Bombay Nite in Suffolk Coastal

Sadly, very disappointing takeaway tonight. Ordered a lamb madras, mushroom pilau rice and a peshwari naan. Lamb was mainly tough as old boots, the odd bit that was easier to chew was stringy. I’ve been eating curry for 40 years and this tasted nothing like a madras I’ve ever had before. It was tangy, sour and was absent of any spice. Their menu describes as fairly hot. The rice wasn’t that warm. The saving grace was the peshwari naan. I’ve used the restaurant for several years, both dining in and takeaways. I’ve had the odd meal that’s not been up to standard and our down to a bad night, however I don’t think I’ll be frequenting again.

We had a fantastic meal. We will return at some point

Very friendly staff. They even offered us papadoms and deserts without charging. Food was good and the ambient was as you expect in a curry house.

A very good meal tonight, however things have slipped, no linen, no hot wipes, service with a smile, mmmm, all a bit rushed through, no atmosphere, not sure what is happening here now, very sad about this, used to be a great place to come too

Really lovely meal as always, although it was packed full and so the service wasn't as good as it used to be, we had to keep calling over for more drinks. Will still return as we love the food!

Our go to Indian restaurant. This time had the lamb lagan, with sides of onion bhaji and seagulls ponir coconut rice and peshawar naan. All delicious, as usual.

Shockingly good 😊 Next time in Felixstowe, we will RETURN 😃

Very welcoming, food is just excellent. Staff are brilliant, especially with the younger ones.

Iqbal what is lovely waiter had the most fantastic meal not normally a Indian dinner very impressive place all staff friendly and helpful will be calling here again

Haven't been here for at least a couple of years, having had a less than satisfactory meal on our previous visit. We thought we'd try it out again. Very friendly and welcoming service. We had the set meal for 2 and have to say it was excellent. Really tasty, as good as any Indian meal we've had in a while. Very reasonably prices too. If anything, there was too much food, as we struggled to finish everything, and left feeling uncomfortably full! We'll certainly be back soon, but probably choose a little less from the main menu.

Solo dined here last night . Were super friendly, free drink and dessert as well! Flavours all delicious, Lamb was slightly chewy or would have been 3 5s

Absolutely shocking experience . Phoned ahead to say “ we understand that you’re closing soon , is it still okay to eat in the restaurant , a table for two please“ We were told yes. We arrived promptly and were just seated , to then be told to “hurry up“ We proceeded (quickly)to order at least £30.00 worth of starters , (as neither of us can eat big mains ) After taking the order, the waiter then told us “no you can’t have any starters without ordering mains as well“ Sat feeling really awkward , I stated “I’m confused as to why it’d be a problem as the starters would have cost more than some of the mains advertised ?“ We were just stared at…As if that wasn’t beyond rude , and unprofessional, upon leaving we were then met with laughter from the staff. I really don’t understand why you even agreed to serve us in the first place? A real shame, as my family , 8 of us in total , were looking to dine here next month. I’d advise against anyone bothering to pay a visit to this place . Especially when there are far more accommodating and POLITE restaurants in and around Felixstowe & Ipswich

Have visited this restaurant over many years the food is always of the highest quality, the staff are always very friendly and polite and knowledgeable about the food on the menu, they also do a great take away service, you can even have a drink from the bar while you wait for your order to be expertly prepared, the only downside is they don’t deliver, but overall this is fantastic restaurant, would highly recommend.

Beautiful meal and lovely atmosphere every time 👌😋😋😋

Superb. Excellent food, amazing service, thanks for an excellent evening. Looking forward to the next time.

We went to Bombay Nite as a couple for a spontaneous date night and for my partner to try Indian cuisine for the first time.. ordered one large coke each with 4 poppadoms to start. The cokes were slightly warm, but the poppadoms were fine….. we ordered our meal of a chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, egg fried pilau rice, plain pilau rice, saag aloo, Bombay aloo, onion bhajis and a plain naan. The korma was okay, tikka masala was okay, but over cooked chicken, egg fried pilau rice tasted like a microwave pouch not fresh, although the plain pilau was okay. Saag aloo was simply tasteless, bar the salty potatoes, Bombay aloo had the same salty potatoes but the Bombay was also way too salty, we had to order additional glass of coke because of the over saltiness, which took forever to get to our table, Onion bhajis were very nice! Plain naan was okay, but I’ve definitely had better… We were given a complimentary desert which was nice, however we both felt it was overpoweringly creamy. The service started okay, but very early into our meal the staff started having full blown, really loud conversations with some of the other customers, appeared to be friends, but continued their loud conversation right next to our table where we were trying to enjoy our meal and have a nice date night together… having this loud conversation next to where we were eating was incredibly off putting. Also no table cloths and started hoovering whilst customers were still dining… This being said they did take off the saag and Bombay aloos.

This is my 3rd of 4th visit to this establishment and again they did not disappoint. The menu choice is vast and there are plenty of different options for any eater. The food is excellent and favour cannot be beaten. Inside it is very clean, although the tables are not very spacious. We visited to celebrate a birthday and the staff were very attentive and go above and beyond. I will definitely be visiting again for my curry fix!

Great night out thanks to the team at Bombay Nite - good food, atmosphere and staff were very kind, with complimentary papadams and ice cream. Would recommend and look forward to doing again

Very nice people, the staff are great, & the owner is a fantastic bloke! 👍👍

Incredible food for very modest prices. If you eat in, you're in for a treat at the end of the meal, with some free Vienetta if you still have room! If you collect your food to takeaway, enjoy a further 15% off. We are very fortunate to have such an amazing restaurant five minutes' walk away.

Really good food and great staff. A very enjoyable evening.

The most gorgeous veggie set meal as a takeaway. The food was amazing and loads of it. Thank you

Foods not as good as it used to be.

Recently visited Felixstowe beach and popped by Bombay Nite . The food and service was amazing . Upon arrival the waiter greeted us warmly and lovingly helped my elderly relative to his seat . The food was fresh and amazing from the poppadoms ,naan ,tandoori ,biriyani ,paneer and the complimentary ice cream was a great touch . As we enjoyed the food so much we had to take some back home with us . This was certainly one of the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time . Thank you for the hospitality and great food .

Fantastic service and great food thanks to the chef and all the stuff food was 5***** thanks for everything for my birthday meal love Nahid

Popped in with a few friends on a busy Saturday night, were able to get a table after waiting 10mins. Food was good, very reasonably priced, nice atmosphere too.

warning to vegetarians my mutah paneer and chana masala. were inedible. they did not use proper Indian paneer (cottage cheese) but English cheese that was a greasy stringy mess in the curry. The paratha bread, naan were stale and also inedible. my friends had lamb which was passable according to them. If your veggie or vaguely into Indian cuisine give this place a massive swerve

Doesn't look like much from the outside but food and service is spot on. Decor wise it could do with an update but don't let that put you off, food is 10/10

Fantastic meal, King Prawn Tikka Masala the best I have had in 10 years. Not too hot and not too spicy, just right. Starters was something new to me Bombay Dry with 4 sauces & onion/cucumber mix. One of the sauces I'm sure was BBQesque which was nice & something different. I was in a hurry as under orders from her indoors, wish I could have stayed longer. Reminded me of an Indian we used to go to in Hornchuch Essex opposite the Crown pub. Give it a go I am sure you will enjoy it. Staff were great 👍 👌

Excellent Indian restaurant, well worth a visit.

We had my sons 40th birthday. At bombay nights. Staff were very nice, very good food, brilliant atmosphere, best to book well in advance if your thinking of going. We will be going again.

Disgraceful. As just moved into the area tried the takeaway service which was ok but they sent us away with two very burnt peshwari nans. Complained and was told we could get two free ones next time. Gave them a second chance and regretted it!! The food, apart from one dish, was dreadful and the Nan breads were bad again - one inedible. Chicken Tikka was pink and not properly cooked. The chicken korma and passanda were in watery sauces. One of the dishes was supposed to come with rice but it didn’t. Wasn’t even worth complaining as will never use this restaurant again - be warned.

We had a VERY disappointing experience. The chicken was undercooked, the naan bread was burnt and the overall flavor was lacking. This was our second visit, hoping for improvement, but unfortunately, it was even worse than the first time.

Delicious food, lovely staff, fair prices, give it a try

Average food. Place looking very old and tired. Service good. Nothing to recommend about this restaurant.

Excellent friendly staff 😀 Lovely food.

Great food..Great prices..Great staff

Excellent food, good service, very welcoming and friendly staff.

Rapidly going downhill. Would go with friends on a regular basis but the past 3 times rude member of staff and at 8.45pm allowed us to get another bottle of wine then rudely gave us the bill at 9pm and came along with card machine even though we hadn't asked for it or even managed to get through our wine. We said to the waiter you close at 10pm and he rudely said no we don't we close at 9pm. We'll that's one way to get rid of you and on this final straw you have got rid of us for good!!!

Love this place, staff are great and very friendly food is amazing, its the best Indian restaurant in Felixstowe in my opinion

We were a table of 4 & all had issues with our food, we have been here many times before & this was the worst meal we have had, tasteless & bland food. When we came to pay we told the owner & all he said was "sorry but we were very busy", that's no excuse for bad food, we did hear others complaining about their food too. We will not return until it improves immensely

Poor excuse for Indian food. Utterly bland, sauces are thin and below par, can’t even see a lentil in the dansak. Food was cold, chicken a little pink in places and pilau rice looked like microwave veg rice. Poppadoms super oily. Abysmal.

Great Foodz, Great Service, Great Atmosphere! They gave us complimentary ice cream too. Looking forward to visiting again

Really nice, simple Indian. I went for the award winning most “expensive” dish (£14) - superb.

It was my first time at bombay nite and i must say the food and service was amazing. I defo will be going back.

Just called. Then man on the phone was blunt and rude. Asked if he had space. He replied no. And that was it. No alternative times. Shame.

Had a takeaway, previously wasn’t happy , but I thought I’d give it another try … Bombay potato ok , coconut rice , was not what I imagined, had peas in it , who does that . Mushroom rice , think they got the portion wrong , hardy any rice in the container. The chicken tikka in the 2 curry’s was like the normal cheap chicken, pathia madras’s was like a watered down masala, no taste , no spice , and no temperature. Chicken tikka curry , was also watered down . Very poor indeed . Who the hell is in the kitchen, certainly can’t be any chefs . Wouldn’t recommend. Save ur money

Ordered takeaway from here for 6 on Sunday 20th August to celebrate my daughter's birthday. A selection of starters, sides, rice and main's for both meat eaters and vegetarian's. All dishes were delicious, hot and plentiful. (In fact the salad that was left over was still crisp, fresh and tasty on Wednesday!). If I had to fault anything at all it would be the poppadoms. But these are never the same as a takeaway as there is obviously a delay from cooking to serving so not Bombay Nite's fault. (We chose to order them!) Thanks to all for a very enjoyable birthday meal. Highly recommended :)

What an absolute gem of a place! We were visiting Felixstowe and decided to have dinner on Sunday having read the reviews! From the moment we entered we were greeted warmly, shown to a lovely table and given time to consider drinks which were delivered swiftly and with a smile. We ordered our food and was completely impressed by the taste and quality! Hot, tasty, a varied menu and lots to choose from, we were not disappointed by our choices and the glamour were delicious! The service too was impeccable! We are returning to felixstowe in 4 weeks and will definitely be booking a table to return. The best indian in Felixstowe no question at all! Thank you all for a superb evening. Best wishes Sarah and Jackie, Beryl and Ernie

One of the most worst worst worst experience, as soon as we enter at the restaurant they throw the eggs on us and also

We had takeaway last night best Indian in town…. And really good value…. We will order there again we’ll recommend …. Thx you

Service was rushed, onion bahjis tasted like they came from Morrisons, and salad looked like it was taken out of a supermarket salad pack. Poppadoms tasted of burnt oil. Vegetable masala wasn't very good at all. Garlic naan was nice, garlic rice was nice, but all in all, a very rushed meal and not the best for sure.

We've never had a bad meal in here. A firm favourite.

Could do with a little paint a little shabby but every thing else was fine more lighting

I was so looking forward to going to this restaurant for my birthday as I had been before just before the pandemic and it was excellent. However this time it wasn't a good experience at all. It took a while before someone took our drinks order and when we drank them the lager we think had been diluted down and my shandy just tasted like sweetish water. When the starters came they were just plonked on the table so we had to take them ourselves and my prawns were like rubber and over done. The pilau rice had frozen mixed veg mixed in the rice! I've never seen it served like that and definitely not authentic. The rest of the food abysmal. The decor needs overhauling as very worn and the table coverings were brown vinyl wipeable cloth and depressing...no white tablecloths which would have looked more pleasant. How has this award winning restaurant become like this with offhand waiters?

Terrible food ever! Funny how such poor food is being served in the name of Indian food. We ordered Mattar paneer or “motor ponir” in their words and saag paneer and guess what there was no paneer but rather some cheap sticky cheese in it with a lake of refined oil on top of it! 🤦‍♂️ The Parantha was deep fried and the complimentary ice cream was low quality. The poppodoms given initially were taken away once main course was brought! I visited Felixstowe for the first time and tried this restaurant after reading these google ratings but what a waste of an afternoon. I even felt a little sick after eating there. I feel pity for the people who come there in the hope of eating Indian food and this is what they get.

The Bombay Nite continues to serve up great food with great customer service....we really should come here more often 😀

Brilliant evening here on Saturday. For was amazing and Hot. Well done 👏

Gorgeous food, good service and some unexpected complimentary treats. Come here for the best ever Chicken Jalfrezi.

Disappointing. Used to go here when I was younger in late nineties. Had a nice catch up with some mates. Decor is pretty much the same, or so it appears. Service was slow, forgetting drinks order 3 times, no pre meal poppadoms offered - had to ask, food was slow although it was quite busy so I'd allow that - 7pm booking so prime eating time. Staff chewing gum is not a good look I'm afraid and men's toilets clearly not cleaned regularly. as it stands, I wouldn't go back. Also, the sauces that eventually came with poppadoms tasted a bit funky - I've had raita at loads of places and they yellowness of this combined with off taste leave me wondering whether I will get an uninterrupted night sleep or not. Guess they've got complacent with regular customers who may not have noticed lower standards. There are much better Asian restaurants in the local area I'm afraid. I wouldnt recommend this at the moment. Shame.

Main course OK but rice not so sure about,ordered mushroom rice but it turned up with peas and sweetcorn in it? Nice enough service staff except for one who seemed a bit blunt, interior and furnishings a bit grubby won't be rushing back.

Booked last minute, and they were able to fit us in. Great food, nice atmosphere, and lovely staff! We even got some complimentary desert, too! Look forward to going again!

In the last year of living abroad one of the things I missed most was a Bombay Nite. I've been all over and have had no better Indian than here.

Usually, the food is amazing, the service is usually top tier, this time, they got the order wrong, delivered the wrong dishes, gave a dish, that should have been mild, that was so hot even Lucifer would have cried, the overall experience was not great. I expect better from a long established restaurant that has deep roots in the community. I may try it again, but I will leave it incase I waste another £85.....

Great prices for so much food. Couldnt finish it all. Great staff.Lovely valentines night thankyou

Looked at the reviews and thought great a restaurant to eat at, boy was we disappointed in what we was served, it was tasteless and the chicken korma had loads of bones in it, as well as being Luke warm, we explained to the waiter a he could see most of the food was left, who was quite rude and dismissive of our concerns regarding the food .. never will we eat there again, and certainly won’t be recommending with such poor customer service..

After reading good reviews we decided to book a table for 2 on Sat night as we had booked to see a show at the Spa Theatre In Felixstowe. The waiters on arrival was polite and showed us to our seat, took our drinks and food order, my partner ordered the chicken Korma with mushroom rice, I had the lamb biryani, which comes with a veg curry, it was awful, I found 5 small pieces of lamb, the veg curry was tasteless, my partners chicken korma was warm and had chicken bones in the sauce, it again was tasteless and the sauce looked like it was dish water, when the waiter came over and saw the food mostly untouched we explained our concern’s especially finding chicken bones in the korma he was so rude and literally call us liars even when presented with the evidence, never will we go there again, the food was not edible..

Takeaway very disappointing. Chicken Tikka Masala was tasteless and chicken tough. Similar experience with other dish. Pilau rice had carrot, peas and sweetcorn in it?? Papadams greasy and left an after taste like no other. Menu now in bin.

Omg... brilliant food. Excellent staff and food was quick to be served. Slightly more expensive than our usual indian restaurant but well worth the money.

Sorry to say it was not as good as it was...

An excellent classic Indian restaurant with friendly service and a great selection of dishes. Including their award winning Lamb Lagan. A very popular restaurant with all the local Felixstowe residents.

Food was lovely and came out in good time despite being full up inside and people awaiting takeaways. Great menu choice and good value for money.

We love Bombay Nite - Really tasty food and friendly service. A great selection of Indian lager too. The informal, comfortable atmosphere makes us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Gave them a large order with no notice and the food was there on time hot and tasted amazing thank you as it was an important family get together

Best Indian restaurant in Suffolk, highly recommend

My husband and I came here recently! And we we so surprised at how downhill this has become. Shami wasn't there and usually he is the life and soul of the restaurant. For an expensive meal.. it wasn't enjoy. The starters we left as the chicken was wet and full of gristle! Such a shame!

Always a good experience as so much food. We usually have the set menu for 4 & there is certainly plenty to eat & a wide choice which you can change a dish if you want to. Staff are always pleasant and helpful & never rush you. We will definitely visit again in the new year.

As always enjoyed a deliteful curry at Bombay Nite. Always a great nite. Really enjoyed the Bombay bash sharing starter. Always a brite nite with tastes reaching peak hite at Bombay Nite 👍

Worst experience ever this place has gone really down hill it was over booked and not many staff very rude staff and what can I say about the food worst food we have ever had, had to wait over half hour to be seated once seated on ordering our drinks took over a hour to bring 4 drinks the starters when they arrived hour and half later they were all dry and reheated and rubbery so complained well that’s how they are one rude waiter said, Our table was booked for 7.30pm we didn’t get our mains until 10.30pm over 3 hours from the minute we walked in absolutely disgusting all the mains were all over heated and no taste the Nan bread was all burnt and tasteless ever after ordering the lagers didn’t taste right and at the end they brought round a complimentary piece of Vienna ice cream so bluntly told the rude waiter where to stick it, this has gone right down hill and won’t be ever returning.

It was a nice meal, the meat dishes we had were good. What let it down for us was the rice, it looked and tasted like those microwave/steam bags of rice.

Always a great warm welcome and amazing service from the team. So much food for our banquet option, that we took a doggy bag home with us! As with everywhere at the moment prices have increased. Lots of variety. Takeaway quality has gone a little downhill however as usual option isn't as good. But overall a great place to eat and for a special occasion can't fault it 👍

Shami and all the staff serve the best Indian cuisine I have tasted. Great service with a smile and a chat.

Fantastic food as always. The only takeaway we will use in future.

Excellent, good food, good service and a great friendly atmosphere.

We have had two visits to Bombay Nites and on both occasions have been very happy with our meals. There is a comprehensive menu of various curry dishes and the usual couple of English options for those with other tastes. When driving by you would probably not notice this restaurant but once inside you will find a very cosy layout of alcoves perfect for intimate dining. Service was friendly but not always 100% accurate to our order but not a problem. Parking can be difficult nearby for those with mobility issues but wheelchair access is fine. On the whole Bombay Nites will not disappoint in any respect so I can definitely recommend a visit.

Really lovely food, think this is a new menu since we last visited, absolutely stuffed. Was really lovely had not reserved, brought out a cake for hubbys birthday and have home a present, really thoughtful.

used this place a few months back so thought lets go back, food is good service is good and price reasonable, had a great mix of curry, you will not be disappointed , give it a go

Best place to have a curry. Lovely atmosphere, lovely people and great flood. Always a pleasure

Finally proper curry that is not oily or bland! Two cold pint of beer for my partner and me made our night out perfect. Lovely attentive service too.

Must of been unlucky as majority of other reviews are good, unless they are all just easily pleased or don’t know any better. Food tasteless, service seriously slow. Chutney and onion bowls which go with poppadoms = disgusting. Can tell they re-use them without cleaning as all spilt down the sides and bowls put on shelf ready for next table after customer finished. God nows what germs are in the mango chutney if you checked it

Lovely takeaway, lots of flavour. Definitely will return, just a shame they don't deliver

Lovely food always. Friendly staff.Cosy inside.

Authentic Taste. Excellent staff. Definitely a place to go again and again.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant! The staff were excellent And very funny, the food was excellent and they even let me order a dish that wasn’t on the menu. Free ice cream and baileys at the end of the meal. Best Indian restaurant in Suffolk. Hands down

Went for a family meal chose a set meal for 3 people, there was a fantastic variety of dishes, unfortunately there was far to much food for us to finish it all, would definitely recommend, can’t wait to go back in the near future

Great meal with the best staff.

Really gutted this used to be the best in town! Sadly the food was luke warm and bland. The place was cold the service was indifferent with little or no ambience. The decor is tired but maybe 🤔 If the food was good we would not have noticed so much. We won't be going back!
