Delicious and tasty. Really good food. You can smell the nice masalas when you walk in the restaurant. It's got a bit more of authentic Indian flavour compared to other places we have tried in Manila. Recommend.
love this indian restaurant :)
We sometimes dine and order through food panda.
The curry is tasty, even if you don’t order the meat dishes. The palak paneer and
The lentil dishes taste different each time. I have no idea why...:(
Favorite dishes - Palak paneer (Cottage cheese and spinach), Paneer Butter Masala, Vegetable Makhanwala. You can also order garlic naan and cheese naan to complement the spicy curry :)
Masala on a roll. Masala for the win. 😋 For Indian cuisine cravings while in BGC, try the #newbombayauthenticindiancuisine for their butter chicken and mutton masalas, paired with roti or naan. 👍🏻😊 #foodtodaywithdorainbgc #taraletseat #foodie #foodlover #zomatoph
I loved their food! It felt so authentic because we were the only non Indian people there (except for the staff). Even the chef was Indian too, which was a giant plus. I had a paneer dish, the first one on the list (I can't remember which one. The spiciness burned it out of my mind) and my SO had chicken tandoori. Both were delightfully spicy. Yes, they made my bowels cry but it was worth every bead of sweat. The flavors were strong and contrasting in a cool way.
Indian cuisine is really broad and interesting. This place gives a great glimpse to it imo.
P.S. I took a star off because of the decor and the setting of the place. They don't have a sign by their door and you wont know they exist unless you try hard to look. They lack facade. The dining room is also cramped. We sat by the door and almost every delivery guy touched us with their bikes. Not too appetizing if you ask me.
Nagsimula lang ako ng aking paglalakbay ng Indian na pagkain noong buwan.
Ang lugar na ito ay tago na tago. Walang senyales sa ikalawang palapag! Agad kumanan ka nang paglabas sa elevator.
Nakita ko ng maraming Indian na tao doon. Mukhang authentic talaga ng New Bombay. Ngunit the place seems to be really janky for BGC. There's not enough room kaya ang lamesa ko ay malapit sa pinto. The ambiance is really terrible there, too.
Kinain namin ang mga sumusunod:
* Tandoori chicken (spicy)
Talagang masarap ang manok. Hindi naman masyadong maanghang. The sauce they used reminded me of chicken intestines. It also had the same kulay. There were additional sauces, which I don't know the name of. Ang berdeng sauce was creamy and spicy. Ang kayumangging sauce was sweet. Ang buti ng addition ito!
* Almond lassi
As a drink it was quite nice, however it was served warm. Therefore, it wasn't that much enjoyable. The almonds would always clog my paper straw, so it was a real hassle to drink it. As a drink, I like it, but the way it was served/prepared was horrible.
* Paneer Tin Mirchi
Super spicy, super yummy. Kind of oily but not in a bad way. A perfect addition for...
* Butter Naan
I guess everything works with this bread since I ate it with Paneer Tin Mirchi. Could've easily been any other naan and I wouldn't have even noticed.
Summary: really expensive (php 1030 for everything), the place is crammy and feels like a hospital. However, the food is something that will probably light up ang iyong dilim na gabi.
There are not a lot of Indian restaurants in BGC, the only one available is New Bombay. Whenever I crave, I head over to the Crossroads Building. I always order their samosa, mutton masala, and pita.
Their samosa has a crispy exterior and has the rich flavors of cumin and other indian spices with every bite. Its very good with the tamarind sauce. The mutton masala is rich in flavor and great when you dip the bread on it. It’s delicious.
We ordered Medium Spicy Chicken Biryani. Place was ok, there were few visitors. For me, the Biryani was a little salty (compared to the Biryani that I’ve tasted before also from New Bombay).
Staff and service were also okay.
They serve by far the best Indian Food I had in Manila. I stayed in Manila for around 10 days and I used to have lunch here every single day. Their Malai Kofta are to die for. Their Naan's are really well cooked. Every single dish I have tried was exceptional. Would suggest this to anyone and everyone who loves Indian Food!
Enjoyed our meal here. The masalas from the buffet were delicious, especially the shrimp one. I ate mine with biryani but I think I’d rather eat it with pita / roti. I can also take more heat, so I would love to try a hotter version.
One of the best gulab jamun I’ve tried here in the country. Even better than the one I’ve tried that was made by an Indian neighbor. Maybe needs just a smidget of cardamom taste.
The service is a bit lacking. I wish they were more attentive.
As with Chinese restaurants being tolerable ones when you see Chinese people dine, the same goes for Indian restaurants like New Bombay. While Indian friends don’t agree that this the most authentic one in the metro, it’s quite close enough to go for some comfort Indian food.
We personally love the shrimp biryani, paired to the mutton masala, plus sides of garlic and butter naan. Adjust the heat 🌶 by letting your servers know.
