“ Discovered this little gem recently. Have ate here 6 or 7 times and tried different dishes. The staff are 10/10 friendly and accommodating. Just a chill vibe and really relaxing atmosphere. Special shout out to Nikhil our favourite who is the bubbliest person. Exceptional ”
“ This has been our go to place for takeaways for quite some time. After the lockdown being lifted, we thought to venture out and try their food at the restaurant itself. I have to say, they didn't disappoint us a bit. If you're looking for some authentic Indian flavours then I would recommend to try out them, their cuisine has improved a lot from when we started. Needless to say, after getting a pint from the next door Riverforest pub, Bumbai Creative is where I would go after. Try their Tilapia fish curry with rice, great combo. ”
