Bombay Palace Indian Restaurant, Cork City, Cork Reviews
3.0 Bombay Palace Indian Restaurant 3.0 star review:
I am spending a lot of time in Cork on business lately and am working my way around the different restaurants. I love Indian food and have had good and bad experiences. I had been here about 2 years ago and recall it being ok. Was here on Tuesday 11th December. The atmosphere was cosy and the staff were very friendly and I was well looked after. I had chicken tikka for a starter but to be honest it was no better than takeaway quality (indeed I have had better takeaways). It looked as if it was re heated and despite its very buttery flavour was quite dry.
The main course, Lamb Karahi was flavoursome but again it wasnt spectacular by a long stretch. Presentation was poor. Overall however I would come back in the hope that it was a one off.

I went here with my partner as we love Indian food; we had read the reviews on menupages which were quiet good however on another website the reviews were pretty bad so we weren’t expecting much. Firstly they were a bit mean with the poppadum’s as we only had a half one each but the dips were tasty. We both ordered the Chicken Chilli Masala which was hot liked stated but it was also very tasty one of the nicest we have had with a long time. With the mains we had pilau rice that was ok it looked as if it had been reheated a few times; it was very dry but ok. We also shared a garlic, onion and coriander naan which wasn’t on the menu, they were more than willing to provide us with it and again I have to say it was the best naan we ever had it was stuffed with the 3 toppings which really brought out the flavour. The price was very reasonable and the service was good. On our next visit to Cork we will definitely come here again.

If you like Indian then this is the place to go in Cork! Ate here on a Saturday night. Shared an onion bhaji starter & ordered Murg Makhani & Chicken Malai. Food was great, good portions & so tasty. Bill came to €43 which I thought was extremely reasonable for the meal we had. Have gone there for takeaway since & wasn't disappointed.

Had quite a nice meal here. Complementary poppadoms were in fact a single complementary one, between two of us! Half a poppadom each must be the stingiest I've encounted in my life!
The onion bhaji starters though were very delicious - just the right balance between crispy and soft, and not in any way too greasy. The main courses were mixed reception. The prawn Jalfrezi was lovely - right amount of spice and meaty prawns. The bread and rice were very good, rice was fluffy and bread was great (again nothing greasy here). The veggie korma was ok but was loaded with green peppers that my partner was not that keen on. Overall a nice meal though and would go back.

Got a take out from there last night, getting the Madras Chilli Vegetable with the Peshwari nann and Raita.
It was beautiful! Tasted like an authentic indian meal.
I drove all the way from Glanmire to get the delivery on someone else's recommendation and I am so happy that I did. 5 stars!

It would be quite easy to bypass this restaurant as it's up a side street in Cork City. Having researched restaurants on MenuPages before visiting Cork, it was great to know in advance exactly where we were going. Enjoyed a delicious, beautifully presented and colourful meal. Restaurant was busy enough but we were left to dine at our leisure - no pressure put on us to leave, as can be evident in some restaurants. Service was very good and non-intrusive. Worth a return visit when in Cork again - would recommend other MenuPages members to give it a try.

Had a very enjoyable meal here last night. It's a cosy, pleasantly decorated restaurant. Didn't opt for the early bird as the choice wasn't all that exciting. Restaurant was quite busy considering it was the middle of the week, and there were a couple of Indian families dining at tables nearby. Service was very good - we were looked after by a charming and very pleasant young lady. Can't understand how MenuPages have this listed as a 'cheap eats restaurant' - our meal came to €82. That was for a starter platter for two, two mains, a beer, a soft drink, a bottle of wine and two coffees. Have no problem paying that much for a good meal regardless of the restaurant, but it does contradict the 'cheap eats' listing!

Brought my partner her for his birthday dinner - he's a huge indian fan so it was a big ask.
We had the assorted indian snacks to start - lovely but nothing special. For our mains my partner had the chicken vindaloo and I had the Saag paneer. We both asked for ours spicy or extra spicy (in the case of my partner). Both meals were very tasty and quite spicy - just enough though. The saag was wonderful and you could taste the spinach. I did not taste the vindaloo as I can't stand that level of spice but my partner was very very happy with it. We had a bottle of liebframilch and it all came to 60 quid - great value for money and a great meal, will definitely be back again.
