50 Best Indian Restaurants near Hoboken

“Been to this place quite a few times and we are big fans now! The two items I would say are absolute must have are the steamed veggie momos and the paneer tikka tacos!

Those tacos are genuinely so so so tasty! And the momos here are our absolute favorites in JC / NYC. I don’t think anyone makes better momos than them - and if you disagree, we are happy to do a taste test haha. We have tried the fried momos and steamed momos and while both are great, we are partial to the steamed ones!

The owner, Mr Rana, is super friendly. He accommodated us on a busy night on Karwa Chauth, he is always super friendly when we walk in with our baby in her car seat or stroller and helps us make space and get her situated very comfortably.

Definitely check this spot out!“

“We found this restaurant online ; we were in New York downtown and was looking for the perfect Biriyani Restaurant.
We had dine in with PaneerMakhani Biriyani & Veg.Biriyani . My daughter ordered Noodles . The food was delicious.
Thank you.“

“Was visiting Hoboken and looking for a good lunch spot close to Steven's University and came across Karma Kafe. Reviews were good and there were lots of people who took the time to rave so figured give it a shot. As always, reviews don't lie and ended up having a great lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to walk in without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon without an issue and we were lucky. Pretty sure for future visits, would lock in a reservation to be on the safe side. Upon being seated, a serving of Papadum (Thin & crispy lentil flat bread) was served with tasty accompaniments was the perfect start as we scoured the menu. We started with The Veggie Sampler which was compromised of a Veggie samosa ( Stuffed crispy triangle pastry stufffed with potatoes and peas), Veggie Pakoras (Crisp veggies lightly battered in a chick pea flour and seasoning mix) and a Veggie Tikkis (Lightly breaded veggie cutlets seasoned with herbs and spices, served with mango chutney.) The serving size was decent and realized if we ate everything on the plate than we would be full and would have no room for the main course. The appatizers were delicious and a great way to prepare for lunch. Indian Food is usually always a hit for us due to the large vegertain options that are available to her as well as the non vegetarian options for me. Plenty of great choices to pick from making the decision difficult. I ordered Chicken Vindaloo (Chicken and potatoes in a spicy vindaloo sauce) When ordering, the waiter ensured I was ready for the heat from spice ranking it a 10 of 10. Will admit I love hot foods, and was apprehensive with his warnings but pushed forward. While the food was definitely spicey, not sure if I would rank as a 10 of 10 being some Indian dishes have been insanely hot. All in all, the meal was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter ordered the Paneer Kashmiri (Cheese cubes and veggies in a mild saffron korma sauce) and was thoroughly satisfied. Both entrees were served with Basmati Rice and Dal. While not needed , we also order Garlic Nan which was incredibly delicious. The Nan was even better when dipped in the savory sauces that our meal came in. As you can imagine, there was so much food that we both took some home that made for another meal. Overall, we were both super satisfied and left stuffed. Definitely a great location that we plan to return to. The location was perfect and was a short walk from Stevens. The food quality was good, the service was great, and I found the value to be exceptional for its location.“

“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Great for Indian food aficionados and newbies alike. The price tag comes with an appropriate amount of table side flair, flavor, and food. Hannah and David were absolutely fantastic in all aspects of service. The food was unbelievably good. We’ll definitely be back“

“Best food ever“

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.“

“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!“

“The gentleman that waited on our table was excellent! The food was flavorful and delicious!!“

“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 !“

“INCREDIBLE Indian food experience in New York! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. It was incredible! The server was very sweet and warned that while the Mango Lassi cocktail was delicious it was very sweet, she suggested a Mango Majito instead, which was absolutely DELICIOUS and not overly sweet at all.

The owner Syed came over and introduced himself, he personally thanked me for coming to his restaurant and offered me a free dessert, which was delicious as well.

Absolutely cannot recommend Cloves enough! I am very excited to bring my Indian food loving family in to enjoy!“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“Delicious and inventive food. Everything had a great blend of flavors and textures, where all the ingredients remained distinct and the composition was better than the parts. The crispy lacha paratha was one of the best I've had. The morels korma was excellent. I'll be back to try more.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and the food was well paced, I never felt under pressure to leave.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife, our dog, and I came in for dinner and had an amazing experience from start to finish! The service was exceptional, and the owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind.

We ordered the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, mango lassi, garlic & chili naan vegetable and chicken samosas, gulab jamun, and even received a delicious rice pudding on the house. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, the food was so good that I forgot to take pictures before digging in!

The flavors were incredible, the portions were generous, and every dish was made with care. I walked out feeling like I had gained 10 pounds—but it was worth every bite!

10/10 experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding hospitality. ❤️🍽️ #theyarepetfriendly 🐶“

“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!“

“Great food, great service and value for the money. Great atmosphere“

“Semma in New York City is widely celebrated for its heritage-focused approach, bringing rare and authentic Southern Indian flavors to a stylish, relaxed setting.“

“Came to check out this spot based on the hype from my friends, and our experience was that the food was nice but nothing crazy. Starting off, the service and ambiance were good.
Here is what we ordered:
Fried Fish: Was nothing special. We expected something amazing since it's one of the most expensive appetizers.
Aloo Chaat: This was good.
Chicken Dum Biryani: Very flavorful and our clear favorite of the night.
Dal Makhni with Roti: The dal makhni tasted authentic.
Rose milk was just try too
Overall, it was a nice experience.“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“The food is lip smacking delicious. We have been to many Indian restaurants in NYC and NJ. Hands down this is one of the best. Very authentic indian food.
And the staff is super friendly and attentive. Everyone makes you feel welcome! Definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for an upcale, delicious yet pocket friendly food!“

“I had the most amazing experience at Passarine! It’s a must-go. The modern take on Indian is incredibly creative and everything we had was outstanding. Decor is beautiful- from wallpaper to dishes-every detail feels very thoughtfully designed. The private room is especially stunning… and spacious yet very intimate! Standouts were the shrimp koliwada, crispy cauliflower, aloo dumplings and the chicken saagwala…all delicious. And you MUST save room for the Passarine Ice Cream sandwich! The service was terrific too. All around it was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Veeray da Dhaba. The food was packed with authentic Punjabi flavors and tasted just like a home-cooked meal. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the biryani was perfectly seasoned, and the naan was fresh and soft. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive and friendly. A fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious North Indian cuisine in NYC.“

“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.“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“This is an incredible restaurant with amazing food, great service and welcoming ambiance. I had heard about it from my son and niece who live in NYC but I made it a point to go there while visiting from Chicago. I was so impressed during my first visit (by myself) that I went back within a month with my son and niece! Almost everything I had were incredible. The SPDP, wada pav, rava fry were to die for and same with the Ghaati (or gavraan?) chicken was very tasty as well. The two minor things to note are - the Paav (bread) I ordered the first time was okay (too dry or stale) but second time I had chapati and it was great. Secondly the Ghati chicken has some pieces that not everyone will enjoy or like the consistency of - it’s either the liver or the brain and my son wasn’t fond of it. Lastly it’s a cosy restaurant so you also get to strike up a conversation with Soham (chef) or his wife Aarti - especially around closing time. Can’t wait to go there again! Keep up the great work.“

“From the outside, one might think this a food hall of sorts. Its definitely more of a hub for food delivery services. There were countless pickup orders and, including us, 2 other tables that came to sit and eat. The atmosphere has grande ceilings with floor to ceiling windows with bar seating running along and maybe 8 tables. There are hard-copy menus and touchscreen stations to order but the choices are countless; resulting in a time consuming firt-timer experience. There's 1 kitchen that pumps out separate restaurant menu items. The food was ok. I got a Mexican-style chicken bowl that was crossed with another restaurants curry chicken; bites here and there were different. My husband got an Asian-style chicken fried rice bowl that came out cold. 2nd attempt was saturated in sesame oil and inedible. We didn't realize it at the time but Amex Gold got rid of Goldbelly, replaced by Wonder; big mistake in our opinion as Goldbelly is worldwide and Wonder is limited to big-city access for a lesser quality product.“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“The food and service were both excellent. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The samosas were delicious, the sauces were great, and the coconut chicken with coconut naan was especially amazing. Really glad I stopped in and supported this place.“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Finally visited Bungalow today after almost a year in waiting. It was one of the best dining experiences , we ever had. The food and the drinks along with their service was amazing. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Vikas Khanna himself brought their complimentary signature orange mousse, which was more than delicious. Seeing him interact with every single guest in the restaurant was so heart warming. A really humble and friendly person. Wishing him and his team all the very 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.“

“It was an extremely rainy day and we walked in without a reservation. Major props to the main guy who gave us a table despite the extremely busy Saturday night.

Food was average though -

Mocktails were great!“

“Musaafer was an absolute gem and easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in NYC! We came in with high expectations and left completely blown away.
We ordered the shrimp toast, lychee ceviche, the butter chicken experience, and the Chilean sea bass Malwani style — every single dish was outstanding. The butter chicken experience is unlike anything you’ve had before, and the Malwani sea bass was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. The lychee ceviche was such a creative, refreshing start.
But the star of the evening? The saffron drink. Absolutely out of this world — we’re still thinking about it!
The decor is stunning, the service was warm and attentive, and the whole evening felt special from start to finish. If you’re looking for elevated Indian dining in NYC, Musaafer is the one. Don’t think twice — just book it!“

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

“One of the best restaurant I have ever tried in the NYC, really enjoyed the food there. We tried chicken tikka, chicken chettinad curry, naan everything, especially the chicken biryani. I had original Hyderabadi chicken biryani taste here, loved it! Also, the price was very reasonable, not much expensive. Must try if you’re traveling to NYC and want to eat Indian dishes.“

“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.“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“Had dinner here with a friend and really enjoyed the meal. Saag Panner and chicken Korma were especially terrific. We ordered on appetizer that wasn’t what we expected and the owner and the chef came over and explained the dish and suggested an alternative which they gladly swapped out. Service was terrific. Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“I had the Giant TIKKA MASALA CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK and it was absolutely delicious! Every bite had a great combination of flavors that blended perfectly together. It had just the right amount of spice—flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. When I tell you it's fire meaning it tastes amazing trust me you won't regret it!

I also want to recognize Ankit for the outstanding customer service. He was very patient while taking my order over the phone, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience pleasant. He was genuinely kind, caring, and professional. Great food paired with excellent customer service is what keeps customers coming back. I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!“
