Indian Restaurants near St. Petersburg

“We recently discovered Twisted Indian and we love it! We have only gotten take out but the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere with a custom decor. There is a shared space counter top to dine at that looks through the big front window. There are tables for 2, 4, and one big table that seats 8. The food here is a home run! The flavors are wonderful and the spices will have you coming back again and again. I highly recommend the Twisted Indian, you wont be sorry!“

“Just had my first meal at Cumin Bowl and it was delicious! So flavorful, so fresh, and healthy! Can’t wait for my next meal!“

“Sometimes you want to try a special Indian meal you can find at the usual place. It might be a good meal and more to your liking. It is very good and traditional to the way you expect it. However, the come times when you want to find the other version of Indian food you do not even know of. If you were lucky to visit India and explore, you notice that if you take the street behind the main street you find it different. This is the food the locals create and enjoy. It is their way of good "street food". There is a taste, a style and an expectation you cannot always find in another place. Finding India King Tandoor & Wine was just that. It sits at the end of a smalls trip mall with other restaurants and tastes. There at the end is a small location that, when you step inside, you are in the back street to try the street food that is special and a great experience. We stepped in and sat down. Sam, the gentleman who helped us, was perfect to be with. He told us what was available and what we can expect. He knew different things you could not find in other places around. Naturally, the first thing to start with was the Taj Mahal Beer. This is a rare beer to find here because it comes from India. And India King had it. It was what I had hoped to have with the meal. Of course, also had t have a Lassi - the typical drink in India. Fresh and healthy. Naturally, we placed our order and the kitchen cooked it fresh. This is not pre-made items. First u was the Samosas. These potato dumpling like roll was filled with potatoes and fresh peas and spices. The side dipping sauces added some sweetness and spice. The more you used, the spicier it became. This was ideal with the beer. Next up was the Lamb Korma...Made the way they make it in Delhi. It was small portions in a rich sauce and mixed with spices and falvour. Served over a bowl of white rice it was a good combination. Of course, simple Nan was way to enjoy and dip the nan into the bowl of sauce. The other dish was purely Vegan style Curry. This is normal in many portions of India where people do not eat meat and stick with vegetables. Again, having lived in India I am use to finding this. And here at India King they made it the way I would find it in a restaurant or on a cart on the street. It was creamy and warm and had a spice you do not find. It was rich and tasty and filled with fresh grilled vegetables that is a mix for the day. Do not expect only one type of item. It is mixed based on what was available for the day. Again. over rice and with garlic Nan it was being back in Delhi. Combining each meal with each other made it a true way to explore and see what it is to eat over there. But here, hiding in the back is India King. It is like being here, nbut really being back in India and trying a variety of meals you do not find anywhere else that you imagine. In the end, I would go back to India King. It reminds me of Delhi and where I could trust what I eat even from someone with a cart and fresh ideas. The price is good. The portions is a good size. Sam and the team are perfect. And the Chef is also the owner. It is good home cooking after all. Visit India King and visit the Taj Mahal beer. It benefits everything you can do here!“

“The food is amazing! We ordered the coconut chicken and the lamb madras. It was difficult to decide which was better. The garlic naan tasted delicious. To help us finish off our wine, we ordered ras malai. We will definitely be back. It’s a great place to go casual or dressed up. It made for an awesome date night.“

“The quality of food was outstanding. Coming from London where there is a well established community of indian restaurants, this little Bistro is as good as it gets. The food was truly authentic and true to Indian cuisine not just catering for the local pallet“

“The minute you walk in and take in the aromas, you start to relax and feel better ! Healing powers come from this wonderful food ! Great for take out also!“

“Very nice selection of vegetarian options. My husband and my family are Hindu vegetarian. We love everything about this place“

“Have only ordered through Uber eats but it sure is delish. A little pricey for the portions that come through Uber but very good food!“

“Very helpful staff! Will be back for sure!“
