Bombay Bustle can host private dinners, cocktail receptions and corporate gatherings for up to 108 seated or 150 standing guests across two floors. The restaurant is at 29 Maddox Street in Mayfair, London, off Regent Street. It offers three formats: group dining for 6 to 16 guests, the Retiring Room for up to 44 seated, and exclusive hire of the whole restaurant.
Seminars and company events
Bombay Bustle is a restaurant, so it suits dinner-led business events rather than full-day conferences. The official site names business dinners and corporate gatherings among its uses. Teams of 6 to 16 can book semi-private dining, either at the sharing tables of the Carriage or in the Retiring Room downstairs. Larger client dinners and end-of-year parties fit the Retiring Room, or the whole restaurant when the guest list grows. Standing receptions are covered by a dedicated party menu.
Weddings and receptions
Exclusive hire is described as suitable for weddings, milestone celebrations and large corporate gatherings. Both floors and both bars are reserved for one party. Up to 108 guests can be seated, and the site gives 150 as the standing figure. Bespoke packages are available. The site does not mention ceremonies, so plan the venue for the wedding meal or the reception, and confirm the details with the events team.
Rooms and capacities
The Retiring Room is on the lower ground floor. It has deep booths, ruby-toned leather, soft lighting and a private bar. It holds up to 44 seated or 60 standing and is offered for semi-exclusive hire. Exclusive hire covers the Bar, the Carriage, the Dining Room and the Retiring Room. The Carriage is the lively room with sharing tables, and the Dining Room is the more formal space. Group dining for 6 to 16 guests uses the Carriage or the Retiring Room.
Catering
All food comes from the restaurant's own kitchen, with a menu inspired by Mumbai home cooking and street food. For standing receptions, the Party Menu offers canapés and bite-sized dishes. For seated groups, the Feast of Bombay menu serves curries, grilled kebabs and desserts family-style, for sharing. The team will also write a bespoke menu for a specific occasion. A seasonal festive menu runs from November 9 to January 3. Cocktails, wines and soft drinks are served from the bar, which is styled after an Indian railway carriage. A private dining brochure is available on request from the site.
History and setting
The interiors draw on the railway system of Bombay, which gives the spaces their names and their look: original art, warm timber and vintage details. The restaurant sits just off Regent Street and Oxford Circus, in the middle of the West End shopping and office district, so guests arrive from offices or hotels on foot.
Getting there
The address is 29 Maddox Street, Mayfair, London W1S 2PA, close to Oxford Circus. Lunch is served from 12 pm to 2:30 pm Monday to Saturday and dinner from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Private events are arranged through the event enquiry form on the private dining page of the official site. The restaurant cannot accommodate prams or pushchairs, so mention this to guests who travel with children.
