Clients Reviews

I love this place. I have been going here for years, ever since I was an undergrad student at UB. I still go here often even though I graduated in 2020. Couldn't recommend this place enough. It is also one of the most affordable places to eat on campus.

I’ve been a customer of Bollywood Bistro for two years now while I’m going to UB. Single handily the best food on campus, best flavor, best portion size for price, and best location to eat on Campus (has two big windows looking out at Lake LaSalle). The owner also pays attention to return customers, and knows my order by heart now. Lamb Biryani is my go to, Chicken Tikka Masala is delicious. I have nothing but good things to say about this place.

Nick S.

It is my favorite place to eat on campus, price is perfect. The table near window is such a pretty place to sit and enjoy your meal. When the campus closed for pandemic, I must say I did miss this. Combo meal is great, you get to chose 2 curries and feels like a complete lunch.

Pradeep V.

So to someone who doesn't eat this kind of food ever, I was a fan of what they had. Sure, I'm no expert, but the taste was good and I always have a weird craving for it. What really earned them 5 stars, however, was the customer service. Lost my keys there, and they held onto it for the entire winter break. The guy who mans the register even let me come back the next day to pay for a meal cause I forgot my wallet. Stellar man. They're honest, hard-working people.

David M.

Kind, accommodating people work here and it's one of the only places where I like to eat on campus. I eat plant-based and the options for good food I can enjoy is limited.. but here is one place I can always count on.

Dan K.

Outstanding, authentic food at a great price. Worth the visit to campus if you work nearby. Owner is extremely friendly. Will absolutely visit again!

Alec M.

Amazing food, and even better customer service I have been eating here for over 3 years now and have yet to have a bad experience
