Consider this: the most delicious food costs nothing more than the ingredients and love – and it is your Mother’s.

I think you will be exceedingly satisfied with the food prepared with this principle at Bombay Grills & Woks.

Sure, it is a humble restaurant, but the sincerity of its efforts and the obvious yumminess from its kitchen is worth more than fancy surroundings.

See this dessert, created and named after the owner, and on this planet only found at Bombay Grills & Woks… other planets and temporal dimensions, I cannot speak for 🙂

But Bombay Grills & Woks’ satisfaction comes from the pleasure of serving excellent dishes at a fair price – one could say, an honest price.

Flavorsome and creamy, tasty but not overpowering, and totally delightful, the balance of taste is again batting far above expected average.

For Diwali there are specials on offer, such as Khepsa – but for us we enjoyed the regular menu.

Even the Chinese-inspired dishes sported a luscious, thick gravy with very pleasant balance of flavors.

And a fantastic variety of dishes and drinks work together to bring flavors and colors that work together so well, resulting in a superlative meal.

Even the appetizer, inspired by popular street food – a mutton roll – was presented with elegance…

… and care in preparation – none of the oiliness or over-seasoning that quite often careless eateries can serve – at Bombay Grills & Woks it seems everything in the kitchen is crafted with full mindfulness.

See below how the mutton is cooked slow over time to make it super-tender, and the roll is wrapped first in egg, before the second outer layer of batter – and then a quick fry to crisp the exterior. Actually, a supremely delicious snack on its own, if not served at the beginning of a meal.
