Bombay Deli Pizza & Tandoori Restaurant

I had to tell the guy who was taking orders I wanted an order food delivery five times he then asked what do I want to order I told him the order then he said pick up only REALLY don’t waste your time here!

Out of ALL sauces 6 hours before close… No masala, vindaloo, korma, NOTHING! Like, seriously? I went to another place a couple blocks away.

This is definitely a true hole in the wall restaurant NYC. Cabby’s know it and so does the local hotel staff, a great place for great food, for very little money.
I always go for a chicken kebab when they have it. Their chicken curry, with a fresh naan… yum!!!

GREAT. GREAT. GREAT!!! This is a wonderful place to get DELICIOUS authentic Indian /​Halal food for a REASONABLE price! I usually get the curry goat and random vegetable combo (lentils, okra, mixed vegetables, etc…) and the goat melts in your mouth! The owner Abdul is a great guy too! No complaints about this place!

I don’t really get the name of this place, since they don’t serve pizza here, but whatever. On to the actual review.
From the outside, this place does not look that promising. It looks rundown and not cared for. Inside was a little better, but not by too much.
We ordered a few naan rotis, tandoori chicken, beef and goat curry. The naan basically was terrible. Dry/​burnt and not fluffy. The tandoori was the best out of the three meats, yet even that was only «okay» at best. The beef and goat curries didn’t really stand out, especially since the difference in taste between them was not a lot. The free «salad» (lettuce and a few carrots that probably no one eats) was what I expected from a free salad.
The food is cheap, sure. But I could get a much better meal elsewhere for a similar amount of money elsewhere. I wouldn’t recommend this place to someone else and I wouldn’t come here again.

Umm… dirt cheap Indian food in Hells Kitchen? Sure! I’ll give it a shot. Wound up being a great idea. Solid chicken tikka masala, plenty of basmati rice, choice of two vegetables and a side of naan for 8.25? I could not go wrong with that.
What did go wrong? Well, I scarfed down a portion meant for large man in like 3 seconds… and the rest of the day I paid dearly for it. Will say it did keep me full! But definitely need to learn self control if I’m ever getting food from this gem again.

OMG, the dal is to die for. It was garlicky, not spicy, soul-​warming, and just plain delicious. I dipped their bread in it and it was fabulous. My mouth is watering thinking about it. My husband got the lamb byriani, dal and okra. He said it was a million times better than anything we get near our place in Jersey. I don’t crave Indian food so I only bought the dal because I needed something vegetarian to eat and man, I would eat that stuff every day. Don’t hesitate going here. I wanted to get pizza, but they didn’t have any.
My big bowl of dal, 3 pieces of bread and 4 pakoras was $ 7. My husband’s meal was $ 8. Amazing.

This is my go-​to spot for Indian food. It’s cheap, sloppy, and downright delicious. The spices in the chicken sauces are so amazingly flavorful and makes your tummy feel so good. You get a warm feeling in your stomach and feel full for quite a while. That just be me, though.
Lunch platters run from $ 5 and up. I always get a custom order and ask for $ 7 worth of food. I eat a lot of meat, and this place really fits my needs. Don’t be shy.
Meat available: Curry chicken, boneless chicken, chicken Tikka Marsala, goat, and some other sort of chicken. Everything is pretty good. The goat is a bit tough, though. I’d say that’s my least favorite.
Veggies: Lentil, cabbage, cauliflower, string beans (not all the time), okra (not all the time).
I don’t recommend the okra and cabbage, unless you like the texture or something (because i don’t). They’re just unappetizing for me.
Tip: If you’re getting a lot of meat (like me) or you just want to eat a little bit healthier, you can ask the server to put less sauce (he scoops a lot of sauce with your meat & veggies). Your rice will probably be soggy with all the sauce. Maybe you might like that. Who knows.

I had the chicken tikka masala, not bad good flavor, and the rice was good as well, next time I will try something else. I think this is one of the for Indian places around that is quick and cheap.

With Kati House being closed down in only about a month’s time and torrential rainstorms, I was looking for something close by. Bombay’s come up a few times but I never had the urge nor courage to try out this dark and somewhat questionable place.
Walking in confirmed my doubts, somewhat. A few tables were laid out near the front, and then there was a steam tray table along the left hand side with a variety or makeshift menu’s plastered against the wall, ranging from Tandoori specials, beef, goat, chicken, curry, and seafood. Adjacent to that was a Dinner Special menu including the latter, which didn’t exactly make deciding on what to get very easy. The Indian gentleman behind the counter wasn’t the most friendly, but made due for the sole purpose of serving the food to the customer and serving as the cashier. Another gentleman was in the back who prepares any other dishes as well as freshly made roti and naan. The food in the steam table didn’t look the most appetizing since it was just sitting there, and there wasn’t exactly a streaming line of clintele, so I asked myself a few times how fresh the food actually was. But after perusing the steam table and sad that they didn’t have Palak Paneer, I decided on Palak Sabji, which is spinach sauteed with Indian spices. Included with that, is choice of naan or roti for $ 5.00, which I chose roti. Don’t forget to ask for some complimentary raw onions, which is provided in a small styrofoam container. The palak sabji was scooped up and placed into the usual plastic pint container and brown bagged. In a few minutes, the naan was brought out, steaming hot and wrapped up in aluminum foil.
When I finally got back to the office, I was glad to see that all the food was still very hot. However, the first thing I noticed when opening the Palak Sabji, was that the pint container was only about 80% filled and was loosely filled into the container so that you can see quite a few spaces. It would have been nice if they packed it in a bit, since afterall, it is only spinach. The Palak Sabji was surprisingly tasty, more so than the Palak Paneer that I have tried there. I was actually expecting the opposite since there was no cream or cheese, but the flavors from the spices were there. The naan was prepared tandoori style, puffy, crispy, and about 12″ in diameter. I threw some of the spinach on a piece of the naan, put a piece of white onion sprinkled with salt, and I had one enjoyable meal. I actually found myself quite satisfied and full, even without eating any meat.
Would I come back? Possibly. For $ 5, I got a pint of my choice of vegetable curry, along with freshly made naan and a side of slice white onions. Not too shabby for a brick & mortar establishment. May your curiosities and eagerness lead you here as well, and experience be as enjoyable as mine.
