The Bombay Brasserie in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's been 10 years since I visited Bombay Brasserie with my partner. It was the natural choice to take her to for her birthday. This time we took our son whose addicted to Indian food. We all loved our lunch in this stunning restaurant. Hopefully we won't wait so long to return.

We had a delicious meal of Chickpeas Masala, Shrimp Simla Mirch, Ambi Paneer Tikka, and Yogurt Salsa with Garlic Naan. Totally delicious...all of it. Then we went to the bar where Benny, Imjad, and Joel mixed us a handful of truly exotic drinks, which we thoroughly enjoyed as our hotel was only 10 yards away. We super-highly recommend the Bombay Brasserie for a great dinner and ambiance.

Excellant restaurant. Very good food and wonderful Indian hospitality. Tasting menu is a great way to try many dishes. They r flexible in changing some dishes in it if there is a preference or allergy. Amazing Keeps up the Taj reputation!

Lovely restaurant with high ceilings Food is good - portions are substantial. I found the prices to be on the high side - especially the drinks!

A lovely meal tonight, great authentic Indian food. Amazing service and a lovely view. Will definitely come back again

Great Ambience, Great food , Great Service , Good menu selection and value for monies in this prestigious location and must say improved F& B selection worthy family, friends or occasion or Business clients keep it up

Ever since the eighties I went to Bombay Brasserie during my visits to London and was never disappointed. This is not simply a food place, this is an Indian experience full of hospitality and taste. This time I took 22 family members to celebrate a family event, they came out amzed. The service was outstanding, anything you ask for, they will do eveything to accomodate.. My guests were thrilled.

This place transports you into the classic indian fine dining restaurant, a place millenials like me had probably gone to with their parents in the late 90s. With a gorgeous bar, a pleasing and classy decor that's not common with all the modern indian fad of late, this restaurant checks all the right boxes. The food was delicious, with a phenomenal palak patta chaat and wonderful chicken tikka and butter chicken. The cocktails are equally good but the star of the show was the staff of the restaurant. From the lady who took our last minute reservation to Shri, our server, everyone is there to help you and make you feel comfortable. This is definitely a place I'll come back to next time I'm in London 😊

this is without question some of the best indian cuisine we've ever had. we chose to order the premium tasting menu, which allowed us the wonderful privilege of trying many different and creative dishes, each expertly prepared. the atmosphere, service and attention to detail is exceptional. THANK YOU!!

all good except it was a bit cold in the main restaurant.

Fabulous venue, meal and great atmosphere. Took friends here as we have been before and did not disappoint, amazing food, and the staff were very attentive to our needs.

Ok place to eat. Limited vegetarian options

Ignore the naysayers. I’ve been coming to the Bombay Brasserie on just about every trip to London I’ve made since probably 1985! And it’s as good as, or better than, ever. We were here this week with a group of 6 and everyone was simply wowed by the food and service. And the atmosphere is still beautiful. This remains amongst London’s best Indian food.

Delicious food! The bhindi and dhal were bursting with flavor! We had multiple other dishes and all were wonderful The service was very attentive. A really nice bar as well!

Just ok . Not like some great and different taste. Tasting menuon the site didn’t match with the served one. Overall 2.5/5

We visited over the weekend for a family dinner. The atmosphere and service were nice, but I was not impressed with the food, especially the Biryani; it did not taste authentic at all. Additionally, the prices were a bit higher compared to other fine dining restaurants.

Visited during our latest London visit had dinner and that was the worst I had during my 5 days visit. They are over priced and was surprised to see in £21+ dish with saying chicken platter having only 3 pieces of 1 piece each for each variety. Portion size is very small and also not many options for curries .Was visiting from USA and price is not an issue if food is good but quality and quantity both were not in proportion with the price. Will not suggest this place to anyone.

Impressive place. Huge areas. Cocktail section. Inner restaurant section. Atrium restaurant section. Went for Sunday lunch. Good selection of food. Some unique tastes. Excellent chicken tandoori. Good service by staff. Clean and organised. Easy access by tube. Impressive bar at the front.

Amazing atmosphere, elegant, top notch service and attention to detail. Delicious food.

food service and ambience all excellent. the lamb was tender and full of indian flavor. a little pricy for my budget but i got over it!

Good food ..excellent ambience and very hospitable staff

Very nice restaurant with tasty food and great atmosphere. The service was excellent

Fabulous food and excellent service!

Ok. we made reservations 3 months ahead of time to start. We were meeting two other couples from Vancouver, Canada. We have eaten in this restaurant several times before and loved every bite and bragged about it to our friends! 5 days before, the reservation was cancelled by them because they were offered a better deal by hosting a private event. Try and get another reservation at a premium Indian restaurant that soon👎. We were SOOO disappointed! They offered a discount at their sister restaurant that was $100CND taxi ride away BOTH ways! We stay at the Millennium Gloucester because this place is close by. We will never darken their door again. BTW..I was able able to secure a last minute reservation at Light of India and it was amazing! Goodbye Bombay Brasserie👎👎😡

Not quite the same standard as The Taj in India. We arrived early for our booking, so were asked to sit in the bar area. But they didn't offer us any drinks or ask if we needed anything while we waited. The mains had too much garam masla in it. The flavours and textures of the food had great potential, but didn't quite get there. The restaurant space was great, enough room for our group of 7. All the food, drinks and cutlery fit well. And we had plenty of space between us and the next tables. Often tables can be too small and crowded for large groups at restaurants. Decor and music was beautiful.

Attended a private event here a while back. It was well executed with good quality food and drinks, in a lovely setting. Service was very friendly and have been meaning to go back for a meal. Highly recommend.

Visited with group of people. Expectation was really high because it’s a good banded chain restaurant, unfortunately food taste, quality and service was nothing near our expected level. Paner starer i had no taste. Wrong marination!! table sauces came after have finished our starer. Main meal was awful. Seems to me people go there for so called brand or name and fame. Be aware !!

Sadly, I have to agree with some recent reviews. I wont be returning. I have dined here many times over the years ( but not recently) and took friends for dinner. Attentive staff, but food quality has deteriorated and much more expensive. They neglected to serve a round of beverages, the servings were miserly, quality of food so-so. Management needs a big shake-up.

This used to be my go to place in the late 00’s, brought a friend here full of high expectations, it was a let down from start to finish. The food is nothing like it was, small dishes and nothing stand out at all. Perhaps everywhere has moved forward and BB hasn’t, it felt tired.

Held my wedding reception at the conservatory. Outstanding food, brilliant hosting and stunning venue. The service was immaculate and well lead by the restaurant manager, Benny. All dishes were served on time across 100+ guests. Their professionalism was brilliant to watch and experience, as there was constant flow of food and timely of dishes. All guests have complimented the food and the unbelievable service. I am forever grateful to Benny hosting this event for my wedding with a stunning array of dishes. I highly recommend to eat at Bombay brasserie with delicious dishes, great quantity and the spices were memorable. Thank you again for this brilliant day - I will definitely be back to eat at this top Indian restaurant in UK!

Amazing experience...right from the moment we enter to the moment we left the place. The staff were Amazing very attentive. Food was lovely...was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. Will definitely go back.

The service and food is par excellence. Highly recommended, if you like Indian Food.

Great experience, limited choice of vegetarian variety, chaat and paneer curry was really good. Very attentive staff, great service.

Very nice Indian restaurant that was recommended to me by an Indian friend from London. The dishes are tasty and very nice presented. I had lamb. The portion was very large. My wife had the curry with shrimps. The curry sauce tasted very very fresh. The personnel is very friendly, attentive and considerate making sure you will have a great experience. The location has lots of atmosphere with many old photos decorating the walls that you want to check out. A great place with great food en people!

Excellent Indian food. Great service and staff. Recommend to preorder to receive your food as quickly as possible.

Amazing food, lovely decor and friendly waiting staff. We have eaten here before and absolutely loved the experience. We visited again on Saturday and were not disappointed.

Very elegant brasserie, beautiful bar at the entrance with a fire place. The service was very polite and helpful. The food was delicious but a bit spicier than I expected, couldn’t finish it.

Attended an office celebration party at this venue. Food is authentic Indian, service is perfect "athithi devo bhava" "Guest is my lord" and ambience is classy.

From having a wonderful experience a few years ago at this place, I was so disappointed with the quality of the food last night. Given my Indian heritage, I know when the food has been freshly cooked or taken out of the freezer and reheated. Anyways, unless I hear different, there is no way I am ever going back to this place.

No pictures as I was meeting dear friends and we were busy chatting! The ambiance, unobtrusive service n authentic North Indian food was great on my palate after weeks of bland food (travelling through Europe). Do visit if you can. Their chicken briyani was delicious

One of the best Indian restaurants in London

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in London. The food is exceptional, as is the service and ambience. It is well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere and food. Came to the restaurant for valentines dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed it

I dined solo at the Bombay Brasserie in late February 2024. It was a first-class experience. The service was impeccable and the food superb. Amongst the best Indian meals I have had. Highly recommend.

Excellent environment for guests to meet and greet

Went here for a birthday dinner…. Good food and service to match.

Amazing place to eat the most authentic Indian food. The ambience and the hospitality were truly amazing. Kudos to the staff for taking care of us from the start and helping us settle down. The buffet was filled with delicious chaat items ranging from paani puri to bhel puri and some nibbles. The starters included chicken, prawns and a vegetable patty with salads. Lot of good options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Everything tasted authentic and it was similar to what you get in India. I highly recommend this place 👌👌👌👌👌

Classy Indian restaurant. Excellent service.

Unfortunately, the food serve is mediocre at best. Make sure not to try the duck as it lacks the taste. Tikka Chicken not bad but again for the price it would need to be extraordinary! Even the garlic naan bread lacked flavour. A garlic Naan! Its all about quality ingredients so I would recommend the owner to invest in Spanish garlic to enhance flavour. Otherwise everything lacked the flavour:/

The food was overpriced and not seasoned correctly. Im not being picky really. It is the disease of London restaurants, not using simply salt and pepper correctly. If restaurant in mainland Europe where like this they would be out of business!

We had a wonderful buffet lunch at the Bombay Brasserie last Sunday. We were celebrating 3 family birthdays here for the second year running and found the food and service to be consistently excellent, and the relaxed ambience makes it a perfect place for a celebration of mixed ages . The choice of food is perfect for both young children and adults, and the 6 year old loved his birthday candle! Thank you.

Good food, great portions, luxurious setting, just not cozy enough to make you want to go back

We enjoyed a delightful meal featuring a wide array of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, complemented by delicious Indian snacks. The host, Mr. Amey Sawant, exudes warmth and cheerfulness, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance was pleasing, and the food quality stood out. I particularly relished the sweets, including kheer, beetroot halwa, and kulfi. Our visit for Saturday brunch was thoroughly enjoyable, and I look forward to returning.

If you like Indian food it's a nice place to go for Dinner

Upon walking into this restaurant, we were greeted by a pleasant woman who led us to our reserved table. Reservations aren't required. On scanning the menu, we were astonished to see the lack of options for an Indian restaurant. There were very limited curry options for both chicken and lamb, however the taste seemed authentic. The chicken biryani was good but the portion size was small, like every other dish, including the starters. We had ordered one mango juice, which tasted alright, but that was the only thing that was alright. Finally onto the price. The aforementioned mango juice costed a mere £8 and an £128 meal for 2 was a step closer to extortion. We left rather bemused and we will certainly not be returning.

The best Indian restaurant on London I have experienced so far.

We were offended by the hostess's welcome. Lack of professionalism.

I visited Bombay brasserie on the Christmas Eve. This was my second visit, we had invited our friends who were visiting London for a short trip. The first time I visited the restaurant was with my partner few years back, we enjoyed the service and food hence we went ahead and Invited our important guests here, reserved before hand. I was shocked to see from the time we Entered the service was so poor. Staff is not trained for the high end name of the restaurant, I get better service in a average restaurant then this. We were with a pram with Kids, staff didn't have any manners to remove the caution stop, I had to ask them twice. Again after entering we had to wait to be seated while we were already reserved. The worst part the staff was so lost while taking orders, didn't have proper knowledge of the menu and also while serving, no proper manners to do plating, just handed to our hands. It was so awkward they kept coming to our table asking if they should clear and if we are done. This is a high end restaurant? Literally 5 times we were disturbed and asked if we are done and should we clear the table as if they just want us to leave. It was so embarrassing for us. Mainly the food served didn't meet our expectations aswell, very very average. Poor quality, bad presentation. I was highly disappointed, would not recommend it. I am an influencer, I try many restaurants around London, this was the worst experience. The bill I paid was £420 and I felt I dumbed my money in garbage. Very sad experience. Staff needs to be trained, food needs to meet the name of Taj!!!!

the food was fine. cauliflower was good but not spicy at all (a little bland), chicken didn’t taste indian at all (really bland and plain), naan/paratha were amazing (crunchy and chewy), drink (zingy) was great. there were not enough options for the main course or the desserts. out of 5 desserts only 3 (counting mango icecream) were actually indian. the atmosphere was great and the staff were really polite. for the price, there should be more options.

I appreciated the above-average food at the restaurant, although it didn't quite live up to the hype. The service was excellent—attentive without being pushy. However, vegetarians might find limited options, and the cuisine seemed more tailored for the locals. Overall, a good experience but not extraordinary.

Awesome experience, the bar in the lounge with a fireplace is cozy and stylish. we've tried the prestige tasting menu and all the food was fantastic! Very attentive service.

It’s an amazing and nice dining experience. The service is good. Food is delicious. Love the lamb chop, butter chicken curry and chaat. Desserts are the best, all are really nice and beyond our expectations. The portion is high and all tasted soooo good. They offer a special birthday surprise, quite interesting. The decor and space of the restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommended for special occasions or celebrations.

Delicious food , lovely atmosphere and service. Huge succulent prawns ( a little expensive but market forces ). Always delicious here

Had an average, decent visit to Bombay Brasserie. It was my first time. The service was good, and the staff was friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good too. Food was slightly disappointing. Naan was dry, and some of the curry dishes just didn’t go right. They need to work harder to compete with Jamavar, Bombay Bustle, Pahli Hill, Dishoom etc!

Quite disappointed as my previous visits to Bombay Brasserie were nothing short of fantastic. We visited this last week as a group of 6 for brunch. The main hall was taken up by a wedding reception and we were relegated to a smaller section in the front. We could make out that the service was visibly slow and forced. The food was average at best, cocktails uninspiring (we had to send back the red hot chilli pepper cocktail)and poorly designed, definitely not worthy of carrying the Taj brand name. Limited starters with only the chicken tikka being of any note. Only two of the mains were ok, the kadhi and lamb. The rest were below par at best. The desserts were perhaps the worst, few but stale. The jalebis were stale and chewy, the cake / brownie was visible stale and dry. We decided to leave and have cocktails and dessert elsewhere. Didn't expect to go to a fine dining Taj restaurant and want to pay the bill quickly to go off and get some satisfying food and drink. Was very sad to see that my favourite Indian restaurant in UK had gone down so badly. I hope the management take drastic steps to remedy this situation.

They did not have a record of our table booking through this app

Upscale Indian restaurant with delicious and pretty authentic Indian food. Plenty of vegetarian choices, friendly staff. I'd go back

Upscale place, delicious food, friendly staff. There Baingan (eggplant) is definitely one of the best ones I've had! Naans are fresh and made in brick oven. Recommended!!!

We were in London for the weekend and decided to go to the Bombay Brasserie. It’s been a few years since we were last here . The food, atmosphere and service was still great We ordered the lamb shank , chicken tikka makhani, bindi curry and cauliflower curry with plain nans and egg Paratha. All the dishes were so tasty. They gave us complimentary popodums to start . For 3 of us with soft drinks the meal came to ~ £130 which may seem pricy but not bad for London and we were very full after this . Also it’s a bonus that there was no automatic service charge and they have a no tipping policy . The only thing missing was the pianist which they used to have years ago. In any case we will be back when we are next here. This is our favourite Indian restaurant in London. Being Asian we know authentic Indian food !

I had an exceptional experience. Every part was exemplary. The food is out of this world and the service is attentive and helpful. Highly recommended

It was OK but not outstanding. Service was very good - attentive without being intrusive. Two diners were veggie, and there was a reasonable choice (though maybe not as much as some Indian restaurants). Although the portion sizes were ok for me personally, as I have a small appetite, I don't think just a main dish would satisfy a hungry guy - would need a starter and some sides. Also, the prices are quite high, even for central London. However, the quality was good. What spoilt the evening a bit was the fact that last orders are strictly 9 pm (isn't that a bit early for central London - I think 9:30 is more normal?) Two diners arrived 8:50 having had a 2.5 hour journey - so it was all a bit rushed and we did feel a bit pressured to order and get out by 10 pm - I think we were the last ones left by then,

This place is just amazing - could only try the appetisers and the desert and both were just amazing

Super yummy! I’ve been coming to Bombay Brasserie for over a decade. I find the food to be very good and the service is warm. They offer authentic Indian beer choices and provide attentive service. I’ll go back for another 10 years!

Just remember few years back we were there in U.K Amazing food and Ambiance V close to Gloucester tube subway station

Bon mais extrêmement cher - super cadre et un service irréprochable - mais alors l'addition pour 2 plats comptez plus de 100£

Beautiful ambience wonderful food just amazingly

The food was wonderful full of flavour. The customer service was excellent, but I think the meal was overpriced for what we got.

The food was ok not brilliant BUT the biggest problem was that the team were watching you like a hawk and as soon as you finish they would jump on you to cross sell. After having the desert, the waiter came over and said ' can I get you anything else' we said no thanks, the waiter said 'well can I get you the bill' !!!! I beg your pardon! we have never had the waiter offering the bill lol - won't be going back again. Also the place is well over priced.

Fantastic food and service. This is easily the best Indian restaurant in London in my opinion. This is my ‘go to’ restaurant whenever I’m in London for business or pleasure.

Weekend Brunch buffet Top quality Indian food. Excellent service. A tad too expensive...

Very rude and discourteous service… we were a group of 6 adults and 2 kids… gave them good business ordering all courses and multiple rounds of expensive drinks. Gin tonic is £15 for example… however we were almost “thrown out” once the bill was settled … not a very civil way of treating guests at all. I would understand if it was a takeaway…

I went for the buffet, and although a little pricey the options and quality were good. Could have had a vegan dessert as there was only fruit

This was an absolutely fabulous buffet lunch. The quality of the food and number of dishes available as starters, mains and desserts was great. As soon as we arrived, we were seated and drinks orders taken and by the time we had arrived back at the table with our starters, the drinks had arrived. The service was outstanding with nothing too much trouble and food replaced quickly when dishes were empty. Although on the higher side for a buffet (£50 per head per adult), we were happy to pay this for the opulent interior, genial hosts and quality of food and service. We will be arranging to visit again in the very near future.

The experience at Bombay Brasserie is always amazing. I try to visit on all my trips to London!

To begin with we are very familiar with South Asian food having visited the region several times and frequenting restaurants in both North America and Europe. This restaurant was extreamly disappointing. They present themselves as high end. We showed up with no reservations and the hostess acted like she really put herself out just to seat us. They have an extreamly large dining area that had plenty of seating. As we dined we noticed more staff than patrons so staffing was not the issue either. The food was extreamly bland and unremarkable. Inexpensive takeout is better. The servers did no have a clue about dining repeatedly taking the utensils off of our plates and placing them back on the table between courses, reaching over our plates etc etc. They were so invasive it was uncomfortable. The restaurant is nicely set up and decorated. Too bad the food and service are subpar.

A charity event for Pardada Pardadi but absolutely amazing food and service even with so many of us

Ogni volta che ci rechiamo a Londra, torniamo sempre in questo ristorante in cui si può assaporare una verace cucina indiana! Piatti succulenti sia di carne che di pesce e squisiti sono anche i piatti vegetariani, il tutto accompagnato da naan buonissimi! La carta è ampia; il servizio cortese e attento alle esigenze del cliente! Bravissimi, siete una certezza!!! Consigliatissimo!!!!

Fabulous food, delicious. Definitely go again service excellent

Ogni visita e’ un’esperienza indimenticabile. Ottimo cibo in ambiente raffinato

I recently dined at this remarkable Indian food restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely enchanting culinary journey! Having savored dishes at numerous Michelin-starred establishments in my lifetime, this gem of a restaurant effortlessly stands out. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a warm and inviting staff whose hospitality added a delightful touch to the entire experience. They truly understand the art of making guests feel at home. The attention to detail in every aspect was simply impeccable. The ambiance exuded an authentic Indian charm, transporting me to the heart of the subcontinent. The décor was thoughtfully curated, and the soft strains of traditional music added an ethereal touch. Now, onto the pièce de résistance—the food. Each dish was a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The chef's expertise and creativity shone brightly through every plate. It was evident that they had meticulously crafted each dish to perfection. While I relished every bite, I couldn't help but compare the fish curry to those I've had in my coastal hometown. It was delicious, no doubt, but being from a coastal area, I couldn't help but have high expectations. Perhaps a tad more intensity in the flavors would have made it truly outstanding. Nevertheless, this is a restaurant that has set new standards for Indian cuisine, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable gastronomic adventure. It's a culinary haven that combines the best of India's rich traditions with a modern twist, and I eagerly look forward to my next visit!

I wouldn't recommend this place to Indians who expect a bit of spiciness and flavorful food. Here, the food is predominantly dominated by a citrusy sour taste, and it lacks the representation of dishes from the western part of India, such as Maharashtrian cuisine. Most of the dishes I tried were quite bland. First of all, the food is dominated by an excessive citrusy sour flavor, which is quite overwhelming. The pani puri was a disappointment. As a chef in a luxury hotel, if you don't know how to balance flavors properly, it can result in an odd taste. Additionally, the chicken biryani was the worst biryani I have ever tasted. If you don't know how to prepare it correctly, I wonder why it's even on the menu.The apple mojito lacked balance and was not to my liking.

Excellent service …excellent staff …specially staff member Binny

Recommended by friends, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Great ambiance and food to match, well with a visit.

My favorite Indian in London, we enjoyed a great food and service again

It was a Sunday evening, perhaps why the restaurant was virtually empty. This affected the ambiance. The food was good, but not memorable. The service was a bit slow, maybe a reflection of the overall mood of the almost empty restaurant. I would give Bombay Brasserie a second chance. I don't think our experience was normal.

We can’t thank the team enough. Benny and his team looked after us so well for my sisters wedding lunch. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the team did so well in all aspects. The day was perfect and our guests loved the event! Thank you so much!

Visited Bombay Brasserie with my wife for an afternoon brunch. The brunch has a separate menu and it costs 60 pounds a head. Theo is located near Gloucester Road tube station and when you come out the station turn right into Courtfield Close and the restaurant is right there The place is very well decorated with some pictures from India from what I would say is British Raj The place caters a wide variety of mock tails and cocktails so worth checking and ordering it The service is spot on and yeh you are well looked after We had the pleasure of the Main Chef Sriram cooking when we attended and I am sure the standards are same when he is not there. The food was very delicious and as it was a buffet brunch we helped ourselves to a lot of various dishes. Dishes which we never try As a vegetarian I was bit worried as when you look at the menu it is not really clear what the veg dishes are I didn’t had to worry they were spot on I had some idly chutney Managalore Goli Baje (if you had the original this is no where near it but is a nice touch) rice, Dal Makanai, some potatoes, curd rice, bisi belabath and Nan bread o should have ordered one, but ordered two and it was too much There was papadoms was nice and the mango chutney was slightly spicy but nice We missed the deserts as there was no space in my tummy (haha) Lovely place and I would definitely recommend it Three cheers to the staff and chef in there We will be back :) Thank you

This is my third visit to this elegant establishment. It is always a good sign when many of the clientele are from the native country where the cuisine originates from. Service was attentive. They were welcoming to the children. The dishes with nuts in it were clearly marked on the menu, as one of the group had a nut allergy. The mocktails were decadent. As with all things in the UK the prices had risen, portion sizes were modest for what you’re paying for. The culinary experience was not as mind blowing as when I went there in pre-covid times. The desserts were tantalisingly delicious.

Step into Bombay Brasserie and you're hit with a wall of liquor that's practically a liquid treasure chest. Situated near Gloucester station, this place is a feast for the eyes, but be prepared to work some extra hours to afford the liquid dreams on their drinks menu. After being ushered into the main dining area, which was tastefully decorated, we were bestowed with the holy duo of chutney and papadums. That chutney could almost make anything taste good! The starters waltzed in, led by the palakpatta chaat, trying its best to outdo its rival at The Fat Pundit. It's was like a dance-off between the two- flavorful, but this palak chaat could've used a bit more drama. Then the achari paneer tikka entered, like that one friend who always promises a party but shows up with a pack of playing cards - a bit underwhelming. Enter the chicken tikka makhani. The chicken was so seasoned, it had more layers than a soap opera, and the tandoori flavor made each piece a symphony of spices. And then came the mint paratha, which I was surprised to still be able to taste the mint. Don't forget the £9 wine - the “budget” option that won't lead to bankruptcy, unlike some of their other choices. In the end, Bombay Brasserie left me feeling like a budget detective at a luxurious masquerade ball. I couldn't help but compare it to Dishoom, where my wallet and taste buds would do a happy dance. But if you're here to flaunt your fancy pants and make a statement, this place will have you strutting like a peacock. Just make sure you stick to the chicken tikka; it's the Beyoncé of their menu. Overall rating: 3/5 - The Bombay dream might not be my personal food fairytale, but it's got enough glamour to light up a star-studded evening.

A very fine dining experience. Especially if u like Indian food. Excellent food, tasty and yummy. Staff are very friendly and helpful and go out of the way to make u comfortable.
