Looking for interesting and modern Indian culinary inspiration? Here is the place, Bambaiya which mean the Bombay or Indian people is modern restaurant presented by Queen's Tandoor which is certainly familiar to the Jakarta society especially Indian food fans in town. The concept is like a cafe in India that can be seen around of the city.
Located in South Quarter, South Jakarta, Bambaiya has a comfortable outdoor area surrounded by greenery and a fish pond that gives a beautiful touch. Entering the restaurant, we will see a variety of interesting colorful decorations, bright theme and some Indian typical ornaments. In Accordance with the concept of fusion, we will found various Indian dishes but with different presentation and flavor.
Before starting to eat, the right choice we enjoyed a unique Indian Chai Tea. Black tea combined with a mixture of typical Indian spices created a fragrant aroma. It tastes good with the right concetration and not too sweet. After that, i tasted several Indian fusion dishes that looked different from other restaurant such as:
1. Persian Shakshuka, egg preparation with crispy potatoes stick blended perfectly together and complete with okra which are often processed into food. The fragrant aroma, the crunchy sensation of the potato also the thick flavor of egg made me quite addicted to it. especially when the egg yolk blended  with the whole dish.
2. Pao Bhaji, is one of the classic menu that is favorite and popular. Processed curry with thick vegetables enjoyed along with warm and soft butter bun. The savory taste of curry taste very delicious and does not make it too much though it is eaten continously.
3. Hariyali Paneer Tikka, a unique dish that i have never seen before. Cottage cheese with an attractive shape, then a solid texture then combined with tikka sauce which gives a different unique flavor. Complete with fresh yogurt and an attractive mint aroma that provides the perfect combination.
4. Lamb Charcoal Biryani, this main dish is my favorite. A dish of biryani rice wrapped in a bowl made of charcoal "naan" along with a tender pieces of mutton and a very savory taste. Every scent of herbs & spices blends well with a pleasant Indian sensation of taste.
Bambaiya will be the right choice to enjoy interesting Indian cuisine. Here is also a large bar with a variety of delicious cocktails.

The dim lights look calm and elegant, and what's amazing is the giant LCD screen that stretches to the ceiling. There
