I'm now loving this new food and the taste of food that my taste buds are looking for, food that has lot of spices and soft and creamy salty tomato taste. I just experience tasting the food in last month's dinner meeting in a condo and after a month of dreaming and planning where to locate that restaurant, we just got some tips in the internet to locate the spot.
The New Bombay Restaurant is located in Glorietta 3, thats beside Bibliarch store and along the street where Hard Rock Cafe and Gloria Jeans is located, its a 2 month old food center were their specialty is all authentic Indian food. After tasting this cuisine in a meeting, I just blown away by its taste and my love for tomato sauces and spices triggered my tongue to search for this restaurant. And our firs walkathon last night brought us to the wrong direction and glad that security guards are reliable source of info to ask the exact location.

Upon arriving, we read this laser printed menu, all text and no images of the food, which makes the menu too alien for us, so me and Lace try to guess and describe the food we ate last time and the waitress helps us to know that food, so we ordered Mutton something food - Mutton is a lamb meat, and Safron rice - its a rice that contains some nuts and fruits, and Chicken in red gravy which is my personal favorite. Its funny at first because the waitress tells us this food at the menu, but I just can't understand what food she's referring to and glad that the content of the meal is written under each the Indian food title, which gave us a hard time pin pointing we want haahahah.
The place is really nice and we feel that we are in India, the fixtures and wall painting and the designs are really nice, we like the place and we are very comfortable on the atmosphere of the restaurant. During our spicy meal, btw, we ordered the food in "mild" spice only, we are still trying to look first before we leap, maybe next time we will upgrade our spice to "medium" and then up to "spicy", okay during our meal, lots of Indian locals in a family group went inside and dine in, and then there are lots of office people and call center employees went inside to eat their dinner, and I didnt expected that they got lots of customers already.
They have 2 other brances , one in Salcedo Village and the other is in other parts of Makati, forgot to read the whole address, but you can look at it in the net. After our meal, this young Indian manager went to our table and he ask what do we think of the food, and I say that this is the ultimate taste that my tongue is looking for ahahaha, but then we laugh when I started to insert some Filipino words in our talk, because at first we thought that he can't understand our language, but the young Indian looks like a born Pinoy.
The food is great and the serving is good for two people already, their chefs inside are Indians, and Im very satisfied on the taste and the price. If you have P300 you can already buy one meal and a special rice, their specialty meals can go to P150 and up, while rice can go to P150 and up.
Next time I'll be trying the Spinach long rice, because I feel inlove to it during my first taste of it in our meeting, but we tried the Safron rice and its good, on my second order of the rice they put somekind of cheese grater on top of it, but when I tasted it, its some kind of fried egg, not sure. but it tastes good.
The Mutton meal is a mind blow for me, its a lamb cooked like a corned beef, but the taste is like more a Pata tim, but its a little different, I can't determine yet the ingredients because its a new taste and I'm new to it, but its yummy...oh my..
the Chicken in red gravy is like our calderata, since the taste of caldereta for me is the best, thats why i love this chicken in red gravy, its a little hot and spicy, but the creamy taste of its like tomato paste sauce and gravy like texture, the chicken is no longer a chicken.... its a big Indian meal for me.
I pay P800, for the two meal and two rice meal, plus two drinks.
and yes, Im going back again, to try other food at The New Bombay Restaurant
