My husband and I went on a Wednesday and had a really bad experience with the food and the service. Even though it was not busy at all, we had to wait 10 minutes for our drinks and 35 minutes for our food. Two people sat down after us and got their burgers first. We had order a couple buffalo wings as appetizers but the came out with the food and they were really dry, overly salty and didnt really have the buffalo flavor at all. My husband had to wait 20 minutes for a refill on his coke. When I finally did get my burger, which I had asked for well done it was medium rare. I sent it back and politely explained that I cant eat medium rare meat. Now here is the part that really pissed me off. We could see the kitchen and the cook clearly from our table and I watched as my burger sat on the shelf for 5 minutes. I told our waitress again about it and she walked over and talked to the cook. I watched as the cook took my burger off the shelf, cut it in half and gave it back to her!! He did not put it back on the grill, not even for a second. The waitress came back and said he fixed it and when I pointed out it was still pink, she said "the lights make it look more pink than it really was" and walked away. I guess the think people are idiots here... I just asked for the check and puclshed the burger away. After 5 more minutes, the manager came over and I told him what happened. Overall, terrible experience and bad wings. The only reason why I gave them 2 stars instead of one is because my husband said his burger was decent and the manager had the decency to take my burger off the bill and give our sodas for free. Still, wasted an hour and a half of our evening and I walked away hungry.

Have tried many good East Indian/Nepalese eatery establishments in the Denver metro area. This one is outstanding. It has a Pakistani influence. The owners have been in Colorado for nearly 20 years. My wife had lamb tikka masala and I had bhindi masala. Both terrific examples to try when you order there. We also split a salad with the house yogurt dressing. The decor in the restaurant is very upscale and tasteful, with lots of design thought. On the northeast corner of Iliff and Peoria nestled between other establishments, an international market and a French bakery. Will return often!

The bartender was very nice and amazing drinks and customer service however after i got my cocktail .the wait staff was slow and when I first arrived she told the bartender she didnt t have another table ...umm hello I was standing right there like she didnt want to wait on me or my party how rude ... and i heard the bartender say yes u do its your job your a waitress,food was good but clearly some of there wait staff needs to be greatrul.they get work ..thus reason I didnt tip her ...

Nice bar with lots of live local music. I love that they allow groups (like the local artist collective, etc) to come in and perform. They have a solid line up of decent burgers and even have a buy one get one free burger night! Their beer selection is steadily getting better however Ive noticed that the lines arent being cleaned properly lately so I stick to the bottles... if theyd work hard at getting the beer situation right this would be one of my favorite spots!

We we thought that we were going to experience a really good time at Bombay Bar and Grill. We were very disappointed on the way we were treated after spending a large amount of. Especially by the owner behind the bar that evening asked his security guards to escort us out of the bar because I whistled on the Dance Floor. So whenever you walk in give it a big whistle.

The food was great but the service was less than stellar. I tip based on the drinks and was not pleased when I had to ask four times for water. Never got that water. Even though the waitress just got the job, the establishment could have done better to not set her to fail while serving a large party. Sit at the bar.

Terrible, I dont hate. Google choose those words. Nothing special about the food. Very small portions and the waitress was not the least bit surprised when I told her the beer tasted like some did their laundry in it. The band was putting me to sleep. No energy at all. Wont be going back.

So intensely amazing, posted some photos of the food words cant describe the delightful taste of this food. The vibe is spot on perfect and decor is simple and rustic with the best relaxing atmosphere ive been to in a long time. Looking forward to coming back.

Loved it! Went there for Sunday fun day to check out the band at 5pm. The food was great, the drinks were fantastic, people incredibly friendly, and servers were on point! Definitely going more often!

I love coming here for happy hour and brunch on the weekends (especially when the music is at a reasonable volume). The prices are fantastic, the food is awesome, and the service is great.

I hadnt been there in years. I should have stayed home. The back room was curtained off and empty. Only the the front of the bar was open. Crappy country music live band. Boring.

Cool place place to visit I came on a Saturday The crowed was in their 40s But the music was incredible 70s 80s Classics but with a funky twist It was very radical

The prices were kind of expensive but it tasted good. We went for Halloween to a show that was supposed to start at 9 pm but the band didnt play until 10:30 pm.

One of the best bars in Ventura County, great music, great staff and Diego is an amazing manager, no matter how busy it is he always has time to greet everyone

My friends and I went here this weekend for a little fun and we ended up hanging for another hour more than what we expected. The drinks here are amazing!

SERIOUSLY BEST BAR FOOD EVER. Bomb gourmet burgers, friendly staff and always great music playing..I can not wait to go back for another burger!

The food was salty and you dont get very much for the value. I didnt get a drink there, but I dont recommend going there for a gourmet burger.

Googled "places to watch NFL" and this place showed up. Sign said they opened @5pm on Mondays... by halftime (6:30ish) they were still closed.

Great food, good atmosphere, but you need to bring back, The House Arrest Band ", especially for the summer time. They aways pack the house!
