If you are a true lover of Indian food, then Bombay Palace is just one of NYC’s best Indian restaurants you can find when it comes to authenticity. I would suggest that you initially check out their daily buffet ($13.95) for a large variety of vegetarian/meat dishes, appetizers, desserts, etc. The dishes are absolutely tasty, well seasoned, not extry spicy (you can actually enjoy the food) and the real deal. To compliment the delicious fare, you have the lovely staff, always amicable and eager (not overly) to make your experience at Bombay Palace memorable. I’ve been enjoying Bombay Palace for over 10 years now and when I was pregnant, craved it at least 4 times a week, hence my rapport with gracious host, Priti. You must introduce yourself to him (you might get a free Mango Lassi) and tell him that Kim sent you. I promise, you won’t regret it – and if you do, lunch is on me!
