Flavorful North Indian comfort food with standout kebabs and curries, but delivery reliability and occasional cleanliness and consistency issues mean dine-in or pickup is the safer bet.
Bombay Grill House delivers strong food quality with standout dishes like lasooni gobhi and pomegranate chicken kebab, backed by genuinely welcoming service and owner recognition that builds neighborhood loyalty. However, inconsistent execution and isolated safety concerns prevent a higher grade, while delivery reliability issues suggest dine-in is the safer choice. A solid neighborhood spot for Indian comfort food, though not yet a destination.
On Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, this spot feels warm and welcoming—the kind of room where staff remember faces and keep the water coming. Diners describe bold, fragrant sauces and kebabs that “melt in the mouth,” while a few note the room is cozy and low-key rather than flashy. One guest summed it up: “We walked over the bridge and left full and happy.” The cooking skews classic North Indian with house touches, more elevated traditional than modern fusion. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and lasooni gobhi win frequent praise, and the pomegranate chicken kebab is a sleeper hit. Portions are decent, but remember rice and naan are often extra, so value feels fair not bargain. If you care about reliability, dine-in or pickup beats delivery here. Families do well thanks to familiar kid-friendly dishes like chicken tikka, mild butter chicken, naan, and simple rice. The current menu offers several vegetarian options and some vegan starters. There is no dedicated kids menu noted, but you can build a child-pleasing meal from mild curries, plain rice, and naan.
