I've been back to Bombay Bistro a few more times. Here's what I ordered...
Plain dosa was a lot more crispy than I'm used to but had nice flavor to it. The two chutney's served were the reddish tomato and ginger. Very good! Next time I'll try the stuffed dosa because it probably will be less crispy.
Curry (veggie) was good but agree with OB that it was lacking something.
Jalfrezi (chicken) was very good, and definitely would order it again!
Shahi Korma (veggie) was also another to put on repeat... very good.
Eggplant Bharta was okay, not very smooth but was a bit more...chunky?
Cilantro chutney and raita had a bit too much sweetness for my taste.
Achar (pickle) was good. Sometimes you have to dig around in the achar to avoid the inedible chunks.
...but I love the flavor of it.
Used to love extra spicy foods but recently have toned it all down to "medium". Not sure why I can't tolerate the over the top spicy anymore. It just seems to over power the food if the spiciness is "pain" level.
So overall a good choice in TV.
I do miss my places up north too. Both favs of mine were in Indian groceries, super casual diner style. India Bazaar in Minneapolis. Desi Foods in Eagan, MN. Me - *goes off to corner to cry*
