Bombay BistroA

14-17 Bruntsfield Pl, Edinburgh, EH10 4HN, United Kingdom · Indian restaurant · Bruntsfield

Bombay Bistro looks like a lively, modern Indian spot with creative menu twists, strong food quality, and generally good value, though a few diners have flagged uneven service and some side dishes as underwhelming.

Our take

Bombay Bistro delivers exceptional food quality with bold seasoning and standout curries and biryani that earn consistent praise from repeat visitors, paired with attentive service that keeps the experience polished. The contemporary dining room elevates the experience beyond a typical high-street curry house, though the pleasant Bruntsfield location reads as convenient rather than destination-worthy, keeping it just short of the very top tier.

One caveat: Service is not perfectly consistent; a small number of diners mention inattentiveness or weak menu knowledge.

Standout dishes

• Chicken Biryani

• Bhatti Murgh Masala

What people love

• The flavors are described with real enthusiasm — bold, fresh, and memorable rather than flat or generic.
• Several diners rave about the biryani, rogan josh, bhatti-style chicken, and fusion starters like haggis chaat.
• People love the calm, stylish interior and the fact that it feels considered rather than flashy.
