20 Best Indian Restaurants near Colton

“My friend and I had dinner at Maharaja Indian Cuisine in Colton, and honestly, it was such a great experience. The food tastes like real South Indian home-cooking, and there are so many delicious options for vegetarians. One of my absolute favorites was the Masala Dosa — perfectly crispy on the outside with that comforting, flavorful potato filling inside. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in their food and their service. They also have new dishes rolling out along with the classic favorites, so every visit feels like something to look forward to. If you love authentic Indian food — especially South Indian — or if you’re just looking for a great place with warm vibes and amazing flavors, Great Chai Maharaja is definitely worth a visit. One of my new go-to spots!“

“Hi, whanau; I am pleasantly blown away by the food we had at this restaurant. The quality of the food is the highest standard I have ever eaten. Time taken to cook might be more than in fast food restaurants, but it discloses freshness and tenderness in the meat. Perfectly balanced flavours, not too chilli hot or creamy and sweet everything was excellent. Clay oven / tandoori-made Indian beads were the best eaten in the last few years. Quantity with quality means happy puku and repeating customers. sorry...no photos...we were too busy enjoying the food.“

I wanted to order everything on the menu! We ordered a few vegetarian dishes and 2 orders of the garlic naan because why not?! Everything was freshly made and absolutely scrumptious. I will be back and recommend that you try this palace!“

“Tried Beyond Biryani for the first time and was really impressed. I ordered the lamb biryani and the butter chicken, and both were delicious. The lamb was tender, the biryani had great flavor without being overly spicy, and the butter chicken was rich, creamy, and paired perfectly with the rice. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu.“

“We enjoyed our lunch here today.“

“Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you—this place is a hidden gem. The food is incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and you can fully customize your spice level from mild to hot. They offer complimentary lentil soup that goes well with rice. Many restaurants lose their authenticity when they adapt to local tastes, but they manage to strike the perfect balance here. The lamb biryani was absolutely delicious; it’s cooked more in a flavorful tawa style rather than a traditional Hyderabadi or Southern style, leaving the spices beautifully balanced without being overpowering. I will happily drive another 80 miles just to eat here again.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The breakfast was fresh, authentic, and full of delicious flavors. Every dish was perfectly prepared and reminded me of homemade Indian food.

If you’re looking for outstanding Indian breakfast, excellent hospitality, and a wonderful dining atmosphere, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!“
