Dined here recently while on a visit to Brampton, familiar with the name and food, due to having frequented the downtown location. An extremely delightful experience from the moment we came through the door. First being greeted by whom appeared to be the owner. He potentially is a fixture in the restaurant, asking if this was our(my family and I) first time there, perhaps not recognizing us. I struck a conversation mentioning we had dined on numerous occasions in Toronto, and he informed me that was his uncle’s location. Anyhow, we had Mango lassi, which were perfect, not too thick and not too thin. An abundance of fresh roti was replenished, both plain and garlic. Hot, crisp yet soft. Perfect dining consistency. Pakoras, samosa, papadum. Chutnies as well as a variety of salads were available for appetizers. All kid friendly at that, nothing too spicy. For main courses. A healthy variety of mild carnivore(Lamb and chicken) and vegan curries, as well, as a plus any spicy curries were labeled as such. In addition, tandoori and tikka chicken pieces were available to enjoy(which I did) as well a biryani was available, but I did not indulge, as I filled up on the delicious selections of curries. My son was most partial to the shahi paneer. I love them all, and fully enjoyed the variety of authentic flavours. The desert table was filled with all the typical Indian sweets as well as ice creams, from which I enjoyed a nice bowl of pistacio. One extra added bonus was presumably due to our friendly demeanor, and my almost 6 yr old son not only knowing curries but also eating them authentic Indian style(hands and roti, no cutlery) they only charged us the infant price of 1.99 or maybe 2.99 $ instead of the childs price of 10.99 $ for a meal. 10 outta 10, great food, great experience, will definitely return to this place

This used to be our go-to Indian place prior to discovering the larger buffet up the road. Honestly, while the buffet at Bombay Palace is smaller, the food is often fresher and tastier. Indian buffets have since saturated the area, but for the taste of an original, Bombay Palace doesn’t disappoint.

Went to explore this place with family. Good display of buffet items and sweets. They could improvise on chicken tandoori with little more masala and veg Manchurian could be less sweeter. Servers were good and quick as well. I will recommend this place to my friends.

We have been regulars of the Bombay Palace for many years always have a great experience. Just love the food, the Lamb Vindaloo, Fish Pakoras and creamy Dhal Curry are my favorites and of course the fresh baked Naan bread brought to your table. Very friendly owner who was kind enough to provide us with one of the recipes. The food is a lot more authentic as opposed to some of the other big buffets.

Didn’t eat here at the restaurant but attended for an event. Easy to get to, ample parking, inside is mediocre.

We are visiting from Chicago and just picked this from GPS. But it was a nice surprise. Good food, great service especially from the manager himself who was serving and helping too. Very personable! One suggestion i would make to themselves is that through out the evening someone should check the buffet, like try the food to make sure nothing spoiled. The pani puris were stale. The chole and a mango cabbage salad was really good!

It used to be so good. Wait staff were friendly and helpful. Now they are sour and superior. They are good with men but ignore women. It’ s as if they are too good to serve. The food is still Ok but the washrooms could do with a good clean. It was so handy and good but no one needs to be treated like this.

The place is run down, the food is typically comprised of the cheapest and lowest quality ingredients, and I’ve gotten sick after eating here. There are MUCH better options in the area, I would avoid Bombay Palace like the plague.

The last time I came here was before my recent visit which was ten years ago. It has changed so much from the exterior to interior. The once huge dining area has been reduced to half the size. The other part is now their banquet hall. I remember the buffet table had so many items to choose from, items that are not normally served at typical Indian buffets. We had an awesome culinary experience and were looking forward to repeat but it ended up being an OK experience this time. I found that the vegetarian dishes tasted better and had more flavor than their non-veg dishes. The saag paneer, sholay, gobi were all delicious but there was one non-veg item that I absolutely loved and it was their methi chicken. Another plus is they bring fresh naan to the table. The service was good in the beginning but then the server disappeared when we ready to leave. We flagged him down to get our check. I doubt we will be back since we have found some other gems in the area.

Very clean and elegant establishment. Been there for two weddings now and each time was spectacular. Staff and service is pristine. Love the layout and overall attention to detail in its construction. Will gladly recommend to others.

This place is amazing !! The food is really great! I really like the butter chicken here. Their chaat and pani puri tastes amazing. The staff is extremely friendly. A couple years ago they did renovation to theirs halls and the difference is like night and day! If you get a chance to check out the big hall you must! Washrooms are always clean

I can’t believe I’m the first one to review this Brampton classic. I’ve been going to Bombay Palace rarely for the past 10 years or so for parties and dinners, and almost as a rule I’ve always been pleased with the spread. During weekdays, Bombay Palace has a lunch buffet($ 12) which is not as extensive as Brar’s offering but much better in terms of quality and service. The owner of this location and the staff are extremely courteous and hospitable. BP has local business clientele, where as Brar’s appeals more to families and children. They offer the option of made-to-order flavoured paranthas and roti in the buffet line-up, thus not limiting you to the doughy naans –so that’s a huge plus in my books. The buffet has a decent variety of vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as Pani Puri and Chaat Papri. I recommend the tandoori chicken as it’s really well-made and tender on the inside. I’m docking one star, since the rasmalai for desert seemed to actually be a flattened syrupy rasgulla instead of a creamy rasmalai. All in all I’d definitely come back.
