They don't permit dine-in during this time, but if u call them in advance, they'd let you.
The place was pretty sanitised. Food was really good. Their naan was the softest naan in Chennai.
We ordered Gobi Manchurian and achaari paneer for starters. Butter naan and veg stuffed naan along with paneer lababdar. Extremely soft naan along with really spiced paneer along with a bottle of chaas.
To be honest, the chaas was not up to the mark, salt was not enough and when we added salt, it was too thick to mix well.
It was a good experience amidst the lockdown.

I've ordered twice from this resto during lockdown. The packaging of food is on point, thoroughly sealed. 🙏🏻 I requested for extra onions and they never failed to follow special instructions. 👌🏻 I've tried palak paneer and special dal makhni. Absolutely loved both the dishes, delectable. 😃 Onion kulcha was nice as well, so was the garlic naan, but the portion of garlic naan could've been a tad bit more. Roti was usual. I'm definitely gonna try more from here.

All the dishes that were served were moderately spiced and had good taste and flavour. They were of hight quality and standard. Paneer starter tasted very good. Panner was so soft and well marinated with spices. Baby corn starter was fried well and very crisp. The family platter had many varieties like panner Gobi mushroom etc. Mains consisted of briyani, fried rice, different varieties of naans and many varieties of side dishes. Finally came the desserts kulfi and ice-cream Falooda and gulab jamun. Though we were full with the main course, we could still eat the desserts as they were not heavy and had moderate quantity.

The pricing of the dishes was very competetive and service was really good.
The dishes arrived without much wait time one after the other and were served hot.

We also took a tour of the restaurant kitchen and the party hall. They have the cleanest and finest kitchen space and Inventory. The party hall can accommodate 50 People and has a separate buffet menu for functions and gatherings.

One of the oldest Vegiterian North Indian restaurant in Chennai with the traditional cooking flavours and taste, bombay halwa house is the original restaurant available today to try out North Indian foods in Chennai!
.
We had an awesome dinner from lassi, rotis, Manchurian, gravies to falooda and everything were rich in taste and quantity was appreciative!
.
I started with Spl.BHH lassi, it was so thick and tasty, it was filled with malai at the bottom which have additional taste to it!
.
Then we had chilly paneer and mushroom Manchurian with papad as staters. They were well fried and presented well. It were crispy and fresh to taste.
.
Then we had Spl.BHH family platter, it has a combination of 6 starters and serves 3-4 peoples made of paneer, mushrooms, pineapple, capsicum... each one being different and unique in taste and flavour.
.
Then we had different rotis and breads from Masala kulcha, Cheese Garlic naan, methi Parotta, Ajwain parotta and gobi kulcha. Each bread were made fresh and quality and quantity was par to the price!we even had veg biryani and paneer schezwan fried rice. .
Gravies included paneer cheese tomato, gobi keema mutter, Veg kholapuri, dhall maharani and methi malai corn!
Dal maharani had 5 types of dhall which makes it distinguished from others, stuffed tomato had paneer stufings inside, so you can have whatever combinations you want mostly here!
.
Finally we ended with indian faloodas (must try) which were so good and were available with Ice cream or kulfi. Both were different completely in taste, so try to taste both!
.
Overall, it is an awesome restaurant running successfully for such a long period with the same pride and quality. So food is so reliable. You will have ample parking and it is child friendly. Staffs are so polite and caring.

The one and only original Bombay Halwa House @chennai since 1948 serving by the three generations and they dont have other branches.
BHH is completely :- Eat for Health. A pure veg restaurant having a special sub section for jain and sindhi foods.
This place makes you feel homely and comfortable for a great experience to enjoy your meal happily and have visuals of artistic pieces hung on the wall. Dishes were mouth-watering and too beautifully served by the staffs specially Sharma ji.
They served us….
Drinks-
Khus soda: pingy-punchy as a refresher.

Strawberry passion mocktail: lovely fusion and well presented.

Starters-
Cheese masala khicha: a papad well crisped having masala cheese and many more as a topping.

Chatpatta paneer tikka: too good to be true! Soft moist and very deliciously presented. Have a look a look at my images. A dish you must try for sure.

Chilly mushroom: a Chinese starter giving mushroom a finest touch.



Main course-
Veg. kolhapuri: mixed vegetable dish never had that before. Good and tasty. Highly recommended.

Paneer butter masala: oh, paneer why you so amazing and fantastic.

Cheese garlic naan, butter roti & ghee fulka: Indian breads the way Mum makes.

Dessert-
Sindhi kulfi falooda: that’s how we end our dinner!! On a sweet note.

An additional point is that they have an attached 50-seater hall for family get-together and birthday mashups.

One of the cleanest and finest kitchen space and inventory (they allowed me inside).

Thankyou Rajkumar Duseja for your time and hosting us so generously.

A few years ago, Bombay Halwa House was packed by 8.00 PM, especially on weekends. The prime location, a fair amount of parking space and the food brought families flocking to the place. Then Covid happened. And when everyone switched to ordering on phones, the hotel went into passive mode. The crowds have still not returned. Or they've discovered fancier places close by. And while the food is still as we remembered, the empty tables are not. Which is a pity. Good North Indian food is still not as widespread as it should be. The mooli paratha. The koki recommended by the helpful waiter. And the babycorn pakodas, with a thin, spicy covering deep fried and then soaked in green chutney for that burst of spicy salty goodness. The old world waiters are disappointed when you don't order enough to feed an army. They are used to seeing large orders, not a few lines on the kitchen order token. Our man tried. But we gently turned him off and said that we wanted the pleasure of eating a little, not a lot. He actually looked hurt. The decor is simple and the food fresh. It reminds you of what eating out in the 80s was like. The plates, the portions and the serving was from another time The glitzy places have taken over. But if you want a burst of nostalgia and street food served in relatively nicer surroundings, walk in and savour the good old Ghar ka Khana.

A famous eatery in the kilpauk locality and have been serving the area for quite some years . This is a proper restaurant with ample seating facilities and decent ambience ...the place is not that crowded during weekdays but fills up during the weekends. Prices are on the higher side. But they make it up with copious amounts of things like cashew badham in their menu. The food i ordered had almost a handful of cashews. The menu has a lot of options and the place. Overall good for once in a while outing.

This restaurant has been my go to place when we have to eat Vegetarian food for many years. Conveniently located close to where I live, its on the 1st floor and serves some delightful, authentic North Indian dishes. They serve pure veg food cooked in hygienically maintained kitchen using Desi Ghee. They are the original and have no other branches. The menu is rather extensive and has predominantly Punjabi food, Desi Chinese with Jain options too. They serve selected Sindhi dishes for which you have to pre order a day before. I started off proceedings with a delightful Veg Manchow Soup and was taken in with the flavourful broth, with generous pieces of ginger and garlic adding to the zesty feel. Baby Corn Manchurian, Chilly Paneer and a Veg Kabab platter were our starters. The taste was totally on point and I loved the presentation of the platter which came with a lit tomato flower. Since we were a large group we went along with the owners suggestion, plus a few of my evergreen favourites - Masala Kulcha, this panner and vegetable stuffed Kulcha has to be one of the best in the city. This pairs really well with the Gobi Keema Mutter, which I haven't tasted elsewhere. Veg Kolhapuri, Methi Malai Corn, Stuffed Tomato were the other gravies we tried with Cheese Garlic Naan, Methi Paratha, Gobi Paratha and Ajwain Paratha. Special mention must be made of the Dal Maharani- which is made with 4 types of lentils as opposed to the 3 types used in Dal Makhni. We also tried the Schezwan Paneer fried rice, my son's favourite and the Veg Dum Biriyani. All the dishes were excellent and I must say that the taste was distinct in each dish. We were totally stuffed by then but couldn't resist trying a bite of Special Kulfi Falooda. The homemade kulfi was cut into cubes and loaded with rabdi and falooda. A rich and satisfying finale to the meal accompanied by the lively conversation we had with Mr. Rajkumar Duseja and efficient service by Mr. Sharmaji. They do have a party hall which can comfortably seat 50 people and can be hired for private gatherings.
