Upon entering Bombay Delight, you are welcomed by the kind and helpful staff, especially Sid, who played a crucial role in guiding me through the menu and ensuring my dining experience was exceptional. The restaurant prides itself on bringing the vibrant and diverse flavours of India to its customers, offering a menu that includes a variety of appetizers, aromatic curries, tandoori delights, freshly baked bread, and sumptuous desserts. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available, ensuring there is something to satisfy every palate.
I began my meal with a refreshing Coco Banana mocktail, a delightful blend of banana, pineapple, and mango cream, served ice-cold. Accompanied by poppadoms and a lovely selection of dips including fresh mint, mango chutney with herbs, and a beetroot dip, it was a perfect start. My starter, a vegan option of Samosa Chaat, was beautifully presented. The crispy samosa combined with chickpeas, fresh onion, and tomato in a mint tamarind sauce offered a delightful mix of textures and flavours.
For the main course, I opted for the Jhinga Masala, a king prawn curry cooked to perfection with onions, garlic, and tomatoes. The prawns were creamy and well-cooked, paired perfectly with fresh white rice and Lachha Paratha, the best naan bread I’ve ever had—soft with a slight grill crisp and a thin layer of meat. Additionally, the Chicken BBC was rich with a slight chili kick, adding a perfect balance of flavours. The restaurant also offers a fresh selection of fish, allowing customers to choose their catch before cooking.
The private function room, with spacious sliding doors, is ideal for gatherings and adds to the restaurant’s versatility.
