Authentic Indian Dining & Catering in Maine
Established in 1990, Bombay Mahal brings five decades of experience in the Indian restaurant industry to Maine. Our culinary journey began in Germany and the United Kingdom before our family settled in the United States, where we launched three of Maine's first Indian restaurants. Our menu showcases generations-old family recipes from Punjab alongside regional Indian classics and locally inspired adaptations rooted in Maine's cuisine. We specialize in crafting immersive dining experiences through in-restaurant service, large-scale catering for weddings and corporate events, food festival participation, and hands-on cooking classes.Committed to cultural authenticity, we have earned recognition as Maine's Best Indian & International Restaurant for 18 consecutive years. Our team combines deep culinary expertise with hospitality traditions that honor our Indian heritage while embracing local ingredients and preferences. Through digital gift cards and flexible catering solutions, we strive to make authentic Indian cuisine accessible to diverse audiences across New England.
