Cafe Bombay in High Peak

Superb food! We’ve been converts to Cafe Bombay in Chinley for more years than I remember. The three dishes I had this evening were deliciously complex. Treat yourself with Prawn Puri, the Bhindi Bhaji especially and the Chicken Kahari!! Utterly sublime.

Fantastic meal from there. Lots of variation in the flavour of the dishes and they don't all look and taste the same like some takeaways. Decent amount of meat and very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend.

Maybe an off night for them but my first and last time I will be going there. Food took forever to arrive at the table. They forgot my Garlic Nan and it took at least another 6 minutes to arrive. For information only: this is a BYO booze place.

One of the best Indian meals I have ever had.

Gorgeous food cooked in an open kitchen , fantastic service and well priced . Bring your own drink for a perfect night out . Used again and nothing has changed .still everything is excellent

Our first visit here but won’t be our last. Delicious food, good service and open on a Monday. Take your own alcohol and they have soft drinks for sale. Definitely recommended

Amazing place with amazing food and lovely staff. We were staying just down the road for a week and found this place. The curry was the best weve had in a long time,Jalfrezi and Karai pilau rice and garlic nan to shate £27.50 fabulous. Plus they have no license so you can take your own beer or wine. Just wish we lived closer as we would definitely come back.

Nice Indian food. Dal tadka/fry and jeera/plan rice must try

The staff were very friendly and the food was great. A wide choice available and all very tasty. Very good value and you can bring your own alcohol with no corkage charge.

Great food. Staff very pleasant.

As always, clean , delicious food and lovely staff, well done.

Wonderful Karahi, perfect rice and fabulous Naan. What more could you ask for? Perfect, many thanks. A joy to actually watch my food being prepared!

Great Curry Cafe! Brilliant service really friendly staff and gorgeous food. Very reasonably priced and you can take your own alcoholic drink with you…they do sell soft drinks. Me & my family had a lovely night there will definitely go again!

So hospitable, a lovely welcome and very clean, great for dining in or take away would recommend. Definitely the best curry I've had in years, shame we're only visiting but will be back when we come back. Bring your own booze but soft drinks are available, amazing 5 ⭐

Im not satisfied actually.. We went peak district and when return we go there.. The ambiance was nice but the food was not worth at all. Everything was very sweaty. I think they put sugar. And the biriyani.. I don't know how my friend was ate that one. I think they should improve their food quality. Thank you!

Gorgeous food! Very good service. Next time we are in Chimley we will definitely order food from here again.

A little gem...dont be fooled... the food is superb...very good flavours 🍻

Good food and they now take card!

Cant believe that this place has been open for 20yrs and this was my first visit The food is amazing as well as the service highly reccomended will definetly be visiting again

Really nice staff. Kind people. The cafe is very clean and welcoming. The place was cold though. I know everyone is having to skimp on heating but the food goes cold quickly. We will be going again though as the food was so nice and the staff were great.

Monday is a quiet night but we were given great service and curries. Generous portions for a reasonable price

Had a lovely curry great service food atmosphere. Reasonable priced too friendly service. Would visit again if visiting Chinley closed Tuesday cash only.

Very enjoyable meal. Decent portions, really tasty and good prices. Opening times seem a little unreliable or they don't always answer the phone hence the 4 stars. Would return.

Always excellent food, good service from lovely people

Delicious food! All 4 of us were very happy with our takeaway and it was good value too.

Cafe Bombay chinley food is amazing and all the staff are amazing and friendly they go out off their way to make sure your dining experience is a successful one xx I'd never go to another curry place

Unassuming pleasant staff serving a wide range of curry favourites

Just a small Indian takeaway/Restaurant but the food is always top notch. Service is good and always clean. Good selection on the menu and it's bring your own Alcohol as they just serve soft drinks. The only downside is it can be a bit cold near the door so for great food put a thick jumper on if you go in the winter.

Our local village Indian restaurant. Always good and always made welcome.

Wide variety of dishes on offer in a small open kitchen restaurant. Good value and friendly staff. Dishes can be altered to your tastes.

Always a friendly welcome even though we hadn't been there since the first lock down. Excellent food and good choices on the menu, any dish can be cooked to personal taste.

Excellent meal. Best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Great service, open kitchen and will be back.

Just had a take away from Bombay Cafe in Chinley. It was excellent, really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it. We had Chicken Biryani, Chicken Saag, Poppadoms and Bhaji’s. it was all fab! Great food, great service, go for it!!

We moved to Chinley today and after a long day tried here for a takeaway. It was superb. Probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had . We will be regulars.

What a god send, when every where was closed.It was our last night in Chinley and decided to have a takeaway.Just a quick phone call and a 10minute wait, it was ready.Good service,excellent food,freshly cooked,with Covid19 regs in place, highly recommended.Well done to you all.

Food better than on curry mile manchester Very reasonable prices Worth a visit The restaurant doesn’t have a license but you can bring your own wine or beer

Called in for a take away on our last evening on holiday in Chinley and very glad we were too. The curries were really tasty and the mushroom rice a perfect accompaniment. Very much liked the taka dhal, good flavour and with some lentil bite. We always reckon that an Indian restaurant can be rated by its poppadoms and they were crisp and light. So job done - a big tick from us.

We are tourists to the Peaks staying in Chinley and we fancied a curry so booked to eat in at Bombay Cafe. The restaurant is no frills and you have to bring your own alcohol but the food ...... BEST curry I’ve had in ages. Non greasy, packed with fresh ingredients - absolutely delish. The King Prawn Puree in particular was lush! Definitely worth a try

We love our Indian food and always try to find a restaurant wherever we go. We were blown away with how delicious the food at Café Bombay was. The owner recommended a dish to my partner and it was delicious. The Pashawri naan was the best we have had, you can tell they were made fresh and perfect texture. To top it off the service received was fantastic. Highly recommended. We will definitely return.Rhianna, Hampshire.

An unassuming restaurant/takeaway serving the most superb food. Lemon rice was particularly appreciated - the best my husband has eaten. Excellent selection of dishes prepared in the kitchen in view of diners and customers. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Best thing about Chinley! Can't beat a cafe Bombay! Me and my family have enjoyed eating here for over ten years. Staff are lovely - great service - food never disappoints. Lovely family atmosphere! Worth a visit.

This was our third visit to Cafe Bombay. It is the best Indian Restaurant we have been to in England. Tasty, clean and lovely people. Good value for money. We had the buttermilk chicken, lamb madras and lemon rice. We loved it.

Nice 10 of us, and we went for take out, not as spicy as some I have had so could try a taste on their dishes

My wife and I enjoyed the best curry we have hsd for many years. The staff were excellent, the restaurant really clean. I had lamb on the bone as it should be. Highly recommended.

This is a fair curry house, where there are few curry houses, but the waiter was rather grumpy, the food quite sharp/ tangy and the tables sticky... We could not work out why all our dishes had the same tang, but they were all edible and pleasant enough but we’ve had a lot better.

Food was OK but nothing to right home about. Sticky tables. Owner/waiter extreamly rude and very grumpy. Went on about being very very busy and two people couldn't sit at a table for 4 even though there was already two people sat at a table for 4. These two people and my friend and I were his only customers all night. He sat us at a table which meant he couldn't serve the other couple in the corner so he just shouted at me to move and pushed my chair. If we had had transportation we would have walked out. In a small village it is not good to treat customers this way. I have only bad things to say and pass on to my local friends. Now they will not be his customers. He stood over us at our table when he gave us the bill and while we paid and he stood and counted out the money at the table and tutted when he got no tip. I will not be returning here again.

Went here whilst we were staying in the village on holiday. Had a nice meal that was reasonably priced and quite nice. The staff were polite and friendly. Decor needs a spruce up but OK.

My colleague and i were working here first time in the area been to 2local pubs and the local village shop everyone received card payments or contact less.However went to cafe bombay for a traditional Indian meal my colleague and i went into the shop/restaurant he ordered food then asked to pay with card the very rude older man said no! cash monies only. Luckily my colleague had enough cash to cover his food.I hardly carry cash so asked could I pay contact less or PayPal email or something other than cash and I was just ignored like a dog.I'm really really mad about this! A simple no sorry sir our machine is broken or something.. But to be 100% ignored at point blank and no communication. He just walked off and ignored me.This establishment will be reported to derby local council, HSE, trading standards and all parties involved with protecting us and our food hygiene standards.If the persons occupying these premises cannot communicate with English speaking persons in a English speaking community serving food to local English speaking person there's a massive breach here and needs to be rectified!I will not mark them down on food as I was not able to purchase any :(

Treated like scum.Told the restaurant was busy and fully booked and gave us a table for two. This ment he couldn't serve food to the only other two customers without pushing past my chair he did this shouting MOVE.the other couple were sat on a table for 4. We then asked for a bigger table but he argued they were very busy. His words were 'I don't have time to argue with You' when we said ok we will go he changed his mind and let us change tables. No other customers came in that night. We were there from 7pm till 10pm. Food was ok but nothing special.Table was sticky, so much so that cutlery and glasses were stuck to it. He brought my good and put it down on the table and then said MOVE THAT to the other side. Why? When we asked for the bill he brought it to the table and stayed. Just stood there while we both gotthe money together. He then counted it out at the table and tutted because we gave him no tip. The other couple that were eating there said on there way out 'your made of better stuff than us. We would have walked out he was so rude'We will not be going back there.

I think it is ready for a referb to be honest and the lighting let it down, it was too bright thus no ambience. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was fine if a little more spicy than the same dishes I have had elsewhere.

A small group of five visited on a Saturday night. With no licence, the restaurant only sells soft drink s but allows you to ‘bring your own’.

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food - what else? Ambience. Look to the name, Café Bombay. There's a café feel to it: no flock wallpaper, bad paintings or sticky carpet - and you can actually see your dinner cos they keep the lights on while you eat it.

Here you can take your own wine with no corkage charges. Food is fantastic, never had a bad meal either eat-in or takeaway. So reasonably priced too, both myself and partner going hell for leather with the orders - 3 starters, poppadoms, pickle tray, 2 mains along with nan bread and rice only just managed to run up a sit down meal over £40!!!!

I have never had anything but fantastic meals - either as take outs or in restaurant. Really friendly helpful staff.

Always enjoy the food from here, and they do an excellent byriani! They do take away and you can eat there, unlicensed so you can bring a bottle.

This place is a gem. Tucked away in a small village it consistently delivers excellent, tasty and reasonably priced food. We have a take away from here at least once a month. Staff are lovely and go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Brilliant.

It had been far too long since our last visit, so when our married daughter suggested going for a meal with the family recently, we decided to book a table at the Cafe Bombay. We were delighted to discover that usual high standards of food and service had been maintained during the years of our absence and we all thouroughly enjoyed our meals.I particularly loved my main course of Chicken Tikka Biryani, which was served crowned with an omlette and a separate dish of vegetable curry. Our son-in-law had not been to the Cafe Bombay before and he was most impressed. Excellent food from a good selection on the menu at decent prices. Highly recommended.

Got a takeaway from here whilst staying in Chinley. Taste wise it was absolutely top notch and I would certainly go back again.

We arrived in Chinley and were looking for a lovely meal. Not only did we get a tasty takeaway, but also experienced some of the kindest and smiliest customer service ever! Would definitely recommend!

We have just been in for the most disappointing curry, it was bland and tasteless, the tables were sticky, the owner was sitting on the work top.

Stumbled across this restaurant tonight and was very impressed: the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful; the food was good and the service excellent.

This was so good we had one 2 nights in a row. We found starters quite spicy and had 4 different mains which were all really good. You can watch the food being made which is always a good sign plus if you eat in then it’s a “bring your own”. My friend who is very hard to please says the Butter chicken is to die for. I like my food a bit hotter and the chicken tikka jalfrezi hit the right spot. Enjoy.

Been going here for ages, and will continue to do so. It's not a fancy or pretentious place, and I like this because all the staff are so friendly and are always asking how we're getting along. I've eaten plenty of curries at various places, and this is my favourite, because along with the service, the food itself is very good, and unlike some Indians, doesn't feel like you're eating 'mystery meat.' Bring your own booze is always a bonus and means it's a cheap evening out.

We eat here most weeks because it is so good . There is always a very warm welcome ,food & service is spot on .

The saving grace for this restaurant is the very friendly staff. My meal was very disappointing 1 prawn chopped up into a million pieces. However everyone in our group enjoyed their meal.

The food was great, as was the service and the staff. We took our own wine which kept the cost down to a sensible level. All 4 meals were well appreciated and of high quality.

This is a cafe first and foremost, with a BYOB license, but it so clean and so friendly and the food is really really good.

Brilliant food and service as always. On a par with the best on the curry mile! Chilli chicken is amazing.

What can I say- these guys rock. Really nice food that's not greasy or muddled in flavour. As a vegetarian...

Curry fantástico café y comida para llevar. Ha habido un par de veces sólo cambiamos a la zona, y es excepcional en términos de calidad, y el personal es muy amable y el restaurante ofrecen un servicio estándar en lo que es realmente una agradable...

Me traían un vale de aquí y acabo alrededor de utilizarlo! Fue increíble, menú enorme. La próxima vez volveremos a comer. Ah, y puedes llevar tu propio vino! Rogue josh es uno de los mejores que he probado 😋

Los cuatro de nosotros llegamos y nos conocimos y sentado por un personal amable. Mesa limpia con ropa de cama. Las comidas eran muy buenas y se sirve en buen tiempo. No objetar extra poppadoms chutney o. Un buen restaurante con buena relación calidad precio y sin duda volvería.

First ordered a meal on the Sunday evening as we were on holiday and only arrived late Sunday. What fantastic food. So good we decided to have another meal from Cafe Bombay the following Friday. I spent all week looking forward to it. I eat a lot of Indian food and this is the best I have tasted in a long time.

We're really lucky to have this gem in our village. The food is always fresh and tasty, it has all the usual dishes you'd expect from an Asian restaurant but also some occasional specials, although I'm not sure how we're supposed to know about them as they're never advertised, word just gets round. They are also happy to make up dishes to suit individual tastes! The fluffy nan bread is delicious and they serve good sized portions. They don't serve alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own, or there is a shop next door where you can pick up an emergency bottle of wine or beer if needed.

My family visit the Cafe Bombay on a regular basis and have done for quite a few years now. The staff are both friendly and give great service always with a cheerful smile. Food is very good and of course you can bring your own alcoholic drinks. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

I have been to this restaurant previously so this was a repeat visit. It is not particularly fancy or upscale BUT the staff are very good and the food is also very acceptable. Combine this with BYO and it`s very acceptable. I must confess it was another early evening visit so I can`t really comment on what it is like later in the evening.The location is good and it can also be reached via the train station if you don`t want to drive. There is a good range of food and I was in company with vegetarian friends who like what it offers in respect of non meat based cuisine. Well worth a visit. It is also very reasonable price wise.

We live nearby and have had meals sat in the restaurant and takeaways. Both very good! Luckily for us we are just down the road. Keep it up!

Just what it says on the tin, a cafe style Indian restaurant. Excellent food friendly staff well worth a visit and very well priced to, don't forget to bring your own booze.

A great atmosphere, good service & amazing tradition Indian food. can get takeaway or eat in, in their fine intermit dinning area. will definitely be back.

A friendly establishment that always tries to give satisfactory service along with good food. Hard to find a fault.

Dined here about 8 or 9 times, Working my way though the chefs specials, mouth watering food each time, terrific friendly staff, and no corkage charge, it has an open kitchen so you can watch your meal being cooked ( should you wish ) give it a go, sit in or take away it really is a great little restaurant. ( they fridge your beers as well )

Lush food, who needs Manchester. In the beautiful peaks authentic Indian food yum. Great friendly service.

Four of us dined this evening January 7 to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was full and very warm. There were no delays in the food arriving and as always it was of good quality and presented on time.Thank you Farouk and Sahid.

Good little curry house, the food was very good, freshly cooked and tasty. Friendly service. First time we have eaten here but we will definitely return. Fresh poppadoms and dips, butter chicken, dopiaza and madras freshly cooked naan bread all good dishes. New Years eve and even though they were busy the service was very good.

Our first time visiting this curry house and we were very impressed and will definitely be returning! We called to originally enquire if they had vegan options on their menu, we were told that they would be happy to prepare something specially on the night. The vegan meal provided was superb, and was also thoroughly enjoyed by the omnivores too! The service was outstanding all night and every meal was superb! Would definitely be recommend! (Just remember its BYOB and cash only)

Ten of us ate here quite comfortably despite the apparent lack of space. We all ate from the the set menu which was plentious and varied ( in style as well as spiciness ). A really good feature is they you take your own beer and wine with no corkage so you don't have to pay exorbitant charges for drinks.

Excellent food, good service. BYO so it keeps your drinks bill down.They will always try to make you any special dish.Offers both dine in and a take away service.

Just returned from a superb meal. Cafe Bombay's take on a Lamb sizzler was delicious and inventive.The service was fast and welcoming.Always very personalised and appropriately humorous.One of our party had a birthday and without prompting or pre-order a complimentary birthday cake appeared,Excellent will be returning

We enjoyed a decent meal from here having arrived earlier in the day on holiday in the village. The food is good although at 7.30 we had to wait 30 minutes for a takeaway. The only issue is that they only take cash, no cards, slightly irritating.

Very nice but not exceptional, super staff and service help make up for that as well as taking your own vino.

Best Indian restaurant around the High Peak.Great value and very warm welcome from Simon and his family.It hasn't got a licence so remember to bring your beer and wine with you.Try the authentic Chicken Towa which i can recommend.

Did not expect to find a curry house of this quality in a backwater like Chinley. Good food, good service at reasonable prices. Bring your own booze and 4 can eat for less that £60 with all the extras.

Sunday 24th July we visited my sister who lives in Chinley.She suggested we have a takeaway from the cafe Bombay.We arrived and where warmly greeted by all the staff. Plenty of people eating in the restaurant.We had ordered a variety of Curries , rice and nan bread and was given some pompadoms.Everything we ordered was excellent and I Would highly recommend this restaurant .

Cafe Bombay is run by a family from Bangladesh. I was introduced to all the family members working in the open kitchen by Simon, the face and voice of the family.The menu is very extensive, and there is an additional 'secret menu' of family recipes, which I tried and was very impressed with. The food was exceptionally tasty; though not fiery or fierce. Everything was freshly prepared in full view of customers.The family is Muslim, and therefore do not sell alcohol - although they are happy for customers to provide their own and to open bottles. We visited during the fasting month of Ramadan, and were quite surprised to see the family preparing and serving delicious meals while they themselves were fasting.One word of warning; the restaurant does not have facilities for card payment - this is strictly a cash only establishment (although there is a cash dispenser in the shop next door).I would highly recommend Cafe Bombay.

Brilliant family run business. First class service throughout and food to match. Ask for the specials off the menu if you want one of the tastiest curries in the UK - no overstatement.

Called in on our first night staying in the a local area to buy something for tea instead of cooking. Ordered the tandoori chicken mains, chicken bhuna and mushroom rice and naan bread. Staff very friendly and welcoming and we could sit inside at a table while our meal was prepared ( as this is also a cafe)Food was lovely and good value

It's not very often you find a restaurant that makes you feel like an A-lister.From the moment you walk on, you're made to feel special and one of the family all at the same time.My husband and I took our daughter and her friend there. The guy actually took the time to explain the dishes so that we each had something delicious to suit our (very) different tastes.Food was exquisite and the staff even managed to make the two girls smile (not an easy task for teenagers)I highly recommend the fish. Melt in the mouth and the accompaniment brought bursts of flavours that were exciting.Beautiful experience from start to finish!

My Wife and I went to this fine eatery this evening and were pleasantly surprised with how good the place was. We had starters and a main with some naan bread and it was all very tasty. The man that served us was very friendly and was happy to stop and talk to us and find out where we came from and what we were doing in the area. Literally the best Indian in town and definitely worth trying out. Not a licensed restaurant so take your own, and bring cash, not a debit card. Thank you to the Chefs and staff and we will see you soon.

Really enjoyable meal for 7 guys last night. The restaurant is basic in look but the quality of the food was excellent and I would fully recommend.BEWARE though - they do not sell alcohol but bring your own is fine.

Planned a visit here when staying with my mates in the next village.My friend phoned ahead to say that I only eat Vegan diet and owner said they would put a couple of dishes on, no problem!On arrival I discovered that the dishes they planned were not vegan and instead I was offered a few choices from the menu that they could make vegan. Was a little embarrassing, but they did accommodate and what they made was nice. Owner wasn't sure what vegan was at first and I had to explain no ghee, yoghurt, milk, butter, etc but we got there in the end :-)
