14 Best Indian Restaurants near Branford

“Good flavors but the price is more reflective of their location because the portions were smaller than expected, even the included rice ran out quickly. And spice levels reflected the community they’re located in too, “medium” was a mild in other towns.“

“Extremely delicious, authentic and reasonable. The dining room is very casual but the food is fantastic and the service and ambience is friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps or obstacles to entry.“

“I need to eat fast and cheap to go back to work. I was going to Chipotle but decided to walk an extra block, and that was an amazing decision.Similar price but much better benefit. The food is delicious, and fresh. I was afraid that the “mild” option was going to be very spicy, but it was not. A ordered a mango smoothie just in case. And was simply delicious.“

“Very good crispy and flavorful chicken! I ordered the Badmaash Mac and Cheese with the light spice option and it was perfect, not too spicy at all. I also had the mango lassi and cardamom cheesecake iced cream. The inside of the store is extremely clean and organized and the customer facing service crew was very nice.“

“Had dinner here last night. The service was great and the food tasted delicious but the portions are really small for the price. My son order tikka masala and there were 5 small chunks of chicken for over $20! My biryani was also very tasty but it was hard to find the chicken in it, so it was mostly rice. Not sure it’s really worth the money.“

“The food is amazing, our waiter was very professional and prompt and I love the peaceful vibes of the restaurant.One thing: if you want *ACTUAL SPICY* be sure to point that out. I guess their default is “American spicy” which is… very mild even for me. It doesn’t take away from how delicious the food is though.“

“Favorite Indian food in New Haven.Note: I’ve always ordered off the menu. Mostly because I eat there for dinner (no buffet offered). I think I was there once for lunch, but the buffet didn’t have some of my favorite items, so I just ordered from the menu.“

“Sooooo good. Just had to get an understanding of their spiciness scale. I like to order in between hot and Indian hot. The staff were very helpful and attentive and we had a great chat with the owner Mahesh. Can't wait to go back to try their chicken wings next time!“

“Please allow me to pay ultimate appreciation to Cumin Indian Restaurant, Hamden, CT Mr. Sukra Shrestha for sponsoring Knowledge for South Asian Cultural Change: Sexual Violence Seminar that took place yesterday at Branford CT. The food provided was very delicious and all the attendees enjoyed it. #besthakkanoodles“

“I had driven by Sitar for about 7 months now and finally decided to give it a try on a rainy day. I am an avid Indian food lover so whenever there is an opportunity to add a new Indian restaurant to my rotation, I take the chance. When we stepped in there were no patrons inside but there were quite a lot of doordash orders being picked up - glad they are doing well on that front. We sat down and ordered lamb samosa, regular naan, chicken vindaloo, lamb rogan josh, a masala chai, and a thandai. The food exceeded my expectations and was one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in CT. The vindaloo was perfectly hot and seasoned, the lamb rogan josh packed all the seasoning in there that I craved. It overall was great!“

“This was a first visit to House of Naan for my wife and I, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We ordered onion bhajis, naan bread, and chicken Madras and Jalfrezi. The level of heat is to order, and my wife had the mild Jalfrezi while I upped the spice a bit on my dish. Both were excellent, and the bhajis were crisp and well seasoned. The portions were large enough to leave enough for lunch the next day. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the kheer or a mango lassi, but I left more than full. Next time!“

“Started off with their punjabis samosas which were very fresh & delicious. Deep fried to perfection , the filling was lightly spiced and their tamarind sauce went really well with the samosa. For main, we ordered Makhani Mac & Cheese, Gunpowder Shrimp , Butter chicken & Pav Bhaji which all were so goood! Overall, friendly service , beautiful decor, delicious food & creative hand-crafted cocktails! Great presentation! Highly recommend this place! Please make reservations as they tend to be very busy even on weekdays!“

“Great little food truck along the wharf in New Haven. Very fresh and made to order. My daughter ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, light on spice, and it was a huge portion, piping hot and with mellow spices. I ordered the saag paneer and it was fantastic. The rice is light and fluffy and the dish was spicing and well seasoned. We were both really pleased with our choices.“

“We found the restaurant very clean. The service was great. The staff very friendly. However, we ordered the classic American chicken wings with an Indian flare as an appetizer. We were very disappointed. With the menu saying the chicken wings had an “ Indian flare , we assumed they would be glazed or rolled in Indian spices. Not so, the chicken wings were scrawny, and there was no flare. They were not seasoned at all. At $11.99 it was one of the more expensive appetizers. Not worth the money .“
