Bombay Cafe is a small, casual cafeteria style restaurant serving Indian food and specializing in desserts. They have a small one-page paper menu for dine-in orders that includes a choice of lamb or chicken curry dishes and several vegetarian choices. There are a few things that set Bombay Cafe apart from other Indian restaurants: there is no lunch buffet; the curry dishes are relatively mild in comparison to other Indian restaurants; they serve sandwich wraps which is not a typical menu item of Indian cuisine; and their dessert menu is significantly larger than their menu of entrees. Meals are around $7 and you can buy desserts to go at about $5 per pound.

There is little-to-no ambiance to the Bombay Cafe. However the $6.95 fixed price meal is a good buy for a cheap, filling dinner. You chose 2 out of 6 curry dishes (one was lamb, two chicken and three veggie) which they serve to you over rice with bread on the side. A can of soda and a dessert is included in the price, as well as a samosa (which wasn't totally hot when we got ours) and a 'salad' (a few tomato slices over a few leaves of lettuce with a tiny bit of red onion). There is better Indian food in Herndon, but if you're on a budget this is the place for you.
