This restaurant is decked out in gloriously OTT, last-days-of-the-Raj style, complete with a two-storey-high waterfall, palm trees, a life-sized tiger and safari suit-clad staff. In keeping with the riotous atmosphere of the space, the menu plays free and easy with tradition interpretations of Indian cuisine. Look hard enough and you will find familiar dishes such as lamb rogan josh or a vegetarian korma, hidden among more unusual variations such as the 'Rikki Tikki Tavi Tindaloo' - a frighteningly spicy curry with tandoori chicken sausages. Alternatively, diners can all but turn their back on the subcontinental theme and tuck into a pizza (with toppings ranging from the vaguely Indian to a Peking duck variety), or spicy battered barramundi with curry mayonnaise.

Mixing it up in Bombay
My in-laws took us to the Bombay Bicycle Club on our last visit to Adelaide and it was a hoot. It is interesting to see the mix of reviews here so obviously the quality of the food is a bit hit and miss but everything was superb the night we went. The Colonial India decor borders on tacky but you have to admire total commitment to the theme. I was dubious about the strange fusion of dishes on the menu but I have to say, they pull it off. Our mixed entrees were a great start and the four curries we followed up with were all lovely. The duck korma and Thai green curry were especially delicate and tasty. Judging by other feedback it seems that consistency is the main problem for this place but it seems to me to be worth the gamble.

Bombay Bicycle Club not recommended!
Had tickets to a show at Adelaide Entertainment Centre so decided to eat at Bombay Bicycle Club. As we have 3 young children we don't get to eat out very often so we were really disappointed with the meal. We both ordered Oysters Kilpatrick for entree, the oysters were overcooked and they were covered in an over the top thick BBQ sauce which totally lost any simple flavours of the oysters. It was like just eating pure sauce. Main course I ordered Butter Chicken which was tasteless and the sauce was rancid as if the cream was overcooked and seperated instead of being a creamy dish. My husband ordered the tindaloo which he did not finish (hardly ever happens). The naan bread was too doughy,thick and dripping with oil. Absolutely terrible meal...extremely disappointing!

Fantastic
Having never been to the Bombay Bicycle club before, I was stunned by the excellence and creativity of the theming of the hotel. we decided to have a drink in the Riki tiki bar before dinner whilst chatting to a pleasant bar person. The good experience continued upon arrival in the restaurant and for the rest of the evening, we even went back to the bar after dinner and stayed until close.

7 June 8, 2008, As my wife works every weekend and have young children we finally got a Saturday night off with a baby sitter, so I thought we would go out for a nice dinner. We made reservations at the Bombay Bicycle Club, the place was unique in the way it looked and seemed very interesting. We ordered the Punjab Platter which was a mixture of most things on the menu for $25 per person min of 2 people. The food came out about 10 minutes later; too our surprise the serving was very small for 2 people. It got much worse from there, the food was cold except for the chips and not just room temperature cold but refrigerator cold. The food was really below average the duck spring roll seemed to be heated in the microwave, the chicken was bqq d and also fridge cold (it was like they got all the food from the fridge, stuck it in the microwave and forgot to press start), the battered prawns were the frozen kind and I think the Pakoras was just some processed food you find in you supermarket. We complained to the waiter about the cold food he said it was not supposed to be like that, then left and just came back with our bill. So we paid and left still hungry.
