Prata? Everytime Bobo heads out for some Indian food people ask if she had prata. The funny thing is that they don't serve prata at all here at the...

BOMBAY CAFE

Bombay Cafe is an vegetarian eatery along Tanjong Katong Road which you can't miss. And Bobo means it. It's black with Fuchsia pink colours. Who can miss that shocking pink?

That fateful New Year's Day, Bobo and her friend stepped into this dimly lit restaurant and were surrounded by Bollywood posters and MTVs playing at every corner. Sychronised Indian dancing has never failed to mesmerise Bobo. So she entertained herself with the MTVs whilst her companion studied the menu.

Food Ordered:

Adraki Gobhi ($8)
Cauliflower cooked in spicy paste. The cauliflower is a little too mushy for my taste but Bobo loved the paste. She also liked the way it went with the Naan. It was very flavourful. A great accompaniment but not to be eaten alone.


Ragda Patties ($7)
This was the puzzling and disappointing dish of the night. She ordered it thinking it was potatoes. But when it came, it looked like a whole plate of peas! This was a little cold and they managed to find the mashed up potato cakes in the centre... buried under all the peas. A very odd dish which didn't really go down too well with them.


Masala Dosa ($6)
This is the one that looks like a large pancake foldover. The sides are slightly sweet and breadlike and there are potato fillings in the centre which are savoury and a little tangy. She loved it.

Kurkuri Mushroom ($12)
It looked ugly. Really ugly. But you have to put the entire piece into your mouth to get the burst of freshness from the vegetables in it. This was undoubtedly, the best dish of the night.

All in all they spent $46.50 for the two.

They provided great service, pretty good food and a nice ambience. The two things that weren't so good was that there was little parking space around and that they didn't have a washroom. That's a big minus as they are not located in a shopping centre where there are public toilets nearby.

Definitely worth a try!!
