"The Bombay Bistro is a really great restaurant. The food is close to perfect. Updated yet authentic Indian. Only downside is the noise. The restaurant was full on a Saturday night and we had a hard time hearing each other! But, the food was worth it!"

"This was our second time and the food and service were great. There were four of us. We had 2 appetizers and 4 entrees. All the food was really yummy but it was way too much food. You could easily only 3 entrees and still have leftovers."

"I decided to go here for dinner with my husband and my twelve year old son after having their lunch buffet a few weeks prior. The atmosphere is elegant withiut being stuffy, so that anyone can feel comfortable sitting down for a meal as long as you are wearing tasteful attire. The food is absolutely authentic and delicious. Each dish is bursting with wonderful Indian herbs and spices. My husband recently went on a business trip to India and he said that the food is very authentic and this was clearly evidenced by Indian locals who were dining there as well. The service was terrific and our waiter was very attentive. I am looking forward to many more visits!"
