We love Bombay Club. It's a hidden gem, a quiet spot away from the craziness of the Quarter. The atmosphere, ambiance, food and drinks are worth seeking it out! The food as always was wonderful and at happy hour we couldn't have asked for better priced craft cocktails!

We went on the recommendation of a local who’s aunt and uncle own this place. It did NOT disappoint. The service was exceptional and the food phenomenal. The prices were perfectly reasonable. It’s maybe my new favorite NOLA spot to grab a bite. Missed the live jazz as we went on weekday instead of weekend, I’m going to have to check out that scene.
