I've been here for dinner & lunch, always good, especially the Korma dishes. The lunch buffet is a deal, and the iced tea tastes like fresh brewed - a rarity! Not much atmosphere, but who cares when you're scooping up great sauce with naan... More

We still eat here often, but miss the old Bombay, which was a funky, fun, place to eat. The owners went upscale with the decor and added a generic sports bar next door. The food is still very good, but the price of entrees seems to go up by a dollar every year. More

I love the food here, it is definitely one of my favorites. Unfortunately, because it is one of two Indian restaurants in GR, Bombay's prices are pretty high. In many parts of the country, Indian places like this would come at bargain prices, but because Bombay is a sort of novelty for this area, expect to pay about $15 -... More

I met friends at Bombay Cuisine, and I have to say that we had a good time. Bombay has a lot of beverage options (including those from the bar next door), so we enjoyed trying the variety of draught beers. The atmosphere was fairly nice, but it is located on a busy street, so I'm glad we didn't agree to... More

I went to Bombay Cuisine for a special occasion dinner with a friend and I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the place. I had been there years ago before they expanded it and now it is nothing like what I remember. Although the service and atmosphere were pleasant, I felt the prices were way out of... More

I love Indian food and have enjoyed it at many different restaurants (outside of Grand Rapids). Bombay Cuisine has a very high TripAdvisor rating so I was expecting something special. The restaurant is in an interesting neighborhood, the decor and ambiance is comfortable and our waiter was very friendly. The menu showed all my favorites and our party of 4... More

Yummy Indian food, in my opinion. Their Sunday buffet is quite tasty. However, I haven't been to their new location next door.... More
