Stopped by in Myrtle Beach for spring break. We are Indian so decided to give a local restaurant a try. We entered a practically empty dining room. Host was kind for the most part but was consistently sneezing and coughing which made us even more worried about the food quality. Apart from that, one of the cooks had headphones on and was dancing in the dining room, constantly peaking his head out and staring us down. From a FOOD PERSPECTIVE, it was very very poor. Everything lacked seasoning and even salt wasn’t enough to add flavor. We had Paneer Makhani as well as Dal Makhani both of which were watery and lacked basic spice. We also had a sizzler which was supposed to be tandoor but was barely marinated and vegetables weren’t cooked all the way through. Not to mention the food took 45 minutes to come out even when there was NOBODY else in the dining room. Try at your own risk but if your stay is short, don’t spend a night out here. Much better options at the boardwalk and even further down the strip.

Delicious all around. Even my picky grandma enjoyed her food. I’ve been a customer here since 2017 and all I can say is every visit here has been satisfying. Highly recommend the onion pakora and the biryani and the everything else. I can tell the owner of this restaurant is very passionate about the business and that the cooks are committed. Bonus points for sensory friendly lighting!

Bekh was wonderful. He was warm and welcoming and helpful. The food was freshly made and delicious. We all enjoyed our dishes. They were generous portions as well. The menus states daily buffet but they only offer it on weekends. It’s an old home converted to a restaurant. It isn’t fancy but clean and homey. Water and plates/sikberware are self service.
The food is 100% HALAL and one of the few in the city. Be sure to stop by. Full private lot near the beach.

We stopped here for a late lunch and got in just before closing at 2:30 (they reopen for dinner in the evening). The buffet was ready for us and we loaded up on all sorts of delicious food. They had all the traditional Indian dishes including samosas, naan, and chicken and vegetarian options. Even dessert (rice pudding). Easy to access location too. We’ll surely come back!

Wow!! We were introduced to this place by a dear friend/faithful customer for over a decade, and now we know why he keeps going back to Bombay at the Beach! Mr. Bekah welcomed us warmly and brought us some appetizers – warm crispy papadam with dips, delicious thick samosas and pakoras, a mixed grill (tandoori meats and seafood) with a side of mango lassi. Everything was just incredible!! We had skipped breakfast so we definitely still had room for entrées. We opted for butter chicken, lamb curry, and chicken saag with garlic herbed naan. Good luck picking a favorite with this explosion of flavors on your taste buds!! You won’t forget it! I always love me some Indian food and Bombay at the Beach sure knows how to deliver! We then had a delicious dessert with rice pudding and gulab jamun. Mr. Bekah shared a little bit of his journey with us. It was very touching. He’s a quiet meek guy who recognizes his blessings and takes a lot of pride in working hard and making delicious meals for his customers to enjoy. Hop over there on a really empty stomach and enjoy an incredible meal!

Located in Myrtle Beach SC this is an excellent authentic restaurant, fresh every time! I have not eaten here once that it was not delicious. The Samosa chaat, the chicken chops, the onion pakora and the mango lassi are among my favorites. The staff are so kind and work hard to make sure you get quality food. This is not a fast food restaurant everything is cooked fresh so you may have to be prepared to wait but believe me it’s worth the wait. The restaurant closes between 2 and 5 PM in order to prepare fresh goodness for the evening shift. Don’t miss out on this wonderful little restaurant that is within walking distance of the boardwalk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Also the biryani and shahi naan are a must try. Honestly you can not go wrong here no matter what you order. It’s a pleasure to have Bombay at the Beach as a part of Myrtle Beaches diverse culinary cuisine, that features halal options.

Food taste delicious. Forgot to order sauce to put on the rice. It’s not yellow. Just white rice with seasoning however the food taste soo good. We got mixed grill and instead of fish in the mixed grill we added more meat. Also ordered chicken chili. Yum! The owner or hostess is sooo nice and very helpful. Great restaurant. We also order garlic naan. It came out to $54 plus tipped them bc they are awesome

A little late to post a review as my wife and I came to eat here on October 7, but better late than never! We enjoyed our service here. The host seems to know his customers, as he had conversations with several people while we were there. They are welcoming and friendly. We came just a little after 7:30. It is a nice small little restaurant. Our food took about 30 min or so, but we filled our time with the papad (ordered twice), the samosa Chaat, and the pakodas from the appetizers. Each was quite enjoyable and you can tell they were made fresh.
For the main course, I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and my wife ordered the Dal Fry. We both ordered ours very spicy.
I have eaten at several Indian restaurants before. In Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Louisville, D.C. Vegas, and when I tell you this chicken Tikka wason the top of the list… Not saying it is the best I have ever had, but it was up there on the list. Chicken was tender, not chewy, well seasoned, and the spice level was on point. And I am a man who likes his spicy food. Sometimes I like it hotter than a volcano, sometimes just as an accent, but it was very well balanced in my order.
The Dal Fry was also really liked by my wife, in terms of spicy and flavor. Almost just like we make at home, which is a big compliment from her. I tasted and agreed as well.
We also got some orders of garlic naan.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars for 2 reasons.
1) both our orders needed a bit more salt to be perfect. But we asked for some salt and pepper shakers to fix that easily
2) the mukwas (mouth freshener) at the register that you help yourself to on the way out was stale.
Based on the mixed reviews I can only say your experience may vary. We had a great one. Make sure you come with sometime Incase the kitchen gets busy if the restaurant has more customers, but I would definitely recommend the food.
I would definitely eat here again if I visit Myrtle Beach

After being disappointed the last 2 times with my go-to Indian restaurant, I decided to try Bombay at the Beach. We went in and the person working didn’t say anything to us, but handed us menus and pointed to an area to sit. It took him a few minutes to take our order, and we had to get our own drinks and utensils, so that kinda caught me off guard along with not being greeted. Once he walked over to take our order I asked what he recommended, so we got that (spicy lamb curry) and I got samosa and the tandoori mix along with the chefs special naan. The samosas and chutneys were on point! The lamb curry was so so so good. The tandoori mix plate was lacking flavor, but the other food was so good I didn’t care. I just asked for more chutneys to dip it in. The server didn’t talk much, but he was nice. Also, you have to get your own to-go box and take your bill to the register to check out. Service wasn’t what I’m used to, but it won’t deter me from returning. I’m already looking forward to trying more food there! I hope next time is as good as this time. If so, this will be my new Indian go-to! Also, prices are fair for the most part but a can of soda will run you $2.75.

I and my wife had lunch buffet at Bombay at the Beach. Food is delicious and authentic. Naan and Samosa are the best. Not so much verity, but everything offered on buffet was tasty. $22 for verity they offered was bit expensive, but given tourist destination it’s okay i guess. I ordered their pistachio kulfi to go. It is bite size for 3 bucks. It is a must try.
Service is good. One person is taking care of everything, but very efficient. He is very polite and friendly.
The place is pretty rundown. When I asked about it he told me that they are moving out to new building at the end of this year and hence not renovating.
