Reviews for Bombay Olive - Authentic Indian Cuisine in Carbondale, IL

Yesterday we visited this restaurant and had a few entrees and appetizers, all of which were good , as well as a hot and sour... soup that was full of color and test less . I asked them to replace the item or cancel the order because the color is stickingto my tongue and I could see color sticking to the bowl, but no use . The staff is pleasant and attentive, but it's still notworth it. Read more

The two of us called ahead, made a reservation, and then waited 1.5 hours for small portions of overpriced food. The server... never approached us, refilled our water, or told us how much longer we'd have to wait; we had to call for his attention acrossthe restaurant to ask him to change our order to go, since we had waited so long. He was also very rude to a group beforeus. Our table was dirty and needed to be clean. The food overall was average, but the tandoori chicken was pretty good.Perhaps the takeout experience would be better, but I don't think I'll ever get food here again, based on the service alone.

The food here was delicious! Dined in and were met with friendly service. My girlfriend and I shared what the other got, and had... the best of both worlds. I had chicken curry, and she had a vegetarian dish with cheese, peppers, and other veggies. Willdefinitely go again! Read more

As countless other reviewers have mentioned, the man at the front/the cashier is absolutely terrible. I thought he was the owner... (I hope he's not), but his behavior made me think otherwise. He was so rude and condescending. He also closes the restauranthours early to avoid serving people. Would not recommend. Read more

Absolutely the best Indian cuisine I have ever had. Excellent quality, generous portions, and a friendly, welcoming staff. ... Pradeep, the host, has made me feel right at home every time I've stopped by or gotten something to go. I cannot recommend themhighly enough! Read more

Food is tasty. BUT, customer service is very slow. It takes at least 50 minutes to get the food on your table. You need to have... all life long to go there and all patience to deal with the waiter who does not seem to be interested in serving you. I don'trecommend this place at all. It is very expensive as well. Read more

Nice dining experience. Elegant establishment. Savory foods. Drink options are vast. Perfect place to date: full of class at a... reasonable budget. Took a star away because the bathroom mirror needed to be cleaned. Read more
