When you step into the Bombay Brasserie Indian Restaurant in Houston, Texas, your senses are immediately alerted to the exquisite smells coming from the kitchen where authentic Indian food is being made. You are then greeted by one of their friendly waiters and seated at a nice table with sparkling white tablecloths. Excellent service… exquisite Indian food… and friendly, caring people who are not merely serving you to make a profit, but to ensure you are enjoying your dinner while they get to know you a little better making your next visit there even more enjoyable.
Such is the experience that our family has had at Bombay over the last two years. Spending so much time in the hospital and often getting tired of hospital food, fast food, and microwave dinners, not to mention way too exhausted to cook every night, we discovered Bombay in the Rice Village and ventured in for a taste of something different. The people there welcomed us in, got to know us, and before long, we could walk through the door and be greeted by our names and the next inquiry would be as to how our son was doing in his fight against cancer. One day Jonathan was finally able to visit for himself and they treated him to a wonderful meal. Our little girl was even treated to a private tour of the kitchen where she was able to see the many dishes being prepared as well as the big clay oven called a tandoori. She was quite amazed!
The people there who care enough to get to know our family, the chef with his happy face and cooking talents, the atmosphere, and exquisite food are all reasons that we love this place. If you’re ever in Houston, stop by Bombay and enjoy!
