Bombay Blue Indian Bistro

Just had dinner at Bombay Blue and wow, the food was so good! You can tell the chef really knows what he’s doing like he has a master’s degree in cooking or something. Every dish was perfect. Paresh recommended the best food for us and he was absolutely right. Everything he suggested was amazing and exactly what we needed. The ambience was beautiful, no words can describe how nice it looked. The whole place just felt special. Really loved everything about this place

The entire experience was 5 stars! We were immediately greeted, given a beautiful table and water was on our table in under 5 minutes. The level of customer service here was impeccable to say the least. Our server was also the main host and he was funny and really nice. He was very attentive as well. The room was modern with very detailed mosaic chandeliers, plus an entire mural on the wall that was painted by an artist and the other side of the dining room was the gallery of even more interesting paintings of icons. As an artist, this made me happy and was unexpected! The food was freshly prepared, we took our time to enjoy and eat and the experience was amazing.

Over the years we have been to most of the Indian restaurants in oak tree road but this hands down was THE WORST experience for us taste wise, even when you don’t consider their ridiculous prices. We tried their popular indo-Chinese dishes and chicken sizzler. Chicken sizzler was extremely oily and bland , forget marination there was no salt. Manchurian and noodles were super bland and spicy. Even if my review helps a single person to avoid this then my job is done.

“Nice, ambient place with great food. We had the spicy Vegetable and Chicken Biryani—both were flavorful, aromatic, and met our expectations. Definitely worth a visit!”

My girlfriend and I had an amazing dinner at Bombay Blue. I ordered the Shahi Paneer, and she had the Chicken Tikka Masala. Everything was absolutely delicious! The paneer was incredibly soft and flavorful, and the chicken was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Highly recommended if you're craving authentic Indian cuisine! We'll definitely be back soon!

Great service waiters are very attentive and explain the menu. Food was fresh and delicious! I travel from Philadelphia to eat here and it’s worth the trip every time !

Food was great my cousin loved the samosas get the masala soda and the vada pow.

Do Not Be Afraid To Come To This Establishment if you do not understand the menu- I told the host my food restrictions, no dairy, or eggs, and HONEY! What they brought out hit all the spots, the food was delicious, service was outstanding, establishment was beautiful, even the bathroom was nice and smelled really good, and they were so attentive!

Pros: - Good quality food and decent portion sizes (mostly) - Ambiance is modern and excellent for dining out or a quick lunch with family or friends - Acceptable service Cons: - Significantly more expensive than other Indian restaurants in the area (and while their quality is on average higher, only a handful of menu items stand out) - They automatically add gratuity to the bill Some of their menu items I tried: Tadka Chicken (5/5): An excellently spiced, crispy fried chicken appetizer with a great portion size. A must try in my opinion. Goan Fish Curry (4.5/5): Excellent mild curry with a savory taste (great to soak up with naan) and the fish is soft and not too fishy in taste at all. Goat Biriyani (5/5): So far, the best biryani I've had in Edison with perhaps the exception of Hyd Bawarchi in Flavor Junction. I personally prefer this one due to the richness of the masala used and the plentiful amount of goat, but Hyd Bawarchi is a more affordable and is very good as well. Chicken Kali Mirch (4/5): Good, spicy chicken curry, but nothing special. Homestyle Chicken Curry (3.5/5): Medium-spice chicken curry with decent flavor, but was a bit too salty at least when I tried it. Garlic Naan (4/5): Decent Naan but could be bigger in size. Blue Lemonade (3/5): A fizzy, lemonade with blue food coloring, think Sprite. Looks cool and it is refreshing, but it is nothing special and not really worth what they are charging for it.

I really liked this place! We got here right as it opened at 1130 so it was empty but great food. Service was really quick, we were in and out in about an hour and a half. It's decorated beautifully - love the lights. I was a fan of the gobi manchurian and the schezuan fried rice. Definitely recommend getting curries with gravy!

Solid Indian option. We were in the area and found this place on yelp. It was quite busy on a Saturday night. It's a busy spot but is fairly big so we were seated with no wait. Food came out quickly. Everything was tasty although a little on the salty side. My favorites were: -gobi Manchurian. First time having this so I don't have a benchmark. It's really flavorful and quite spicy -chicken sizzler plate. Also tasty with a generous amount of chicken Everything was good though. Next time I wont order the chilli garlic noodles because that wasn't as good as the Indian dishes. Service is friendly Only complaint is that the gratuity is auto added to the bill but this is not obvious when you go to sign for the check. That shows the space for tip but does not mention that tip has already been paid. It is intentionally deceitful imo

We would drive the 30 minutes it took us to get here just for the mango lassi. Soooo goood! You can taste the freshness of the food, the fresh ingredients & authenticity. Very colorful & cultural. Nice & clean. They have a party room for bigger parties. Very friendly & attentive staff.

Came here with my family for Diwali dinner, because I heard this was a nice restaurant near Edison. Right away, I really liked the look of the place - it's got really cool, colorful murals all over the walls. I also appreciated the nice large tables as of course my family eats Indian food family style. The food was absolutely fantastic, these guys do all the classic curries right. We had korma chicken, paneer makhani, and palak paneer. The appetizers were also delicious, especially the gobi manchurian, which strikes the right balance of heat and sweet/sour. This place is superb for group dinners and definitely should be visited if you're in the area.

Service was really slow, the table that ordered after us got all their food and we were still waiting. Prices are also really high - it was $7 for a mango lassi! Overall, food was just OK. I've had better, and I was disappointed since this was in Edison, which is a hub for Indian food.

I'm still on my quest to find the best Indian food in Edison. This place was average at best. The indochinese food was a bit too much for us. It tasted very basic and average for a mixture of the two. The chicken hot garlic was very spicy compared to the chili chicken gravy. The mango lasso was on point and so was the Chili Cheese Naan which was filled to the brim with cheese. To go, we got the chicken tikka masala. It actually tasted like it was supposed to with the Indian spices. Their traditional Indian food is definitely better than their indochinese food. Service was fast and it was definitely packed for the weekend night.

5 stars for our overall first dining experience at Bombay Blue! We arrived at 6pm and the restaurant was not crowded, although every time we drive by during the later hours of 7-9pm it seems to always have a line outside. Made us curious to try it! Since we were not familiar with alot of Indian dishes and went by pictures here on Yelp, we asked our server for recommendations. Appetizers: *Gal Gappe- puffy crisp hollow shells filled with seasoned chickpeas and potatoes. It comes with a sweet tamarind sauce and a bigger cup of mint water. He showed us how to eat it the proper way "left hand to pick up the puff, add a bit of tamarind sauce, and 2 spoons of refreshing mint water. Eat in one bite!-- not spicy :) *Dahi puri- puff crisp hollow shells filled with seasoned chickpeas and potatoes and then poured with cold yogurt, chutneys, and spices. -- not spicy :) Two different bites for similar apps! Entrees: *butter naan and garlic butter naan- roasted, hearty and plate sized. *butter chicken and basmati rice- cashew based chicken dish with spices-- what a filling meal! Nicely seasoned, creamy and filling. We ordered ours as in and it was not spicy :) *chicken korma- similar to butter chicken but tomato based instead of cashew based. This was a nice piece of info from our server and he recommended this dish instead of the chicken tikka masala as it would be pretty much similar to the Butter Chicken. What a great recommendation. Two chicken dishes. Both scrumptious and offering different tastes! Drinks: *mango shake and mango lassi- generous portion and fresh, tart enough but still sweet. Service was fast and friendly. We felt comfortable ordering and opening up to our server who was glad to be of service and give us more insight on Indian food. Interior was clean, modern, and luminous. Parking lot is their own and it is right beside Edison Automat.

Writing this review after just one visit, but that's how good it was. We came in on a Wednesday night to get our Indian food fix and Bombay Blue did not disappoint. We started with the Gobi Manchurian, which might have been the best I had in my life. It was SO crispy and packed with flavor. My mouth was on fire from how spicy it was but I couldn't stop eating it - soo good! I ordered a Mango Mojito which certainly helped cool my mouth off, lol! It was a great mocktail for this preggo lady and my husband loved it as well! Then we shared the Paneer Makhni and naan - both were absolutely delicious. We ended dinner with the Hazlenut Truffle and Rasmali which were okay, but the highlight of this meal was definitely everything else. The food came out hot and quick, portion sizes were good and the service was prompt. They have an extensive menu and we can't wait to make a trip back here to try more!

Don't be fooled, the blue in Bombay Blue is the same one you see in a gas stove. For all the spice lovers out there, be prepared to get served! Bombay Blue is the rate Indochinese restaurant that does the Chinese better than the Indian. Luckily the cool interior decor makes up for the heat in the food. Spicy Garlic Chili Noodles and Fried Rice were phenomenal. Not your typical "let's just throw soy sauce in there and call it a day", but a complex blend of flavors under all the heat. Loved the Al dente cooked rice and the crunchy bits for a nice combo of textures. Indian food wise, the Goat Biriyani was underwhelming even though it was overachieving. Way too many spices. Lamb Vindaloo was pretty good, quite flavorful and loved the tender potatoes pieces. THE GARLIC NAAN is a must order. So fresh and buttery, this could be the only thing I order and I'd be satisfied. Apps wise, the Papri Chaat was the perfect blend of cool and tangy. The Gobi Manchurian was too salty for my liking. Yes Bombay Blue was cool, and I'll definitely be coming back for more of this lit food. Just be ready with plenty to napkins and extra water because you'll definitely be sweating

I enjoy this restaurant every time I visit. The dining room is nice, comfortable, and spotless. The staff is friendly. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. Portions are generous, usually enough for leftovers. It's a very nice experience every time. After a couple of visits it's like being with friends. The staff is genuinely happy to see you. And you will be happy to see them.

I love this place!!! Although I was only inside for a brief moment to pick up my food, the inside looks super amazing and modern. The decor is neat and looks comfy. The lightning is so gorgeous. My interaction with the owner was super nice and chill.

Pending final star review*** Today was my first time ordering from Bombay Blue based on the good reviews on the food. I initially was interested in a main course chicken tika masla. I also asked for a recommendation for something creamy with sauce as something new which I could try instead. The gentleman recommended Chicken Pindi. The price was $24.00. I said ok. When the order was done, the portion was very small. I clarified with another staff that I thought this would come with rice? He says, this is an appetizer. I said, I didn't order an appetizer. But he said, he'll give me a side of rice free of charge (I felt like I was asking for a favor). I went home, studied their entire menu. No dish on the menu was more than $20, average price was $15. And I am learning that their chicken pindi does not have much sauce, it's looks like 2 tablespoons only. So, I decided to call the restaurant to express my concern if I was overcharged. I spoke to Zain. He heard my concerns. I asked to be reimbursed $8-$10 my credit card because the appetizer was over priced. He says he could not do that. Zain says, I could return and he will not charge for chicken tika masala. Like I expressed to him, that I am exploring Indian food and hope to come back to try other dishes. I was willing to pay $24 for a main course, not for an appetizer. I hate giving bad reviews. See picture

Not that often that you get really authentic Indo-Chinese. Really awesome gobi manchurian and veg Hakka noodles. Also loved the dry and gravy chilli paneer. Also loved their aam panna drink (from my North Indian friends, it's the most authentic Aam panna out there). They do have regular Indian food and chaat as well, we didn't try that. Excellent customer service. Only the veg chilli garlic rice was not that great. Gulab jamun was amazing too. I would definitely go back here in my next visit.

Ordered chicken korma to go today alongwith one more item. My daughter found a wasp in the korma. First I didn't believe it but then after I saw it myself made me nauseating. I am reporting this & never coming back to this restaurant. Have been here couple of times in the past but now never. Have a pic for proof.

Bit disappointed. Was expecting good Punjabi food. First the good things, the Homestyle Mutton curry & Chole-Saag was pretty good. But was pretty appalled with the starters, the Chicken Multani kebabs marinade seemed a bit undercooked & the dish itself was served microwaved, hot inside, cold outside. The Tawa fish was a lightly pan fried fillet of Basa with hardly any spices or marinade, insipid & worst, soggy at the bottom. The place is spacious & good looking, the service up to mark. Not giving up, will try once more.

Solid indian food, the chicken tikka tandoor and butter chicken was great. Service was decent and the place looks nice in the inside. I would recommend coming here for.

Yooooooo this place is so good. The food is tasty, flavorful, well cooked, tender, etc etc! We came around 8pm on a Wednesday and it was poppin. Lots of people and the place was just a good time. It wasn't overwhelming. There was plenty of room. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted immediately, provided with menus immediately and attended to with water...immediately. The food also came out quickly. I like a place that has a well oiled machine -- has a good process! Ready to go. Gratuity was already included on our check (we had 5 people) so just review your checks before you pay! Love it here - great service. Food itself was amazing. Flavorful to say the least. Wasn't skimpy with the shrimps in my korma. Tender meat for the lamb vindaloo. Solid garlic naan. Prob the best Indian food for me in the South Plainfield ish area!

Very authentic Indian food. I never noticed what I want to order because it all looks so good and it is!

This place is okay. We liked the Manchurian, chilly paneer and chicken, chicken 69, manchow soup for appetizers. For main courses, we loved the palak panner, chicken mukhni, and lamb. The garlic naan is fluffy, soft and made just right. Found it a little odd that servers rolled out garbage cans to pick up the trash. Most places take the dishes away and clean in the back.

I feel this place has some of the best indian food in the area. Very fresh, unique and taste amazing. The service is good, I love the chicken tikka masala. Everyone here is super friendly and its very delicious. I would highly recommedn you try this vibe and this food here! You'll love it.

A consistent and delicious traditional meal, every time. Love: - Been here many times and the food is always great - Garlic Naan and Vegetable Pakora are my favorites here - Amazingly fast service Like: - A plethora of traditional dish options makes it so you never have the same meal twice if you're a returning customer - Large parking lot

Everything we got was amazing. Goat sukkha and fish fry were exceptional. Service was also great. Food came out very fast.

My wife and I travelled to Bombay Blue from Brooklyn because we saw so many good reviews for this place. Honestly the food here is very good but what is killing them in this review is the lack of service. Granted the place was packed when we arrived, but we sat down, placed the order for our food and then we were forgotten. The appetizer arrived in a timely manner, but after that we sat at our table for about 45-50 min, before we received our main dishes. Customers were arriving well after us, ordering their food, eating, paying their bills and leaving before us. Had we not made several complaints, we probably never would've received our food. By the time we received our food, it was 9:53pm and this place closes at 10pm. We ended up taking our food home.

If you're a fan of Indian food or even if you're not you have got to check out @bombayblueusa The food was absolutely perfect. We started with a chicken tikka sizzler which was piping hot when brought over. The seasoning was perfect. For the main course we selected the chicken tikka masala (yes I was feeling basic) but they really outdid themselves with this dish. The spice was perfect although I was definitely tearing as I took those last few bites. My link for the reel I've created: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfUSWxAOyPg/?igshid=NDBlY2NjN2I= Customer service was great. I am definitely coming back here again! I rate this a 10/10 experience.

We have been here several times and each time the food is exceptional. The service is excellent. Ambiance is casual with a touch of class. By far the best Indian food around.

Food quality and service are on down hill Used to be very authentic and tasteful Not anymore

Inviting small restaurant at one end of Edison Oak Tree Road. It has minimalist clean simple decor with easy to follow menu. Weekend lunch experience, menu has elaborate mix of Indian and Chinese items. Tried the indo-chinese manchurian sizzler, that has govi, paneer and manchurian balls, along with veg hakka noodles and chilli garlic noodles. Taste was there but lot of food color and bit oily side. Also tried kali mirch chicken, which was spicy and well made. Again nothing special from typical Indian restaurant, and a 4-star rating but 1 star taken for excessive food color. Yes 18% gratuity already added for party of 5, and expects to give more tip based on how check is presented, another reason for low star rating.

One of the best authentic Indian restaurants with amazing food and service. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with choosing what to get. I usually get stomach aches after having Indian food but none of my friends and I had any stomach issues afterwards which was a plus! This place is also very clean and have some boppin tunes playing, making it quite the enjoyable dining experience. FYI they charged 18% gratuity which wasn't expected since we were there for lunch with only 4 people. Wish there could've been a notice on their menu or something but glad we checked before tipping even more.

Pretty good food in a nice location on Oak Tree. I came in a group and we ended up lingering for 3 hours. Grateful to the staff for letting us stick around! The food itself was pretty good. I ordered the paneer 69 and it was made really well. For the price though I was hoping the portion would be a little larger (or at least come with naan). A good place to visit for the vibes but if you're trying to get bang for your buck, there are better options in the area

Literally a hidden gem in Edison! This restaurant is on the opposite side of the famous Oak Tree Rd spots but so glad we stopped here for lunch! We came in for a quick bite so mostly got chaat items and appetizers and I cannot believe how good every single dish was! In chaats, we got bhel, papri chaat, and samosa chaat. All had so much flavor and spiciness to it (except for the papri chaat which did contain a lot of yogurt). We also got Gobi Manchurian and this was THE BEST Gobi Manchurian I've ever add (and we order Gobi Manchurian at almost every restaurant). The noodles were honestly okay, they were a bit thicker compared to other places. If that wasn't enough, our dishes came out in 5 minutes after we placed the order! That has to be some type of record! Their quantities are a bit less compared to the prices we paid but overall, I cannot recommend this place enough, you must go!

Best South Asian food in the area. Traditional dishes are really well executed and the menu includes creative additions. The appetizers are varied, fresh and delicious. The meat dishes are tender and moist. The staff is friendly, efficient helpful and attentive. Plates are delivered quickly and accurately. The management is welcoming. The decor is modern but welcoming with traditional touches. We've always admired the ceiling lamps.

Ambiance - nicely done up with some murals and paintings Service - top notch & attentive Food - This is where in my opinion could be improved. Appetizers - ordered chicken kababs - bit on the dry side Biryani - ordered the goat biryani - disappointed due to the fact there were bone pieces with no meat on it. Seriously ? Don't skimp on the meat. Portion size was "okay" Prices - on the high side compared to other restaurants. Not much to write home about. Have experienced better in other establishments. Hope the owner/manager reads the reviews so they can improve on what their patrons have written

I was in the mood for Indian food for lunch and decided to order. I ordered my meal online and I ordered the hakka noodles with vegetables. It came to a little over $13. When I arrived I parked in the plaza parking lot. I walked in and the spot was very cute and they were a bit busy for the lunch rush. I was greeted and I told the server my name. He handed me my food and I left. When I got home I dug in and the meal was really good. The noodles had just enough vegetables and seasoning. I would definitely return for more.

Definitely recommend for the butter chicken. The service was good. The person who brought us food was very nice to us and we chatted abt his chef experience. We got a big portion for the price. Pet friendly Ambiance outdoor seating ok.

I was recommended to try out this restaurant. Me and two of my friends had decided to visit this place. As soon we entered I mentioned to my friend, do you experience a smell. He said it was the cleaning agent to sanitize the place. Anyway, ignoring that aside we ordered tandoori shrimp, gobi manchurian, kadai chicken, fish garlic, veg Hakka noodles and garlic naan to be washed down with lassi and nimbu soda. Not sure if that's how it is prepared, the gobi Manchurian was extra salty. When pointed out to the waiter, we were lectured that it is supposed to be like that because of the soya sauce and other spices. The kadai chicken was extra spicy. I requested for chopsticks for the noodles and was brushed off by the waiter that this is a fast food place and not fine dining. The only redeeming feature in our meal was the fish garlic and to some extent the tandoori shrimp. Surprisingly, even after being overpriced they acknowledge themselves as a fast food outlet. Not sure if it's worth a revisit!!

Indian food but not what your typically expect on oak tree road. It's dishes pack more of a flavorful punch, it's ambiance is slightly more upscale and sophisticated, and most notably is the management - 2 gentlemen that run the operation are always at the front of the house and you can see the pride they take in their operation. Enough about that the main thing is they serve amazing food and it's byob. Highly recommend any sizzler they have and the paneer 69 are a must! One app, one entree and naan will set you back ~$45 bucks.

First time trying Indian food and it couldn't disappoint. So sad I got so full fast but definitely worth the try! Got the butter chicken and the tikki masala. Service was pretty fast, it was very packed and overall a great environment. I'd definitely come back again.

Thank you Bombay Blue for the consistent excellent service and delicious food. We always enjoy eating at your restaurant. First time trying the lamb chops and they were fantastic.

Excellent food. Great customer service by Naveeth. Cleanly place. Great variety of food options. Well priced. Highly recommend!

Came in for dinner. Ordered some of the popular dishes to avoid being disappointed. Nothing stood out as amazing nor did anything taste horrible. Good place to visit for a take out night. Non-alcoholic drinks were unique and fun.

Very nice ambience and good service, great staff , there is a South Indian superstar working, nice memory

Delicious and authentic Indian food!!! It's our spot to go when we are craving Indian food. Vibe and service is great as well.

Food at this place is always amazing. Not matter what dish you try, it's always good. Staff is friendly and super attentive. Here are my favorite dishes: 1. Gobi (Cauliflower) Manchurian Dry 2. Tandoori Chicken Sizzler 3. Lamb Baryani - It's on the Spicy side 4. Dry Chicken Poppers (Served on Newspapers) 5. Mango Desert - Real Mango with the skin

We celebrated our son's birthday yesterday and it was our second time here. Our first visit was amazing last year but this time it was horrible. The appetizers were fine but I agree with other customer's reviews that the entrees were very salty. The service was super slow and the waiter was no where to be found. The worst part of the whole dinner was the attitude of the manager in the front. We ordered a meat entree which was incorrect and he kept arguing with us and wouldn't take it back. He was rude and unprofessional. So sad to give a bad review to a restaurant that has so much potential because of one bad employee. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Visiting from out of state and came here just because of the glowing reviews! It was packed even at 3, so reserve ahead of time! Loved it here and will come back and visit soon!! Mango Lassi - had a fresh mango taste and wasn't too sweet, it was really good! Masala Lassi - was fantastic, so authentic with a good consistency Fresh Lima Soda - Phenomenal!! I genuinely loved loved this drink, 10/10 recommend Chili Paneer was spiced well but was not "spicy," so that's a plus!! slightly smaller portion size but keep in mind it's an appetizer. Shahi Paneer - this was awesome! Not too sweet, not too spicy. The actual curry had a nice Taste to it and was topped off with peanuts and shredded paneer Chicken Kadai - Read a positive review so we ordered it! Definitely lived up to its hype - slightly on the spicier side for those who like. The dish comes with rice and we ordered naan on the side. Recommend the bullet naan - that was spiced and really good! Food quality - 5/5 Hospitality & Service - 5/5 Portion Size - 5/5 Ambience - 5/5

Horrible food! everything was super salty, the lotus stem was under cooked while the butter chicken was sweet! chicken kali mirch don't even know what to say it had no flavor at all. still recovering from food poisoning from eating here. while everyone else in my group has stomach ache

This was so good. I was left speechless. The paneer 69 was heavenly. I was worried it would be too spicy but it was good on medium scale. The Dahi poori was cooling and refreshing contrast to the spicy paneer. Hakka noodles and gobi manchurian were amazing! Next on my list is the chili garlic noodles . I can't wait to come back !!!

The best Indian restaurant on Oak Tree Road, Iselin/Edison area. There are numerous restaurants on this street, but Bombay Blue Indian Bistro exceptionally surpasses them all. Initially, I thought the menu was limited, but after visiting the restaurant several times per month, I realized this is more than perfect. I ordered the veg Manchurian (dry) and chili paneer (dry) as my appetizer. Both of the dishes were delicious. The Manchurian and paneer were crispy and tossed in the spicy sauce. The bell peppers and onions are also nice and tasty. For the main course, I ordered the paneer bhurji and shahi paneer with butter naan. The rice is complimentary. The shahi paneer gravy is creamy and thick. As soon as I dip the naan, the curry instantly coats the naan, instead of dripping down. The paneer bhurji is my personal favorite and I usually order it extra spicy. In the past, I ordered the Manchurian sizzler that comes with an assortment of vegetables, paneer, and gobi (cauliflower). It is served on a hot metal plate and comes to your table sizzling, spraying all its juices on the table. It is best eaten off the plate with their chili garlic noodles. Forget Rasoi and other typical restaurants you usually visit. Instead, come here and taste the authentic flavors of India. The restaurant is Bollywood themed and encompasses some unique decorations.
