20 Best Indian Restaurants in Minneapolis

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“Good variety of dishes, options for special dietary needs. Atmosphere is pleasant and clean.“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“This may be my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. Gandhi Mahal Restaurant—also known for delivery as Curry in a Hurry—serves delicious, flavorful, authentic food that always leaves an impression. Staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming, energizing, and peaceful. As a Bangladeshi American, the food here is my comfort food, and they do it well. Each dish I’ve tried is exceptionally flavorful and filling. From the samosas in the appetizer assortment to the chicken korma—and especially the biriyani, it is clear they put a high degree of care into all they do. I highly recommend the motor paneer (pea and cheese curry) to add some sweet and savoriness to your meal. Items can be ordered a la carte, which I really appreciate and is very convenient if you want to take things home. Leftovers are even more flavorful the next day. To finish things off, I recommend the mango lassi, which is perfectly tangy and sweet (not too sweet) the way they make it here. Overall, Gandhi Mahal has us obsessed and coming back for many reasons: delicious food, comfortable ambience, and dedication to quality. They are an invaluable fixture of the community and I hope be keep visiting in the years to come.“

“The food was spectacular, fairly cheap, it came out quickly, and the service was no nonsense. Would definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: Large well labeled vegan selection as well!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options that are well labeled“

“Wow, I have been looking for a great Indian place in the area, and I've found it! I had ordered takeout from here a few years ago and thought it was good, but Chef Latish obviously has done a lot of work to improve the scope of the menu and the flavors. As a vegetarian, I also appreciate their very large selection of options. My buddy and I ordered the aloo mattar (very good) and the malai kofta (truly outstanding!) and we can't wait to go back! Thank you for the delicious food!“

“One of the best places I’ve eaten in Minneapolis. I absolutely loved everything I got to eat and I will be back often. I cannot believe I missed this place until now. Amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

“This is AWESOME!
I grew up in a family with an obsession with indian food and our standards are high. We've struggled to find an indian restuarant as good or better than our hometown's. I've eaten at Indian restaurants in Seattle, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, Germany, and all over New England. None of them were as good as the Clay Oven is.
I can't wait to bring my parents here! The service is impeccable, food's unbeliavably good, and it's not going to eat your wallet!“

“Great food, elegant atmosphere and good prices and service!“

“I love momo from MomoDosa (and Gorkha Palace). I can’t wait to give the Dosa a try! The sustainable plating is a huge plus (there is nothing like eating counter service off of a real plate) and enjoying it outside on the patio with a pour-your-own beer?! Amazing experience! I can’t wait to make this a monthly visit. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores. 🥰“

“Had the Tawa Chicken last night out of the food truck! Amazing! Can’t wait for my next trip to the cities. I need more!“

“I had to try this place. I had to call them to get into the building, which is for security purposes and doesn't detract from their business. I had the onion pakoda and chicken tikka masala. Both were top notch and may have been better than my favorite Indian restaurant back home. The lady at the front counter was helpful in getting my order placed when they were out of something I wanted. I was very satisfied with the options and I'll need to come back to visit another day for sure.“

“I traveled 30 miles for a special Parotta feast and they didn't disappoint me and made me to feel it is a worth it. Authentic style Parotta and Salna and other dishes. I like the ambiance very much. I strongly recommend it. The price is very reasonable.“

“Amazingly delicious food!“

“My daughter and I just had the *most* delicious lunch here! Highly recommend and we will be back! (This time we had Bangalore style masala dosa, onion dosa with chutney’s and sambar & a wonderful palak paneer with cardamom infused rice) but there is so much great South Indian food on this menu that I look forward to revisiting!“

“Amazing Food! Great Taste, phenomenal service“

“Rashmi and her team did a fabulous job of catering our wedding in May 2023 in Minneapolis, MN. We cannot say enough good things about Gorkha Palace! We were regular customers of Gorkha Palace even before we wanted to have them as our caterer for our wedding reception. Their prices may be a tiny bit higher, but it is worth it - all the ingredients they use are organic and local, which we appreciated. Rashmi, the co-owner, was very flexible in accommodating our many special requests, including guests’ dietary restrictions and our last-minute venue change. The catering team was punctual, had excellent communication, attended to our guests’ needs, and left the venue in a clean condition. For our wedding, we did a buffet-style meal consisting of 3 entrees, rice, and naan, plus mango lassis and samosas for cocktail hour. It was the first time for many of our guests trying Indian food, so we were a bit nervous, but those nerves were put to ease when we saw our guests go back for seconds (and thirds), and compliment the food to us all night long. The lamb vindaloo was a hit, and got wiped out in no time! Being of Indian descent, we can certifiably say this food was top-notch in its balance of spices! Indian food was a significant part of our Indian-American fusion wedding and we couldn’t have done it without Gorkha Palace! Overall we would highly recommend Gorkha Palace for their catering services, delicious food, and dine-in restaurant as well :)“

“Joy and I love eating here every time I’m in Minneapolis! The buffet never disappoints and the staff is so wonderful!“
