Reviews

  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.

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!

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.

  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

  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

  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.

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.

  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.

Also worth noting if you order direct rather than via these takeaway apps... they send you free poppadoms and dips.

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.
