I love this place. My favorite is the small buffet bar which changes everyday. The food is very tasty, no extremes. I have never been disappointed with the dishes or the fresh baked naan available. Mumbai Bistro also utilizes a very good online ordering service I use when I need to order in advance and pick up when I get off work with no wait. Great spot.
Positives: Very cheap if you get the buffet (priced $5.25/lb.; Can be take out too!) , very quick if you get the buffet, fresh made a la carte options as well, staff is helpful if you need help deciding what to get.
Negatives: can be hard to find seating sometimes at lunch time (though always seating throughout rest of day); definitely not the most outstanding Indian food, but it's definitely not bad and well worth the price for people on a budget
The food here is really good and a great price! But make sure you know exactly what you want or you have a few extra bucks cash because there is a $10 limit on cards if you wanted to try something else after you order. Order maybe that's just me being too excited to try more after getting my food. Oh and nothing was too spicy. It's dulled down for us Americans .
Taste is amazing! Well labeled menu for sensitivities and allergies. Is not really cheap when you look the menu seems like you can get a meal for around 6 dollars but adding the rice is an additional 2:25. What I really didn't like is that they serve you a hot (very hot) delicious meal in a plastic container that I not bpa free.
The gluten free naan is not too good by itself but amazing when mixed with what I had (Mumbai Dal).
The quality of food at this price point is outstanding. $6/lb buffet will give you access to a large selection of curries, and the naan, roti, other and other breads are always warm, soft, and crisp. With great food for a great price, and pretty much no delay in getting your food, Mumbai Bistro is the perfect spot for a quick bite.
Purchasing their samosas for several years, and they get better and fresher. Sometimes the taste may not be consistent (depends who's the cook), but if you don't mind more spicy, then it's OK. Love their tamarind chutney! Always nice customer service whether in-house or home delivery.
They have a rotating, ready-to-take freshly cooked buffet of different items each day of the week. Closed Mondays. Food is not organic but slow cooked and has a home-made taste. Very consistent quality and staff that has not changed at all since they opened a few years ago. They take care of the street and neighborhood and take all trash away nightly
I had the buffet, which was delicious with the addition of their homemade hot sauce. I love that everything is clearly labeled as vegan or gluten free. Amazing value for the money, a great quick and affordable lunch spot.
I love the food here, and usually come for the convenience of the buffet. Food is always fresh, and super clean restaurant. Garlic naan bread is delicious. Quick, and amazing Indian food, thank you Mumbai Bistro!
Fresh, authentic Indian food buffet with vegan options, sold by the pound. Best for takeaway but they do have a (very) few tables. Definitely recommended!
