Welcome! Stepping into the vibrant world of Indian cuisine for the first time is an exciting adventure for your taste buds. Here at Bombay to Mumbai, we know the sheer variety of dishes, spices, and aromas can be both thrilling and a little daunting. That’s why we’re here to guide you. If you're wondering where to begin your culinary journey, we have the perfect starting point.

The All-Time Favorite: Butter Chicken

For a truly unforgettable first taste, we wholeheartedly recommend our Butter Chicken. This iconic dish is a global sensation for a reason. Imagine incredibly tender pieces of chicken, marinated in yogurt and spices, chargrilled in our tandoor oven, and then simmered in a rich, velvety tomato-based gravy. The sauce is a masterful blend of butter, cream, and aromatic spices. It’s smooth, savory, and incredibly flavorful without being overwhelmingly hot, making it the ideal introduction to the complexities of Indian flavors.

To complete this classic experience, you must have our fresh Garlic Naan. This soft, pillowy flatbread is baked to perfection in our tandoor and brushed with garlic butter. It's the ultimate vessel for scooping up every last, delicious drop of that creamy butter chicken sauce.

A Note on Spice

Indian food is famous for its heat, but you're in control! When you order, we'll ask for your preferred spice level. A quick word of advice: spice levels in an Indian restaurant can be a notch higher than you might be used to.

If you're new to the spice game or prefer less heat, we recommend ordering your dish mild. You'll still get all the rich, aromatic flavors. If you enjoy a bit of a kick, ask for medium spicy. It will have a pleasant warmth that beautifully complements the dish.

Ready for Your Next Adventure?

Have you already tried and loved Butter Chicken? Wonderful! Your next stop should be Chicken Tikka Masala. It’s another crowd-pleaser but with a slightly different flavor profile. The sauce is also creamy and tomato-based, but often has a more pronounced, complex spice blend with notes of onion and bell peppers.

Deliciously Vegetarian

We have fantastic options for our vegetarian guests as well.

For a creamy, satisfying dish that mirrors the experience of Butter Chicken, try our Paneer Makhani. It features soft cubes of Indian cottage cheese (paneer) simmered in that same luscious, buttery, and tangy tomato gravy.

Looking for another beloved classic? Our Chana Masala is a must-try. This hearty and flavorful curry is made with chickpeas simmered in a spiced onion and tomato gravy. It's a staple in Indian homes and a deliciously satisfying choice.

Your first time trying Indian food should be a memorable one. Come on down to Bombay to Mumbai, and let us introduce you to the magic of our cuisine. Don't hesitate to ask our staff for recommendations-we’re here to help you find your new favorite dish!
