  1. Alphonso shake Net −1
    “We also ordered Alphonso shake which I was told by owner it’s made by fresh fruit in evening - however since I am from Konkan, I can feel the taste (tangy/sugary) and I believe it was from Can Pulp 😑 (the one we get in Al Adil for 15 Dhs). So we felt misguided.”

The Bottom Line

Bombay Tonight is a Mumbai-focused restaurant in Oud Metha, with Indo-Chinese food and a Bombay-themed setting. It is worth considering when you want dishes that recall Mumbai street food rather than a generic Indian menu. The most consistently useful starting points are Shalimar-style Falooda, Khichda, Chicken Tawa Roll and Bombay-style kebabs.

The Falooda has especially strong feedback: one first-time visitor called it delicious, refreshing and worth the hype. Khichda is another recurring favourite, while the Chicken Tawa Roll stands out as a filling quick meal. Other reviews praise dishes including Mutton Korma, Butter Chicken, biryani, tandoori chicken and desi Chinese plates such as Triple Fried Rice, though individual experiences vary.

The atmosphere is warm and deliberately Bombay-inspired, with reviewers mentioning detailed décor, comfortable seating and even a “Bombay slang” section on the tables. Staff are often described as polite, attentive and quick, and a corporate Iftar for around 40 people was reported to run smoothly. Timing matters.

One weekend visit involved an 1-hour-20-minute wait, while another diner left after more than 15 minutes without being attended to. Go off-peak or ask about reserving dishes. Prices are described both as reasonable and, by some diners, high for the quality, so ordering selectively may be wise.
