The Bombay Cottage in South Kesteven

This used to be my favourite Indian restaurant in Stamford, up until I ordered a takeaway last Friday. I am vegetarian and have been for many years, so I order on the phone and not via just eat to reiterate my dish is to be just sauce with no meat.I ordered a tikka masala sauce and ate about 1/4 of it. The next day I went to have my leftovers and noticed pieces of chicken in the dish!! I felt sick and then realised had probably eaten small bits of chicken the night before. Disgusting.I threw away the dish and the accompanying dishes because who would eat dry naan and rice?I called them and they proceeded to imply I was lying, as they do not prepare the meat with the sauces. When I responded with the fact I have photos of it, they changed their tone and offered me £10 off my next meal there, I said this wasnt acceptable as I cant trust their food preparation practices anymore and I said I wanted a refund instead.They accepted and I was told I had to come into the restaurant to get this refund, despite the fact I orignally paid over the phone but when I got to the restaurant they tried to refund me only for the sauce but I explained that I couldnt eat any of the meal and I was out of pocket much more than just the sauce. They finally offered a refund of no more than £10 and tried to give cash until I refused and then eventually I was given the refund on my card.Their excuse was the chef had got the order mixed up and this was the reason for the chicken pieces, its very obvious the dish was made with chicken which was removed prior to sending it to me. I am highly allergic to prawns and this would be a different story if these has been incorrectly added.If it was a “kitchen mix up” then I would have had whole bits of chicken in the dish and this would have been a genuine dish mistake and could have been rectified.Watch out, bad food preparation and lazy approach to dietary requirements and allergies.

Very well manner. Delicious food they served and clean. Love it.

Amazing food, think I have just found my new favourite

Fantastic meal this evening. First time back in since the alterations inside and the place looks amazing. Fabulous food, service excellent, complimentary drinks at the end which was a nice touch. We always use Bombay Cottage for takeaway, which is always a perfect dine in at home. Thoroughly recommend you visit this establishment

Always love this place when we come... never disappointed with the lovely Indian food and a wonderful service that comes with it... the best couple of hundred quid we spend every time we go as a small group of family!!Definitely will be returning! Keep up with the fantastic food and service 👌

I was there on 22nd of January 2022. Place was busy and I understood why: very good food and nice environment. I had duck (exquisite!) and lamb(generous portion). I'd go again if I ever visit that charming town. Unfortunately I did not take photos.

Heavenly food, tender lamb perfect for any thing. Service was excellent when it came to getting around to everyone took about 10 minutes but it was because of they were sorting out deliveries, payments etc. But over all amazing. Would I come here again... Yes!

A little tardis from the outside the Bimbay cottage looks quite small but inside there was plenty of space and numerous tables. It offers a good menu and quick and attentive staff. The food was great and we were all satisfied with the quality and generous portions. A real treat and definately worth a visit.

I was told about this restaurant by my hairdresser and as we are curry lovers we thought we would give it a go. The restaurant was lovely, clean and has a good atmosphere. We had poppadoms, tawa chicken, chicken tikka rogan and a peshawi naan and a spicy paratha. Everything tasted lovely and had good flavour (maybe just not spicy enough for me!) We really enjoyed it and we had loads left over. The staff was very friendly and helpful and explained all the dishes to us. It was well worth the drive and will definitely be going back again.

Wow! The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff are friendly, polite and attentive. The food was absolutely gorgeous! Would recommend 5/5 stars!!
