50 Best Indian Restaurants near Hackensack

“Dine-in if you can, it's worth it!
We walked in on a Wednesday evening & the restaurant was empty except another family, dining in. The restaurant is clean, modern & a minimalist design.
Ordering was easy, we ordered a variety of appetizers, curries, pizzas, desserts & drinks.
The Naan pizzas are my favorite, their curries are good too! Make sure you specify your spice level when ordering.
There is paid street parking, so make sure you bring coins / pay by the app. I believe after 4 or 6pm, parking becomes free. The staff is great, welcoming & very friendly. Do note that their food is 10x better when you dine in. I've ordered delivery many times, & dine in tastes so much better!
I can't wait to be back!“

“I came across this place on my way to the post office. I’ve eaten here 2x now. I love the vegan options. The flavorful samosas(2) that come with a dipping sauce that have a kick to it and are great to start with. The already made stews are served with rice or roti. I chose roti this time. It’s delicious either way. It’s best served hot so eat in the restaurant!
Service is always friendly and professional.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“It was a wonderful experience after quite a shitty day. Elie was super helpful with her recommendations. The sea bass special was delicious (kiss the chef!). It was busy, but the service was fast and prices reasonable. We even received gulab jamun on the house in the end. We really needed that gesture, lol. Would highly recommend.“

“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 !“

“We got the triple schewan rice and noodles mix and vegetable manchurian gravy, both were delicious! It satisfied our indo-chinese cravings!
The service was prompt and ambience is good!
The only minus is the quantity of dishes which is pretty less for the price we pay.“

“We were seeing a Broadway show nearby this place. Wife and I wanted Indian food and Googled. This restaurant got great reviews and decided on this joint. Our hotel was about 1.5 miles and decided to walk it to work an appetite, it was well worth it. We ordered Chicken Biryani and Goat Vindaloo, my go to dish for rating Indian restaurants. We also ordered a Fried Sweet Potato Appetizer, Buttered Naan and Mango Lassis. Food tasted delicious and authentic. Good portions, Staff was attentive and accommodating, we packed and left our leftovers and picked it up after the show.“

“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!“

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

“Great food , specially the veg curry, non veg curry and nan . We took Kadhai chicken, nizami paneer and both were excellent. House special Boneless chicken biryani and paneer biryani were average. overall great clean place, ample seating space , great service and very decent price. Will recommend to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Indian food in manhattan“

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

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Really enjoyed my experience here. The food was delicious, flavorful, and well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. They even kindly offered a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great experience with tasty food and friendly service. Would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“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...“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“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.“

“My first time really exploring Bengali food and I'm blown away. The Kolkata dishes are fantastic, and even the Indo-Chinese chili chicken was amazing.

It's BYOB here with no corkage fee as of this writing, but it's only beer and wine allowed, no hard liquor.

I highly recommend the vegan Cholar Dal, it's a Bengali yellow split-pea/lentil dish with panch phoron (Bengali five-spice) and mustard oil. Fantastic!! Be sure to order a side of luchi poofy bread.

My only complaint is my stomach could not hold more food.“

“Absolutely essential neighborhood gem. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this place. It’s my favorite Indian restaurant in the neighborhood and I’m there all the time. The tiki aloo chaat and samosas are my go to starters - super tasty, super reliable, never miss.

The grill dishes are always on point too. The tandoori chicken hits every time: juicy, smoky, just really good. And the butter chicken… best in the city. I order it every single visit without fail. If you like some real heat, the lamb vindaloo is a standout and definitely brings it.

Plus it’s BYO!!! which makes it perfect for a chill dinner with friends. Total neighborhood staple.“

“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.“

“The Indian food is really great! Had Saag Paneer, Butter chicken, butter rice and naan. Everything was really delicious

They also have several options to customize for spice

Tried the chicken tikka masala cheesesteak and didn’t think the the flavors went well together. But would recommend this place for the Indian food

The service is very great, waiters are attentive, friendly and greet you warmly when you come in“

“An overall wonderful experience during a Sunday brunch buffet. Friendly and attentive staff made the meal even better on top of delicious food. A good selection of dishes cover the needs of both vegetarians and meat lovers. Especially loved the vegetarian samosa and the lamb vindaloo. A bowl of kheer at the end wrapped up a wonderful meal. Will be back again soon!“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“this is a neighborhood restaurant for me. However, it most certainly is worth the drive from other parts of the County as it feels warm ( beautiful ambiance , down lighting) while feeling very homey. The owners supervise the superb food and are as friendly as can be. This translates to a complete experience. Tandori dishes are cooked the old-fashioned way with charcoal or wood( grandfathered in). The curries are great, the bar varied, and the naan superb. Everything tastes homemade, is made to order, and not part of a production line. Thank you again: my friends loved it and will be back again with their own families....“

“Got the butter chicken, dal makhani, and tandori chicken. The tandori chicken was very good. The butter chicken was also good but the chicken was a bit overcooked and tough. The dal was pretty good but not my favorite. The masala chai was ok a bit watery for me“

“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).“

“Good all around Good food,good atmosphere“

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

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

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“The service was very pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. Food was fantastic! Best onion pakoras ever!“

“Incredible. The moment I stepped through the door I was warmly welcomed. The friendly staff were always topping up my water. The food was absolutely delicious and good value for money. Perhaps the best service I have experienced in the entire city.“

“We have been to Rudraks a few times and we love it! Food is so fresh and flavorful. The kebabs are delicious. The chicken dishes we tried are great along with some of the vegetarian options as well. Lots of the appetizers are delicious including tandoori mushrooms and vegetable fritters. The owners & staff are so kind and generous. We went for a birthday celebration and they brought out a slice of cake from Paris Baguette! So incredibly sweet of them. Absolutely recommend! Will be back again soon.“

“Excellent food from the small dishes to the large plates. We sampled their chicken, lamb, kale/spinach, eggplant, garlic/onion naan, and shrimp. Everything was was cooked to perfection and the sauces were super delicious. If you are celebrating a birthday, the play awesome upbeat birthday music, lol!“

“The food was below average, mainly the paneer 65 biryani.
The bowl base was filled with chilli paneer peaces (appetizer kind of thing) and above that was vegetable biryani.
I got 2 items for 1 price 😂.
Sorry, but definitely not a go to place after this experience.“

“Amazing food! Every dish we tried was delicious! 😋“

“Nice place and super food.“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

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

“Wow! Walked in without a reservation on a busy Friday night and was treated very well. Delicious Palek Paneer and Lamb Biryani (with raita), and garlic naan, all for less than $60. The decor is nothing special but the service is fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely returning!“

“I am officially obsessed with Inday. Best samosas in the game. Wonderful sauces. Great rewards program that is simple and easy to understand and generally great vybes. I've frequented the NOMAD location on 26th & Broadway but I look forward to checking out other locations. Thanks for the nutritious meals and good energy and kind staff.“

“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.“

“This is a great spot for the people that are familiar with the Indian cuisine and are looking for a comfort food spot. Their chicken curry was really creamy and tasty and the meat was tender. Their waiter was really kind and patient with us but the food did take a little longer than we expected. Also when you come in to this restaurant you get a strong smell of their Indian spices and overall food which might throw away some people but definitely not me.“

“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).“
