September 1, 2024As long as I can remember Bombay has been a staple in West Bridgford for years, and it's easy to see why.

We arrived and was greeted by a lovely lady (I assume the owner's wife). We sat at a lovely table and she made us feel very welcome throughout the whole meal.

The staff were so friendly as well 🙂

Second time coming, and both times have been amazing. The staff is great kind and very amicable, the drinks are great too. I had Strawberry Daquiri. Now let’s get to... read more the food:
Absolutely gorgeous, I had the Octupus curry with rice and garlic nun bread this time, and last time Inhad the butter chicken. Both my mother and my sister enjoyed their food.
If you are on a selective diet and cannot eat fried or butter like my mom, have no worries. The staff is helpful and will comply with any dietary restrictions.
Will come here again and thank you to everyone: Chef, waiters, barman, hostess and cooks 🙌☺️

February 23, 2024The food was not cooked properly and when we complained they did nothing and we later asked to take the food out.

The food was excellent, full of flavour and perfect mix of spice and taste.

December 28, 2023Awful staff. I have been going for years and the rude reception that we received in our last visit shocked me. I will not ever attend again.

I had no need to worry at all as it soon became evident all the staff are fully versed and trained in not only food intolerances but guiding customers through their coeliac options. Furthermore, I was overwhelmed at how kind and patient both servers were. I have to say one of the best experiences I've had and wanted to let you know that I'm also going to let the Coeliac Society know so they list you as a place to go! As a coeliac it's so difficult finding 'safe' places to eat especially at this time of year. Once again, I am eternally grateful for making it such a fine dining experience. Amazing staff especially the young lady who greeted us.

November 17, 2023We frequently go to the Bombay Bridgford before Notts Cricket Lovers Society Meetings at Trent Bridge. There is always a warm welcome and everything from beginning in to end is... read more smart and professional. The food itself is never less than superb, genuinely Indian and lovingly cooked. Yo won't go away hungry. I didn't know naan bread came in such large sizes. The menu is very personal and tells the story of how the different recipes came into being. Yes, you can get Tandoori Chicken here, but it would be a wasted opportunity. You would probably find it on the final page under 'British Indian'. If you are serious about Indian food, go to Bombay Bridgford and you won't go anywhere else.
November 6, 2023Sam was amazing, his service was great and I couldn’t fault him.
Amazing food and a great time.
The manager is also amazing!

Nice food and started off with great service but we got the sense we were being hurried through for another booking from the very start and were asked to leave... read more our table as soon as we finished our food and given the bill not even given the chance to finish our drinks only had the table for an hour and twenty. We were directed to an outdoor shed area by the men's toilets and when we left no one acknowledged us or directed to find our coats. For the price which is above average I would expect better service and a table for a least 2 hours for a bigger group.
October 14, 2023What a fantastic restaurant - fabulous food, excellent service. The owner is very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable.

October 12, 2023Excellent service and good food. On 19 September the waiter that evening advised us about our order and could not have been more helpful.
As a Tuesday night they were... read more happy to welcome late diners, which is not often the case. Good wine list, suited to a varied menu. We ate in and over-ordered to enable take-away!

Had an excellent 21st birthday meal here! Would highly recommend the chilli fish curry and the aubergine side

The waiter had some really good recommendations.... read more I definitely would recommend this curry house, the food was full of flavour and the staff are very welcoming. We can’t wait to come back.
July 2, 2023Food and service were both amazing. Me and my friends were all very pleased. Will defo be coming back here again, highly recommend.
June 30, 2023The food is good but the service provided by one of the staff member Shaun was not at all good. He doesn't know how to treat the guests, he was... read more very rude which spoiled our mood. He was also forcing us to pay the service charge.

Definitely recommend
June 29, 2023We tried this restaurant after watching cricket at Trent Bridge. We hadn't booked, but they managed to find a table for us and took our drinks order very quickly. The... read more menu is full of interesting dishes from all over the sub-continent and we had a hard time choosing what to have. We decided on the black bean curry and the tandoori fish tikka. Both were excellent and were accompanied by lovely rice, naan and daal, which the waiter recommended to us. The service was excellent too. The dessert menu was just that bit different, with kulfi lollies and some Indian dishes. My husband tried the Indian dessert of the week and I had chocolate samosas, both of which were lovely. Overall it was a wonderful ending to an already great day.

Over the last few months, we have eaten here a few times, before football games at the City Ground. I am vegan and my husband doesn't eat meat and so... read more we're always asking for suggestions from the menu. The lovely lady who greets people on arrival is always smiling and ready to recommend menu items which either are or can be made vegan. My absolute favourite is the Turtle Bean curry and the Naan bread which is the best I have ever tasted. My husband tried several fish dishes which were also lovely. Often busy, the staff are always doing their best, with kindness and courtesy, We can't wait to have another meal. Thank you!
May 23, 2023Myself and my family (4 adults) visited Bombay Bridgford last night. We're from Manchester and came to Nottingham for the cricket which was washed out yesterday. However our first time... read more in Nottingham and first time at BB and we were delighted with the food. Rajastani lamb chops were great, not chewy and well marinated. We ordered 2 main dishes and 1 side dish between the 4 of us and it was plenty of food. The chicken in the chicken karabiner was really moist and the Keema karahi was to die for! The best keema karahi we've eaten. The keema was tasty with a lovely thick sauce and the dish size was superb. Naan breads were beautifully soft and again yummy. We ordered 1 paratha which my dad described as 'proper' and 1 chapati which again was soft and not chewy. If we were to come to Nottingham again we'd definitely revisit.
The only thing I missed which is just what we get back home here in Manchester is a sauce tray with mint sauce/raita, chilli sauce etc on it for the starters but beggars can't be choosers.
It was lovely and we can't fault the food!
Thank you!
