  Second time I’ve been here, the restaurant was really busy as cricket had been on, but staff were really friendly even though they were rushed off their feet. The food... read more was amazing, I can really recommend the Dhabha white Karahi. Will definitely be visiting again

  At end of day 2 of the test we spotted this restaurant as we came out of the ground. I had read good reviews so we took a chance and... read more asked for a table for 2 ,despite them being very busy with cricket fans.
A delightful young lady ( sorry missed her name ) immediately took us to a table and within minutes we were served ice cold pints of Cobra.

Really interesting menu with dishes I has never seen from many regions of India . We enjoyed tandoori starters, chicken, lamb dishes rice and fresh naan. Food was fresh and delicious.

Waiting staff were wonderful - asking about our day at the cricket and looking after our every need. Made us feel very welcome in your city.

Thanks to all at this excellent restaurant as 2 very full and happy fans headed to our hotel to get a rest
before day 3. We will be back for both the cricket and the food.

  Awful experience, chips tasted like washing up liquid , friends lamb was fatty and she was sick after 2 mouthfuls and unfortunately my friend had the monk fish last night... read more and now has food poisoning

  This is a very friendly restaurant with a relatively unusual menu - dishes you don’t find elsewhere and based on th3 chefs own experience. The service was very good and... read more the food excellent. The bhajis and samosas were some of the best I’d had. Crisp, light, not oily.

  Despite slow service, the service recieved was warm and inviting and really only reason why this review is a 3 star.

We were sat at the back of the... read more restaurant where it felt untidy and dirty as we faced the toilet and til area. Our table cloth was stained and I swapped a dirty plate with my partner as he's much more reserved than I am.

The chilli chicken starter was hugely disappointing; it didn't actually have the texture of chicken nor did it tatse like chicken; very poor quality meat.
The amritsari was overfried in stale oil- monkfish is meaty and delicate yet the dish was overseasoned and overdone.

The naans were also overdone meaning the thick fluffy robustness of a usually well done naan was lacking and as a result we ended up with crispy, flat, burnt bread.
The peshwari has a good flavour.

There should always be a stipulation when being served a spirit as to whether it is a 25ml or 50ml serving. I should also have the option to pour the tonic in myself so I can choose how much I'd like in it.

All in all very average food at best and wouldn't revisit despite being local. Was hoping to have something decent on the doorstep but looks like venturing out of Masala Junction on Mansfield Road is the way forward for us.

  Great service amazing food best Indian
Kathrine was a very good waitress and the young lady who was small was very nice and they were all nice #bestfoodever

  Beautifully cooked refined food, staff attentive, friendly, helpful.
Sonia and her staff do a wonderful job.

  Sonia and the team did an amazing job in serving 24 golfers with a great meal, all the team were very complimentary on the service, quality of the food and... read more atmosphere . . . Sonia also took time out to do our competition draw with a big smile, now that is customer service, thank you Sonia and the team, see you soon

  Wow what a great find. We stumbled across this after an away game at NFFC and whilst the outside did not look fantastic we are so glad we went in.... read more Very nice decor, incredibly helpful staff and a fantastic menu. My wife and I both ordered from the specials section of the menu and were both incredibly impressed by the quality of the flavours, presentation, portions size and price, not cheap but great value for what you receive. WILL GO BACK...

  All the staff were excellent and very nice, food and service was amazing. Atmosphere was great. Overall would 100% recommend!

  Whenever I go up to Nottingham Forest for an evening match and stay overnight in the city, I always have a post match curry here. A brilliant restaurant, great food... read more (fish curries recommended) friendly service and good value for money. Five stars from me.

  Really nice restaurant, good atmosphere, range of dishes is really good, food really tasty, and the naan bread was the best I’ve ever had

  Excellent, efficient and friendly service.
I had the Octopus Curry which was delicately spiced and well cooked. The Lamb Shank Curry also looked great and my friend enjoyed very... read more much.
Good drinks menu and all reasonably priced.

  I've had several meals from this restaurant now and all been really good. They do the usual dishes but also have something new to try.
The meals don't look as... read more processed as most other curries do. For example, you can actually see the spinach in the Saag aloo.
My first curry of 2022 was new to me, something with chicken and mango. Was gorgeous and not too spicy (they add more heat to it if you want).
But my favourite thing to get from them is their Peshawari naan, you could wake me up for one. I just missedthe anise seeds in it last Sunday.

  I was very disappointed with our food on this occasion, we have eaten here several times always enjoyed our food, but this is the second take away from the there,... read more the peshwari naan was full of of pink stuff and wasn't cooked inside, no coconut rice, no idea what be we had in its place and some of the chicken in the Tikka Masala was very yellow in colour looked re heated, We have always enjoyed our food in the past but this time very disappointed with the quality ☹️

  We had a meal for four people, seated in, mains and dessert.

Immediately reading the menu I knew this was going to be good. The chef (and possibly... read more owner?) hopes you will try his more traditional Indian dishes, rather than what he terms the 'British classics', such as jalfrezi, balti, Madras etc. Although these are available on request. Dish recommendations and wine pairings are also on the menu.

His traditional dishes did not disappoint - rich and complex flavours, all perfectly cooked and seasoned! Proper Indian food, and one of the best we've had. The highlight was the tandoori monkfish, this was very special, and I would highly recommend you try it.

I wouldn't order the mushroom rice again, as whilst good, it wasn't the best I've had. However the bread was so good I'd go for that instead!

The service was great and we felt well taken care of even though we didn't have a reservation. We will certainly be coming back here, often.

  Bombay offer the perfect Indian meal and Pre-match meal.
They manage the mix of probably the best Indian in Notts with quick service with a smile.
Last night we had... read more a tender spice lamb which was perfect .

I would recommend whether for an Indian - it's just too far to be my local

The service is perfect always welcomed in and nothing is too much when making a request

  Superb from start to finish. Great service. Food excellent, exactly as described in the menu and perfect temperature. Lovely atmosphere. I tried octopus for the first time in my life... read more as one of the group is Japanese and was over the moon to find octopus in the UK. Surprisingly delicious. We missed this in lockdown and decided to squeeze in a visit before anything stops us! We'll be back again!

  Great food and service, food in the restaurant is much better than the takeaway. Restaurant is well appointed although toilets are terrible.

  Amazing food , brilliant service , beautiful restaurant, very clean. The chef cooked our food on request it was wonderful, we shall definitely return ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thanks for a great experience.

  I visited this restaurant on Saturday, after a day out with friends. We were welcomed warmly by the manager and her staff, all of whom treated us extremely well and... read more were very attentive. The ambience was very nice and welcoming and the menus offered a fascinating selection of interesting food, much of which was new.

I am a vegan and the choices I had were very good. I had the black eyed bean curry, which was quite unlike any Indian food I had tasted: light, full of flavour and very filling. I wish I could try it again soon but unfortunately I do not live locally. My friends enjoyed a selection of meat-based curries which I sadly can't remember anything about, such was my enjoyment of my meal. We all shared naan and rice and, refreshingly, the portion sizes were sensible rather being too big. That meant that we enjoyed a delightful meal, we ate as much as we wanted to but we left without feeling horribly full.

I have never had such excellent, flavoursome Indian food and, although I live in Oxfordshire, I will definitely be returning when I visit friends. In fact, I'm sure we will insist upon it the next time we visit Nottingham!

A note for any vegan purists: I know that a lot of Indian food is not strictly vegan and I did not specifically ask for this, so I have no qualms at having enjoyed everything provided me without necessarily knowing that it was strictly vegan. As it was such a good restaurant, I am sure that they would have accommodated my wishes had I asked them to.

  Best Indian food around, my personal favourites are the tawa chicken or chicken handi - I would definitely recommend that you try! Cannot fault this restaurant for food or service,... read more amazing every time, 5*

  We had our first take away in January as wanted a delivery . We ordered for 4 people so just over £50 which we normally pay . I could not... read more fault the food tasted delicious as some Indian take aways it's all sauce and same colour and not nice . We have been using Indian Nights for years but unfortunately they don't do delivery so tried Bombay and was not disappointed. We told family about Bombay and how impressed we was with the food. Well we got a voucher for a gift and went to the Restaurant. We was greeted by very friendly staff and taken to our table which I booked online very easy . The restaurant is quite big and looked very clean . Our waiter was very nice and helpful they all was. I had a lamb bhuna and my partner likes the garlic chilli chicken with naan bread. Yet again the food was delicious I would recommend this restaurant to eat in or have a takeaway. We did have couple drinks each and like most restaurants they cost bit more. It came to £60 for 2 people which isn't too bad for a night out and great food . Thank you for a lovely evening .

  I have visited this restaurant many times and cannot fault it.
The menu has been given lots of thought and has exciting mouthwatering options that I haven’t seen on... read more other Indian restaurant menus.
It really feels like the food is lovingly prepared and cooked then served with beautiful presentation.
The food always tastes so fresh and flavoursome and never oily as can be the case in some Indian cooking.
The staff are very friendly and really cannot do enough for you.
Lovely surroundings and good portion sizes (I often come home with a doggy bag and enjoy the flavours again the next day for lunch!)
My favourite Indian restaurant in Nottingham!

  I've been to this restaurant a few times over the last few years and have always enjoyed the meal. Last time I went was 2 weeks ago on my own,... read more my first visit for 18 months due to Covid. The owner/manager said she remembered me and even told me correctly what starter I had last time. She couldn't remember though what I had for my main course !!! What a memory she has.

  Absolutely excellent meal, the best I’ve had in a while. Staff were superb too, explained each meal and made delicious suggestions!

  We chose this restaurant after reading the reviews (also it was close to where we were staying) and we were not disappointed. Pretty busy for a Monday, lovely staff, extensive... read more menu with interesting and useful info included. Freshly prepared food, good wine and what we couldn’t eat we took home with us. Enjoyed it all!

  After the rain decided to come with a vengeance we decided to go for an early curry.

A lovely spacious restaurant with a really warm welcome. A great choice... read more of different dishes, many of which I hadn't experienced before.

The restaurant was very clean and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Would recommend if you are in Nottingham. One minute walk from Trent Bridge cricket or Nottingham Forest and five minutes from Notts County

  Absolutely delicious meal last night. Such a great choice in the menu and each of our meals were so tasty and as usual did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean... read more and airy and the owners on hand to make sure that we had a great time and enjoyed our meals. Bombay never disappoints and it is so nice to be back in the restaurant taking in the lovely atmosphere.
I recommend you try the Bombay experience if you want a really tasty curry and great service! So what are you waiting for?

  A truly memorable meal. We were visiting Nottingham and tried another Indian restaurant a couple of days earlier that was ordinary but Bombay Bridgford was a whole different level of... read more food. Went with my two teenagers and a friend who was veggie who had a comfort curry - dumplings in a sauce - really incredible. One of my kids had a mixed grill and the other chicken tikka masala, I had a spinach paneer dish. Portions were generous- we wrapped what we hadn’t eaten and had it for lunch the next day. We will definitely be going back any time we visit Nottingham.

  My friend and I enjoyed a fabulous meal before the cricket with great service and outstanding food! I had the Lucknowi Ghost Biryani it was one of the best meals... read more I have tasted absolutely beautiful.

  Ordered take away prompt delivery and the food was amazing I had the railway lamb special it was a little hot for me but the flavour was so good I... read more had to eat it all will order again

  We booked this restaurant for a nice romantic meal for two but this happened to be on the same night as a cricket match and the whole restaurant was full... read more of drunken shouting blokes and was far too loud. They were swearing and swapping tables and nothing was done by the staff, we didn’t feel very covid safe.

I don’t know if that contributed to the appalling service we received or not. Yes the restaurant was very busy, but frankly it has been designed to be that size and the business should be able to deal with that amount of customers. It took us over 90 minutes after ordering to get our food which is ridiculous.

The food was nice but we’ve had far far better Indian meals for less money.

  It was amazing food also very good service and very friendly people also love the atmosphere just amazing

  The food was great, super tasty!! Service was great, our server Shaun was wonderful! He was super all night at looking after us and making us feel welcome! 10/10 for... read more Shaun. Definitely will be returning soon! Recommend highly 🙂

  I tried their salmon curry and it’s really good. The salmon is very soft and tender, the curry is very tasty! Definitely 100/100, the ambience is very lively, more of... read more like fine dining and the interior is very beautiful! They also have good customer service, everyone is just so nice! Would definitely come back here 😉 very worth it!

  Charming service and beautifully spiced food as always. Perfect place for a meal before watching a T20 game over the road at Trent Bridge cricket ground - just a shame... read more that Notts lost, but you can't blame Bombay Bridgford for that! We've never yet had anythinng other than a lovely meal and genuine friendly welcome here, so if you haven't been yet, you really should try it

  Excellent as always. We’ve never had anything but an super meal here.

The staff are among the best which comes from the management. Tonight we had a great... read more meal with a special mention for Shaun who served us and made a birthday meal special.

  Just went in the restaurant randomly looking for some Indian food. The food was really awesome and the staff was also really welcoming.

  Food is AMAZING, Service is Excellent! And Sonia and her team are so welcoming. Great Lagers on Tap, Best in Notts by far. 10/10.

THANK YOU

I’ll see you soon

  Amazing curry and fantastic service!
Delicious food and warm and friendly service.
Food is always the best quality and very COVID safe environment

  I visited the restaurant yesterday for a collection of takeaway purely because my regular Indian takeaway was closed, I was very impressed with the Fish pokora main full of rich... read more taste and flavour.

However I also ordered a mixed grill tikka and was very disappointed with it, not what I expected for a mixed grill and a Raiita yoghurt, I was not satisfied.

Otherwise The fish dish was very tasty with the naan.

Although the kingfisher beer is good also.

  Ate at Bombay last night with my partner. The food was excellent. Best curry I’ve had in some time and at a good price. All the staff were polite and... read more attentive and kept to all COVID guidance. Would thoroughly recommend.

  Four of use went for a meal 7/10/20, best Indian meal I have had in many a year flavours where special. Recommended maybe not the cheapest but you get what... read more you pay for.

  Came here on Friday night after being enticed by a flier put through our door, really exceeded our expectations. Lovely restaurant with great service. Tables nicely spread out with hand... read more sanitiser on each. Felt very safe. Food was delicious, really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back !

  The Bombay’s menu offers delicious dishes to tantalise your tastebuds and is, by far, my favourite restaurant for Indian food in Nottingham. I know there are those on Maid Marian... read more Way who could look to change my mind, but Sonia and Ifraz, and their excellent staff, have greeted customers with a professional, friendly service, complimented by their delicious food and hospitality, for over 20+ years.
Highly recommended.

  Often visit here and sometimes have takeaway. Staff always make you feel welcome, the place has a warm relaxed feel.
The food is always amazing and you get to... read more meet the chef/owner too

  This is a terrible place. I was overcharged and ripped off. The prices on the take out menu online at the restaurant's website do not reflect the actual price. I... read more only noticed when I got home and looked at the receipt. When I called and discussed this with the manager he said the price had changed, but that it was not reflected on the online menu. This was a significant increase too, about 20%. The manager was very aggressive and rude on the phone and basically would do nothing to alleviate the fact that the online advertised price differed significantly from what I was charged. I'll never go again and recommend everyone avoid this place.

At the minimum make sure you get the prices of food when you order on the phone if you must eat here.

More importantly, the food is also just ok, and very small portions for the overpriced cost. I was still hungry after eating a ~£10 dish with rice and a popadom.

  Excellent. Really enjoyed our meal. Staff have a good knowledge of the dishes. Excellent value. Would recommend to family and friends.

  This review is for the takeaway, food disappointingly delivered with no poppadoms... (which we’d paid £3 for) however quick phone call and this was rectified and sent back out with... read more the rice (complimentary) which I’d somehow forgot to order. Food was very good, good flavours and very tasty, service in dealing with my complaint (the lady who owns it with her husband) professional and courteous... hence despite the issue I’ve taken the time to write a positive view. Also worth noting if you order direct rather than via these takeaway apps... they send you free poppadoms and dips. Very tasty Indian meal, look forward to it all arriving together next time which I’m sure it will. Thanks Bombay :))

  Popped in to Bombay as the kids and wife are at the school disco.

It may seem weird to some people but when you have a family there’s... read more definitely a bonus to eating alone sometimes.

The starter I ordered was Shai Jinga (huge prawns) a really good size and the chutneys and accompanying onions and peppers were great. Strangely as well I normally discard the salad side but having fresh crisp lettuce really added to the dish. Really nice to be served on a warmed platter rather than a sizzler plate that can char just that little too much, nice bit of heat to the pickle served alongside (which I like) which gave you the option to spice the dish up if you liked.

The Laal mass (spicy lamb) was my choice for main and I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent heat. It’s always good when an Indian restaurant actually delivers a well cooked hot dish rather than something that is inedible for the sake of challenging the taste buds of an inebriated customer challenging themselves for the hottest curry they can find. Being able to order a hot curry without actually having to explain you’re not trying to defy your stomachs capabilities is very refreshing. The rice dish is small because I asked for a half portion as I’m not a huge rice fan.

An excellent meal cooked well and only complemented by the perfect service.

Loved it.

  A fabulous range of delicious food not run of the mill everything we ordered was beautifully cooked top quality dishes will definitely be back!

  My husband took me for a date night, and it was perfect. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the food and service was perfect. Will definitely be returning.

  Not tasted a better authentic Pakistani dish. Well worth a visit when in the area. I am yet to find a better curry house in Nottingham.

  Excellent. Really enjoyed our meal. Staff have a good knowledge of the dishes. Excellent value. Would recommend to family and friends.
