" This is my third visit to Bollywood Bistro, and each time, I am more impressed. The consistency in their food quality is commendable. The tandoori chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, and the fresh naan is always a highlight. The ambiance remains lovely with a quaint vibe. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors; it’s a perfect spot for gatherings or casual dinners. The prices are reasonable, especially for the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Bollywood Bistro was underwhelming. I expected much higher quality given the many positive reviews. The food was fairly average with not much depth in taste; the butter chicken tasted more like a creamy tomato soup. Service was friendly, but I felt neglected at one point when I was waiting for my order longer than I should have. The ambiance was pleasant but didn’t redeem the lackluster food experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a series of wonderful experiences, I finally had a meal at Bollywood Bistro, and it was everything I hoped for! The flavors of the curries were vibrant and authentic, and the samosas were crispy and not overly oily. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the dining experience. The vibe of the restaurant was relaxed and cozy. I'm looking forward to my next visit; this has quickly become one of my favorite Indian restaurants in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my experience at Bollywood Bistro did not live up to the recommendations. The atmosphere was nice, but the food fell short of truly being authentic Indian cuisine. The chicken tikka I ordered lacked the traditional spices, and came off a bit bland, almost as if it was made for a general palate. The staff was friendly, but the service was slower than I would have liked. Disappointed, I doubt I will return anytime soon. I was hoping for a lively and flavorful meal and it didn't deliver. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Bollywood Bistro through a quick online search and was curious to see if it lived up to the reviews. I went with friends and we ordered a variety of dishes, including paneer tikka, and the butter chicken. The paneer was juicy and perfectly seasoned, but the butter chicken left much to be desired – it was lacking its signature flavor. The space was lively and decorated well, making for an enjoyable night despite some food disappointments. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Bollywood Bistro after hearing so many great things. When I went there, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which set a good tone for the meal. I ordered the prawns in garlic sauce and some lentil curry. The flavors were bold but a bit different from what I expected. The prawns were good, but the curry was quite bland compared to other places I've tried. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I think I might try another restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bollywood Bistro has some of the best Indian food I have ever tasted! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place for an intimate dinner. My meal was exceptional, especially the tandoori chicken. It had just the right amount of spice and was cooked to perfection. However, I was disappointed by the garlic naan as it was a bit tough and not as fresh as I expected. Overall, the experience was positive, and I would highly recommend it to anyone craving Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
