love it but its way over priced. the food here is great, but for indian food it is priced like it's a fancy steak house. you end up paying about $30 a person for something that any where else would be $15. i wish i could afford to go back.

i do like bombay deluxe. the buffet is great. however, the chicken in the butter chicken is a tad on the dry side.

the owner is very abrasive-i ordered the same thing i always order-the chefs special and am accustomed to gettiing the chicken breast for the last 10 yrs-this time i recieved the chicken leg and butt-all i asked for was a fair exchange and he totally humiliated me and we ended up leaving the money and food in the table because it was so horiffic- if that is customer sevice-than they will soon be out of business!

great food /sometimes great service. awesome food. awesome menu.
the lunch buffet is great but a little pricy.
they deliver, but the delivery charge is $5....way too high for me. most things are well-cooked, and the taste is great. some things were over-salted though.

most of the servers are polite, friendly, and great at their jobs. others (one in particular) make it obvious that they are only interested in getting a tip...such as offering extremely expensive items nonstop...like every time they walk by you, they suggest you order something else with a big price tag. sad to say but one employee can make you not want to eat there again.

not authentic. after reading the reviews i was hopeful that this would be a positive dining experience. to my dismay, the experience starting with a dirty tea cup, burnt naan with burnt garlic powder (rather than fresh garlic), and a greasy appetizer platter. i have never written a review before because i never really had a diningn experience as bad as this one. the servers were strange to say the least and food didn't really taste authentic. the appetizers came out with bland sauces rather than flavorful chutneys that add texture and the malai kofta was too rich and fatty. overall, the restaurant seemed dirty, food americanized, lacked flavor, and too heavy/greasy. maybe i'm just comparing the place to taste of india (amazing) in the se wi area?

good food. we ate here for the first time thanks to a groupon. we ordered the malai kaftas (vegetable dumplings in cream and nut sauce), paneer kalcha (naan with cheese), and shefta kebab (beef with spices cooked in an onion and pepper sauce). the kaftas were decent, nothing we will likely order again but it tasted fine, though the cream sauce was bland.

the paneer kalcha was excellent, even our two two-year-olds kept asking for more bread.

the kebab was very good - nicely spiced, the meat moist and the onions and peppers in the sauce soft but not overly cooked.

we ordered for take out and realized when we got home that we'd been given somebody's order of chicken tikka masala. we were glad we got it (and i was glad i'd tipped on a take out order) - the chicken was nicely cooked and spiced, though a tad too spicy for our tastes, so we ate just a bit and saved the rest.

we also got a good amount of basmati rice, which what little i ate was nice and fluffy, not a semi-congealed blog like you usually get at chinese restaurants.

the food is a little pricey (entrees seemed to all start at $13), but worth it for a splurge.

quite pricey for the quality of food served here. not quite gourmet, but better than yak & yeti at least.

by far the best indian food i've ever had; upon entering the aromas immediately welcomed us with open arms, the spices tantalized us and ushered us into our booth where we were greeted by spectacular service, the decor was fantastic, we had chicken marsala, lamb vindaloo and the bread basket. the food was served in wonderful stainless steel and copper bowls, all indivually set in front of us like little tasty treasures, the portions were perfect, we even have enough for dinner! definitely will be returning!!!

good if you order carefully. we have found that their meats are often dry or gristly, so we stick with the vegetarian items. most are awfully mild for indian food, and way more expensive than rice and beans justifies.

the seating is marginal - either uncomfortable and tight-sided wooden chairs or straight-backed booths it's impossible to relax into. there's a large-screen tv with ballywood movies playing all the time it's hard to tune out, but the indian decor is pleasant.

service is poor and slow and you get the idea that the owner has told the waitstaff not to dally, as they're gone before you can even ask a question, although they stand around out of reach, so it's not like they're overworked. we've seen staff pretend not to see kids' spills and give us no assistance or even napkins to help. actually, we've decided this is not a kid-friendly place at all, since you can forget getting a return trip from your server, and with kids, you always need something else, even if it's just more napkins or an extra plate. also, don't get the idea you could always order a second basket of bread if one isn't enough. they won't even come back to see if you need it, and if you somehow manage to flag someone down, it won't come until all your other food is gone, even though you can watch the chef making it and it takes next to no time.

we have discovered, however, that we can have a very enjoyable date night dinner at an affordable price if we only get 2 bowls of the lentil soup (the best soup ever), one basket of roti bread and one of plain naan (hate the garlic naan - burned garlic, ick), and 2 masala iced teas. everything else has been an expensive mistake.

give it a try!. i love this place. i was introduced to this place by some coworkers of mine and have been hooked ever since. i love the indian breads. my favorite breads include the garlic naan and the onion kulcha. the bread resembles pita bread and is made in the tandoor (clay oven). right when you walk into the restaurant there are two windows covered with curtains and behind those curtains are the clay ovens. i like watching them prepare the naan. my favorite entree is the chicken tikka masala. i love indian curry especially since i'm more familiar with chinese curry. indian curry? so delicious. you have a choice of mild, hot and very hot. i usually get hot or very hot since i love spicy food. their desserts are very delicious and so are their lassias (sweet yogurt drink). their employees are always very pleasant and attentive. great service. i have yet to try their lunch buffet. this is one my favorite places to eat here in anchorage. thumbs up. keep up the good work.

bombay deluxe is one of my favorite restaurants in anchorage and i've been going there for years. the staff is always very friendly and remember us from our previous visits. the food is amazing! my one and only negative observation is that the food lacks consistent flavor. while almost always really tasty, it depends on who's cooking. sometimes the dish i order is different than the last time i ordered it, and i'm not sure what to expect. regardless, the food is super yummy and a must try for people who like indian food or want to try something new.

mixed feelings. i have heard, from a number of people, that bombay deluxe is your best bet in town for indian food. my husband and i went for dinner on a friday night. we were seated quickly and our waitress was friendly (at first). we ordered the "sampler plate" for an appetizer. we choose this item because it had a variety and it was the only appy that didn't say that it was deep fried. when the sampler came to our table it was a bowl full of deep fried food. we asked our waitress if this was right? why didn't it state that it was deep fried? my husband got the mix grill (wihich was $24) and i got the chicken biryani. all the meat in the mix grill was way over cooked and dry (chicken, shrimp, steak, ground meat) my husband ate only a fews bites of each and left the rest of the dish. my dish was very good, great flavor, great portion size. i could tell the waitress noticed that most of our food was not eaten, but not once asked if there was something wrong. instead she seemed to avoid our table and when we paid for the check there was no thank you, have a nice evening. it seemed that she was offended that we didn't eat the food....puzzling. not sure if we will return. was really looking forward to being blown away by the food as we were told we would be.
