" The Butter Chicken I had at Bollywood Bistro was unique and packed with flavor. I ate there with friends after a long day of classes and we were all rejuvenated by the delicious meal. The prices are very student-friendly, and the service was quick, which made it perfect for our busy schedules. I would definitely recommend it for anyone craving good Indian food on campus! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Bollywood Bistro was simply delightful! From the friendly staff to the delicious food, everything was spot on. It’s amazing how they can serve such authentic dishes at reasonable prices. I order the Biryani nearly every time because it's just that good. The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot to catch up with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Bollywood Bistro was an interesting experience. On one hand, I appreciated the friendly staff and the quick service. The food, however, was not up to my expectations. I ordered the Paneer Butter Masala, which tasted a bit off and the portion left me wanting more. The atmosphere felt casual, but lacked the warmth I prefer in a restaurant. It's a convenient choice for students, but I might not rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place, especially with all the great reviews but I left a bit disappointed. The Chicken Tikka Masala was good, but it lacked some of the punch I expect from this dish. Portions were decent yet I felt that for the price, there could’ve been a bit more food on the plate. The service was friendly, but I had to wait quite a bit despite not being crowded. I might try it again but won't be in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)

" A decent spot for Indian food, but it has room for improvement. The food is satisfactory and the service is good. I had the lamb curry, and it had good flavor but I expected more depth and seasoning in it. Maybe I’ll give it another try, but it wasn't exactly memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I popped into Bollywood Bistro for a quick lunch and loved the vibe right away! The ambiance was lively, filled with Bollywood music, and the staff greeted me with big smiles. 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*)
