Boca Raton Restaurants: Three Kitchens, Three Approaches

Farmer's Table: A Scratch Kitchen on North Military Trail

Farmer's Table is at 1901 North Military Trail in Boca Raton. The restaurant describes its mission as serving wholesome, flavorful food that nourishes both body and soul, and sums up its approach as consciously sourced and chef driven.

The menus are described as chef-driven and mindfully sourced, focused on feel-good food. The restaurant says it uses organic, sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients free of harmful additives, that every dish is scratch made, and that it partners with trusted farms and purveyors. It also says 99% of its kitchen is from scratch, including dressings, sauces, breads and pastries.

Herbs and greens are harvested from an on-site organic garden. The restaurant says it cooks exclusively with Zero Acre oil and uses no seed oils. Honey comes from Coastal Pastures in Delray Beach and is used in teas, dressings and desserts.

Breads and pastries are baked in-house daily using certified organic flours, from baguettes to pretzel rolls. The breakfast and brunch menus include nitrate-free bacon and pasture-raised, cage-free, free-range eggs. Burgers use grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free beef from Châtel Farms in Georgia; the cattle behind them are grass-fed Angus and Akaushi. Chicken comes from Springer Mountain Farms, raised without antibiotics, steroids or growth stimulants. Seafood is wild-caught where possible and chemical-free and responsibly farmed. The restaurant also offers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes.

The menu lineup includes breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, beverage, dessert, kids, happy hour, takeout, Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving to-go menus. Breakfast is served Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 11am, lunch Monday through Friday from 11am to 5pm.

Bombay Grove: North Indian and Mughlai Cooking on West Yamato Road

Bombay Grove Indian Kitchen + Bar is at 1200 W Yamato Rd, A5, in Boca Raton. It serves authentic North Indian and Mughlai cuisine, and describes itself as an Indian kitchen and bar. Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week on West Yamato Road.

The kitchen grinds its spices in house and builds gravies from scratch each morning. Kebabs are fired in a clay tandoor, and the tandoor runs hot all service. Dals sit overnight. Breads never leave the kitchen more than a minute after they leave the oven. The menu draws on North Indian, Mughlai and coastal cooking rather than any single region. Lentils are soaked overnight and spices roasted until their aromas release, and marination gives flourishes to simple daily foods.

The restaurant says it is known for Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Chops and Tandoori Mixed Grill.

The full menu covers Appetizers, Tandoori, Vegetarian Entrées, Non-Vegetarian Entrées, Harbor Specials, Soups & Salad, Rice & Pulao, Tandoori Breads, Sides & Condiments, and Desserts. Cocktails, wine and beer are chosen to sit next to chilli, tamarind and smoke rather than fight them.

The restaurant offers dine in, online ordering and catering, as well as takeout, private events and gift cards. It is vegetarian friendly, with vegan options, gluten free options, family friendly and group dining. Each dish is crafted by chefs who cook the traditional way and plate it for a modern Boca Raton table; the restaurant says what it ultimately values most is authenticity.
