If you're vegetarian, or the one veg diner in a group of meat-eaters, the real question is simple: is there actually enough for me here? At Bombay Kitchen the honest answer is yes, with one thing worth being upfront about.
Veg-friendly, and honest about it
Bombay Kitchen is not a pure-veg restaurant. It's a multicuisine kitchen where veg and non-veg are cooked side by side, and that's exactly why it works so well for mixed groups.
The vegetarian selection is a real part of the menu, not a token dish or two. So if you eat veg and your friends want biryani, nobody has to pick a different place.
Paneer and veg starters from the tandoor
The tandoor doesn't only turn out chicken. Paneer tikka is the standout veg starter, marinated paneer cooked in the clay oven for a smoky edge, and it makes an easy sharing plate to open a meal.
It's a good sign of how the kitchen treats veg: off the same tandoor, given the same care as the rest.
Veg biryani and North Indian veg classics
Vegetarian biryani lovers aren't left out. Veg biryani brings the same fragrant rice and spice to a meat-free plate. Round it out with familiar North Indian veg curries like paneer butter masala, dal and mixed veg, plus fresh breads from the tandoor.
Together that's a comforting, complete veg meal that holds its own next to anything else on the menu.
Veg Indo-Chinese for the table
When the craving turns saucier, the Indo-Chinese section has a full veg side: chilli paneer, veg manchurian, hakka noodles and veg fried rice.
These are the shareable, crowd-pleasing plates that make a group dinner fun, and they keep the vegetarians at the centre of the order rather than the edge of it.
Good value, open every day
All of it sits on Bombay Kitchen's usual budget-friendly footing, around Rs 350 for two, with the restaurant open every day on Park Street near Gandhi Park.
Dine in, or order veg dishes home through Zomato, Swiggy or magicpin. The veg side of the menu gets the same attention as the rest.
