Dessert is just the start at Bombay Sweets
Like so many ethnic restaurants in Milwaukee, Bombay Sweets is a family establishment. Owner Narinder Kumar and his family serve authentic Indian food, snacks and sweets. The food is incredible but more importantly, the service exceeds all measures. Recognizing that good food is best enjoyed with good service, the Kumar family rivals your own extended family for hospitality and generosity.
