"Hi Bombay was recommended to us as the Portland restaurant for Indian takeout and we ordered Samosas, Naan, and several entrees. Our order was ready and waiting upon our arrival, and I mentioned that the weight of the bag, alone, might be a good indication of what was inside. When we returned home and unpacked the bag-of-goodies, we found generous portions of Saag, Tikka Masala, Aloo Mutter, and Dal nestled away in their plastic containers, along with cartons of rice. All of these had their own delightful flavorful sauces. And, it was the sauces, that filled the greatest volume of the entree containers. Were there sufficient ingredients in each for sharing? Yes, if one had anticipated a small portion of proteins without the sauce. Was there sufficient sauce for each dish? The answer to that question is that there was more than enough sauce. In fact, the containers in which we placed the leftovers were filled with a greater volume of sauce than the ingredients around which the entree was based. This was particularly true for the Aloo Mutter where not even one whole potato appeared with a handful of peas and the Lamb Saag. In retrospect, we had expected a balanced ratio of sauce and ingredients but came away with a number of unbalanced dishes. Was it good? Yes. Were the entrees worth the price of admission? In today’s market, Hi Bombay’s entree prices are in line with other Portland restaurants which are in the medium $18-$23) range. We will let you be the judge about whether these prices reflect what appears on the plate."
