Food was amazing as always. In particular the two speciality menus are always worth a look. I had the chicken sagwaala which is an incredible dish, very tasty, but not over spicy. Service was good. Never had a bad meal in here and been coming for 30 years.

Dunno why it’s rating is so low compared to other places nearby, always have a nice curry whether eaten in or taken away. Nice staff, great service and as good a curry as anywhere else nearby.

One of the better tasting chana curries I've tried , my food was actually packaged delivery. Only thing is the fried puri with it wasn't in a separate paper bag and so was sorta soggy as it was in the same container as the curry. Overall decent food shame the packaging decision let the quality decline.

Bombay Restuarant's atmosphere was good, clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and good. We ordered plain Naan. But we got butter naan with full of oil. Also we ordered butter chicken. The dish we got was like sugar added pumpkin curry. We couldn't eat it even. The dhal curry dish what we got average in taste. I have been so many indian restaurants in India and Sri Lanka. I know the real taste of Indian foods. But this is the worst Indian meal I ever had.

Delivered very quickly, but all the papadoms were not just broken, but smashed into crumbs. Called the restaurant, but they blame the courier driver stating the moment it is pass to the courier it is Just Eat's responsibily. It's not the first time I've had a problem and the restaurant passes the blame. The restaurant really couldn't care less. We eat in the Bombay regularly. I now couldn't care less about loyalty. There are plenty of other restaurants to eat in or take away.

Gone downhill over the years! I cannot believe how good this place used to be compared to how it is now. Every touch point was shocking, 3 hours for a meal for 4 . Even had to ask for a menu after an hour of sitting there. Had to keep going to the bar to get drinks etc. They did look short staffed so I was sympathetic but the service became diabolical, I have never had cold rice n and Indian now have I had cold onion baji’s. Even when we did finally get the bill we had to call back the waiter to pay, we asked twice if we were getting the usual free Baileys at the end to be told they would have to ask the owner… I saved my dignity and didn’t ask again. This is such a shame, I’ve been going to the restaurant for over 30 years but tonight they all seemed like headless chickens, terrible service and cold food!

I spent £38 pounds and was very disappointed. The prawns in the tandoori king prawn masala were not prawns. It was some other sea creature. Very rubbery. The tandoori chicken tasted like old meat. The saag also was 3 out of 10. The best thing on the plate. The cook has lost the love for cooking. I will look up on YouTube on how to make the dish and cook my own. Sorry about the not so good review.

Not been here for a few years as they deported the chef and it went down hill. Tonight we gave it another try. It is worse than it was before. The King prawn purie was the smallest prawns ever and just tasted of tomatoes. The rogan was as bland as hell, I’ve never had to add salt to an Indian but tonight I needed a lot just to give it any taste. Don’t waste your money because it far from reasonably priced!!!

We were both sorely disappointed and would not consider returning. The staff were not welcoming. They showed no care . When our dishes were served, he just plonked the plates down. The onion bhajis were not edible, they tasted of oil, so much so I spat mine into a tissue. My main was served warm and lacked any flavour. We both left the majority of our food behind, yet nobody asked if there was a problem. The staff lacked any care, charisma or consideration towards the customer. They only had about 20 per cent occupancy and I'm really not surprised. Very disappointed 😞😞

Extremely expensive Had dinner there tonight, with a friend, the only people in the restaurant, not even a takeaway whilst we were there. Extremely expensive was charged £18.90 for two martini and lemonade’s bearing in mind, a martini should be served as a standard 50 mL measure. They are counting this as a double I don’t even know if this is legal has martini should always be sold as a 50 mL measure, and the price is normally the same as a 25 mL measure of any other spirit. £70 bill for four drinks, two starters, one main one rice and one side I think is extremely expensive compared to other restaurants

It's soo sad to see a once highly regarded restaurant turn into a dead pan place to visit. The service is appallingly slow, with waiters who had no charisma, conversation or care. We were there for 2 hours waiting for a main dish, all the while takeaway orders were flying out the door. We had to ask twice for a drink and 3 times for the bill and the restaurant was 2/3 empty! Clearly their focus is on online orders now whereas before you either had ti collect or eat in. They aren't cut out for both. The food was good, not wonderful as it was before covid. Before i would never go anywhere else for my indian, now i do not see the appeal in using the Bombay. They have nothing over any of the other local restaurants. Whoever the current owners are need to inject some life back into the place, or at best a waiter who isnt running takeaway orders over waiting tables. Very dissatisfied at the restaurant, i wont be rushing back any time soon.

As above ,I have been coming here for 30 years with my wife, always welcome and great food, however there seems to be a change in the family or management running it, its just not the same, my wife ordered a vegetarian meal, which ended up being meat, not sure what meat, when questioned the waiter said they had given her the wrong meal, no apologies, no nothing, remember the old days when the drinks would have been free, or that meal.

Ten years ago I was a regular here and highly rated this place. It had a great reputation in the local area, but since covid it has gone down the pan very rapidly. Used to go about once a month but now maybe twice a year - different waiters every time but same indifferent food and higher prices! And I make better onion bhajis at home rather than the dried offerings at this place.

I've been using the Bombay for a few years now as it's close to where I work. Unfortunately the taste of the food has gone down recently and the last time we had food from there (11/22) it was quite bland and no salt whatsoever. I hope this is only temporary as it used to be fantastic.

First time eating here, I had the tandoori salmon which had no flavour, it come with nothing and when I asked for the salad I got some scappy bits of lettuce spread out on a plate, I asked if I could have some sauce to put on my salmon as it had no flavour, the manager came and said he would take it and put some sauce with it what did I want bhuna or masala? I said masala it took him ages then when it came back it was bhuna sauce, I then said I asked for masala he then took my salmon again for ages and it came back with a masala looking sauce on it which also didn't really taste of anything, my partner had the rogan josh which was not hot and had no flavour, all in all this was the worst Indian we've had and we would not recommend to anyone!

Over 40 years of eating in indian restaurants (my favourite cuisine) and this experience started badly and got worse. Cold onion bajee served as a starter when we ordered it as a side dish was reluctantly changed by the grumpiest manager you could ever imagine! He then spent the rest of the meal angrily striding past our table and staring at my son and I. Oh and overcooked dry chicken dish to follow. Definitely won't be returning!

Waited an hour to be asked for our drinks order, at least half an hour after the drinks were given out to be given the menu for the food, for one of our guests to CHOKE on a bone. The owner told her “it’s just a bone” and snapped it and walked away. He was extremely rude. Then there was another bone found in another dinner. The waiter couldn’t apologise enough though. It’s a shame that the owner had to be so rude about it. If you’re planning on an Indian, pay slightly more and go up the road a tiny bit to the village indiya

My husband and I have been avoiding Indian food for a while as we never seem to have a decent meal. We received a leaflet through the door and thought we’d give a takeaway a try. We are so glad we did, the food was absolutely outstanding; so tasty and fresh and the chicken just melted in our mouths. We will definitely be reordering from here. The delivery man was also wonderful!

Usually I have had positive experiences at voujon but tonight I waited an hour and a half with poor feedback from staff. I had to ask repeatedly to place an order and was not the only impatient diner, with all the surrounding tables unhappy with their service. I hope I caught voujon on a bad day, because it seems the staff were under the influence of some kind of opioid. Very disappointed.
