Reviews The Bombay Grill

I ordered off the menu. I had the butter chicken and beef biryani. They tasted great, fresh and I was very happy with the portion size. Will definitely go back.

I didn't know about this place. We were suppose to go somewhere else for dinner but since that was closed we thought of trying this place. The place wasn't pleasing from outside because it was dark and not that great. 

We ordered for starters Chicken Tikka and Sheesh Kabab Lamb, my favourite was the Lamb Kabab, it had nice flavour and taste to it, if I come to this place again then it would be for the lamb kabab. We also had Alu Paratha and I have to say they were good but way tooooo spicy for me, well that didn't stop me from not having those paratha, later I had 2 glasses of milk. 

For Main dish we had Rangjosh chicken, Butter chicken and Chicken Biryani. The quantity was decent enough for four people. Biryani wasn't that great, adding the rangjosh made me enjoy the biryani. 

Overall it wasn't a bad place.

Had the lamb curry and it was amazing nice and tender and the spices were just perfect: )...my new food spot..great service too and good prices ofcourse

My mom discovered this place on the Internet, and decided to take us as she loves curry and wanted to try a new place. Located in a nondescript plaza, the Bombay Grill has quickly become one of my family’s favourite places to eat, and we often bring people here when they come to visit.

They also have other locations in Milton, Ajax, Hamilton, and Burlington, but I have only gone to the Markham one. While they offer lunch buffet, but I would highly recommend ordering off the menu, as the dishes are freshly prepared and are more flavourful in comparison to the buffet option.

My appetizer of choice is the vegetable pakora; deep fried to perfection, they come piping hot and the tamarind sauce that accompanies it is sweet and ties it all together. 

I have actually tried all the paneer dishes (mutter, palak, karahi, and makhani) and liked them all, but the one we order the most often has to be the paneer makhani. The sauce tastes very similar to the butter chicken sauce, but lighter and a touch sweeter.

We often order the vegetable biryani; while chock-full of flavours, this is a truly spicy dish, and I definitely need the accompanying yogurt to finish.

I’m usually entirely too full for dessert, but if you’re in the mood, the pistachio kulfi is a nice, light cap to the end of the meal. The one I had was a tad icy, and not as smooth as the typical ice cream or gelato.

They also offer a number of drinks; the mango beer is a must try! Definitely one of my favourite beers. The mango lassi is also good if you want something without alcohol. 

To recap: our favourite entrees include the paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and of course, the butter chicken (my dad must have this every time). It is hard to go wrong with any of the dishes here; there hasn’t been one dish I haven’t enjoyed, but the above mentioned are definitely the ones we order time and time again. While I often see people coming here for take-out, I would suggest sitting down to enjoy the meal, as everything is freshly prepared and tastes best eaten right when it arrives.

One of the best Indian cuisine restaurants we've been to in the GTA. Staff are very welcoming and always smiling, quick service food was served hot in a short time. Their chicken biryani has a strange nice taste (chicken marinated with red sauce). Butter chicken is the BEST in town. Must try.

Really excellent food. got takeaway from here last week for the first time and will definitely order from here again in the future. I notice that the most common negative review points here are about mistakes with orders or about food being too spicey or oily. I can only speak to my limited experience, but we had a large order and everything was exact. Our food was not too oily compared to other indian restaurants we've been to in Markham, and the only dishes that were very spicey were the ones we asked to be that way.
