28 Best Indian Restaurants in Baltimore

“I usually don’t eat Indian food, too spicy, but the ambassador makes the food just perfect for my taste. Special occasions when the mood is right, we go to the ambassador for that special taste of Indian cuisine. I’ve been going to the ambassador for the last 20 years. Today I drove 28 miles from home just to enjoy dinner at this great restaurant. Thank you for the good food and good service.“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“Amazing Indian food!! I'm from Toronto, where there is a lot of good Indian food, and this is still among the best I've had anywhere. I highly recommend the lamb saag and shahi paneer. With the cash discount, the portions are extremely good value for the money.“

“🥰 MR. AMIR and his family are absolutely lovely people. This is a family run business in the heart of Baltimore social life, between Inner Harbor, Harbor East and Fells Point (more to Fells Point side). It is our favorite Indian restaurant in Baltimore by far. My husband and I really enjoy their lunch buffets, they service freshly made food and have a variety of options. The lunch buffet has Indian salads, sometimes vegetable samosas, at least a few different meat entrees, at least a few different vegetable entrees, dessert, and always hot chai tea with sugar options. My husband and I enjoy going to not only eat the food, but also appreciate how friendly and hospitable Amir and his family are. They also have respectful staff, and run a very peaceful operation. We appreciate every visit, and when we leave, we feel like we have gained 5 pounds each (in a good way!). Looking forward to our next visit :) Thank you Mr. Amir and family!“

“Been here twice, once was years ago pre-pandemic and it was fabulous. We said we should come back here more often but never did… then the pandemic messed everything up and we went travel nursing. Now we’re back in town again… AND ITS STILL AMAZING. I got a jalfrezi, and hubby got tikka masala. The medium felt like a true medium, not whitewashed. Service was lovely. We were one of two couples who dined in, but looks like they have a busy takeout business. So glad they didn’t disappear in the pandemic like so many other places! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Have you ever had a meal that changed what you thought food could do for you? I had one tonight. The food here was outstanding. You could taste the complexity of flavors in each bite. Get the Chicken Biryani. It will be your go-to dish after you tase it. Amazing food. Well done.“

“Lovely vibe, lovely staff, great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes! My bhuteko kauli was soo good, very full and saucy and spicy, how I asked! The onion naan was crispy and deliciously spiced. Highly recommend this spot for people looking for something delicious and vegetarian!“

“I was informed of the opening of Family Kitchen Restaurant, by the Uber driver. This delighted me As I enjoy Indian/ Nepalese food. I have not been disappointed. There is a great spread for those trying the great meals for the first time, as they have a daily buffet My friends of all Ethnic backgrounds enjoy the food here. The Service is excellent and caters to individual needs The atmosphere is very pleasant Now a banquet hall has been added I Wholeheartedly recommend Family Kitchen“

“love their butter chicken and tandoori chicken. Everything was so good. def. coming back!“

“Verandah Kitchen is easily one of my favorite spots and a place I find myself coming back to often. The food has amazing flavor with just the perfect amount of spice—every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and consistently delicious. I am gluten free- there are many options for me!

The restaurant itself is quaint, clean, and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that create a very nice, relaxed vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind and enjoy your meal.

What really stands out is the service. The staff is always incredibly kind, and the owner is regularly present, making sure everything is running perfectly and that guests are well taken care of.

Some of my absolute favorite dishes are the prawns ghee roast, chicken rista, chicken malai kabab, and the shrimp taco on a corn tortilla—highly recommend trying them if you visit.

Overall, Verandah Kitchen is a gem that I frequent often and would gladly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a chill atmosphere.“

“Been going to Sweet 27 for probably 12 years. My grandson is 6, this is his favorite spot. Friendly staff and great food.“

“I stopped going here about 3 years ago but my refrigerator stopped working. I decided to give them another try. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the cheesesteak sub was. I realized there new owners with a large menu cant wait to try some new items.“

“By far the best food and service in Baltimore! I always come in for the lunch buffet and the food is DELICIOUS! A lot of options and sometimes there is this special desert that is this doughnut drizzled with honey(?) which I love, and always have it with the complimentary Nepalese milk tea. Great options for vegetarians too.“

“Best Indian restaurant and service !!“

“Delicious food, and outstanding service!“

“Fairly new to visiting the restaurant however the four (4) times I have dined or had carryout, the staff was welcoming, pleasant, the food was delicious (sidebar: I recommend the cream of crab soup), and the atmosphere was relaxing. My high school class reunion committee even planned our meeting there and was able to plan professionally without a lot of interruptions and A-1 service. I would recommend and do not have any bad reviews! Continue being a staple in the community.“

“Authentic food and great customer service 👍 Highly recommended 👌“

“I went in there yesterday (Sunday afternoon) and was pretty much the only person in the place. Service was basic/adequate ... but quick! Flavor was great, portion size was sufficient for lunch today, too! Good value. I'll be back!“

“I had an issue with my order from GrubHub that unfortunately led to me not receiving it but the manager called me two days later to let me know he was out for a couple days and was so sorry to hear about my troubles. He immediately offered to fix it and sent me the food I had been waiting on free of charge. He really made me feel better about the situation and like he cared. I have never had someone show me that level of concern for my issue. All my friends recommend this place, and I am happy to say that I do as well.“

“Great food, helpful staff, and a clean dinning environment. They also have a very good lunch buffet and do delivery and takeout as we'll.“

“Best Indian food I had on Mount Everest from this location“

“I am a pizza snob. I have had the best in Connecticut, NY and Chicago...Baltimore's has one other great pizzeria (which I will not name here) but this spot!?!?!? OMG. Indian Pizza was the hook that drew me in. The Indian food on the menu is fantastic, and then the Indian pizza? Its the best pizza in Baltimore and can hold its own with the best up north. Seriously. The staff is kind and its the perfect spot to order and pick up food. But yeah, the pizza here is as good as advertised if not better.“

“Amazing food. Great service! Would love to come here again when visiting our daughter in Baltimore :)“

“The owners of Mount Washington Indian food and pizza. I call it rather than their name. Know how to make some of the best dinners that I have ever had. They're chicken tikka masala, their lamb korma. Their lamb vindaloo all are incredible dishes. They're the nicest people nicest owners and make probably the best food in the Baltimore area.“

“Went to Good Vibes Cantina today and it really wasn’t busy food was fresh and hot and drinks were good“
