"Absolutely loved this place. This is by far the most authentic indian food in the city! I eat Indian all the time, and this one truly hits home. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and perfectly balanced—no heavy oil, just clean, soulful cooking. Every dish tasted fresh and well-spiced. And our server Rosie was wonderful and made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to."

"We happened upon this place and are so glad we did! It was an absolute treasure with amazing food and otherworldly decor. The jewel tones lamps and flickering wall sconces lit up a room full of elaborately carved chairs and pressed metal hangings. The shrimp moll was crazy good with a spice profile unlike other Indian restaurant appetizers I’ve had. Each dish we had came with a maraschino cherry in, it was baffling and worked in the weirdest way. The gentleman who helped us was genial and kind. He guided us to a perfect meal and reminisced about a road trip in our home state. Again, so glad we found this place."

"Wow! That was so delicous!!! We had visited Bombay Chowk a few times over the last few years but had never become a regular as we had never walked away having been amazed. But idk what changed, the food was SOOOO good today. We had the new lamb samosa, lamb biryani, chicken makhani and garlic naan. Everything was so delicous. Every bite a burst of flavor. Either I was ordering the wrong things during my previous meals, or the chef changed, or idk, to tonight they hit the mark for me and I was very impressed. I can't wait to go back!!! (We spent our entire walk back hom talking about how crazily good the food was today)"

"Bombay Chowk serves exquisite food in a whimsical fantasy setting that takes you on a magical culinary adventure. Deepak, the owner, is a warm and wise host. Antika, one of the wonderful servers, is a charming, smart and funny NYU student who gave us expert recommendations. The sauces are indulgent and creamy and the naan is pillowy and luxurious. The spices are fresh, fragrant, and layered in a sophisticated yet unfussy way. I would eat here every day if I could! Honorable mentions: - Malai Kofta - Coriander Saag Paneer - Poori and Naan - Cumin Rice"

"There are a lot of restaurants in this neighborhood and we considered many of them, but warm glow exuding from Bombay Chowk's open door, and the sight of the Bollywood film projected into an ornate arch on the back wall pulled us in. The interior design is luxurious and magical. The staff are very friendly and when we left we felt as though we'd made new friends. We didn't really try any of the usual familiar North or South Indian standards (I mean, other than the garlic nan and wonderful pulao rice), because Deepak guided us to a street food appetizer that wasn't on the menu (trust Deepak). I would heartily recommend the Smoked Baingan Bharta, and a chicken dish cooked in a rich mint and coriander sauce. You can spend much less than we did: we ordered extra to take home. Looking at the menu now there are a large number of different dishes it may be worth making a trip to Lenox Hill to try. Thanks all, for a lovely evening and see you again soon."
