Bombay Bhel, located in the Yonge and Eglinton area, is a pleasure if you enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. The folks who make these delicious dishes are focused on producing a quality product in a traditional fashion. Many of these dishes are not for the faint of heart. (Or stomach!)
The vindaloo is perfect, with a level of spiciness that will bring tears to the eyes of the unaccustomed palette. While the tandoori chicken is pretty standard, the butter chicken reaches a new level of flavour with its rich and creamy sauce. (Not for calorie counters.)
For those who prefer the vegetarian fare, the channa masala and mattar paneer are superb with a side of basmati rice, however, the Bhel really impressed us with their Aloo Gobi, a personal favorite of several of our tasters. Also try the Aloo Tiki or Pakora as starters instead of the standard samosa, you won't be disappointed.
The prices are fair, the ambiance is good and the food is of a high quality. The proprietors are really friendly and are always willing to go that extra mile for large parties as well as corporate lunch take-out orders.
Overall: Authentic fare, superbly prepared.
