Bombay Talkie

Frommer's Review

If it's in any way possible while dining in a stylish, modern restaurant in Chelsea, try to imagine you are on the streets of Bombay and you are hungry. There are inexpensive food options everywhere on those streets, and here at Bombay Talkie, with a Bollywood movie constantly playing behind the bar and a soundtrack on the speakers to match, some of those options are replicated for you in a much more comfortable environment. You can munch on a dosa, a thin, lightly fried bread stuffed with coconut and mustard-seed chicken or spiced potatoes. Or you might want to try the Pau Bhaji, grilled bread served with mixed, gingery vegetables. Whatever you choose, wash it down with one of the restaurant's innovative cocktails such as a passionfruit margarita or an Indian beer. The restaurant has two levels, a few booths on the lower level and a long communal table, which is fun for large groups. Bombay Talkie is the perfect spot for a respite from Chelsea gallery-hopping.
