50 Best Indian Restaurants near Pikesville

“Every time I get something here I am blown away with how amazing it is! They have the BEST veggie pizza I’ve ever had - lots of veggies yet not soggy at all and full of flavor. Their chicken wings are also some of the best I’ve ever had. Their Indian cuisine is authentic and delicious. I’m often nervous when I see a restaurant with such a large and diverse menu but somehow Arlon’s totally pulls it off and everything is outstanding!“

“Great food, even better service.“

“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...“

“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!“

“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. 🚗🍟“

“Had the chicken biryani. When I asked for extra spicy, they asked me if I was sure twice. That's when I knew I was at the right spot, and got excited. Bc I wasn't planning to eat here, just happened to walk by. And I walked away happy and satisfied with life.“

“🥰 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!“

“Amazing food, great environment, perfect service! Our server, Ali, was attentive and friendly, the food here is absolutely delicious and served generously. We will return!!!“

“DELICIOUS food. Everyone loved it, we got the butter chicken, the paneer tikka masala, and the chicken mo mo ‘s

Wow, the flavors were phenomenal

after eating many times at Indian establishments in Baltimore, this place is the best“

“THANK YOU LUNCH WAS EXCELLENT TODAY THIS WAS OUR THIRD TIME COMING“

“The food here is amazing! We travel a lot and have visited many Indian cuisine restaurants. Cafe spice is by far the best! 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Best Indian food we had in Baltimore out of many that we tried. A little bit on an expensive side but worth it in my opinion. Staff is friendly and ambience is nice and quiet. Was surprised to see very less number of reviews on this restaurant and therefore was apprehensive to visit at first but totally loved the food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We went on a Friday evening and there were not many people in the restaurant. We were skeptical at first, but once we had our food we were shocked that it was not packed. Everything we ate was delicious (Gobi 65, Goat Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Masala). This is our new favorite Indian spot.“

“We have been eating at Taj palace a lot over the past month.. as we are in the process of our move to Owings Mills. Each time we have eaten there, the food has been outstanding and really delicious. The service is amazing and an excellent overall dining experience! Very friendly and polite staff! I think we’ve found our favorite desi food place here in Maryland! 5 stars and more.. keep the good work going! 👍“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had in Owings Mills — every dish was bursting with flavor! If you’re anywhere near Owings Mills and craving Indian food, you need to check out Tikka Shack. We dined in as a family and tried a huge variety of dishes — and honestly, everything was outstanding. We tried everything at house spice - there were addition levels of heat for those interested. We had the Shrimp Coconut Tacos, Paneer Butter Taco, Tikka Pizza with chicken, Chicken Biryani, Mango Lassi, Ras Malai, Street Style Chaat (both the samosa and potato versions), Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Samosas. For drinks we had fountain coke, Maasa Lychee, and Tractor Orange Cadamon. Every dish had its own personality — from the bold spices to the fresh garnishes — and each one was delicious. The restaurant itself is super clean with plenty of seating, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. We even ordered some extra to bring home for our lunches the next day! All in all - we all left happy and full! Highly recommend this spot — it’s perfect for families, groups, or even takeout if you just want seriously good Indian grub at home.“

“Best Indian restaurant and service !!“

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

“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.“

“This is not a dine-in place, but IS a hidden gem in Pikesville. It's hidden at the button of an apartment complex. As they're Nepalese, they offer some dishes that are not on all Indian menus.

Their delivery is also quick. I tried this place on a whim, and they did not disappoint.

I haven't had any of their American, Chinese, or other fare, however.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not really. Maybe if you live there.“

“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 👌“

“Delicious food, and outstanding service!“

“The food was AMAZING. I will be going back SOON. The guy who waited on us was so polite and friendly.“

“Love love this place.Food is so delicious.I kinda don't want to tell anybody about.It doesn't get too crowdedabout it, but I have to say it's one of my very favorite places.The food is so fresh.The place is so clean.The staff is so nice and attentive love this place“

“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.“

“Food was delicious. Only gripe was that I ordered the app sampler and they were out of one of the items. No big deal but I wish I was told. No discount was offered even requested but was responded with “well that’s still enough food”

Janet was very nice. She basically runs the place. Host, server, bartender…she did every thing but cook.

It’s a little dark in the restaurant but they do have individual lights do help out if you are struggling to see the menu.

Overall enjoyed my experience and would come back some day.“

“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!“

“This is the best Indian restaurant ever! The service and the food are perfect. The tandoori chicken is delectable. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be going back!“

“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.“

“The food is so good here.“

“Finally found my go to dining spot in Towson: Kathmandu did not disappoint. Manoj, owner's nephew, provided excellent service. Everything I ordered was pretty delish: veggie pakora, chicken soup and chicken gorkhali. Particularly loved the flavoring and spices of gorkhali, and sliced ginger pieces make each bite that much nicer. This will be a repeat dining spot for my Towson business stays. Highly recommend this place to anyone that likes Nepalese and Indian cuisine as many of their dishes are a crossover from Indian food.“

“What an excellent place ! We had lunch for four . The people there were wonderful and our food was amazing . We shared four different dishes and sides , it just kept getting better“

“BBQ tonite has the best Goat in Baltimore, and it has become our favorite Pakistani restaurant.“

“The food is always top notch. Friendly and inviting atmosphere.“

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

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

“Location is a bit secluded, but this place is definitely a goldmine. The inventory is so large, you'll definitely be able to find WHATEVER you're looking for and more here. I personally came in for wine coolerd and left with two bottles of wine that I tried from a sampler (Espanola).“

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

“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“

“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!“

“My # 1 place to eat in Baltimore city. If you haven't stopped pass for the Crab � soup please do. My absolute favorite is the Burger salad. But you have choices lots and lots of choices. Check em out.“
