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“

“A great Indian spot! My mom and I came last minute as we love indian food and we had a phenomenal meal! We shared the samosas, goa shrimp curry, lamb rogan josh, baingan bharta (eggplant), rice, and garlic naan! And they were so friendly and even brought us dessert on the house. Excited to come back!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“..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“

“The biryani was delicious! I ordered the dum biryani, and the portion was perfect for one person. The place is quite small and a bit cramped, and there’s no wash basin available, so you’ll need to use wet wipes. Despite that, the food and service were really good overall.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“Our server's timing complemented the pacing of our meal perfectly. Personnel work with both speed and friendliness. Yelp users steered me toward this excellent spot. My friend and I split this dish. The restaurant exceeds what I expected.“

“We came to try out this place thanks to a recommendation. Bratik, our server, was above and beyond. His recommendations were top notch and he even treated us to some unexpected menu surprises. We had the tandoori salmon (amazing with some tikka sauce on it), butter chicken and keema naan. We sampled the Bhel Puri, a delicious, crunchy app with tamarind chutney. Must try if in NY!“

“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...“

“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).“

“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.“

“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! 🙏“

“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!“

“Taste was also really good 😊“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“We’ve eaten at Gulab in Cliffside Park several times, and the food is always excellent. The chicken tikka is flavorful and tender, the chicken biryani is perfectly seasoned, and the naan comes out nice and warm every time.

The atmosphere isn’t anything fancy, but the consistently great food more than makes up for it. Definitely one of the best spots in the area for a reliably delicious meal.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Very good service and good food“

“The dishes here feel both new and somehow familiar. We felt immediately at home at Javitri Indian Cuisine! The staff displays remarkably good looks. Nothing seems to be an afterthought here. This spot exceeds expectations and I tell everyone!“

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

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“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.“

“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 wanted to find somewhere near 55th street, and Karahi Indian Cuisine looked ideal.
On arrival we sat down in a very pleasant and not too noisy restaurant with water at the ready and two colorful menus.

I asked if they could do a Madras and the chef said he could make one.
It was amazing. They read me perfectly, hot, but not too hot. And the flavour, it was delicious. Real care and original. Maybe a cliche, but certainly the most pleasant and enjoyable madras I've had. Maybe a New York flare? Maybe just authentic. But definitely an excellent meal. As for my colleague, he went for the mixed grill, and that, too was something special, lamb, shrimp, chicken, big chunks and beautifully presented. Luckily for me, my friend doesn't have as large appetite as I so I had some of his chicken and he was stuffed. I'm full too. The portions were really good. And we were asked if we wanted more rice, but even I don't think I could have had anymore. The staff were really friendly and genuinely interested in our enjoyment.

We both had Naans, I had a peshwari, and it was lovely. As we were going to a show, we didn't have time for dessert, but did stay for a little time. No pressure and just enjoyed a little rest. The food came in good time, maybe 10 minutes. They are really well set up.

Would fully recommend. Quality, tradition and passion would describe Karahi Indian Cuisine.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“Delicious Authentic Indian Cuisine“

“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).“

“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.“

“Delicious Samosas, crispy cauliflower, garlic Nan and butter chicken!“

“Off course there is food is very awesome they are way of carrying the people very different its never forgetteble moment its always memorable chef James I’ll recommend my friends and relatives we hope we will meet very soon thanks to everyone again ...“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

“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.
