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.“

“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!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Small place but serves great food! Loved the biryani. Authentic dum, unlike the pilaw versions sold in most Indian places. We tried the goat biryani, chicken curry (Dum ka Murgh), and nan. Must say, we have been trying Indian places in midtown for nearly a month - this place is the only one that we would wanna go back to!“

“..most definitely the finest Indian cuisine I’ve tasted anywhere in my life. Menu takes some deciphering, but does not disappoint. Unique new school twists on your all time old school favorites. Chicken Tikka Masala on the menu is called (Madame Makhani), so you won’t want to miss that. The Don’s Lamb Chops, Rogan Josh, some rice and the Coconut Naan will complete your order and leave you amazed. Desert selections are also in code the menu, but the Cardamom Culfi (Handcuff) is a sort of ice cream the pairs excellently with the Gulab Jamun which is called (Masquerade Ball). This place is a must visit if you’re in Manhattan, NYC…and don’t be intimidated by the menu, the waiters are more than happy to help you crack the code.“

“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.“

“Great food! Large portions, fair prices. Highly recommend. Ordered chicken, vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, samosas and naan bread. Main dishes come WITH plenty of rice. We have more than enough food for two leftover meals and will definitely be back for more after that.💕💕“

“This is some of the best Indian food I have ever had. The service wait time isn't long at all and the food is phenomenal. Also the man who served us was a very pleasant man. He was quick to respond to request and attentive. The price is also so affordable in my opinion in light of today's economy.

The atmosphere is cozy. Will definitely be back a third time! The music is pleasant the seating is comfortable. The decor is comfy too.

Ive had vegetarian and seafood here, both are delcious.

I don't often give 5 stars but this place I've visited twice in one week and was pleased both times. Needs to be a local favorite if it isn't already.“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“Very nice experience at Muna. The staff was very friendly, and accomodating. We had a food allergy at our table, and they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we had appropriate options. Food was also very good, and of great value. Will return.“

“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).“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“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...“

“Went at 7:30 on a Wednesday. Place was empty, which made us a little nervous. We got the “sit them in the window so it looks like we have customers” seat.

If you’re after UK or New Zealand–style curry, this isn’t it. But give it a chance—it’s still good. Nothing was amazing, but everything was nice. The naan was warm, and the flavors were solid. The papadums were soft, which isn’t great—they should be crispy—but that was the only real miss.

The setting was nice, the service was nice, and honestly, for Hell’s Kitchen just off Times Square, the price was very reasonable.

They even gave us a free dessert—gulab jamun, those syrupy donut balls—which was a nice touch.

Nothing blew us away, but we had a lovely time and I’d definitely come back.“

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

“I had the pleasure of dining at Bombay Chowk and everything from start to finish was exceptional. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special occasion.“

“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!“

“Taste was also really good 😊“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Very good service and good food“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“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!“

“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“

“This place rules!!! The food was awesome and extremely flavorful and TASTY!!! I’ve been here a few times and the quality is always top notch in every way! We had the hey Siri, how do you spell Mulligatawny Soup (I guess I’ll leave that in to show my poor spelling skills…), Paneer Makhani, Lamb Tikka Masala, the okra and a fish dish and lots of Naan ALL DELICIOUS!! The Lassi was very good as well! Everyone that works here is super nice and the person that took care of us was awesome! She rules!!! Can’t wait to come back here and I hope you come and support a GREAT restaurant!! Thanks! 🙏“

“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!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“$13.95 lunch special is unbeatable and unheard of. The best part, quality and quantity of food was delicious. Family owned restaurant and the father is in the front of the restaurant serving his guest for a delightful experience. He deserves more love for what he gives to this restaurant. Please stop by and enjoy the food here.

If I have a chance to come back, I will for sure.“

“We had late lunch there on Feb 19 and it was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive and they beautifully packed up our extras. The entrees came sizzling, the naan was tender and tasty and the Sag Paneer just as delightful as ever (I used to work nearby and came for lunch).“

“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.

“Great time at The Drunken Munkey - UES! Food, service, and atmosphere were traditional and solid. The mango lassi was perfect—smooth and delicious! However, the wet, cold rice was disappointing. Hope this can be fixed to maintain the success.“

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