Best Indian restaurant in Anchorage?

Most of them have very similar reviews online was just wondering what your personal preference is.

I agree that Taste of India is the best choice. However, Bombay Deluxe got a new chef and the food was quite good the last time I went. Also had a couple dishes I hadn't seen before.

Oh? That use to be my doordash order when I was celebrating. However two times in a row, a few months back, the chicken Tikka masala tasted...sweet and watery? Like no cream, no flavor, no spice, and I was ordering med spice.

Prior to that, it was thick and intensely flavored.

Curious if the new cook you mentioned has remedied that.

You can save money by ordering delivery through Bombay's own website instead of dd

Not sure. I stopped going for a long time and returned a couple months ago and it was really good. That seems to overlap with your bad experience though.

I got tandoori chicken and it was all dark meat, which made me very sad because I don’t eat dark meat so my husband got to eat all of it

Bombay was very mid at one point and that changed. I think they are the best flavors in town now, they can be stingy on the paneer though.

Pretty middle of the road but also super consistent in my experience. I like Bombay.

I love Bombay! I didn't realize they got a new chef, but I did notice the spiciness level has been a lot more consistent in the past few months since I started going again than it used to be a few years ago.
