Bombay Eats (formerly Bombay Wraps) 8.0
Lakeview East
Bombay Eats’ Lakeview storefront turns chicken tikka, lamb curry, and paneer into wraps, bowls, and burrito-style “BombayRitos” built for fast meals and delivery. It’s the neighborhood move for quick, under-$15 Indian flavors with consistent execution and plenty of vegetarian options.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken Tikka + Roll, Cheese Paneer + Bowl, Messy Samosa Fries
Scores:
Value: 8.7 Service: 7.7 Consistency: 7.9 Food Quality: 8 Atmosphere: 6.2 Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: Fast-casual wraps, bowls, and burrito-style Indian plates built for speed.
Who should go: Lunchers and commuters needing Indian flavors in under 20 minutes.
When to visit: Midday or early evening for the quickest in-and-out experience.
What to order: Chicken tikka roll, cheese paneer bowl, messy samosa fries.
Insider tip: Use bowls over wraps if you want a lighter, more vegetable-forward meal.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Broadway and nearby side streets; metered spots can be limited during peak evening hours
Dress code: Casual — come as you are; workwear and everyday streetwear are common
Noise level: Low to moderate — counter-service environment where conversation is easy
Weekend wait: Usually no significant wait; brief line during peak delivery rushes
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; orders are prepared in 5–10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong selection — multiple paneer, chickpea, and vegetable options
Vegan options: Available — several bowls and wraps can be made vegan on request
Gluten-free options: Some items available as bowls instead of wraps; no dedicated gluten-free kitchen
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a formal date — it’s fast-casual, counter-service, and best suited for quick, low-key meals rather than lingered conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — reservations aren’t used here. Seating is limited but turnover is fast, and most guests order takeout or delivery.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — casual setup with quick service; simpler fillings and bowls work well for older kids, though there are no dedicated kids’ menus or high-chair amenities.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable Indian flavors with customizable wraps and bowls, strong vegetarian coverage, and reliable takeout and delivery execution
Skip if: You’re looking for a sit-down Indian restaurant with table service, slower pacing, or a broader regional menu
