I was pleasantly surprised after having dinner at Bombay on the Lake. The food was great. My friend and I had the chicken bryiani, coconut lamb mutter panzer and garlic nana an. The food was tasty and distinct as with some Indian rests tend to use very similar sauce base. Portion size was good and filing. The staff and owners were nice and personable. I look forward to the next time visit

My boyfriend and I had dinner here tonight. We really enjoyed ourselves. The service was very friendly and our server knew exactly what was in everything (very useful since I am vegan). The food was made fresh and he made mine less spicy for me. We shared the vegetarian appetizer platter and for our mains I had the vegetarian curry dish with okra (bhindi masala) and my boyfriend had chicken korma kashmiri. We both loved the appetizer platter and it was a very generous serving size, and I really liked my okra dish. My boyfriend liked his dish, but not as much as the appetizers or some other Indian chicken dishes he's had. They brought a complimentary serving of rice for my boyfriend to eat with the sauce from his dish.
The ambiance is very different than what I would have expected from the sign outside. I really liked it, lots of warm colours and elephant decor. It was kind of dimly lit, as we read in a review before going, but we didn't find it too dark at all.
It really wasn't busy. There was one other couple there when we got there, and a handful of people came in for takeout. We hope they get enough business that they will be able to keep it up, because we would really like to go back! -

I had been curious about this Indian restaurant while passing it repeatedly on our way to our favourite Thai place on the next block. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a disappointment.
Decor tries to be cheerful but except for the porch in the front is rather too dark.
Chicken samosas were interesting, with ground chicken subbing for the potatoes. The main dishes and sides were not all that special. Chicken madras was not spicy enough. Chicken kaddai (I guess we were in a fowl mood) was okay, though nothing to write home about. Raita was too sweet and way too thin for our liking. Rosemary naan had very little flavour of rosemary, and onion kulcha was a small portion with not a lot of filling. Plain rice did not come with cumin seeds or cardamon, as in many Indian restaurants.
If you are in the area and have an absolute craving for Indian food, this place might be okay, but don't make a special trip there. -

Nice place. Lunch menu too restrictive -- not enough opportunity to create custom plate. Aloo gobi was fine. Channa masala had great flavour! Papadums didn't taste fresh and needed more spice.
Despite the very friendly treatment, overall it was just okay. I think I need to go back at dinner to get a proper experience.
