Bombay BBQ Brussels

Indian fusion plates to share

Emilia from Brussels

I'm Emilia, I'm Italian and I have been living in Brussels since 2018.

"The main idea is to order different plates (meat, fish, veggies) and share them! And according to the best Indian tradition, the food gets quite spicy..."

It might be hard to say no to a dinner plan which includes Naan bread and Butter chicken. It might be even harder if that is combined with a cool location, fresh cocktails, and well, more Indian food. Located on a hidden corner of Chaussée d’Ixelles, Mission Masala - Bombay BBQ has recently opened its door to Indian food lovers in Brussels. Impossible not to fall in love with the decoration of the restaurant: posters, frames, and other objects which seem to belong to an old travel collection, bring a quite unique vibe to the place.

The main idea is to order different plates (meat, fish, and vegetarian options available) and share them, and I mean, who does not love that idea already? From the more traditional butter chicken in an old Delhi style to more fusion plates such as the slow-cooked pork ribs and fried chicken with madras mayo, you will just wish to have enough people at the table to order the whole menu. According to the best Indian tradition, food gets quite spicy. So why not get a refreshing cocktail to keep enjoying your dinner? We tried a homemade margarita with a mango twist: taste buds said thank you. To conclude the dinner with an even more refreshing serving, we shared a Kulfi, a homemade traditional ice cream flavored with cardamom and pistachios: we enjoyed every spoon of it. The perfect dinner plan for a late (and very warm) summer evening!

Brussels Spotter Emilia

I'm Emilia, I'm Italian and I have been living in Brussels since 2018. I'm a food enthusiast who loves discovering new spots, as well as experimenting with different cuisines by cooking for friends and family. Why Brussels? Brussels is a unique city, a multinational crossroads that brings together people from all over the world and with different cultures. One of the things I love about Brussels is the chance to try food from so many different cuisines. You can never really get bored here!

Sandwiches Japanese style

Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

Nona Pasta

Honest Italian food

"Nona Pasta" is my go-to place in Brussels for proper Italian food. Nona uses only organic Belgian ingredients because it's just better that way!

Zinneke Brussels

Zinneke

The other statue

The "Zinneke" in Brussels is a statue of a dog that, to me, is an accurate symbol of my city with so many contrasts, but that likes to laugh about them...

La Cambre Abbey Brussels

La Cambre Abbey

Abbey, park and arts in the city

"La Cambre Abbey" is an abbey tucked away in a corner of a small square in Brussels. I'm sure most visitors never notice it. It's a precious gem.

Le Corbeau Brussels

Le Corbeau

Fun dancing on tables

There's nothing in Brussels like "Le Corbeau". It's a brasserie, a local restaurant/bar, but at night it becomes the opposite of Cinderella's fairytale...

Bois de La Cambre

Preferred spot for a sunny day

"Bois de La Cambre" is the preferred spot for me on a sunny day in Brussels. There is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic.

Garcia

Portuguese pasteis de nata

"Garcia" in Brussels is the perfect café to have some pasteis de nata, the delicious Portuguese dessert. If I lived in Portugal, I'd be double the weight.

Parc Leopold Brussels

Parc Leopold

Little gem in the European Quarter

"Parc Leopold" is quiet, it's small and it's hidden. It's one of my favorite places to picnic in Brussels or to rest on one of the benches.
