Bombay Blues is a casual neighbourhood Indian restaurant in the St Johns shopping precinct on Felton Mathew Avenue. Guests can settle in for waiter service, pick up an order or have it delivered, so the same substantial menu suits both an easy dinner out and a meal at home. Its breadth gives the compact suburban setting the scope for anything from a quick curry to a complete evening meal.
The opening section balances familiar fried snacks with a notably broad tandoor selection. Vegetable samosas and onion or mixed pakoras cover crisp, shareable starters, while chicken tikka appears in classic, malai and achaari styles. Lamb seekh kebab, tandoori chicken and fish tikka add different textures and seasoning profiles, allowing a table to put together a varied platter before choosing curries.
Curries are arranged into chicken, lamb, beef, seafood and vegetarian sections, giving the menu more range than a short list of house standards. Among the chicken choices, butter chicken, tikka masala, mango chicken and korma use distinctly different tomato, onion, mango, almond and cashew based sauces. That structure helps diners choose by both protein and sauce style instead of treating every curry as interchangeable.
For a compact daytime meal, the curry combinations include rice, naan and a drink alongside the selected curry. Separate biryani and bread sections make it straightforward to build a larger shared order, while desserts and beverages provide a conventional finish. Taken together with dine-in, takeaway and delivery service, the format works for a quick individual lunch as readily as a family spread assembled from several parts of the menu.
