Bombay Erfurt

January 5, 2009

cimg4505 If you like spicy, Germany isn’t the place for you. Many Germans aren’t fond of spicy food.If you are craving Indian food without the risk of Delhi Belly, head on over to Bombay, where the Indian hosts try to make an almost authentic experience in Erfurt possible. The restaurant is dark, and the decor reminds me of the 80s, but the waiters are very friendly, and it seems that everybody who goes here are regulars.

I tried the number 68, a sweet chicken curry dish, served in my very own warmer, and rice with sweet red sprinkles. Yes, I have a sweet tooth. I was pleasantly surprised, and I was full by the end of the evening. The dishes are pricey, around 10 to 12 euros, and the drinks are also around 2.80 to three euros. I didn’t try their authentic Indian lassis, salty, not sweet, but I promised myself to try them next time. Preferably in the summer, during the annual Domstufe opera festival. Insider’s tip: A few well-placed tables outside offers a free view of the stage (or at least a free listen) without paying the 20 to 40 euro tickets.
