Bombay Mahal Indian Restaurant

Indian food is my favorite for when I’m feeling under the weather. It perks me right up. It’s the use of healing herbs and spices, which is why quality is important. I was impressed with the quality here. I had the butter chicken, naan, and Indian tea. I would have taken more photos but I couldn’t wait to eat! The butter chicken was perfectly flavored and spiced. The texture of the rice was cooked perfectly. As well as the naan. The tea was perfectly sweetened. They deserve a lot more dine-in business than seen on a cold winters Tuesday! The environment is vibrant. There’s a box of Kleenex at every table, which makes so much sense considering you’re coming in from the cold weather and potentially eating spicy food.

I've been so excited to finally have a full service Indian restaurant in Lansing proper + Bombay Mahal did not disappoint! The service was swift + the servers were kind. We ordered: 🍽 Chicken Samosas — Flaky, flavorful + buttery dough (which, to me, was more reminiscent of empanadas than is typical with samosas) filled with well-seasoned minced chicken. The accompanying Tamarind + Mint Chutneys were on point. 🍽 Goat Saag — Tender meat, creamy spinach sauce. 🍽 Garlic Naan — Perfectly baked. I am looking forward to returning to try more dishes!

One of my daughters ordered butter chicken, it was delicious. I ordered the tandoori chicken, which was amazing. I did enjoy dipping my bread into her butter chicken sauce. My son-in-law got a lamb dish which he said was very good and he finished every bit of it. My other daughter got the chicken pakora which were crispy but not over cooked and perfectly seasoned. We also got the naan bread basket, all the bread is good but the onion was my favorite.

It’s so great to have an Indian restaurant on the west side! Bombay Mahal is wonderful. I had the butter chicken and my husband had the chicken vindaloo and both were great! The naan delicious as well. The gentlemen who work there were kind and attentive. Service was quick, portions were generous, and the prices were fair. I am so happy that we can get great Indian food without driving into East Lansing. Run, don’t walk to Bombay Mahal!!

Naan better in Lansing! 😁 The great reviews brought us here, and now we know why. . We had goat Karahi, cooked with tomatoes and southern spices.Goat was tender and no bones, which was welcome. Not spicy, unless you request it. The Saag Panera and Daal Makni were some of the best I've had. The excellent Daal had nice ginger notes to it. The Saag Paneer had a deep, rich flavor (could have used a touch more paneer) Even the rice was flavorful. The garlic naan was outstanding-- very garlicky. Had to stop myself from eating the whole basket! They also have a sampler basket consisting of four different types of bread. Both Northern and Southern cooking are on the big menu, as well as Indo-Chinese. Service was friendly and fast Bombay Mahal is a little off the beaten path but sure worth the tri
