In the shadows of the Fresh Meadows Theatre lies this little neighborhood movie house, originally known as the Mayfair Theatre. It opened in September 1940. It is currently a venue for Bollywood films.

Here is a recent photo that shows the Bombay Theater.
The name of this theater should be the Bombay Theater or at least have an aka name of Bombay Theater. A search for “Bombay” will not show a listing for this theater.

Sorry, tangentially off-topic, but someone asked:
“Quantum Leap” – the restaurant or the health food store are no longer there. They changed hands a few times and was mozying a long until the early 2000s when it changed hands after already being in dire straits. It was all downhill from there. In the restaurant’s place is a Colombian restauranmt named “Tienda Vieja” which is owned by a hard-working couple; they make VERY good food, reasonably-priced.
The health food store lay dormant for a short while until a Kosher spupermarkey moved in (2009?), named “Victoria Supermarket”. You don’t have to be Harry Helmsley to know that a supermarket on Fresh Meadow Lane – an industrial street with no parking – is a bad choice for a supermarket. They closed up shop a couple of business days ago and moved on.
This was a great porno movie house in the 1980s. I met many Hot Older daddies there. I would love to here from any other older men who went there.
