16 Best Indian Restaurants near New Canaan

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience here. We ordered the lamb Rogan Josh, chicken Chettinad, and the meat sampler, and everything was absolutely amazing. The chicken kebabs were unbelievably tender and packed with flavor. Every dish was perfectly cooked and so satisfying. For dessert, we had the gulab jamun — so, so good and the perfect way to end the meal. On top of the amazing food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. We can’t wait to go back!“

“What a great place! I got take out today: garlic naan and butter chicken. A treat, with delicious, flavorful chicken and a cream sauce that was not overpowering, but just right in the use of spices. As an aficionado of Indian food, this is truly delicious food. The restaurant is immaculate and decorated beautifully. Five stars, given without hesitation. Treat yourself and go there!“

“Food was delicious, would come back again. Staff was also very friendly throughout visit👍🏽“

“The chicken biryani (medium spice) is sublime. Love that there is an option to use organic chicken for only 3$ more. A lot of biryani uses dark meat and coromandel uses white meat/breast and it never feels heavy in the belly. In fact, I feel great eating this dish and their Dahl (medium spicy) is a flavorful delight as well. I would also recommend the saag paneer. Many places use so much cream and ghee. Coromandel goes light w these ingredients. Try the chicken biryani and if you enjoy spice, go for medium!“

“My family and I were driving back home and decided to make a pit stop at Marshalls in Norwalk CT. Two doors to the right is Vedas a small cozy 8-seater restaurant that offered Indian lunch specials. My wife and daughter had always associated Indian food to be spicy, but they were willing to try it out. So my wife ordered the butter chicken and my daughter the chicken tikka masala and butter naan. The hot meals came and after eating for a while, they said wow this is delicious, it is not spicy and has this nice blend of spices. Perfect! I ordered palak paneer with a bit of spice and the dish was so tasty. Whether your taste buds are into non spicy or spicy Indian dishes, check out Vedas and you’ll find their specials and prices are friendly for travelers.“

“Delicious!!!!!!! Beautiful presentation of my to-go meal! Ina year of plastic to-go meals, how REFRESHING to see an orchid, delicately placed atop my chicken! Gorgeous. This is greatly appreciated. The BEST coconut rice I’ve EVER had. Outstandingly delicious—all the stars!!!! I ordered 2 chicken dishes to try and both are beyond good. Looking forward to working my way through the menu!“

“We had a delicious meal of some of the best Indian food we’ve had in a long time! We had takeout and we’ll do it again soon. The lamb was particularly good.“

“Mostly we order food to go, but eating there is nice too with the nice service.“

“They made us feel special last night. And the food was excellent t - Best I’ve had outside of Mumbai!“

“It's a quaint space. The staff are veeyy nice and patient.
The chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Tandoori are to die for! Such great deep flavors and color.

The garlic naan…could not get enough. If you get some tikka masala sauce on the side..good for dipping!“

“Saravanaa Bhavan is the kind of place people go to when they’re craving real South Indian comfort food. The menu is packed with classics like dosas, idlis, vadas, and thalis that feel familiar and satisfying rather than fancy or modernized. The dosas come out crisp and generously sized, and the sambar and chutneys bring the kind of flavors that make the meal feel comforting and complete. The dining room is simple and often busy, which adds to the feeling that this is a place focused more on food than atmosphere. Service can sometimes feel a bit rushed and a few dishes lean slightly oily, but that’s also part of the traditional style. Overall, Saravanaa Bhavan is one of those reliable spots where the food consistently delivers exactly what you’re hoping for when you want classic South Indian comfort dishes.“

“Excellent food and friendly service. Goat curry was very tasty!“

“Cool small neighborhood pizza place where you can get ...neighborhood pizza. I really like this place, but it's kind of hidden, in the intersection across from Mama's Kitchen. Bonus, there are a lot of great items here besides pizza....such as tandoori and biriyani_which you may not be interested in, but I am always looking for Indian food....“
