50 Best Indian Restaurants near Westminster

“Amazing tasting food!
Vegetable Samoosa, Daal Tadhka Lentil, rice, and Naan were delicious. Prices were very good, and very nice clean table settings, plates, and inside. The outside, which looks misleading, is nothing like the clean interior. I highly recommend this restaurant!

For the record, for all other Indian restaurants: Take notice of how Daal Tadhka should be properly cooked and looked like, as was the case at this great restaurant.“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“FANTASTIC FOOD AND SERVICE 🌟💓
Masala Waves is an absolute gem. We started with the tandoori fish and the samosa chaat and wow both were bursting with flavor. The fish was perfectly cooked tender and packed with smoky spices and the samosa chaat had the perfect balance of crispy tangy and comforting. The mango lassi was so refreshing and creamy easily one of the best I’ve had. The chicken biryani truly stole my heart. It honestly reminds me of my mom’s cooking. The spices the aroma and the tenderness of the chicken made it feel like a warm homemade meal made with love. On top of all that the service was wonderful and so kind and welcoming which made the experience even better. I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to come back 💓🍛✨“

“Delicious Indian food that is not your usual restaurant fare. Friendly accommodating owners. Picked up with no issues from their Anaheim restaurant on Lincoln near Western.“

“Prabh gave amazing Service and the food was some of the best I’ve had. Definitely in my top 2 Indian Restaurants, and it makes me sad cause I’m not from here. I’ll be dreaming of the food while back in Seattle. Oh well, just another reason to come back to Cali!“

“I ordered Aloo Paratha to go, and while the 25‑minute wait was frustrating, the taste made up for it. Back in 2018, when I was in India, I often enjoyed parathas, but I’ve never found that same authentic flavor anywhere else—until today. For the first time, it felt like I got that taste back.“

“What a lovely surprise! We had been eyeing Himalayan Delights since it opened and finally ordered take out a few months ago. It’s been on repeat ever since! We have tried the butter chicken, chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, tandoori, naan, and our absolute favorite is the chicken momo!! Omg it’s amazing. Wonderful service, delicious and authentic food….it’s our go-to for Indian/Nepalese. Must try!“

“Great service and great food! My family loves this place!! 👍🏻“

“Good restaurant I love the food“

“A man from a far country came to this restaurant, tired and hungry, and bought some Indian food. Much to his embarrassment the credit card denied the transaction. No problem, said the seller, take it and pay another time. God Bless you noble @Sandeep Kumar and your staff ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיך“

“RT Kitchen is truly a hidden gem. Raju bhai and his team crafts the best Gujarati eats and snacks I have ever tried. I have been impressed by every item on the menu I've tried so far. I used to eat at places down the street in Artesia, but RT Kitchen is now my go-to! It is a smaller establishment with three tables for dining in and an assortment of packaged snacks behind the counter.

The Vada Pav comes on a lightly toasted pav and fried potato filling. Their Samosas (my favorite) have a very flakey crust, and a great crust to filling ratio. The Kachori was delicious too. Their green and red (sweet) sauces are perfect for dipping these!

The Fafda Jalebi and Khaman were excellent and tasty mid-afternoon snacks.

The Mini Thali or Gujarati Thali, available weekends only, makes a tasty meal whenever I'm more hungry.

The Shrikhand is a great complement to balance out the spices after a tasty meal! All other Shrikhands I try elsewhere now leave me disappointed.

The snacks behind the glass counter are unique and tasty too! My favorite is the Dhani, similar to popcorn. Great snack when watching a movie at home. The Potato Gathiya, and Sev Mamra are excellent too!“

“They have really good food“

“The owner Sarfraz, was very hospitable and kept good company while waiting for food. We ordered the chicken biryani and Nihari, and both were so delicious! We ended our meal with the pink tea, which is a must, since it's not very common to see at Desi restaurants. Highly recommend eating here!“

““Feels like home, easily one of the best Indian restaurants in town!”

India’s Spice Grill is a true hidden gem and one of the most authentic Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. It’s a family-owned and operated place, and you can feel that warmth the moment you walk in.

Their Butter Chicken is hands-down the best I’ve tried, creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The tawa roti took me straight back home with its soft texture and fresh-off-the-griddle aroma. Everything here tastes freshly made with love, not like the reheated food you find in many places.

What really sets this restaurant apart is Satnam Paji, who welcomes you like family and treats you like one too. He genuinely cares about every guest and makes sure you leave happy and full.

If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, generous portions, and that comforting “ghar ka khana” feel, this is the place. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Indian flavor and hospitality!“

“This small Indian restaurant is not the best place to eat in. It gets hot inside and there is no air conditioning. However, it is perfect for takeout. The food is consistently delicious. The butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and chicken tikka masala are all full of flavor. The garlic naan is soft, warm, and really tasty.

Service is fast and efficient, so picking up your order is quick and easy. If you are looking for great Indian food to take home, this is a solid choice.“

“They have the best naan I’ve ever had! Delicious Indian food including vegetarian, meat and fish entrees, and a wide selection of dosa and biryanis. Very friendly staff and a cosy environment. Have enjoyed it every time we’ve eaten there.“

“This is our favorite spot for a late breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Order a couple of dosas or idlis and filter coffee.If you are still hungry, a fried rice and gobi Manchurian to share. Or some of their fritters. We love their outside patio and can easily spend an hour or two when we are here. It's the perfect lazy weekend experience for us! Love their rose milk and badam milk too.
Oh and I got to say this, I especially love their sambhar. I haven't noticed any veggies except for pearl onion, yet it is very finger licking good! Better than my homemade version with all the vegetables. This might be my favorite sambhar at a restaurant actually. Maybe ever! They have gotten the sambhar powder/masala perfectly.

Request to owner - If it's your own creation, please consider selling the sambhar powder. I would love to try and recreate the same flavours at home. Thank you!“

“Good south indian vegetarian food .free parking available vengatesh perumal idol like I am in Thirupathi or USA. There is outside seating as well. I can see the nice and big Aquarium where kids can enjoy their time and the capacity of the restaurant is around 150 seating. Filter coffee has taken my heart as it is very tasty I like for bhimas south indian vegetarian food“

“We were hoping this restaurant was going to be as good as their Fullerton location. Unfortunately, they have a ways to go. Admittedly, it is a high bar to cross. We started with Pani Puri. It was ok but not as good as I've had in Little India (Artesia). We also had Saag Paneer, which turned out to the best dish of the night, and Peshawari Chicken Karahi. The chicken dish was promised to be a bit spicy but turned out to be fairly mild unless one would eat the sliced jalapenos on top. The sauce was a bit sour and lacked depth. We asked for some spicy chutney which helped a bit. The nan, raita, and rice were perfect. My hope is that they send their Fullerton chefs in to give the chefs here a refresher course. Either that or we'll have to drive farther to Fullerton. Definitely will try again and order some different dishes. Our server was very friendly and helpful.“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“AMAZING value. Best value of any restaurant in entirety of north OC.

Friendly staff, flavorful food, suspiciously low prices. They give you huge portions, had about 8 different dishes on hand, free toppings (fried onions, chutney, etc.) which I’ve never seen offered before.

Dear lord please come and give them your money do not let them go out of business. Look at this stock pot full of flavor“

“Best ethnic food we’ve had:). Thank you so much!!“

“It’s an Indian restaurant with most of the Indian staff .They know the real taste of India“

“It was real authentic food with large portion , served nice and hot and tasty to eat. The chef and people are very friendly and nice . They cater to your needs if needed .“

“it had been a few years since we were here. That was a mistake. We realize had much we missed it. The ambiance, the service and oh my, the food was delicious. My Indian husband and his Indian nephew and cousin were with us. We had 3 appetizers. I had the chicken Biryani, mild as requested, but very flavorful, hubs had a lamb dish and the others had vegetarian 😋. My husband complimented the owner when we were leaving. White tablecloths, fine artwork, authentic food, served artfully. A true 5 star dining experience. Royal Khyber now moves to the top of our go to restaurants 😀“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“I, just want to say that this restaurant that I went to today
with my father was outstanding and amazing. It, was just a wonderful delight and treat. Going, to some other restaurants today would not have done me any satisfaction but this was a good upliftment to my spirits!
Thank you so much, Raina Kader“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“We want to thank Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the entire Rasraj team for being amazing caterers for our wedding day and reception! Hemal, Hetal, and Saumil worked with us months in advance to create an amazing all-day wedding menu that was unique, delicious, and incredibly creative. They walked us through numerous options and ideas during our tasting with our family and were extremely professional and on top of things on the big day.

The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the dishes, and we even had family from India commenting that some of the entrees were the best they had ever had. The fun presentations, like drinks and appetizers served pre-ceremony, were a big hit and added a special touch to the event.

Rasraj was fully prepared with all the equipment and supplies and arrived on time, ensuring that no one went hungry. The service was seamless, and their attention to detail was impressive. If you’re looking for amazing catering for your wedding or event, look no further than Rasraj! Thanks so much, Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the Rasraj team!“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“

“Went to the US for a holiday 2 years ago and still to this day talk about this restaurant! In Love!!! Amazing food, kind employees. I will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later :) yummmm“

“Even though I don't have much background on Rajshtani cuisine but I loved the Maharaja Thalia. 3 different kinds of lentils were my most favorite. Not sure what their name was. Bit expensive at $30 per person but very well done though.“

“VERY HOME TOUCH SEEET AND DELICIAS CHAT. WE HAD PAN SEV PURI DABELI AND BHEL. FAMILY OWENED AND OPERATED CHAT HOUSE. VERY TESTY. DO TRY ONCE AND U WILL FAN FOR EVER. NAIK FMLY.“

“This is a restaurant specialize in Southern Indian cuisine, which is 100% vegetarian but not vegan. Unassuming with friendly waitstaff, highly recommended. Some dishes can be quite spicy, please consult with the waiter about the degree of spiciness of a particular dish.“

“Vishnu Catering did a spectacular job at the event that I planned for ~100 people in Santa Barbara. They showed up on time, prepared, and were very professional to work with throughout the entire process. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - every single person at the event (desi and non-desi) enjoyed the food and praised the food to us. Of note, the rasmalai, double ka meetha, mutton curry, mango daal, chai, apollo fish, mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and more. You can't go wrong by choosing Vishnu Catering for your event. They were a hit. Thanks Ram, for all the effort and for helping making our day so special.“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“I moved to Louisiana a couple years ago and miss this place sooo much!! Mama is so sweet. She always took care of me! One time my blood sugar dropped while i was waiting for my naan and she fixed me up a little plate so fast and sat with me to make sure i was ok. The food there is delicious! I can’t find it here like they make it! My favorites are vegetable korma - saag aloo - and chicken tiki masala!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“Chef Sangeetha will have your taste buds lighting up with all of her delicious recipes and dishes. Daily new specials keep you trying lots of dishes and creates a fantastic variety!

Go see for your self.

Yuuummmm!“

“Sweet and friendly server , small restaurant. Several booths and a few small tables. Not fancy but comfortable.

We ordered 2 lamb dishes and one vegetarian, all were tasty. The korma was noted on other recommendations so we tried and were not disappointed.

The dessert was a small portion so I wished the kheer had a bit more serving for the cost.

I keep forgetting to take photos but other reviews include.

Beer and wine options but no cocktails fyi.

Extra note/ This is Definitely better than another Indian restaurant further down Second st amidst the sport bar district. ( Natraj) That one has small portions, less fresh, and less friendly service. They also upcharge / don't even include rice with their entrees.

We will visit“

“Tasty Afghani food is featured in this family restaurant run by Mustafa. We relished the Kabuli Polo, Mantu, and Karahi Chicken with freshly baked flat bread. The lightly refreshing Mango lassi helped us digest the food. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for my birthday!“
