Master Critic Review

Bombay Grill House 8.1
Greenpoint
Bombay Grill House is a cozy Indian restaurant on Manhattan Avenue serving a broad menu of curries, biryanis, and tandoor plates with notably warm, attentive service. It reads as a casual neighborhood dining room first, but pulls in destination traffic from nearby Williamsburg venues thanks to its reliable flavors and generous portions.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala, Bombay Chicken Biryani, Vegetable Samosas
