Bombay Wraps

Awesome place for a quick bite that satisfies the time and stomach in the heart of downtown Chicago!!!

Cool take on Indian street fast food, but a little greasy and messy.
I love Indian street food and I love it even more when people think of new ways to make Indian food a «grab’n’go» style of food. This was my first time visiting Bombay Wraps and overall I was pretty satisfied. My sister and I a samosa wrap and the channa wrap and then we split them.
Overall, the food wasn’t bad. We ordered the wraps «spicy» but i wish they were a little more spicy. The wraps were also pretty messy so it was kind of hard to eat and easier to eat with knife and fork. But, the lady preparing our food did warn us of that. I liked that the wraps were made of paratha, which was a nice nostalgic thing for me from my childhood. We also ordered the sweet potato masala fries which were cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside, slightly soft inside and incredibly seasoned.
I would recommend this place to someone who wanted something on the go and were downtown. Not sure if there are comparable places (I’m sure there are), but overall, I was pretty satisfied with my first visit there!

Probably best place to eat fast Indian food! Must try the samosa wrap! Clean and affordable place:)

My experience here left a bitter taste in my mouth. Mind you, I’ve eaten here before and I was expecting an overall good experience with food and customer service. I came in today, 6÷7÷16, at around 5:20 pm, and clearly ordered for an unwrapped Chicken Tikka. The line server put it on a wrap, which I politely reminded him that I ordered it «unwrapped.» Right after being reminded, he gave me the stankiest stanky face his face can handle, then slapped the chicken pieces back into the container. Why do you treat customers that way? I hope management reads this and puts you in your place because this Unilocaler does not love what he saw today. Horrible service! I ended up leaving shocked, cancelling my order because I don’t support servers with bad behavior who aren’t hospitable in this field. What a contradiction.

It was fast and good, but I thought the wrap would be more of a naan type bread which it is not. At least not quality naan. I would get the bowl next time. The samosas I would not get again despite the fact that I love samosas

They were out of the menu choice I wanted (chicken tikka). The wrap I got was good but I was disappointed they were out of a main menu item in the middle of the day.

This is a hidden gem in streeterville the food is wonderful the staff espically HUGO goes above and beyond for the customers helping, answering questions even giving out great suggestions. i had the chicken tikka which was like a party in my mouth i really loved it. I am going to recommend bo

Stopped in for a quick lunch last week, and was definitely a fan! It’s quick, the flavors are good (had the chicken tikka masala wrap), and there’s free wi-​fi. Definitely a great option if you want to venture from the normal soup/​salad/​sandwich lunch options. I’ll definitely be back, and here’s hoping they eventually add more locations.

First time I tried this place I enjoyed my meal. Flavorful, great everything (well I thought the samosas were tiny but they still tasted good). But I forgot to leave a review, I went back earlier this week and could not finish what I bought. EVERYTHING I got the 2 wraps and fries all tasted over the top salty! I took a few bites of each just so I had some food to take some painkillers to coat my stomach and that’s all I could tolerate.
The place is exceptionally clean and the folks are nice, good customer service. Idk what happened with the food so I’m giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe was an odd day… I know il go one more time but if it’s not good in changing my rating.

Great concept, making Indian food easy to take on the go. Tried the tikka masala wrap and sweet potato fries with a side of yogurt sauce.
The fries came with a spicy sweet sauce that was pretty good, the heat creeps up on you.
The wraps are the perfect size made from nan and lightly toasted
Very good for the price
Will venture here again

I was really excited about the concept of Bombay Wraps because I love Indian food. I ordered the Tikka chicken wrap but unfortunately, the chicken was rather dry and the flavors weren’t very good. Despite being drenched in sauce, the food was somehow bland. The sweet potato fries were redeeming but really, how do you screw those up?
The workers also somehow managed to make me feel rushed for my order even though the restaurant was empty. It must be a gift.
I’ll probably give it a second chance considering it’s a good price point, but if I’d rather go to somewhere like Naansense if I’m craving quick Indian food.

Was not expecting this place to be so great. Having moved from the UK where Indian food has become a country favorite, Chicago had a lot to live up to. Bombay Wraps is a quick place to get a taste of well flavored chicken, lamb or paneer. My favorites are chicken reshmi or lamb curry. The wraps are actually really tasty Indian parathas which makes these a more substantial snack/​meal than similar I have had at other places (where a chapati is used).
Too it off with a cool mango lassi which is a nice compliment to the spiced (med or high options) wraps. Defo worth a try when you fancy a quick bite.

Been here a few more times and the food is growing on me. My usual is the Chickpea Chana unwrapped on a salad, vegetarian and healthy, while also tasting really good. It’s not quite enough all on its own to fill me up, but nothing some sweet potato fries can’t fix. Those are good, and well seasoned so they don’t even need the spicy ketchup sauce they come with. The Chicken Tikka wrap is also very tasty, the chicken still moist and the sauce just delicious. The menu now includes some breakfast items, various wraps involving eggs, so we tried one of them. Can’t remember the name (and their website doesn’t have them up yet), but it was eggs, peppers, and tomatoes cooked with Indian seasoning. Substantial size for a cheaper wrap, but it was a bit oily (see pic). Enjoyed the flavor, but the amount of oil was a bit of a turn off (nothing that can’t be corrected though).

Got takeaway about 20 minutes before close — their rice supply had been exhausted for the day, so I opted to order just the chicken tikka and sauce sans the wrap or salad.
I didn’t know how well Indian could be prepared in this fast casual model, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken breast was super fresh and cooked to near perfection — the sauce is not necessary, but have some anyway because it’s way too good to waste.
I’ll be going back

Was pretty excited to try this place. I have been to the infamous «Kati Roll» in NYC, and loved it, so I had high expectations for this place. Came here for lunch on a quiet Monday afternoon. The rolls seemed kind of small so I got 2, the chicken tikka and the panner. I would not consider this chicken tikka at all. There was very little flavor to the chicken. It tasted like the oven baked chicken breast from subway with added psuedo tikka masala. The «Paneer» doesn’t have the cheese like flavor real paneer does, its more of a tofu blocks with the same
«psuedo masala’. I added onions and spicy sauce which wasn’t spicy at all. Although its called «Bombay Wraps’ it doesnt really have the exotic spice/​flavor profile indian food has, its very Bland/​Americanized. Its about as indian, as Taco bell is Mexican. The food isn’t bad, just expected more from this good concept.

I was visiting my sister in Chicago and we stopped in at Bombay Wraps for a quick dinner. Being a resident of NYC and a frequent visitor of kati rolls, I was curious how this place would compare.
I got the cheese paneer wrap and the chickpea channa. The wrap fell apart the minute I tried to eat it! Either the wraps themselves were not big enough to roll or the folks preparing the food need more training. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience of eating here.

Over-​rated. Super salty chicken over rice, beef wrap, and sweet potato fries. Loved the concept but food didn’t meet expectations. Chicken was juicy. Won’t come again unless the salt issue is solved.

Pros: Tasty bites, quick service, friendly staff, clean restaurant
Cons: Price, small portions, inconsistent sizing
Came here to grab dinner the other night. Clean set up and super friendly staff even with the store coming close to closing time. The ordering and prep works pretty similar to a Chipotle line, where you can choose between a wrap or salad bowl and then pick from a variety of traditional Indian fillings. Being a bit on the hungrier side, I opted for 2 wraps and tried the chicken tikka and lamb curry wraps. I have so say both were pretty tasty, however I noticed the chicken tikka wrap had considerably less meat than my curry lamb wrap. At just under $ 12, I have to say I expected a good amount of food, but my togo bag definitely felt a bit on the lighter side. And after inhaling both, I definitely was still hungry.
Maybe portion control is a good thing, but I must say I expected more for what I paid. Also, I forgot to add that both came with options for spicy or mild. Mild is really mild, I’ll give the spicy a chance the next time I’m in. I really hope they adjust their portions and pricing accordingly, because other than that the food is really good!
‘Til next time!

Rosa J. loves the Chicago «neighborhoods.» Customers at work often ask her for recommendations on local «quick bite» places in downtown/​loop/​Streeterville areas, but she freezes and feels a bit embarrassed since she’s a self-​proclaimed «Chicago foodie.»
Well, that’s about to change. She has started broadening her horizon in the downtown Chicago area.
Back to the usage of first-​person pronoun, I purchased a groupon on Bombay Wraps since it’s a place that hubby can partake since many items on the menu are vegetarian-​friendly. Apparently, it’s a fairly new joint, with chic-​looking furniture, bright lights, and clean facilities.
The groupon basically provided $ 10-​worth of credit to spend on food and beverages. I chose the unwrapped version of lamb curry, while hubby picked the two (2) wraps meal combo special.
If you have chosen the «unwrapped» option, it would be presented on a plate with a cup of spiced lime vinaigrette dressing (similar to a salad bowl… in an Indian style). I personally thought the meal combo deal was right on the money. The «wrapped» style would cost less than the «unwrapped» version. If you were to choose two (2) wraps, you could get a fountain pop for $ 0.99 extra. For instance, hubby’s potato tava wrap ($ 3.99), samosa wrap ($ 3.99), and a fountain drink ($ 0.99) would make the entire meal under $ 10.
We paid approximately $ 10-​difference since the lamb curry was one of the most expensive items on the menu ($ 8.99). I wouldn’t consider the portions as generous, yet they were enough for individuals with healthy appetites.
My lamb curry «salad» was average. Although I requested «spicy,» it wasn’t anything strong that would cause a burning sensation. Hubby enjoyed his wraps, but he did agree with me that the entire meal was on a «pricer» side.
Nevertheless, I would prefer Bombay Wraps over other «fast-​foodie» commercial chains nearby in a heartbeat! The dining room was very comfortable, with Indian music videos constantly playing. Who wouldn’t like synchronized dance moves and syncopated music beats?
This location is pretty close to the Navy Pier and Lake Shore Drive. If you ever end up staying or visiting in the downtown/​Magnificent Mile part of town, Bombay Wraps would be a good alternative if you are trying to steer away from the Mc*ona*d’s.

I love me some Bombay Wraps. A newer fast food entrant to the Streeterville area, Bombay Wraps provides wraps and plates of popular Indian street food at reasonable prices in a well lit, modern and funky dining space.
Get your wrap ($ 3-​$ 7) in flaky buttery paratha bread or whole wheat roti. I prefer paratha. Wrap fillings run from spicy potatoes or paneer cheese for vegetarian options, to savory lamb curry or probably the most popular, tender chicken tikka for meat options. Samosas (Indian veggie rangoons, essentially) are excellent. Haven’t tried desserts. You can build your own fountain drink, buy familiar bottled favorites, or be adventurous like me and try the goofy foreign drinks. The mango juice box was sweet but had spices in it. Not good. The aloe/​honey drink from Thailand, however, was a hit.
An ultra-​suave British/​Indian looking bloke must be the proprietor of this spot. He’s there a lot. Other than that, employees are cheery and helpful.
A TV plays Bollywood stuff over the dining room, which is funny to watch. Look up «Bollywood Boss video» for a laugh.
I love loyalty/​rewards programs but BW may just have too many. From Spring Rewards to a loyalty punch card to AAdvantage Dining miles, methinks they’re giving away too much for marketing.
