Bombay Club Restaurant

I can't imagine that there is a restaurant in DC that hasn't hosted a senator or congressman at some point. Anyway, they are pretty excited about it (they have the excerpt from his book on the wall). The Bombay Club is a good Indian restaurant in downtown DC. Although the experience seemed high end, the prices were on par with other Indian restaurants. The service was friendly and attentive, although I did get a quizzical look when I ordered my dish 'spicy'. The food was good but not standout. The dal was clearly the standout of the evening. The menu featured dishes from a number of different regions within India. The interior decor was more colonial India than traditional, which seemed to suit DC just fine. Anyway, great restaurant & worth checking out. more

I am Indian and so I speak with some authority on Indian food. The Bombay Club is the WORST Indian food in the city. Yeah - there are bad places here but none have the high prices that the Bombay Club has coupled with terrible food. The food is definitely made for non-Indians - no spice, no taste and no authenticity. The worst part about the restaurant is the atmosphere. You feel like you are back in British India - which is highly offensive. more
