Bombay Sweets

The restaurant's quality seemed to be lacking during your visit, which is unfortunate. It is truly disappointing when cleanliness and hygiene standards are not met. Moreover, the unpleasant smell from restrooms can significantly detract from the dining experience.

One of the finest Indian vegetarian restaurants, this gem offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors inspired by the bustling streets of Mumbai and Delhi, all at affordable prices. The dishes are prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring every bite is a burst of flavor. Must-try items include the perfectly crispy and spiced aloo tikkis, the silky and delicate khandvi, and the tangy, flavorful mixed chaat, reminiscent of Delhi’s famed street food. Pair your meal with their freshly baked, buttery garlic naan, and indulge in classic entrees like the creamy and aromatic saag paneer or the smoky, rich baingan bharta. A true haven for chaat and curry lovers seeking an authentic vegetarian experience!

I was given wrong order i order chana masala , and Mutter Mushroom and was given idk what !!! I also order jalebi and Nan was more than 30 dlls i have no idea what i was given until i got home 3 hr drive later i want a refund or tell me what food is this???

They sell delicious breakfasts too. I ordered chole bathure and dosa. The chai is good here. They have wide varities of sweets and Indian Snacks. This Indian sweet shop offers an incredible variety of fresh and delicious sweets that truly capture the authentic flavors of India. The quality is top-notch, with each bite being perfectly balanced in sweetness. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. The ambiance is clean and inviting, making it a delightful experience. Highly recommended!

Aah the Punjabi food at this place makes us drive 45 minutes every few months 😋😋. Our favorites are paneer kadhai and baingan bharta. The portions are huge and every order comes with naan and rice. Yet to find a restaurant serving Punjabi food better than this!

We loved shai paneer, this is our favorite whenever we go their, mild and not too spicy, easy on tummy.

We went here recently on a Sunday early evening when it was hardly crowded. Ordered and paid for a few items but it took a long time for some of the items to come. In fact they forgot about some of them. The service has deteriorated. They didn’t care much. Then the toilet maintenance- There was absolutely no pressure in the faucet for washing hands. Had to wait there to get a handful of water. Was wondering how they were cooking and washing inside. I informed the front desk about it but there was no response. Apparently they knew it already and didn’t care. The water glasses were smelling of chlorine. Overall was not a good experience. The restaurant management should not take customers for granted.

I used to love coming to Bombay Sweets, but no longer. Not sure if the owners have changed or cook has changed. Terrible food. We were 3 of us we took some take out. All of us sick with stomach upset and all. Plus one chaat took forever to come. Then the front desk girl asks me if I did order it, I had to show her the receipt. Very bad service and food atrocious. If they keep up with this they may have to shut the place down.

Always a satisfying lunch, and a very tempting variety of sweets laid out. Mattar paneer with roti this time. I miss the buffet they used to have, but everything is still good. If they have any fresh lemon pickle available that's well worth picking up. Addendum: the mattar paneer is really really good. Among the best I've ever had including in India.

Amazing variety of sweets! Everything from cham cham to barfi to laddoos. It's very tempting to get them all! Meetha paan was good but tiny for $2.50. Will try the snacks or chaat next time.

This review at Bombay Sweet is based on my recent experience when I ordered sweet's takeout. It didn't start well with parking situation. Then, the person helped me gave me wrong item. The employees behind the counter didn't seem to be bothered. Maybe because I don't look like their kind. Very unwelcoming. Comparing this restaurant with Raja Sweets, Bombay Sweets has more desserts and standard priced deli food. All items were labeled clearly. However, employee who helped me kept asking what I wanted. I said the name out aloud and pointing with my finger, she gave me wrong item anyway. Flavors were good and tasted fresh. Unfortunately, I couldn't get what I wanted. I don't think I want to come back to try it again. So, no. Not coming back.

Always a good experience. Reminds us of India. We love to indulge in hot pranthas. very casual ambiance. you have to order and pick the food from the counter. They are really fast.

The service is exemplary - Noor - Manpreet and Abhishek (Awaaz) make the experience fabulous - sitting there listening to my childhood songs made ur even more special- thanks Bombay Sweets and Noor!

Delicious, fresh, Indian food with authentic flavours. An excellent selection of chaat, small meals, tea and snacks and a plethora of sweet and savories to choose from.

I never liked this place because of the quality of the food they used to provide in the past. I returned to this restaurant after 5 years just to give it a chance. We decided to purchase Khoya from this place to make desserts at home. We specifically mentioned that we want khoya without any added sugar. I bought the khoya from them and later realized that its sweet. And it was not just sweet but sweet to a point where you can feel that its khoya in sugar. It was a cheap khoya with lots of sugar added. Total trash. I was right to hate this place and i am not going back especially when there are better stores around.

I visited Bombay sweets three years ago, I never expected that the sweets are so much superior in quality, flavor and texture, than any other Indian sweets locations I visited in states. I would recommend Bombay sweets to anyone who wants to experience the real sweets!!!, if you are in Houston Texas please visit and enjoy the delicious food. They have restaurant and all is cooked fresh. The service is amazing, professional, courteous and friendly staff. The ambiance is amazing, place is clean and all the items are nicely organized. I live in Austin Texas and go there every few months. Please take my word and visit with family and friends, ENJOY!!!

Great portion sizes and very flavorful. It's a great spot for vegetarian Indian food and all the desserts you can imagine. We love the samosa chaat and the dosas here. There is ample parking and the service is very quick.

I recently dined at Bombay Sweets and asked for fresh food the employee told other employee in her ear juts give then food. so she didn't make it fresh it was cold. and the owner lady is very rude. this restaurant is a joke and staff family's owned i guess but they do not know how to take care customers' they talk about customers. i don't understand this restaurant still here's would never ever go back there again.

After a couple of months break, I finally went back to Bombay sweets to fulfill my craving for Indian snack. I ordered the Bhel puri and dahi puri. Both items were delicious. Savory, seasoned n spicy. Their dahi puri is my favorite item and it's so nicely presented. After the meal was over, I went ahead and ordered 2 hot teas along with a few pieces of Jalebi baby. What a perfect way to end the meal with a sweet item and chai. A couple of my friends that had joined ordered the masala dosa and samosa chaat and chaat papri. All of those items were delicious and they thoroughly enjoyed savoring every bite. We will be back here soon.

I am out of words. This shop is so amazing, their food was amazing especially their dosa,naans,mango lassi, and their pani puri (gol gape). They also had a sweets section in their store which was filled with amazing choices which tasted out of this world! On top of that their service was so quick, it took 7 minutes for my order to come and the servers were so nice that I had to leave an amazing tip! Overall this restaurant , shop is amazing and I 10/10 recommended this please give it a try!

Price has gone up quite a bit . Samosa is $2.25 per piece. papadi chat is $10.99 Big jump in prices. Will not be going there and find another restaurant where at least there are servers.

I very rarely review restaurants. But this one requires special attention. I ordered samosa chat, paneer pakora and aloo tiki. Paneer pakora was as hard as a rock. Aloo tiki was soggy. Samosa chat tasted terrible. The worst was the aftertaste. If you don't want to do honest business then you should not be in operation. Terrible. Stay away!!!!!

I've been coming here since I was a wee boy. We'd sometimes come after Sunday School and eat some delicious, vegetarian food. It has a very casual, open layout. You go and order at the counter while you browse the fresh Indian snacks and sweets. The quantity of food they give you is AMAZING! ~$9 for easily 2 meals worth. The food is tasty, fresh, and authentic. My family always comes to eat here when we're in the Hillcroft area. Love this place. It never disappoints

Terrible old mithai, and if you ask for it fresh they will tell you the old boxes on the wall are fresh, don't be fooled they are not fresh at all. Just go to Raja's

I think this place is so awesome and a 5 star review is well deserved but think the service could be nicer. It isn't a fancy place but every single item is very good! We go to Indian places not knowing what things are so we usually just end up ordering a bunch of random things to try and take home knowing there is no way we would finish things. Pani Puri is the best here in my opinion and prices are very reasonable. Would come here more if I live closer!

I can't recommend this place enough! The sweets are paid by the pound so keep that in mind, but they are all good (except for the spaghetti looking stuff)

I used to come here often prior to the pandemic, back in the day I remember paying 50 cents for each samosa and the price was given up front even posted as an individual item. I went back yesterday for a large order of samosas and never actually received a price per item. Price is not announced. Anyways, I was charged roughly 2.5 usd per each samosa and ordered 24 ( total was 60usd). Food is delicious, but I have a bad impression with the price not being announced, and more than double what it was in years past. Inflation may account for some of it, but not double or quadruple the price. Now, I am not so happy about coming here. It is a bit overpriced for vegetarian food in my honest opinion.

Great selection of vegetarian dishes and sweets. Been here twice and will be going back again. If you are looking for a pure vegetarian restaurant , this is the place to go. My favorite dishes (some of them in the images I provided) include -Paneer Dosa -Mutter Paneer -Mutter Mushroom -Mixed Vegetable Korma The Roti and Naan were great. Highly recommend this location!

Best place for Indian sweets and Chats in the whole of Houston. Go to place in Hilcroft for sweets & Chats. Used to love their buffet before covid. Unfortunately, they closed their daily buffet. The only minus point is for not providing enough golgappa pani for the golgappe/pani puri plate. The pani is insufficient if you want to fill all the puri's to their capacity. Have to always order extra pani paying $3. Would be great if they increase the quantity of the pani puri water.

When I travel to Houston and in the mood for some good Indian/Pakistani/Desi/South-Asian snacks we normally head to Bombay Sweets. We've gotten the Samosa Chaat which was really good (although the mint chutney is spicy); the choole bhature which were AMAZING; the boxed snacks which were also good; the paneer pakora, also good; and the samosa and pakora which were not good

Today I went to Bombay sweets the lady at the register was very rude I told her the samosas are smelling oil she was rude and spoke to me very rudely I said the other lady is kind and listen to us politely so she said she is old and u am young I request the owner to replace her otherwise she will lose customers she had a high pitch with everyone I love this place . I spend 60 dollars but was disappointed by the way she was talking n telling me I am old that's why u like her.

The most wonderful vegetarian Indian food in all of Houston. Everything is delicious. We can't get enough of this place. The best paneer Makani I have ever had. Plus the coffee. We eat here at least 4 times a month

I have been coming to this establishment for right around a decade, and they have never once disappointed me. Bombay Sweets creates a family-friendly environment and always serves food relatively quickly. Today, I came in for a Samosa Chaat. To my surprise I noticed my food wasn't here after 7-8 minutes which is generally not the case. After I went up to the front, a man wearing a turban was very upset with himself when he realized that they had completely forgotten my order. Thereafter, he prepared my food within 2 minutes and even added extra ingredients to compensate. This was clearly an honest mistake, and something that I wouldn't hold against them. If you are visiting Houston or are around the area, certainly check this place out. They are amazing and serve delicious food remarkably fast.

Food was nice but service was very rude they closed door on my face before it is showing open it is really very rude gesture

A lot of sweets on different food there service in good to nice place in Houston the ambiance is great on hill craft street. In like a Punjabi place like tea and sweets are great place to go in Houston. The manager from the place is from Punjabi in Chandigarh that where is from.

This is a vegetarian buffet restaurant where I use to come several times a year. However, the quality of food has gone down and today is my first visit in 2019. The price was $7.99 last year and it's at $8.99. They label the food in non English, so you have to ask or just guess. I saw a dish named Locky and asked what it is. First lady said she doesn't know, second lady said squash. Then first lady said potatoes. Hmm, so what is it? Food are oily, like very oily. I had a little bit of a few dishes like spinach paneer and chickpeas. Unsure what the rest are. They also have these two bright yellow dessert which are super sweet. I'm not a fan! However I like their rice pudding. They also give fresh naan for the buffet. Interior has been updated but service can be improved. Won't be returning anymore!

Food: 4 (over priced) Service:2 Ambiance: does not even qualify for a grade. :( Restroom:1 (not be acceptable) Food preparation staff not wearing gloves, touching food with bare fingers, disgusting!!!

Panner soup with rice & flat bread to go.Welcoming Establishment,great customer service, serve with Hot fresh made to order Food

I usually come here for the samosas and other Indian food. But they have buffet and lots of desserts for sale. The lady at the counter is always friendly and nice. The place is clean and the samosa is cheap . Can't beat $1 deal. Strongly recommended this place

I Love the allo paratha and dood patti.

TRY THEIR CHAAT! Came across this place when I was on my Indian grocery shopping run! Reminded me of the Bombay sweets back home in Tamil Nadu and I had to go in. The food just caught my eyes and I could not decide on what to order. Everything looked good and the prices were just right! I got some fresh jalebis to start with and they definitely did not disappoint. I know a good jalebi when I see one and they had good ones but they were a bit toooo sweet for me. I decided on their paneer paratha, dahi poori, paneer dosa and pani Puri! I highly recommend their chaat to get the feel of Indian street food. The paneer paratha was a bit dry and had very less filling. The paneer dosa was also good but nothing extraordinary. I would definitely visit this place again. I would suggest dining outside or ordering a take out! The people were nice and friendly except for one lady who was rude but I get it since it was a busy day and way too many people and I took forever to decide!

Favorites: Pani Puri, Mango Lassi Reliable option if you're craving chaat or desi snacks

I love you guys so much. I've been a patron for like 15 years. But I have to say that you probably wouldn't need commercials if you would bring your awesome buffet back. I'd pay like $18. I miss it so much

Bombay Sweets is absolutely my go-to spot for mithai in Houston. They have a load of options, including my favorites: milk cake and jalebi. The mithai is always fresh, and comes at a reasonable price. I have never tried their savory food, but would definitely recommend this place for sweets!

Undoubtedly, Bombay sweets is the Indian place for quick snack with a wide variety of options, to buy sweets for festivals and anything else. Whenever I go to Hilcroft I make sure to stop by at Bombay Sweets to get some samosas. I've also been here early morning like 10ish to get tea and paneer pakora for a bunch of friends traveling to houston from different states. This specific post also reviews the Aloo Kulcha I had for breakfast. They serve it will chana, curd, pickled onions and other pickles. It's super filling and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing. I saved one quarter of the Kulcha and ate it later like lunch. The Kulchas are nice, fresh, fluffy and tasty. They also serve buffet, haven't tried that yet. Give it a try and let me know!

Love this place. It's more than sweets. Lunch and dinner vegetarian buffet for $8.99, or you can order chaat off the menu. Buffet includes a free order of naan. Pretty good selection of dishes. My favorite is the saag paneer. It's not overly creamy and has a great flavor. The desserts are good too. Parking can be an issue because the shopping strip can get busy. Also, the restaurant is a bit cramped. Tables are close together, and they are often slow to bus the tables.

They make Rava Dosa in advance so it's always served cold. I sent it back and she said it was new one but it was same one and still cold. I asked for refund.

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the food here. The menu is always the same, and the food seems to be lacking in flavor. There is absolutely no spice in any of the dishes, and I don't know how anyone could possibly say this about Indian food... but I feel like they don't use enough salt . That being said, the restaurant is clean and the employees are very friendly. My husband and his two best friends absolutely love it here, so we come at least once a month... mostly I think because it's cheap and fast. This is not someplace that I recommend to my friends when they ask for good Indian restaurants, but it's not offensive and works in a pinch.

Favorite place on Hilcroft to satisfy my cravings! Their food is always fresh, filled with so much flavor, and never EVER disappoints. It's the best place to satisfy your Indian food cravings on Hilcroft in my opinion. I have tried a lot of places, and Bombay Sweets is my number one! A few of my faves- - Papri Chaat - Masala Dosa (the best I have had) - Paani puri - Bhel puri - Kachori chaat -Aloo Paratha with aachar and yogurt - Paneer Paratha You won't be disappointed :)

Sweets were stale and not fresh and SUPER over priced, I got like 1.4 LBS of sweets and it came out to $18.60. Might as well go to Rajaa sweets next door.

A decent place for some quick evening snacks/ lunches or sweet occasions! '++'s: The Spicy Chili (Mirchi Bajji) was fresh and delicious '=='s: The decor and interior atmosphere - Relatively spacious in comparison to its counterparts, slightly dated but decent decor. '=='s: The sweets - Tried the Gulab-jamun, Kaju Katli & Kalaakand; Some being good, some decent. Overall good selection of sweets but you will find better elsewhere for the occasion!

Everything was delicious! Buffet is 7.99 what a deal!!! The sweets counter is beautiful!! This is a hidden gem!

Worst Indian food ever,we went in this morning to get some samosas and I saw the lady sorting the samosas and thought she might be giving the fresh one.But Alas,the filling inside them were stale and smelly.all four of us who ate them are now complaining about upset stomach.Don't just dump the trash on your customers just because they came in early.Never going back again and never recommending it again to anyone.

You can't go wrong with Bombay Sweets. Delicious food, tons of vegan options. Very reasonable prices and generous portions.

Do not ever buy their boxed sweets. They sell stale sweets, and when you ask to exchange nicely, they refuse and are very rude. We had to create a big scene to have our concern addressed. If they had agreed to exchange or refund, their reputation would have stayed up. Never going back there again, because these people don't know anything about customer service. Only for $10, they lost a lifetime of business with us. The lady at the front is super rude. She could have easily resolved the issue by offering us a refund or exchange, but she had to escalate the issue and cause all the drama. Never again

Bombay Sweets has become a regular spot for us over the past year. We started coming to pick up sweets to bring home for dinner parties, they have a huge variety and are happy to talk you through the different sweets as you order. We've come back to try the regular food as well. My boyfriend likes their snacks, especially the paneer pakora. The dahi poori and aloo tiki are also consistently good. You also can't go wrong with the pav bhaji or chana battura. Great consistent food overall, and friendly service.

Definitely do not recommend. They make sweets in bulk, so how do you expect them to be fresh? They sell stale food in general not just sweets. For example, I went a few days back and asked for tea, and the lady poured from a pre made batch instead of making it fresh. In front of me, another lady asked if the rasmalia was fresh, and the lady on the counter replied with a "yes ma'am we just placed five minutes back"-? At least don't lie to your customers...
