Bombay Street Food 2

I went to Bombay Street Food 2 recently with my wife for a dinner night out. A dinner night out is a little different than date night. It’s always tough trying to find parking on 8th street but we got a good spot on a side street. We started off with the Reggda Patties. I can’t lie, I thought it was going to be similar to a beef patty but to my surprise it wasn’t. This dish was awesome though. It had a lot of flavor and was on the sweeter side. Next we had the Bombay Biryani which was amazing. My only comment was that the dough on the outside of the bowl it was served on was not fully cooked. The dish itself was delicious. We order one more item after under the Indo Chinese section called the Chinese Manchurian. This was probably my favorite dish. This would be a good dish to ear with white rice. Overall enjoyed my experience.

Amazing authentic Indian food! The owner is outstanding very accommodating. He greets you with a warm energy at the door and the experience just gets better from there! The spices are so diverse and can be made mild or extra spicy depending on your taste. Also the Mango Lassi is outstanding. I felt very welcome and the service was great! I continue to order in and takeout and it’s always timely!

Food showed up very quickly, my guess is they prep certain meals ahead of time, as there was not time to actually make it. The Tikka massala was decent, not the best I've had but it was tasty. Garlic Naan was similarly good. Main knock is the wait staff were a little unpleasant to me, like they didn't want me there, which affected my enjoyment of the dinner.

Bombay Street Food #2 in Washington DC has truly mastered the art of Indian cuisine, setting itself apart as a standout in the realm of flavors. While I've savored exceptional Indian fare along the west coast, Bombay Street Food #2 unquestionably takes the crown. Arriving at the opening hour, we were among the first patrons to grace the upscale ambiance. The restaurant exudes sophistication through its decor, creating an impression of fine dining from the moment you step in. Tables were elegantly set, cloth napkins meticulously folded like crowns, setting the stage for a memorable experience. Embarking on my litmus test, I ordered the Samosas to gauge the culinary prowess. The execution was mind-blowing. The chutneys, meticulously crafted, lent a divine touch to the perfectly fried golden samosas. Their exceptional spice usage hinted at a personalized garam masala blend, elevating these samosas far beyond my past experiences. The filling was a revelation, usurping all my prior encounters on the west coast. It's safe to say that after indulging in these perfect specimens, other samosas will definitely pale in comparison. Moving on to the main courses, we selected Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala—one normal and one extra spicy—and Garlic Naan. Bombay Street Food #2's mastery in spice manipulation shone through again, showcasing their unreserved use of flavors. The Tandoori meat was an epitome of perfection—moist, tender, and bursting with succulence. Even the accompanying veggies were artistically presented, adding a delightful visual and flavorful dimension to the dish. The Chicken Tikka Masala mirrored this excellence, with tender chicken chunks submerged in a perfectly spiced, creamy sauce. The extra spicy variant was an absolute gem. Not to be forgotten, the mango lassi, a traditional Indian yogurt-based drink, was skillfully executed. The saffron-infused basmati rice was a testament to culinary dedication, enhancing the overall ensemble. The table service mirrored the food’s excellence—impeccable. Our waiter, a paragon of attentiveness, ensured our water glasses remained perpetually filled. His discreet presence showcased the epitome of service, answering our queries with poise, even accommodating a vegan guest. His seamless yet unintrusive service deserves commendation. The unexpected family-style lunch was a welcome surprise. We left with content hearts and leftovers, a testament to the generous portions. This experience stands among the finest I've encountered in years. While I can't vouch for their other locations, if they even replicate half of the excellence achieved by #2, they'd still outshine competitors. For those in DC, this is more than a restaurant—it’s a culinary haven. It’s a place to relish air-conditioned comfort, an exemplary dining affair, and an unforgettable gastronomic escapade. A visit to Bombay Street Food #2 is an encounter with indulgence at its finest, leaving taste buds in euphoria.

If you are visiting this place then surely try their Bombay Thali. It was perfect for 2 people. We loved everything about thali. We also ordered gobhi Manchurian which was not that good. It was way too sweet for us. Also, they have 3 branches. You can visit any one of them and menu is same. Will recommend this place to our friends for thali.

Visited Bombay street food a couple of times and tried their Bhel puri,Kheema Pav,Vada pav,vegetable biryani and saag paneer with naan. I would say the food tastes good but there is no consistency to the flavour. In my experience the vada pav tasted very different the two times I tried it,one time it was delicious and the other it tasted like a store brought frozen food heated before serving. Other than this I have no complaints about the food quantity,taste,pricing or service. Hoping for more consistency from BSF in the future.

Good Indian food with a distinct flavor. Had the gobi manchurian that has a twist where the gobi was crispy and sauced well. Had kheema pav that was tasty. The biryani was yummy at its own level not to compared with other biryani's. The kids loved it and keep talking about coming back to cut their dum biryanis that is covered with a dough. This is one of our favorite places. The food is tasty and more of a fusion to suit the american pallete.
