What our guests are saying

Absolutely incredible food and service!! Very much recommend the samosa chat (unlike any I’ve had at other restaurants), spicy lal mirch, chicken vindaloo and of course the garlic naan. Everything was so flavorful and came out quickly! The service and atmosphere was also top notch— our server was so attentive and even gave me complimentary lassi and raita when my food was a little spicier than I anticipated😅 Truly a hidden gem, would 10/10 recommend and go again.

I have had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday for the past three years at Bombay Street Food. Every year has been such a positive experience and it keeps me coming back. The food is always delicious. The staff is incredibly kind. This year we brought in a cake and the staff brought the cake out after we were done with our entrees with candles lit and it was perfect. I look forward to celebrating more birthdays at Bombay Street Food because every year they make me feel so special. Thank you so much Bombay Street Food.

We catered from Bombay for our office Diwali celebration, and everything was absolutely amazing! The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and a huge hit with everyone. The owner went above and beyond — even adding extra dishes with our guests in mind, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We truly appreciated their kindness, professionalism, and delicious food. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again for future events!
