A nice Indian restaurant. The food was tasty and the perfect quantity. We also received warm cleansing napkins and small chocolates on exit. The staff were really kind and efficient on the weekday that we came. However, the food was quite expensive for two people (~£50).

Nice restaurant with great customer service and homely food! We stumbled upon Rahul Indian Restaurant while overwhelmed by dining options. It’s located next to a busier Indian spot, but we opted for the quieter choice. Service was excellent. A waiter warmly greeted us as we hesitated at the entrance and helped us settle in. We moved from outside to inside seating without issue. While we felt welcome, the new table lacked basic items like napkins, which would’ve improved the experience. We dined in and ordered takeaway. I had calamari to start - tasty with a spiced dip and small salad, though the portion was small. The lamb biryani was excellent, with generous, well-seasoned meat and balanced spices. The takeaway mixed grill platter was underwhelming decent flavour but lacking in quantity as it is meant for two people. Average pricing which is consolidated by the friendly service and quality food.

Absolutely delicious Indian food with authentic flavors! We had a great experience dining here. The grilled tandoori chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, served sizzling hot on a skillet. The colorful salad added a refreshing contrast to the heavier dishes, and the rice was fluffy and fragrant with just the right hint of spice. Portions were generous, presentation was lovely, and everything tasted freshly made. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Indian comfort food in London

We recently hosted our daughters engagement party at RAHUL Marylebone, and honestly, it was perfect from start to finish. The venue is beautiful, the food outstanding from the starters, curries and platters, perfectly presented and flavourful. Great selection of drinks too. Just wanted to say huge thank you to the team at Rahul for making my daughters engagement memorable and for going the extra mile. We hired the venue and all our guests were very impressed by the venue, food and the professionalism of the staff. Highly recommend and we will be back for the food! Thank you again!

We went to Rahul for dinner and ordered butter chicken, lamb Rogan, chicken biryani, cheese naan, and aloo gobi. All the dishes were delicious with deep flavours and a nice size. The waiter was very attentive and helpful. It was nice and quiet, no loud background noise or music. A lovely experience with Indian cuisine.

Came across Bombay Spice when searching for a curry house near to Marylebone following a day out in the capital. Having visited a nearby spot previously and being disappointed I was keen to try Bombay Spice. Boy am I glad I did. The staff were warm and welcoming upon arrival and kindly made up our table as we were a larger group. They swiftly took our drinks order and asked if we wanted poppadoms to start - of course we did! The beers were cold (although sadly not on draught) and poppadoms fresh. The accompanying sauces were generous and the mango chutney was thick, and not runny like some I have had elsewhere. As for the food, we had a selection of curries and rices which were all delicious, with the sauces being thick and with no visible layer of oil as I have experienced in other curry houses. The rice also packed flavour too. I had the mixed grill which came out a few minutes after the curries but was sizzling on the skillet - the waiter apologised for the wait which I did not mind and understood. The portion was generous and meat and fish succulent. I really enjoyed this. I also had a paratha which is tricky to get right, but the chef nailed it here. It was flaky and buttery and oozing with flavour! I really enjoyed my visit to Bombay spice and will definitely be back again when next in London!

I wish I took pictures of the food, but all I can say is that we cleared our plates! We ordered papadoms with the chutney tray, chicken samosas, butter chicken with garlic naan and lamb madras with plain naan and boiled rice. We will definitely get the curries again! They’re currently having a special where you can get a free draft pint of Cobra Beer. I wouldn’t get the chilli mango cocktail again — it’s from a can. Great service!

Ate lunch here. Service was great. We ordered Dal Tadka, Mix Veg & Paneer Makhani. Paneer Makhni was bit on sweeter side, but the server gave complimentary pickles. Best was the next veg did Good place to try Indian food

I wish I could give it raving reviews because they do provide a great service. Unfortunately, the 3-course meal that I ordered was way too hot! I asked the server for vegetarian options that are not too spicy. He said he would make a 3-course vegetarian meal, especially for me. I was the only one in the restaurant on a rainy day, so I had the whole place to myself. The ambiance was chill, and they provided a great service. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the meal because the level of spiciness was at 10. I should have said 0 to 1. I get acid reflux, and heartburn so I really shouldn't be eating spicy food. Not the restaurant's fault, but I should have been more specific.

Food was not flavorful at all, every dish was sugary sweet. Have never had Indian food that is so sweet. The manager had no idea about their own dishes on menu. Didn't even serve water to anyone until I asked. Very disappointing experience overall.

The nan-bread was not made at the restaurant and not good. The sweet lassie far too sweet, the dish oily and lacking sauce. Also I got stomach issues as soon as I got home. The staff was nice and the location good - but do not eat here - there are many nice Indian places in London and I was very unlucky to pick this one.

Just had the most delicious dinner at Bombay Spice on Paddington Street. The lamb dhansak, chicken tikka masala, saag, chana masala, coconut rice and peshwari nan were all superb. The spices were beautifully balanced and the nan was light and full of flavour. The service was excellent and we will certainly be back.

Okay this place is so gross- the food smelled like old oil. There channa smelled so we didn't even eat it. How has it survived- in the world of amazing indian food here in london, I'm shocked this place has not shut down.

Awful food, cold, tough lamb. Terrible experience. Kitchen doesn't open til 6pm yet taking orders on Deliveroo 1 hour before they actually open but advertising 20 min delivery. Took over an hour - when calling the person on the phone was rude and dismissed me like I had no right to query the delay. They are deliberately taking orders well before they can actually fulfil them - so they are deliberately misleading and lying to customers. I dread to think what they do with the food if they are willing to deliberately mislead customers in this way.

So, during my first two full nights in London I had take-away from two Indian restaurants that are literally right next door to each other and half-a-block from my place. I figure I should make them two of my first reviews, and might as well knock it out in a two-fer review. Here we go. The two places are The Rajadoot, with the prime corner position, weighing in at 3.5 stars on 2 reviews, and Bombay Spice coming in with 4.5 stars on a hefty 4 reviews. In short -- they both serve fine food, but so far I don't see what all the "London has the best Indian food in the world!!!111one!" fuss is about. With a one-full-star lead, and twice the review count, Bombay Spice easily won my business the first night. I was at first put off by the white table clothes, but upon further observation of the city I have determined that there must be a law here that requires all Indian restaurants have white table clothes. Once inside the feeling was relaxed, not pretentious, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. At Bombay Spice I decided to go with the tried and true Butter Chicken. It was obvious that the dish was made with love of quality ingredients, and I especially liked the addition of sliced almonds, but the spicing was too bland for my pallet. It was disappointing because the rice was so fragrant and appealing that I would guess that this place is not afraid to spice things appropriately. This might have been just a poor order, but it was listed on the "chef's suggestions" portion on the menu, so they do not get a pass. The next night I found myself hungry late night at 10:15PM on a Sunday, with just about everything in sight closed. After being rejected from a couple of other places I begrudgingly decided to go for Indian again. Obviously too embarrassed to go to the place I went the night before, I headed for Rajadoot and was happy to see the 3 bored staffers gaze upon me expectantly as I approached the door. It turns out they are open noon to midnight, 7 days a week, including holidays. At first I was going to play it safe again and order the Chicken Tikka Masala. But, after being upsold on an appetizer, I discussed Chicken Tikka Korai (which I had never had) with the waiter. He sold me on it primarily by saying it was "medium spicy". Remembering the rather bland Butter Chicken from the previous night I decided to switch things up I told him to change my order because I liked things very spicy. He replied: "If you like spicy that's a good choice, I things very spicy, but for you, medium spicy." To my disappointment, it turned out that I couldn't even detect the spiciness in the dish. And the appetizer was a bland fried shrimp. But, the flavors in the Korai were actually good, so if I could get it actually spicy maybe this place could earn an extra star. In the end, two more Indian restaurants that confirm my feelings on Indian food: meh -- 3 stars each.

Bombay Spice serves up quality Indian food at decent prices. As a student, the 20% discount is really nice. They also offer 10% off all take away orders. The service is good and the waiters very friendly. After just a few visits they remembered my order. I always order the cheese nan! It's perfectly pan fried with a gooey, cheesy inside. The chicken korma, tikka masala, and paka are all delicious! If you prefer lamb or vegetables in these wonderful sauces, just ask. They will be more than happy to prepare that for you, even if it's not listed on the menu. Bombay Spice is right next to another Indian restaurant, but it is surely the better of the two. Next time you're in Marylebone, try it for yourself!

I've gone into the restaurant for dinner a few times now and I wanted to upgrade them to a 5-star! The food is really so delicious! Whatever you order you MUST get a side of the saag-aloo it's really special. All the vegetarian items are delicious but the saag-aloo is standout amazing! The service is really lovely - I even saw them pour another guest a second pint because they weren't happy with their first pour which I thought was really accommodating. The ambience is your typical English curry house feel which I think keeps things authentic. the papadums come warm and at the plates do too which is a touch I loved! At the end of the meal they gave us after eights and when I looked delighted they brought me a second round! I love the food and the service was so great! Would recommend strongly for delivery or dine in!

Fantastic Indian cuisine located in the heart of Marylebone. Found this spot somewhat randomly but was blown away with the food, service, and ambiance. Staff is sharp and quick to get you what you need. The food was affordable, authentic, and incredibly fresh. Some of the best tikka masala I have ever had. Overall, an amazing experience and would recommend to anyone traveling through London. Cheers!

We tried Bombay Spice on our recent trip to London. The experience was ok, not great, not bad, just ok. The place is a bit cramped, especially the back little sunken room they seated us. It was a bit warm too. I ordered butter chicken and I must say, it was not what I expected. I haven't had enough Indian food in London to know whether that is a standard way to prepare it in London or that Bombay just does it differently. Regardless, it was still tasty. The naan we ordered, both plain and garlic, were delicious. So, although I can't say that I am a 'fan' of their food, it is still pretty decent.

Aside from the 10% discount offered to those who opt to take away their meals, Bombay Spice is worth paying full price. As a fan of Indian food, I love the vast selection on the menu. Here, you'll find the traditional Tandoori, Biriani and Vindaloo dishes along with some added flair! The menu includes quail, king prawns and of course samosa. Starters and sides are ridiculously well-priced for the area! You can get a started for as low as 2.10. There's also plenty of nan and lassi to go around!

We wanted to have a good Indian meal at least once during our holiday to England, and this didn't disappoint. We ordered king prawn masala, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and naan - garlic and plain. The portions were a little small, but they were delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly.

I was told to go here when I was visiting London for some amazing Indian and they were not wrong! Their tikka masala was my favorite to date. I'm thinking about moving to London for it. 5 stars all around!! Ooo and get the garlic naan too!

The worst Indian meal ever I had.i have seen very good reviews on TripAdvisor and google but when I go there restaurant is so busy food and service make me doubt it not real Indian what I hope for.very expensive and food is very low average which you get every corner of street.i order butter-e- khas on the menu it said medium but it so buttery and mild. One man standing outside calling in every single people passing him.look like he is very desperate for customers.this is very clear this is not good Indian in my opinion.

Lunch here on Wednesday. Used to be a regular before I changed jobs. Its a perfectly good curry place although it can be a little greasy. Good value though and friendly waiters. The kingfisher on tap is better than the bottled cobra.

I only just remembered eating at this place after finding a receipt in my wallet just now, it left that little an impression. That said, it was one of those late night currys, so take this review with a pinch of salt. From what little I remember, the curry was fine, but unremarkable. The service was pretty quick, but then I think they just wanted to go home.

The Indian food here is a bit different from traditional Indian food in that the sag paneer instead of being kind of a mushy spinach its more like julienned spinach if that makes any sense. However I really do like the food here, the chicken tikka masala is the best here! I haven't had a dish here I didn't like.. the okra is quite good too!

Having searched much of Marylebone for an Indian restaurant that didn't want to redefine Indian cuisine and charge you for the privilege of eating in the area we ended up at Bombay Spice, where my friends had eaten before. The menu consists of some of the usual English-Indian favourites (lamb pasanda, chicken tikka masala) plus a few dishes that added a bit of interest for anyone fancying a change from the norm (scallops, tandoori quail). The staff were friendly and the service was swift, without ever feeling rushed or like the food had been overly pre-prepared. Given the location (close to Baker Street / Madame Tussauds and not far from Marble Arch / Bond Street) the prices were very reasonable and similar to what you would pay outside of the tourist areas of Central London. Overall, a good meal for a reasonable price. Nothing fancy but if you're looking for somewhere to grab a relaxed dinner with friends this will do the job very nicely.

Bombay Spice is some of the best Indian food I have had outside of India. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. We had samosas to start with Chana Masala and two Paneer dishes. Everything we had was delicious, I am already planning my next trip back. To make things even better was the 20% Student Discount. The food was delicious and the prices were inexpensive. I highly reccomend this place to anyone who is looking for a great meal.
