About Bollywood Bar - Indian Restaurant

Carina’s Bollywood Bar swaps standard suburban takeaway for lively, cinematic Indian dining. Regulars pack the tables for the masaledar heat of rich Punjabi curries and crisp Indo-Chinese plates. The kitchen sends out spiced paneer bhurji, comforting butter chicken, and charred garlic naan pulled hot for scooping. Vintage cinema posters set the scene—retro soundtracks humming, motorbike parked out front—while staff balance sweet cocktails and shared platters across big celebration tables.

  • Cinematic Atmosphere: A vibrant dining room pairing retro film aesthetics and an outdoor motorbike display with an energetic Bollywood soundtrack.
  • Regional Flavors & Curries: Rich butter chicken and paneer bhurji share the kitchen with regional specialties like Dal Baati and Surti-style Indo-Chinese.
  • Tandoori Breads: Freshly baked, blistered cheese and garlic naans served hot for scooping up curries.
  • Event & Function Hosting: Dedicated private function hosting for 35 to 70 guests, complete with customizable decorating and continuous buffet service.
