March 16, 2024Superb food, and mostly dishes you won’tbfindbin many other restaurants.

Second time coming, and both times have been amazing. The staff is great kind and very amicable, the drinks are great too. I had Strawberry Daquiri. Now let’s get to... read more the food:
Absolutely gorgeous, I had the Octupus curry with rice and garlic nun bread this time, and last time Inhad the butter chicken. Both my mother and my sister enjoyed their food.
If you are on a selective diet and cannot eat fried or butter like my mom, have no worries. The staff is helpful and will comply with any dietary restrictions.
Will come here again and thank you to everyone: Chef, waiters, barman, hostess and cooks 🙌☺️

February 23, 2024The food was not cooked properly and when we complained they did nothing and we later asked to take the food out. They took the chicken pieces out of the... read more curry and gave us just the sauce. What a poor place, they get away with ut as its close to the football club. Keep well away from it.

The food was excellent, full of flavour and perfect mix of spice and taste.
A really perfect evening.
December 28, 2023Awful staff. I have been going for years and the rude reception that we received in our last visit shocked me. I will not ever attend again.
December 23, 2023Visiting from Aberdeen to see family and we thought it would be nice to go out for a family meal for 8. I'm a coeliac and I always get food... read more anxiety when going out so I phoned ahead just to check what the situation was. I had no need to worry at all as it soon became evident all the staff are fully versed and trained in not only food intolerances but guiding customers through their coeliac options. Furthermore, I was overwhelmed at how kind and patient both servers were. I have to say one of the best experiences I've had and wanted to let you know that I'm also going to let the Coeliac Society know so they list you as a place to go! As a coeliac it's so difficult finding 'safe' places to eat especially at this time of year. Once again, I am eternally grateful for making it such a fine dining experience. Amazing staff especially the young lady who greeted us.

December 14, 2023Excellent food. Very well cooked. Fantastic atmosphere. Staff very well trained,friendly and efficient. The restaurant is spotless with snow White tablecloths and napkins.

November 17, 2023We frequently go to the Bombay Bridgford before Notts Cricket Lovers Society Meetings at Trent Bridge. There is always a warm welcome and everything from beginning in to end is... read more smart and professional. The food itself is never less than superb, genuinely Indian and lovingly cooked. Yo won't go away hungry. I didn't know naan bread came in such large sizes. The menu is very personal and tells the story of how the different recipes came into being. Yes, you can get Tandoori Chicken here, but it would be a wasted opportunity. You would probably find it on the final page under 'British Indian'. If you are serious about Indian food, go to Bombay Bridgford and you won't go anywhere else.
November 6, 2023Sam was amazing, his service was great and I couldn’t fault him.
Amazing food and a great time.
The manager is also amazing!
Thankyou!!... read more

Nice food and started off with great service but we got the sense we were being hurried through for another booking from the very start and were asked to leave... read more our table as soon as we finished our food and given the bill not even given the chance to finish our drinks only had the table for an hour and twenty. We were directed to an outdoor shed area by the men's toilets and when we left no one acknowledged us or directed to find our coats. For the price which is above average I would expect better service and a table for a least 2 hours for a bigger group.
October 14, 2023What a fantastic restaurant - fabulous food, excellent service. The owner is very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. We have been a few times previously and it doesn't fail to impress... read more us. We have been looking forwards to our visit for a few weeks as we are not locals we do visit whenever we are around the area.
Thank you for a lovely evening
October 12, 2023Excellent service and good food. On 19 September the waiter that evening advised us about our order and could not have been more helpful.
As a Tuesday night they were... read more happy to welcome late diners, which is not often the case. Good wine list, suited to a varied menu. We ate in and over-ordered to enable take-away!
September 26, 2023Popped in pre-match by myself due to going straight for work. The food is good but omg it’s expensive. 2 pints, main, side, rice and naan £52. Yes £52 for... read more one person. Despite the food being nice, safe to say I won’t be going again with those prices.

Their greatest strength is consistency, unlike some restaurants where you can... read more order the same meal 2 visits apart and they're completely different, the Bombay has a reassuring consistency and you know that what you order will be the same as it ever was.
The owners and staff are always polite professional and friendly.

Had an excellent 21st birthday meal here! Would highly recommend the chilli fish curry and the aubergine side
July 16, 2023Food was amazing, the lamb was really tender. Me and my friends really enjoyed our food. The naan was extremely soft and fluffy. The waiter had some really good recommendations.... read more I definitely would recommend this curry house, the food was full of flavour and the staff are very welcoming. We can’t wait to come back.
July 2, 2023Food and service were both amazing. Me and my friends were all very pleased. Will defo be coming back here again, highly recommend.
June 30, 2023The food is good but the service provided by one of the staff member Shaun was not at all good. He doesn't know how to treat the guests, he was... read more very rude which spoiled our mood. He was also forcing us to pay the service charge.
June 29, 20233 of us visited Bombay and really enjoyed it. Service was excellent, prompt but friendly. Food was excellent. Kebab starter was the best I have tasted
Definitely recommend
June 29, 2023We tried this restaurant after watching cricket at Trent Bridge. We hadn't booked, but they managed to find a table for us and took our drinks order very quickly. The... read more menu is full of interesting dishes from all over the sub-continent and we had a hard time choosing what to have. We decided on the black bean curry and the tandoori fish tikka. Both were excellent and were accompanied by lovely rice, naan and daal, which the waiter recommended to us. The service was excellent too. The dessert menu was just that bit different, with kulfi lollies and some Indian dishes. My husband tried the Indian dessert of the week and I had chocolate samosas, both of which were lovely. Overall it was a wonderful ending to an already great day.

Over the last few months, we have eaten here a few times, before football games at the City Ground. I am vegan and my husband doesn't eat meat and so... read more we're always asking for suggestions from the menu. The lovely lady who greets people on arrival is always smiling and ready to recommend menu items which either are or can be made vegan. My absolute favourite is the Turtle Bean curry and the Naan bread which is the best I have ever tasted. My husband tried several fish dishes which were also lovely. Often busy, the staff are always doing their best, with kindness and courtesy, We can't wait to have another meal. Thank you!
May 23, 2023Myself and my family (4 adults) visited Bombay Bridgford last night. We're from Manchester and came to Nottingham for the cricket which was washed out yesterday. However our first time... read more in Nottingham and first time at BB and we were delighted with the food. Rajastani lamb chops were great, not chewy and well marinated. We ordered 2 main dishes and 1 side dish between the 4 of us and it was plenty of food. The chicken in the chicken karabiner was really moist and the Keema karahi was to die for! The best keema karahi we've eaten. The keema was tasty with a lovely thick sauce and the dish size was superb. Naan breads were beautifully soft and again yummy. We ordered 1 paratha which my dad described as 'proper' and 1 chapati which again was soft and not chewy. If we were to come to Nottingham again we'd definitely revisit.
The only thing I missed which is just what we get back home here in Manchester is a sauce tray with mint sauce/raita, chilli sauce etc on it for the starters but beggars can't be choosers.
It was lovely and we can't fault the food!
Thank you!
May 7, 2023We arrived late having watched London Scottish beat Nottingham by one point in the Rugby Championship evening match. The staff were very helpful. The decor of the restaurant is above... read more the norm and the menu offered interesting and varied dishes. We ordered from the specialty section.

April 21, 2023We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bombay for a family meal. We had starters and mains and were accommodated when we ordered off menu. One of our party isn't too... read more adventurous but enjoyed a chicken tikka masala. The rest of the party ordered from the chef's specials and weren't disappointed.

March 18, 2023First time visiting this restaurant. We love Indian food and this is one of the best we have experienced. it was a foul night outside - windy, cold, wet and... read more snow falling but we were very happy to be indoors at this attractive and welcoming place. The food was exceptional - from the snacks through to the main courses and the bread. My only complaint is that there was too much which was entirely our fault as there was so much nice stuff on the menu.,which was such interesting reading - every dish seems to have been well thought through. The service was lovely too. We will be back.
March 13, 2023Food superb, staff attentive and pleasant, restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and got full quite quickly. They clearly have a thriving takeaway business as people were coming and going collecting... read more their food. Definitely visit again
March 10, 2023We regularly visit Bombay Bridgford when we visit Trent Bridge. We like the friendly welcome and the peaceful atmosphere. I am sure there are cheaper Indian restaurants, but none that... read more can offer a range of meals of such high quality. The menu reads like a personal journal, explaining how each dish came into being. Whether dating back to the days of the Raj or enjoyed as a boy, the recipes are clearly very special to the chef in their own way. Then when the meal arrives, it is clear that it has been produced with love and attention to detail, and it is served fitting care and respect.
March 7, 2023We hadn’t been to the Bombay for a while so thought we would give it a try as we had heard good things.
The restaurant was full when we arrived... read more which is usually a good sign and we weren’t disappointed. There was 7 in our party and we all had a great meal.
Excellent choice of options, a good couple of bottles of wine (though a little on the pricey side) and a special call out for our waitress and all the staff who were very attentive and helpful.
I am sure we will be back.

Visited pre-match on Saturday with friends. Excellent staff,service and varied menu, superbly hosted and fabulous food.
Having been on two previous occasions while visiting both football and cricket, this... read more restaurant is way more enjoyable than the results my teams achieve!
January 16, 2023Amazing service! Very accomodating, excellent advice on food. Catered to our every need from 9 years old to 75 years old.
December 17, 2022We arrived early and we’re welcomed by a clearly happy team , which is a joy seldom found at the moment. I immediately saw that they served puri, which always... read more puts an Indian restaurant up a notch in my view. The food, the presentation, the general feel of the place were all thoroughly enjoyable. I won’t mention the special favour they did us, but suffice it to say they made an all round contribution to a great evening out in Nottingham. Thank you guys! You really pulled out all the stops and we were very grateful!
December 17, 2022Being an international student in Nottingham, it is always hard to find Indian restaurants that live up to the mark. But with Bombay Bridgeford, we think we have found our... read more match. My friends and I visited Bombay Bridgeford a couple weeks ago. All of us were truly excited by the authenticity of the dishes on offer. We had the Tawa Chicken and Dhaba White Karahi as part of our mains which were true to their description on the menu and was spiced just like a dish back in India. The service was brilliant and we had a wonderful time.
November 30, 2022Food, service & ambience all very good. We arrived at 7.30 and it was already quite full, usually a good sign! All the food we had was excellent. Only slight... read more issue (I stress only slight!) was I specifically requested lime pickle with the poppadoms but this didn’t arrive. Asked again, then a very small pot arrived, certainly not enough for the four of us. But this is my only complaint (apart from a somewhat wobbly table!). I will definitely return for a sit down or take-away meal.
