This really is a good restaurant. The food was very good, the portion sizes are amongst the largest I have seen at an Indian restaurant and the service was really friendly. Will be back!

We are a family of 5. We ate dinner here. Service outstanding. Very attentive and friendly. Food delicious and big portions. We couldn't finish it all, so we got given our leftovers to take home. Food was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend it. The kids loved it, too.

The best Indian cuisine we’ve ever tasted, a really positive experience from the attentive staff to the delicious food. We’d popped in after searching on Google Maps for an Indian restaurant whilst visiting Cromer, there were plenty to choose from but this one stood out with its excellent rating. We had the mixed platter to start with lamb and chicken tikka pieces, onion bhaji and veggie samosa. It was very well spiced, and went down well, with the selection of beers they had. Onto the mains, my partner had a veggie passanda and I had the chicken version. We had a peshwari naan and pilau rice. The meat was very well cooked and spiced, the vegetable dish was very flavoursome too. Overall the best Indian cuisine we’ve ever had. It really topped off our holiday, thank you for the experience with your friendly, smiley, helpful staff. Ian & Helen

Ordered in due to working in the area overnight. First off, the guy on the phone was straight talking, honest and easy to order from. I ordered an array of items and everything was tasty. I asked for the madras to be extra hot and they took care of it. It blew a large whole in my undies. Old school flavours, not modern and fragrant like a lot of them are turning into these days. Not absolutely perfect but deliveries never are, the mint sauce had some small yoghurty lumps in and one of the boxes had leaked out in the bag. Overall though, decent portions and tasty. Prices haven't been hiked up like they have everywhere else so you can actually enjoy your dinner knowing you haven't been robbed. Bog standard Indian restaurant that does what it says on the tin. Thumbs up!

Had a lovely evening celebrating my husband and friends' birthdays. Place was full to bursting when we arrived but seated quickly. We had to ask for drinks about 30 minutes after we arrived, as the table next to us, who arrived 10 minutes later, were served first and no sign of a waiter coming over. We ordered drinks and poppadoms while deciding what to order. We again had to ask to order our main after another long wait and ordered further drinks. We had to keep asking where the drinks were, and 45 minutes later, we got them. Even though they seemed understaffed for the evening, the waiters were polite and friendly. The food was piping hot and delicious as always. We will definitely be back.

2 hours waiting on a Sunday, told 40 mins. Called multiple times driver in the road for at least an hour, food was stone cold when it arrived. Lack of customer service failed to call back when promised, also wrong dish supplied on top of the hassle. Would never recommend or use. In response: At no time was a car issue mentioned, also I can assure you food was stone cold and also as a reminder a wrong dish.

The food here is normally great. I travel from Watton to Dereham as the only Indian restaurant in Watton is not up to standard. The meal tonight was lovely except for the Peshwari naan which let them down. I was disappointed as it was full of coconut a bit too much actually, but nothing else! It is supposed to have sultanas, raisins and almonds too but there was none. It is described on their menu as " fruity naan" but there was no fruit and so it was dry and powdery. I didn't enjoy it at all so I will be sticking to plain naan in future. A shame as a travel 20 mins to get my meal. I would still recommend if you are close to Dereham though, like I said, usually very good food

I have used Bombay a couple of times now as I usually use Spice Fusion and thought I would give these guys a chance. The curries we have had from here have all been delicious and very flavoursome, you get huge chunks of meat and plenty of rice. Last time they gave us extra poppadums and extra sauces which was nice - plus you get a very generous amount of onion salad. This time we decided to try the onion bhajis and samosas which admittedly I wouldn't purchase again only because you get three tiny samosas for £3.50 which isn't really worth it (although they were delicious) and the onion bhajis were nice but way too oily for me. We have never eaten inside the restaurant, only ever had takeaways but the food has always arrived piping hot and within the time frame given. Reasonably priced for what you get aswell, would highly recommend.

Lovely food, not so sure about the restaurant itself. Service reasonable. We were a little cramped where we sat. It all was going ok until we asked for our leftovers to be boxed, seemed a bit put out. Our view on that is that we paid for it, and we can take it home. We think it's best for large parties as obviously they spend more, but the food was excellent. We probably will use as a takeaway in future.

On three consecutive occasions our order has arrived wrong. Three spoilt meals and real bad customer service. Very disappointing. Interesting how the owners immediate response is to always lie and say we didn't use the service or raise it to their intention. I am a regular reviewer which suggests that it isn't untrue. I review everywhere I use, maybe the owner could apologise rather that pretend it never happened. I have added an image of our last visit to show the lefts overs (there was a lot which people couldn't eat) PS - The owner have now changed their response to what should have been the initial response.

Have not been hear for some some after our last bad experience, we should have stayed away, this wasn’t much better. I asked what beer they had , he pointed to menu as I wanted a bottle , menu said bottle was £2.50 so I ordered one , At the end of the meal,I had to pull a long black hair from my Bhaji, I laughed it off until I had to do it again from the pakora, Then came the bill, £5.00 for the bottle of beer. The menu said £2.50. The receipt showed i was charged for a 660ml bottle (not on menu) yet the bottle was 650ml , We won’t be back anytime in near future

Absolutely disgusting, gave 2 hours notice under booking name of Reed and pre-ordered this evening. My partner got there and waited an additional 30min whilst others who hadnt pre-ordered walked in got served and there food way before him. Got home with cold food, overcooked burnt chicken in both curry's, soggy naan and burnt extremely crispy onion bhaji's and samosas. £30 down the drain. That fact that your making out your customers are liars when I wouldn't have wasted my time writing the review I had if your food and service had been up to scratch, speaks volumes. We will not be using your services again.

Really quick delivery (after only 15 mins) BUT......... When the driver arrived my food was a total of £36.95. I gave the driver £40 and he said he didn't have change. He didn't even apologise for the lack of change. Had he of offered me my change I would of tipped him for being so quick. When I served the popadoms up they were soggy. The onion bhajis were way too greasy. The onion rice was far too greasy too. The balti I ordered had red peppers in which had no place to be there. The garlic and onions were raw and crunchy. If I could have given no stars then I would. I DEFINITELY would not recommend this place and certainly never use them again. The order was for Claire. Garlic chicken tikka balti x2 , popadoms and pickle tray, onion rice x2 and garlic chilli naan x2. The delivery was really quick which was excellent but as for the food it was appalling.

Staff were brilliant and very friendly. Food was delicious and good sizes. I have been to indian restaurants up and down the country and wouod definitely be going here again when i am in the area. The one critique I would give is that the restaurant floor could have a little less on it. I am guessing the kitchen is fairly small. This wasnt enoigh to drop a star, just an opinion. If you are in the area looking for somewhere to eat, give it a go. . . Reply The fridges/freezers on the restaurant floor would be better elsewhere. If it is a space thing then that's fine. It doesn't takeaway from the quality of food.

If you are looking to order a takeaway (and at the moment that’s about all you can do) don’t bother. I was quoted an hour for delivery and had to wait an additional 40 minutes before it arrived. And it wasn’t hot. Why is a town the size of Dereham so badly served by the Indian restaurants in town. Spice fusion is dire and the Bombay not much better.

We recently ordered takeout from Rose of India, hoping for a delicious Indian meal, but sadly, it was a complete disappointment. The flavors were far from what we expected, and overall, the experience was very underwhelming. We ordered the prawn kurma, which ended up being the biggest letdown. The dish had an overwhelmingly sweet flavor that tasted completely artificial. It was so off-putting that we could barely eat it. The sweetness overpowered everything, making it impossible to enjoy the prawns or any of the other spices that should have been in the dish. We also tried the chicken Malayan, but unfortunately, it didn't fare much better. The flavors were bland and lacked the richness that we usually associate with Indian cuisine. We won’t order from this restaurant again.
