MY REVIEW: Everything here is very good except for one problem, their lamb curry is not very good. It doesn't have the "sweet" spices that you'd normally expect in an Indian curry. Those of you who have been to a Pakistani restaurant know that the Pakistani dishes are more on the "earthy" side and not as sweetly spiced as the Indian dishes. This is the case with their lamb. Again, their food is fresh, most of it is very good, their service is good, but their weak spot is their lamb.

MY REVIEW: Went for the very first time today and the food was AWESOME. We had the buffet and everything on it was fresh, very flavorful and beautifully presented. My favorites were the Chicken Tikka Masala, Daal Makhni (lentils), Chicken Tikka and of course the uber soft & warm Naan. I will definitely be back!

MY REVIEW: I just ate here for the first time yesterday and I'll be back. The atmosphere is very nice. The music is pleasant and not overwhelming as it can be in some restaurants. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Everything was well spiced, meaning it had a lot of flavor with some kick, but wasn't overly hot. Too many places are either completely bland or flaming hot, and this was a nice balance. I had the buffet which was $12 and the selection was good. If you're vegetarian, like me, this is a place where both you and your omnivorous friends can all find something to enjoy.

MY REVIEW: THIS IS THE BEST INDIAN FOOD AND SERVICE IN HOUSTON! Hands down, Bombay Brasserie is the best. I always wondered who wrote there reviews, but now i know why. The service, food, price, atmosphere and location are perfect. One a scale of 1-10, 10 being best Bombay Brasserie would be a 20. I just got back from dinner at I*ndika and it was horrible. I can't say enough good things about Bombay Brasserie because they are miles beyond I*ndika. I just wanted to say "Keep up the Good Work"

MY REVIEW: Pleasant, good quality. Went for dinner a couple of times and enjoyed it each time. Service was very good.

Last night we had chicken biryani, chick peas and potatoes, and naan, all very good. Only two minor quibbles. First is that the lassis are served over ice cubes instead of smoothie fahsion so they are not as rich and refreshing as some others. Second is that we asked for medium spice and the chick pea pea dish was still a bit hot, but it was just a matter of degree. We once asked for mild in another normally good place and the food came out bland.

Even with these minor points, I still recommend this place.

BTW, don't let the steep prices posted for parking in the Rice Village lot put you off: both they and nearby D*'Amico's validate. So don't bother wasting time looking for a free spot outside.

MY REVIEW: the buffet is amazing

i invited two friends who are picky about food and were afraid of trying indian food, but once the fresh naan and the warm saag paneer hit their mouth, they changed

the buffet keeps everything warm and has the best dishes out like pakora, tandoori wings, saag paneer, chicken tiki masala, tandoori chicken and tava

MY REVIEW: I ate here for my birthday and had a great experience! The service was attentive, we received our food in a timely manner, and it tasted wonderful. I hadn't been here since last year and was surprised they changed their menu. They only offer 2 variety platters, the Viceroy & the Thali which is vegetarian.

My friend and I split the Viceroy since it is only offered as a platter for two and had a lot of food leftover. Our dining partners got the chicken vindaloo (which was super spicy), tandoori prawn, saag paneer, rice, and naan. Everyone was happy after our meal even the one who usually doesn't like Indian food! I'll definitely go back for the Lunch buffet at the new location in the Galleria which is supposed to open this month.

MY REVIEW: My boyfriend and I always grab a bite to eat here. We have been regulars for the past 2 yrs. We decided to go on Valentine's Day and were treated horribly. We got a table in the back by the bathroom, the waiter told us that we were required to order a minimum of 2 dishes because of the Valentine's Day "Rush", our food took way too long to come, my boyfriend and I were just barley discussing our bill and it was literally snatched out of my hand by the waiter who was in a rush to have us out in order to seat the next party.

I would go again but it will be a while before I visit back. And I will def. not go on a "busy" night.

MY REVIEW: First visit to Bombay Brasserie. NIce atmosphere. Kind of hard to negotiate the parking and traffic, but worth the effort. The Chef's Platter for starters was ok, but the bahji were a little overdone. Service was excellent! My Prawn Marsala was also top notch. Since I live close by, I will come again and explore their menu.

MY REVIEW: My fiance' and I visited this restaurant because we LOVE Indian food. We read the reviews and decided to visit. Everything was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and the wonderfully clean tables dressed in white linen. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive to our every need. We were thoroughly satisfied and will probably visit again next weekend. I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is awesome!

MY REVIEW: My wife and I went for the lunch buffet on Sunday. I've been to a lot of North Indian places and let me tell you this is probably THE best ever! Not only did they have great meat dishes, they ALSO had a good amount of tasty vegatable side dishes - which are missing from most Indian restaurants. In order to really enjoy Indian food, I require not only good meat, but also good vegetable sides! One of their strong points was that the spices were very different in each dish. In other words, they had great contrasts in flavor from one dish to the next. Their nan bread was also good.... as it passed my test for good nan, i.e. it stayed soft and fluffy even after it got cold. Most other places serve nan bread that becomes crunchy once it cools off. Oh yeah and the sauces were top notch... I almost wanted to fill a bowl with their curry sauce and drink it! Suffice it to say I ate and ate until I almost keeled over.

MY REVIEW: After reading horrible reviews on another site, I was reluctant to try this restaurant, but, being in the mood for Indian food, my husband and I decided to give it a try today for lunch. I don't know *what* those other reviewers were talking about! The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Price is great for an Indian buffet, too. We will be back for sure!

MY REVIEW: I have heard about this restaurant from friends in the past but never had a chance to visit until last night. I am so impressed -- I love hot and spicy food. Best!!! The restaurant is very nice, the staff was very friendly and attentive. I will be coming back in the future. I love the Chicken Vindaloo, the naan, and the rice.
