What to Avoid (7)

Food 6

24K gold dal makhni Net −1

“24 karat Daal Makhni: The daal makhani was also not that tasty. Any ordinary run of the mill Indian restaurant in Dubai can serve better daal makhani than this. Even my economy class emirates flight to Mumbai has better tasting authentic daal makhani than this. It is downright gimmickry that you put a gold leaf strand on this to sell this tasteless buttery trash.”
Aloo tiki Net −1

“The vegetarian appetisers (especially the Paneer Bai Bun) and mains were very good with the exception of the aloo tiki.”
Angara paneer Net −1

“Angara Paneer: The angara paneer appetizer was also just plain round portions of tandoori paneer with no taste to it - the achaari favor did not come out at all. The beetroot pachadi that was served along with it did not pair well.”
Deconstructed samosa chaat Net −1

“Deconstructed samosa chaat: This is Taj’s version of a basic trio of samosas with ketchup ( yes !! Ketchup) along with one lone samosa that had some sprinkling of sev and dahi on it. Seriously ? Is this a joke ? Take a look at even the most basic chaat restaurants in Dubai like Mr. Chaat roadside eatery opposite Burjuman metro and they do a better job of this at a fraction of the cost. This kind of presentation with no class, finesse, or innovation with a price that is 10 times higher is a slap on the face of the customer.”
Non vegetarian set menu Net −1

“My spouse and I ordered a vegetarian and one non vegetarian set menu to taste as many dishes as possible. The service and style is impeccable. The setting is great. The food though ranges from just ok to middling good. The vegetarian set menu was way better than the non vegetarian one.”
Malai kofta Net −2

“Malai kofta: It was a disgraceful attempt at a genuine malai kofta - the taste was off with some spice that was overpowering. Absolute piece of trash.”

Drinks 1

Warm mango lassi Net −1

“Didn’t even eat, had to walk out straight away after they served a warm mango lassi…!”

The Bottom Line

Bombay Brasserie is an Indian hotel restaurant in Business Bay with an open kitchen, a polished dining-room feel and, from some tables, a Burj Khalifa view. The menu spans classic dishes and more distinctive choices. Reviews specifically mention butter chicken, Bamboo biryani, freshly baked naan and the chef’s tasting menu, while the vegetarian set menu received particularly strong praise from one diner.

Service is a major part of the appeal. Many guests describe the team as warm, knowledgeable and attentive, with celebratory pastries, cakes and complimentary touches sometimes added to the experience. The setting can work for birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings or business meals, and live sitar, singing or brunch entertainment appears in some visits.

There are meaningful caveats. Pricing is high, with one review estimating about AED 400 for two, and several diners felt portions or presentation did not justify the cost. Food feedback is uneven: some call it outstanding, while others found dishes basic, tasteless or poorly cooked.

Service and booking problems have also been reported, including a missing reservation, appetisers taking over 45 minutes and loud background music. Reserve ahead and request a view seat if that matters. For lunch, confirm kitchen hours before booking a late meeting.
