" Bollywood Bistro makes for a great campus eatery! I love how the place offers a variety of dishes for all pallets. I had the Chicken Biryani, which was aromatic and generously portioned. The service staff were friendly and quick. It’s a good go-to spot if you’re short on time but still want a filling meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first experience at Bollywood Bistro recently and it wasn't what I expected. The tikka masala lacked richness and the naan was not fresh. The service was acceptable but nothing special. Given the reviews I read, I expected a lot more. Maybe I’ll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Bollywood Bistro, I decided to try it with my friends. We all loved the flavors and the variety available. From North Indian favorites to delicious snacks, everything was on point! The Mango Lassi was a delightful refresher too. Although it was a little crowded, it didn’t take long to be served. I look forward to returning, especially for the buffet they mentioned! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Bollywood Bistro, my experience is delightful! The menu is extensive and every dish I've tried so far has been authentic and perfectly spiced. I particularly enjoy the Biryani; it’s a feast for the senses. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel at home. The seating area offers a nice view by the window, which adds to the wonderful experience. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Indian cuisine, I must state that Bollywood Bistro gets it right! The rich, fragrant spices in their curries were a treat for my taste buds. I specifically enjoyed the Navratan Korma which had a variety of vegetables cooked to perfection. I did find the seating somewhat cramped, especially during peak hours, but the delectable food made up for it. The service was generally swift and friendly, enhancing my dining experience.

Ordered the lunch special and it was reasonably priced with generous portions. The food tasted fresh and authentic, especially the samosas. It was a wonderful experience overall, perfect for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore Bollywood Bistro! The food is consistently good and the service is exceptional. It’s nice to have a place that offers reasonably priced Indian cuisine that feels authentic. I especially enjoy their lunch specials which allow me to sample a bit of everything. The atmosphere can get busy and loud, but that just adds to the fun vibe of the place! " (*Curated Review*)
