Wonderful Indian food combined with great service. They always have made me feel like an honoured guest.
Walked downtown Brunswick tonight, decided to try Bombay Mahal (1st time). Great table, at the front window . . . we enjoy warching people stroll about town! Our waiter ( actually 2 gentleman) promptly inquired about drinks and appetizers. Our red blend and garlic naan arrived shortly. My wife enjoys tandoori chicken, and I ordered the mixed grill with tandoori shrimp, lamb, chicken . . . Set at a 3 to 4 on the "heat scale" out of 5 . Meal arrived within 15 minutes.. . not to crowded at 5 PM. Delicious with rice and some veggies in a spicy sauce. Desserts another time, stuffed! Prices were reasonable, and food very good. We tagged this meal with out tickets to the musical play at Bowdoin ! Excellent night in Brunswick . . . without spending $800 in New York!
This was my first visit, but wow! Amazing first impression! Incredible, traditional Indian food, paired with great service and a friendly staff. I purchased the Saag Pakora and it was literally the most perfect combination of ingredients I have tasted so far in 2016. I can't wait to go back again!
Buffet is very nice, service is gracious. The rice pudding was thin and liquid but good flavor.
Hands down, the best Indian food I've had in Maine. I work in the Portland area and have tried many Indian restaurants there. Come up to Brunswick instead because Bombay Mahal is the best!
It is a great place for a big lunch or dinner. Good prices and excellent service.
I visited this place yesterday with my wife and ordered 5 items (samosa, naan, parotta, fish tikka masala and kebab thandoori).. Everything was delicious and the service was great.. We could not eat all as we ordered more and took the thandoori to home and ate it this morning . It was more tastier this morning than last night.. Wonderful place and nice environment with good music.. Unfortunately I am moving out of Maine soon. I will certainly miss this restaurant.. Thank you!
My husband and I moved to Maine from India several months ago and have been looking for an authentic Indian restaurant. We were so glad we found the Bombay Mahal. Out of all the other Indian restaurants we have tried so far in Maine this place serves the most authentic food. The saag dal, malai kofta, and roti are just like what my mother use to make back home. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to experience what real Indian food is all about.
The whole family is hooked on Bombay Mahal's chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and mango ice cream. We try to come in or do take out at least 3-4 times a month (wish I could get to Brunswick more often). What a great treat:)
A peaceful place with great food. If you are new to India food try the weekend lunch buffet.
Top notch Indian food and very polite family!
Great food and some of the best service u will find anywhere
very good food and king employes!!
My fiancé and I decided to treat ourselves to a date night over the summer, and spotted two open outdoor tables. We walked inside where we were spoken to by three different staff in passing that they were busy and it would be an hour wait. We told them about the tables outside, confused because we were the only waiting customers. They didn’t respond. Then the embarrassment happened..as we turned to leave, a server darted between us and stepped on my shoe. I stepped on my fiance’s foot, and he came close to falling out the door. We laughed it off later. I understand it’s crowded and tiny, but better communication would have prevented this. I’m sure they have some good dishes. In retrospect-I’m glad we went to a place, based on the menus, that makes more variations of things I can eat with my food allergies- but that’s my personal diet. I understand the waitstaff was overwhelmed as well. So were we.
Delicious food. Coconut soup was amazing. Highly recommend.
Loved the food, service could have been a bit quicker thats why i gave it 4 stars.
Good buffet. Small in size but tasty. Great service.
Husband and I love this place. Food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly.
Quiet, pleasant atmosphere with excellent, quick service. The food is very good, even if I'm not a huge fan of Indian cuisine.
Food was.great, authentic environment. Small cozy place.
美味しいけど、ちょっと高過ぎる。
The most authentic and balanced flavor of any Indian restaurant in New England. Fantastic selection, spices perfectly matched, and the Naan could have just as equally come from a fired oven in Kolkata. Well done!
Excellent food, service and nice ambience!
Great food, amazing hospitality. Try samosas for sure.
Food was super flavorful. Some very good spice in Brunswick.
Excellent Indian food. Average pricing.
Authentic, yummy. Empty and quiet when I ate. Open pretty late.
This is one of the best Indian food restaurants in Maine. The buffet they have on the weekends is small but everything is amazing tasting. Definitely don't pass on the coconut soup!
Really good food. Hardly any wait and friendly staff.
Best service and Crew!
The best Indian I have experienced in New England!
And I'm originally from NYC and now live in a town with 3 Indian restaurants. The food was gourmet delicious. The owner was so sweet and kind. This is some amazing food!
Lunch buffet items weren't up to the expected taste. I'm used to south indian food but we tried this north indian restaurant on our way to a trip and were prepared that it's not going to be spicy. I've had amazing north indian food before but here the taste was not good. Don't know how the menu items would taste but lunch buffet was a disappointment.
Always excellent food
Best Indian food around! My absolute favorite Brunswick restaurant!
Wonderful food. Great ambiance. Lovely staff. I highly recommend this place.
The best restaurant in Brunswick Maine. The service and food were wonderful!
I've been eating here for years and I've never had a bad meal. The staff is always super friendly. Not only is the food delicious but they cater to vegetarian and gluten free customers. Yesterday i was lucky enough to be invited into the kitchen to watch some bread be made by hand. I highly reccomend trying all of the breads. The roti amd poori are my favourites. Thank you soo much for being such an awesome resturaunt. I will be back!! Over and over and over again!
By far the best Indian food in Maine!
We were seated late for our reservation, but the food was exceptional and the staff were very patient with and accomodating of our baby.
Best Indian in the greater Midcoast area... wish we had more of them up our way nearer to Camden or Belfast! Necessary to life.
Absolutely delicious...authentic...and great service...all around wonderful experience~!
Great place for lunch. Nice portions and great flavors. I had the coconut soup and chicken tikka masala. Both were great. If I am ever back in the area, I will be sure to stop by again!
No hot water in the bathroom sink for washing hands. My dad ordered something mild and it was the spiciest dish at the table. I spent the next two days in the toilet, the one who shared my dish got ill as well. Maybe I was there on a bad day, but I don't think it's worth a return visit.
After our poor experience at the other Indian restaurant down the street, we were hesitant to give Indian food another chance. However, we were glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing here and the service was friendly and attentive. I would most definitely recommend this place. They also have a buffet we will be coming back soon to try.
Best Indian food around in North of Portland area.
My son and I ate here once. Our meal came out very quickly for the variety of ingredients in the dish. The food was not fresh. It was dry and clearly reheated. We will not be returning. Very disappointing.
Very good
Authentic indian food, with amazing and friendly staff. I go once a week here. The lamb curry is perfect.
This is some of the Indian food in the whole area I haven't had Indian food is good since New York City. I highly recommend you make this restaurant a stop if you are staying in the Bowdwin College area. This place is a true gem in the Brunswick area
Deliciously flavorful food and a beautiful serene ambience! You can taste the love and care that they put into the perfect balance of every herb and spice. For the quality and large portion sizes, it is also very affordable! I will definitely become a repeat customer. : )
Food was pretty good.
Very good authentic Indian food. The Saturday and Sunday buffets are excellent.
Food decent. Portions so so. Over priced. Service decent.
Wonderful indian cuisine.
Had the buffet. Wouldn't say it was the most amazing Indian I've had but it was good. Had the lunch buffet at $12.00. Not a huge selection of items but did have several vegetarian options.
I've eaten Indian food overseas, and this place takes me back. It's delicious and authentic.
Best Indian food in Maine. I love the buffet.
Been a long time since the wife and I have had indian food but we decided to stop in one evening, great food friendly service made us think we need to do indian food much more often.
Food was delicious the service was outstanding!!!
Good flavors, nice and clean.
Delicious tandoori and naan, friendly staff
YUM!!
Hands down the best authentic Indian food around. Diverse dishes from many regions of India offer great choices. And don't forget the gulab jamine for dessert.
The Best Indian Food in Maine! The service has improved since our fist visit. I wouldn't care if I had to wait all day for the food. I suggest going and reading the history of the family, nothing but respect for their hard work, and excellent food.
Enjoyed the special bread/naan with jalapenos and chicken tikka masala
Food was really good but portions are small for the price charged!!
Describe my experience at Bombay Mahal? Well, let's see. We went for the lunch buffet at $11/person. I have so many negative feelings about this first and definitely last time eating here, it could fill a small notebook. But I'll just try to briefly list them all 1) no water offered until almost done meal 2) only five buffet entrees offered, really? FIVE? At a buffet? Should have just walked away then 3) THREE of those entrees go completely empty during our visit, and 30 minutes later, only one was replaced - at 1:15 of an 11:00-3:00 buffet 4) owner comes out and sees empty buffet dishes and walks off to tend cash register, instead of letting the two wait staff do that and getting her self back into the kitchen to produce some food 5) one dish is chicken jalfrezi, but I guess the title was supposed to be a joke because there wasn't any chicken in it - no exaggeration - no chicken in it, but it was sure a great big dish of sloppy sauce 6) chicken tandoori is wet with some kind of gross sauce on it - tasted gawful and had obviously never seen the inside of a tandoori oven - owners preying on the ignorance of their customer, I suspect 7) aloo matar has six pieces of potato in it, that's all, but is basically all peas 8) staff manages tor run around looking busy while doing anything but taking care of customers, and 9) food they did have was just a soupy, tasteless pile of garbage. We were not the only people sitting and waiting for them to refresh the buffet - seriously, people were going up and returning to there seats with nothing because the buffet was literaly empty. After 30 minutes, we just decided to leave. I have never been so disgusted by a restaurant and their owners in my life. This place is an embarrassment and the owners should be ashamed of themselves. I'm sorry for people in Brunswick if they think this place is good or even fair Indian cuisine.
The lunch menu provided great food at a decent price. As someone who cooks with ghost peppers i was ecstatic to recieve some properly spicy food.
I enjoy dining in at Bombay Mahal. The staff is friendly and funny. I have fun Everytime I stop in.
Amazing food and an affordable price. Service is very quick and inviting.
Visited on a Thursday night, not too busy and no waiting time. Food was incomparable! You can inquire about how spicy the food is and trust their answer! I'm super intolerant to hot-spicy and everything I had was perfect. Pashwari naan to die for, and don't leave without desert! The pricing is so reasonable it almost felt wrong. This is a "must" for anyone in the area!!
Incredible food and amazing service!
Fantastic Indian food. Friendly wait staff and good atmosphere.
Great food and great service. One of my favorite Indian restaurants in Maine.
Great food and outstanding and friendly service .
Best buttered chicken by far!
The owners, Raj and his wife, took care of us so well. The food was as delicious as home-made food made my mom or granny. We had Baingan bharta and it was sooooooo good. We loved the ginger chai with papad. Raj was the owner and also the chef and he told us stories of how people liked his food not only in India and is US, but also in Germany! We loved the overall experience and will definitely go there when we visit Vermont next. Thank you Raj. He deserves more than 5 stars as I have not seen so much passion in a chef.
Excellent lunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays. Great options, decent variety. The naan is fantastic, but they sometimes have difficulty keeping up with the demand for it.
Great service. Great food. We will definitely be going back again. Btw their mango chutney if to die for !!!
Good buffet for lunch on the weekend. Chicken masala and coconut soup were great
Bombay Mahal is one of the best Indian restaurants in the state. It's family run and the owners cook, which is always the sign of a good restaurant. Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tika Masala are some of my favorite dishes. Can't wait to go back soon!
did not like
Excellent food and friendly wait staff and owners. The weekend buffet has been my favorite for a very long time.
Love their food!
Good Buffet
My first time with Indian food. Coconut isn't my thing.
The weekend lunch buffet special for $13 is a total steal! Good selection of both meat and vegetarian options. Everything was hot fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was very cool and the service was friendly. Can't wait to go back.
The wait staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered the Dahl Mhakani, mild and it was super. My daughter got the same dish but medium. Hers had a small kick to it. Nicely decorated throughout.. Prices for dinner were a bit expensive....but we loved it anyway. The floors were clean. The wait for food was short. They have a super Mango Lassi drink! Beer was light and good. We also loved the cultural experience. Sometimes it can be difficult for me to step outside of my comfort zone but it was well worth it! I chose 4 out of 5 stars just because of cost but it was very good!!!
"Great food selections, great food, great service."
Friendly service, good vegetarian options
i like Indian food and this place was okay
Tried this place twice. Disappointed! My chicken dish was dry. Tasted like left over. My mango lasi was not cold. Bathroom was dirty. Will not comeback .
Went there this past Friday night with my husband and waited over an hour and a half for our food. Our waitress didn't even acknowledge that customers that came in 40 minutes after us were already finished eating and we still hadn't been given any food. She proceeded to argue with us that our order had not been lost and that they always work the orders in which they are received. After being beyond the point of starving and highly irritated the food was alright, nothing special. I would not come back here even if the meal was on the house, however I would recommend Mother of India in Lewiston over this any day.
Great service and wonderful buffet choices! People need to go here just to see the inside; it's beautifully decorated. I like how the chutney is right at the table so you don't need to ask for it. The waiter always makes sure to keep your glass of water full!
Excellent service , spice just right, delicious lamb curry
I don't say this often but in this case I have to this was by far the absolute best Indian cuisine I have eaten in my entire life. Each dish is prepared to order and the tastes are just spectacular.
Food served here is NOT AUTHENTIC INDIAN!! The place is a total waste and disgrace to Indian food. We ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken curry. Chicken curry was utter tasteless. Chicken Biryani had corn,chana,carrots,beans, bell peppers and even brocoli in it. Curry and Biryani is very close to the heart of any Indian and if they cannot get this basic thing right, then accoding to me that place is not worth visiting!! People, pls look elsewhere for authentic Indian food, this place isn't doing any justice to it.
Easily the best Indian food In Maine! A family favorite for over 20 years.
The best place in Midcoast Maine to get your great Indian food fix.
This is absolutely the Best restaurant in Maine! Delicious!!!
So good!
Great food.
The food...the atmosphere...the service...all top notch! We will surely be back!
First time trying Indian so not sure I can fairly rate a comparison but I liked it
Great place to eat. We were there the night they opened.. it was our first foray into indian food and I have been a customer since. I dont know if it is the best or worse indian food in maine... Since I have never had indian food anywhere else in my life (other than my own kitchen! I absolutely LOVE the Garlic Nann.. and the Samosas.. I try to get in for those at least once a month The Chicken Tikka is my favorite but my son loves the all the lamb dishes. I have always enjoyed the cozy comfort of the dining room and the warm friendly staff!
Nice food, Friendly Owner.
Fantastic weekend buffet! Pride in thier food
Excellent and fresh fish and in good sauce of fresh herbs. Spice level is adjusted to each guest
Great Indian food, the weekend buffets are delicious and fairly priced. The staff are friendly. Nice spot if you want a spicy meal
One of my favorite places to eat!
Again im a chef by trade in italian cusine but was absolutly pleased with this establishment the owner explained what each dish was and had in it and was awesome food and reasonably priced we will be visiting them again
