Best Indian in Bay Ridge
Master Critic Review
Bombay Grill
8.1
A Bay Ridge Indian kitchen with a broad menu that shines most on tandoor-grilled meats and well-spiced curry bases, with enough range for groups who want variety. Order like a regular—one grilled starter, one curry, and rice or naan—and it reads as a complete meal instead of menu sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka, Karahi, Gobi Manchurian

Insider tip: Pair one grilled item with one curry for the best balance.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; usually manageable on nearby side streets but can get tighter after 7pm.
Dress code: Casual to smart-casual—jeans are fine; no need to dress up unless you want to.
Noise level: Moderate—lively during peak dinner hours but still easy to hold a table conversation.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes without a reservation during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—strong selection of vegetable curries, paneer dishes, and starters.
Vegan options: Some options available—vegetable curries can often be made vegan if you ask.
Gluten-free options: Several naturally gluten-free curries and grilled items; naan is not gluten-free, but rice-based meals work well.
Best For
Better for: Group dining and variety—stronger than smaller Indian spots when you want both tandoor and curry options at the same table.
Skip if: If you want ultra-regional Indian specialties or a fine-dining experience, you may prefer a more focused or upscale alternative.
