Bombaywalla – Indian Street Kitchen – 186 West Regent St, Glasgow, G2 4RU
Closed on Mondays, Bombaywalla is otherwise open daily from 11.00, and most importantly for Curry-Heute, does not close mid-afternoon. A – BYOB – system is in operation, with no corkage charge.
When Babu gave up the basement premises, just off Blythswood Square, known a Babu – Bombay Street Kitchen to become peripatetic, in stepped Sijin, and having transformed the layout, rebranded as Bombaywalla – Indian Street Kitchen.
In addition to superb South Indian, Curry, Bombaywalla also serves an array of – small plates – and snacks – Streetfood. Curry has been the focus of Hector’s attention. Curry at Bombaywalla is not for the faint of heart, the powerful South Indian – Smokiness – allied to a level of Seasoning that even Hector considers to be – brave – creates a distinctive taste experience. Whilst Spice Levels may not be OTT, the Curry at Bombaywalla takes no prisoners.
Lamb Sukka, a dry Chettinad in effect, proves that this type of Curry does not have to be served – soupy.
For those seeking more Masala, Lamb Kolhapuri and Seabass Malabar provide worthy alternatives.
A special treat at Bombaywalla is the Malabar Parotta, the king of soft, flaky Parathas, one of only three venues in Glasgow known to Hector which serve this beautiful Bread.
Mixed Veggies Biryani was thoroughly enjoyed on Visit #1. Masala Rice is also distinctive – like Pilau but more intense flavours – is how Sijin described this accompaniment.
