Bombay in Berlin

Went there for dinner before the concert. You should pre-order. The restaurant seems to be a fast food restaurant a little further away. Lots of places in a small space, there is no privacy. The toilet situation is a bit critical and needs to be worked on. The food comes very quickly, so you should hurry up with an appetizer. Since we knew the portion size, we ordered a meal to share. Which was possible without any problems. The food was very tasty. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.

An unforgettable experience in the “Bombay Restaurant” Before and after the show at the Friedrichstadtpalast we ate at the “Bombay Restaurant” on Friedrichstrasse – and it was an excellent choice! The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that suited our evening perfectly. There were people in wheelchairs among us, and we were very happy that the restaurant is barrier-free. There were no difficulties accessing and the staff were very helpful and attentive. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were particularly impressed by the fact that the team responded to our special requests - whether in the selection of dishes or special needs, we were always well looked after. The food was simply delicious - from the spicy curries to the delicate tandoori dishes, everything was freshly prepared and tasted wonderful. We particularly liked the variety of dishes and the ability to customize the dishes to our taste. We can only warmly recommend the “Bombay Restaurant” and are looking forward to another visit – both before and after the next show in the Friedrichstadtpalast!

Good restaurant of Indian cuisine. Food is delicious, portions are large, service is professional. Good restaurant with Indian cuisine. The food is delicious, the portions are large, the service is professional.

It was a nice place with good food, I had some panner item but beat part was the salad and the soup they offered woul

The food while okay was really not what we expected from an Indian restaurant. For example, an onion bhaji was actually onion rings.. chicken tandoori tasted bland. And they charged us 2 euros a glass for tap water.

The sauces of the main courses taste artificial, not recommended. Bathura bread was again perfect.

Went there for lunch today. Reasonable prices (9€ main course with lentil soup and bathura). One vegan and one vegetarian dish on the lunch menu. Very nice service. Fast and attentive. Typical dishes well seasoned and tasty. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to eat well and cheaply right next to the Friedrichstadt-Palast.

Employees were very friendly. Service 5 stars. Unfortunately the food was very unspectacular. Vegetarian: it tasted like boring tomato sauce with cream. The eggplant dish had a slightly burnt taste. The Batura was very good. The cocktails weren't prepared as usual. The low alcohol content was probably due to the happy hour price.

It was very tasty 😋 and the cocktails are also good 👍

Spectacular food, I ordered small basmatic rice and chicken curry, it was a lot of food for 1 person but I had dinner there and took the rest home.

My favorite Indian! Great food! Great ambience! And great service

Food and drinks came quickly. Unfortunately, my drink was no longer carbonated and the food was just average. One meal was somewhat O.K., the other was unfortunately over-seasoned. The quality of the chicken meat was also not convincing at all.

We had dinner with 4. Honestly staff was so nice! Great service we spilled some water they came to clean up without us asking, they are very attentive never had to wait for service for ordering. Food was delivered fast and with a smile! Taste wise I am a sucker for curry and they have great curry. Bhanu thank you for the service.

Delicious food and we were really full. We couldn't even finish eating. Would love to come again.

Il cibo indiano una scoperta. Non conoscevamo la cucina indiana, ma ci è piaciuta, il servizio è stato veloce e gentile, i piatti buoni e curati

Since we didn't spend a minute's walk in a hotel, we stopped at this location on the outside terrace in the evening. Mainly a drink, but I also decided to eat because I was hungry. Service took forever, couldn't speak German and was just annoying. At the end of the evening we had contact with 6 different service staff because everyone was responsible for something different or didn't understand anything at all. Drinks were good, food was OK but very hot, the naan bread was also good. There is definitely no value for money for food here. Cocktails, however, were cheap and tasty.

Excellent food and top service. Can highly recommend the lunch menu.

We first told ourselves we had a free choice of seats and then moved on. We also had to wait a very long time

The food is very costly & tasteless. Charged extra money than the menu bill. Very bad experience

Great restaurant, very good food, great and very friendly service!!

Grand restaurant indien dans Mitte Berlin. Grande terrasse, service tres rapide et sympathique. Plats indiens de tres bonne facture, largement servis, beaucoup de gouts!

The owner of my favorite Indian restaurant is also very helpful and a very nice person

Good food, nice friendly staff and really short waiting times. Absolutely recommended

I ate at Bombay for the second time last Friday. I really like the food. I liked the appetizer mix platter for 2 and the sauces that went with it. The lamb with vegetables in curry sauce was also very tender and delicious!!! I'll be back! Service is also super nice and accommodating.

A beautiful restaurant. Great service and delicious food. Everyone nice and friendly.

Found this restaurant near our hotel and it is the best restaurant. We stayed for 2 nights nd had lunch dinner here .food is good nd staff is good specially Kajal and Priya both are sweet ladies. They are very helpful. Overall experience was good n service is very fast. There was one lady name Victoria she is rude but other staff is good

Great restaurant with a nice beer garden

Wonderful experience of Indian cuisines specially thankful to bartender Sawan & Order taket Sonu who not only provide excellent services but also best food....Thanks Bombay... see you soon

We stopped by Bombay Restaurant for lunch while touring Berlin and were impressed by their Business Lunch deal. As vegetarians, we appreciated the two options available—Dal Tarka and Palak Paneer. We went with the Palak Paneer, which came with rice, and the flavors were incredibly authentic and well-balanced. The Lunch time deal also included a delicious lentil soup, a small Bhatura, and a fresh salad, which made for a satisfying and wholesome meal. If you’re looking for a great vegetarian meal, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Great location, good food, and great service...

The Bombay on Friedrichstrasse is a real highlight. I was impressed on my first visit, which is why I was there for the second time. The food is simply outstanding – authentic, spicy and rich. The service is extremely friendly and attentive, the employees regularly ask whether everything is OK, which I really appreciate. What is particularly positive is the varied menu, which offers something for every taste. The prices are also fair for the quality you get. In summer, the ability to sit outside is a big plus. On our last visit there was a small mistake with the order - fries that we hadn't ordered were brought to the table. However, the service staff reacted very confidently and simply left the fries to us so that we could enjoy them more. This behavior is really worth highlighting and has reinforced our positive impression of the service. Reservations online are easy and highly recommended.

My (our) 6th or 7th evening meal here over several years. What was once a lively and comfortable restaurant now feels like a dull tourist trap. Staff showed little interest beyond a takeaway counter level of service, food was a mixture of hot and warm and a cocktail listed with ‘Fizz’ in the title was flat, syrupy and undrinkable. All a real shame. Used to love visiting and was a highlight of the city but really regret eating there tonight.

Unfortunately a bit overpriced for just something to drink. The outdoor area offers plenty of space. So stop by spontaneously even without a reservation.

Solid lunch, but the waiter charged the 0.4 drink, even though there are only 0.2 drinks on the lunch menu, and "misunderstood" the tip. Willingness to correct incomplete. Unsatisfactory.

The food, service, attitude: everything was bad.

At Bombay Friedrichstrasse I tried the Chicken Madrasi with rice as well as Paneer Naan and Garlic Naan. The Chicken Madrasi was spicy with a pleasant spiciness that went well with the rice. The naan breads were fresh, the paneer naan was tender and the garlic naan was aromatic. The service was attentive and friendly. There is enough seating outside. Overall, a solid Indian restaurant with authentic dishes.

Food was just ok. I expected more flavor and spice. Had the lunch special with the vegetarian option, which came with lentil soup. Also ordered the mango drink and didn’t like it since I’ve had much better. Not bad for the price but I won’t be returning.

Finally the “boss” with her shining eyes is back in Mitte. Now the service is good again...even if there are two of you, you don't have to sit next to the toilet, thank you. It's nice that you're back from Alt Tegel!!!

Best Indian food in Berlin !! The naan was purely amazing, seems like I was eating in India. The ghee and butter was extremely pure and rare. The paneer kadai was exceptional. The service was 5 syar

Cocktails great and unbeatably cheap. The food was very tasty and the service was very attentive and friendly.

Very friendly staff, food very good. Only recommended!

As always, the food was very tasty. It's very comfortable to sit inside and outside, and the service is friendly and quick

The staff was friendly, the main waiters spoke German. Chicken soup and palak paneer were ok… But stay away from Tandoori Chicken Tikka...a disaster! The meat has never seen a tandori oven, it is soft and limp. I've been to India too often and I know how it should be....the waiter said it was typically Indian, but apparently realized that I couldn't be fooled and offered - which was professional - a compensation in the form of Gulab Jamun - vanilla ice cream ... that after the main course a suitable compensation... so steer clear of Tandori chicken tikka

Yes, I love Indian food... I sat on the terrace which was very large so there was a good choice of seating... the food was a business menu and completely sufficient... the chicken vindaloo had a good spiciness but the sauce was a little bland like it came from a detra pack. .good price for a menu that also comes with soup and a kind of flatbread...all in all I was satisfied, thank you 🙏

Super authentic Indian cuisine.

Staff was very friendly and the food was very delicious also the drinks,"oh my god" drinks were super. So, I recommend this restaurant is the best in berlin for food and drinks

Worst Indian restaurant in Berlin. Food tastes like nothing. The food isn't even Indian. No spices, no sentence. 2 minutes after order is on the table. I'll never come to this weird cafeteria again.

Really good service! Quick and efficient. It was late and still they served us (around 10pm). It was very hot and there’s no fans or anything but nothing they can do about it. I didn’t like that they allow people to smoke on the outdoor sitting area, it wasn’t nice while we were eating.

Good location if you are staying in city centre but quite average Indian food. Food was quite basic and does not reflect authentic indian food / home cooked Indian food.

If you would like Indian food, this is the place for you!

Business lunch is awesome. The food is to die for (613 highly recommended, buttery chicken). The price level is almost as good as before Corona. The service is incredibly accommodating and friendly. Great recommendation! I'll be back.

Great location. Food: Tasty and plentiful (who eats that much rice?) Cocktails: Permanent happy hour - cocktails for 6.90! ...also Long Island Iced Tea and Adios Amigo - boy oh boy...

We had the tandorri chicken and the potato balls with cashew sauce and both were incredibly tasty. The waitresses are friendly and quick. We were very happy that we discovered Bombay🙃

Bad service. Doesn't seem interested in having guests. Took a long time to even order food and drinks. Didn't even have ice cream listed on the menu.

We had dinner there yesterday to celebrate my sister's birthday and sat outside. The first round of drinks came quickly and was delicious too. The food was also served quickly. Unfortunately the food was only lukewarm, the rice served was cold and the portions were very small. I had the Shahi Paneer for €16 and only had 8 small paneer cubes in my sauce. It's understandable that the prices are higher than at other Indian restaurants, but in terms of taste and quantity, it was definitely not worth the €16. The rest of the service was subpar and disgraceful: When it started to rain outside we were literally left out in the rain and didn't help us move inside. We then went in and were then ignored for quite a while and not served further. When we asked for the menu for another round of drinks, the waitress told us it was the last round. The second cocktail we got was simply undrinkable and no effort was clearly made. The remaining tables were quickly checked in and five minutes later the waitress explained to us and the other tables that we were not allowed to drink in the restaurant but had to pour everything into plastic cups and leave. One of the waiters then handed out the plastic cups with the words "I hate the thought, but they have to go" and simply poured the drinks into the plastic cups and simply took my water glass that I hadn't finished yet. The European Championship public viewing of Slovenia against Portugal was simply switched off in the 93rd minute of the game and we weren't even allowed to watch the game to the end. It wasn't even 11 p.m. and the restaurant's official opening time is actually until midnight, according to the website. We were then no longer allowed to use the upstairs toilets, so there was a queue at the only toilet downstairs due to the last guests. The waitress was constantly pestering us to ask if we were finally ready. When we told her that the behavior was outrageous, she just said "It has to end at some point" and mimicked my sister outside while locking the door. I have never experienced such outrageous behavior and such lousy service and I am quite shocked that people behave like this towards paying guests. But the restaurant probably lives on Friedrichstr. only from its walk-in customers and doesn't have to make any effort to encourage guests to return with friendly service.

Food was good but not special. Unfortunately the mixed grill was without sauce. Service was normal. Atmosphere could be a bit better. Prices are very affordable. For a quick and normal bite, you can go for this restaurant.

Waiter got our food order wrong multiple times. We were served our main courses before our plates were taken away. Chicken pakora tasted processed and didn’t sit well in all 6 of our stomachs. Peshwari Naan was covered in fruit, not the best. Curry’s were all round good, however service, starters and Naan breads were all pretty poor, leaving us with a sleepless night.

The atmosphere is calm and vibrant and matches the vibe of Friedrichstraße. Food is good, have a small menu to maintain the quality . Overall satisfied

This place was not good. I ordered a vegetarian dish and it didn’t taste good. It was only tomato sauce based gravy. The biryani did not have any good flavour in it. It was bland. The chicken dish did not have much masala. I feel this is not suited for Indians. I felt they just gave us the yesterday’s food. If the ratings for this restaurant is higher then better restaurants are getting 4.0 or even lower rating even if their food tastes better and is better in quality, which is not good.

Bij aankomst plaats genomen buiten, maar verhuisd naar binnen i.v.m. een zeer luidruchtige groep engelse mannen. Heerlijk gegeten: lam en kip tikka gerecht met rijst en groenten, met daarbij een frisse salade. Vooraf samosa genomen. Het hoofdgerecht kwam erg snel na de samosa. De tikka en de rijst waren heerlijk, er had alleen iets meer kip in gemogen. Met een heerlijke fles Chardonnay de maaltijd gecompleteerd. Restaurant is een aanrader!

We had a business menu and it was perfect. The price/performance ratio is mega. There was a salad, a lentil soup with homemade bread and the main course for just under €10 - and that in 2024!

If you are going there for food, don’t. The quality of food is super duper bad, they put tomato sauce in most of the stuff. You can taste the preservatives, I mean if you are charging so much at least put fresh tomatos. But the location is good so if you and service is fine. I would recommend not relating to indian as it’s offensive to our food.

Everything's great, but unfortunately the outside area isn't cleaned, so there's bird droppings on chairs, tree branches everywhere 😢

I didn’t have a good experience, but I need to be precise and say we visited the restaurant almost by the closing time. Nevertheless they allowed us to enter and order food, so I would still expect a good service. Lets s start with the cocktails, the mojito was just sugar and alcohol, the sugar was not crushed, so it was all in the bottom, when I tried to drink only the sugar came up. The pina polada was also only alcool, not properly mixed as expected. About the food I ordered paneer pakoras, the batter was not cooked, inside was all liquid. The chicken was ok Overall I didn’t have a nice experience

A nice terrace outside and friendly service. Unfortunately the food was tasteless and boring.

Tandori chicken mediocre, the vegetables served with it were unseasoned and burnt. The rest of the food we ordered was okay but also tended to be underseasoned.

Very tasty, service top. Great value for money for the location. Gladly again. (And then we bring our chili... 😉)

It was pretty awkward place; I ordered aperitif at the daytime(2 pm), but the waiter questioned me with shock as if I am doing terrible thing. Nevertheless I was sitting for 2 hours, they didnt come up to check if i want something else.. Instead I went, after I felt like all the male waiters surrounded me and staring at me. I felt it because they were judging me that I ordered one little cocktail(I am a young woman and there were no other customers, so it felt really faulty)

There are vegan dishes. We sat outside and were served very friendly. The service deduction is for the fact that I specially ordered a vegan curry and asked whether the garlic naan was also vegan. The response was that it could be made vegan. The non-vegan starter salad was still available and it was only when asked that we were informed that it was not vegan. It's a shame that people don't keep something like that in mind or ignore it.

If you want to eat well, this is the place for you. We enjoyed it and were really full. We would love to come back 👍

The food was good, Indian is something different. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was very friendly.

Drinks came super fast, really super fast. I've never experienced that before either. The meal didn't take long either. The service was very attentive and friendly. Food was completely fine, perhaps a bit “little” for my standards. You can do it if you like Indian.

Although all the food looked amazing.. Didn’t taste the Indian food :) tikka masala with no taste, no spice.. the garlic naan bread was very thin and way too sweet - did not enjoy it. Apart that, the roasted potatoes were really nice and good steamed rice, just wish was a bit more flavour in the plate. Although, the selection of drinks and cocktails was amazing and the location + the staff and service was very good

Lovely authentic food and best possible location… very easy to find.

was very nice ❤️ . The food was super delicious 😋. Very nice restaurant, would be happy again.

Always a pleasure when we are in Berlin. Price/performance ratio is right.

Not at all according to our expectations, we can't remember ever having eaten so badly!!!

Despite reservations, we were assigned the “sinners' table” in a niche right next to the entrance. Here it smelled like urine in the recesses of a train station toilet. After we changed, the waitress had to be asked to wipe the table. The meal contained coriander, which was not stated on the menu. A no-go, considering that 17% of Europeans don't (can't) eat coriander. You will only receive a paper invoice upon request. Maybe the tax office should check the books. The canceled coriander dish was also on the bill. It was only canceled after further inquiries. The atmosphere resembled a crowded train station waiting room in which a “Kessel Buntes” audience was waiting.

Very tasty food. Super nice service. Prices are OK for the area and current time. Will come again

It was our first visit one of my friend has recommended me.. it took so long to waiter to take a order for our table and then we have ordered cocktails and starters .. After our starters we all have waited so long and have so much patience that waiter will come to us but he has disappointed us so badly he has passed through the table so many times but do not even once ask to us we wanted to have main course but in the end we went to cash counter and ask him for bill he asked the reason even in last we found his apology was also seems like formality.. I genuinely do not wanna recommend it.. Food was good but waiter service was so bad… May be he thought he won’t get a good tip.. overall bad remarks.

Nous avions envie de nous régaler d’un repas indien, nous avons été très déçus. Les plats ne sont pas savoureux, les ingrédients de très mauvaise qualité. Mon riz poulet Biryani n’en avait que le nom, pas la saveur escompté. Les morceaux de poulet étaient grossièrement coupés, et spongieux au goût. Les Seekh Kebab étaient gras et aussi de qualité médiocre. Seul le Dahl tirait son épingle du jeu. Dommage, on y reviendra plus.

We always enjoy coming here. The food is good and the service is very accommodating.

Unfortunately, we were simply charged extra for the “standard rice” (€2.60) and the (payment) pad was placed so that it was difficult to see it when paying the bill. Since we otherwise had a lovely evening there, it was only (but still) a bitter aftertaste. A pity!

I like the food here, not really any complaints there, with also a good Vegetarian menu. Service is a bit of an questionmark, however food has been prepared quick 😊 especially lunch menu is well priced ⭐️ and recommended.

Very good Indian restaurant with very nice service and reasonable prices.

We were here once in the summer of 2018, back then on the outdoor terrace, and were thrilled. Because of its proximity to the Friedrichstadtpalast, we opted for the Indian restaurant for dinner this time too - and were disappointed. The impression has arisen that they want to monetize the space advantage at all costs. Five of us were seated at a table (reserved well in advance) that was well occupied by four adults. Overall, the tables were so close that even the service had problems serving individual tables/seats appropriately. After the first round of drinks and the serving of food, the overwhelmed service fell by the wayside. We're still waiting for two drinks today. It's a real shame, we probably won't be guests again.

A good place to grab something to eat after the show at Friedrichstadt-Palast. The spiciness of the food was also suitable for European stomachs. It tasted delicious. The upper area is not suitable for wheelchair users. The toilets are also located there.

It was quite good. The food was brought in copper bowls, which unfortunately gave off heat quickly. A pity.

Great lunch, great service even when busy

Sufficient cuisine for Berliners. Staff rather slow but friendly.

.. we were just there for a quick little lunch. Fast, sufficient and good. 👍

Nice curry. Very rude staff. Not one smile from any of the staff that came to our table and no asked how our meal was. We certainly weren’t made to feel welcome. Wouldn’t come here again despite good food.

The staff were not clear about the bill as the chicken biriyani price in the menu was mentioned 12.90 euro but they charged me 17.90 euro here is an attachment

Het eten was top. De sfeer in het restaurant is niet fantastisch maar het eten is heerlijk. Het personeel is vriendelijk en doet zijn/haar best!

Undercooked Chicken Hotchpotch (Khichdi) was served in the name of Chicken Biryani. But the service was relatively good. Especially I would never recommend this restaurant for Biryani.

Beim betreten des Restaurants kam ein starker Geruch von bahnhofstoilette entgegen, eine Mischung aus starken wc Reiniger und …naja Urin. Es wurde auch recht schnell voll und essen wurde zügig verteilt, was dem Geruch zu gute kam. Zur Einrichtung, schlicht einfach wenig Deko ( nen bisschen Kantine ) Mein Stuhl hatte ein wackeliges Bein. Im Herren wc eine Toilette und eine Tür kaputt. Papierhandtücher waren um 19 Uhr auch keine mehr vorhanden. Und der Geruch kam definitiv aus der Toilette. Um nich all zu viel zu meckern, muss man ehrlich sagen, dass das Essen soweit gut war. Raita war etwas nüchtern, Bhatura etwad ölig. Die Hauptspeisen waren lecker …. …. Aber , leider war beim Lamm korma und beim Batak Sabzi sehr wenig Fleisch drin. Verhältnis Fleisch/gemüse 20/80. Alles in allem leider zu teuer 🫰 Es gibt weit bessere Inder wo man günstiger essen kann und das keine 500m weiter entfernt.

Es war sehr schön ❤️ . Das Essen super lecker 😋 . Sehr schönes Restaurant gerne wieder .

Ich verstehe nicht warum nur 4,x Sterne. Für mich immer wieder ein Besuch wert wenn man in Berlin ist. SERVICE Top. ESSEN Top. Alles super.

Wir waren zu zweit heute zum Mittagstisch essen, Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Essen war gut, uns hat es geschmeckt und wir würden beim nächsten Berlin Besuch wiederkommen 👍

Essen war okay...freundliches Personal. Potential nach oben vorhanden.
