Star Of Bombay in Kensington and Chelsea

Ok, the décor is rather 80s/90s, but don't let that put you off coming here for a meal. I found the service to be good, the food well prepared and presented and the taste very good

Un hermoso y pequeño restaurante indio. Comida maravillosa. El mejor indio que he tenido en Londres. Sin duda puedo recomendar la parrilla mixta tandoori. Maravillosamente presentado buen gusto y buena porción de tamaño. Viene completo con un naan y una salsa de curry más como una sopa de tomate, absolutamente hermosa. Precio muy bien. Si va, recuerde pagar solo lo que tiene, cualquier propina en efectivo. Tuvimos una gran comida y no me puedo quejar, aparte de la decoración pasada de moda, pero eso no fue ninguna detracción, ya que la comida era muy buena.

No había estado en este restaurante por más de 20 años y fue como retroceder en el tiempo. Teníamos thalis, carne y verduras. Raciones grandes y la comida estaba bien, pero nada especial. La versión incluía un plato de carne al vindaloo que fue una sorpresa - con la inevitable consecuencias! Regados con una cerveza.

Fuimos a este restaurante indio bastante tradicional con un buen amigo para visitar Londres. Elegimos el menú para dos por £27. Por ese precio tienes cebolla bhajis, luego un pollo tika masala y curry de pollo con un lado de goa de sag aloo. Pedimos una porción extra de taka dal. El sag aloo dal y tenía un buen sabor pero el curry era bastante sosa y no estoy seguro de que estaban recién hechas. El servicio parecía un poco ropy en ocasiones demasiado, especialmente cuando uno de los camareros conectaban sobre mi amigo como él terminar su arranque. Tuve la sensación general de que los camareros estaban más interesados en asegurar el desarrollo ordenado de liquidación de mesas de la comodidad de sus comensales. En general, la calidad de la comida no alcanza el coste que terminó siendo 60 libras para dos con vino. Hay sin duda otros restaurantes indios en la zona de Notting Hill y Bayswater a medida que merecen nuestra mejor.

Grandes platos, me encantó el pollo Korma, mucho para comer.

Entrati di corsa e sotto una pioggia battente siamo stati piacevolmente colpiti dalla cordialità e delicata gentilezza del personale oltre che dalla qualità del cibo. Torneremo sicuramente

The food was absolutely tasteless. We got the chicken curry which tastes like pre-made tomato paste with chicken pieces. If you like very mild flavoured curry without spices you might like this. But there are much better options save yourself from an this awful food.

Although food taste is good, service was bad. Server very rude, despite we were the only group in the restaurant.

Trabajando tarde de nuevo, un colega y yo visitamos este restaurante hasta tarde en la noche del sábado. Sólo había otra cena en el restaurante.

This place has no idea what Indian food is.!! I wouldn't want to write a bad review but this place deserves it and more. I landed up for a take away and it was an hour before I could leave the place with the food. The food was so awful that it had to be thrown away. We ordered a butter chicken , spicy chicken curry ,rotis and rice.The worst Indian dish ever in the whole world was the butter chicken.!! Taxi yellow in colour, sweet as in payasam or kheer(Indian sweet dish) it was a disaster !Imagine chucking in a few pieces of chicken into a bowl of sweetened cream!Man ,the chef is from another planet surely!.The spicy chicken was terrible.No spice ,no flavour ...was disgusting. The rotis are made of maida and tasted like crumbling pizza...The papads were rice papads or appalams like in south india not in North indian cooking.The restaurant had diners who were presumably the local population and I really hope that they do taste what real Indian or Pakistani food tastes like and UK might have a few great restaurants. It is even called Star of Bombay !!Really!

Maden var ok., smagen var god, men det så lidt kedeligt ud. Naan brødene var meget lækre. Service var god.

I have been eating here for over 10 year and this is the best Indian food in Notting Hill and the surrounding area.

Girovagando per Notting Hill in cerca di un ristorante etnico ci siamo imbattuti nella sua particolare facciata e negli interni retrò di questo carinissimo locale.Devo dire che è stata un'ottima scelta.Preparano ottimo cibo indiano e devo dire che se siete alla ricerca di un ottimo posto dove mangiare indiano ma fuori dal caos di Piccadilly e di Covent Garden (dove ce ne sono tantissimi) questo è una valida alternativa.Il personale poi è davvero gentile e attento.Promosso

We visited the restaurant for the first time in January after living in the neighborhood for the past 5 years. We never thought of popping in as it always looks quite empty, even on the weekends, which is not a great sign. Once you enter the restaurant, the decor is fairly dated, it feels like stepping back in time to 1960s. However, we were very surprised by the quality of the food... They serve authentic, delicious (often quite spicy) and not expensive Indian food! Since our first visit in January, we have been eating there every 2 weeks, trying different dishes and have been very impressed! I would highly recommend this restaurant for a casual meal! By the way, we learned that they have been there for the past 60-years, which is impressive for Notting Hill!

The Star of Bombay is a wonderful restaurant within walking distance of Portobello Road. It's a very welcome place to eat lunch if you are returning from the market. I often stop here after a very busy morning perusing antiques, and would on this occasion choose to mention the very friendly and hospitable service I received today. Restaurant claims to offer a set lunch for less than £10 but I didn't see the menu for that. I was hungry anyway so ordered from the main menu. Butter chicken, plain rice and a cheese naan. All very well presented and flavoursome. A very enjoyable meal. Service was added incorrectly but as it was only a matter of 30p I chose to ignore it. A very nice place to enjoy a fine Indian meal.

This was somewhere we decided to visit due to its good reviews on this site. We were not disappointed... The place looked "old school" family run and the food was amazing.Be Warned, the Onion Bhajis are massive :)I had the lamb dopiaza and it was great, more than happy to visit again. Only surprise was the 12.5% service charge that was automatically added to the bill.

Wir waren zur Mittagszeit hier und es hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Nur etwas aufpassen: wenn sie "scharf" schreiben meinen Sie das auch. Zum Essen hatten wir Tee und Mango Lassi. Auch an der sehr freundlichen Bedienung gab es nichts auszusetzen.

The food is delicious and very well priced. The decor of the restaurant is quite tired but I find it adds to the atmosphere. They also do takeaway (and if you use Deliveroo, you can also get delivery).Highly recommended.

Great Indian Food Restaurent & Take Out!!!I'm a local and have been going to Star of Bombay for years!Simple setting but the food is very tasty and fresh!Great staffClean FriendlyWhat more could one ask for

Had a quite substantial meal delivered from Star Of Bombay and what a mistake it was. A mix of way too salty pieces of meat and a curry which tasted mainly of burnt oil, not to mention the cold industrial naan. I've had my fair share of Indian food in London and this was by far the worst, truly shameful.

Ordered a takeaway king prawn curry and other various bits the prawns looked like they had been cut in half to make a curry for another customer I could hardly see them let alone taste them absolutely discussed how they can get away with it will be ordering again and will be complaining

As I came in on Sunday evening, the only other diners, a German couple, were paying their bill. I ate alone in this quite large and airy restaurant while the 3 or 4 servers amused themselves with hearty conversation in Bengali. I ordered conservatively, but did not expect my dishes to be as bland as they turned out. But I have eaten a lot worse. They have a short but well priced wine list by the bottle, but very limited choice (in small bottles) by the glass. This unambitious place is a throwback to the seventies, would be a good choice for a quiet meal if you order it more spicy than you intend to eat. Prices are extremely reasonable.

We lived around the corner of this restaurant for nearly seven years. We went almost weekly. Friendly, good food and great value for eat in and take out!

This is by far the best Indian I have had since I was in India. Traditional flavors with a great variety on the menu. The food has not been Westernized like many UK Indian restaurants but still has that true Indian spice.

Went to this restaurant on a whim whilst on a short midweek holiday in London. Whilst the food was incredibly fantastic the service we received from the friendly staff was second to none. They were absolutely wonderful and we would definitely go back.

We have been eating here for a few years now, its welcoming, the staff are friendly and the food is fantastic. Booked a table for New Year's Eve and had the most amazing meal, the portions were extra size ( well it seemed that way ) food was excellent as usual.Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

Having lived in Notting Hill for 2 years, my wife and I are now moving to South London and we will miss the Star of Bombay.... badly!This is a great curry house. Full of character, mainly because of the dated décor, but I think this is a good thing. It's what makes the Star of Bombay what it is. The food is excellent, especially the Sizzling Chicken chef special.It's a real shame that we are now going to live too far away to visit for a regular Friday curry.

Okay so if you are looking for ice cream that tastes of Marmite, or artistic presentation then this is probably not your restaurant. If you are looking for incredibly welcoming and friendly service and wonderfully old school Indian then please go here. As I have said the service is wonderful, we went for my sisters birthday (not the usual choice for an event like this, but her choice) and they couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. I really do love this place and I think you have to go in and think that its not going to be Michelin star but it is good quality and a nice atmosphere. One negative, the wine is horrendously expensive and they could look at changing that or adding a BYOB policy, the beer was very well priced.

A very average Indian restaurant and a bit pricey with a meal for two including drinks costing £70 with service on the bill. Food had think sauces and when I am eating in this area again I would rather have a Nando's or Gourmet Burger which are down the road. If you want a good Indian meal head to East London or Southall. I am unlikely to return here.

The food was ok, quite tasty and good quantity too but the service was slow and slightly clumsy.I don't think I will be their customer again if I can avoid it.

Despite all the negative reviews, I decided to drop by my the Star of Bombay to check it out.Decided to order and grab a takeaway as I know that the interior deco is not exactly very up to date/welcoming.In anycase, I ordered a vegetable danksa and a darl tarka.The plus sides are that the portions are big and the curry sauces are very rich and flavorsome.The downsides are the vegetable dansak - none of the vegetable dishes were made of fresh veg - they used frozen peas, greb beans, sweetcorns - not really authentic Indian ingredients I would say in a curry dish.The Darl was okay.I won't be going back there again!

Dear diners, don't waste your time eating here. The food is pretty good but to say the service is rude is being kind, it's enough to put you right off.

Scelto per caso girovagando tra Bayswater e Nottingh Hill, siamo rimasti piacevolmente colpiti. Cucina indiana di buon livello, porzioni abbondanti e personale estremamente cortese.Io ho preso zuppa di lenticchie (molto particolare), chicken tikka masala e riso al limone, mentre la mia ragazza ha preso samosa, salsa al curry, riso al cocco (speciale!). Naan buonissimo e incredibilmente leggero.Purtroppo non siamo riusciti a provare nessun dessert.Consigliato.

When one is a vegetarian it is often hard to find good selections of vegetables so we were particularly pleased to see the variety on offer here. We made a very good meal from a mixture of the aubergines, veggie korma and the spinach and mushrooms, along with a very good egg pilau. Everything was flavourful and excellent. The ambience is good and we especially appreciated the absence of loud music. Will eat here again next time we are in the area.

Ottimo ristorante... arredamente anni 60 ....lorens d arabia! Personale molto cordiale e simpatico .......cibo particolare e diverso dal solito per passare una serata alternativa!

We came on this part of town for the taqueria nearby, but it was full and we were very hungry so we just went for it. Frankly at first it looks like one of the "Kitchen Nightmares" restaurants: forniture out of the 70's (quite literally I think) and the room doesn't seem too clean in itself. The food, we were surprised to discover, is really good. I had a chicken byryani and my boyfriend had a chicken korma and they both were excellent, the portions don't seem much but there's more than meet the eye in those little silver platters. It was very satisfying and not too expensive too, would gladly eat there again!
