I’m about to start getting emotional writing this review because Ive been coming to Bombay Sweets for ages and it really has stayed the best Indian food I have ever had in my entire life like ever since I moved out of Houston it has been a constant struggle trying to find ANYTHING that compares and I only get to have Bombay Sweets once a year or less now. I’m not even kidding you Ive tried sooooo many other places in Houston, NYC, various other cities, and even most recently a trip to INDIA itself and NOTHING came close. I’m dead serious. I have to talk about the two stars of the show that drive my passion for Bombay Sweets: the Saag Paneer and the Garlic Naan. Starting with the Saag, this quite literally tastes like a dish produced on another planet. It is unbelievable and it shocks me every single time I come here and eat it. The flavor is unmatched, it is so deeply layered and you can really taste the spinach alongside the spices and chili, but there is just something extra in here that I cannot explain that pushes this into otherworldly territory. The paneer just completely melts in your mouth and I literally cannot leave the restaurant without ordering 2 days worth of it to-go. There is not a single place that has even come close to the level of flavor provided here and the fact that it has stayed consistent for so long is just really impressive. Now the Naan here is also the best I have ever had, I mean do I need to even say anything just LOOK AT THE PHOTO. WOW. It’s huge, the outer edges are thick and fluffy, the inside is thin and crisp, and the toppings here really set this to the next level. I would say that I could come here and just order 4 naans as my meal but there’s absolutely no way I’m coming to Bombay Sweets and not ordering the Saag Paneer but yes this Naan is that good. I swear it needs to win some awards or something. The other dishes are good too, this time we also ordered the Paneer Makhani and Baingan Bharta which both were stellar, plus some Pani Puri for the appetizer which was refreshing. Shout out one more time for the Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan because I’m not exaggerating when I say that every other Indian restaurant I go to all I can think about is whether this will be up to par with Bombay Sweets or not.
Absolutely loved our experience at Bombay Sweets Houston! The food was delicious from start to finish. The gobi paratha was perfectly spiced and comforting, the paneer kulcha was soft, flavorful, and stuffed just right, and the chole bhature tasted authentically North Indian with rich, bold flavors. But the highlight was their malai tooda — so fresh, creamy, and absolutely irresistible! It truly tasted like a dessert made with love. Great service, great portions, and amazing flavors. A must-visit spot in Houston for anyone craving real Indian comfort food!
