Go Ahead...Makhani My Day!

If you've never tried chicken the Bombay way, you don't know what chicken can be! Bombay House, in the Parley's area of Salt Lake City, brings chicken to the table in an unexpected way with their classic Indian fares. Famished after a long day ready to gorge on spicy Indian food, I dined with Ali Larsen and Diane at this favorite local spot!

After looking over the menu we decided to indulge, ordering two dishes: chicken makhani and shrimp tikka masala. chicken makhani is a classic Indian dish from the Punjab region whereas Chicken tikka masala is actually a dish created by a chef in the United Kingdom, which is disputed by Indian chefs; regardless of origin, it is amazing! It was created from the original Indian dish, chicken tikka. At Bombay House they serve a few variations of tikka masala: lamb, shrimp and chicken.

We scooped up our fares with garlic and plain naan. The naan, a tasty leavened oven baked bread, was beautifully browned and was the perfect crunchy utensil to transport our spicy delights.

We were wrapped up this ethnic feast with a creamy, cold saffron ice cream, a new dessert at Bombay House. The cool treat coated our mouths and eased the heat from our spicy dishes, completing the party of exotic flavors.

All in all, Bombay House delivered once again, providing a perfectly spicy beginning for National Chicken Month!
