40 Best Indian Restaurants near Elkridge

“While this won’t stop us from ordering their delicious food again, tonight’s experience just wasn’t the same. I ordered the family package with vegetarian Biryani, which included raita, salan, plain rice, naam, and chicken curry. We got our order and it was missing the salan. I called the restaurant and got the weirdest explanation. “It’s a very small container. They make a large container and if it runs out. But it’s just a small container of peanut sauce.” I don’t care what the size of the container is, it’s advertised as a package and I expect everything in the order.“

“Great food and people love them“

“I order from them at least once a week. My salads are always fresh and delicious and their blue cheese is the bomb! My salad today is the best yet!“

“Omg there is another location closer to my home. Awww shux. There is one near work and now I find one mear home. I love the food and family atmosphere of this restaurant. Hands up a family and work favorite. See you soon...“

“Royal Taj is our go-to restaurant for special occasions, like our 20th Wedding Anniversary last week. It never fails to deliver excellence. Because it was a very special dinner, we decided to try something different. So my wife ordered the Lobster Malabar and I ordered the Grilled Halibut. Both were very good, especially the Halibut which was covered in an outstanding Corn Relish. To top off the evening our excellent server, Joshi, brought us a slice of very tasty cheesecake with a lit candle on top. As usual we cannot rave loud and often enough about Royal Taj and it is all due to the GM Binda, who is very friendly, charismatic and truly sets the tone of excellence at Royal Taj.“

“We ordered tonight and everything was delicious!!!! The sauces were so flavorful, and the vegetable Pakora were so light and delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back!!“

“I always order delivery from Halal Kabab & Wings when I’m craving comfort food. The food arrives hot, fresh, and fast! My go-to is the chicken wrap with fries — 10/10 every time. Super convenient and totally worth it. 🚗🍟“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“Consistently excellent food. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Butter chicken and chicken Tikki masala and garlic naan all exceptional“

“I really enjoyed the food I had, starting with the vegetable samosa, and for my meal, I had the lamb shahi korma. I took an order of the butter chicken home with me. I also had the butter naan and a mango lassi with my meal. I really enjoy Indian food and this location is very convenient and close to my home. I will definitely come here again and will have their lunch buffet.“

“One of my favorites. Great food, service and atmosphere. Wait staff was wonderful. Food we had last night was phenomenal.“

“Best vindaloo I’ve ever had“

“These guys make very good food, and they are very eager to please. They have two menus, one with American food like pizza and burgers and fried chicken, and the other with Indian food. Personally I like their non-curry dishes. It is quite spicy and never bland. Tonight I had the chicken thigh dinner which was very soft and spicy. It was fantastic. They also seemed to have invested a good amount of money into this place. Nice quality interior and good parking outside. The owner and the hostess both came to the table personally and asked us about how the food tastes. These people really care.“

“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 have gotten carry out/delivery from Bella for a few years now. Love the Chicken Tikka Pizza and Samosa Chaat, especially. The only dish that seems to miss the mark is the Bindi Masala - the okra is really fibrous,;ended up not finishing the dish because it was way too stringy to chew; we've ordered it twice now and are reluctant to try a third time. Hopefully it was just a bad batch of the veg?“

“Food is delicious!
We pickup dinner from India Tandoor seems every-other-week.
So far, Fish Almond is our favorite.
…but we try something different everytime.
Vegetarian options are yummmy!
Good portion size is a plus.“

“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!“

“Best Indian food around and even better service. This is my husband and I’s go to spot!“

“Here's to the highest stars available (20), and then some. Today, I introduced my son to Mango Lassie, Chicken Tika Masala, Nan. He was hesitant to come at first and now he is so impressed with the food and service. Thanks so much. I hope your restaurant grows and grows.“

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

“If you’re looking for typical South Indian style biryani, this is your place. The prices are very reasonable and the taste is beyond amazing. They have many options in veg and non-veg appetizers and entrees. Their desserts are also amazing.“

“We loved our experience at Verandah Kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish packed with flavor and beautifully presented. We ordered a variety of small plates, and each one was a hit. The vibe was perfect—great music, welcoming ambiance, and a space that felt both lively and comfortable.

The service was top-notch from start to finish. Warm, attentive, and thoughtful. We even had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly kind and engaging—it’s clear this place is run with a lot of heart.

We’re already planning our next visit and have a growing list of dishes we’re excited to try. Highly recommend Verandah Kitchen for anyone looking for memorable food and a standout dining experience!“

“Service and food slowly deteriorating as expected. We have been to the restaurant around 12-15 times since they opened. Initial visits were good but lately we have seen steady decline in their service.
In our last visit a male employee who seemed to be the manager/owner took our order and completely ignored the details. e.g. Asked for chillis in the veg uttapam and a soft mysore masala dosa with masala on the side. We have ordered this many times in the past and it arrived as ordered until this time. Chillis missing in the Uttapam and dosa was crunchy with masala inside. It is not a big deal but their attention to detail in listening to the customer seems to be vanishing as they have become popular in the area. I wish another good dosa place opens in the area so the quality remains in check. Another observation is that they are now skimping on the quantity of some chutneys as you can see in the picture. Food taste has been consistent over all.“

“Delicious Pakistani dishes! Friendly service and generous portions. Overall a fantastic place for Pakistan cuisine. Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely true to its name. House of India is the place to be if you appreciate authentic Indian cuisine and excellent service. It’s not only having a dinner , it’s having a memorable experience. Loved everything about it. The food is exceptionally great, the service is outstanding. The owners under new management goes above and beyond to make every guests feel welcome. Highly recommend this place.“

“Love it very authentic best I’ve had in the US“

“Reasonable price and friendly staff!! Tasty mutton Briyani and crispy lollipop chicken!!“

“Got food here for the first time & it was pretty good. You get a decent amount for the price too. The person I interacted with was very polite & friendly. * We ordered- Chana Masala; great amount & not over spiced as far as heat, I also loved the buttered naan :)

My partner got a Bacon cheeseburger & let me know it was pretty good & that made some decent fries with it.

We'll likely be back to support this small business :)“

“We ordered Chettinadu curry and butter naan — both were super tasty! The curry was spicy and had that real South Indian flavor, and the naan was soft, buttery, and really big in size. Loved the food and the overall experience. Definitely a 5-star meal for me!“

“This restaurant is attached to a gas station run by a Gujarati family. Pratik Patel and his entire family are involved from prep to serving. Best quality and fresh food will be served and it's an open kitchen you can walk around and see pretty clean. We had Masala dosa, theplas, dhokla and undhiyo“

“Excellent South Indian food“
