“The brunch buffet at Bombay Club includes an impressive selection of items with freshly baked naan served tableside for just $35. We began with the starters and piled on various salads and chutneys along with a sweet potato chaat. I naturally gravitate to the spicy red onion chutney and cucumber raita, both of which did not disappoint.” in Bitches Who Brunch
Ashok Bajaj’s Bombay Club is one of those old school DC restaurants that has been a favorite among politicians for ages. But unlike some of the city’s classic steakhouses, you won’t find a dated menu or indifferent service at Bombay Club. The restaurant serves up a stellar brunch buffet, properly made Manhattans and traditional Indian fare such as lamb roganjosh. The thali platters are a good way to sample a variety of dishes. And there’s even a piano player in the evening. in Eater
