   One of the worst meals in a supposedly fine dining Indian. The fish curry was absolutely tasteless without any flavours. The rice was cold and hard. The Tawa crab was swimming in tomato sauce. Would never go back

   We were a group of four and had a reservation for 18.30 on a Tuesday in December 2024. We were allocated a table on the ground floor next to the reception desk. The food was very nice, none of our party commented the food was outstanding just very nice. The Staff were friendly and waiting staff attentive and our food arrived promptly after ordering. The downside to our visit was the matter the restaurant added a £30 cover charge which was not explained to us and nor is the cover charge mentioned in the restaurants T&C's (which was checked) so it came as a total surprise to learn a £7.50 per person charge is added to customer bills along with a discretionary service charge.

   The food was very good, however I wasn’t impressed with the service. This is was a birthday celebration and Bombay bustle did nothing to make the birthday celebration special. Most restaurants give a complimentary cake/dessert. I’m quite disappointed with the staff and didn’t find them helpful. But the food was very nice.

   There was a hair in my food. The temperature of the restaurant was far too cold, and nothing was done about it despite me asking for the aircon to be lowered on three separate occasions. I won’t be returning.

   The food was awful, it seemed to have been cooked previously and then nuked. The food has deteriorated significantly from my last visit 6 months ago . I have heard from friends who live in London that they have had similar experiences with poor food .

   Short answer - I wouldn’t go again. Long answer - We went there for our anniversary dinner but it wasn’t something very special from a restaurant where prices are more compare to the restaurant that are Michelin. And then we ordered food, out of which Dabba dal was not fully cooked (though it’s written as Overnight cooked, but I don’t believe that as if something been cooked over night - it wouldn’t be half cooked or something you cannot eat). We reported this and they said - we can offer you some other dish but we cannot do anything about this. I expect If I am paying that much money at restaurant, the main chef can do anything within no time to show they care for customers. Also, as I mentioned its my anniversary, when I ordered the deserts, they just added the complimentary candle on top of that. I was just laughing, like you don’t have to go to Michelin restaurants to get something special on your special evening but anyways, I think that’s why Bombay Bustle is not Michelin and I did a mistake by assuming that it will be similar experience to Jamavar which is not the case. I am disappointed and not going again.

    An alarm went off every few minutes and the power went out 5-6 times throughout dinner. These things happen but it was all very chaotic and the food was ok but didn’t make up for the drama. Staff didn’t know what to do either. All very average.
