43 Best Indian Restaurants near Dayton

“For many of us longing for that traditional wedding feast served on a banana leaf, a visit to The Park Indian Restaurant is a must. The feast is served just like weddings back home with so many veg and non-veg dishes and most importantly with such warm hospitality that one feels like part of the family. It would be an injustice to pick a top dish because each one is a star in its category. Unlimited food at such an affordable price! We will be returning every time this fabulous feast is offered.“

“They have amazing biryanis and authentic flavors. Good selection of vegetarian menu. Chicken 65, Apolo fish and tandoori grill are my favourite dishes in their menu. They take catering orders for small and big events too. Whatever the occasion they serve you with warmth and comfort food. The best Indian food in this Dayton New Jersey area.“

“Some Human Beings pour their heart out to feed you, Arun (Owner of Roattu Kada) is one of them. His passion and love for cultural food reflects in the taste and presentation! We highly recommend having Arun for small/Big gatherings! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Not sure if this is actually Hot Breads or a franchise. The associate was courteous but didn't carry most of the popular items. And being a one person do all, it obviously takes longer time. Besides that, the food quality is good.“

“It was our honor and privilege to be a part of a dear friend's B'day Bash last Sunday at Kochi. Dining at Kochi was one of the, if not THE, most memorable experience ever. We were totally floored by the exquisite food - and service - provided by Chef and Owner Mr. Jebu Matthew and his team. From the cool berry drink and amazing classic South Indian appetizers, to the numerous - and for us, many new - items that kept appearing in front of us almost magically during the main meal, served in the traditional South Indian style (on banana leaves), right through the delectable halwa and delicious jaggery rice payasam (desserts), we could feel the love and careful attention with which each item was prepared and pride with which each item was served. Plus, being served by Mr. Matthew himself was, in and of itself, humbling. He patiently explained the intricacies of each delicacy which helped us understand the complexity of the cuisine's varied flavors. To be actually seated (for hours) and served at the table greatly enhanced the culinary experience. We have rarely, if ever, felt that we have consumed a feast - but now, can proudly say so - because of Mr. Matthew and our experience at Kochi. This one-of-a-kind mesmerizing event will remain etched as an indelible lifelong memory. Thank you so much - for making this magic happen. Wish Mr. Matthew only the very best in all his endeavors !

“Very few restaurants truly capture the essence of Indian street food — the bold flavors, the nostalgia and this is definitely one of them. The selection is refreshing and impressively vast, covering all the classics you crave.

I especially loved their Bedmi Poori, crisp, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the sabzi. Everything we tried was good, but the street food items truly stood out. The flavors are authentic, well-balanced just the way they should be.“

“Awesome place, food was so good, would definitely go again and recommend“

“Food made my mouth water, very nice, tasty, and savory. Amazing thali plus great price with unlimited refills. Excellent service and had very nice conversation. Hosts and staff were amazing to talk to and very kind with smile on face. Atmosphere was superb with aesthetic decorations and bright lighting. Food and atmosphere made me feel like I was back in my homeland of India. Will definitely come again and tell others.“

“I’m a big fan of Dosa grill, have always loved their food menu for catering. They always go above and beyond to accommodate any orders, specifically Mirchi pakora … that’s a big hit in parties. I would certainly recommend them for any catering needs.“

“the food is amazing! beautiful presentation, delicious food andcvery helpful servers who explained all the different dishes and patiently answered our questioms“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“Took my Rutgers student to dinner tonight as a midweek treat. Had a delicious dinner! He was craving butter chicken, and I enjoyed the kadai chicken. Both dishes were beautifully seasoned, the chicken was very moist, and the portions were just right. We finished with gulab jamun, a perfect ending. Will definitely be back! Service was great, very casual atmosphere, not fancy but worth a visit! Sadly, they were out of many of the specialty drinks because of a delivery issue, but it did not make our meal less enjoyable.“

“Nice and cozy place with a welcoming, homey vibe. Staff and waitress were super friendly and cheerful. Tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a good atmosphere. We tried the Peri Peri Vada Pav — vadas were great, but the pav and chutney could be better. Bhel was fresh and tasty. We even ordered Chinese Bhel, which had nice bits of Manchurian and paneer — the Manchurian pieces were a bit stiff, but overall it tasted good. We ordered Chole Kulcha but got Chole Naan instead, which was unexpected. Food overall is better than the competition, and definitely a place worth visiting!“

“I catered from them for a small gathering at home and am very pleased with their service and their food.
Our guests enjoyed the food, it was delicious. They particularly liked Veg pulao, chilli chicken and chicken tikka masala, they delivered food in a large hot box which was mighty helpful as it kept food warm till the time it was served.
Thank you Brahma and team for
delicious food and great service. I recommend their business.“

“Loved the food and service from attentive staff at Jhopri! We gathered as a small group for a birthday celebration, and enjoyed the time at Jhopri. Thanks for making our time there special and memorable. Special mention to the manager, Pradeep and staff who ensured we are comfortable by making all the arrangements.“

“Been there 100 times or more in the 80's & 90's but have discovered many other Indian Restaurants since then. I have to get back there with Mary and you guys.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“I ordered the Chicken Chettinadu, veg momo, and veg lunch combo — all were absolutely delicious! The Chicken Chettinadu had the perfect balance of spice and savory, and the veg momo were fresh, flavorful, and filled with a nice variety of vegetables. The veg lunch combo was satisfying and well-portioned, and the kheer dessert was fresh and mildly sweet — a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was packaged neatly and arrived warm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“We are lucky to have a Banquet hall like Rasoi in the town. It is perfect to have a small or big party. We recently had our Diwali get-together at Rasoi. The Food and service were top-class. The manager Prasad Kadam ensures all goes well and all guests are happy. The staff members are very warmth and welcoming. Once this place is renovated in the coming months, it will have a brand-new Banquet hall to host the parties. I hope Chefs will introduce and add new food dishes to the catering menu.“

“Everyone there were so lovely , the Temple and grounds are truly magnificent and should be celebrated for its workmanship and dedication. The cafe was enjoyable, the food was delicious and reasonable. We also enjoyed the food market and gift shop, we brought home purchases from both. Thank you for an amazing experience.“

“Not a huge fan of spicy food because my stomach doesn't handle it too well but I must say that the food is good. I got a butter chicken bowl with rice and veggies and it had a tiny kick to it. It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“Love the authentic south Indian telugu tiffin dishes you get here , it is exactly like eating at any good breakfast restaurant in Andhra or Telangana ,the same local flavor ,it is one of the very few restaurants here which retains the local flavors, highly recommended.“

“Thanjai Mess in New Jersey is a real gem if you’re into authentic South Indian food. The place keeps things simple — no fancy setup, just delicious, homestyle meals that taste straight out of Tamil Nadu. The food is fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The dosas are crisp and golden, the idlis are soft and fluffy, and the sambar hits that perfect tangy note. It feels like you’re eating in someone’s home kitchen rather than a restaurant.

Portions are generous and prices are really fair for the quality you get. The thali meals are a must-try — great variety, with enough spice and comfort to keep you coming back. Service is friendly and quick, and even when it’s busy, the staff handle everything with a smile. Parking is easy and the vibe stays casual, which makes it great for both quick lunch stops and weekend family meals. Thanjai Mess is easily one of my favorite spots for a true South Indian fix in NJ.“

“Dosa Grill has hands down the best Indian food in the Syracuse area. As soon as you enter, you begin enjoying the rich aromas and friendly atmosphere. All their dishes are perfectly seasoned and carefully prepared. The buffet is extensive, with many of my favorites. We have been return customers there since it opened and I can honestly say it contributes to our quality of life.“

“We love Delhi Garden! Best Indian food we’ve had out of many many different places and great service too. Apparently our 13 month old approves as well! 😜 Highly recommend!“

“Excellent chef and delivery service“

“I have been a customer of this place for a year now. I usually get Chicken, Goat a vegetable dishes every other weekend. Their preparations are tasty and reasonably priced and the front desk personnel like Guru are very courteous and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for Indian Cuisine.“

“We recently celebrated a family function at this banquet hall with our friends and family, and it was a wonderful experience. The management and staff were extremely cooperative, attentive, and friendly throughout the event. From the planning stage to the day of the celebration, everything was handled with professionalism and care.

The team went out of their way to make sure our guests were comfortable and that the event ran smoothly. Their support really allowed us to relax and enjoy the special occasion. We truly appreciate their hospitality and would highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a memorable event.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“I ate here a few years ago - don't recall my whole meal but i remember it was good - love mint chuntey. The manager / staff was friendly. The space is small but organized and clean. Recently i ordered through uber eats - they had a buy one get one free promo on the chicken tikka. I also got a few orders of garlic naan. The chicken tikka with rice was good - moist chicken, good flavor and not too spicy. However the garlic naan was disappointing - it was a tad bit salty but mostly the bread was flat and dense - it should be a little more fluffy with a nice chew. Hope they read this and improve it - would give it another try.“

“Menu Taste Service Ambiance Nice Gesture Love ❤️“
