The Bombay Grill

I love the food here, and have been a frequent customer for well over a year now. Though I agree that the décor definitely needs some upgrading — the great food makes up for it. I’ve been here well over 30 times, my family and I all love this restaurant. We typically order the butter chicken, shrimp karahi, naan, mango lassi and masala chai. 90% of the time the food comes right away (within 10 – 15 mins), the longest we’ve ever had to wait for our order was about 25 mins (rare occurrence). Would definitely recommend — their spicy butter chicken doesn’t disappoint!

I have finally found a place in the GTA that makes a wonderful paneer. After (4!) long years in search of a good paneer that matched the paneer that I had in (believe it or not), Guelph, I’ve stumbled upon this jewel. We came on a Sunday night.
Initially, we had intentions to dine in the place but to be very honest, we were a bit sketched out. First, there weren’t that many people in the restaurant… so I actually had to contemplate for a second if I was going to go in. Then, when we got in, there was a lack of lighting there and the table clothes were actual cloth… in need of cleaning 10 years ago. BUT… the place smelled delicious so the bf and I decided to be brave and stick to ordering… for takeout.
We ordered a chicken korma and a paneer with upgraded garlic naan. We also ordered a chicken pakora for starter. The chicken pakora was sub-​par actually and had that been the only dish I ordered, I would not have gone back. The parkora was definitely not freshly fried and tasted re-​fried/​re-​heated. The portion was also very small for a dish that costed $ 10.
The chicken korma was quite good and flavourful. The only complaint I have is that they used a lot of dark meat, making the chicken taste very fatty. Their garlic naan was definitely worth the upgrade because they used LOTS of fresh garlic.
Their saving grace was the paneer makhani. OH. My. God. It was SO delicious. The tomato sauce was just the right amount of flavour and they were bang on on the texture of the paneer.
This is definitely a place that I will come back to — hands down.

Good food! So far closest to flavours from back home, moderate spice levels which was a bonus for my daughter. Will go back.

The interior could be better. I felt like I was in my grandma’s gloomy living room when the lights got switched on at night. But who cares about that when the food is good?
It’s just a bit out of my price range, but this is coming from a student.
The food seems to be made with high quality. I enjoyed the chicken korma, tandoori chicken and a dal dish. Naan was good but the goat biryani could use much more spiciness.
Everything I’ve had were nice and it was a pleasant experience. My wallet says otherwise.

Came here when opened many years back. Not sure if it is still an all you can eat. I’ve been meaning to return but haven’t found the right foodie partner to join me for some Indian.
My memory of this restaurant was a very busy yet enthusiastic owner who was happy to serve around their grand opening. I called in and asked if they have palak paneer? He answered no, asked if I’d be coming today? I said and I would be there soon, he replied then I will specially start making palak paneer for you my friend.
And sure enough he did. Excellent food and price when I went. Hoping to return soon.

Excellent value for this Indian buffet we tried for the first time this weekend. $ 11 for all you can eat buffet 7 days a week! I really enjoyed this place as it seems less spicy than some other places. Selection includes tandoori chicken, vegetarian samosa, paneer, butter chicken, chick pea masala, papadum, onion pakora, gulab jamun. Fresh naan is brought to your table. I liked how they had watermelon in the fruits section for dessert (rare to find these days during lunch buffet). This place is quieter than other buffets I’ve been to probably due to the location, this I like very much.
Lunch buffet prices :
Tues-​Fri 11:30am to 2:30pm
Sat-​Sun 12pm to 3pm
Non veg … $ 10.99
Vegetarian … $ 9.99
Children (2 – 7 yrs) … $ 6.99

Went there for lunch buffet and it was really good for what you pay for :) not busy at all when I went. Best Indian so far in Markham!

I prefer this restaurant to really any other Indo/​Pak place in GTA. Of course, Gerrard has Lahore Tikka and there are some higher end restaurants… but overall this homely place has amazing high quality food with solid service. Butter chicken (kid friendly, not spicey but still great!), Rogan Josh, and Palak Paneer and Dal Tarka are all good. They have a lucnh buffet which is worth it, but if you order off the menu and get medium spice you are going to be very surprised at the quality. I catered with them for 30 people and was very happy.

Good Indian food in Markham area. Had a major takeout from this restaurant recently and food turned out pretty good!

I came here past Saturday for dinner with my family at 5:45pm. There was one other table seated inside and the restaurant was empty. After being seated, there were two others that came in to pick up their take out orders.
We ordered at 5:55pm and our food didn’t come until 7:05pm and I kid you not. During our time waiting we noted they had numerous take out orders, catering orders. But this was not excusable to have your dine-​in patrons to wait over 1 hour for even a single dish to come out.
We kept asking her when the food was going to come out, 5 minutes became 30 mins and 3 more minutes became another 30 minutes. My husband was furious and said we were leaving and then the wife said they already made the food and it’s coming out in 3 minutes, it finally did.
This was such a waste of our time to have waited 1 hour just to get the food. Totally unacceptable and we will not be going back.

Food quality is in the upper percentile for Indian food in the local area, however the customer service is lacking. The restaurant appears to be operated by an owner couple without any hired hands.
Ordered takeout at 8:00pm on Friday and was quoted 20 min wait time. I showed up 15 mins later and had to wait an additional 30 mins in the restaurant before food was ready.
Note to the owners: Hire some help! I guarantee you have lost customers because of your quality of service.

This is my favourite indian restaurant in Markham. I live nearby and it’s my go-​to for indian takeout. The bad part about this place is that the inside is really old and ugly. Zero ambiance. The service is a bit weird — inconsistent, I suppose is the best word. Regardless, the people who work there are at least very nice, so that’s redeeming.
The good: the food. Oh, the food. Not many indian places serve beef, but beef curry is my absolute favourite, and theirs is on point. My other favourite dish from this place is the eggplant (baigan burtha). Best I’ve ever had!

Relied on ratings to find this place and you guys didn’t let me down! Not a fancy establishment but the food was very tasty. We had shrimp Korma, chicken korma, and chicken karahi. We got rice with each and had enough left over for another dinner. Would recommend 2 orders of rice for 3 people. The nan was plentiful and delicious. The food and nan stayed warm the whole meal. This place is a jem waiting to be discovered by your pallet. A must try if you are in reasonable driving distance!

Bombay Grill is located along Hwy 7, past McCowan towards Markham. It’s located in a plaza that also has the service Ontario office.
Pros: Decent Food, Very good Mango Lassi, Faluda, Kulfi and decent prices. They have this great deal for meal for 4 people or something, you get lots of options to choose your dishes. Perfect for families. Decent naan (not chewy)
Cons:
The décor is OLD as HECK… it’s not rock bottom prices on the menu to get this kinda 90s décor. I grew up in a South Asian household and frequented Indian restaurants since I was a child. Walking in here takes me back to the 1990s… and it’s 2015 for crying out loud.
The owner seems friendly and wonderful. But the times i’ve been there occasionally you get some staff lacks basic knowledge about menu items and sometimes pricing. But that’s okay!
Would I come here again? Yes. But I would appreciate a change in décor!

Horrible service
The staff here has spoiled our mothers day celebrations.
Did reserve a place before hand and had to wait for food for almost 1hr 45 min.

I came here on a Sunday night with my boyfriend because I was craving Indian food.
We were seated right away and the kind waitress was very attentive throughout the night (partly because we were the only dine ins).
I ordered a mango shake ($ 4.49) and it was delicious. I expected it to be thick since it was a shake but it was the perfect consistency.
My boyfriend was nice enough to let me order what I want (partly because he didn’t know what to order haha). I got the paneer pakora (6 for $ 9.99), butter chicken ($ 11.99) and garlic naan ($ 3.99) to share.
It took a while for the food to come but when it did, everything was done to perfection. The paneer pakora is not something I see often on menus but maybe it’s because I’m not familiar with the cuisine so I was very excited to try it. It was the perfect crispiness and the accompanying sweet sauce paired perfectly with it. The portion of the butter chicken was big enough to fill the both of us. Although it’s not the best butter chicken I’ve ever had, it was still good. The garlic naan was very garlicky which I appreciated. I can even taste the garlic with the butter chicken sauce covering it!
Overall, I would say that the service is a bit slow but the food is great. I’m quite interested in coming back to try their lunch buffet!

Although the owner of this location (Krishna) hasn’t put as much work into the interior decorating of this place like the Burlington location, I found the food quality and service to be far superior. He has taken the effort of traveling to Delhi to venture on the streets to replicate flavors to the best that he could and he has done an amazing job!!! Originally from Nepal and in the Markham area for a few years now, his passion and dedication for his restaurant is even indicative in the dishes he serves as part of his lunch buffet which is only $ 11 includes meat and veg dishes as well as naan that is brought to the table fresh and warm. With a very pleasant demeanor, humble attitude and gratitude shown towards every customer there; excellent food at an extremely reasonable price, he scores high on my Unilocal list for the one of the best Indian restaurants in the Scarborough /​Markham and beyond area (s).

This indian restaurant is by far the best in markham! The food is always fresh and is cooked for perfection love the beef karahi and the butter chicken. … I now go here very often because its very delicious!

100 times better than the East Side Mario’s down the street!
The sizzling chicken plate was moist and juicy. The butter chicken was smooth, flavourful and … well, buttery. The naan bread, warm and soft with a crispy skin. The rice, fluffy and delicious. In fact the entire mean was delicious … and the waitress was attentive, pleasant and very helpful.
Don’t mind the décor with the aging carpet, drop ceiling and homey charm. It’s actually charming in a down to earth and honest kind of way. Dump the chain restaurants owned by billionaires, support the local economy and come eat here instead.

At first glance this place might give a bad impression. The place is small and décor was a bit out of date. Most people were having the all you can eat but I decided to order from the menu instead and I’m so glad I did. Got the garlic naan — man was it garlicy and buttery. I known garlicy is not even a word but there is no other way to describe it. It was simply yummy. The butter shrimp was just as good and had so many flavors. A very good Indian restaurant but I still consider Bombay Bhel the best in terms of taste and quality. Business didn’t seem that great but I guess its due to their location. Right in the middle of Markham which is like the new China town now. Hope business picks up as I would hate to lose this place since its so close to home.
