Food- 3/5Service- 1/5Location-4/5Cleanliness-1/5Price-3/5If you are craving for an Indian food, you may want to reconsider your options and try other restaurants. Their food is good but the service sucks. I didn't seem to understand why those staff waiters would not write down the orders if they can't memorize them. It only works on a fine dining restaurant. Well, if your staff has a good memory, then fair enough. But clearly, the answer is no. When we ordered, the waiter just listened to us. And when he tried to repeat it for me, he missed something and you have to repeat your order all over again just to make sure that he'll get it right. There's also this guy who's so annoying. He doesn't smile. He hated his job so much that he didn't bother to give us a poker face. He is also singing in the restau as if he's the only person in that restau. We didn't mind as we wanted to enjoy our dinner. Besides on the service, sanitation is my concern at this restaurant. The toilet is not clean at all. Better go to the mall restrooms. I wonder if they wash their cloth place mats on the dining tables? Because their dining style when we came in was the plates were turned down/reversed on those place mats. Why they even do that? On what purpose? It's not hygienic at all! Food- On the positive side, their Chicken Tikka Masala paired with Naan bread is delicious. However, the second Naan bread they gave us was burnt and you can really tell that it's not fresh and reheated only. I also recommend their Biryani and Tandoori Prawns.The location for me is pretty good because it's the nearest Indian restau in Makati area.Price is a bit expensive for an Indian food.As I've said, food is good but the service sucks. Food satisfies your inner 'Indian food lover' but the service is a no-no for me. Their cleanliness is also a major turn off for me. I hope this restaurant will improve in terms of service and cleanliness. And maybe one day, we'll come back and give this restaurant another chance.

I have visited Manila 4 years before and still I remember New Bombay. Before visiting Manila I made a list of Indian food joint in n around Makati City. But I really loved food of New Bombay. It seems to be little expensive when I compare price with India but I feel providing tasty Indian food outside India ,a little pricey is okayI miss their onion salad served with beautiful small lemon( similar kind not available in India)

The first thing hitting you when you enter is the pleasantly ornate ambience - the tables and chairs are gilded with faux gold, a TV screen is blaring Indian bollywood. The food choices come in a wide variety - you'd be lost if you're not acquainted with Indian cuisine.Had the Palak Paneer (PHP 295) and Chicken Tikka Masala (PHP 295), with rice (PHP 45) (bad idea, GO FOR THEIR BREAD AS SIDING). I like how you're asked for the spiciness level of the dishes. When they came out, the dishes were creamy and mellow. I liked a little bit more punch in my Indian food, but these will do for now.The huge drawback is the priciness of the place. Indeed, you will find this place unusually pricy for its fare. I think I would have loved this place more if the dishes didn't cost more than PHP 200.
