Bombay's

The food was average and we spent 50 bucks for that which was not worth it. You can always go to Chipotle and other cheaper options that are available in market.

This was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. I popped in for a quick late lunch yesterday around 2:45pm. I work about a block from here, and Bombay's is a bit under the radar compared to other nearby establishments, including most of the ones on its own block - Fraunces Tavern and Dead Rabbit on the other side on Water Street are nearby neighbors. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I walked in, but it was definitely much more casual than I assumed from the exterior. It's one step up from self-service buffet style, and they were expecting mine to be a to-go order - there is no wait service here, nor is it needed. It's very no-frills, and gives off almost an ethnic fast food vibe. If you're looking for a formal white tablecloth experience, this isn't it. The guy manning the food counter was very helpful/informative without being condescending. Indian food is not my wheelhouse, and I'm not ashamed to claim ignorance in that regard. Without my having to ask a lot of questions, he picked up on my lack of knowledge and immediately offered a few free samples so I could figure out which meats went best with my palate. I opted for their two meat/side of naan lunch special, which came to about $16 or $17. I have to think chicken tikka masala is the best known of the mainstream Indian dishes or close to it; it's one I've actually had before and enjoyed - that was an easy call. My initial second selection was a lamb dish that the guy immediately cautioned was spicy, and he offered me a quick nip to confirm. I could have handled it theoretically, but it was a LITTLE too much for my palate. Instead I opted for the curry chicken. I was again given the caveat that most of that dish had bone in it, but when I demurred and asked if I could double up on the tikka masala, he immediately told me he'd just give me the boneless chunks of the breast meat instead. Very pleasant fellow, and a significant part of the positive experience overall. I loved the chicken tikka masala. It was honestly one of the better versions I've had, with a sauce that was just the right balance of milkiness and tomato. In both chicken dishes, the meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. I wasn't as crazy about the curry sauce - it was a little too bland, which is rare for me to say when it comes to Indian food. So in the future, I'd probably just steer clear and zero in again on the tikka masala. For my naan side, they let me have the garlic one, which was very scrumptious. Not the best I've had, but solid overall - not as airy and crispy as I usually like it, but it was devoured promptly nonetheless. The service was excellent for what it was. Again, you didn't have a waiter involved in the meal, so my experience was limited to the fellow behind the food display and the guys over on the other side prepping the naan. Beyond the informative guidance provided by the gentleman with the meats, I thought it was kind of sweet that the two cooks over at the naan station profusely apologized for the wait on the garlic naan, which amounted to...maybe 30 seconds. Clearly high standards on the turnaround. This is a little pricey for a super casual, fast food-type experience, even for the area. As a result this probably won't be a regular spot but I can certainly envision myself being a repeat customer in the not-too-distant future.

Very nice food. You will miss if nearby at NewYork. All Indian cousins are available. Very popular here for corporate officers. They are regular for lunch.
