32 Best Indian Restaurants in Jersey City

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

“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience“

“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.“

“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world“

“The Hot & Sour Veg Soup is a delightful start to the meal. Just the right amount of spice and tang. A bowl full of warmth!“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.

What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.

If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!“

“Definitely worth standing in the pouring rain for. I ordered the chicken curry rice platter and also tried the chicken tikka katti roll that was recommended. Everything was packed with so much flavor. Chicken tikka katti roll was my favorite. Highly recommend.“

“Healthy 👌 🥘 Experience chefs Good Staffs“

“Great tasting biryani and chicken pakodi!“

“If the owners or chef of Bricklane is reading this— to your chicken tikka masala, add one heaped teaspoon of coriander powder, dried mango powder, Kashmiri red chilly powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. And salt your curry 10% more than you do. Your curry will not taste hollow, like it lacks a backbone. Stop holding back on the powdered spices and thank me later.“

“Best Swaminayaran Vada Pav.“

“Food was so delicious today we ordered catering and we really loved the food of Amiya Thanks to all the chef and staff members!! Keep it up guys!!“

“I’ve ordered a few times from Ujala and the food is delicious. Bone in chicken biryani, chicken tikka, naan, palak goat, etc. all delicious. Great flavor! Portions are a bit smaller than I’d like, considering the pricing, but it’s worth it!“

“great menu that doesn't overlap with Prime or any other Indian places in the area. You can spend as much or as little as you want in there, as opposed to being forced to commit to a huge bill for one dish, which is rare and appreciated, and you can go for fried goodness OR a veg sandwich... everything's delicious. Same group and menu from Nandoo's in JSQ that still has lines out the door to this day... extremely welcome addition to Hamilton Park.“

“સારા સ્વભાવની વ્યક્તિ એવી વ્યક્તિ છે જે મૈત્રીપૂર્ણ, આવકારદાયક અને આનંદદાયક હોય છે અને જે અન્ય લોકોને ખુશ અને આરામદાયક અનુભવે છે. ઉત્તમ ટિફિન સેવાઓ.+ સંપૂર્ણ શાકાહારી“

Had a great time at Little India in the mall, thanks to Faisal. He was welcoming, patient while explaining the dishes, and gave really thoughtful recommendations. The service felt genuine and attentive, which made the meal so much better. Definitely ask for Faisal when you visit—he’ll take great care of you!“

“After coming to this place, I've realized I've never had authentic Indian food before Bengali Sweets. This place is amazing! The prices are great, the service is good, the music is chill. If you're vegetarian come here! If you're a meat guy then it's time to take a break and eat at Bengali Sweets! The food is spicy, savory, and everything you need. When I tell you I ate everything, I mean everything--I left the plate shinier than before.“

“This is a must have in New Jersey. The wings ,chicken curry, rice and Naan was delicious. see you next time“

“Tried the Masala Dosa here, and it was honestly amazing! The dosa was crispy and flavorful, and the potato filling tasted just like the authentic ones back in India. Both chutneys, the coconut and the orange garlic chutneys were really good, and the sambar was so tasty that you could enjoy it on its own.

I went in the morning, so it wasn’t crowded, but usually, this place gets pretty busy, and parking can be tricky during lunch or dinner. Overall, great taste and a perfect spot for real South Indian dosa lovers!“

“Super yummy! Nice service to the customers❤️“

“Five before some guy who manages the restaurant was making really bad food. Since 5 months I am eating food from here and I love the biriyani and all Indian food because New management is now running the restaurant and she cooks awesome food. I would highly recommend anybody to try Daniel KTR Biryani and curry. I love it and is waiting for have the goat curry and biriyani especially.“

“Had a great dinner at Hyderabad House – JC. We ordered Goat dum Biryani, Chicken 65, and Haleem, and everything was amazing. The Chicken Biryani was flavorful with authentic Hyderabadi taste, the Chicken 65 was crispy and spicy, and the Haleem was rich, thick, and delicious. The food quality and taste were excellent. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Hyderabadi food. Make sure to take some to-go—you’ll definitely want more! 😋🍗🍚“

“This is a must try food truck in jersey city . They are providing an authentic traditional Indian food at very low price . My favorite food in the food truck is chicken combo after tasting it it’s give me memories of my granny cooking style .“

“Delicious vegetarian Indian bites!“

“Based on the taste it's not recommended otherwise the location, Customer service and ambiance is good!!!“

“I ordered masala idly and podi idly. I can't express how good those were and filling. Idlis were soft and sambhar was also good. Last we finished up ordering filter coffee which was also not bad. Everything feels like fresh. During my visit we are the only customer but I can see they are making fresh so obviously taking time to serve food.“
