50 Best Indian Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Visited this spot for a casual Friday date night. The atmosphere was cool/quiet, and they had a World Cup game playing. I had the Lamb Jalfrezi and she had the Lamb Biryani, and both our dishes were excellent! The lamb was tender, the dishes well-spiced, and the cheese and garlic naan were heavenly. The server was fantastic and at no point rushed us, even though we had a longer meal. I 100% recommend the restaurant to anyone in the area!“

“Great for Indian food aficionados and newbies alike. The price tag comes with an appropriate amount of table side flair, flavor, and food. Hannah and David were absolutely fantastic in all aspects of service. The food was unbelievably good. We’ll definitely be back“

“Best food ever“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“INCREDIBLE Indian food experience in New York! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. It was incredible! The server was very sweet and warned that while the Mango Lassi cocktail was delicious it was very sweet, she suggested a Mango Majito instead, which was absolutely DELICIOUS and not overly sweet at all.

The owner Syed came over and introduced himself, he personally thanked me for coming to his restaurant and offered me a free dessert, which was delicious as well.

Absolutely cannot recommend Cloves enough! I am very excited to bring my Indian food loving family in to enjoy!“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“Delicious and inventive food. Everything had a great blend of flavors and textures, where all the ingredients remained distinct and the composition was better than the parts. The crispy lacha paratha was one of the best I've had. The morels korma was excellent. I'll be back to try more.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and the food was well paced, I never felt under pressure to leave.“

“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!!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Veerays isn't just a restaurant. It's a story.

Treat yourself to this atmospheric speakeasy space that also has magnificent food.

Sit in the red velvet booths, enjoying fresh Naan and spectacular paneer.

The drinks are lovely and so special.

The flavors and atmosphere will add to your own story.

Want something extra divine?

Go during lunch. At one point, we had private dining.

Oh what a story!“

“Semma in New York City is widely celebrated for its heritage-focused approach, bringing rare and authentic Southern Indian flavors to a stylish, relaxed setting.“

“Great food, great service and value for the money. Great atmosphere“

“I had the most amazing experience at Passarine! It’s a must-go. The modern take on Indian is incredibly creative and everything we had was outstanding. Decor is beautiful- from wallpaper to dishes-every detail feels very thoughtfully designed. The private room is especially stunning… and spacious yet very intimate! Standouts were the shrimp koliwada, crispy cauliflower, aloo dumplings and the chicken saagwala…all delicious. And you MUST save room for the Passarine Ice Cream sandwich! The service was terrific too. All around it was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Veeray da Dhaba. The food was packed with authentic Punjabi flavors and tasted just like a home-cooked meal. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the biryani was perfectly seasoned, and the naan was fresh and soft. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive and friendly. A fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious North Indian cuisine in NYC.“

“the customer service was amazing! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others“

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“From the outside, one might think this a food hall of sorts. Its definitely more of a hub for food delivery services. There were countless pickup orders and, including us, 2 other tables that came to sit and eat. The atmosphere has grande ceilings with floor to ceiling windows with bar seating running along and maybe 8 tables. There are hard-copy menus and touchscreen stations to order but the choices are countless; resulting in a time consuming firt-timer experience. There's 1 kitchen that pumps out separate restaurant menu items. The food was ok. I got a Mexican-style chicken bowl that was crossed with another restaurants curry chicken; bites here and there were different. My husband got an Asian-style chicken fried rice bowl that came out cold. 2nd attempt was saturated in sesame oil and inedible. We didn't realize it at the time but Amex Gold got rid of Goldbelly, replaced by Wonder; big mistake in our opinion as Goldbelly is worldwide and Wonder is limited to big-city access for a lesser quality product.“

“Rudra Indian Bistro on Cedar Lane is authentic as it gets. We have been here so many times and will always keep coming back because the food is high quality, healthy, and very delicious. We always start with the House Salad which is a great way to begin your meal. The Tandoori chicken is so juicy and succulent, and the Lamb Korma is one of our favorites. I highly recommend Rudra Indian Bistro! One of the best restaurants of Teaneck...“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“Finally visited Bungalow today after almost a year in waiting. It was one of the best dining experiences , we ever had. The food and the drinks along with their service was amazing. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Vikas Khanna himself brought their complimentary signature orange mousse, which was more than delicious. Seeing him interact with every single guest in the restaurant was so heart warming. A really humble and friendly person. Wishing him and his team all the very best.“

“It was an extremely rainy day and we walked in without a reservation. Major props to the main guy who gave us a table despite the extremely busy Saturday night.

Food was average though -

Mocktails were great!“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Musaafer was an absolute gem and easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in NYC! We came in with high expectations and left completely blown away.
We ordered the shrimp toast, lychee ceviche, the butter chicken experience, and the Chilean sea bass Malwani style — every single dish was outstanding. The butter chicken experience is unlike anything you’ve had before, and the Malwani sea bass was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. The lychee ceviche was such a creative, refreshing start.
But the star of the evening? The saffron drink. Absolutely out of this world — we’re still thinking about it!
The decor is stunning, the service was warm and attentive, and the whole evening felt special from start to finish. If you’re looking for elevated Indian dining in NYC, Musaafer is the one. Don’t think twice — just book it!“

“The staff is genuinely welcoming attentive. We ordered butter chicken which was creamy and rich with just the right kick of spice. highly recommend“

“Food was fabulous. We had a large party and tried their lamb chops, Okra, daal and bbq chicken with real charcoal flavor. Fresh tandoori roti just made everything better.show stopper was the gulab jamun créme burlee. I visit aroqa eventide I am in NYC. Their drinks are next level, taste and presentation both.“

Our waiter was attentive, the service was quick, the food was delicious, the portions were just right, and to top it all off, we were given a free dessert! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“Service was impeccable! We ordered take out at the restaurant, but they let us sit at the bar and offered a glass of water. Both of our curries were outstanding, rice was standard, but the naan was a bit chewy. The nice gentlemen even gave us a complementary mango lassi! Will be coming back if we’re in NYC again. 😊“

“Exceptional indoor modern Indian dining experience. The team is very professional and helpful in picking menu items you will love. This is what we ordered and we will be back soon for more! Appetizers: Lasuni Gobi Chicken Khurchan Khyber Pickled Mushrooms Mango Tulsi Prawns Main Course: Methi Paneer Malai Toast Garlic Shrimp Bhuna Dal Bukhara Pandara Road Wala Butter Chicken Garlic Naan Thanks Arnav and your team for a fun and delicious experience 🇮🇳🥘🍚🤩“
