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“

“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!“

“Best food ever“

“Date of visit: October 18, 2026

I made a pickup order of Hyderabadi Goat Dum biryani through Grubhub and cost me $21.77 including tax. It was $19.99 before tax.

It was my first time since this business moved their location. Great flavor still. I did not have time to look around its interior but it was clearly larger than their last location which felt like a basement.“

“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 had a wonderful experience and we enjoyed our time the service was extraordinary everyone was welcoming , I want to emphasize on how good the food was .. I honestly can say it’s the best Indian food I’ve had in the US entirely, Syed Haider was such a great host , definitely recommended to everyone who comes to Manhattan“

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

“We weren’t quite sure what to order and Rakesh took care such good care of us by making the most wonderful recommendations. The food is the most delicious Indian food I have ever had, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff is so thoughtful and helpful. We will be returning 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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Food was great and they have a pretty good all-day special deal where you pick from a wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and a dessert or side. Our server was super nice as well. And conveniently close to Grand Central, so I’ll definitely be 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.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“Really enjoyed my experience at Spice Mantra. The food was flavorful, fresh, and had a really nice balance of spices without being overwhelming. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the whole meal just felt really well done. The service was friendly and attentive too. Definitely a spot I’d come back to next time I’m in NYC.“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“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.“

“Food is delicious. Have ordered several times trying different dishes, never disappointed. Delivery is fast. I put in wrong address online once, called, and the staff resolved it swiftly, no problem. I haven't tried dinning in the store yet, but the place looks good.
I'd like to suggest making the complimentary sauces optional as I generally don't need them. Hate to waste food.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“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.“

“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“

“It is exactly as it presents itself..for $10, the Thali with 2 rotis freshly made is a steal in this economy. The host was an older Punjabi gentleman and he treated me as a guest. Told me to sit down and eat well. He did not rush me. He showed true hospitality. The thali was delicious and piping hot fresh vegetarian food. I highly recommend this spot. There is a smaller dine-in area. I went during a time it was not too busy, so may work more as take out during peak times.“

“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“

“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!!!!!“

We had to get some container to go..it was generous. Please try it..thre staff are sweet too“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

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

“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.“

“Great food and services ✌️✌️“

“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!“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“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! 😋“

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