Bombay Quay in Cheshire West and Chester

Average food, especially biryani not good. Starter's are good overall a good place for family occasionally.

Went for a meal with partner, had an awesome time. Food was amazing. Will go again. Very affordable. This was our second visit. Thanks.

Fabulous Indian. I highly recommend it.

Unfortunately the whole experience was a bit disappointing, mainly let down by feeling rushed and having poor table service. It’s a nice venue and clearly popular since even though we were there quite early in the evening it was very busy. I think something that adds to that is the fact that most of the local competition is fairly average/poor in terms of food quality, although pricing at those places probably reflects that. Food wise, it’s a decent standard but I’ve had much better …but you have to go further a field, Altrincham, Hale, Cheadle, Manchester.. I realise that since Covid/lockdown it is difficult to get the right calibre waiting staff but I thought the person who served our table was too casual, seems like it was a chore to serve us, and was generally disinterested apart from rushing through the ordering process, which I thought was rude. Didn’t improve at all through the service and I will not return as a result….many other places to spend hard earned money on a meal where the establishment appreciates the business. I’ve had several takeaways from here recently and whenever I’ve picked them up, the staff here are always polite …..so it was a bit of a surprise and let down to be served by a ‘moody teen’ …. Overall I think I’ll stick to the occasional takeaway from now on, and save an Indian meal out for a trip to somewhere else…

Always fantastic and delicious food, friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere

Amazing restaurant! Service was great, all staff were very welcoming and kind! Thank you!

One of Northwich's best Indian restaurants, with excellent service, top food and a pretty cool design throughout. I recommend the bhuna!

I have been three times and food and service was great.

We booked a table prior to arriving and once we got there, the whole of Northwich appeared to be too! We have visited before, and on that occasion it too was busy. We have two gripes from last night's visit, firstly we ordered two separate rounds of drinks and on both occasions we had to chase them up. It wasn't a large order, just a beer and a soft drink and when we ordered our second round the restaurant became much quieter. In truth, we think the waiter forgot. We understand it was busy but just disappointed we were left waiting. Our second issue is the now added 10% service charge to the bill. Yes it states it is discretionary and you can ask to have it taken off as we always leave a tip wherever we go. We asked our waiter to remove it who seemed shall we say...extremely disappointed at us asking. We don't buy into the fact that 'other eateries are adding a service charge' if this is the excuse, I don't want not only it automatically being added to the bill but also have the minor embarrassment at asking for it to be removed. The waiters seem more interested in providing 'theatre' to the table when your food arrives in way of a dry ice 'show'. On that note, I'm afraid we won't be revisiting until it gets removed.

We have eaten here many times and this was our second Christmas Day visit with Family. Lovely welcome, food was as good as ever and great atmosphere.

Amazing food, really enjoyed evening, the restaurant was full.

Thank you Bombay Quay for a beautiful Christmas dinner beautiful Food and great service well Done everyone. See you again very soon 🎄🎅

Food excellent. Fresh ingredients and no rubbish. Menu excellent. Service and ambience superb. Had chilli prawns with was heaven.

Having just won the AFRA award for the best curry in the North West, it’s officially the best curry around. Service is always great, the food is wonderful and the atmosphere is spot on

Lovely atmosphere, great food which was very tasty. Enjoyable experience.

Went with party of 20 for my birthday. Food excellent,all served at the same time ,food hot. Great atmosphere,good service

Good curry. Plenty of menu choice. Friendly staff. Relatively good pricing, not too expensive. Cocktails are worth a try

Always a good meal here. Staff ate really friendly and service is fantastic

Lovely food and good staff. Everyone loved their food and the place was lushy decorated.

Honestly my favorite indian restaurant I've been to. Brilliant food at a fair price, amazing service and located in an easily accessible spot with some great scenary of the marina if you go on the right day! Definately recommend!

I have lost count of how many times we have visited with friends, family and work colleagues and every time it is amazing. By far the best Indian restaurant i have been to. Atmosphere inside is always great, looks very well kept inside and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I'm not into spicy food myself so i go for the milder dishes and it's always perfect. Can't recommend this place enough!

Ordered Shashlik Korai chicken Tikka as a takeaway. Consisted of 4 pieces of bite size chicken, the rest was onions and green peppers, £15.95 for two onions, not good value.

Ordered a takeaway, Shashlik Korai Chicken Tikka for £15.95. Consisted of 4 bite size pieces of chicken, the rest being large chunks of onion and green pepper. Expensive for 2 onions, not good enough.

Great place to go always a good atmosphere and service top notch and the food is unbelievable

If you order a takeaway CHECK your order before you leave as there is nothing more frustrating than getting home and finding an item missing or food different to ordered, easy to say yet hard to do when the place is super busy and you feel you need to get out the door after paying, happened twice now, will I order a third time-not sure. The food is good, can’t fault it. Maybe have someone in charge of takeaways and bring the reliability back to a level enjoyed by the customers with bums on seats in the restaurant.

First time visit for my Birthday and was so impressed with the amazing friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go again

Very noisy, unable or unwilling to split bill for large party. Confusion over foid and drinks orders.

Lovely food. Great staff but very noisy

This was great restaurant but ourselves and a few of our friends have been recently and it has been very poor

Excellent service from warm friendly waiters in a very comfortable calm environment. We will certainly go again. Well done everyone.

Phenomenal. The whole team made us feel hospitable, welcomed & comfortable. What an awesome, quirky restaurant this is! The interior & exterior is stunning, I can only imagine how beautiful it must look in the summer. We stayed behind after to have a chat with the owner & a few of the staff members, again great to talk to & super friendly! We’ll definitely back when back in the area. Jess & Rita from Notts :)

Absolutely amazing food. Excellent service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended

A poor overall experience. Asked to take a seat and wait until a table became available. Drinks took longer than should be expected to arrive. Delay in taking food order. One main dish arrived 10-15 minutes after the rest of the food. Waiter seemed disinterested. Difficult to hold a conversation due to noise/music levels. Food was ok but nothing amazing unfortunately.

Best restaurant in town in my opinion. Food is always spot on with such lovely flavours and the service is impeccable. Well done guys and see you soon

Food was okay, went for a Pathia which definitely was not a Pathia, more of a massalla. The lamb pieces were the smallest, most stingiest pieces I’ve ever had in a curry before. Every single waiter that served us were extremely miserable and unpleasant. Probably won’t be back.

We ordered a takeaway from Bombay Quay and were thoroughly impressed! I requested the Chicken Tikka Sizzler and Lamb Tikka Sizzler to be gluten-free due to a Celiac dietary restriction, and the team at Bombay Quay did a fantastic job accommodating our needs. The food was beautifully presented and packaged, with high-quality ingredients that really shone through in every bite. The Bombay special sauce on the side was a perfect addition, and the Mushroom Pilau Rice and Pilau Rice complemented the dishes wonderfully. A big thank you to Bombay Quay for their attention to detail and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Overall experience very good. Food was excellent as was the service. Will definitely return soon.

Had a few starters, a takeaway, and they were very dull, bland and boring. Won't buy again. Others locally do very good starters. I have tried the mains in the restaurant and they are ok. These starters were beyond terrible. Zero taste, disappointing. £28 wasted.

Meeting new family members Loved every minute

Rude staff with unnecessary attitude that took our order with an armful of another tables dirty plates after ignoring us for a while, sighing, just grabbing and moving stuff on the table with no regard for us sat there and just no manners whatsoever throughout the whole time we were there. Not asking for 5* dining experience but basic manners is the bare minimum, surely? We only ordered two starters because the atmosphere was uncomfortable anyway and there was a table of screaming kids nearby, the chicken dish was okay but the prawn dish was almost cold and just bland, I would have sent it back or asked to not pay for it specifically on the bill but I hadn’t eaten all day and just wanted to get out of there in all honesty. Waiter knocked some salad off one of the plates with his dirty hands that he’d been collecting other plates with. We were asked at one point if the food was okay but the waiter walked off before we could even answer to give the feedback. One of the other waiters had a football shirt on underneath his top and just so clearly did not want to be there so at least we could agree on that! Not going to come here again because it’s not worth the money which I’m sure is fine with them because they don’t care anyway.

Excellent food and service in a great venue

Nicely finished restaurant that serves good quality Indian food. They have a large menu offering alot of choice. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the beer on draft.

Tasty food. Good portion size. Service was good.

Been here a few times but think it is getting worse and will give the place a miss - service was appalling - very unpleasant waiter who ‘ threw’ the food on the table - forgot who ordered what meal and just did not seem to care. All dishes were just ok - salmon tandoori was well cooked but all mains and sides were in a red curry tandoori sauce- it looked like a tomato sauce display! It’s a good location and is busy on a Friday night but they just want to get you in and out asap- not a great dining experience - find elsewhere if you can

We recently dined at Bombay Quay and had a generally good experience. The food was absolutely excellent, with rich flavors and beautifully presented dishes that truly impressed us. The decor of the place is amazing, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. However, the service was a bit slow, which was a slight downside. Despite this, the staff were friendly and courteous, making sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. Overall, Bombay Quay is a great spot for delicious Indian cuisine in a stunning setting. With a bit of improvement in service speed, it would be perfect.

This was ok. It looks great and everything is well presented. On the downside we felt a bit rushed and to be honest the food was just ok, not anything special. Prices on the higher side.

Large restaurant. Excellent selection of dishes served by friendly, efficient staff. Food quality superb.

Absolutely the best! Best Indian ever xx

Fantastic Indian restaurant. Honestly, just try it.

Been twice before and OK but tonight despite great atmosphere food was pretty poor Onion Bhajis lovely but everything else 2 at most out of 5 My Salmon meal 0 out of 5 Could have got that out of Tesco Wish I could be more complementary as obviously very popular but no patch on Barton Rouge at Chester

Excellent food if a little pricey. Staff very friendly. Not a fan of the dry ice - bit of an odd thing to do. Will visit again Only criticism is the waiter attempted to clear our table of 4 (all the plates, dishes, cutlery ) in one go. Standing very close to me as he piled on the last dish to a wonky pile . My heart was in my mouth that he was going to drop the whole lot on my lap. Maybe make 2 trips in future🤔

Brilliant as always. Highly recommended great food and friendly service.

I would not recommend this restaurant. Service was arrogant, far too familiar and almost laughable how uninterested they were in providing any sort of attentive service. The food was bang average, the chicken tough, starters small, main course was way below the levels I’m used to from a top class Indian restaurant or so I was told this place would be, let along the fact that it was all lukewarm. Not to mention the place needed a good clean. Will not be going back in a hurry.

Exciting place for an Indian meal.Modern take on an old favourite good food and a bit of fun with the dry ice!

Pleasant and bright venue. We tried the lunchtime set menu which was fine.

Very special attention for my partner's birthday. Thank you once again Bombay Quay 😊

Great food and nice atmosphere. Super location looking over the Quay.

Can't fault this place.... And I'm very fussy! Food was excellent... The service is brilliant especially the hot towels mid courses.... And it's busy so you feel you're en trend! The only let-down was no decaf tea... But one of the waiters said when I book next time he'll make sure he has some!!

The food and service at Bombay Quay is consistently excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant very highly.

Yet again, another amazing meal. Food is so tasty. Service is impeccable, our guy was hilarious. 5 star experience.

This restaurant is a must go - literally right next to Waitrose and there’s plenty of parking so you can’t go wrong parking there. I ordered the Desi Lamb with a keema naan and honestly it was so delicious - great balance of Indian spices and it’s above medium-level of spice. It may not look like much but it was so filling. I highly recommend to those that like to explore more authentic Indian spices in a curry that doesn’t mind a bit of spice. They also have dry ice at the table as soon as your food arrives to help set the mood before you start to eat. All the staff were so kind and welcoming.

Beautiful family atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will visit again with my son and his family.

Very busy. Good service. Great food.

Nice modern restaurant, with nice food from a large menu, plenty of options for all tastes. The atmosphere was good and the staff were all very attentive, would definitely go again.

Excellent food. The standard very high with moist meat, rich sauces and fantastic rice and Nan. Bit pricey but worth it. Highly recommended.

Lovely. Great Indian cuisine, presented by attentive staff in an ultra modern setting by the river.

Amazing. 3 dining tonight. Table overlooking the river. My sashlik chicken tikka korai delish. Starters also lovely. Roomy restaurant and good atmosphere. Staff nice and down to earth. Will deffo return.

We’ve been in the UK for a few days now, and as always, it’s of the absolute importance that we get our curry fix (given the less then stellar Indian food in Berlin). As such, this is now Indian curry number 3… Simply put, 5/5 in all areas. The atmosphere, fantastic. Lovely location by the river with a nice overlooking view, and a well decorated interior. Service is also bang on. The waiters are super attentive, friendly, and surprisingly quick (supported by their excellent chefs) at bringing the food out. Granted, it was a Monday night and then restaurant was relatively empty so YMMV on a busier evening. Now to the star of the show, the food… Bloody gurjussssss. Poppadoms arrived promptly along with the chutney tray, accompanied, by special request, with a side of chili pickle and Mr Naga sauce (give it a go if you’re feeling brave/insane). Not a single floppy pop…. Great crisp and just the right amount of oil. If I had to say.. perhaps the onion chutney could have been a touch fresher but this is really nitpicking. Pops 8.5/10. Starters, bahjis and tandoori chicken leg, again were fantastic. The bahji (essentially a cricket ball size deep fried portion of golden onion goodness) was cooked to perfection inside and out. No soggy/wet areas whilst also not getting too dry (a tough one to master). Chicken… great marinade and a lovely char flavour went hand in hand with the succulent meat. Only problem here is making sure you’ve still got room left for the main course…. We did. Starts 9/10 Main courses were lamb tikka naga, chicken tikka garlic chicken, chicken tikks shashlik (with korma sauce), and… some thin like a reshla? Can’t fully remember the last one. There was a perfect gravy consistency across all of our curries and the flavours and heat were very well balanced. The Naga, was amazing! Sure, it was hot, but it wasn’t crazy like it can be. Garlic chicken, lovely, even the korma was great. Cheeky little combo is the naga sauce mixed with a little bit of the Korma (probably a blasphemous event for true Indian food connoisseurs but a tasty one nonetheless. The Reshla (or whatever it was) wasn’t really for me but my brother was certainly happy with it. I was about to write that perhaps a little more lamb tikka in the naga would have been nice. To be fair though, factored in with the rest of the food, it was actually the perfect portion. I will say, I have had better Naans. I’m personally more of a fan of the traditional style bread, slightly larger, with a little more char/bubbles. Mains 9/10. All in all, and washed down with a few cobras, it was brilliant! If you’re in Northwich, and love Indian food, definitely give the BQ a shot. Note - got very drunk afterwards and woke up with an inevitable hangover, hence the long review 😀

We came for a birthday meal last night! Food was amazing and the service was excellent. My sister also got a free cocktail for her birthday. Very welcoming!

A few things to note. I went on a Friday evening at about 6.30pm. Much of the restaurant was set up for large groups which duly arrived as the evening progressed. Don't expect to have any kind of quiet romantic meal as the noise from the groups of neighbouring tables was very loud with everyone competing with each other to be heard. I ordered the tandoori mixed grill. The last time I had one was last year whilst abroad and was really looking forward to it. It was one of the more expensive meals on the menu so I was looking forward to a real feast. My meal arrived on a hot iron plate not much bigger than a large side plate. For the price I paid I would have expected a lot more and was left hungry afterwards. I might add the food was nice and tasty, just the portion size was small. I was also not a fan of the dry ice gimmick they put in a bowl on the table, it overflows all over the table and onto your food.

We finally got around to dining here after hearing so much great feedback. The restaurant is just a nice size, there were a few big parties in when we dined but that didn't interfere with the service, the staff were attentive and the food was great 👍 loved their little touch of "ambiance" overall a nice place to go for an evening meal, we will visit again 😀

Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service.

Superb food. Very busy & as a result pretty noisy on a Saturday night, but they had lots of staff so the service was still good. Will definitely return here.

Honestly one of the best Indian meals I've had in ages. It was excellent. The service was a little slow at times - our onion bhaji didn't turn up until we'd almost finished our main, not the end of the world and they were good enough to take it off the bill but glad it did turn up because it was absolutely banging. And I know my onion bhajis. Aside from a few delays on food or drink turning up, it really was cracking food and wouldn't hesitate to go again. Lovely! Go here if you're in town, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Oh, the peshawari naan was amazing too.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food is really good.

Very slow service and waiters just standing around chatting rather than cleaning tables. We had dirty plates from the popadoms in front of us about 20 mins after finishing and same with the main course dishes. Also despite the restaurant being fairly quiet it still took us nearly 2 hours despite only having popadoms and main courses. Finally I’d also told them in advance it was my daughter’s birthday and had a response from the manager promising to make it special yet nothing was done and when i mentioned to the waiter when asking for the bill he said they didn’t know anything about it so then quickly just brought her a mocktail with the happy birthday music which just felt like and after thought.

2024 went for 40th birthday meal and the staff were very accommodating, helpful and efficient. Food is just as delicious as always and never disappoints! 2023 - Super friendly and helpful staff, always a guaranteed pleaser with the food. Really enjoyed the flavours, depth and taste of everything. Starters were crispy no grease and the mains portions are always generous.

The quality of food is good. But the quantity served is not sufficient specially if you pick a platter. Money wise I would say they are good, service is good and ambience is also very good.

Our samosa starter was very cold in the middle and had to be sent back which spoilt the evening. Plenty of empty tables so can't understand why they then chose to sit a table of 4 right next to us . The food was OK but not the dining experience I expected for the price £70 for 2 and that was after removing the samosas which tbf were hot second time round

Fantastic. No further comment required.

I had food on Saturday 16/3/24 to end up in hospital with food poisoning please people for your own safety chicken madras is a no no.

Recently moved to the area and have been disappointed with the bangadeshi fayre so far, so i was excited to try here as we need to find our new "go-to". And we found it. Nice setting overlooking the river. Decor is modern and comfortable. Ordered some dishes I know well to compare and they were great. Already been back again 😊

Can’t fault this venue. We are local and they always deliver the goods. The staff are accommodating, the food is amazing, atmosphere amazing and you always feel special. We went as a big family gathering and everything was perfect and arrived on time. The best indian for miles around

Without a doubt the best Indian takeaway in Northwich. The food was so flavoursome and tasty. I collected my order which was ready very quickly and the staff were very polite. This will definitely become our local.

Great food, great service, 1st time customers, definitely will be visiting again.

Always look forward to our regular Thursday night family meal out, unfortunately tonight wasn't great. One order main missed off although the rice came out and was cold by the time the main was located and brought out. Also, no chocolates on paying the bill,which came to £200.

Amazing from start to finish. Service and food was excellent.

Excellent service friendly. Food loadsa flavour good quality. Nice brows of canal while eating. Took food home as it was so nice

Beautiful places. Food was delicious and the flavours were amazing. Portion sizes were great. Would definitely be dining here again. The view of the quay was lovely too.

What a lovely experience we had at Bombay Quay! We've lived in Northwich now for two years and only just got round to visiting. The staff were lovely from the minute we walked in, the service was on point and the food was delicious. We will 100% be returning customers, thank you.

We have been to BQ a few times and the food is always excellent. This visit our meal was tasty and served quickly, the staff were attentive and rectified a missing naan bread with no fuss. I think the restaurant is let down in a few areas regarding ambiance. It is loud and busy, good to see a thriving business in Northwich, but it isn't the best for a romantic meal out, if that is what you are after. The general noise is frequently punctuated with a very loud 'happy birthday' recording being played which is disruptive to other diners. The dry ice served with your meal is weird, not at all good for the environment and adds nothing, in fact it distracts, from what is generally a good Indian meal. I'm not sure if the management mistake diners' reactions of bemusement for appreciation, but the shrugs and incredulity we saw indicated that this is not most people's cup of tea. The lighting is on the harsh side and the plastic plants hanging from ceiling tiles, coupled with the plastic wrapped towels, flags a restaurant that could look to do better from considering their plastic use and consumption. Overall food is top notch but the restaurant itself needs to drop the gimmicks and plastic.

Food was excellent albeit, although our carryout order was read back to me twice, there was an item missing which I discovered when I got home.

I have been getting a king prawn palak takeaway here for years. Always tasty, but today I got three miserable prawns. One of the most expensive dishes with todays meal all sauce. Not worth the money!!! Disappointed guys.

First time visiting. Its a great venue if not a bit too loud but not much can be done about that. Food was overall great, nan bread very good, chips could be better, had butter chicken which taste wise was delicious but was very bitty which is not my preference (previously butter chicken has always been with a smooth sauce). My girlfriend loved her salmon. Overall its a great place and we will be visiting again.

Great restaurant the food is excellent and staff are very polite organised and knowledgable. Parking is easy and there's a nice bar next door (Salt House). We use this restaurant regularly for both dining in and takeaway and have always enjoyed our meal I would however make the following observation the takeaway food is now exclusively packaged in single use plastic containers and plastic carrier bags. It used to be packaged mostly in foil and cardboard containers. This presents a practical difficulty keeping the food warm in the oven particularly if you have ordered a number of courses After your meal one is left with a 'mountain' of single use plastic. I understand it can be cleaned and recycled though I suspect this is not always the case? Can I suggest that Bombay Quay look into more sustainable packaging for their takeaway service please. I understand that this brings challenges and is something that needs proper evaluation but there are products out there worthy of consideration. Other restaurants and takeaway services have embraced this approach and it is popular with their customers Bombay Quay is a great restaurant and I submit this review in a positive light while trying to give constructive feedback

Went for the lunch time menu, food was excellent and the staff where very attentive, Lamb Balti was so tasty and was fully loaded with meat the same as the tikka masala, would highly recommend.

This really is the place to go, it's really smart, the staff are well trained and super polite, the food is tiptop and the ambience is great. No wonder it's always busy. Well done Bombay quay.

Another fantastic New Year’s Eve at Bombay Quay. The food and service was amazing as usual. Really enjoyed the entertainment this year as well. Thank you.
