Really love the food and especially owner's attitude. He offered 20% discount on all items though we never asked for that. Probably, their food tastes among the best you'll find in Europe. Also, it's halal.

Coming from Singapore, I hugely missed Asian food. Happen to chance upon Bollywood Bar Restaurant and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! Food was authentic and owner was super friendly. Highly recommended to anyone who craves on Indian food when in Lausanne!

A lovely discovery in the heart of Lausanne. The food is light, flavorful and masterfully spiced. Some dishes are marked with 5 red chili peppers on the menu - take this warning seriously, as the spice level is exactly as indicated and not suitable for beginners to Indian cuisine. You need experience with spicy food to truly appreciate these dishes. Bollywood Restaurant offers an authentic Indian dining experience and I was completely satisfied with my visit. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service and delicious food with great price.everything was as expected,so will defiantly back again.

Enjoyed the dinner so much!!! Had simple quick dinner, would like to try other dishes as well next time. Wish there was a background music, but still would come back!!
