Many people associate the word spicy with curry. Although the
portrayal is partly true since no other food is so inextricably linked
with aroma and flavor of exotic spices than the Indian cuisine. The
word curry is often used while describing Indian food. Therefore, it
becomes important for us to explain what the word curry means. Bombay
Mahal uses the word curry for its sauces containing basic spices.
To define "curry" however is another matter, this word which has no
direct translation into any of India's fifteen languages is English in
origin. The word usually describes limited combinations of spices used
to flavor food in the Indian manner.
Bombay Mahal's menu is a balanced mixture of entrees from various
regions of India. The regional styles of cooking are mainly dictated by
geographical factors such as proximity to the sea and the produce
grown in the particular terrain.
Bombay Mahal welcomes you to a taste of the East!

Delhi Darbar
The Tandoori style of cooking comes from the Northwest frontier (now
called Pakistan) and it is so called because of the clay oven, the
Tandoor, in which meat, chicken, and fish are cooked. All meals are
marinated in complex mixtures of spices and yogurt and then cooked in
the Tandoor. The Tandoor is a pit clay oven which burns on charcoal-
because of its shape it cooks meat evenly and enhances the flavor.
