What a wonderful discovery. I had the pleasure of dining here tonight and was guided by Deep, the new owner of the location. This was truly an eye opening experience. I really enjoyed the aromatic and beautiful flavors of northern India. I can’t wait to go back for more discoveries.

I have driven by this place a million times and always wanted to try it. Finally had it for the first time tonight.I had the vegan chana saag with some naan and it was amazing. The gentleman that worked there was kind and articulate and took the time to explain the dishes.

The food is really good, and if you ask for the food to be spicy they will make it spicy… like the perfect amount of heat. The staff there is very courteous and friendly.

Was really in the mood for good Indian food. Decided to give this restaurant a try. We have our favorite go to but read good things about Bollywood. When we first walked in I thought I should leave, the restaurant was empty and that kind of scared me. We decided to stay and we were were so happy we did. The owner and his son were so friendly made us feel like old friends, even took us in the kitchen to see the tandoori oven and how the naan is made. Food was Excellent. My husband, daughter and myself moaned over everything. A little more pricey then we are used to but worth it. Food was fresh and delicious.A lot of out going orders. We will be returning.

Awesome food and even more amazing staff! The owner and his son made personalized recommendations and checked in with us before and after the food got to our table. I love that they clearly say what’s vegan, vegetarian and meat. To top it off, it’s BYOB!

One of the most amazing North Indian food I have had in a long time!!! Each dish was unique, flavorful, without being overbearingly spicy. We loved the ambiance of a quaintly lit outdoor tent with bollywood music playing in the background. Service was impeccable! We cant wait to be back soon!! Must try if you love Indian food!!!!

I’ve been eating Indian food for more than 40 years . . . so I know what I’m talking about. Bollywood Bistro is in the top tier of Indian restaurants. It’s food is fresh and tasty, meticulously prepared, and frequently creative. The owner, Deep, is hands-on.
