I quite enjoyed the chicken biryani ($20.90, tax included). The presentation was novel with naan as a bowl cover, which was then cut off to expose the biryani. It had generous tender chunks of chicken and I’m glad they did not shy away from the spices. The interior had a good contrast of the dark wood and the colorful mural-like wall coverings.

The food is good but the only non-spicy dish is the butter chicken. Service is fast and the staff is friendly.

Over rated, visited this place after looking at the ratings and many You tube shorts and TikTok reels about the biryanis with the dough wraps, this is a cheap trick. First the biryanis were never cooked in the same bowl, I am sure they just wrapped the dough around the bowl and torched the dough on top, and the biryani was not even fresh, for this they took 45 mins. Since I asked spicy (level-5) they just added red chilly paste into the mix and gave, (Spiciness for a biryani doesn't alone come from red chillis, it has to be the masala flavors). When we ask biryani it is expected to get some onions, and raita along with it, it should not be charged extra. Not at all satisfied with the food or pricing.

Great food and service, place needs to be cleaned and painted inside. Mostly a take out spot.

Really good authentic food and lovely ambience. Definitely recommend their vada pav and butter chicken - so good and very fast service.

Bombay street food is great for chaats (loved the vada pav especially) and authentic Indian entrees. The spice level and flavours are reminiscent of India. Superb hospitality as well.

Delicious food and Good service.

Happy to give them another shot but the saag & Tikka masala were surprisingly flavorless and one dimensional. Also, they both completely lacked spice/heat, we ordered one medium to hot spicy and there was only a touch of heat. The food was to go so maybe it would be better dine in but pretty unimpressed. The best part was the samosas, the chutneys were classic & on point.

Such a great dining! Food, service and everything was great!

The restrooms at Bombay Streetfood in Washington DC had a somewhat unkempt appearance, and it was peculiar to find an opaque door leading directly into the kitchen. Regarding the food, the Butter Chicken leaned towards the sweeter side, predominantly tasting of tomato paste. The $45 Thali included only two pieces of naan, which seemed insufficient given the six different curries provided. The other dishes were reasonably good, but overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this restaurant again

Chicken biryani is the worst that I ever eaten! Appearance seems perfect but tastes cheap and not fresh. I tasted garlic naan as well it seems it is not fresh. Definitely 2 out of 10.

We went there with high hopes with my wife tonight but experience was not satisfactory. Firstly service was bad. Every 10 min someone show up for some reason and it was disturbing while having a convos.and I ordered lamb vindaloo and basmati rice with garlic nan. I can’t complain!Rice was good! However, My wife ordered chicken tikka masala and basmati rice but her chicken tikka masala was terrible, she couldn’t even eat because there was no flavor and it was definitely not a tikka masala, we had this dish, in Istanbul, Budapest and NewYork because this dish is really one of our fav and never experienced such a bad chicken tikka masala every. It was sad for her!Restaurant needs to check that receipt or the chef I don’t know. Atmosphere was alright, I like the old movie posters cover the wall on the left but paintings on the wall was very bad and it seems very cheap, it seems like lots of labor but no art in it!So atmosphere was average!

Delicious food. Community oriented. Good drinks. Great spot. You won't be dissapointed!

Thalia for two!! Crispy spinach appetizer is very unique & tasty. Lots of food, likely leftovers. Also do take out monthly for book club.

There food was ok!! But the sad part is there is no SRK’s picture on the wall painting & it’s not fair😏😏.

This is my go-to for celiac safe takeout near me. Communication about allergies can be a bit difficult in person, but I’ve never gotten glutened from BSF. Recommend the butter chicken- very tasty!

Some of the best lamb korma I ever had!! I will definitely will be back.

I love the platter for 2 ! It's simply wonderful to be able to try so many curries and combine flavors with the chutney. The food here is so so good! A must try

Do not order any vegetarian food . Absolutely sucks to the core . Only good for meat lovers . People eating vegetarian food will regret this place for sure

Perfect place to have ethnic, soulful, whole Indian food. Reminiscent of Indian memories. Special credits to the service and staff, and Mr. Nur, the manager who was so hospitable. Must visit.

Delicious food and great hospitality

Excellent, tasty food. Attentive service. Short wait for our food to come out. Great prices.

BSF has great takeout. Chicken biryani and gobi manchurian are my personal go to dishes. Good portions and flavor. Mango chutney is also fire.

We went in for dine in, one of the staff said that they are closed for dine in, so we ordered for takeout. But they seated the people that arrived after us. Felt really disappointed. Food is just ok. Pav bhaji curry is sweet and tasted more like mixed vegetable curry.

Consistently Delicious Food with Room for Improvement I've dined here before and have always been delighted by the flavors. The Indian chats, in particular, have been a personal favorite. During my recent visit, the chats lived up to their usual delicious standard. However, I decided to try something new and ordered the Veg Kohlapuri, and unfortunately, I was left disappointed. Traditionally, Veg Kohlapuri is known for its spiciness, but this time, it tasted more like a mild veg kurma, lacking the expected kick. We ordered several items, and I must commend the kitchen for their lightning-fast service. On the flip side, the wait staff, while friendly, could improve in terms of attentiveness and coordination. It seemed our server was relatively new, as he brought all the dishes at once after I had requested the chats to be served first, followed by the main course. Despite these minor hiccups, I highly recommend the restaurant for its consistently delicious food. There's certainly room for improvement, but the flavors are worth the visit.

Dine in service here isn’t the best, they are relatively inattentive and it can become a game to get a workers attention. Nonetheless, the food makes up for it! I’m convinced they have the Best Dahi Puri in DC. My only complaint about the food would be that it’s quite over priced. There are far cheaper Indian restaurants with good quality food and better customer service.

Pretty authentic for an Indian restaurant in DC

Was very ambient place,good Indian music. The server was kind. We had Vegetable Pakora which comes with Tea,Mango Lassi,Samosa Chat. Goat curry and Chicken chilly. But the chicken chilly was sweet and didn’t taste like chicken chilly. But overall good.

A descent Indian restaurant in DC with Good service. No parking onsite, paid parking near Giant supermarket.

Every other weekend I order Spicy Goat Curry and Chicken Biryani. So glad to have such authentic Indian flavor food in DC. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ If you are desi try this place. You won’t get disappointed

Amazing!!! Daughter and I just happened to try Bombay out and boy are we glad we did!!! Service was great - kind and helpful. Food was outstanding. We keep saying, this is amazing after each bite. Don’t hesitate - try this place and you won’t be disappointed.

Really good chat options and plenty of veg and non veg options. Pau Bhaji was so so but other items were delicious like the samosa chast

Worst.dont waste your time and money. Looking at reviews and ratings cane here but very disappointed.not a taste. Never ever recommend to anyone

Good restaurant in Washington. Food is not so spicy. V enjoyed the food, the name of the hotel is only street food, but food is like a star hotel

If you like Pav Bhaii, just try theirs and it's just MIND-BLOWING, you'll love it. But the samosa Chaat and Parantha that we tried wr55 not that great. Aloo Gobhi Parantha was too bland, without Spice/even salt. The Rasmalai was plain white with no safron or taste.

Food was ok and taste is just average. Service is not good. Feels very expensive.

I dined in once and was not a huge fan of the service but that was two years ago or so. Now I get takeout from this place at least once a month. They are generally on time and very easy to pickup from. The food is fantastic. The best butter chicken and tikka masala I’ve ever had. Serving sizes for me can even make two meals. I also love the chili chicken and samosas. When I’m feeling in the mood for a fresh cold dish, I go for the behl puri, if you love onion and cilantro with a crunch texture and rich taste, that is the dish you should give a chance. I may give dining in another shot, but takeout is so convenient and the food is just always fantastic and consistent!

Bhel is really good. Besides that all other food is bland in taste. Vada pav was very oily and they don’t serve green chilly with it(one expectation when restaurant is named Bombay Street Food) and not authentic at all. Mutton Biryani had no flavor/taste and was one of the blandest biryani I’ve had. Even the fennel seeds were soggy.

There is the authentic Indian flavor in Bhel Puri.

The oil in the food was excessive. The vada pav was extremely high in salt content. The garlic naan was low quality. The chilly chicken was bland and you could almost taste the artificial color. The pav bhaji was dripping in oil. I went to pick up my order and the ambience in the restaurant seemed fine but the service was poor. I'm not going back here and would not recommend to a friend.

Everything was fully sweet. Biryani wasn’t hot at all.

I recommend anyone who likes vegetarian Indian food nearby to check it out. Vada pav and gobhi manchurian are excellent. Channa masala is quite good, too. The naan is not great, but all the other styles of roti are good—get one of them instead. The veg biryani is (usually) very well seasoned but they use obviously frozen vegetables, which sucks because it’d be pretty great otherwise. Spice level varies somewhat day to day, but the flavors are nearly on par with vegetarian food I ate in India. Overall, though, the disappointing quality of the vegetables brings it down a star. Nice employees and open late, though!

Outstanding food. Authentic dishes and great service.

Excellent food and service definitely recommend. Tried the lamb stir fry, lamb was so soft, tender and tasty. The pizza is also excellent

Chef was really awesome. He really understood our needs and served our big gang of people, with varying dietary restrictions and choices so well!

Not a place for vegetarians… veggie people can have only snacks here - as per my wife Heaven for non-vegetarians. Must try chicken Biriyani and red chili chicken… gave 5 stars for these only.

This place is amazing!! Such great customer service and even better food!!!! Best Indian Food in DC!

When you walk in the restaurant it looks AMAZING! But we had to ask 3 times to be served and seated. Before the 3rd time we asked, they sat and served a family that just walked in and it seemed like they wanted to avoid us. Not really a friendly vibe from some of the workers. Even the table beside me seemed like they were having an issue with them as well. Also, the food wasn’t worth the wait.

The best Indian food in town! I’ve yet to have a disappointing dish or service. The staff are friendly and attentive! The Paneer Tikka Masala is my particular favorite, but it’s all good!

Food was below average. Baji in Pav Bhaji smelt almost rotten. Using frozen veggies for curries. I don't know how these kind of places get ratings that they don't deserve even remotely.

The food was REALLY delicious & the service was great!! A delightful dining experience indeed😋👌🏽👍🏽🙌🏽!! Highly recommend it!!

i never eat like nasty food and so expensive so bad Food was chicken masala🤮🤢🤮🤢🤑

great authentic indian food! me and my indian & white friends all enjoy every time we go!

Dahi Puri was okay, biryani just average not so warm , didn’t like the chicken Manchurian. I came here all the way from MD but disappointed. Also customer service just ok.

Wow. We got takeout tonight for the first time. We got chicken dishes, opting for mild. The taste was good, until it quickly seemed far more spicy than expected. If this truly was mild, I can’t fathom what “Bombay spicy” would be. We were also a little surprised to find the naan side only came with a single piece, though on the larger end.

From the moment I stepped into the restaurant it was peaceful, great service and the food quality is one the best I've tasted in DC yet!. I can't wait to go back.

I tried the Pav Bhaji, veg Kolhapuri and garlic naan. The garlic naan was amazing. Pav bhaji was fine, I have had better. Kolhapuri was something that was different. I was expecting a mic veg with a red gravy that is spicy and has a zing. However, it was not spicy and had a coconut based gravy which was a different twist. It was not bad but not what I was expecting.

Went with friends for Saturday dinner, ordered vegetarian and non veg Thali. Food was okay but the American version of Indian food. Overall a good experience.

Vada pav and pav bhaji so good.

A great first time experience. Everything was amazing!

Worst food I ever had, veg kolhapuri which we ordered had coconut base and curry leaves in it, no vegetables added , they just opened a pack of frozen vegetables and added some ,.

Absolutely the Best Indian food in the tri-state area!!!! Curry goat was the best! Highly recommend. The staff is wonderfully pleasant as well.

We only ordered chaat so our rating for food should be understood in that context. Samosa chaat was very good, but Raggda Pattis wasn't. The pattises were overcooked (perhaps recooked a few times because it didn't sell?) and didn't use the traditional peas based gravy but used the same chickpeas as samosa chaat. I wouldn't recommend ordering Raggda Pattis here.

Horrible service and food. Used to be good not anymore. I would avoid

Everything here has been a hit. The vada pav is delicious

I decided to try this restaurant after my friend could not make up her mind. And it proved to be a very good decision. This is a great place to satisfy your craving for Indian cuisine. One of the things I love about this place is they will dail in the level of spicyness to suit the customer's preference! I ordered the keema Pav Bhaji appetizer (ground chicken and lamb). This was my first time trying this dish 😋. And it will not be my last. It was outstanding! And the quantity easily could make this an entree. I ordered the lamb biryani and to my surprise it was served in the dish it was prepared in and was covered with Naan. The lamb was moist and tender. The quantity served was more than enough for two separate meals. The flavors of both dishes were over the top. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant I would recommend this establishment. The only downside is they don't serve any cocktails but they have an extensive wine selection. Other than that I say this is a must try! I will definitely be returning!!! There are several other dishes on their menu that I am definitely going to try.

We brought our family here last minute and their delicious food saved our evening! Friends recommended it and we are happy they did! The staff recommended a few dishes for us to try and every single dish was delicious & cooked perfectly. Our table of 5 had 3 dishes with rice and naan bread and we are still taking some home. Honestly, we are excited to come back. We let them know we’ll show up and will be excited to have whatever they feel like making. We know it will be good. Our new, favourite place close to home. Thank you for the lovely, delicious dinner!

The biryani was good… but the tikka masala was not. The chicken was really chewy and dry despite being in that sauce. It was over cooked and lacked flavor

Horrible staff!!! Waited for almost five mins before I got greeted with unhappy face. Asked water no ice which I didn’t get. Other tables have lemon mint water. But not my table. Just asked to bring me to go boxes and left.

Chicken tikka masala is varey bad

The best Indian food in Columbia Heights

Thali is not fresh, feels like cooked a day before.

The food is amazing, this was my fifth visit and fifth dish, and it's all fantastic. When they say a dish is spicy, pay attention! The sides, Naan especially, are well worth getting. The staff are pleasant and helpful.. Would recommend Bombay Street Food to anyone. High quality food in a nice setting.

This could just be a one-off experience as I visited during Diwali 2022, which is a notably busy time for South Asian culture. They were definitely understaffed to manage the volume of people coming in, which is no one’s fault but the employer. Food wise, we ordered samosa chaat, pav bhaji, sekh kebab, paneer tikka masala, naan, and chai. The pav bhaji, chaat, and paneer were all great, with good flavor and spice. The bad food were the kebabs, naan and chai. Half of the kebabs were HARD, as if they were frozen and then reheated very quickly. We could not bite into them. The naan was flat and crispy, when naan should be soft and fluffy. The chai was also pretty flavorless and tasted like the milk had gone bad. Shortly after taking it to go, I had to dump it out. End of the night we spent about $90 for two people, and due to understaffing, it took us a few tries to get the attention of an employee to get the check. I would give this place one more chance I feel, but it was not a great experience for my first time and I know $90 could have been put to better use.

Food was really good. All the stuff were really nice except the guy in black shirt. May be he was little stressed out. He should be welcoming and smile a bit. Customers go there to buy food not to beg. So smile buddy.

We love most dishes we get here and it's our go-to Indian spot. We exclusively get takeout, and sometimes the service isn't great: significantly delayed food, missing items, and strange pricing. A note on the pricing, we just noticed that for palak chat the menu price is $7, on UberEats it's $8, and when we ordered it over the phone it was $10 (no intermediary service). The explanation I got was that the $10 included tax, but it definitely doesn't (total was $11 with tax). The extra few dollars don't make a big deal, it just seems a little fishy.

Good food. Even though we didn’t have any reservations they arranged table for us quickly.

Wonderful food and amazing service! it's my go to for takeout.

20/10 Never had Indian food before but when I say my food was made with loveee. You won’t be disappointed I wish I can show you guys my food but it got demolished.

Skip this place...very mediocre Indian food.

All dishes had the same gravy and same taste. It was like baby food without any taste

I have had the best dahi puri here. Also the vada pav is nice. Biriyani 🥰😋.Plenty of parking options and there's always one last table waiting for me! The rates are reasonable and I loved the taste

I have been a lover of Indian food since I was a student in London in the mid seventies. Bombay Street Food is true to the traditional dishes and preparations that I love. Best garlic naan in DC. Samosa and pakora were perfectly prepared. some terrific house specialties, and a very decent wine list at better than decent prices. I order three times what I can eat, so I can take home enough for two more meals, at a price that is not much more than what a single meal would cost at many competitors that I don’t like as much. I have not been to their other locations yet, but I will go!

This place has the best Indian food I’ve had in DC! The vibe is great in all locations and service is attentive and so kind. Eddy, the owner, helped my business partner and I and gave us the royal treatment. We will definitely be back- thank you!

My dining experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The food came out fast and was delicious and hot! Not to mention, the staff!!! Our waiter was amazing and so was the chef!!! I will definitely frequent this establishment regularly moving forward!

First place we went after arriving in DC and was very excited for the food. The waiter never greeted us and instead stood next to us and waited for our order. After we received the samosas (which were good according to my other guest) we found a live and crawling bug in the food, specifically the sauce. We immediately canceled our order and left horrified. Two stars simply because the samosas were good but I do not recommend.

I have been trying to find a good Indian restaurant for a while. This one wasn't very good. There are a lot of employees in the restaurant, but they do not seem to all have a task. Every time we needed something we had to flag someone down. The tables are too small for four people to sit at. Several groups either moved tables or moved two tables to improve the eating surface. Every wine request too 10 minutes to fill. The restaurant does not serve liquor only beer and wine. Tandoori wings: A little spicy, good flavor, nice and moist. Definitely enjoyed the wings and so did my friend at the table. Tandoori salmon: A little spicy and super dry. I could barely eat it. I know tandoori can be a bit dry but the salmon essential had a hard shell around it because it was so dry.

Rubbish food. The breads were dry and stale didn’t even have butter on it. I have never eaten a Manchurian dipped in tomato ketchup. We pretty much left the whole food as it is. The curries were pathetic

Delicious food, the plain and galrli naan, goat and lamb are tender and flavorful and the dhal is soo good.... it's reasonably priced. We had the dinner for 2 and got to taste a little of everything... I'd definitely go back.. Only complaint is it could be a little cleaner .. the pictures on the wall are dusty.

Loved this place! Delicious food and friendly staff. Very clean. Great prices for the quality.

sooooooo goood!!! and excellent, speedy service!!! :)

Definitely beautiful place to visit the food it is amazing and delicious

One of the best Indian restaurants in the DC area. The Vada pav and Pav Bhaji are off the hook. Very authentic.

The servers and service in general was absolutely amazing, and the food was top-notch too! I’m from India and I always miss home (not just the food but the people too) and everyone here made me feel so at home! Will definitely be back! Also the music was amazing early 2000s vibes.

food was good but customer service was awful. the staff was quite rude

Good appetizers and nice chicken biriyani.

I didn't visit the restaurant but we had their food at work. Very good!

Is this what white people call Indian food?! Yikes!!

We ordered two Biryani, that were spicy otherwise taste free. They were delivered blended in a plastic tray not layered in bread as shown in the pictures. We had an additional order of Naan with our third dish that was not delivered at all. I called and was refunded $3.00 on a total order of $83. Service is not great :( . There are lots of restaurants in this neighborhood, go elsewhere!
