main courses which were ok but lacking flavour

Very different kind of a restaurant theamed on mumbai essence... blown away with the ambiance... The food was ok ... didn't get blown away. The beer ordered was not there ... the lamb chops were burnt , however they replced it The fish amritsari was not a disappointment and papdi chat was good They charge gratuity without asking ... hence we chose not to pay ... i felt that was a little uncalled for ... in all ... not a bad place to go one time Food could be a bit more flavourful

Ambience is really nice but food is not good at all. We ordered chicken reshmi kebab it was pathetic feeling like I was eating boiled chicken. All the items we ordered was not at all satisfying.

Used to be a nice place to eat....in summary: Nice decor, average food and poor management. Bad attitude filters down to the waiting staff. Bad manners and poorly trained staff ruin what could actually be a really good successful venue. Staff very unattentive. Food is very hit and miss. Probably wouldn't return unless I was desperate to eat. Certainly wouldn't recommend anymore.

Had an awesome time at Bombay Central, great service and great food!

Food was great but what wasn’t was the service! I booked a table with my family on Friday evening and not even half hour of being sat at table we were told we need to leave by 8:15 (bearing in mind I was never told we had a short time limit) again 10 mins later we were asked if we wanted mains straight away when we had only just got our starters. After ordering our mains we were then told if we didn’t mind cancelling the mains as they really needed the table. We still had over an hour left and were basically told to go. It’s understandable to have a time limit on a weekend but to keep pestering paying customers 4 times to finish their food is not right. We didn’t even bother ordering mains and got the bill early as did not enjoy the atmosphere. Would not recommend on this basis that’s for sure!

My favourite Indian restaurant. The waitress Sonali is very nice

Great service and really good food! Dads night out was super successful!!!

Visited here for the first time and we made use of the private room to the lower ground floor. The place has its own bar which is great because it enabled the event (50 guests) to be contained in one area. The seat were comfortable and the space was substantial for our function. The decor, colour schemes, details, vibes and ambience are brilliant. The venue has a huge seating area upstairs and also has outdoor seating to the front and the rear or the building as well as also hosting sports on the big screen too! The food we ordered was delicious, tasty, flavoursome and full of spice!! Staff were very helpful and friendly and helped to make the event very relaxing. Parking on some of the nearby roads is free, whilst others are permit controlled, so do pay close attention to signage.

I attended a networking event in the basement. It was very well organised but the doors are not noise proof which affected the concentration levels.

Updated review as of 12/03/2022 - Had a very very lovely night and Rishi was true to his word. Staff were brilliant as was the food. Thank you for a great night out. Update as of 23/01/2022 - Rishi an absolute gentlemen, has invited us back to the restaurant and provided an apology. Will update the review after the next visit which hopefully will be 5 stars .

All I can say is wow! So so impressed with Sonali who managed to fit us in on a busy Saturday evening. We only ordered starters as the portion size was more than we expected and therefore had no room for mains. But the flavours and textures were all superb - in particular the chilli paneer and masala mogo were amazing. Will definitely be adding this gem of a place to my list of restaurants to go to!

The food was really tasty! The service was great and it’s a really nice atmosphere to enjoy with family and friends! A great local gem!

Lovely food and ambience. We had lots of starters which were delicious. Great service too!

As always the service and the food at Bombay Central has been amazing. Thank you to Sonali & Diggy (the host and hostess), our amazing waitress Ruchi, and to the entire team who are always so accommodating and friendly, even though we were a walk in on a busy night! When visiting be sure to try their masala lassi and their meat alternatives- they’re doing some creative dishes!

Food was great. Better than Blue Ginger. Sunali was lovely.

As always the food here is delicious, lots of great options and the food packs lots of flavour. We came on a Sunday and the vibe was spot on! The team here are really friendly and helpful, big shout out to Anna and Sonali who took care of us today. Also their crispy corn is by far the best I’ve tasted!! We look forward to coming back soon

Great food and service - perfect for a private event. The staff took care of our event to perfection.

Pretty good food, and decour defintely defined expectations!

fantastic food and atmosphere. Amazing!

Had high tea at Bombay Central. It was for £20.00 per person with bottomless masala tea. However, there is only one type of masala tea that is with sugar and for myself who does not take any sugar in her tea this was very disappointing and also say if a person is diabetic than what. Also I found the food to be very bland for an indian restaurant and definitely not worth £20, in addition the man who seemed like an assistant manager was very rude. I also asked for spicy chutney which they did not have!

Very very mediocre. Mixed grill didnt even come out sizzling at all, onions uncooked and were just swimming in some watery soup at the end. Fish curry, absolutely awful, tasted a few days old you could literally see a film on top. Dont know how this place got so manu good reviews. Only thing that was OK was the ambience thats about it.

Food was amazing!! Ana was so lovely throughout our meal. So helpful and always happy to help. Diggy the manager also was very helpful and always was ensuring we were well looked after. The service was immaculate even though it was a super busy Friday! Will definitely be coming back here again. My second visit in less than a month as I had my baby shower her too with afternoon tea and I can’t fault the service! Thank you team Bombay Central

Nice buzzy restaurant. Sonali on the door was super friendly & helpful. Portions enormous & tasty

All food taste's freshly cooked with good ingredients. great food, tastes very good and cannot complain of excessive oil. I recommend the Mushroom Starter & Chicken Lollipop (both nice & crispy), Methi Chicken and Tandoori Roti.

Great service by staff Great interior at the restaurant Took plenty of pictures inside and out of the restaurant

I really enjoyed the food here, it's also got a lovely ambience in the restaurant and the waiters are very attentive. Came here with friends and family and had a very enjoyable experience. I really enjoyed the starters and mains (too many good ones, I have the impression that the food here in general is of a decent standard).

Great service and good atmosphere, the staff there are really nice and very helpful . We were looked after by Ana , she helped me right from my reservation to on the day service .

The customer service is excellent at Bombay Central. The staff are friendly, quick and efficient, a special shout out to Sonali and the Manager (whose name I didn't get) for making my brother and I's birthday dinner special. The food is delicious and I would definitely recommend people visit this restaurant.

Bombay central is one of my all time favourites. Sonali, who attended to us was exceptional and made out evening special. She took super care of us and ensured all was brilliant. We had an amazing time Thank you to Sonali and her team/colleagues at Bombay Central. Food smashing Service smashing Bombay central smashing for all occasions !

Drove 2 hours to this restaurant with our children and arrived at 6.30pm. The restaurant was at 20% capacity and virtually empty. A rude lady advised ‘bookings only’ and a total disregard for the 2 hour journey we had made and hungry children. Will not certainly be attending this restaurant ever again. The lady was arrogant and had zero empathy considering the restaurant was virtually empty. Rude and arrogant experience

Brilliant place to eat with family and children. Friendly helpful staff.delicious well prepared food and good filling portions.

Excellent and authentic indian food and service..good ambience..bit costly but on par with all other good indian dining outlets..would love to see them expand their menu to cover South Indian and more chaats

Lovely food always. Over the past two or three visits, we have been looked after by Ana who is always very attentive, helpful and nothing is too much bother - thank you Ana.

Food was great. Staff very helpful.
