Bombaylicious in Croydon

Yesterday was the second time of visiting Bombaylicious, and have left writing a review until now as one visit isn’t enough to gauge the overall standard of food and service. If anything, the second visit surpassed the first. The food is absolutely incredible, delivered with a friendly service. Bombaylicious is now definitely my go-to place for a curry. It’s a small place, by the way, but don’t let that put you off. I can guarantee it is well worth a visit and would highly recommend it to anyone.

What an amazing place and can't believe I've not eaten here sooner!! A friend had told me that I needed to try the butter chicken and it did not disappoint. In fact everything we ate was of the highest quality. Sometimes you'll find Indian restaurants serve their food and there's always this thick layer of oil on top of their dishes, but not here. Cooked to perfection. You could just taste that their dough for the naan was fresh. Cheese naan was so soft and tasty. I cannot wait to visit again!!

Decided with friends to go out for an Indian dinner tonight and it had to be Bombaylicious. Everything we ordered was 10/10! For starters we had Samosa chaat, Allu Tikkis and the new Spring Rolls which have that authentic Chinese flavour. For mains we ordered Paneer Butter Masala, Pulao Rice, Spicy Fries, Chillie Cheese Naan and Garlic Naan! The food and service here always surprises the previous experience! To sum up how much we enjoy Bombaylicious, it takes us an hour to drive there and it's totally worth the trip!

We had a delicious takeaway from this restaurant. Great menu and the food was delicious. Would definitely order from them again.

Great food, friendly service, highly recommended. The menu is really varied and only the second time in 25 years that I have been able to order chicken kalimirch.

terrible food. terrible service. avoid this awful establishment. this is not indian food. my whole family was disappointed. never again

I reviewed this restaurant last year and were happy to go again last night This is one of the best Indian restaurants in London - really! If you like The Cinnamon Club you will love this! Completely new exciting and innovative menu - cooked to perfection - fresh ingredients and unusual combinations that work brilliantly Highly recommend Malai Broccoli, Moilee Prawns and Tawa Crab with the most soft and fluffy butter naans - Superb! Cordon bleau cooking at high street prices What’s not to like! Don’t judge a book by its cover June 7th ( October review) Amazingly fresh tasty food Looks uninviting and possibly a bit tacky but the food was so good - we have very high standards! As did this lovely restaurant

Not a fan tbh. Food tasted flavourless. Nan bread was grainy. Service was awful. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Overpriced and not worth a penny. Absolute shambles of an Indian. Do not waste your money here.

Dreadful takeaway Very very spicy . Hottest tikka and tike masala ever . Sauces were watery and had a similar flavour …. Even the vegetable curry . Would not go back !

Consistently good! We had another gorgeous meal from here. Really nice food. Great if you’re vegan. Onion pakora the best we’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and the food was so varied fresh and very delicious. We have eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years and love the classic dishes but Asad and his team have taken things up a notch at Bombaylicious. We ate in and loved the dishes that were recommended to us as well as the presentation and attentive service. Would highly recommend.

We arranged for Bombaylicious to deliver the food for a family birthday party of 16 people. We discussed a special menu in advance that catered for a range of tastes, some dishes less spicy than others. The food was superb and delivery was at the time agreed. Thank you, Asad and team.

We received excellent hospitality at Bombaylicious . The food was amazing. Beautifully spiced and will suit a wide variety of tastes. Menu had a wide choice. The wait staff were very knowledgeable about the dishes and origins of the food. Everything cooked to perfection and piping hot to table. We will definitely visit again. A great place to eat for any hungry diner looking for fresh ingredients, cooked beautifully and served with commendable service .

Great food, fantastic flavours and attention to detail with the food, plus good service, very happy we tried this place

Amazingly fresh tasty food Looks uninviting and possibly a bit tacky but the food was so good - we have very high standards! As did this lovely restaurant

What a fabulous and cozy little restaurant with exceptional and unusual cuisine - a real 5* Indian experience with friendly and attentive service to boot 😄

Lovely meal with some different choices on the menu. Very tasty curry and the best chilli 🌶 and cheese naan 🧀 I've ever had! Super friendly and accommodating service. Food was a very reasonable price too. Only slight negative was the amount of deliveroo drivers collecting takeaways constantly wasn't great for ambiance, but I guess that shows how popular the food is. Highly recommended. Would be back if it wasn't 170miles from home!

Superb! Fresh and wonderful flavours, cooked to perfection Very unassuming small restaurant with an exceptionally tasty menu Very friendly service The excellent reviews are well deserved

My partner wanted to try somewhere different, so she chose to try Bombaylicious. She had the Sheek Kabab Naanwich and I went for Prawns Malabar with Saffron Rice. The Prawns Malabar was very good. We were limited by 1 hour of parking, but ordered and ate our meal, had a glass of wine and was out within 50 minutes. Service was very friendly and polite. It's the first time I had been to Coulsdon to eat and we will add it to our regular list of restaurants.

My Indian takeaway experience was nothing short of excellent. From the prompt and friendly service to the explosion of flavors in every dish, it was an unforgettable journey through the diverse and vibrant world of Indian cuisine. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic and mouthwatering Indian food experience. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or new to Indian cuisine, this takeaway will undoubtedly leave your taste buds singing and your heart content. I can't wait for my next visit!

Had such an amazing meal The lamb biryani was just perfect I truly enjoyed every bite. I wasn't going to but decided to get desert and the flavoursome gajer halwa and kulfi was so nicely presented but not for long!!! Defo recommended. Harris

We have had a few bad Indian takeaways and thought we would try here as the reviews were good. I can honestly say they lived up to everything! Our food was totally delicious. Most of the food we ordered was vegan and it was beautiful. They made it very easy for us by explaining what was vegan and what could be adapted. I will definitely order from this restaurant again and would highly recommend if you want good quality food.

My trip advisor review of Bombaylicious….. Many years ago… I decided that I just wasn’t content with the slop that most Indian takeaways were providing so I learnt how to make an authentic Indian meal myself using fresh ingredients and no additives etc. Every Friday evening I make a delicious meal for myself and my partner that costs a fraction of a high street curry house. Last night however, I didn’t have the time but really fancied a curry so I decided to bite the bullet and try Bombaylicious in Coulsdon as I could see a few of the reviews were favourable and the menu looked ok. What a mistake….I ordered a Rajastani Lamb Laal, a lamb Kurma, a ‘seasonal’ vegetable curry and a naan bread. Well, it WAS the same old slop that every other high street takeaway spews out just a varying degree of colour! I can’t even comment in the individual dishes because they just all poured out off their plastic trays onto my plate in a disgusting mess….I had to eat them with a spoon! Not only that but because they have been given fancy names Bombaylicious have also got the audacity to charge an extortionate amount of money for it, best part of £40 is a disgrace. Now don’t get me wrong….if your used to eating this coloured slop you’ll probably think this muck is ok but do yourself a favour, buy a little paperback book called The Curry Secret and do it yourself…..you won’t regret it! I certainly won’t by another takeaway curry again….unless I’m in India!

Very polite friendly welcome & service. We sat at a lovely table by the window. Excellent Biriani- full of fresh herbs & spices. Cumin yogurt with Tarka dal was delicious too. We come to the Tuesday night music club occasionally & will come back again next time. Thank you!

Fantastic eating place ,takeaways great and now can sit and enjoy sumptuous food in seated area , friendly staff ,can't stay away

Ordered a takeaway from here and it was delicious. The saag paneer was particularly tasty. Also enjoyed the selection of small plates.

Came in after having received an email saying that they were doing a coronationcurry. We had to try it and was not disappointed. Right amount of spice and my kids loved it. Lovely little restaurant serving lovely food. Nice toilets too Will be back

On the recommendation of my son, we tried this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. Easily the best Indian food in Coulsdon and the surrounding area.

The food was incredible. We came in for lunch and we were not disappointed. We had the vegetable samosa Chaat, mutton rolls. Then had the tandoori king prawns with the tandoori chicken thighs. Dall and butter naan on the side. The member of staff was...

The food at Bombaylicious Coulsdon is excellent, consistently fresh, tasty and high quality. I have been at least 10 times, mostly for pick up as they have excellent offers on pickup and the restaurant is very near Coulsdon Town train station. Sometimes I arrive earlier...

We’d seen this place before it had opened and thought it looked good and last night we decided to pop in and we were blown away. The food was incredible. The menu was also amazing, with an incredible assortment of delicious dishes which we did...

We have had our first Bombaylicious Coulsdon take-away meal on 4th April 2023 and it was truly delicious. Our freshly cooked meals were ready for collection at the agreed time and we were served by a very friendly, helpful and nice man. Our meals were full of delightful flavours and remarkable value for money. We have eaten Indian meals in many UK restaurants and in India itself, but this meal was our best ever. We are certainly looking forward to enjoying meals from this wonderful restaurant whenever we are in the area. William Warton

By far the best indian chicken burger i have ever tasted. Staff are extremely kind all round amazing would recommend to everyone

We regularly have takeaway here and we love it! The quality is incredible and every dish we tried - mostly curries, some tandories, and many starters- was truly delicious and well prepared. The portions are generous, and pick-up orders are usually ready in 15/20 mins.

This has been my regular favourite for takeaway for the last couple of years. The curries are amazing and service always great. Bombay Butter Chicken has become a favourite :)

Bombaylicious has two branches. Coulsdon and Purley. We have eaten at both and can say that the food is consistent and service is great. We especially take advantage of there weekday buy one curry get one free offer. There butter chicken is the best I...

Have been using this restaurant for thre past two years. We order at least twice a week. Great offers and loveky friendly service. Favourite dishes are the Lamb Cutlets and Bombay Butter Chicken. Food is spicy and authentic. Great food guys

Excellent food quality and fabulous prices. Always ‘with smile’ customer service. Been ordering from Coulsdon branch for more than a year and they never let me down. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed.

Meady curry Overpriced and the menu was very limited Gonna stick to Chipstead tandoori! Never again unfortunately Feel ill

I loved the food we got from this takeaway this week. The burger was amazing and different and I just devoured the whole lot! I also had the broccoli from the Tandoor, which was such a delight. The butter chicken was equally fabulous and I...

Have been using this place since they opened and took advantage of there buy1 get1 free curry offer . Had the Laal Maas and Prawn Moilee, dishes that you don't find in other restaurants locally. We always enjoy the food as it is authentic and...

Went last week for a meal with friends. The food was superb and the service was attentive without being overbearing. I will definitely return.

First time I have ordered here, and we were hugely impressed. It was a Saturday night, and we have got used to the delivery taking ages, but in this case it was very prompt. The quality was excellent, but what I really loved was the...

I ordered the lamb saag to take away, the takeaway packaging is really neat but most importantly the food is sublime. Best local curry without question! Will definitely be visiting again.

well we have certainly had our fair share on Indians all around the country and world. The takeaway we had here was one of the best ever. It is a small menue but great. The spicy Lamb dish I had was the best take out...

Buttered chicken & Bombay potatoes were simply tasteless, naan was crispy & almost the size of a pitta bread & the Paneer butter masala, was runny sauce with a few bits of cheese. Really disappointed.

Been to the new Bombaylicious at Purley today, I’ve been one of Asad’s customers for years and use the Coulsdon takeaway every week… so glad he’s got an ear in restaurant again Food was spectacular as always London standard Michelin star food comes to a...

After having takeaways and ordering from their BBQ menu during the summer we couldnt wait for the resturant to open, we were lucky to have birthday meal during Bombaylicious soft opening week, and couldnt fault anything ...Asad and his team turned out the best Indian...

It was cannot wait moment when the food was on our table . Will definitely visit again if I be that area again .

No doubt in food We just love your food and smiling face We will come soon Thank you Chef and team 🙏

Just had my first takeaway from here. The Chicken Tikka was absolutely divine. The presentation of the food is something I’ve never seen before. Outstanding. Good luck with the eat in once the refurb is complete.

Impressed with the portion sizes and also the packaging which was different to standard Indian takeaways. It was a delicious feast for a Friday night.

I ordered a range of food from the keema pao to the rolls to the biriani to a few curries for a family get together. Each dish was really tasty and everyone enjoyed the food. We live out of their delivery area but for a...

This is neither a good, or a bad review, but how can this be called a restaurant? It’s just a take away. We headed there because it was the #1 restaurant in Coulsdon, but it’s a take away

We used Bombaylicious recently to cater for a special family meal. The food was ready to collect on time & was, as usual, really tasty. Everyone was very impressed. I'd highly recommend.

To celebrate a birthday in the family yesterday I decided we should have a takeaway feast from Bombaylicious. Being all vegetarian I ordered literally every vegetarian item on the menu and it did not disappoint! Every item was bursting with flavour and the food was...

Amazing food, forgot to put my tandoori mixed grill in and delivered it within 15mins. Totally overlooked mistake due to quality of food was amazing, lamb sag fav and mixed grill, don’t bother with chips they where rubbish soggy oven chips. Everything else delicious. Good...

After being loyal to our favourite curry house for the last two years we have converted! Bombaylicious provides the best takeaway curry we have tasted in years. With my partner being Asian I am not afraid to say we can be a little picky however...

Picked up a collection order, I have to say one of the vest curries I've had! Definitely up there with my top 3

I kid you not. This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever experienced. The food is absolutely delicious. Don’t delay....this is the one you need to visit or order a delivery from.

Best curry in the area by a long way and possible one of the best in London. Was blown away, tasted were amazing.

Very nice curry, I haven’t order for a while but it was as good as ever. Thank you I recommend to everyone.

Was expecting big things from A 5 star but was left unfortunately disappointed by this curry. Found it to be completely tasteless and the naan’s were flat as pancakes. Resembled more of a microwave meal than a takeaway curry. Really disappointed.

Have had takeaways from most of the local places over the years and decided to try Bombaylicious a few weeks ago. Since then have had a takeaway every week from them (never done that before) as the food is by far the most flavoursome from...

We just ordered our 1st takeaway from Bombaylicious, the food was lovely, it is the best Butter Chicken I have tasted & the mushroom rice was excellent. Also the food was ready on time, with a welcome service, Would definitely recommend in future.

Great takeaway....food is high quality well cooked, haven’t had a dish that we don’t like and won’t order from other Indian restaurants now. Can’t wait for them to open their restaurant in Coulsdon.

I tried this place yesterday being a little skeptical about Indian takeaways! I’ve travelled india and have had many curries and I really liked this place! The butter chicken was perfect and my dad really enjoyed the sea bass! It’s refreshing to know that we...

We just moved to Coulsdon tried Bombaylicious and it was the best Indian take away we have had in ages! My girlfriend is Indian and very fussy, she loved it! 5 stars, will deffo be ordering again!

We had the valentine's meat dinner this evening and it was the best indian food I have ever eaten. Great value for money and every course delicious. What a gem on our doorstep in Coulsdon. Highly recommended, try it and see, you will not be...

It's a 10 mile journey door to door from my home but well worth it. I make sure I stock up my fridge when I go. I have eaten Bombaylicious 3 days in a row and would happily eat it for another 3. Be it...

Bombaylicious food is absolutely first class, on a par with any top-rated Indian restaurant. They also are committed to giving back to the community throgh donating food to NHS workers and the homeless. Recommend 100%

I have ordered from bombaylious a few times and the food has always been amazing. Everytime I have ordered something different and enjoyed it very much! I also had the pleasure of having bombaylious deliver delicious meals to my work place as they have been...

Bombaylicious very kindly donated over 100 meals to our local NHS hospital. I helped to facilitate the donation and the hospital staff have contacted me saying the food was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for your kind donation.

My family and I discovered Bombaylicious a few months back and will never go anywhere else. For once, each curry has its own distinctive flavour and blessed with real, fresh ingredients...curry leaves and ginger!! I have worked for the NHS for the last 40+ years...

Very kindly and most enjoyed donation of a lunch time treat delivered for all the hard working staff in the operating theatres at St Helier hospital. Thanks Guy’s

Fabulous food as always thanks to Bombaylicious! Cooked just how we like it, the food is always tasty, hot and ready for us to pick up on time. Great friendly staff, we would recommend this place to everyone!

Fantastic home cooked food .. better than any Indian restaurant or takeaway food I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious!

O.M.G. This food is incredible! I just ordered a whole feast this evening for my birthday. There was 3 bags of food for 3 people!! Well it is lockdown so I thought why not try a bit of everything haha. When serving up the food...

I enjoyed a most delicious Kerala Chicken Curry in Bombaylicious in Coulsdon. It was authentic and full of flavour.

We were recommended by a friend and can’t recommend more highly. The best Indian food we have eaten. Great variety of options and delicious. Also really like the community support and sustainable packaging. Well done!

We had our first takeaway last night from Bombaylicious & we will be back for more. We totally enjoyed our meal. We chose Masala Lamb Chops, Bombay Butter Chicken, Dall Ghosh, Peshwari Naan, Steamed Rice all delicious. We would recommend that you try too!

I'm not one to leave many reviews for a takeaway but the food from Bombaylicious we had last week was fantastic. The menu has your usual favourites but also some great unusual additions. The Popcorn Paneer and Bombay Fried Chicken Wings were outstanding! Add to...

We eat Indian often including while traveling all over India. This food is excellent! The price is more than justified for the excellent quality. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood. YUM!

Ordered chicken and veg biriyani and samosas. They were delicious and quite big portions. Though it's a bit expensive worth the money. Yummy!

Without doubt, the best Indian food in Coulsdon! It may be slightly more expensive than others, but it is worth every penny. We have tried many of the dishes now, and they are delicious, without exception! Cannot recommend it enough!!

Second time in a month we've had takeaway from here and the food is absolutely outstanding. Lamb chops are insanely good, butter chicken also and the pacora starter was reminiscent of Kastoori....a vegetarian restaurant we miss still from our days in Tooting!...highly recommended

Excellent food. Absolutely delicious. Some classics and some new takes on dishes. Definitely going to be ordering from here again.

OK. I grew up eating Indian food....easily my favourite cuisine. I also eat out at least twice a week. Saw this place pop up on my FB. Absolutely STUNNING. WOW. Give it a go. You will NOT be disappointed! P.S.....lamb chops were top draw!

Great tasting food, friendly staff and service was fast, would recommend others to try for a pleasant change

The most delicious food we've ever had from a takeaway. Also, very consistent, we just keep re-ordering!

Dribbling writing this as I think about the food from Bombaybloodylicious! All I can say is I’ve had food from here 6-7 times in the last 2-3 months and it is the best curry I have had outside of India, and possibly even better than...

Absolutely yummy, not too spicy which was great for me because you can actually taste the food. Paneer curry and aloo tiki was great and so was the chilli cheese naan! Would highly recommend 😍

Friends and I were treated to a takeaway from Bombaylicious - mix of samosas and chicken wings for starter, followed by paneer, lamb and butter chicken with variety of naans and veg byriani for mains. I must admit probably one of the better Indian meals...

had a takeaway for 4 people, all the food was great, very generious portions and very tasty. all in all *****

What a delicious dinner and taste bud delight Out last night with friends. Highly recommend the butter chicken and the panner Version for those vegetarian, and the veg biryani which was packed with flavour. Definitely going to be returning for more.

Very tasty food with a unique flavour along with excellent service! I particularly enjoyed the Paneer. I'll go back for sure.
