Our Guestbook
“ Wow! This place is a real hidden gem and one we’ll certainly be returning to when we next gig in Bedford. We booked in advance as we needed a table for eight scheduled for approximately 10.15pm. Despite it being late, they agreed to take our booking and fortunately we managed to arrive on time. The service was very friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely amazing with some interesting choices on the menu. We couldn’t have faulted the ambiance or anything else for that matter. Price wise they were very reasonable, especially as we are used to London prices. We will definitely be back! ”

“ We’ve not visited recently and I’m pleased to say that we were not disappointed when we visited last night. The food was up to its normal high standards and packed full of flavour. Couldn’t fault anything. Shish and his team were all on top form and made sure everything was ok. We are spoilt in Bedford as we have quite a few Indian restaurants to choose from but I personally believe New Bombay is up there with the best. Looking forward to our next visit soon. Cheers Nick ”
