What People Are Saying About Bombay Talkie

The Editor

The Scene – Everything about Bombay Talkie reflects the splashy style and playful contrasts of Bollywood films. The interior drips with shiny surfaces and cool tones, and a posh Chelsea crowd fills black-leather booths while gazing upon a colorful Bollywood dance mural. The movies themselves play on HDTV above the bar, and next to the screen, glowing pink letters spell out the drink choices, with names like A New Phase of Life. – – The Food – The menu may not be as adventurous as the decor, but it's just as thorough in execution. There's nothing impoverished about the…

Let's add rice and charge $14 instead of $6 in a recession?

by tjg81296

Let's take all the side dishes that people seem to order because they are somewhat reasonably priced and add rice to them. We can charge $14 instead of $8. Bye Bye Bombay Talkie..... Nice knowing you...

  • Cons: Outprice the customer..

Excellent Indian food

by magicloop2009

A great indian cuisine. A great place to have candle light dinner. A great place to dine for a date. You feel like you are in india, with the indian music. I order numrous mango lassi's, with rice and chicken curry with the sauce. Very delicious and by far the best Indian cuisine in NYC. Better than a buffet. No lines, hardly any crowds, just a while untill your food is served, so just be patient. The milk/yogurt drinks are great too.

  • Pros: Better than the other Indian/Pakastani place
  • Cons: Those manhattany-like prices

big fan of bombay talkie

by rochaf

i've never had a bad meal in my 30+ visits in the past 2 years. everything is delicious including the food.

i've read about "small portions" in some of these reviews - are these people giants? are their stomachs so big they need food for 3-4 normal size adults?

i always walk out feeling very satisfied with one appetizer (padhi chat) and one entree. i don't even eat the well-priced naan.

if you want to go to east 6th street for "real" cheap indian food, go for it. no one asked you! it just leaves more room for people with good taste.

thanks bt. love it there!

  • Pros: imaginative menu
  • Cons: i eat too much

The Details on Bombay Talkie

The Extras:

You won't find any freezer-burned mango ice cream here. Try the divine tapioca, swirled with berry compote and coconut flakes.

What to Drink:

The Toofan mixes mint, pomegranate juice, vanilla rum, Cointreau and champagne--and still manages to be light as air.
