41 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!“

“Great food, you choose your level of spice (heat) great service, friendly staff! My absolute favorite Indian Restaurant in Orlando area!“

“The food was soooo good. It was my first time tasting Indian food and I love it. My boyfriend took me there and I was so happy he told the owner we will be coming back. Food was fresh the waiter would check up on us to make sure everything is good. If you haven’t tried this place and you skeptical about it don’t be the service and food is awesome.“

“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!“

“Visit a couple of times every time we visit Orlando. Great food and friendly staff. See you next time!“

“Great place to go restaurant“

“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“

“Best Indian street food in town. Love Masala chai with bun & Vada Pav. Excellent customer service too.“

“I recently ordered takeout and was highly impressed with the taste!

The Hyderabadi style goat biryani was absolutely delicious, with tender pieces of goat perfectly cooked with rich, aromatic spices. The chicken tikka appetizer was equally amazing. The chicken was juicy and well-marinated, with a perfect balance of spices that made it incredibly flavorful.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying takeout food. I can't wait to order from them again!“

“This was the BEST local Indian food without a doubt. Ordered delivery through their own app on Thursday only for it to be eventually cancelled an hour later after drivers went to pick it up unsuccessfully. Now Google shows the establishment as being temporarily closed. Did you guys close? We’re still waiting to be refunded for the order, but the phone and email addresses associated with the business are not working :(“

“The food was delicious Dolly our hostess was super nice. Excellent customer service and good food. Would highly recommend this place .“

“Some of the best Thali I’ve had period. Our server was very wonderful and kind to us. She went above and beyond to cater to my family. Get the Punjabi thali, I got it with paneer and black lentils. Everything we had here was fresh and delicious. Chai masala was also amazing. Will definitely be back“

We ordered the tandoori chicken poutine and a garlic naan for a late afternoon snack.
It was delicious and not too much that we were full from it before our dinner reservation three hours later.“

Rahman is warm and welcoming, I asked for a recommendation and he suggested the Portuguese chicken...and he was so right, it was amazing!! My husband got the Tikka masala and it was phenomenal also. We have traveled to 58 countries and we can honestly say this food is just delicious, stop in and have some fantastic eats!“

Our server, Khan, was great! Amazing service and a super sweet man. I look forward to going there again!“

The people were very sweet, I loved the decor and it was overall and a wonderful atmosphere! It was wonderful, the food tasted well and according to its spice level. Wonderful for the price and place and would come again ❤️❤️!!“

“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“

Everything is so flavorful and satisfying. I couldn't ask for better cuisine. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family.“

“After a long, tiring day at Disney, we were craving good Indian food and came across Royal Indian Cuisine. We ordered Malai Kofta, Tawa Roti, Paneer Sabzi, and Dal for pickup — and wow, it did not disappoint!

Hands down, this was the best Malai Kofta I’ve had in the United States. The food was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely hit the spot after a busy day. We ordered it again the next day..

If you’re in the area and looking for authentic Indian comfort food, I’d highly recommend this place. A true gem!“

“1. Starters & Small Bites Hot Pot Momos (Chicken) – Tender dumplings that pack a punch, as a standout appetizer. Chicken 65 – A spicy, flavorful starter loved for its crispy texture. A recommended pick for adventurers. Masala Papad – Crispy, tangy, and gluten-free, this light bite is both flavorful and refreshing. 2. Must-Try Mains Burnt Garlic Chili Fried Rice – A fan-favorite featuring aromatic garlic and chili. A crowd-pleaser across reviews. Inchin's Bamboo Garden Orlando Chili Mustard Paneer – Vibrant and spicy—recommended for those looking to spice things up. Chili Chicken – Bold, spicy, and often recommended by locals seeking big flavors. Lo Mein – A comforting noodle dish that offers a softer, savory contrast to some of the spicier plates. Singapore Rice Noodles – A gluten-free, spicy noodle dish with curry notes—good for those wanting vibrant flavors. Thai Yellow Curry – Rich and aromatic, a milder curr y option to balance out the heat. 3. Vegetarian & Vegan Options Paneer Manchurian – A spicy, Indo-Chinese fusion classic with paneer—ideal for vegetarians. Cauliflower Manchurian – Vegan-friendly and full of flavor. Vegetable Thai Yellow Curry – A fragrant, plant-based curry packed with basil and spice. 4. Desserts Date Wontons with Ice Cream – A sweet, crispy treat that’s consistently highlighted as a top dessert. Gulab Jamun or Rasmalai – Indian sweets if you're in the mood for something more traditional and creamy.“

“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!“

“This is the best Indian food I have had in last 10 years of living away from India. Hands down the best food. Food is so scrumptious that it’s injustice to describe in words. I don’t usually post reviews but when I do i make sure it’s 100% accurate and honest. I promise don’t consider any negative reviews for this restaurant. People who are posting negative don’t have those taste buds or those people are just negative about everything in life. There’s no otherwise. Pro tip - Try their Cassata ice cream. I was visiting from Toronto and this kinda Indian food just makes it worth while.

Highly recommend.“

“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!“
