Bombay BBQ

Flamboyant posters, shimmering string lights, neon street lamps… After making Ghent and Antwerp dance, Tim Van Eden Heuvel and Pavan Bajwa (Mission Masala) have brought their Bollywood-esque bric-a-bric to BXL. Bombay BBQ is the cool new kitsch place to be on Chaussée d’Ixelles, with its flashy pink facade behind which chef Ela Waraja stews up traditional-fusion small plates seasoned with spices from across India: decadent fish tacos with curry leaf tartar sauce; divine Old Delhi butter chicken, aka grilled chicken in a creamy buttery sauce; Papadi Chaat with tangy masala potatoes and a refreshing tamarind, mint and fennel chutney; and irresistible Indian-Chinese Oh My Gobi (extra crispy fried cauliflower in a sticky spicy sauce). And for the sides, there’s butter naan and saffrony rice pilaf. If you’re having trouble choosing, opt for the two-person prix-fixe menu, which will have bellies dancing. Namaste! // Ambre Oisy

FEELING THIRSTY? The bar boasts house cocktails infused with spices (€12 to €13.50), a series of traditional coolers like the mango lassi (€5) or the iced masala chai (€3.90), and a few natural wines, including Esotico by Sassara (€7 a glass).

PRICE: Prix-fixe menu €79 (for two), à la carte €7-20, sides €4 to €4.50, desserts €9.
