Located in the heart of New York, Bombay Bistros is a unique dining establishment that pays homage to the rich cultural and culinary heritage of both England and India. The story of Bombay Bistros is rooted in history, drawing inspiration from the era of the British East India Company, which established its presence in India in the early 17th century. Calcutta became the first capital of the British Raj, with other vibrant port cities like Bombay and Madras emerging as key trading hubs.
