50 Best Indian Restaurants near Hackensack

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“The vegetable platter was delicious, we ordered four different curries, two vegetarian and two regular ones. The mixed vegetable curry was okay, the string bean flavor was too prominent. The baingan bharta, chicken curry, and mango curry chicken was pretty good, but be warned the spicy is quite spicy. We also order mango juice and lassi, which were both very refreshing.

Vegetarian options: There is an entire section on the menu for vegetarian“

“The quantity is quite large. Each parathas can be shared with 2 or 3 folks. We had their Aloo , halwa puri and omlete paratha for delivery.
The other day, we came across the restuarant on main street, surprised that it wasn't just a nook in the corner but very decent restuarant.“

“Best food ever“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“The best Indian food I’ve ever had in my life. I have brought my whole crew of friends and family, and each one of them can’t stop talking about this place. The food is beyond flavorful and has gorgeous presentation. I would come back here in a heartbeat, always and forever.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“We were in the city for 3 nights. I made reservations for the second and third nights. Left night one open. I found Saar online, it was less than a block from our hotel so we figured we'd give them a try. So glad we did. Nice place. Great, friendly service (Karim is the man!), and excellent food. I ended up cancelling the reservations I made for night 3 and we went back to Saar. Give them a try if you like Indian food. It was amazing!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a nice, smaller Indian restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was very good. The prices were very reasonable, especially for NYC. The meals were good sized portions- we were disappointed that we couldn't take our leftovers back to our hotel because it lacked a fridge and microwave- would've made a great lunch the next day.

We shared Tandoori Chicken, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan- ALL very good. They do not serve alcohol- that was the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. A nice cocktail or beer would have gone along well with the meal. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the food.“

“Do you ever just walk into a place and KNOW it’s going to get a 5 star review!?! Well, Gulab Indian Restaurant was this place. I cannot rave enough about the food, it was just amazing. And oh my God, the prices! Oh my God, the prices are AMAZING. First time in my life fine Indian cuisine was actually affordable. One of my favorite things about this place was the candles, they’re not electric! Lastly, the customer service was top line. The gentlemen working this store were so respectful and helpful. Would come back any day!“

“We had a great time at Junoon, special thanks to Jay, young and team … Food was mind blowing and overall it was great experience…“

“I live within walking distance from Cardamom restaurant and eat there often. The food is consistently excellent, and the people are always welcoming. Highly recommended! If you're not in the neighborhood, it's easy to get there on the subway (it's right between the 40th St. and 46th St. stations on the 7 subway line on Queens Blvd).“

“Needed Indian food, this place delivered!! Very authentic. Samosa were delicious. Lamb Vindaloo was on point. Staff made sure the spi e was not going to be too much, and it was perfectly spiced. Chana Masla was very flavorful. Service was great, very helpful, and always on top of it. Boxed up the leftovers for me.

Vegetarian options: Typical Indian vegetarian food.“

“We had a great experience here just a few minutes ago when we were here for lunch. The food was really tasty. The server also took a lot of interest and asked questions about what we liked and suggested tasty entrées that we could order. We had a great time and we would come again. Thank you, Bombay Grill House.“

“We dine at the Darbar Grill every time we visit NYC. Friendly service and delicious food - we highly recommend it!“

“I have heard a tremendous amount of positive things about this restaurant. Today I visited with family at lunch time. It has a good atmosphere. The food was delicious and fresh, with perfect timing of serving. I would love to visit this place again!“

“Taste was also really good 😊“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“I remember when this location was actually a cuban sandwich joint, then a pizza place that had nice pizza, then it became Spicy Bytes, my girlfriend and I were always so curious about this place but due to the odd weekday hours we never were able to tell if they were open. It was one day a week or two ago that I was walking around with my girlfriend where she suggested we try this place out since we noticed it was opened! Upon entering a young woman welcomed us warmly and showed us the menu, and took a seat. We ordered a Butter Chicken Curry to share and two orders of garlic naan bread, and got the curry at a medium spice level since my girlfriend can't handle spicy stuff at all, and she ADORED IT!

Upon taking her first bite of the butter chicken my girlfriends eyes lit up and widened, it was also her first time trying Indian food so I could tell she was very much hooked. We enjoyed our meal and were asked by the young lady if we needed anything else through out our meal, which I really appreciated. After eating we were both very satisfied and definitely plan on coming back for more. I am surprised they haven't done much with the interior since the last place since it still very much feels like the previous pizza place, but it honestly didn't bother me as this places food is something you should not miss :)“

“While in NYC we had a craving for Indian food, and Bombay Chowk was a great choice.

The Indian restaurants we are used to have spiciness scales when ordering, but at Bombay Chowk the food is prepared at set levels of spice.

My wife had the chicken Tikka Masala and it was slightly sweet. Still flavorful and tasty.

I opted for chicken Vindaloo and the server warned me it would be spicy. Thankfully I’m used to spicy Vindaloo and oh boy did it pack a punch. Very flavorful, the sauce was thick and more like a stew than a curry. The chicken was cooked well and not dry.

All in all, it’s a solid option for Indian food in NYC.“

“I've been meaning to come by for ages and finally dropped by with a friend for an early Friday dinner recently. We didn't have reservations, but when we got there around 5:45 there were still a handful of tables open (it did fill up quickly shortly thereafter though).

We ordered two main dishes to share - the paneer do pyaza and the dilliwala butter chicken - and also got an order of garlic naan (comes with 4 pieces) on the side. (The curries come with a side of rice as well.)

I really loved the butter chicken - the curry was really savoury and flavourful, and paired so well with the light garlic naan, and the chicken was really tender. I would definitely recommend this dish.

The paneer was also quite yummy - the texture was lovely, each cube not too hard - and the sauce was very full and rich. This might just be my personal taste, but I did feel like there was just too much other stuff going on (peppers, onions, etc.) that the dish felt a little haphazard overall.

We also each got one of the mango lassis, which was really yummy. The mango flavour tasted very fresh and not too sweet, and I liked that the yoghurt didn't feel too heavy or thick to drink.

A very nice meal overall, albeit definitely on the pricier side. That being said, I do think the price point is reasonable for the quality (esp given NYC price standards lol). I'd love to come back with a bigger group so I can try even more of their dishes (esp the appetisers!).“

“Very good service and good food“

“We had a party here and the experience was beyond any guest will dream of .sunny took extra measures to ensure the whole group enjoyed each minute spend along with great food. It's hard to debate if food was good or the service, if I choose one it will not do justice .so final verdict best food along with best service“

“Biryani is super flavorful and curries are great. But there are no reservations for this location resulting in a long wet and cold wait in the rain. Pair that with the blast of chill air every time the door opens and the crowded space this location might not be worthy visiting compared to the other.“

“Best meal I’ve had in a long time! I ordered takeout and already can’t wait to go back. I got the paneer tika masala and garlic naan which were both incredible. When I went to pick it up the atmosphere felt both cozy and sophisticated, and next time I go I definitely want to dine in person. The staff were very friendly as well!“

“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.“

“Very good food and great service. Staff was friendly and courteous. Bathrooms were clean.“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Delicious food and drinks! Friendly host/server. Highly recommend the fish curry and chana masala. We also had a couple of the bar bites (okra, chile paneer, cauliflower - all delicious). Small place with cute bar seating and a nice outdoor patio. Easy for takeout as well.“

“A not to be missed spot for classic and creative Indian cuisine. Chef's creations are innovative and delicious!“

“I celebrated my birthday with my best friend, and we started with aloo tikki chaat and paneer tikka for appetizers, followed by malai kofta and garlic naan for the main course. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. Towards the end of the meal, my friend surprised me by coordinating with the restaurant staff to celebrate my birthday, making it an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.“

“Best in Class! We went for lunch two days in a row. Delicious food at a very modest price. Great taste, nice portiers. very friendly staff. And the cleanest restroom in NY. Recommended!!!!!“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“First time I had Indian food was a few years ago in NC, and I was NOT impressed. We were up visiting my sister in Ridgewood and we went out for fathers day dinner at Tabla. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.“

“Delicious food always and wonderful drinks too!“

“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...“

“Food is tasty. Staff is very hospitable. Atmosphere is very chill.“

“The salmon saag is delicious! The fish is not overcooked.The background Indian music is lovely and not loud. The owner is so nice. He even said he's conscious to never allow the sounds of banging pots and pans to escape from the kitchen to bother guests. So sweet and thoughtful!“

“We recently had Vicky Vij catering the wedding of our daughter. All I have to say is they are exceptional in all ways-- service, food quality and taste, hospitality, price. Vicky went the extra mile to make sure that every thing was perfect. All the quests appreciated and the compliments were endless. I wish Vicky Vij the best and wish that his name is not tarnished by others.“

“Excellent okra, rosemary naan was ok, but the okra tamarind curry was wonderful.“

“Delicious food and great spot to dine with friends.“

“Awesome Indian food taking the presentation and cuisine to the next level“

“Great Indian food in the neighborhood. The food was rich with many flavors and came really fast. It was obvious it was all hand made like the samosa which had an original filling.
We took the kebab, a dish of palak paneer and dal makhani. Everything was super tasty. The garlic naan was also great.
We sat downstairs which was cosy and really felt like being in India again!
The only problem was the door which was opening up all the time and it was a bit cold for my taste.
Definitely will be back again!“

“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!“

“Absolutely love the food here. The service is excellent and very good. People are nice and helpful. The taste of the food is perfect. Very hygienic and cute and aesthetic atmosphere. Perfect for quiet nights.

“Came here on a Friday night. We made a reservation but arrived way earlier, they still were kind enough to accommodate us. The vibe is great, very candlelight and with music but not deafening. I’m not a very spicy food-tolerant person but I could enjoy our food nonetheless. Don’t leave without trying the Railway chicken. Drinks were tasty, kinda on the expensive side ($~20 per cocktail)“
