I ate at this restaurant twice during my stay at the hotel and on both occassions the food was excellent. The service was very good and the value was excellent.

Went to Bombay Brasserie and although we had not booked they found a table for two, the service was excellent and the food was unbelievably great place to eat

We decided to give the newly renovated Bombay Brasserie in the Taj hotel in Cape Town central a try as we felt like Indian cuisine and was excited to try it out. On arrival we where warmly welcomed by the hostess and she seated us....The restaurant really looks beautiful inside and looks inviting. We decided to share the experienced option (R425 pp) and decadence option (R650 pp) 4 course set menu consisting of a 1. amuse bouche, 2. starter,3. trio of mains and 4. Desert. The confict duck was delicious to start the decadence course but the semolina & potato sphere chaat was average as the opening meal of the experience course. Going to the starters it was this time the experience option of mustard marinated broccoli florets and ginger adraki lamb chop with malay chicken tikka that was hands down a much better option than the decadence basil pesto prawn and chicken tikka with not even some greens like with the experience option. This did not make sense to me but so we continued to mains. The trio of mains was served with basmati rice and naan bread and looked nicely presentable altough I feel it was too starchy and was not accompanied by any greens/veg. The dal makhni was tasteless and dissapointing to say the least on the decadence side, the new potatoes and olives okey and the lamb bhana gosht was excellent and flavourfull. On the the experience side the jeera aloo was okey as well as the dal fry and chicken tariwala was not bad but not special either. The desert was to follow and must say as with the starter the experience option which was a masala chai brulee was much better than the decadence option which consisted of nougat kulfi ice cream and fruit. Overall we where greatfull for the experience although we where left a bit dissapointed. We where super bloated after the experience and looked back at some points that can improve like better, more attentive service (through out the whole experience and not just the beginning), contact from the manager (as she never came to check on us or find out if everything was in order) and minimise on the starch with such an experience (put more veg/greens on the plates). Would recommend to try this restaurant but not the non-vegetarian experience or decadence 4 course meal option.More

Poor Service. It’s not authentic Indian food. Waiter served our food , dropped it on the table and then picked it up placed it on the plate and went.

We went in on the last night there, I had the chicken tikka nachos, which were tasty and mom had the lamb curry which was also very good. waitstaff was friendly and attentive. and restaurant had a rich exotic feel to it.

Me and my partner are staying at the Taj hotel. We tried this restaurant first, atmosphere was decent. We had the tasting menu, confit duck was lovely (a deconstruction of duck pancakes) The lamb dishes were very lean, the meet fell apart, chicken was so...moist and tasty ! Worth a visit to 100%More

Wow, where to begin! What a great dining experience this restaurant offers. Delicious food, fabulous service and so many extra little touches to make it that extra bit special. The complimentary starter of the chaat was out of this world we ended up ordering another...serve off the menu as these chaat balls were so tasty. The lamb cutlets were extremely tender and juicy, as was the butter chicken. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly throughout the night. Would highly recommend dining here if you are visiting Cape Town.More
