We’d had a long day touring Bath with Christine, Graham, Jessica and Marissa and were ready for a good evening meal that didn’t require too much walking back into town from the hotel we were staying at. The Bombay Nights Nepalese and Indian Restaurant was on Lower Bristol Road, opposite our hotel, so seemed the perfect choice. Our only slight concern was whether Jessica and Marissa who had never eaten this type of food before would be up for trying something new.
We arrived at around 8pm and were quickly seated by the smart and cheerful staff. We went for a variety of traditional Indian dishes between us and for the kids, ordered up a mild korma which proved to be very popular indeed. Without any problem, the kids wolfed it back with the plain boiled rice the accompanied it. Drinks wise, Dusty , Graham and Christine went for Cobra, while I opted for a french house red, which was very drinkable indeed. The only noticeable issue we had at the restaurant was the fire alarm kept going off at the start of the meal. We were assured this was because of some over excited cooking that caused the smoke detectors to activate, but this was quickly resolved and never effected a very pleasant evening which was had by all.
The food was very well cooked with good attention to detail. Good ingredients had clearly been used and the sauces were not too overpowering as to hide the meat or vegetable dishes served. The window of this restaurant proudly displays a number of awards it has won and we agreed at the end of the night, that they were justified.
A great Indian restaurant with happy, friendly and professional staff.
