50 Best Indian Restaurants near Hackensack

“This place was great, if you look at my profile it may see like I only leave good reviews but it’s because I usually only review if the place stood out and this place is one of them. Such a fun a delicious new twist on Indian food. The quality and quantity of the food was great for the price and their homemade mango lassi is delicious. Also got to speak with the owner briefly and he was very friendly. If you are craving Indian but want to try something a little different I would definitely check this place out“

“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“

“Just found it on the way to our hotel when we stop at dominoes pizza ,so I just enter the restaurant and order burns road chutney paratha roll and mayo garlic roll and falooda for me and my husband. And don’t regret at all . Amazing food. And having authentic falooda after so long. I must say falooda was actually the hit better than Toronto. (We are visiting newyork from toronto.) very near by to our uncle’s home. So we will definitely stop by next visit to newyork for falooda for sure.“

“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 !“

“Absolutely amazing meal! Was recommended to us by a friend, and we recommend it to you. A quick walk from our Broadway show, the meal was a perfect night cap. The mango margaritas were the perfect combo of sweet and spice; the cauliflower appetizer was bold and perfectly crunchy; the aloo gobi was wonderfully catered to our spice level and still full of flavor; the flaan was to die for. Resturant manager Rakesh Arban did an awesome job taking care of us. The atmosphere included colorful decor, mellow ambiance, and easy to talk to one another despite a somewhat full resturant.

There are stairs down to the entrance door. There are two single stall restrooms. The price was very reasonable given it's location and portion sizes.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Warm, modern, and intimate restaurant that has a creative take on Indian cuisine. Upon entry, we were greeted welcomingly. You’d notice the decor immediately—stunning and attention to detail from top to bottom! The menu had so much to choose from and the servers were extremely helpful with explaining the differences. But the star of the show has to be the presentation of the food and the flavorful sauces. Worth the city prices. Would definitely come back for another special occasion!“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

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

“Amazing food. Loved the service given by the people around there. I really didn't expect to get such a good service at such an hour I;e 11:30am in the morning, that too on a weekday( Tuesday). The ambiance was neat and good. Highly recommend the lollipop dry and the goat dum Biryani that was suggested by the person over there. Perfect in flavours. Highly recommended for people who just loves food and flavours.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Visiting the city and thought of trying Indian. I must say I am impressed. The food was authentic, tasted absolutely delicious and Suresh (the host) was very hospitable. His servive was impeccable. They have amazing music and the ambience feels very lively. Would definitely visit 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!“

“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.“

“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 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).“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“Amazing Food. Excellent staff. So kind and mindful of our requests. We went with our baby and one of the staff gave my little kiddo Valentine’s flower. She kept dancing all the time.
We ordered Shrimp in main course but we thought it was not a main course dish to eat with rice so gave us extra gravy of butter chicken. We also ordered Paneer Khurchan which is very unique and delicious. Didn’t say No to anything we asked.
To top it all, they gave us delectable rasmalai desert with chocolate strawberry. So delicious.
We all enjoyed our valentine’s dinner.“

“The staff is very attentive and kind. We had the Tandoori Chicken Tikka which did not look like the photo in their online menu but was still very tasty, Butter Chicken, and the Chicken Korma. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We'd definitely go back.“

“Absolutely amazing authentic Indian food in NYC! We tried papdi chaat, paneer tikka, veg biryani and mango lassi, everything tasted excellent. Papdi chaat and mango lassi are a must try!
The service was outstanding. Mr. Appy was very sweet, kind and attentive, and made sure we were comfortable and had a great experience.
Great food, great service, and a lovely ambiance. Highly recommend!“

“Small, hole-in-the-wall Indian spot tucked away in Cliffside Park that you could easily pass a hundred times without noticing. I decided to give it a try because of the solid Google ratings, and I wasn’t disappointed.The order was prepared quickly and overall the food was pretty good.

The tandoori chicken cubes were very tender, though they could’ve used a little something extra to really take them over the top. Still enjoyable. The lentil soup was very good and stood out.

The menu has a fair amount of options, prices are baseline for the area, and the place was clean. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby.“

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

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the chef for preparing such an exceptional meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, balanced flavors. The attention to detail was remarkable from the perfect seasoning to the freshness of the ingredients, everything came together wonderfully.“

“Great food and services ✌️✌️“

“I love the food, the attention it's so good 👍🏻“

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

“Rudraks on the upper west side is a wonderful Indian restaurant. The food is fresh, delicious unique but familiar. The restaurant is cozy and people seem to really enjoy their time… having nice conversations. I have seen groups of families, couples and also individuals going to have a reasonably priced lunchtime meal Today. We had delicious lunchtime meal for $15 which included an entrée bread, rice, lentils, and dessert. You really can’t be that price and the food is really delicious not oily not greasy and the service is super kind and they make you feel like a very special customer. Thanks very much for such an enjoyable experience.“

“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.“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“Retro Indian songs, home like food, if you are a paratha fan, and miss ur mom's paranthe, this place is the one for you. The best part is Central park is nearby, so once you are done with ur parantha, you can walk and relax in ur food coma slump!!!!!“

“Angaar has a really impressive atmosphere that sets the right mood for an Indian dining experience — warm, richly decorated, and inviting from the moment you walk in. The setting does a great job of transporting you and building anticipation for the meal. The food and service, however, both land in average territory and don't quite live up to the promise of the beautiful space. With more bold, authentic flavors in the kitchen and more attentive service, Angaar could be a truly exceptional Indian restaurant.“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

“It’s a nice classy place 👍“

“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).“

“Taste was also really good 😊“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Amazing food, service. Family owned. Love it here.“

“Great place & delicious food! We had tandoori meat mix which is shrimp,lamb chicken and camel meat i believe. All very tasty!

Chicken Tikka was great as well! Garlic naan was perfection! Love this place and great host!

Most definitely coming back sometime“

“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.“

“Stayed close by. Needed a night cap and this place looked interesting. When you walk in it’s like WOW…I wasn’t expecting that! Then I asked Wil, the bartender about the cocktail options. All I can say is try the Indian Spiced Old Fashioned!! A must! Then I’m told they have a Happy Hour from 10pm to close Sun to Thursday…what?? So off course I had another. This time the Hot Toddy Royale…a perfect end of night drink. As I browse the food menu I am so disappointed I ate dinner before I came here. I am definitely coming back for food, drink, and great chats!“

“Best Indian food in this area. The food is prepared to your taste. Restaurant has a nice and pleasant decor. The ambiance is very relaxing, and you can have a conversation without screaming. The host is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. You are never rushed and can leisurely enjoy your meal.“

“Absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be returning when we come back to the city! Pricing is fair and portions are spot on!“

“We stopped in for some hot food, fast. This cafeteria-style South Asian restaurant serves delicious curries, perfectly-cooked rice, and generous portions of naan or raita bread. The price was right compared to other options in the area and the place was quiet and clean. We didn't really like the vegetable sides as much though, as they had somewhat unpleasant textures. Overall, we didn't let it affect our overall impression of an efficient and tasteful fuel-up.“
