Our go to Indian Restaurant. I really enjoy the food here, we have a regular take out for dinner every week or two. Ambience isn't that important to me, even if we could eat indoors (we are not eating inside restaurants yet). But we truly enjoy it. Well prepared, good portions, good taste. What more can you ask for???

The owner was super friendly and very helpful. The yellow lentil dal with paratha is addicting it’s so good . 5 stars.

Just went for lunch today. whole restaurant was empty. There was one gentlemen on phone. He gave me the menu and I ordered with some food, dal fry and okra. Both were in original trays which you buy in Indian market, just warmed up. I complained about okra being not cooked. His answer was that if He cooks more, it will be burnt. All food there seems to be canned food just warmed up. He even did not bother to give me water. For this canned food he charged me $ 32. Total rip off on the top of canned food. I was disgusted and left without eating. Will never go again.

Only visited a few times but I love it, food always just the right amount of kick to it to let you know youre eating indian food. Would highly recommend to anyone. Service is average and portion sizes were generous so maybe try it family style if you visit.

This was our second time getting dinner from Bollywood Bistro. First time was in the heart of Covid so we understood the dine-in plastic ware and plates. This time we ordered take-out, for 3 entries and two small apps $80 ... which included a $2 convenience fee for ordering on-line and an optional 'request' for gratuity from a family-run place for take out. Very over-priced for food in plastic containers and white rice in a paper carton. Food was good, but we all felt it was worth no more than $50 ... certainly not $80. Hopefully they will re-open the restaurant as a 'destination' with proper service (as so many other places already have) and adjust their prices for take-out accordingly.

Okay. Bollywood Bistro is in the same spot as our former favorite Indian restaurant, Amravathi. We had high expectations, because we live 2 counties away. Well? First, the food: excellent. Fresh. Authentic. BIG servings. Second, we were able to speak to the owner & his son, two of the nicest people you would ever meet, & they told us of their move to this spot. Lastly, WHY AREN'T YOU THERE?!? Try & find an Indian restaurant as good, as nice & as authentic as Bollywood Bistro; you won't. Do yourself & your palate a huge favor--GO! You will be thanking me.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find vegan Indian food? Not Indian food that is pretending to be vegan but secretly has ghee, yogurt or milk in it; but is legit vegan? Impossible. Then I found this place. The naan is nothing short of magical. You heard me, magical. It's light and full of flavorful. The garlic chili naan had the perfect blend of garlic and heat. It's nothing like the bland, heavy, doughy flatbread you get at other places. Let me say it again for the folks in the back...it is magical. I ordered the Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes) with basmati rice and the Daal Tadka (lentils). Everything had such a depth of flavor. A perfect balance of spices with enough heat (I requested hot) that enhanced the food without overpowering it. I couldn't believe how much I ate, but it was so good, I couldn't stop myself. My very non-vegan friend loved her dish too...and even stole half my lentils they were so delicious! The owner and his son could not possibly have been more personable. They have a very clear understanding of what it means for food to be vegan, which I appreciate. They have an outdoor dining area, but you can also eat inside. I would definitely recommend you check them out.

I have driven by this place a million times and always wanted to try it. Finally had it for the first time tonight.I had the vegan chana saag with some naan and it was amazing. The gentleman that worked there was kind and articulate and took the time to explain the dishes.

The food is really good, and if you ask for the food to be spicy they will make it spicy... like the perfect amount of heat. The staff there is very courteous and friendly.My only minor complaint is that their prices are about $5 more than most Indian restaurants in the area, and the portion size (which is meal size portion and did not need to be larger) is the same size as the other restaurants. I know times are hard and it may be impossible for them to bring down the meal cost, but that is likely to be a deciding factor in how often I eat here.

Was really in the mood for good Indian food. Decided to give this restaurant a try. We have our favorite go to but read good things about Bollywood. When we first walked in I thought I should leave, the restaurant was empty and that kind of scared me. We decided to stay and we were were so happy we did. The owner and his son were so friendly made us feel like old friends, even took us in the kitchen to see the tandoori oven and how the naan is made. Food was Excellent. My husband, daughter and myself moaned over everything. A little more pricey then we are used to but worth it. Food was fresh and delicious.A lot of out going orders. We will be returning.

I am so disappointed with the service we got from BBistro. I ordered for a party based on a good review from a friend. But was totally dissatisfied . The owner made tall promises but did not keep any. We ordered food for a group of 50 people but the quantity was not sufficient for even 30 people . The food is expensive and quantity for that price is very less. The owner is a con and willl not listen to your preference but will try to impose what is profitable for him.Would not recommend this place to anyone

Ordered for the first time tonight. Food was delicious and fresh. Customer servic/interaction with person who answered the phone was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Owner is very rude. My wife found a hair in her dish, so we politely told the owner and asked if we can have another dish. He then accused us of lying in order to get free food. We paid our tab and left right after that. The food was mediocre, anyway. Never eating here again.
