37 Best Indian Restaurants near Sand Lake

“Vegan Friendly 🌱! Had an amazing experience last night. Randomly found this wonderful restaurant. From the outside you would never know how beautiful it is inside. We were seated right away for 7 people. Half of our group are vegan and the menu had a huge selection for us. We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and our waiter was very excited to bring a delicious dessert as well as play a happy birthday song over the sound system. We are already talking about going again for lunch this weekend because the food was just so good! We were amazed at how busy the place was on a Monday night and impressed with how well the staff handled it. Thank you to the wonderful staff especially our waiter Reagan. We look forward to our next visit!“

“Yash, is the man!!! We were looking for a good Indian restaurant in Orlando, and what found was an excellent one called Tamara. This place is at the lobby of the Cambria Hotel tucked behind a Walgreens on International Drive. Service wise with Yash spearheading the attention we felt well attended. We were so hungry that we skip the appetizers, and yet, they brought the flattest bread I have ever seen with 3 dipping sauces. After that it was downhill from there in a very good way. The naan breads, garlic and the aptly name butter tandoori roti were amazing. Follow by the Pandara Chicken, and the Tamara’s Special Goat Curry that were exceptional. Yash showed up at the end, with a extremely good Rasmaili dessert that was light, tasty and refreshing all at once. This is a place to bring a date, friends or family and have an elevated Indian cuisine meal. Cheers to Tamara…..

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and non vegetarian options.

Parking: It is share parking with the hotel.“

“This was our first time here. After we ordered, they brought these thin fried strips of what seems like what they used for the samosa wrapper. It was so delicious!! We had butter chicken (requested spicy), Chicken Bhuna (requested medium), garlic naan & chili naan. Everything was yummy! All of the workers there were nice. Highly recommend.“

“Great fast friendly service and the food was superb.“

“Good was amazing and very friendly service.“

“We thought how can this place have 4.8 stars? So, we found out why. We went to the Orlando Farmer’s Market and found the food items there really expensive. So we went to find a nearby restaurant and found Dada. What a find! We really liked their buffet. The dishes were really nice and fresh. They kept being refreshed and filled food to replenish. They had 2 desserts and my favorite, gulab jaman were outstanding. I added a masala chai to the meal and it too was perfect. Of course they offer a rather large menu of items for dinner as well. We have not had an Indian Buffet in a really long time and the food was really good. Give them a try and park behind the building as there are lots of spots, then walk around to the front door. YUMM!“

“We found this place on the west end (by the Market Place) of downtown Winter Garden and will rave about it. This is a hidden gem.“

“Really awesome fresh food with excellent quality and very reasonable pricing. our family thoroughly enjoyed all the items that we had ordered . The packing was done in decent way. Highly recommend Little India food joint to all my friends and can try with confidence. Kudos to owners of this food joint“

“My boyfriend and I went for his 22nd birthday, this place is truly a hidden gem! They were so accommodating with our nut allergies and my spice sensitivity! The food was so flavorful and filling. We will DEFINITELY be back! All of the employees were very friendly and helpful“

“One of the best in orlando. I have got the opportunity to know the owner, chef and his wife. This small business is one of a kind. We liked their food so much we did catering. The owner is perfectionist. All food is always made from scratch. Highly recommend. One of the nicest people I kno.“

“What an awesome experience. Great food and the animal viewing can’t be beat“

“The food is always great. We get takeout all the time. If you don’t see what you want on the menu, you can call and customize your order. We always order aloo gobi and ask them to add chickpeas, samosas, and roti (ask for no butter on top).“

“If you’re looking to indulge in an authentic Kathiyawadi feast, Khashiyat Orlando is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming ambiance sets the tone for a delightful dining experience.

The Kathiyawadi Thali is undoubtedly the star of the show. Served with a generous variety of traditional dishes, it perfectly captures the rich flavors of Gujarat. Each item is cooked to perfection, bringing out the authentic taste of regional spices and fresh ingredients. The rotla and bhakri are soft and pair wonderfully with the spicy sev tamatar and the flavorful ringan no olo. The kadhi and dal are comforting and well-balanced, and the accompaniments like pickles, chutneys, and buttermilk add an extra layer of authenticity.

The portion sizes are generous, making it a perfect option for those with a hearty appetite. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that your thali is always replenished with hot, fresh food. The traditional presentation and attention to detail truly elevate the experience.

For anyone craving a genuine taste of Kathiyawad in Orlando, Khashiyat is a must-visit. It’s a flavorful journey that will leave you satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommended!

“Arun Uncle and Nayna Auntie,Where do I begin? Your entire team went way over your expectations. When the original wedding date happened. We had Hurricane Ian that postponed everything last minute. You both came and made sure all of my wedding items were packed up and secured safely. You and your family invited us into your home as if we are your own and gave us a warm cooked meal. I had the pleasure of meeting your entire family. When the new date happened you were completely booked. However, you still wanted to make sure we had the dream food and dream wedding. I left you both with the menu selections, and your suggestions were amazing! Accommodating non-garlic and non-onion food versus what I usually eat is tough. However, you guys made sure every guest left fed! Multiple guests told me they took at least 4-6 plates of food! Not only the food, but the emotional connection you both felt with me. Nayna Auntie saw me stressed out one day and asked me if I had eaten. I had completely forgotten between hair and makeup. She brought me an entire plate of warm food that made me feel so much better. The week of the wedding, I stopped by the shop and you both gave me a warm dessert. I am not usually a dessert person, but I cannot stop thinking about the dudhi nu halwa. The entire time everything was sanitary and on time. Last minute Arun Uncle was able to provide me with plastic wear and kulfi. Not only did I like working with you, but also all of the vendors! You both gave me so much love and patience, I feel like a daughter to both of you! I am definitely wanting to stay in touch and visit your family next time! I recommend to every bride, that they need to book Mast Masala Catering FIRST!With love,Janki, Kush, Panda“

“I wouldn’t spend more than $5 on an order of seasoned French fries if it weren’t at a theme park. But I got hungry at the wrong place and ended up getting the seasoned Fries from Mr. Kamal at the Animal Kingdom.The seasoned fries was okay. It tasted like French fries with a lot of Aleppo Sumac. Nothing special but it wasn’t bad.But the outdoor dining was so special. Tables and chairs are beautiful crafted. And the adjacent waterway & surrounding landscape are calming and picturesque. Anything, including Mr. Kamal’s fries, would taste awesome here.“

“Love this place!!!! Best Indian food in Orlando! After eating here I can’t go to another place they just know how to cook!!! The staff is amazing!!! Gabriella is usually my waitress when I come! Very nice and professional! Love this place!!!!“

“Value for money. Great ambiance. Taste is authentic. Ordered a masala dosa and it was served hot with appropriate amount of ssmbher.I am from north India but dosa is my wife and my favorite southern India dish.Will recommend it and come back again.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.“

“Thank you for an amazing lunch! This menu, their food, along with excellent service, is an experience I highly recommend! When I get back to Orlando, I would love to dine with you again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and I must say that the food was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, and we were able to try a variety of dishes.

We ordered the chicken 65, gobi Manchurian, chicken vindaloo, mutton biryani, bullet naan, falooda, mango lassi, and salt lassi. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with the right balance of spices. However, I did notice that some of the dishes had an excessive amount of food coloring, which was a minor drawback.

The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, providing excellent service throughout our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations when needed.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. The generous portions, attentive staff, and flavorful dishes make it a must-visit destination.

*Recommendation:* Definitely worth a visit for Indian food enthusiasts!“

“Great food! I’m glad we tried them. We liked it enough to order catering for my daughter’s birthday party.“

“My first visit to the place today, very tasty food with good portion size and will consider it mid price point, I had Chicken Manchurian with Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan, the naan was super soft and crunchy exactly like India, will definitely come back only 2 recommendations and they are provide cloth napkin or multiple napkins as no body asked if I needed more and when guest request something please listen as I request 2 servers for onion salad and they both forgot or the restaurant does not have additional onions to serve as salad.“

“I just realized (as I was checking-in) that this place has a fb page!! I came here to write a review and I'm shocked seeing 2 or 3 people leaving a terrible review. Me and my husband live in Tampa and have been coming here for about three years now. There is not a single time we go back home, not having lunch or dinner at this restaurant. My family is Pakistani so let me tell you the taste is LEGIT! Its very flavorful and the staff is super nice every single time. They were in need of a make-over which I'm so glad they redid the decor and its incredibly beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely recommend 10/10“

“Very good food and a lot!“
