   The food was good as always. However, I was catching up with a friend who arrived 5 minutes ahead of me and front of house placed him on a table upstairs. When I arrived they placed me on a table downstairs. We both sat for over 25 minutes thinking that the other person was running late yet we were both there but just seated in different areas of the restaurant - very frustrating!! They then had the nerve to try and add a service charge to the final bill which I kindly ask to be removed.

   Dear valued guest, I am extremely sorry about the seating confusion you experienced. Thank you for your feedback. When your friend arrived, he mentioned meeting someone but didn't provide the booking name. I seated him upstairs, not realizing the connection to your reservation downstairs. I visited him twice to check if everything was okay, we failed to make this connection. Neither my colleague nor I made the connection between your reservation and your friend. I sincerely apologize for the frustration and waiting time this caused both of you. We value your patronage and will improve our processes to prevent such situations in the future

   If you are planning to dine out in Wokingham put Bombay Story at the top of your list of restaurants to try. The staff are just lovely and provide a warm, friendly atmosphere and the food, cocktails and wine are absolutely delicious.

   Food and ambience was really good and enjoyable. Services is also great. Only couple of things whoich I wired like to say is there is not many options for vegetarian, we can have only veg curry or paneer curry plus prices for these two particular curries were comparatively high.

   Positives: Modern decor, comfortable and cozy, interesting food, good cocktails, overall a nice family birthday meal. Improvements: Service slow as one waiter dealing with over 20 people who all arrived at the same sort of time. Difficult to hear what he was saying about the menu, and he was not friendly when we left, didn’t say goodbye or smile, which left a negative impression.

   We have eaten at Bombay Story many times and the food is always excellent. We had the bottomless brunch which was a starter and main course with bread or rice. In addition basic drinks are free for two hours. Great wine and my wife had Prosecco. Superb lunch!!

   Highly recommend after my daughter told me about it. Had an express lunch menu, which was amazing. Will definitely be taking my husband back there as it was outstanding all round

   The taste of the food was below average. Some of the dishes had too much salt while some starters had little to no salt.

   Food was amazing as before hence the return for a second visit. We attended on a Sunday late afternoon to avoid a busy time. We had 3 menus for a table of 8 people, we had to call the waiter to order our drinks as we had waited at least 20 minutes. It then took a further 15/20 minutes for a waiter to come back to the table. We had to raise our hand for the waiter to recognise that we needed assistance. Having booked a table for 8 people on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I would have expected the staff to be more attentive. We also booked for a birthday celebration and their wasn’t even a complimentary drink offered. What was the point of asking at the booking?
