Best Indian food in Minneapolis. They use authentic spices, like methi and Kari leaves. Love you Bombay Bistro.

Good buffet options. They have dosa in their buffet .idli and other items are some time very dry. Entrees and curry are good enough. service is average at best

Got here towards the end of the buffet time and they let us in, but there was just a bunch of empty sauces with no food left in them. About half of the serving trays were empty, but what little food I got to taste was not bad, with one exception: I think I ate some rotten chutney which gave me gastric trouble for the next few days. They should not have charged us full price for a buffet which had hardly any food left.

Great indian food from both North and South India. I went with a friend from India and he showed me how to eat the food. What goes with what and to not use my knife and fork at all. Really good food for vegetarians or meat lovers a alike. Fine dining with a spicy twist and you can get in and out fast over the lunch our in downtown Mpls.

I’m a HUGE Indian food fan and have tried Indian food in every city where I’ve been for an extended period of time(SF, Silicon Valley, NY, Chicago, Minneapolis) and I’ve never seen what I’ve always seen in the movies and wanted to try — the«thali.» It’s the reason I prefer the buffets over a la carte entrees — the round metal platter of variety, the«thali,» a couple friends of mine finally introduced me to a place that has it on their menu! Bombay Bistro! I ordered the non-vegetarian thali and it came with rice, naan, little bowls of chickpea curry, chicken tikka masala, and raita. The items in the bowls may change but you’ll always get a vegetarian, a chicken, and a raita @ this restaurant. It also came with a few pieces of chicken tikka and one little lamb chop. Everything was delicious — it was great to have this much variety and the roasted meats were perfect. Very moist, very tender, very flavorful. The curries were okay, could’ve been richer, but was still a great pairing with the carbs on the plate. The only drawback was that this thali was $ 27, which I thought was a little pricey. The staff were friendly, but they checked up on us a little too often. They forgot one of my friend’s drinks but wanted feedback from another friend who didn’t eat much of her entrée, to see how they could better improve the dish in the future. All in all this place is great — cute and cozy décor, good for a date, good for a friend get together, good food. It’s a little pricier than I would like though, hence 4 stars rather than 5!

Really good weekend buffet. Offers a broad range of breads, protein, and veggie dishes that are refreshed frequently. Pretty good service with a bright and clean atmosphere. If you are downtown Minneapolis and a fan of Indian cuisine, this is a stop with making.

Have never seen such a large Indian buffet before. Only been on the weekends so not sure what the weekday buffet is like. Superb food, nice staff and good variety all around. There are two types of buffets; northern and southern of you walk in one side you will see the smaller buffet — just ask them to point you to the other buffet and you will NOT be disappointed

Very underwhelming. Came here for the lunch buffet and was treated to good, fast service, but bland food. I liked the naan dipped in the chicken tikka masala sauce(all the chicken had been scooped out of the dish when we were at the buffet). Will probably stick to Kadai.

This was my first experience eating Indian. I let the owner lead my girlfriend and me to an absolutely fabulous evening of atmosphere and food. It was so tasty. Full of flavor. Looking forward to adding it to our repertoire of options for future food options.

I visited this restaurant for the first time today after reading the reviews here. I went there with a friend and at first, we were amazed at the variety of dishes they offer in their menu… The lady server(an elderly lady) was courteous. There’s a HUGE variety of dishes to choose from! We decided to order paani poori and mixed veg uttapam to have something different from the usual food we eat at home. We were informed that they do not have South Indian food for dinner, which is okay! So we ordered manchurian as an appetizer. Before we were served our paani poori, the server appeared again to ask for our order. When we told her that we aren’t here for entrée and would like to have different appetizers, she got so upset and the expression on her face was really unpleasant! Also, we had planned to have kulfi in dessert but we received our check while we were still eating. So we decided not to order it. It seemed like the staff here felt that we were a waste of a guest to invest their time and energy on. However, I’d like to give a perfect score for the food as it was spicy, tasteful and specifically typical Indian! But the staff here, except 1 – 2 persons I could see from my table, were not at all hospitable and did not seem to value all customers alike.

Excellent food here, and reasonably priced for Indian food. With tax and tip, the weekday lunch buffet is $ 13.80, which isn’t bad considering the amount of food and the cost of a lunch at other locations in the skyway. I believe there’s also a cheaper take away buffet option as well. Staff is polite, food is delicious and varied, and I’m not constantly spitting out chicken bones like I do at some other Indian places downtown. I like to come here a couple times a month with friends.

Upon friend’s recommendation went to the Sunday Brunch and was pleasently suprised. Plenty of vegetarian Options. Sardarji was making superbly fresh Roti’s.

Great food. Cute downtown restaurant! I enjoyed every bit of my meal– the naan, Dahl, and gulab were delish! My only complaint was the server sorta forgot about me for a while.

Been here twice — no complaints! Great food and service was friendly and attentive. I don’t have too much experience with Indian food but this was great. They can make it super spicy(not«Minnesota spicy» hah) and it is always served fresh. I got a lamb dish both times I went and garlic naan. The naan is absolutely delicious! Really I have no complaints with the food, lamb was soft and tender, and served hot. I’d recommend it to everyone :)

Best Indian food in the twin cities and very good service as well. We requested spicy and they made it perfect with the right amount of spice and it tasted amazing. I personally recommend the gobi 65 if you are missing spicy Indian food :) Portion sizes were very ideal. Would definitely recommend for a nice dinner on a Sunday.

This restaurant used to be my favorite restaurants to go to. But the last 2 – 3 times we’ve gone there(including today) — the food has been terrible, they never change their lunch buffet menu and today, they were missing things from the menu(like Pani Puri). Their Palak Paneer was actually bitter and so was their Sambhar. Idlis were a mess, you would be hesitant to even pick one. None of their vegetables were tasty. Their rice quality also looked poor, didn’t dare touch it. Gulab Jamuns were not cooked properly. Not only was their food horrible, the service was even poor. Only two guys were on the floor and no management was around. One guy started vacuuming right next to our table in the middle of our lunch and the vacuum cable was on our table preventing us from eating. We are never coming here again and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone else unless some changes are made.

I had to give 4 stars, despite the absolute crap service. The restaurant had 1 waiter, and when we asked him to explain an appetizer he told us that he was ‘just the guy who took the order’. We ordered drinks & an app, then the Shahi Korma w/Aloo Naan. I HIGHLY recommend the Shahi Korma. We come here regularly, and while the good is consistently delicious nothing is as good as the Shahi Korma. The service was so bad that if this had been my first time here I would have given it 1 or 2 stars, but hope tonight was a fluke; as we’ve been here many times and always had a great experience.
