I ordered from Bombay Chow Brasserie for the first time today after reading good reviews, as our usual local Indian takeaway has recently closed and we’re looking for a replacement. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment.
The lamb rogan josh was absolutely drowned in oil and almost inedible. I couldn’t finish it. Worse still, the lamb had a strange smell, as if it wasn’t fresh, which was very off-putting.
The peshwari naan was thick and stodgy, with barely any of the traditional filling you’d expect — hardly any nuts, desiccated coconut, sultanas or raisins. The garlic naan was also very disappointing; it wasn’t garlicky at all. Normally you can smell immediately which naan is which, but there was no garlic aroma whatsoever.
Given this was my first order, I was also surprised that no poppadoms or any small extra were included — something many Indian takeaways do as a goodwill gesture, especially for new customers.
Overall, the quality was far below expectations based on the reviews. Hugely disappointed, and unfortunately not somewhere I would order from again.
