Formal Atmosphere, Good Food
We met up with a friend at the Bombay Palace; it was on his recommendation that we ate here.

The service was impeccable, almost to the point of being too formal, but still quite friendly. We ordered a selection of items, including the Assorted Platter appetizer. Everything was tasty and well-prepared; the level of spiciness was just right for us.

The wine list was small, but fitting. I found a bargain Alsace Gewürztraminer that was delicious, and a perfect foil for the food.

For what is being offered at this restaurant, the dining experience was well-priced. I felt that we were getting a good value.    [28 Apr 2003 21:04:14]

A truly amazing experience and atmosphere
We have been to Bombay Palace about 3 times in the last month for lunch. Everybody at my work loved their food so more of us decieded to give it a try. We have not been disappointed. The service was attentive and food was served promptly so we all could easily eat and get back to the office within 45 minutes. I especially liked the "vegetable jalfrezie" and "pudina paratha." I would skip the desserts but after being served such big portions...it does not feel like a big loss. A few co-workers tried their "executive lunch entrees" and liked it a lot.    [27 Dec 2003 18:40:48]

Saag and Vindaloo below average
The service and ambiance were what I'd expect from a luxurious downtown restaurant. Service was extremely prompt during the dinner hour (about 6pm on a Tuesday). The prices were also reasonable, but that's what lured me in for what turned out to be disappointing flavors. I've had better food in Colorado. The saag paneer was a little oily. It tasted fresh, but I like mine creamier. The vindaloo chicken was bland (I didn't request extra hot, not that they asked.) The garlic nan, however, was delicious -- warm, fluffy, and flavorful. It's been several years since I've dined in D.C. This is the first time I have chosen to exclude sales tax when calculating my tip. Who wants to top on 10% sales tax anyway?    [17 Jan 2006 19:28:24]
