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...“

“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!“

“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. 🚗🍟“

“🥰 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!!!“

“Loveeeeee. Great food and drinks. Helpful location if you’re doing something downtown. We went for dinner and drinks before seeing a comedy show around the corner. The service was slow, though. There were 5 customers inside when we went and we waited so long for our order to be taken. Then, our food took a while. It was really good, as were the drinks. I would definitely go back but we cut it close to the show time. Parking is rough around here so plan ahead.“

“Indian Tandoor is easily one of the best spots for Indian food in Baltimore! The flavors are rich, the spices are perfectly balanced, and every dish tastes fresh and homemade. Their tandoori chicken is juicy and full of smoky goodness, and the butter chicken is next-level creamy and flavorful. Don’t skip the garlic naan—it’s soft, buttery, and perfect for scooping up every last bite.

The service is always friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in, you’re guaranteed a fantastic meal. If you love Indian food, this place is a must-visit!“

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

“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“

“We weren’t too sure on what to order here when we first arrived but we ordered quite a few dishes to share amongst our table. Everything came out hot and fresh. If we weren’t sure what something was, it was explained to us so we knew what we were ordering. The spices were really amazing and perfect along with the sauces too. I will definitely be coming back to order more. Missed taking pictures of some of the dishes because they smelled so good so we ended up eating before the first few pictures“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Yaar Spice has the best sauces I've ever eaten. The menu is vast and everything is remarkable. I try to visit weekly .“

“Stopped here for a light bite and was absolutely blown away by the depth of flavor in the Baingan bharta. Very clearly marked vegan options and super friendly staff. I can’t wait to come back for a full dinner! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-05“

“Best Indian restaurant and service !!“

“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! 👍“

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

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

“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.“

“Probably the best Indian restaurant I've been to in Howard County. I dine in and order takeout, while preferring the latter. Being a pure vegetarian, there are many vegetarian options and there's no compromise on the quality. We generally order a vegetarian thali alongside kuttu parotha and a vegetarian appetizer.

Among all the delicacies that I've tried at Sangam, I've loved the Kadai paneer biryani, paneer pepper fry, chilli baby corn, south indian thali, kuttu parotta, malai kofta, navaratan korma to name a few. But the appetizers are really crunchy and tasty.“

“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.“

“This biryani restaurant is my go-to spot for takeout, and it never disappoints. I’ve tried all of their chicken and goat biryanis, and each one is packed with rich, aromatic flavors. The rice is always perfectly cooked fluffy, fragrant, and beautifully spiced while the meat is tender, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. My favourite and go to is the Mutton Pulau. Every order feels consistent and made with care.

Their selection of mandi dishes is just as impressive. The meat is incredibly tender and falls right off the bone, and the subtle, smoky flavors make every bite satisfying and comforting. Whether it’s biryani or mandi, their food is always a hit at home. Photo is of the juicy chicken mandi.

On top of the amazing food, the staff is consistently courteous and polite. They’re friendly, attentive, and make the whole takeout experience smooth and pleasant. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to because you know you’ll get both great food and great service every time.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I am truly impressed by the delicious food at Indian Delight. Every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The spices were well-balanced, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is definitely one of the best places for Indian food. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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).“

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

“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!“

“One of the two vegetarian restaurants in Howard County and I am a very frequent visitor. I like the Punjabi Thali, the parathas, noodles with Manchurian (I believe it is their specialty, never ever found this in an Indian restaurant with a Chinese section). Since the restaurant is located inside the deli store of a gas station, it might not be family friendly and hence we order takeout but there are 6-7 tables for a hostel/dorm like dine in option. No doubting of the quality of food. It's very delicious, very comforting and the recipes made upto specifications. Must try for vegetarians. If you are in luck, the chef packs a little extra quantity for Thalis.“

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

“Excellent South Indian food“

“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.“

“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.“
