   We had an enjoyable evening. A little pricey. Some dishes were really good and others were not.

   You will not be disappointed if you dine at Bombay Brasserie for brunch. The dinning room is stunning and the staff is welcoming and inviting. The menu has a variety of options and the 3-course brunch is great value. We started our culinary journey with a Bombay Spritz and a Paan cocktail. Both were excellent. For starters we ordered the Avocado Bhel and the Coconut Shrimp. The Bhel was incredible, the blending of the spices with the ingredients makes this dish an must try. The Coconut Shrimp were crispy and cooked to perfection, don't forget to add the chili sauce to the shrimp. For our entrees we had "Our Chicken and Waffle" and Chicken Biryani. The waffle took the traditional fav and elevated it to a whole new level with Spicy Fried Chicken and the Dosa waffle. The Biryani, was one of the best we have had outside of India. We also tried the Naanza, which a a great treat! To end the amazing meal we ordered the Crepe and Carrot Halwa Tart. The crepe was so silky and the flavors warmed the palate. The tart with its sweet and creamy textures was a great way to end a fabulous meal. What truly made the experience great was how the staff continually checked on our table to make sure we had everything we need to enjoy our meal. Chef Thomas came by our table several times to check on us as well as the other dinners in the restaurant. This small gesture by the Chef made us feel like we were the only dinners, even though there were other tables. Do not pass up on the chance to dine at Bombay Brasserie.

   Bombay Brasserie offers a refined take on Indian cuisine, blending authentic flavors with a modern, elegant setting. The food is rich and flavorful — highlights include the butter chicken and lamb rogan josh — and the service is warm and attentive. A great spot for a special night out.

   Expected the same high quality and great tasting food as in their London location. However while the ambience was terrific, the quality of ingredients good, the taste of the food was average to disappointing. Can do way better in a hole in the wall place in Fremont or from one of the food trucks. Particularly when you consider the very high prices, I would recommend against to this restaurant.

   The service was awfully slow and inattentive. Very uncharacteristic of a restaurant inside a Taj hotel. General food quality was good; however, the Kulfi dessert appeared to be stale. In fact, some of the pieces of nuts on the kulfi were rancid. The kulfi itself was very gritty and appeared to be in the freezer for a verrrry long period before serving. We had dinner as well as breakfast at the restaurant. The service was slow at dinner but was at a snail's pace during breakfast. We were hurrying to get to our flight in the morning and the completely unexpected long delay added significantly to our disappointment. We were told by the wait staff that they are very busy; which may be understandable as there were only two active waiters. The restaurant appeared to be half-empty; however. The overall service level left a lot to desire; especially at a Taj. Taj calls itself the "strongest hotel brand". The level of services we experience in India compared to what we faced at the Bombay Brasserie was night and day apart. Management needs to focus on this issue in an expeditious manner; if Taj wishes to preserve its image. The Taj in the US is no better than any other dining establishment.

    Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at Bombay Brasserie. Excellent service and a unique fusion of Indian food with French inspiration.
