The Bombay Indian Bistro, Regina

Bombay Restaurant may be named for one of India's biggest cities, but the culinary team's authentic dishes hail from across the country. The thalis, or platter-style meals, spring from Southern India, featuring entrees like butter chicken and daal along with naan and scoops of rice. Tandoori dishes, meanwhile, typify Northern cuisine. Cooked in the traditional clay oven, or Tandoor, they range from classic tandoori chicken to the eatery's popular lamb seekh kebab, a skewer of minced lamb. Diners can wash down their meals with yogurt lassis, wine, and beers imported straight from India, rather than domestic beer served in naan koozies. For folks who'd like to taste their way across the subcontinent, Bombay Restaurant showcases its regional influences during the lunch buffet.
