Description

Bombay Bungalow at Al Hamra Mall sits at the mall's central porch, a polished contemporary Indian restaurant that pairs bright, Bombay-café-styled interiors with a carte that reaches across regional Indian cuisines. The setting is comfortable for sit-down dinners and the location makes it an easy stop before or after a mall visit or cinema trip. The menu ranges widely. A strong tandoor programme turns out chicken tikka, kebabs and well-structured Mandi biryani (both mutton and vegetable), the North Indian curry section is where regulars focus the order, and vegetarian coverage is genuine - paneer kadai, vegetable kofta and dal mains hold their own against the non-veg selection. Fresh-baked naan and roti support the meal. Quality does swing - some guests report issues with under-cooked koftas, paneer preparation and the naan being rolled too thin on certain services - which suggests the kitchen's consistency is the soft spot. Service has also drawn mixed feedback. On good nights, named front-of-house staff give thoughtful menu recommendations and handle guests warmly; on bad nights, attentiveness slips. Pricing sits a step above the cheaper standalone Indian options in the emirate but below hotel-restaurant rates. For a mall-adjacent Indian dinner when in Al Hamra, it's a reasonable choice - particularly if the order leans heavily on the biryani and tandoor sections.

Dissatisfied. Whilst on holiday even though we were booked in a 5* hotel all inclusive decided to try out this restaurant. Whilst ambiance was good, the service was good but the main thing was the disappointment of the food. Ordered Paneer tikka as a starter, this came not properly marinated and quickly bbq’d. The paneer was cold inside.\nThe veg biryani was good but needed to be more spiced despite our request.\nThe veg kofta was really disappointing. Looked great on presentation but when cut the chickpeas flour used to bind the ingredients before frying the kofta were not cooked and raw.. finally, the naan bread was rolled so thin that when cooked in the tandoor was well cooked to the point when served it was like eating papadums. Price was not cheap too. Chef to take these constructive suggestions onboard for future clients.
