text: Visited on a Wednesday for the lunch buffet and arrived around am When my roommate and I first got there we were the only patrons there I thought perhaps we were early but throughout our meal only one other table with two customers were there and when they left a mother and daughter came in towards the end of our meal Our waiter was friendly he came to refill our waters twice Other than that we really did not see him I was a bit disappointed in the selection There were vegetarian vegetable options chicken options and a couple of of other things like soup potato wedges and rice pudding that was extremely soupy I am a vegetarian so I was already limited in my choices At one point I went back to get some more rice and the rice was never refilled so I was literally scrapping the bowl I mostly ate a dish with broccoli in a tomato sauce which was by far my most favored item on the days buffet menu While I did have an enjoyable time with my roommate my taste buds were not jumping for joy as I had previously imagined that they would I love Indian food but my experience at Bombay Grille was although not horrible was also not what I would envision as something to be repeatednnNormally at buffets I can usually eat between plates Their food was extremely heavy and could only eat one full plate After leaving the restaurant I took a nap and very long walk afterwards and I still was full to the point of being uncomfortable I am grateful that I did not have to work that day I would have been miserable I even thought that possibly they put heavy cream in their food but of course I am not in their kitchen so that will go unknown Food has never made me feel that way nnKey points that I was disappointed in weren Buffets usually have a great selection so that a person can sample several different dishes Bombay Grille failed heren Indian buffets usually have at least one dish with paneer Bombay Grille failed heren Indian buffets are supposed to have several different curry dishes mild medium spicy and different kinds of curry There was only one curry chicken dish FAILn Bombay Grille FAILed to refill the rice there were only people in there at any given time I would hate to see what the buffet would like after minutes if it was packed or even half way fulln Where were the spices It is bad enough that there was not any good curry or paneer but I could not taste any spices In my opinion this is an Americanized Indian restaurant I could not taste any pepper cardamon anise cumin cinnamon cloves saffron tamarind or turmeric FAILn Naan did not taste like it was homemade looked and tasted like store bought and it was plain they did not have garlic naan By the time I had some it was cold chewy and blah No ghee and naan No spices or raisin and naan NOT SATISFIEDn The price for the selection FAILnnThe decor is slightly plain the only redeeming quality was what I was craving for over a month since moving to Charlotte a Mango LassinnOverall I would not return to this restaurant the food quality selection and price were less than stellar I have heard great things about Passage to India in the University area and cannot wait to check it out
