Bombay Express in Austin

Amazing Indian fast food esp the Bombay fast food. Their highlights are Pani Puri, Sev Puri, Pav Bhaji, Puri Bhaji/chole and esp the Bombay Sandwich. It’s 100% vegetarian and freshly made and tastes incredible. The taste is incredible. The prices are very reasonable and they also give you free bottled water which is amazing. Overall you will simply enjoy Bombay Express for lunch snack or dinner as the menu is varied and will keep you full and satisfied. Parking is aplenty and free. The smiling gentleman who takes your order is such a nice person as well that you feel so welcome. Nice ambience and nice food. Must visit for Austin and regulars.

I say this with absolute sincerity! I give this place a 20/10. $13-18/person The owner is such a sweet gentle man and I will dine here as long as I can. My car had some issues and he happily looked at it and told me exactly what I needed to fix. He also gave great recommendations and served us everything we asked for and then some more. The dosa was delicious. Nice. Crispy. Flavorful Puri Chole were great. We like it a little spiced and salted, so just added on top Idli was soft. Fresh. Sambar chutney were fresh. Samosa chat was good. The samosas by itself were delicious! The Bombay style grill sandwich was good. Maybe they can try adding a little more chaat/sandwich masala, but it was good. This is a business that I 10000% support!

We had the pleasure of celebrating my son Keshav’s birthday at Bombay Express in Austin, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped in, the exceptional customer service stood out. The owner went above and beyond to ensure our evening was special. The food was simply outstanding—authentic Indian flavors at their finest! Every dish was freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly spiced curries to the delicious appetizers and desserts, it was clear that a lot of care and expertise went into every plate. What truly made our evening special was the personal touch from the owner. He made sure we were comfortable, offered great suggestions from the menu, and served us with such warmth and attentiveness that it felt like dining with family. Bombay Express is now our go-to spot for authentic Indian food in Austin. If you’re looking for great food paired with top-notch hospitality, this is the place to be. Thank you, Bombay Express, for making my son’s birthday dinner so memorable!

A great no-nonsense homely Indian food place. Loved the delicious food and even better the hospitality of the owner. He went around each table offering water bottles and checking up on guests. Made our normal pit-stop experience into something so special. Even though hospitality is a big part of the Indian culture, it is rarely seen in the restaurant industry. Definitely recommend and we will return 👌👌👌

Place was neat and clean. Service was with a smile. We had brunch and ordered for 5 people. Food tasted fresh. Aaloo parathas were great and I made sure that it was with whole wheat aata and not maida. The owner confirmed that they use whole wheat for parathas and pooris and that is why they don't serve Bhatura but serve pooris instead. The food in the thali was great and fresh tasting, not too full of spices and not too spicy hot. Masala Chai and aaloo Tikki chat were also very tasty. Owner was friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience. Will definitely visit again.

Food was incredibly delicious and flavorful, and there were plenty of veggie & gluten free options! Service was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Austin, as there’s so many things on the menu to try!

Stopping by on a whim and ordered the Pav Bhaji and Pada Pav (never heard of these prior) with a mango lassi and masala tea. The food and drinks were fantastic. I don't know if he was the owner, but the guy working there was super friendly. Before we left we decided to get an order of Pani Puri to go. He ended up giving us a demonstration on how to eat it since we had never had or heard of Pani Puri before. Absolutely delicious. This will definitely be our go to for Indian food from now on.
