A family that stays together eats together. It might be a variation of the original saying, but it fits appropriately when you meet Dilraj Aryal and his younger brother Yuvraj Aryal. They are the proud owners of the Indian restaurant Bombay Grill, which has several branches in the Greater Toronto Area, including Burlington, Ajax, Hamilton, Milton and Markham.
The brothers worked as chefs in several Indian restaurants in Calgary and Toronto before starting their first restaurant in Burlington. “Therefore, it was a no-brainer and in 2002, we made the obvious but risky decision to open our first restaurant,” says Dilraj.
Dilraj says it was their dream to run their own establishment and they thought it was important to give it at least one good shot. “Failure was never an option, but it was still at the back of our minds even though we had all the necessary skills to be successful,” he says.
The brothers are originally from Delhi, India, but they opted to use Bombay in their restaurant’s name. “The city, Bombay, was more known to Canadians than Delhi, so it preceded over the latter,” says Dilraj. “And since we were excellent at making grilled food, we named our restaurant Bombay Grill.”

Bombay Grill provided more than enough food for 45 people attending a club dinner. The food was excellent, delivered good and hot. Everyone raved about how good the food was. Organizers take note!
It is an amazing restaurant and i am a hard food critique but this food has blown me away and it tastes like it is perfectly fresh . the prices are a little bit over but it is all worth every penny. The service and atmosphere is phenomenal. I found out about this restaurant 2 weeks ago when my bud told me about it so we went with another guy to the restaurant. They were all blown away and for sure i will go again and honestly i think this is definetely the best indian restaurant in all of burlington and now it has 4 locations that is when you know they are getting business. The decor and atmosphere is amazing and i will definetely come back. I also had a catering from this restaurant 2 days ago and man everbody loved it the we had no extras left and the kind free extras that the owners gave me was what made it enough. It was quite the large order
We ordered a party-size amount of tandoori chicken for an event. The person we spoke to on the phone quoted a price that was a little expensive, but still ok. When we went to pick-up the order, they did not honor the price quoted, and charged an additional $20 than what we had agreed upon. We had to go to the function so did not stay to argue. When we followed up the next day, they said sorry, but refused to refund the money. On speaking to other people, this has happened to them as well. So- ok food, poor service, and do not honor their prices. Also, it ended up being about $3 per piece of dark meat.
The food is delicious and reasonably priced. We love going to this restaurant as they serve food anytime between 12 noon and 10 p.m. If you are hungry at 3 or 4 p.m. you can always go this restaurant for a nice meal.
We all went out last night to the Bombay Grill and were had a great night!! We were promptly greeted at the door and sat very quickly. The lighting was nice as it created a soft ambiance, and very shortly after we were greeted by our waiter. He was a great guy, great sense of humour (hard to find these days), he took our drink order returned promptly, and returned quickly too. All of our food was quick, hot and very tasty!! It did not taste like it came out from frozen, but rather made there fresh. Our food was so delicious and tender. The amounts that they served were very appropriate - not like some restaurants where they serve you waaaayyyy too much food. We also had a chance to chat with our waiter and waitress and they were very friendly. I had paid as it was my Dad's birthday and I tipped the waiter generously, as it hard to get great service these days. I will definitely be back and recommend to other people :))
