Good food at affordable prices. They have good service for orders at takeout and in restaurant. Good ambience and parking space.

A very interesting mix of Persian, Tibetan and Indian dishes. My order of Persian kabobs was almost perfectly cooked. Was really impressed with how much flavor they got from rice that did not have any obvious strong flavor elements. My partners tikka massala was very flavorful and had reasonably ample amounts of meat (an issue some other places we have gotten the dish.. I've had individually better momos and naan from other places that specialized only in that, but they were tasty enough here that they didn't detract from the range of flavors I was experiencing. Lastly, I am not normally someone that cares much about attentiveness of wait staff, but it was so prominent here that I had to note them in this review. The staff were amazing . Overall a great meal.

Seems like one of the most underrated restaurants in the Hartford area. The service was really sweet (they gave my son a toy to play with and brought him a cup of mango lassi on the house) and the food was outstanding. We got the momos, the vegetable lentil soup, and the non-veg thali for two. It was so much food for a great price and a lot of fun to try each dish. If you are up for a variety of things, like chicken Tikka, chana, dal, and vegetable soup, then it's a great choice. I absolutely love Nepalese and Indian, and as a Persian, I appreciate those options on the menu, too. I think Bombay Olive will become a staple in our household.

Bombay Olive is a beautiful space with excellent ambiance. The people are incredibly friendly and worldly. Our food was excellent. We were so fortunate to find this delicious gem while out of our area for an appointment. We will return again! We ordered: Samosa Chaat (described on their extensive menu as: well-cooked vegetable samosa sliced and tossed with yogurt, onions, chickpeas, tamarind sauce, mint sauce, and chaat masala.) Channa Masala (described on their extensive menu as: chickpeas cook in Indian herbs. Masala is known as a royal dish. It is prepared with a tomato based sauce & a refreshing combination of ground onions and a touch of cream.) I asked for no cream. It was delicious. And we ordered basil naan. Theirs is the best naan I have ever tasted. Thank you, chefs and everyone at Bombay Olive.

I've been eating from bombay olive for over a year now. Its my go to spot for indian takeout. My go to is butter chicken, chicken tikka masala with a side of rice, garlic naan and poori. It's absolutely delicious. The service is always great!

"Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay" (Jagger/Richards) I've seen this oddly shaped building with an Indian restaurant forever. I finally made my way in for a meal last night. The first thing you see when you walk in is the remnants of their old buffet table. They were known for their lunchtime buffets, but they're now a thing of the past. The good sized dining room has a tin ceiling, yellow painted walls, and dark brown furniture. As I sat down, a super friendly young guy brought me a complimentary plate of papadum cracker bread with ramekins of onion chutney and tamarind sauce. The tamarind was great, like a thick and sweet Hoisin sauce. Now it was time to check out their daunting five page menu. I wanted to try something different, and the phrase "prepared in the Afghan style" caught my eye. Since never have I ever tried Afghan food, I went with their $16.95 Chicken Balti. Served with Basmati rice, the menu described it as with "peppers, onion and cinnamon". I wasn't familiar with the word "Balti", so I researched it and learned the word means a metal pot from Northern India (near Afghanistan) that cooks the food and is then presented to the table for serving. When I ordered, my young waiter asked if I wanted it spicy, so of course I said yes. In a few minutes out came a bowl of Basmati rice and a Balti pot full of chicken chunks, sliced peppers and onions, in a delicious spicy brown curry. I LOVED my dinner! The curry was delicious, with plenty of the deep flavors I love in Indian food. And yes, it was medium spicy with a nice after-burn. I did think the chicken was a little overcooked, and far from tender. All in all, I loved my dining experience at Bombay. The food and smiling service were excellent.

The food was delicious and the spice level between mild and medium was perfect. My coworkers and I ordered saag paneer, butter chicken, and lamb biryani to share. We also ordered two orders of garlic naan. The amount of food you get in each order was more than enough, and we had leftovers for two of us to take home!

Yummers! First off, this review is specific to a delivery order I received over the weekend. The usual joint where I get delivery from was not yet open (perhaps they're just open for dinner, not sure). Anyway, I felt I needed some chicken tikka masala that day so Bombay Olive was next up to the plate. I think I used GrubHub to order from them but, when the order was delivered they placed a nice little card in the bag telling me that it's cheaper to order directly from the restaurant (can do, will do, in the future). I got an order of mild chicken tikka masala and plain naan. It was pretty dang delicious and filled me up for 3 full meals. The chicken was so plentiful. I swear I got two full breasts in meaty, tasty chunks. Next time I will request a hint spicier than what I received (I was being cautious). Great food, decent pricing, plentiful portion.

Cute restaurant, it isn't that big but the decorations are nice. Mostly booths but a large party came in and several tables were out together for them, making the edge of their table pretty close to our booth, luckily we were almost done. The staff were very friendly. The menu was large so it was very difficult to choose! We got the samosas, which I liked but noticed the dough was a little salty for my taste, my boyfriend didn't even notice lol. I am pretty boring when it comes to my Indian food because I never get to really go out for so I got the baingan bhartha with medium spice, which was def a little spicier than I anticipated (I always get medium) but was very good! The garlic naan was good and my boyfriend said he enjoyed his meatball masala. It is only a few minutes from my boyfriend's house and he goes there often, but I would love to go back!
