Quick and satisfying lunch at Bombay Talkiz in northeast Edmonton, Alberta. The lunch buffet is a fantastic deal with a wide selection of flavorful dishes. Fresh, affordable, and convenient.
What's on the Bombay Talkiz lunch buffet
Unlike buffet-factory setups where yesterday's curries rotate under heat lamps, Bombay Talkiz goes live at 11 a.m. most days with fresh dishes. Monday through Sunday, noon to late evening. Closed Tuesdays until 4 p.m. Everything tastes like it came out of the kitchen thirty minutes ago because, at 11:15 a.m., it did.
Butter Chicken (Boneless) anchors the rotation. Roasted chicken in a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy — it's the first thing most people fill their plate with, and for good reason. The sauce clings to the chicken and tastes exactly the same at 11:15 a.m. as it does at 1 p.m. Pair it with fresh Garlic Naan, soft and warm from the tandoor. You'll find the full range of naan and breads in our complete menu. The combination is why the lunch crowd peaks between noon and 1:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Palak Paneer shows up on most days. Paneer (or tofu if you're vegan) in creamy spinach, spiced carefully — not the radio-station version where spinach is an afterthought. Vegetarians come back for this one. It sits front and center on the buffet line, not squeezed to the far end.
Goat Curry showcases slow-cooking depth. Tender goat pieces simmered with onion and tomato until the meat pulls clean and the gravy carries complexity most rush-style curries miss. This is the signature dish that separates Bombay Talkiz from buffet-factory operations across Edmonton.
Why northeast Edmonton keeps coming back
McConachie, Cy Becker, and Brintnell grew fast. Residents wanted authentic Indian food nearby, not a 20-minute drive south downtown. Bombay Talkiz opened in 2018 inside McConachie Landing West specifically to change that equation. Delivery covers these primary neighborhoods plus Eaux Claires, Belle Rive, and Crystallina Nera for those farther northeast.
Proximity matters. You're not waiting 30 minutes for delivery from across town or eating pre-made curries that travel. Your lunch is made to order and served fresh in a carnival-inspired dining room with color and playfulness. The tandoor cooking happens on-site, and naan comes out warm from the clay oven. The team recognizes regulars by name. This isn't a chain; it's a neighborhood restaurant.
The lunch buffet price point keeps families coming back. An all-you-can-eat spread of freshly prepared North Indian curries, breads, and vegetarian options beats what you'd spend ordering a la carte at most chains. Budget-conscious weekday lunches without compromising quality.
Vegetarian and vegan buffet options
The buffet isn't a meat-first operation. Vegetarians and vegans get real plates here, not a token handful of sides.
Paneer tikka rotates as an appetizer option, grilled and spiced with char marks from the tandoor. House-made chutneys come with: tamarind, mint, cilantro. They hit different than bottled versions. You also get Garlic Naan straight from the tandoor, plain roti, and a gluten-free bread option. Rice rounds it out.
Gol Gappe (pani puri) shows up on rotation days — crispy puris filled with spiced potatoes, chickpeas, and tamarind water that bites back. It's street food, which means it's naturally vegan. That's the pattern here: vegetarian options aren't padding. They're real dishes.
