Bombay Grill

I LOVE this place sooooo much! The chicken tikka masala is my favorite and now… I know some people say that it’s too tomatoey for them but the chicken tikka masala can be made several different ways. I’ve had it creamy which is good too and I’ve had it tomatoey which is my favorite. It all depends on what type of Indian food it is (southern, northern… Etc)
Don’t give this place a one star because the chicken tikka masala was tomatoey, that’s the way it should be for this particular type of Indian food.
The garlic naan is so amazing but so strong people will drop like flies if you talk to them on your way home but honestly that’s the way I like it. After I eat that I just hide out for a few days once the garlic spores leave my system .
Great food, the service is a little weird. There’s this one server who’s just really awkward but I’ve come to know the guy and accepted that it’s just the way his personality is. He can be quite funny but so awkward haha. One time he refused to wrap the dish I had because I literally finished all chicken except for one tiny piece. But that’s the way my stomach works, once I’m full, I’m full I can’t force myself to eat more – so when he turned away I gave it to my boyfriend to finish and we all had a long laugh about it.
The samosas are pretty darn good, but still I’ve had better.
Mango lassi is soooooooo good and thick, I’d never order it for myself though cause I would never finish my food. That thing is a meal on its own. But my boyfriend orders it for himself and I always take sips here and there.
I had chicken pakora and it was meh. I want to try the onion one next time.
The complimentary rice pudding at the end isn’t exactly something I enjoy. I thought it was way too sweet – just my opinion. But then again I’m not a sweets person to begin with so maybe that could be it?
Will I come back? Absolutely! This place is tasty AND affordable.
5 stars

Decent indian food. Felt like some dishes werent as flavorful and spicy dishes werent spicy enough. Good service tho. Staff was friendly and attentive.

A friend and I decided to eat here for the first time on Sunday around 2pm. We ordered a few appetizers. As the waiter place food on table I noticed a small roach near my fork and had told him and He then crushes the roach with his FINGERS! Yeah… His fingers. We immediately lost our appetite after that. Not only did our waiter crush the roach with his fingers, he also refused to give us our check saying this was a «dine in restaurant, you can’t just order appetizers and go» after that stupid response I lost my cool he gave us the check and was nice enough to pay for what we received and didn’t eat. First and last time I step foot in the establishment! Flavorless food and the worst Indian food I ever had.

Ordered delivery from here twice. Very fast service, and pretty good Indian take out. My favorite is their lamb shank. We also ordered the garlic curry chicken. Chicken was a bit dry but sauce amazing. Definitely also have to try their Naan!

It was a place that I have wanted to try since it opened about a year ago but sadly I would not get to do so until Christmas Day when I found my original plans falling by the wayside. Since I was on my own I opted to not dine inside the place and as opposed to ordering for delivery, I walked over to the restaurant so I could absorb its vibe and see what it would be like were I sitting down over some eats with a companion. The Bombay Grill occupies the space that once housed an Asian Fusion space for those who wondered about the location in Bay Ridge.
I walked in and found the tables all up in the front with the counter in the back so I had to pass the diners to order up and fortunately there was an empty chair for me to wait for the food to be prepared. I’ll say maybe 10 – 12 tables in all on the main floor. I later learned that there was a downstairs space as well for larger parties but i did not get to actually see it. There were a handful of couples eating and it was quiet enough to enjoy conversation. I didn’t hear any music playing while I was there waiting and luckily there was also free WiFi available which let me check in and prepare these notes. I went with an order of Chicken Tikka Masala and some Somosas along with garlic nan. I had interest in a plate of the BBQ meats but there was a 20 or so minute prep time as opposed to the 10 the other stuff was going to take so I passed. Maybe upon a return. The whole order ran me about $ 20 and the staff was super pleasant.
I’ll definitely come here again and hopefully can expand upon this Unilocal.Nice work Bombay Grill.

Always have great foods from this place. My favorite main courses are chicken korma and chicken tikka masala. They also have a yummy banana pakora. Vegetable or chicken samosa is the best in NYC!
I live next door from Bombay restaurant, dine in once and order take out many of the times. They are super fast when I order for pick up.

I heard great things about this place and was excited to try it. I went in today and it was horrible!
When my boyfriend and I ordered, the waiter was being very pushy into us ordering more food. «THAT’S IT!!! YOU DON’T WANT THIS THIS AND THIS?!?»
Then, while taking our plates away, he grabbed them out of my hand while I was trying to put my utensils on the plate and had a very snobby attitude.
After giving him a tip he deserved for his rude behavior, he screamed in front of the whole restaurant to take it because he didn’t want it at all.
Although the food was okay, I rather amazing service and average food than excellent food and awful service.
Very disappointed in my visit. I have told everyone I know about my experience and would not recommend it to anyone.

Great food and a very nice relaxed atmosphere. They have no alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own (everyone does). They play Indian music videos on the large tv above the counter which adds to the experience and gives you something fun and colorful to look at :)

Their service is actually pretty good. They gave my friend and I free pompadoo while we were waiting for our third guest. We ordered a bombay aloo and they kept giving saying that what we wanted was a bombay live. My friend got the bombay aloo from here a while back so we thought we could get that except what we got was not a bombay aloo. I’m guessing it is a bombay live because they kept saying bombay live when we said aloo. My friend was a little pissed about that because she really wanted the bombay aloo from here because it’s good but apparently we didn’t get it this time. The lamb vindaloo was very good and they gave us free dessert so it wasn’t as bad as an experience here.

This place is a rare find. The staff is nice, they are not overly friendly and try to get under your skin pretending to be your friend and everything. They listen and patiently answer our questions; they are attentive but in a, shall we say, professional way. We felt welcomed and being taken good care of.
The food was great. Curries were thick rather than watery like many other Indian places. The flavor was just perfect, not overly spiced, not overly sweet or salty, but just right! And the sweet sweet complimentary rice pudding at the end was also a very nice touch. Little things like that gave us an overall very pleasant experience. I will definitely come back.

First meal at this restaurant and it was perfect!
–The service was amazing. Attentive, very nice waiters!
–The food was great. I tried both the vegetarian and chicken dishes. The chicken was delicios and completely non fatty. (which i love)
–They dont serve alcohol, so bring a bottle of wine and enjoy your dinner!
This will be my new go-​to local Indian !

If you know me, you know that Indian food is my number one favorite kind of food.
This place is great — the quality of the food really stands out to me.
I’ve been here a few times and have had:
Chicken tikka masala — amazin’
Butter Chicken — amazin’
Chili chicken — really spicy, but still good
Mango lassi — very rich and delicious
Aloo Papri — not the best… the crunchy pieces seemed stale
Onion pakora — my favorite, really flavorful
The people here are very nice, they don’t bother you too much while you’re eating, which I like. Also, they give us a small complimentary rice pudding before we leave. It’s just a cute place and my go-​to for dinner when I want Indian food.

in search of dinner in Bay Ridge — our original dinner plan having an hour wait, our backup having been very recently reformatted to just a pizzeria — we found available seating and solid Unilocal reviews pointing to Bombay Grill. and, to the delight of my wife’s cousin’s husband, it was BYOB too!
as we ended up sharing pretty much everything ordered, we got a respectable sample size to analyze. the mixed vegetarian appetizer platter was a good kickoff, especially the pakoras. as a big fan of lamb rogan josh, I ordered that as my entrée and was quite delighted with it. the saag paneer was also great.
everything is full of the spices and flavors that you expect from Indian cuisine, and at a fair price point. the staff here are friendly and the TVs showed various Indian music videos, which I enjoy.
Bombay Grill is pretty, pretty, pretty good, and I’m envious of our lack of similarly good Indian in Forest Hills.

Their Tikka Masala is perfection. They give you your moneys worth and a rice pudding dessert.
I had my food delivered and it was amazing. Cant wait to go in person.

(Copied from my other account, 2÷7÷2015)
Had the Naan and Tikka Masala.
Naan was warm, soft, fluffy. All the good things you want your flatbread to be. Easily the best part along with the tandoori sauce for the Tikka Masala. They offered 3 dips, I liked the chutney the best.
The Tikka Masala (they do chicken or lamb) was just about right. Not too thick, buttery, or sweet. It wasn’t spicy at all, which might be something people look for. The portions are pretty good, more than enough to leave you satisfied and filled (unless you just happen to be a going-​through-​puberty-​aged-​teenager after a few hours of balling). I wish the lamb were a bit softer, but that was an afterthought.
Service was excellent. Staff were timely, courteous, and helpful.
Overall, would highly recommend. Can’t go wrong here. For what you’re paying, the food is a very good, and the service helped easily push this to a 5.

Great place! I came here with my husband for dinner. We ordered our usual, chicken tikka masala and beef curry. The curry here is packed with flavor and has a slight thick consistency, which I prefer. We also ordered garlic nan which was baked perfectly.
Service could not have been better. The minute my glass of water hit half way empty, a waitress came out of nowhere to fill it up.
I would highly recommend this place.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. It was pretty quiet but they do get a lot of take out orders. The food was really tasty. I ordered the chicken curry and chicken tikka masala. Both were quite good except the chicken was a little dry.
Note: they give unlimited rice & offers free rice pudding dessert

The best Indian takeout food I’ve ever eaten in bay ridge! Appetizers of samosas and aloo tikki were so good, the thought of the aloo tikki on a burger bun with chutney and onions already has me wanting to go back.
Chapati was good, garlic naan tasted way too strongly of raw garlic for my liking.
Saag paneer as my main was good, but lacking a little bit of heat. It was bland, but I probably should have asked for it to be made more spicy as I noted another reviewer did.
Overall loved the food, best $ 25 I’ve spent on food in a while… Delivery took 50 minutes only from a couple blocks away, but I’m willing to wait for such good food!

It’s a rare opportunity when you find Indian food on the side of the tracks and it is a restaurant that deserves ever star.
Top notch service, excellent food and beautiful décor, Bombay grill is an amazing and tasty addition to bay ridge. I was surprised to find this restaurant so close to home.
It is a restaurant where every table has a flower and the inside glows. You are greeted by the manager who assists you to your table and pulls it out for you. The menu is filled with delicious choices at great prices — two samosas for $ 3.25 (instead of that last place that charge $ 6). I ordered the chicken tikka masala and a mango lassi. My friend has the lamb biryani — we shared naan. Before our meals came out they brought a side of crisp flat wafer like bread (sorry don’t know the name!) and a tray of side sauces to dip with.
Our glasses were never empty and our meals came out quick, amazing food!!! My entrée was nothing less of mouth watering. It was hard to concentrate on talking (I was a bit too excited I found Indian food in bay ridge). Shortly after they collected our plates the waiter came over with two dessert and said «dessert on us». (my eyes turned into hearts)
It was an excellent dining experience I recommend to everyone ! They even do take out (move over Chinese food: p)
I am so happy bay ridge has Indian cuisine and seeing how well they treated us, hopefully will stay for a long time !

The aroma of warm spices and curry when you walk into the restaurant, I know I’m going take that smell home with me. The dining area looks romantic, from the fresh roses on the table, to the lighting.
They offer a daily special ²⁴⁄₇. For $ 14.95, you get an appetizer, an entrée, naan, and rice. I gotta tell you guys, it was alot of food for me, and yes, I’ll admit it… I usually eat big portions.
I chose the Alu Tikiyas for the appetizer part of my daily special. Never had this before and it’s actually a potato cake made with chutney and chickpeas. Wasn’t bad, crispy on the outside and creamy inside. All the sauces paired really well with them, sweet tamarind sauce and this spicy green one that’s similar to a chili sauce.
The naan is soft and fluffy, I dipped it in every single condiment they included with the entrée and the appetizer. Among all the sauces on the table, mango chutney was my favorite.
For the entrée I went for the Chicken Tikki Masala, my to go at any Indian joint. Beautiful orange red color, creamy, sweet, and tangy, just like how it should be and it is the best tikki masala I’ve had. There was more than enough sauce to pour over all the rice and sopping my entire naan in. I think I’ve found my new joint for Indian food, but the hunt is still on.
