Bombay Curry Company, a staple in Del Ray since 1995, closed in January as owners Nicky and Balraj Bhasin retired. The decision resulted from "staffing challenges, a need for Balraj to focus on his health, as well as some family matters that have been put on the back burner for quite some time."

Bombay Curry Company's website remains active with links to Balraj Bhasin's recipes.
