Reviews for Bombay Dhabba Malvern in Malvern, PA
I wanted to try chaat from a long time and when I searched for option near my house this was the first option I got. I read the... reviews that this place had good chaat so I though of giving it a try and I loved it. I tried aloo paapdi chaat, samosa chaat,pani puri, vada pan and mango lassi. Papdi chaat was really good. Samosa chaat was probably with the best taste I have had inthe US. Pani puri was average, we ordered a medium spicy but the spicy chutney given with pani puri tasted a lot like chaatmasala we asked them to give extra sweet chutney(tamarind) they readily gave us one and it did enhance the taste. Vada pav wastoo good. It had garlic chutney inside and it felt like I was eating that vada pav in Mumbai. Mango lassi was good too. Theservice is very quick and people working there are very polite and really nice. They even allowed my pet inside and I am reallythankful for that. Few things to remember. They have self service. Once you enter you?ll see a monitor, you would have to orderfood on it and pick it up. If you order for cold beverages there is a fridge beside the PC setup just take whatever you haveordered for. I would really love to try other food items here. Read more
The food was ready on time and it tasted good. I loved the chicken roll and Gobi Manchurian. Enough and more quantity for the... price. The samosa chat was filled with too much of chickpeas ?? otherwise everything was fine. Read more
You place your own order on a touch screen, but they don't have any paper menus to look at prior to placing your order so unless... you are familiar with Indian food, it is difficult to choose what you want to order. Each item does have a description on thescreen but only after you add it to your order. Other than the ordering process, the chicken briyani rice was flavorful andoverall delicious!!!! I also ordered the garlic naan, which was also very good. They serve it in a "to go" container even if youselect to stay and eat it. Their canned sodas were $1.99 which is a bit expensive in my opinion. I was so glad I had my waterbottle in the car. I think they need a better exhaust fan as it did get a bit smoky in the restaurant at one point. Overall, Iwould go back as the food was worth the price but I'll spend more time reading the menu ahead of time and research the mealsthat I'm less familiar with so I can order more efficiently. If I didn't live so far away, I'd probably take the food home toenjoy it rather than eat in the restaurant. Read more
Food was horrible. We ordered Chicken biryani and it doesn't taste as an biryani it's just a masala rice mixed with few pieces... of chicken in it... Just waste of money. We also ordered Veg Manchurian. I don't have any words to explain it how was it...Because I don't think it's a veg Manchurian. Sorry for reviewing such We are so disappointed by this order. Last time we orderedfood and that's amazing I loved the food at that time... For that reason I gave 2 stars... Read more
Great food. The spiciness was great and very flavorful. Very Indian vibe in the place. The place was crowded. The vada pav is... nostalgic and best I had in US so far. Paneer dishes were also great. The paneer wrap was not as spicy as masala kitchen butstill very flavorful. The only bad thing I saw is the time to get an order out is pretty long. They won?t look busy but they geta lot of online order. I believe the best way is to order ahead on call or their website at least 30 min prior to your visit. Read more
Probably the best go to place in a 25mi radius. Delicious food, very courteous staff and well maintained place. Not too pricey... and good portion size. Don't miss out on the great Indian experience!! Read more
Came out of the blue and was very pleasantly surprised. Very good, fast, and high quality food. The owners were very friendly... and attentive. Greeted us, helped with the menu which was conveniently a screen with card reader, and pictures of the menu,asked if we needed anything else during our meal and said a friendly goodbye. Meals come in portions which can be taken to go.Atmosphere was calm and quiet. Big parking lot as well, will definitely come back! Read more
Most of the food I tried was not what I was expecting based on how much the reviews hyped up the place. The ambience is below... par and hospitality is not good. Food: *Samosa chat (spicy & medium). We ordered two. One was spicy and the other was medium.There was no difference between the two dishes. ???? * Pani Puri: Mediocre * Veg thali: Quite oily. Not worth it. * Mango lassi:5/5. The only dish I enjoyed here. * Wait time: It was glaringly obvious that they were only attentive to past customers. After10 mins after we ordered and were waiting, someone came in and ordered takeout. They left for 15 mins, came back and got theirorder before we did. We hadn't even been called for one entree at this point. Most of the negatives here are pointing toimproper communication from the employees. It's not that hard to greet and speak to your customers. Ambience: 2/5 *The tableswere unclean. We had to get tissues and clean the area ourselves. I wouldn't have minded if not for the fact that the restaurantemployees pretty much ignored us until we went up to them and asked about the food. You can makeup for a lot of negatives withhospitality which was not the case here. Unfortunately, my first visit to this restaurant might end up being the last. * Therewas a smell inside throughout our dining experience which made it difficult to sit through the meal. * The floors were dirty andhad food spilt in places. I'm pretty disappointed with my experience and hope they improve if I ever brave it enough foranother visit. Read more
