Bollywood Indian Kitchen

Glenn Guevarra

The best Indian Restaurant in Simi Valley!! We (Family of 6) were able to eat inside. The place is quaint, cozy, and warm. Our Server was very hospitable and attentive. We ordered Veggie Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Egg Fried Rice, Shrimp Biryani, and Garlic Naan bread. Every dish was delicious and flavorful. If You enjoy Indian cuisine this place will hit the spot and won't leave a dent in your wallet!!

If you are a lover of good food, you know how to appreciate and taste the seasonings of the ingredients to the meals. I recommend this restaurant, mainly the restaurants in God, but this one in particular. Because the truth is, I went here and ordered food and it was so much that not even I I believed what I had ordered and I couldn't eat it but it wasn't because it wasn't good because it was too good I rated them five stars and I think it's too little to tell you how much they really deserve to be visited I recommend it if you want eat well 👍

Excellent food. We were greeted by a very friendly staff, taken to our table and given toasted Papadums and assorted relishes/chutney while we perused the menu. The place is very clean and our water glasses were never allowed to be empty. After taking our waiter's advice, we chose medium heat level for our dishes. He didn't want to blow out our mouths on our first visit. The Bhindi Masala was okra fried perfectly with a delicious, spicy sauce vegetable sauce. Rice Pilau was light and every rice grain was cooked perfectly with a lovely Saffron scent. Tandoori Chicken was a platter of spicy Tandoor roasted chicken thighs and legs with onions, peppers and a slice of lime. A bowl of Raita on the side is a must! Tearing off pieces of Garlic Naan helped to sop up the spicy sauces on our plates was a nice addition as well. The medium spice level is fairly hot. He said they will even make it mild if that is what you prefer. Next time we'll try a little bit hotter to see what it's like. My only suggestion is a little background music would have given the restaurant a nicer ambiance. So happy to have really good, reasonably priced Indian food with a friendly staff on the west side of Simi!

The best Indian restaurant you didn't know was there. (Behind the Dairy Q) Only my 2nd visit, but the food is consistently outstanding. They offer lunch take-out for an embarrassingly low price. But the lunch buffet, still under $10, will make you want to dine in to try everything! And the fresh from the oven naan, brought hot to your table, is a highlight.

We enjoyed the lamb curry. I ordered the mild version and my husband ordered the spicier curry. We were both happy. The lamb was tender and the coconut curry very creamy. The people who run the restaurant are very nice. Plenty of customers but not overcrowded. It was nice to see kids there enjoying the cuisine. I'm sure we will return.

Such good food with great drinks. My wife and I went, loved our conversations over Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. Not to mention some appetizers.

First time in a long time trying Indian food. It did not disappoint. Anything on the menu, just ask for recommendations and you won’t regret it!

Had an amazing dinner here, yellow lentil dahl for me and lamb tikka masala for my dad. Great vegetarian and vegan options!

I'm a huge fan of Indian food and have had it in most major cities I visit- LB, SF, NY... When I moved to Simi valley I was worried I wouldn't have good spots to eat at. Bollywood Indian kitchen is delicious, fresh, hot,amazing customer services and I personally love the authentic ambiance. SO grateful to have amazing Indian food so close to home thank u! I personally love the samosas with all the sauces and the chicken tikka masala. I definitely recommend this place

5/5 Quality of Food 5/5 Quantity of Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Value (Price to Food + Service) $10 for an all you can eat buffet? Yes, the food was tasty and it's a great value. They have an okay selection but the food tastes great. They have these great fried potatoes that went really well with the mint chutney. Great place to eat if you find yourself in Simi Valley.

I thought it was good. I'm a fan of Indian food but by no means an expert. The chicken Tikka masala was a good curry taste. My only issue was it was a small serving. The lamb baryani was good as well. It's like an Indian spiced, fried rice with lamb pieces. Very tasty. You can taste the spices in the rice and it's got a little spicey kick to it. The garlic naan(bread) was very good. Overall, a very nice experience with some good tasting Indian food.

This is good Indian food. Plain and simple. We have really enjoyed everything we have every had here. Tandoori fish is one of my favorites. Very good curries although if you are looking for very spicy make sure you really stress the spicy factor to them. To me medium spice here tastes like mild elsewhere.

The service was very good, but food was bland which is pretty hard to do with Indian food. I was never asked which spice level I’d like. When I went to pay, I was appalled to find that I was charged $7 for a bowl of plain rice (which is not included with entrees)!!! On top of that the tipping percentage started at 25% and ended at 33%. It was an incredibly expensive meal with mediocre food and ambience.

I tried a bit of everything to see what was good. The lamb is excellent, the white meat chicken is dry. The Naan is absolutely delicious, no matter which one you order. The chicken Samosas are possibly the most delicious item they make. I ordered multiple rish dishes and there is a lot of it, definitely needed to share. I ordered a chicken dish, thinking it would be in pieces, but I got chicken drumsticks, not happy about that. Almost every dish will have some sort of vegetables in it. The spices and perfect and seasoned so well. It was not too expensive and the staff were very friendly.

Super expensive (beyond the acceptable coz of the current supply issues and gas prices). Note: none of the entree items come with rice, you have to order and pay separately. The coconut curry came with only four tiny pieces of lamb. Never inquired about the desired level of spicy. Paid $48 for this. Won’t go back and don’t recommend.

“Initially, I was hesitant but decided to give the biryani a chance – and I deeply regret it. This was hands down the worst ‘biryani’ I’ve ever had, and frankly, it shouldn’t even be called biryani. I’m left wondering if the chef or owner even knows what biryani is supposed to be. Just take a look at the picture—does this resemble anything close to a proper biryani? Charging $16.99 for this sad excuse of a dish is downright insulting. And the chicken soup? I don’t even have words. It completely ruined our Valentine’s dinner, and I will never, ever order from here again. Disappointing, to say the least!”

Ordered the Tandori mixed grill. Four different meat offerings all game covered in a red barbecue sauce and looked as unappealing as it tasted. So many other good places to order from. This should be skipped.

I am shocked. We just paid $18 for 7 pieces of chicken Tika Masala and whole mess of sauce. Not even organic chicken. I know there is some crazy inflation going on but this is ridiculous. I will admit the flavor was good.

One of pathetic biryani of my life time, under cooked rice, under cooked spices. Uncooked onions, it’s a total disaster of biryani. Would not. Recommend any one.
