Went for the lunch buffet yesterday, and was quite disappointed in the food. The buffet was very modest, just 4 hot items to choose from, and every item was bland and only tasted of salt or butter. I didn't have to worry about eating too much because one plate was more than enough.
On the bright side, the service was very good and the restaurant itself was VERY clean and welcoming. I am hesitant to go back, but if the off-the-menu items are better than the buffet, I MIGHT give it another chance since so many other people have raved about it.
I went here for my birthday dinner with my family. I was looking forward to it since Indian food is what I have grown up on. We were the only family there at 8:30 PM on a Satruday night. We noticed that most of Langley was deserted at this time, so maybe this is just the way Langley is. I was a bit dissapointed with the food. The mild was too mild and the spicy was a bit too spicy. It would have been great to have something in between. There service was OK. Usually, we try to make conversation with the waiter a little bit and with an absolutely empty restaurant you would think he was free to make conversation, but our waiter was a bit standoffish. When taking our order there was a phone call, and despite there being other staff, he went on to answer a 5-6 minute phone call and leave us hanging. I thought the portion sizes were a bit to small for the price and hence the value was not the best. They do have a coupon in the entertainment book 2011, so that made the value a little better. The ambiance was interesting. Nicely painted walls, a bit dark inside with Indian punjabi music playing in the background, but not too loud as it usually is in a lot of Indian restaurants. I probably would not go here again, unless I hear from others about substantial changes in this restaurant.
I've eaten here a few times and it has been outstanding everytime. The lunch buffet is the beat value for lunch in Langley hands down. All You Can Eat Butter Chicken that actually tastes sooo good. Ira just the right amount of cream and tomatoes and it's tender. As for dinner, I always order the same thing and it's good. Butter chicken, Palau paneer, and lamb vindaloo.
The management is very friendly. The dining room is very open so its great for big parties but the tables are spaces out enough that you can still have a private dinner.
I have always wondered where the crowds are when we eat at Bombay Bite. The restaurant is flawlessly perfect in cleanliness and the service is always very good. We were taken in the kitchen to show us how they made certain dishes. They have special clay ovens to cook the tandorri chicken on spears and they also showed us how they bake their naan bread. Everything is steaming hot with wonderful flavor. The luncheon buffet is the best place ever to get the best value and can't be beat for walk in and sit down dining. It makes the perfect spot for a lunch time of thirty minutes before returning to work.
The chicken tikka is amazing and comes on a sizzling platter at your table. Lamb korma and Butter chicken are our family favorites but when we have been more adventurous we have still been very pleased.
Thumbs up for this spot!
Bombay bite has mediocre Indian food, if you want good quality, you need to drive to Surrey! The prices are so-so. I only go there because there is hardly anyt Indian restaraunts in Langley... Too bad because it's a niche they could make a good business out of but I guess since there's not much competition they have lower standards.
I've been to Bombay Bite a multitude of times, and almost always order the same thing: the raita, garlic naam, plain rice, and a panneer dish - either the one with that creamy butter chicken sauce or the dish with panneer, gravy and vegetables...I don't remember what its called but it is good. I never deviate from what I get and am always satisfied, the waiter always brings me a side order of spice, because I LOVE spicy food.
One time I tried the lunch buffet, and I did not find they had that much vegatarian options that particular day, but if one is a meateater (I am a vegetarian), the buffet would look complete/tasty.
The surroundings are large and orange, not particularly cozy, but tastefully designed.
One of these days I'm going to try the samosa's or perhaps a mango lassi, but for now, I'm just going to order the same items I always order.
After going to a catered event by this restaurant I decided to go in and eat. It was not a disappointing experience at all. Some highlights of it were: extreme cleanliness and quality ingredients.
Food: I was by myself, which sucked because I couldn't order alot. But, I ordered Chicken Palak, Garlic Naan, and Piao Rice. All was extremely delicious. The Chicken Palak had boneless, skinless chicken which was way better than some of the hole in the wall places.
Service: Extraordinarily attentive and an overall awesome aura.
Value: Typical
Ambiance: Very nice interior, definitely different than some scumy surrey place (unless you look out the window at the "rendezvous pub").
This is my favorite place to get Indian food.
Bombay Bite has the best Indian food I've ever had. The butter chicken is fantastic. Their naan bread is so delicious. They have so many different options and the hardest part is trying to make a decision on what to order.
The service is great, they've even taken my family into the kitchen to show them how they make the naan bread.
They have the daily lunch buffet and they have so many different options.
The interior decor is very pleasing to the eyes. They've got the big screen tv's on different sports shows so your husband has somewhere to look while you're going on and on about how great the food is. (which you will)
My only pet peeve is that you have to order the rice separately from the dinner dish you order. All in all, it's completely worth it for me, and it's one of my favorite treats!
Now that I've written my review, I think I'm going to have Bombay Bite for dinner!
My husband and I have decided to be more venturous with our eating and try more ethnic restaurants other than chinese food or mexican. So we decided to try this place. We walked into a lovely restautant. On each table are pretty candles and there is nice art work on the walls. There are a few large screen tv's too if you want to watch the game while eating. The service was top notch. Came often to fill our glasses and was very nice. The food was out of this world. There samosa doesn't resemble that greasy stuff you can buy in a sweet shop. It is fresh and not greasy at all. The byrani rice was so good that we now go and order it to bring home for dinner all the time. The curry was great as well. Everything we tried we loved. The Naan bread was perfection. I loved Loved loved this place. We tell everyone to go. It is so worth it. Large portions too. My mouth is watering as I am thinking of it.
I have eaten at this restaurant twice; once for the lunch buffet and once for dinner and both experiences were really good. As well, it has to be one of the cleanest restaurants in Langley with spotless dishes and cutlery.
The lunch buffet was good although when we were there there were only two chicken dishes and no other meat dishes. All the others were vegetarian but all were good.
The dinner choices are good and you can request varying degrees of spice heat for the main courses.
Both of my trips to the Bombay Bite were during our horrible snow weather during Dec. 08 and this restaurant seemed be the only business in the local area that was open and somewhat busy during blizzard type weather. As well they were having takeout customers showing up throughout the time we were there.
The name of the restaurant on the door is simply Bombay Bite.
It's worth a visit.
