"I first tried Bombay Stop a few years ago and found it to be a pleasant little takeaway. However, after ordering from them tonight for the first time in a while, I was extremely disappointed. While the food arrived hot and on time, it was severely lacking in spices and flavor, making it a far cry from a typical Indian meal. I have dined at many Indian restaurants in Eastbourne, some of which were excellent and some not so great. However, this experience compelled me to write my first ever review on Tripadvisor. The vindaloo I ordered was disappointingly mild, with a color and taste more reminiscent of a korma. The Bombay potatoes were equally bland, blending in with the main curry dish. The lack of fresh spices and tangy tomato flavor was noticeable, resulting in a bland, unappetizing brown goo. It seemed as though the dishes were cooked in the same sauce, with no distinct flavors or textures. A vindaloo should be spicy and flavorful, not resembling a basic curry with added chili powder. It appears that Bombay Stop missed the mark on this occasion."
