Bombay Palace is a long-running neighborhood Indian restaurant in Itabashi, open since August 2002 just off the old Nakasendo road near Itabashi Ward Office-mae Station. The dining room seats 36, including wheelchair-accessible and stroller-friendly tables, and runs fully non-smoking during lunch service, making it a regular stop for nearby office workers, city hall staff, and families.
The kitchen is known for mutton-forward cooking: mutton curry and mutton biryani are consistently the dishes reviewers come back for, alongside butter chicken, saag chicken, and a rotating daily vegetable curry simmered without any flour, so its thickness comes purely from slow-cooked vegetables and spice. Lunch sets (a Thali set and a ‘Maharaja’ set) run under 1,000 yen and include naan or rice with one free refill plus a chai to finish, while the biryani lunch comes with a cup of curry soup, pickles, and salad on the side.
Weekend lunch service runs later than on weekdays, and the kitchen offers full takeout across the menu along with private-party bookings for groups of 20 to 50 and a wine, beer, sake, and cocktail list alongside the curries. The restaurant is within 5-8 minutes on foot of Itabashi Ward Office-mae, Shin-Itabashi, Itabashi, and Shimo-Itabashi stations, putting it within easy reach of four different rail lines.
