After a $600,000 renovation, the Bombay Club is back and better than ever.
Thank you for submitting a review. Please check back soon.
Despite the elegant decor and attentive waiter, the one time I ate here for a romantic meal I thought the mango lassi was thin and a bit watered down, and the channa I ordered was also nothing special. The naan was pretty good. It didn't seem worth the high prices or rave reviews, based on that visit.
We ate on a Friday night at 9:00. The restuarant looked beautiful, but not intimidating. The live piano was a nice touch. The food was excellent, including the fried spinach appetizer and a grouper special that was some of the best restaurant fish we have eaten in a long time. The service was excellent and friendly. I don't think the food was overpriced, but the drinks were pretty expensive.
It is just unbelievable how beautiful the restaurant looks. It is very chic and suave. The food has gotten some heat now. If you are trying to be cheap this is not the place to go. I usually go here for at least 3 courses. Try the new paneer appetizer or now the famous spinach chard.
This restaurant has exhibited to me the best service and food in the DC area for years. The food is spiced with perfectly balanced flavors which do not obscure the flavor of the food. Servings are not skimpy-you can not leave this restaurant hungry. We have never had a bad dish among the breads, meats, fish, and vegetables. Service is impeccable and personable, and the price for such perfection makes this the best deal in fine dining in DC. The Sunday Brunch, all you can eat, is somewhat limited compared to, say, Seasons, but very flavorful and more than adequate(and a lot less expensive). The high percentage of Indian customers attests to the quality. Reservations for evenings are essential, and I would recommend them for Sunday Brunch.
We were excited to try Bombay Club, we went on my birthday for dinner. It's a very elegant Indian restaurant, and the service was great. But the food was very avg, to below avg. The chicken on the Tika Masala was dry, the sauces had no real kick. It is one, what i consider, 'Americanized' Indian restaurants. Which means the spice is very moderate/low - it's too bad, we had such high hopes.
