10 Best Indian Restaurants in Ann Arbor

“Madras Masala is my go-to spot and I keep coming back for a reason. The flavors are consistently excellent — everything tastes like it's made with real care, not just thrown together. The service is warm and welcoming every time, which makes a huge difference. Ms Priscilla is a highlight, always compassionate and caring with a warm smile.
A couple of nice touches I've noticed on recent visits: they've switched over from disposable plates and utensils to real china and silverware, which elevates the whole experience and shows they're investing in doing things right. There are also some beautiful home-grown floral arrangements on display now (photos below) that add such a lovely, personal touch to the space.

Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic, delicious Indian food in a place that feels like it's run with heart.“

“We are frequent visitors of the Packard location, even before, when it was at Menyard st, downtown. We love you guys!
However: when ordering takeout: When we order the mild it lacks the flavor punch. But when we order medium it’s on the border of what we can handle heat-spice wise. When ordering takeout there is no other option. And putting it in the comments is hit-or-miss. Would be good if medium actually worked for flavor and a nice bit of heat, that is not on the uncomfortable edge.“

“Absolutely delicious. We are hooked! Find ourselves ordering twice a week. I can't get enough of the tikki masala and garlic naan. Mmmmmmmmm“

“Definitely my favorite restaurant!“

“A few years ago I searched on Google for "highest rated restaurant near me" and Everest ranked #1. I've eaten there for my birthday celebration meal, and at other times, in the five or six years since. It's rare to find great food, great service, and at a great price in the post-Covid era. In my experience Everest is the best of these combined categories in the Ann Arbor to Dearborn corridor along I-94. No where else that I've eaten since moving back to the area in 2011 comes close.“

“Such a welcoming environment and amazing food! The cheesecake is a must! Also, the host, I believe his name was Hector, was incredibly charming and funny. I highly recommend!“

“I LOVE this place, I order off of lunch menu almost weekly. Check it out if you are in the area. Poutine and AA roles are both on lunch menu and will change your world.“

“The restaurant is extremely warm relative to all other restaurants, not sure what's up with that, it was a little uncomfortable. Service was slow, we didn't receive waters for 15 minutes. Good dosa, great food and good pricing but disappointed with the service and atmosphere.“

“I've never been treated so rude. 1 of the 2 men working COMPLETELY ignored me and took the white guy's order behind me. Only after seating him did he barely acknowledge me and ask if I was Doordash or what I ordered. Mine was online, I drove 20 min out to get there and it still took another 20 min to get my food. I will never spend money here or any other Indian restaurant again. They've ruined it for me. You're just as brown as me and treated me so poorly. Shame on Namaste. I wish I could give it a 0.“
