"A new favorite Indian Restaurant in San Rafael. Truly excellent and decent portions of Asian Indian foods. Located in what was the Orgazma Pizza place, that closed a year or two ago. To us it was such a dirty place that we only went when the grandchildren were younger. In talking to the new owner of Lotus, I mentioned the location and he agreed that it was so bad that they gutted the interior and totally rebuilt the current, very classy and beautiful, award winning Lotus Indian Cuisine of India. The menu is extensive with many options in each category and all food is prepared when ordered so you are getting a fresh meal every time rather than coming from a previously cooked batch. The menu has descriptions of each offering, so you do not have to be an Asian Indian to understand what you are ordering. A lot of neat appetizers. I think I would like to nosh my way through a meal with friends consisting of appetizers! Likewise, lots of Indian breads. And we liked that you could order a selection of three to sample them. Curries: vegetarian, chicken, seafood, lamb and goat. Don't be afraid of goat as it is quite good in any of the rich curry gravies. Ditto lamb. Try. Clay Pit Oven baked Tandoorie selections and there are the rice Biriyani dishes. Also, Indian desserts and an array of non alcoholic beverages which include the heat reducing, delicious Lassis. A daily lunch buffett is offered from 11am 2pm. And take out is a regular part of their business. You can order, for an up charge, organic chicken and gluten free items. Ask your wait person. An excellent date place and they can do parties. We are so happy to see them in San Rafael. You will be happy also, when you experience the ambiance and excellent dishes."

"What happened?! This is my second review of Bombay Grill with my last being a few years ago closer to their initial opening and a full 5 stars. So much has changed.We haven't had Indian from here since before COVID, so a few years, and we were excited to order for pickup. Food was ready promptly for pickup, and when I arrived the restaurant had a very sad feel. A woman seated with her family was complaining her curry dish wasn't the right color and I was internally rolling my eyes. Her husband had his head in his hands out of embarrassment or frustration his food was the only which hadn't arrived. Anyway, I grabbed my food and headed home.We had the chicken biryani, curry chicken, a grilled meat appetizer, and samosa appetizer. Appetizers were fine nothing amazing or terrible no surprises. The chicken biriyani though was one of the oddest things I've eaten. While edible, it was incredibly overspiced with cloves where at several points we found ourselves pulling full clove stems out of our mouths. That's unheard of im not Gordon Ramsey but eff me I even know that's not okay. At one point we said it tasted like someone dropped some spiced apple cider in the rice. As for the chicken curry, the color was totally different than what we were used to it was red the lady at the table was no longer as obnoxious as I had believed. It basically tasted like chicken tikka masala with some curry powder thrown in. Everything seemed like a cook who was issued to cooking Italian or some other cuisine tried cooking Indian food for the first time and was winging it. This was a huge departure from our earlier years of often ordering from here, and sad to say we may be on a break again. I hope for the best with them as Bay Ridge like many areas desperately needs a solid Indian spot."

"My gf and I had been looking for Indian cuisine for date night, and this one had a great Yelp review rating. Unfortunately, our experience was very underwhelming. The food itself was relatively tasty, which is why I shied away from giving it an overall Poor rating, but between the service and cleanliness, we probably won 't be back for a second try. When we walked in, the place was pretty empty (it was 7pm on a Saturday). We were seated quickly, but weren 't given menus as we were sat. We had to wait about 6 7 minutes before someone else (not our original server) came by and asked if we would like menus. When we looked at our silverware, we noticed that our knives looked like they 'd barely been cleaned at all there was dried residue of a previous meal on my girlfriend 's. When we went to order drinks, we were told the beer refrigerator had broken, and so they only had a very limited number of cold beer options (which was a bummer, because the beer selection actually looked good). I ordered one of the cold options available, but upon asking for a second round, was told they no longer had any of those cold. As for the food, my girlfriend had the Chicken Korma, and compared to mine her chicken was dry. I ordered the Chicken Curry, which was tasty and not dry, but not cubed per the menu. Fortunately, since my girlfriend didn 't want much rice, we were able to share the one bowl we were given, although no one ever asked us if we needed more. Back to the drinks...when we did order a second round (flagging down another server to do so), it took 10 minutes before the drinks arrived, and my girlfriend could see hers sitting on the bar waiting to be brought over for about 5 of those. When we were ready to leave, again we had to wait and flag down a random server, who brought us the check and did oblige the Free Glass of Wine with Yelp Check In, maybe the best part of the meal? As we were leaving, our original server appeared and asked if we needed the check...lol."
