Reviews for Bombay Cafe in Fairfax, VA
I can?t believe they charge $24 (on Postmates) for the tiny container of butter chicken on the left. It tastes great, but is... certainly not worth the price. Also, the $17 kadhi pakora had 5 pieces of pakora - are you kidding me?? Read more
Food was good. Price was good. Place was unpretentious. But they produce a lot of waste with plastic spoons, paper plates and... styrofoam bowls. I suggested they seek a more environmentally friendly alternative (recycled or made from vegetable matter) butthe guy didn?t seem to care much. There?s no reason to use styrofoam these days.

Disgusting Restaurant fly all over the Sweets. Sweets are not covered. People are putting their bare hands to taste the Sweets.... Totally disappointed and unhygienic. This restaurant I always give 2nd chance but regret, charged me $10 for 7 pieces of Pakorayand charged me extra for chutney. The quality of food is theu use old oil to to fry the pakoray the pakora was high in salt andfull of oil and smell of old oli... if I complain them they seem to listen but dont care.. never going back, worst restaurant.

We dropped in for a quick lunch. We are not super knowledgeable about Indian cuisine. The shop had a section of Sweets, an area... to order "plates" and a small seating area. The plates section was like hot buffet bar. We wanted tandoori chicken but ended upwith chickpeas and lentils over rice with a small tapioca-like dessert. The food was very tasty. Midway thru the meal a cookcame over and, sensing our lack of familiarity, told us what we should have ordered and gave it to us. The place was very busy.There were numerous catering orders being picked up. I have no doubt this was not an Indian Michellin 5 star. But the food wasgood and plentiful, the staff was friendly. And the place was clean. We both left feeling stuffed for about $20.I would be happyto go back. Read more
Update - prices have increased but service and quality are still great. Great food, great service (fast and efficient), good... prices, and tons of Diwali sweets! Goat biryani is great (sometimes it's bony, meh), fish curry is also great. Everything elseis good so you'll need to find your preferred dishes. Enjoy! Read more
Over all the hygiene of this place isn?t good. Sticky tables. Few people coming in and out of kitchen and not wearing masks.... Aloo paratha with makhan are really really good. So is bhel puri chaat. Samosas is average. Read more

Buffet style restaurant with food constantly being put out and they serve the dishes. The food was absolutely delicious along... with the naan. Portion sizes are average but filling. The tables could be a little cleaner despite being a very busy location.We spent $12 per plate which provided two dishes, rice, and regular naan. Paid to upgrade to garlic naan. Read more
