Looking for a spicy authentic Indian dinner with a great atmosphere? Bollywood Grill’s fun environment and mouthwatering meals could be what you’re looking for. The smell of exotic spices fills the entire restaurant and invokes the hunger of every customer. The restaurant’s interesting theme is based on India’s blossoming movie industry in India, Bollywood. Faces of famous movie stars are tastefully displayed on the walls and the tables. Customers appreciate the combination of cultures with the modern movie industry theme and traditional Indian food. The host or hostess is quick to seat you, and the waiters and waitresses are attentive and helpful throughout your meal. If you don’t like spicy meals, Bollywood Grill might not be the place for you. Since Indian cuisine revolves around combining various spices, it is hard to find a dish that won’t leave a burning sensation in your mouth. The spiciest dishes are denoted, but you should still ask about the spiciness of the dishes you order. Also, the price at Bollywood can skyrocket if you order too many dishes. An average meal ranges from $15-$30 per person. If you’ve never had Indian food before, here are some insider’s tips and delicious staples. For a party of four people, order an appetizer and three dishes. The portions are pretty large so there’s plenty to share the dishes “buffet/family style.” The Bollywood Combo Platter has a great variety of traditional foods such as vegetarian and meat samosas, homemade turnovers stuffed with lightly tempered and seasoned diced potatoes and peas or lamb. Order some buttery “nan” bread and a cold mango lassi drink, containing yogurt and ice, to quell any flames that arise in your mouth.
