I never write reviews but....
I ignored all the signs that I should not have ordered from Bombay Hut in Waldwick, NJ. I happened to pull into the strip mall to make a phone call and noticed the restaurant. I thought, “I haven’t had Indian in a while, let’s give it a try.”
First sign: I was the only customer in the restaurant. I excused it, thinking maybe it wasn’t lunch or dinner time.
Second sign: The young girl behind the counter took my order and payment while sitting down, rushing me by saying I had less than 5 minutes to order the lunch special.
She told me it would be about ten minutes, so I waited outside. After fifteen minutes, I noticed a brown bag sitting on the counter. Since I was still the only customer, I asked if it was mine. She said, “You’re good to go.”
Well, it wasn’t so good. Back at the office, I opened the bag to find chicken instead of the lamb I ordered. The “lunch special” that supposedly comes with a salad and bottled water had neither. And the portion? Four tiny pieces of chicken. A coworker eating chicken wings next to me actually compared his one wing to my entire “entrée” — he had more meat.
And all of this cost me $18. For that price, you’d expect at least a proper portion and the order done correctly. Instead, I was left with a sad brown bag and a laughable excuse for a meal.
I immediately called the restaurant, and that’s when it went from disappointing to absurd. The same young woman answered and told me she didn’t remember my order because they had “quite a few customers.” (I was literally the only customer.) When I explained I was given the wrong protein and barely any of it, her reply was that “that’s the norm” — and she seemed confused as to why I was even calling.
The entire experience was insulting. From the empty restaurant, to the dismissive service, to the wrong and pitifully small meal, to the non-existent customer service — it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.
Final verdict: Don’t waste your time or money at Bombay Hut. $18 should buy you a meal, not a bad joke. There are plenty of places that value their customers and serve actual portions. This is not one of them.

I decided to stop in at this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I parked in the small plaza parking. I walked into a cute restaurant! I was helped and greeted by Neha the owner and she was great! I ordered:
Manchurian Shrimp (gravy)
Chicken tikka naan
chicken madras
Dahi kebabs
Szechuan hakka noodles
rice pudding
My favorite dish was the hakka noodles and I also loved the naan! All in all it was a good experience!

This place is an explosion of Indian flavors! The quality and richness in all menu make you come back again and again! My favorites are Chicken Biryani and Butter Chicken with the Cream Cheese Naan. And don’t forget the delicious desserts as Rice Pudding! The place is also very clean and welcoming in the meantime you wait for your order. Customer service is amazing and make sure to provide the best in every order!
