Bollywood Bistro - Indian restaurant in Great Falls - 9853 VA-193, USA

I personally wouldn’t go to a restaurant named Bollywood if it were up to me. But since I was invited I went and gave it a try. I was conflicted to give 2 or 3 stars for this place . It’s Holliday season so I gave it 3. The bread was good and the margarita was ok too. The food was bellow the expectation. The atmosphere is also closer to a fast food joint than a real restaurant .

Top highlights: Ambience: although It was quite quiet at around 915 hours on a weekday, ambience felt lovely, with soft music and lights, it felt like a really nice place for dinner. Service: Servers were super nice and courteous. Promptly changed the dishes after our appetizer, re-filled the glass with coke. Taste: Another typical Indian restaurant when it comes to taste;tomato and cashewnut curry for paneer/kofta. Strong smell of cinnamon/ginger in Dal Makhani. Not bad at all. Naan was fresh from the oven. Timeliness: Food was served super quick, almost within 10 minutes of placing the order we got our food on the table. Overall, great ambience and service with decent taste. Would definitely recommend dine-in over pickup. Note- Coke was also served nicely in a separate glass with ice which is unlikely for an Indian restaurant where they generally handover a can of coke.

The food is amazing!!! The right amount of spice and really tasty! Atmosphere is really nice and staff and attentive and professional! We had lamb biryani, tikka masala, naan bread, samosa & allow tiki. Will definitely be back or order take away!!

5/5 for service. 5/5 for cleanliness. 4.5/5 for food. Amazing taste, would recommend it to anyone looking for good Indian food at reasonable price. Staff was really polite and attentive. Just felt that biryani was little bit tangy but it could be my personal bias. Would definitely visit again and recommend it to friends and family.

This was a true miracle of a find. I knew I was in the right place seeing so many Indian people in the parking lot. The food is unbelievable and delicious. They take special care to create an mazing experience for every customer. If you're looking for a delicious authentic Indian food, this is a spot you cannot afford to miss.

Some of the worst Indian food that I have ever tasted. I ordered a few things off the menu for takeout, just so I could get the full experience, and I was left sorely disappointed. 1) I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, a common dish at most Indian restaurants. I even made a note to make it spicy as I can handle it. Unfortunately, it was more like tomato soup with a few chunks of chicken. It had a sweet taste to it, somehow sweeter than butter chicken I've had at other restaurants. It also had a liquid like consistency, a far cry from the gravy like consistency it should have been. Avoid at all costs. 2) The paneer makhani was nothing to rwrite home about either. It looked the exact same as the chicken tikka masala, with a similar flavor, as if they just scooped the same sauce over and called it a whole new dish. 3) The garlic naan was hard. It seemed as if they had made it earlier in the day and decided to heat it up and serve it up for dinner. 4) If you have ever had mango lassi, you know the thick, creamy, flavorful drink that it should be. This was not that. It was water like, pointing to how dilute they made it. It was so dilute that you could taste the mango if you closed your eyes and really tried, the La Croix of mango lassi, just slightly essenced. 5) The Samosa and the tandoori chicken at this place were the only things palatable, but even then, very sub par and mediocre for the price. You can get the same flavor from frozen TV dinners. Overall, it is best to avoid this place at all possible. The food is a mockery of good Indian food and you'd probably be better off getting Indian food at a gas station.

Weeknight dining with two young kids (2 years and 4 months). Food was great and so was the service. Food came out super fast (sort of expected given our order but nonetheless great). Flavors were rich and fresh. We live nearby and walked (the two year old drove his power wheel and parked on the sidewalk) so we will certainly be back many times and add this to our takeout rotation!

Food was good but the hospitality from the woman who was present at the reception/ taking orders was so so rude to us. She’s taking away our plates though we are in middle of eating. She had this annoying expressions on her face throughout. We are paying for the food, very much disappointed.
