We’ve just had a delivery from the Bombay Cottage and it was absolutely incredible. Both curry’s were full of authentic flavours. The meat (lamb and chicken) were the size of tennis balls! Very generous portion sizes. Recently moved into Stamford and this is the 2nd time we have had a takeaway from them and we will not be going elsewhere! Please pass on our regards to your chefs

Last month i visited Bombay Restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was far from enjoyable. The food was below par in both taste and quality. Dal tadka very thick and not tasty at all, saag aloo were either bland, or lacked freshness. The flavors, which I had expected to be vibrant and authentic, were missing. I will not visit again.

Simply the best food in town! My parents come from Wales and every time they visit we make a ritual visit to the Bombay Cottage or order one of their amazing takeaways. It’s always amazing and we always have enough food to last another night! Great value too!!

This is out goto Indian takeaway in Stamford. All dishes can be made veggies which is great! We love the selection of veggies in the vegetable curries. We tried the saag paneer this time, which had a great flavour with perfectly cooked chucks of paneer, compared to other places, where it can be bland and watery. Friendly staff on thr phone when placing the order and quick delivery.

Looking for a curry in Stamford & found this place thanks to Trip Advisor. It was amazing! Great service, nice & clean and crisp white linen plus food was exceptional. Never had a better vegetable dhansak in my life. Only shame is I don’t live close enough to make this my local Indian but if you are in Stamford, I definitely recommend you visit!! No wonder the place was heaving all evening.

As someone who's not the biggest "curry" lover, they offered a fantastic selection of other specialty dishes. I enjoyed a fantastic Tandoori Duck Saslik with Peshwari Nan. Both were delightful. We were here as part of a triple birthday celebration for my brother, dad and Sister's partner, and it was a lovely evening. Could get a little loud at times, but it was a Saturday night, and the atmosphere was great. The staff were all fantastic, friendly but efficient. A little on the pricey side, but worth it! Would definitely visit again!

Used to be a favourite Indian take away, but it's gone down hill considerably. Once you finally get the awful website to process your order, it's over £40 plus delivery for: Garlic nan - freezing cold, not a hint of garlic. Pulao rice - cold. Chicken tikka Rogan - no flavour (so lacking in flavour you could taste the chicken "meat" taste), full of bones. Onion Bhaji - cold and rubbery. Sag ponir - cold. The onion salad and mint sauce were alright though (if not a bit watery). All of the order ended up in the bin and we've ordered elsewhere. At least our previous order to this was semi-edible. Come on Habib, you used to take pride in the food that left your establishment, what's gone wrong?

If you’re looking for a delicious Indian meal in the heart of Stamford, then look no further than The Bombay Cottage. Established in 1993, this 5-star rated restaurant is situated in a Grade 2 listed building and offers an extensive menu of traditional Indian dishes. I recently visited The Bombay Cottage and was truly blown away by the quality of the food. I started with their Chicken Shani Nariyal which was cooked to perfection and packed full of flavour. For my main course, I had the Tikka Masala - Chicken which was rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice - which was simply divine! The atmosphere at The Bombay Cottage is warm and inviting and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have an excellent selection of wines to accompany your meal as well as a range of beers, spirits and soft drinks. Overall, I had an amazing experience at The Bombay Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious Indian meal in Stamford.

The food was nice, portions are great ! however the food was luke warm. I called at 18:47 to ask how long my food might be, as the delivery time said 18:30 on the screen. the lady on the phone said that my food had just left. 19:04 i receive a call from the driver, telling me he couldn't find me. He was in the next street. I noticed he brought it too me in the pastic bag. He may have had it in a thicker, insulated bag in the car, I don't know. I felt like I had to eat it really quick , to stop it going cold. I have put 3 stars for restaurant, even though it was delivery.

Bombay Cottage has just gone completely down hill. We HAD been regular guests at Bombay Cottage and realised toward the end of lockdown 2.0 that the quality was diminishing. We thought we'd give it a go to eat in again and it'll be last time we ate in. The service was diabolical and the owner wasn't having any of it when 2.5 hours later we finally left, bearing in mind over half an hour was spent waiting for our order (food and drink) to be taken and over an hour waiting for the only course we ordered, and we said we were really dissapointed to have been forgotten about. By the time it got to us the food was substandard. Literally watching people who were seated long after us getting served drinks and food long before us. Our meal came to an astronomical price of ~£80 for two of us, 2 meals, 1 rice, 1 bread and 2 soft drinks. When I questioned this also I was wrong because "[he] would never treat his customers badly." We've just had a takeaway thinking we'll give it another go after a good few months and jesus I'm glad we've found somewhere else. Bland, overpriced and not worth the effort. Chicken has clearly been frozen and possibly even recooked as it was so rubbery and came in boulder sized chunks! Sauces were all watery. Breads were undercooked and so stodgy. Clearly this place just doesn't care anymore and just wants to hike is prices hoping to survive on the tails of its previous reputation. Go somewhere else if you want a GOOD Indian.
