Super delicious, authentic, & friendly - Edit
10/10 would recommend! Jyoti was our server and she recommended great dishes and helped us navigate the menu. Everything is vegetarian and lots of vegan options as well. Left feeling happy and full!

Love it! - Edit
I'm vegan and picky about Indian restaurants. This is my current favorite in Orlando. Love their Dal.
Read moreI also like to go to the adjacent Indian grocery store to pick up good specialty items that are hard to get elsewhere.
In all of the times going here frequently for many years, I have never experienced any of the things some of the other reviewers complained about.
Pros: Excellent spices, Good service, Plenty of parking
Cons: Need to specify vegetarian, no dairy, Wish it was completely vegan

vegans beware - Edit
After explicitly specifying "no dairy" numerous times, and being assured there was no dairy, I asked the waiter what something was on my plate that looked like the mint chutney that had dairy. One of the servers lied to me and said it was not the mint chutney. Another came out, asked if I was allergic to dairy (after previously assuring me that it had no dairy) and then proceeded to tell me there was dairy because the appetizer was no good without the mint chutney. The lying and the attempted cover up are inexcusable. If I could provide fewer than 2 stars, I certainly would. (2 is the lowest possible for "veg" restaurants)

awesome!! - Edit
I came to Orlando for business, I found this place through the app. All I can say it was awesome! I loved the food, the vibe, and the staff! Our server, can't remember her name, but she was most pleasant! I would like to thank her for her patience and knowledge. She helped pick some fantastic options!! I'll b back in June!

Yummy! - Edit
The deeper I venture into my plant based diet the more I enjoy Southern Indian cooking. Imran was awesome. They stayed open for us to get something to eat 9pm on a Monday. I am grateful they did because the food was delightful. My sister grabbed the take away and had it later (long stressful night). A definite place to eat even if you are an omnivore!

Small, clean place - Edit
but delicious! I had the veggie sizzler and it was fantastic. The server was really nice and accommodating when my boyfriend and I said we were vegan.

Nice "Bombay" Style Cafe - Edit
They have decent food if you know how Bombay Cafe will be in Bombay ... I had ordered Rava Masala Dosa, Channa Bhutara, Bheil Puri, Idli-Bada, Rssam Soup, Masala Dosa for self and woman with me thinking at least 1-2 items will be good for lunch. It turn-out that everything was perfect and nice AND we two finished everything though quantities were decent too(exception was sambhar which was more like Bombay type rather south-Indian i.e. no toor-dal in it but only subjis). Food was not heavy either and freshly made ... Owner, server and cashier were very friendly people and once I gave my little feedback on Sambhar, they gracefully acknowledge and promised to make it better. And as a Thank you note ... made us special-kadak-chai like Calcutta style :-) thank you folks and we will visit again if we are in Florida/Orlando area
Read morePros: Freshness, Taste, Quality
Cons: Sambhar

Good food - Edit
The food I ordered was great, including the samosas, Dal Mahkani and roti. The guy that took my order must not have spoken a lick of English. When I asked questions about dairy or butter, he looked confused and mumbled something ( I don't think they were words in any language), so I just gave up and went on with the order, hoping I'd guessed correctly. I didn't receive or get charged for one item I ordered - not sure b/c it had dairy or if it was a mistake. It's a little out of the way from where I was staying (near convention center) but good food.

Cons: A bit of trouble ordering

MMMmm! - Edit
Bombay Cafe is in the House of Spices shopping plaza, directly on OBT & Oak Ridge Road. It is directly across another vegetarian Indian restaurant, Woodlands.
Read moreI love Woodlands, though prefer Bombay Cafe for a few reasons:
1. Gobi Manchurian (battered & fried cauliflower, in a decadent sauce to die for, with onions and peppers) is my favorite and I prefer Bombay's to Woodlands
2. At Bombay, you order at the counter, take a number and a seat. After served your food and drinks and enjoying your meal, you pay at the same counter. This process is much quicker than at Woodlands!!!
3. Bombay isn't nearly as busy as Woodlands so you typically never have to wait. :)
Pros: Delicious, Affordable, Nice people
Cons: Gross bathrooms

Best Indian Food EVER! (cheap too!) - Edit
I work at the florida mall near Bombay, so I pick up food there quite often (they know me by name!). It's a small restaurant in the same building as an Indian grocery store, an Indian video rental store, bridal shop, beauty shots, and many more different kinds of Indian stores. The people who work at Bombay are so nice! Just let them know that you are vegan and they will make sure your food is made to order! (Ali always helps us out. He's such a great guy!) There are 2 other Indian restaurants within 500 feet of Bombay, but neither of them compare. Not only is the food better at Bombay, but the prices are much more reasonable. When you go there, make sure to try the Vegetable Jalfrezi, the Veg Biryani, and the samosas! One more thing: the naan cant be made vegan, but there is an amazing alternative that they make! It's called Tandoori Roti (i think it's tastes better than naan!). And they give you SO much food! Theres always left overs when my bf and I eat there. Anyway, Bombay is amazing and you should definitely eat there!
Read morePros: amazing food, awesome prices, very sweet staff
Cons: the parking lot is easy to miss
