The first time we went to Bollywood, in 2011 maybe, it was good. They must have changed their suppliers or who makes the food since then. I went back recently with friends. The naan now tastes like pancakes. I imagine the overhead for this location is quite high. Those prices must be passed on to us. Not worth it.

Thank you very much for dining with us at Bollywood, and thank you very much for taking your valuable time to provide your feedback on TripAdvisor. Here at Bollywood, we strive to satisfy our customers in every way possible, and it is our greatest failure we were unable to do that. Our suppliers have not changed in the past few years. We also do not use pancake batter in our naan mixes, but have started a full on kitchen inspection and naan inspection. Overhead here is at an average standard. We apologize for the sub-par experience.We look forward to welcoming you back sometime soon so that you may see our changes.
Thank you so much.

Located in the heart of the American Village, this Indian restaurant serves delicious and generous Indian cuisine.
The huge Nan, the biryani and chicken tikka and appetizers were very well prepared and tasty.
Only disappointment was the lobster curry, a bit over cooked and stiff.
A great value for money.
Very nice staff.
No reservation so better to come early, put your name on the list and go for some shopping until it is your turn.

Tasty Indian. Large naan are soft and chewy - really worth ordering. Rice is not basmati but Japanese rice. Butter chicken and mutton were delicious and three spice level options - know that extra spicy wasn't that spicy.

Lunch specials have one, two or three curry options with choice of naan or rice (go for the naan!) all in the ¥1000 range. If you're in American Village - this is the place to go. Wait for table maybe required at peak times. Perhaps make reservation when arrive to shop and then head up after browsing.
