The Bottom Line

Bombay Bites is an Indian restaurant in Al Mankhool with a clear Mumbai and Maharashtrian street-food angle, plus Indo-Chinese and broader Indian dishes. The strongest reason to come is the vada pav: several customers say it tastes close to what they had in Mumbai. Shev puri, dahi puri and onion bhajiya also receive specific praise.

The menu stretches beyond snacks. Reviews mention chicken lollipop, Drums Of Heaven, chicken tikka masala, dosa with paneer and cheese, filter coffee, dal khichdi and a Gujarati thali. A buffet visit found impressive variety from starters to desserts, while other diners describe the food as affordable and homestyle.

Seating and ambience range from simple street-food style to a more spacious, comfortable restaurant setting. Service is the main uncertainty. Some customers report quick, friendly attention, but others waited 10–20 minutes or much longer, and several delivery orders contained missing or incorrect items.

Food quality is similarly uneven: standout tikka, dosa and street snacks sit alongside complaints about bland misal pav, reheated breakfast items, cold rotis and, in one case, spoilt samosas. For a first visit, go for the Mumbai snacks, clarify spice levels, and check takeaway orders against the invoice.
