Bombay Masala Indian Dining
7.6
A lower-profile Bay Ridge Indian dining room that plays best as a practical neighborhood option for curries, breads, and biryani staples. Keep it classic—one signature chicken dish, one bread, and a rice anchor—and it lands as a steady weeknight order rather than a destination meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka masala, Butter chicken, Chicken biryani
