The food was okay but the delivery guy complained about how far he had to travel. When I checked the website it said that the restaurant was only 2 miles away. Anyways, I wasn't too happy with getting an additional reprimand to my meal.

Lots of good reviews, so I won't feel bad about reviewing it at 3 stars! Ha!
Ordered a few times from here. The first time was actually quite nice, but the latest time, I ordered a tomato soup, which was a bit on the bland side of life and the chicken tikka masala, which also was not a festival of flavours!! No fireworks flew out of my mouth to paint a kaleidoscope of sensorial explatolations (this word makes no sense if you try and understand it syntactically. It's merely a sound to play in one's head.) unfortunately!
A word to the wise, the rice is not as fun as being boosted into space, so, I would make your own rice quickly on the side and turn down the one they send; you know, no need to waste ... though you could use it in a salad the next day, or something like this.
The food came quite quickly, which was appreciated by the negative space in my stomach. It clapped as the food bubbled its way to me!! It was just like Spring Break! Woo! 2004!!! Woo! "Up here Michael, up here!"
Hmm ... what else? Well, yeah ... that's it! It's definitely a nice place to order from, especially in Greenpoint where one's options can feel a little bit like living with Kevin Costner in Water World ... I would not turn it down, but if you're a little b****h about food, like a lot of people in the city so fast it doesn't sleep (but takes a lot of naps), then a 3 star rating I find to be fair!
Over and out.

This place is always top notch. Only problem I have ever had with them was a delivery guy complaining about his tip. I was gunna give him cash to pad it out but not after he whined about it. Sucks for that guy at least.

Good Indian food and very fast delivery. The delivery persons are usually very friendly and nice. It's one of my favorite places to get Indian food from.

Used to be my go to Indian place in the neighborhood but I switched to Joy not long ago because the food's as good and they're closer/faster/about the same prices. Tried Bombay again tonight and it was just ok. The delivery guy brought it to the wrong building and called me, then wouldn't believe that he was in the wrong place. When I finally got it the food was spilled in the bag but tasted pretty good. However the rice was a bit overcooked and the lamb portion was way tinier than usual. It was basically potato vindaloo and they charge an extra buck for lamb. Not an awful experience but back to Joy next time.

We had the Chicken Makhini and Lamb Saag, both which were really delicious! We order Indian food at least once a week, and I think we just found a new favorite place...the dipping sauces were lovely, as well. Our only complaint was that the naan bread seemed a little on the stale side, like it was baked earlier on in the day, but that seems to be a small price to pay for great food.

Definitely the best Indian I've had in the neighborhood. I got the appetizer/entree special: samosas and saag paneer. It came with two samosas, which was nice. The saag was fairly spicy and very flavorful. I paid a dollar extra for garlic naan instead of plain, which was worth it -- really tasty.
I'm docking one star because the portion size could have been a bit bigger. I would have liked a bit more rice and saag for the money. But it was more than enough for a meal for one person with a tiny bit leftover for a snack the next day, so I can't complain too much.
Delivery was surprisingly fast. They said it would be 60-75 minutes, but it came in under 30.
Will definitely order from here again.
