Concept of Bombay Bistro

Chef K.N.Vinod and his partner Surfy Rahman from the mid eighties often thought of a simplistic approach to serve fine Indian food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with prompt and attentive service. The realization of this dream started in 1991 in the form of Bombay Bistro, a unique dining experience. Bombay Bistro set itself apart from the very beginning with a completely open Kitchen and a Menu, which combined regional dishes from the North and South of India. The decor is very ethnic Indian with warm colors and clever use of Indian artifacts. Washington Post complimented by calling it a restaurant with low prices, polished service and some of the best food in town. (Sunday, Aug. 9, 1992) . Encouraged by the success of its first location in Rockville, Md., Bombay Bistro opened its second location in Fairfax, Va., in 1995.

Bombay Bistro has been host to many distinguished patrons including dignitaries like Madeline Albright, Secretary of State, Ambassadors of various countries and visiting ministers from India. Bombay Bistro also had the pleasure of hosting the "Club des Chefs des Chefs" (An international organization of chefs catering to the Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and Queens of various countries.)
Bombay Bistro has hosted several food festivals featuring food, which has seldom traveled outside that region. The Daily Specials include a very unique combination of seafood dishes from the coastal regions of India. The kitchen constantly innovates to keep up with the latest trends in the food industry.
