I like Indian Cuisine but it’s not something that I crave
for every now and then. It’s not my comfort food either and the husband doesn’t
really fancy spicy food. But when I crave for some Indian food it’s that type
of craving where I MUST HAVE INDIAN FOOD RIGHT NOW. Once or twice a year at
most, we go to an Indian restaurant to curb my craving.
New Bombay is one of our trusted restaurants when it comes
to Indian food. I haven’t really been to a lot but having dealt with Indian
bosses in the past, I have somehow had a taste of the authentic and they agree
as well that New Bombay is not a bad choice.
It was a late night weekend craving that the husband
willingly gave into so we found ourselves in BGC. Good thing New Bombay is open
until around 12am I guess during weekends. We settled but we always have a
problem with their blue lighting. I don’t like it.
We checked their menu and
decided to get the following ---
 |
| Chicken Tikka Masala for 265Php |
My choice of dish for the night paired with Cheese Naan.
Masala is a mix of spices. There’s no particular recipe for it. They generally
call any mix as Masala. This dish had tender pieces of boneless chicken that
were grilled in a thick tomato based sauce with an exotic masala. It was topped
off with grated cheese. The sauce had a strong smell of spices and when you
taste it, it will wake up your senses. It’s silky and smooth and creamy. I
opted to get a mildly spicy version so that it wouldn’t be pain for the hubby
but I would say that a really spicy one would be the top choice. Also loved the notes of cilantro in this
dish.

| Mutton Curry for 265Php |
This was husband’s choice of dish which he also paired with
Cheese Naan. Mutton is practically the meat of an adult sheep and the term
refers to the meat only and not the living animal. This dish was made up of
tender chunks of mutton in a thick tomato based sauce with onion gravy. It’s
then topped off with more onions! We asked for a mildly spicy version again and
I would say that I liked this dish more. Maybe it’s because of the meat. The
meat was more flavorful and went well with the strong spices.
 |
| Cheese Naan for 95Php |
The warm Naan with gooey cheese inside was the perfect pair
for our dishes. It held the sauces well. Loved the bite and the chewiness of
the naan and we even ordered some extra for take out!
Overall, it was an okay dining experience. My only problem
was the service. The servers were not as attentive. The lady who served the
dishes to us didn’t seem to be in a good mood. She wasn’t so careful in serving
the dishes to our table creating loud “bang” sounds each time. Also, I don’t
think it would hurt so much to serve with a smile.
4 Stars for the food, 3 Stars for the Service!
