Review of Bombay Nights

Good Indian. Disappointing Nepalese 
On the modern exterior, this restaurant likes to shout about how it was featured in the National press. It's only when you are inside that you find it was not really about the quality of the food but a publicity stunt they did flying in food to an event by helicopter. It serves both Indian and Nepalese food and after the great experiance I had at Yak Yeti Yak (Pulteney Bridge) I decided to go with the latter while my wife went for more traditional Indian choices. She really enjoyed her food and said she would definitely go back again if only on the strength (quality not heat) of the Lime pickle. She's a big fan of the stuff. Me, I have to say I was disappointed with my food. There weren't many Nepalese options and I was surprised after eating my starter to see the exact same recognisable green spice rubbed chicken reappear on my main course plate, albeit this time in a sauce. Mind you it was tasty enough. If you want good quality Indian food then Bombay Brasserie won't fail you. If it's the Nepalese food you are after then head to Yak Yeti Yak instead.
