Very nice little place. Food is quite authentic, tastes great and is very affordable. Great place to have lunch - at 7.50 CAD also probably one of the cheapest. Interesting and varied selection, although don't expect "american" dishes. Service is friendly, if a bit impatient. Overall I would definitely recommend Bombay Cafe if you love Indian food or even if... more
The decor is...modest, but the food is sublime. I have never had better Indian food, anywhere, and at such a reasonable price. Bombay Cafe is a surprising treasure in this little city. I will definitely enjoy eating here with more regularity.
Price was great about $20 to $30 cdn with wine! Regular locals came in when I was there, a good sign. Also, a couple of Indian decent told the owner they enjoyed their meal, another good sign. The owner said he was in business for about 20 years. Not too fancy but if you like Indian food you will like... more

If you like to eat the food your mother used to cook for you back in India or Pakistan, then thIs is the place to go!

The rice is light enough to float off the plate. The chicken tikka appetizer is as good as chicken can taste. A tiny restaurant, it also seems to have a highly varied and... more
I've only had the lunch special here, but it was fantastic. Lovely butter chicken done to any spicy-ness you like. It was a bit more tomato-y than a lot of butter chicken I've had, but still very good. Two vegetable curries. Rice. Naan. And a bit of custard for dessert. There's not a huge amount of each thing, but it's... more
I'm Indian and have lived in Guelph for 7 years. I've eaten in or had take-out from Bombay Cafe at least 30 times. The food is always fresh and excellent, and a wonderful value for the money. Eating in the place is quaint and small and nothing special. This is literally a Mom and Pop place (+ son), and the... more
