50 Best Indian Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Fantastic home made food. By far the best authentic food I have had . Absolutely phenomenal. The food was not too oily, had freshness and depth in flavor and was delivered to the table with a smile, this indeed felt like homemade food. Amazing work! I will be back again and again.“

“Amazing Indian food in a relaxing and chic setting. Great price for a Michelin star restaurant and service is fantastic. My favorites were the dosa and the mung beans. The squash kurma was a bit bland compared to the other dishes. The cocktails were also incredible.“

“Great new place! Entrée's were pretty good. Really authentic. We had bhendi masala, vegetable jalfreji, and yellow dal. All were really yummy! Rotis were great too. Appetizers could have been a bit better. Service was really top class. Loved the ambiance.“

“Proper non-veg South Indian food! It was so yummy and at a great price point for the area! The mutton keema dosa is especially a must have.And to anyone who read the 2 star review from some user named “A.K.” below mine, this restaurant is South Indian and to dock a restaurant stars because it doesn’t conform to your expectations based on North Indian food is like going to a place in New England and being shocked it doesn’t have Southern Style Fried Chicken because both restaurants are “American”.“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“I was on a work trip and have very special eating needs and Hemant and staff really came through for me on very short notice!!! I will forever remember and HIGHLY recommend to anyone!!! Thank you Hemant and Staff for going above and beyond for me!! Darcy T.“

“This restaurant is amazing. The menu is all vegetarian, prix fixe, and also all you can eat. They also take into account other dietary restrictions. Everything was delicious from the appetizers to the dessert. Our waitress (Divisha) was incredible and explained every dish to us and was beyond attentive. This is a must visit if you're in the city and come hungry!“

“Had not expected something like this during my US travel.Paani Puri assortment was many notch better than what we get in Mumbai.Vibes is all Deshi and representation of PAN India taste.Chandrakala Gujia popular sweet dish from Patna ,Bihar was another pleasant surprise.Vegetarian options: It's not just vegetarian but great taste and perfect blend of spices served with warmth. Loved the place and loved the food.“

“Came here with a large group of friends and had an incredible time! Everything I ate and drank was absolutely delicious and tasted so authentic. I would definitely recommend the Golgappa as an appetizer and the Lotan ke Chole as an entree! Add the Pipli cocktail and it’s a perfect night :)“

“Man what an experience. I never felt pain all over my face until I had the Rouge Big Rowdy Sandwich. If you can handle spice get medium because Rouge genuinely made it impossible to enjoy the Sandwich. After a long break I tried my friend’s sandwich, and it was delicious. Mango lassi was sweet and cold and perfect for when my face was burning.8.5/10“

“Fun, casual atmosphere. The music is a bit loud, but not very. I bring headphones when eating alone but I also love the music.The chettinad curry with lamb was great. It's coconut based and pretty thick and fattening, but very good. I got it with butter free roti and it came with rice. The lamb was not too fatty and was very tender - really excellent! Might not get the curry again because it is so fattening with all the coconut milk, or maybe I can just avoid eating all the coconut milk curry and only eat some of it plus the meat.The chicken vepudu is good and interesting. I'm not sure if it comes without dairy by default or if you have to order it special with no dairy. It is a bit hot for me but if I take breaks between eating then it's not too hot. It comes with lightly fried batter, maybe lightly fried onions and other things, and the meat is tender. Would get again.Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free options“

“From outside it looks like Small boutique Restaurant specializing in Indian cuisine & I just found it while roaming around streets of New York during recent visit & this accidental discovery didn't let me down, food quality & quantity both are amazing, owner is present almost from 11 am to 11 pm & staff is courteous, highly recommended as I visited all the sought after restaurants in town but this one stands out for the gourmet Indian food.“

“Great food and drinks!! The first bite of our appetizer took me back to India. One of the best Indian places I have tried in NYC. Below are the drinks, appetizers and entrees that we tried and can’t recommend them enough.Drinks: Drop the Beet, Silk Road, Old Fashioned, The Golden ChariotAppetizers: Nilgiri chicken and kalonji paneerEntree: Rajwadi Paneer, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and onion- chilli naanMy husband and I can’t wait to be back and try more items from their menu. Hoping we can try their brunch as well!“

“Truly one of the best flavorful biryani I’ve had in a long time! One of my friends had suggested this place, because I’d been craving an authentic biryani for so long…my years spent in Karachi, Pakistan where I’d been addicted to the aromas and the infused spices of biryani, I’d been craving for that taste…Being in NYC, I’d visited so many outlets, but couldn’t get that taste…upon my friend’s recommendation, I came to this place…what a hidden gem! Bhavaani, my attendant was truly knowledgeable about the different types of biryanis. She was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in providing professionalism and outstanding customer service! I ordered the ‘Rishta Lamb Biryani’ which indeed was bursting with so many flavors, and the spices were just perfect…I also enjoyed very much the nice glass of Chardonnay wine, which was a great touch with my meal!!!??All in all, it was such a memorable experience for me, and I will definitely recommend this amazing gem to all my family and friends…❤️❤️❤️“

“Tamarind Tribeca provided an exceptional dining experience. We started with the flavorful Lasuni Gobhi and Tandoori Mixed Grill, both of which were delicious and well-prepared. The Lasuni Gobhi and Dal Makhani (from the Mixed grill) was a standout, bursting with garlic and spice. For drinks, the Mango Cosmo was a refreshing choice, perfectly balanced and complementing the meal.Moving on to the main course, the Paneer Pasanda and Murgh Kohlapuri were good but not outstanding (maybe we expected more from a Michelin star). The paneer was rich and creamy, while the Murgh Kohlapuri was spicy and flavorful, showcasing Indian flavours. The Cucumber Raita, Lacha Parantha and Garlic Naan were exceptional - soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked.Our server, Siddharth, provided excellent service, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable, ideal for a special meal or celebration.Overall, Tamarind Tribeca met our expectations with its delicious food, great cocktails, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an upscale Indian dining experience in Tribeca.“

“We've ordered delivery from here many times in the past. This was our first time eating here. Food is even better fresh. Staff was very friendly and service was excellent. We were lucky to walk in and get a table for 2 at 6pm Friday as the place was full.“

“Hands down one of the best authentic Indian food we had in NYC. Everything was so fresh. The owner was very welcoming and truly showcased “atithi devo bhava”. It felt like home. They customized the paneer tikka for my kid and she loved it. Would absolutely visit this place again.. and again.. kudos!!“

“The food at Munanyc is simply outstanding. Each dish is a masterpiece! From the delicious food to the impeccable service, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Kamal, Lokhinda, Ragini, and the entire staff were very catering, attentive, and sweet. Can't wait to return for another amazing dining experience! I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Food is deeply flavored amazing classic Indian food, coconut naan is extra delicious, lovely calm music, soft lighting nice art and comfy chairs, corkage fee for wine is only €5 bring for yourself a nice dry riesling this place is amazing!“

“We’re surrounded by all sorts of cuisine - except Indian, arguably my favorite. So I was happy to see Gulab come into this space. And it is AWESOME!Easy parking, very comfy and easy atmosphere to dine in .. the staff is SO nice, we love them .. and the food is just great. I’m very picky about ingredients and they accommodate me all the way every time.The menu is easy and plentiful and every single dish I’ve had so far is perfect.Plenty for gluten free, which is hard to find.Oh and - the Gulab special may be the best deal around.We LOVE Gulab!!!“

“Best Indian food in Manhattan. We had samosa, soya chap and chicken chilli aa appetizers. They were all finger licking tasty and amazing quality. Naan and roti were also soft. Great service as well. Also gave us complementary Gajar halwa. Sill definitely visit again.“

“Diminutive space with down-at-heel appearance —but the urban decay is part of the charm. The samosa and aloo tikki were good. Both are potato heavy but herb seasoning is present and noted and flavorful. They’re large, hot and filling. Great option for cheap filling hot snack if you have cash. $3/ each. Cash only. The English spoken here is barebones strictly transactional English.Vegetarian options: Pretty sure everything here is vegetarian.“

“The food and service here were pretty spectacular! The Achari mushrooms and Cauliflower Manchurian were my favorite appetizers! (I'm a meat lover so I'm amazed at how they made Cauliflower taste like Sesame Chicken!!) For entrees, I would highly recommend the Lamb Rogan Josh, so tender and juicy and bursting with flavor! Also, the Tandoori Salmon is a must have because it was seasoned, smoked and cooked to perfection!! Beba was our server and she was so patient and kind with a group who couldn't make up their minds! And lastly, please check out the bartender (I think his name was Sean, but I could be way off :/...I blame the a-a-alcohol..) He makes a mean cocktail and he is not at all stingy with the good stuff ?.“

“Amazingly DELICIOUS very great menu alot to choose from I wanted it all so I started with the salmon tikka I’ll be back to try everything else !!!Tanmay our server was very helpful and hooked us up with mango desert, he’s super cool and welcoming !!!!“

“If you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of substandard pav bhaji and vada pav at every Indian restaurant, then behold - this is the greatest pav bhaji you’ll find in the state.First up - they have the pav that is the closest to what you can get in Maharashtra. Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.“

“Such an excellent place with wonderful food. The first time we went, a while ago, we just walked in and had dinner...now it appears you cannot do that as the place is small and packed. So do get yourself a reservation. Or if you haven't had the foresight to do that, you can take the same food home as I just did. I loved the dals, particularly the tadka and every biryani I have tried. The service is smooth and friendly, and my take out order came quickly and was so well-wrapped that it was still quite warm after a slow bus ride in chilly weather. I plan to go back as often as I can....(or take out) -------------------- Second and third time, I tried new things, just as great. I really like this place and will keep coming back. The staff is really welcoming.“

“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“

“Loved my time here! Amazing and authentic food. We ordered the off-menu Goan mega Thali’s that you have to call two days in advance for. We got the king fish thali, boneless salmon thali, vegetable thali, lobster tikka masala and the best chai in nyc. Beautiful decor as well!“

“Came here for a late dinner double date as we were craving Indian food, and it really hit the spot! They have a wide array of vegetarian and vegan Indian classics. The menu is presented on an iPad which was interesting. I tried the kadai paneer masala (which tasted like a chicken tikka masala with paneer instead of chicken). The flavors were incredible. I also tried some of my partner's Hakka noodles with vegetables (Manchurian), which was filling and had delish. The interior is clean and decor was aesthetically pleasing. Service was kind and they let us stay past the official closing time.“

“I’ve had this place on my list for a while now. I loved trying the kebabs and sharab/drinks (virgin for me!). I loved the colonial-era decor with peacocks and carved wood.The appetizer portion sizes could be improved and the bathrooms could’ve been better too but nothing too bad. The food was really good!Here’s what we had:▪️Dahi ke Kebab (yogurt) 9/10▪️Sardarji Machi (Old Delhi fish) 9/10▪️Doori Kebab with Sheermal (goat) 10/10▪️Paneer Shashlik (cheese skewers) 6/10▪️Old Delhi Korma (mutton) 8/10▪️Bangin’ Baingan (eggplant) 7/10▪️Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese) 5/10?Chai raisin cake with rasmalai milk and chai ice cream 6/10?Mango Chutney (mango, pomegranate) 8/10ps> they’re halal and even brought out dates for the whole restaurant for iftaar!?

“This was my first time trying Indian Food Ever, so I was a little nervous and scared! I arrived, and I was greeted by the lovely manager Tina, she geared us to the bar while our table was ready, and recommended some great drinks, it was less than a 5 minute wait! When I say the eggplant and garlic appetizer was out of this world! The flavors were so unique, and just outright delicious. We then ordered the tiger prawns, which was a surprisingly large serving, topped off by the mint and cilantro cream, I was licking my fingers, after, the pot of lamb with basmati rice, felt like we were eating in someones home eatings moms cooking, topped off by delicious milk dessert, I couldn't have picked a better place to dine. The service was great, all my food arrived right after the other, the servers were so helpful describing every dish, and breaking it down for me. The manager Tina checked on our table, always made sure we were having excellent time.Just the ambiance of the entire restaurant, everyone enjoying the food/music, makes you remember why NYC is so great!“

“The restaurant was slightly off the tourist truck, but it was busy with people. The service is friendly but very slow compared to New York's ways of service. The place is simple inside, with nothing to brag about, but the food explodes with flavors. I ordered Vindaloo, which is a lamb dish, and it is so spicy and garlic naan break. The dish was delicious, and eat every bit of it. The sauce was so good i used naan to finish it off. I want to return and order more, but this time, i will ask for the authentic level of spice.“

“This place is an amazing find so close to Times Square! If you are in the are don't miss the opportunity to have dinner, or lunch here. The ambiance is great for a date night, the food is so flavorful and delicious, and the staff are so friendly and attentive.“

“The service at this restaurant was great! We visited on a weekday night and easily found a parking spot right outside. When we walked in, we were given the option to choose our own table and the staff kindly dimmed the bright lights for a more comfortable atmosphere. Although only two visible workers on duty, they were incredibly kind and patient, despite our longer waiting time for food. Here are some examples of their exceptional service:- Our waiter waited patiently while we took our time to order and even explained the menu to us since we were not familiar with Indian cuisine.- When my dad accidentally spilled water on the floor, a waiter immediately came to clean it up.- The staff checked on us regularly and provided us with clean dishes and utensils after each course/meal.(Also there was a free refill for the rice)Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant and would definitely recommend it to others.Dietary restrictions: My sister is gluten free, soy free, dairy free (she can eat yogurt though but she can't have cow's milk), can't have beef, can't have lentils, can't really have fruit, can't have msg, and some other stuff due to an immunity gut cleanse diet thing. This restaurant was able to accommodate her dietary restrictions nicely and she was able to enjoy her meals without worry.“

“Wow, this was one of the best meals I've ever had. Every dish was perfectly cooked, seasoned and presented. The flavors were subtle and delicate and each bite was exquisite, you could tell the chefs cared deeply about their food. I am blown away.“

“Whoa. Did not expect the quality of this place. Everything was super neat and organized. Staff friendly and accommodating, small place but good food and service. Recommended chicken 65, easily one of the best in NYC. Their curries are also good. Give it a try. Expensive as it is in such a busy area, but worth it!“

“From start to finish, the evening was delightful & the Manager & Wait-Staff were magnificent. Making every effort to ensure our table was attended to, & didn't spare any effort to answer questions, suggest delicious meals, & ensure that we left wanting more. Definitely give this place a try!“

“Best Birayani & more is your go-to spot for mouthwatering biryani. Their aromatic biryani, whether chicken or lamb, is a must-try. But it's not just about biryani—the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala are equally delicious. With generous portions and friendly service, Best Birayani & more is your ticket to a flavor-packed Indian feast.“

“Had been looking for an Indian restaurant with actually really good and authentic Indian food (really hard to come by in New York) and the food here did not disappoint. I had the three course menu and the portion sizes were just the right size. Not pictured here was the complimentary amuse bouche they brought at the start which was honestly the highlight of the meal, I could have had 5 more. I didn't quite hear what it was but my friend and I LOVED it. Some kind of bread thing and chai flavored soup? Anyway it was delicious. The shrimp and crab were cooked perfectly and very flavorsome. I wasn't too sold on the desserts or the ambience but overall a great dining experience.“

“Embark on a sensory voyage through the flavors of India at Bombay Grill, where every dish is a testament to culinary excellence. Begin your culinary adventure with the tantalizing Chilli Chicken, guaranteed to awaken your taste buds.Next, savor the indulgent Malai Chicken.Accompanying these culinary delights is the aromatic Garlic Naan, offering the ideal canvas to soak up the vibrant flavors of your meal.Finally, dive into the depths of flavor with the Fish Curry.

“I MAY HAVE JUST FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE INDIAN RESTAURANT IN NEW YORK. Food: I had the Lamb Vindaloo. The spice had me sweating, but that's my favorite kind of spice. So packed with flavor and the lamb pieces buried in the curry was so juicy and tender. Delicious to dip some garlic naan into. My gf thoroughly enjoyed her Chicken Korma as well. My mouth is watering thinking about a bite. Can't wait to be back. Service: Amazing service. Incredibly friendly and attentive. Checked up on us frequently to make sure we had everything we need. Ambiance: Cute little restaurant. Will definitely be back. They do delivery as well!“

“First time visiting this restaurant and it was great! The owner is a very pleasant, hospitable and a kind guy. Went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Food was very good and the owner, as mentioned, was very accommodating.W restaurant; would go again.“

Thanks to her . Next time I will bring my family.Vegetarian options: Paneer chilly ,Veg jhol momo and veg chawmin“

“I visited De Tandoori Knight on a Saturday 4/6/24. I was dining alone. The customer service was excellent. The restaurant was small but very clean and organized. The prices were excellent and the portions were great. I ordered Chicken Korma with Basmati rice, regular Naan bread and a Mango Lassi. The chicken was very tender, the sauce was creamy, delicious and not spicy. The Naan was good. I loved the Lassi. I had leftovers. I will definitely be returning. I am Puerto Rican and grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Growing up here there were no Indian restaurants. So happy to see more Indian restaurants now. I've been eating Indian food for about 20 years. To my Latinos try Indian food you might just love it. Not all dishes are Spicy. Visit this restaurant you may just love it like I did.“

“Fluffies offers fresh and delicious high qualitychicken. The service is fast and friendly. I love the crisp of the signature sandwich! The place was super busy on a Friday night but the staff were friendly and fast service. The dining room needs more attention. Highly recommend trying it.“

“My favourite home town food which is he is serving in the week 4 to 5 days. We really love the food here & drum sticks are must try & samosas are really big size .

Chef THIRU annan . we love you’re food & your hospitality keep rocking ???“

“My new favorite Indian restaurant in the city. First of, freshly made food, Indian cooking loses its charm if it's not made fresh. Menu is quite unique and food flavorful. We went in for the Tondoori Pomfret on a friend's recommendation and landed up, loving every dish we ordered. Pani Puri, Bok Choy chaat, tandoori Pineapple, tandoori Pomfret, Spinach Paneer, yellow tadka dal, Naan.A must try restaurant!!!Vegetarian options: Vegan option also available, ask them for recommendations“

Christopher's genuine care and attention to detail elevate the dining experience, as he always remembers our orders. Every visit to this restaurant feels like coming home.“

“Saw this place in social media and I knew I had to try it, so I did and it did not let me down. The concept is a blend between mexico and India but the food if absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended to try! They have two locations, one in Hells Kitchen and another in Greenwich Village.“

“My husband and I went to this restaurant for Valentine's Day dinner, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I ordered a delicious chicken chettinad and my husband a tikka masala.The chicken was so soft and juicy, and the sauces were amazing! The garlic naan was crispy and cooked to perfection.Our server Anil was super attentive and nice, and made the whole experience even more pleasant.The owner and chef (Mohammed) came to our table to see if everything was right and to thank us for the visit.We highly recommend this place.“
