Oye Bombay

Indulging at this gem in Altona, I discovered a butter chicken that's simply unparalleled. The chicken, enveloped in a smoky, mouthwatering gravy, was an exquisite delight. Venturing further, the Goan fish curry tantalized my taste buds with its sheer deliciousness. What truly caught my attention was the array of freshly baked naans, a rare and delightful treat. The ambiance exudes warmth and the staff's friendliness adds to the welcoming aura. A dinner here isn't just a meal; it's a journey into culinary bliss.

Oye Bombay is worth a visit. Food: we ate a 3 course meal, starting with Samosa Chaat and a small mix veg sizzler. The portion size of the starters was very generous. I've posted a video of the sizzler. The hara bhara kebab was top quality! About the Samosa Chaat: 2 Samosas served were massive and very filling and yummy. In the main course, we ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. I've never had a paneer tikka masala so good! The spoon just slid through the paneer and melted as soon as it sat on the tongue. Super fresh paneer! The Butter Chicken was equally good! Authentic restaurant style butter chicken with small bite sized, perfectly cooked chicken pieces. If you're a fan of Paneer and butter chicken, you have to try these dishes. Very generous portion size and beautiful presentation! We ordered an onion salad as well, and again very generous portion size, presented with care by adding flavours of vinegar and green chillies sprinkled with red chilli powder. Even the onion salad was yum! In dessert, we ordered the Pista kulfi, which was alright and nothing fancy. But the presentation was Top Class! Thanks to the chef for a gorgeous dinner meal. We came home with a box full of Paneer and can't wait to eat this again at home! Service: We were served by the Owner herself, who recommended the Paneer Tikka Masala. She was friendly and super responsive. Food was served perfectly on time. Only recommendation is that they should clear the table after appetizers before bringing out the mains. Atmosphere: very authentic Indian decor and quite cool! Could have added to the theme by playing music suiting the theme. We will be back! This place needs another visit 😁

I got food taken away and ordered a veg biryani (tasteless), cheese garlic naan (barely any cheese and very thick and dry), veg jafrezi (which was sweet-pretty sure this is not how it’s made in Mumbai), and chilli garlic potatoes (French fries with chilli garlic sauce on top!). The food was nowhere close to Mumbai! If not change the taste of food, they should at least change the name of the restaurant!

Oye Bombay is my local, I have never ever had a bad experience with their food or the service. The owners are absolutely lovely and will always provide you with a smile! I would highly recommend their fish / seafood dishes. You struggle to find a place with fish that’s fresher! For your vegan friends, they are one of few places in the west with good quality vegan dishes!

Ordered food for take away, I must say it was very nice and authentic. Only real gripe I had was that menu was a little outdated online and came up to pay was alot more than I originally intended, I did keep in mind that it could happen but I didn't think it was almost $15 difference than anticipated but I do understand that prices do increase but they were heftier than expected also they told be it would be a 40 minute wait and it became more than an hour wait, I mean that's fine but let me know and I would of accepted it, but I arrived after 45 minutes waiting at home thinking it would be well and truly ready and had to wait an extra 20 plus minutes, and no apologies, sought of bought it down, but luckily the food was great it made up for it a little. I will be back but at least I would know what to expect for money and waiting time. ALSO TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF THE NEW UPDATED MENU,, As they had no takeaway menus, which I noticed it becoming a norm these day with continuous price changes happening.
