Bombay Brasserie is a family-owned Mount Maunganui restaurant that has served the area since 1998. Diners can reserve a table in the Maunganui Road dining room or use takeaway, delivery and online ordering for an off-site meal. Its menu is deliberately expansive, moving from the tandoor through regional curry styles, vegetable dishes, breads and rice, so a first visit can be straightforward and a larger group can build a much broader meal.
The tandoor shapes the entree section. Lamb seekh kebab, overnight-marinated chicken tikka, cashew-and-yoghurt malai tikka, lemon fish tikka and roasted paneer each use the oven differently. Mixed meat and vegetarian platters gather several of those preparations for two people, which is helpful when diners want contrast before the curries arrive. Tandoori chicken, marinated with ginger, garlic, lemon, yoghurt and spices, remains the clearest full-size expression of that cooking method.
Curries are organised by main ingredient and sauce rather than compressed into a short list of interchangeable names. Goat can be ordered in rogan josh, spinach, jalfrezi, korma, masala and other preparations, while lamb and beef range from vinegar-and-whole-spice vindaloo to almond-cashew korma and coconut-finished Madras. Seafood and chicken add further paths through the menu. Basmati rice accompanies the curry mains, keeping the emphasis on comparing gravies, spice profiles and textures.
Vegetarian choice has similar depth. Dal makhani, five-lentil dal punchmel, paneer butter masala, mushroom and pea korma, spinach dishes and mixed vegetable curries are joined by vegetable biryani and breads stuffed with cheese, vegetables, potato, lamb mince or dried fruit and nuts. The menu labels its dairy-free and gluten-free selections. That range makes Bombay Brasserie especially useful for a mixed table where dietary needs differ but everyone still wants a complete, traditionally structured Indian dinner.
