50 Best Indian Restaurants near North Arlington

“In the mood for Indian food we saw that Kamal Palace had really good reviews. All in, it was worth the trip.The food was not great but it was good. The samosas were a tad oily and the curries were not as flavorful as I would have hoped.However, the service was great and the price can’t be beat. Seriously, we ordered two apps, two dinner plates, and two orders of naan and it came to about $50!“

“Amazing Indian food in a relaxing and chic setting. Great price for a Michelin star restaurant and service is fantastic. My favorites were the dosa and the mung beans. The squash kurma was a bit bland compared to the other dishes. The cocktails were also incredible.“

“Truly one of the best flavorful biryani I’ve had in a long time! One of my friends had suggested this place, because I’d been craving an authentic biryani for so long…my years spent in Karachi, Pakistan where I’d been addicted to the aromas and the infused spices of biryani, I’d been craving for that taste…Being in NYC, I’d visited so many outlets, but couldn’t get that taste…upon my friend’s recommendation, I came to this place…what a hidden gem! Bhavaani, my attendant was truly knowledgeable about the different types of biryanis. She was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in providing professionalism and outstanding customer service! I ordered the ‘Rishta Lamb Biryani’ which indeed was bursting with so many flavors, and the spices were just perfect…I also enjoyed very much the nice glass of Chardonnay wine, which was a great touch with my meal!!!??All in all, it was such a memorable experience for me, and I will definitely recommend this amazing gem to all my family and friends…❤️❤️❤️“

“Tamarind Tribeca provided an exceptional dining experience. We started with the flavorful Lasuni Gobhi and Tandoori Mixed Grill, both of which were delicious and well-prepared. The Lasuni Gobhi and Dal Makhani (from the Mixed grill) was a standout, bursting with garlic and spice. For drinks, the Mango Cosmo was a refreshing choice, perfectly balanced and complementing the meal.Moving on to the main course, the Paneer Pasanda and Murgh Kohlapuri were good but not outstanding (maybe we expected more from a Michelin star). The paneer was rich and creamy, while the Murgh Kohlapuri was spicy and flavorful, showcasing Indian flavours. The Cucumber Raita, Lacha Parantha and Garlic Naan were exceptional - soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked.Our server, Siddharth, provided excellent service, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable, ideal for a special meal or celebration.Overall, Tamarind Tribeca met our expectations with its delicious food, great cocktails, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an upscale Indian dining experience in Tribeca.“

“It's not easy to find Goan food, so this was more than a pleasant surprise. Beautifully balanced flavors and seasonings. Highly recommend the coconut shrimp appetizer as well as the jackfruit biryani. Might be too spicy for some, especially children. Attentive staff, and nice atmosphere.“

“If you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of substandard pav bhaji and vada pav at every Indian restaurant, then behold - this is the greatest pav bhaji you’ll find in the state.First up - they have the pav that is the closest to what you can get in Maharashtra. Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.“

“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“

“Fantastic home made food. By far the best authentic food I have had . Absolutely phenomenal. The food was not too oily, had freshness and depth in flavor and was delivered to the table with a smile, this indeed felt like homemade food. Amazing work! I will be back again and again.“

“The restaurant was slightly off the tourist truck, but it was busy with people. The service is friendly but very slow compared to New York's ways of service. The place is simple inside, with nothing to brag about, but the food explodes with flavors. I ordered Vindaloo, which is a lamb dish, and it is so spicy and garlic naan break. The dish was delicious, and eat every bit of it. The sauce was so good i used naan to finish it off. I want to return and order more, but this time, i will ask for the authentic level of spice.“

“The service at this restaurant was great! We visited on a weekday night and easily found a parking spot right outside. When we walked in, we were given the option to choose our own table and the staff kindly dimmed the bright lights for a more comfortable atmosphere. Although only two visible workers on duty, they were incredibly kind and patient, despite our longer waiting time for food. Here are some examples of their exceptional service:- Our waiter waited patiently while we took our time to order and even explained the menu to us since we were not familiar with Indian cuisine.- When my dad accidentally spilled water on the floor, a waiter immediately came to clean it up.- The staff checked on us regularly and provided us with clean dishes and utensils after each course/meal.(Also there was a free refill for the rice)Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant and would definitely recommend it to others.Dietary restrictions: My sister is gluten free, soy free, dairy free (she can eat yogurt though but she can't have cow's milk), can't have beef, can't have lentils, can't really have fruit, can't have msg, and some other stuff due to an immunity gut cleanse diet thing. This restaurant was able to accommodate her dietary restrictions nicely and she was able to enjoy her meals without worry.“

“Wow, this was one of the best meals I've ever had. Every dish was perfectly cooked, seasoned and presented. The flavors were subtle and delicate and each bite was exquisite, you could tell the chefs cared deeply about their food. I am blown away.“

“Whoa. Did not expect the quality of this place. Everything was super neat and organized. Staff friendly and accommodating, small place but good food and service. Recommended chicken 65, easily one of the best in NYC. Their curries are also good. Give it a try. Expensive as it is in such a busy area, but worth it!“

“Best Birayani & more is your go-to spot for mouthwatering biryani. Their aromatic biryani, whether chicken or lamb, is a must-try. But it's not just about biryani—the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala are equally delicious. With generous portions and friendly service, Best Birayani & more is your ticket to a flavor-packed Indian feast.“

“First time visiting this restaurant and it was great! The owner is a very pleasant, hospitable and a kind guy. Went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Food was very good and the owner, as mentioned, was very accommodating.W restaurant; would go again.“

“So delicious, tasty and flavorful foods. Warm and welcoming environment! The sit down experience is very nice and I like that they offer sparkling water to drink instead of bottled water or tap! Service is very attentive to your needs and they make sure you get refills on your drinks. Can't wait to go back again!“

“Fluffies offers fresh and delicious high qualitychicken. The service is fast and friendly. I love the crisp of the signature sandwich! The place was super busy on a Friday night but the staff were friendly and fast service. The dining room needs more attention. Highly recommend trying it.“

“My favourite home town food which is he is serving in the week 4 to 5 days. We really love the food here & drum sticks are must try & samosas are really big size . We can’t imagine in Washington square park NY he is serving dosa in this price! Also vegans,pure vegetarian foods THANK YOU so much mr. Chef THIRU annan . we love you’re food & your hospitality keep rocking ???“

“Saw this place in social media and I knew I had to try it, so I did and it did not let me down. The concept is a blend between mexico and India but the food if absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended to try! They have two locations, one in Hells Kitchen and another in Greenwich Village.“

“We always get seated immediately and the server, Christopher, has always shown us kindness. Christopher's warmth and hospitality always make dining here a memorable experience. Christopher's genuine care and attention to detail elevate the dining experience, as he always remembers our orders. Every visit to this restaurant feels like coming home.“

“The chicken tikka masala and the naan feels authentic and is just a comforting but binge worthy meal to have. Their tandoori chicken wings are quite good as well. The naan tacos are better than the roti tacos cuz the rotis just disintegrate when you add all the toppings. Love all their chutneys as well!“

“I always saw this restaurant walking or driving by and always wanted to go in For apps we got the jalapeno samosa and they were amazing. We also tried the cauliflower bites and this spinach chaat which were amazing. We also got the achari chicken as an app and with the chutneys it was probably the best thing on the menu. For main course we got a butter chicken and a paneer tikka masala and were solid options. Service was good. Everyone was attentive. Kinda small place but loved the decor and the mural on the wall.“

“Met work colleagues for dinner here. The restaurant felt warm and cozy. The service was good; The food was even better. We had a different array of appetizers (tandoori chicken, vegetable samosas, chicken samosas, crispy okra, masala shrimp cocktail, and paani puri), followed by our main courses which were exceptional as well ( butter chicken, chicken biryani, string beans, chicken curry). Don't skip on dessert; the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. It was a night of full bellies and laughter. Will be definitely be coming back and adding it to my rolodex of restaurants.“

“Swadist is hands down one of the finest Indian dining experiences we have had in NewJersey City I say that having eaten at plenty of Indian restaurants in NY and NJ. We were a large group that tried many appetizers and entrees and not a single dish disappointed - every bite was amazing. The owners have not overlooked a single detail in not only the menu, but also the elegant decor. If you are looking for authentic Indian food with a modern feel, you will not be disappointed!“

“Got the chicken over rice here and wasn't expecting much but was surprised by the value and taste. The serving was more than enough for two people and the taste was good. He even put in extra sauce and salad for us. No nonsense and definitely would recommend this food truck if you're looking for halal food in SoHo.“

“Delicious, quality product at a mid-range price.It would be extraordinary value if rice or Naan were included, not the case here, but it is also a pretty standard way that many Indian restos charge up for their food.Having said that, the food will not disappoint and this location is a quaint little spot.Vegetarian options: On this occasion I ordered palak shorba soup, chana masala and rice.“

“Very delicious food! We tried a lot of different dishes including vegan options & totally enjoyed it. The customer service was very amazing. The staff made sure all the food was good & even checked in to make sure the food wasn't too spicy for one of my friends. So sweet! Definitely coming back!“

“Small space with big flavor! Ironically enough it is next door to a chipotle and has the same selection process, but with more unique and tasty food options in my opinion. I'd recommend the sweet mango chutney, mango lassi, falafel, naan (which came fresh out of the oven) and honestly anything else. The service is straightforward and the wait wasn't long while I was there! Overall !“

“I recently visited Goa and had a fantastic dining experience. From the start, I was impressed by the stylish and modern ambiance of the restaurant. The staff (Andres, Jane) were extremely friendly and attentive, and our server (Christian) was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations tailored to our dietary restrictions. To start off our meal, we had the Chorizo Chili Fry, which was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The Lamb Bao was also a standout dish, with wonderfully marinated lamb and pickled red onion that provided a perfect balance of texture and flavor. The dish that stole the show, however, was the Charcoal Butter Chicken, with a side of the Red Chili, Garlic and Coriander Naan. The Chef's take on this classic dish was truly exquisite -- the best I've ever had in NYC -- and will always keep me coming back for more. Overall, I highly recommend Goa. The food was outstanding, and the whole experience was top-notch. The service was excellent, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our meal. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings.“

“The food was excellent and also the service!! We got the mussels which were in a delicious sauce, of course the Crunchy cauliflower AMAZING, shrimp curry naan bread and rice was super delicious too !! Biryani and the short ribs also were really tasty!And great selection of wines and drinks ? !! The place was beautiful and clean, This became one of my favorite spots for anytime in the city!!“

“The Chana Puri here was delicious; they serve a big bowl of chana with three puris, pickle, chopped onion, and a gulab jamun as a dessert. The ambiance was quite good, and the hygiene standards were maintained. If you're looking for Indian food near Lower Manhattan, this place comes highly recommended. Must-tries include Chana Puri (also known as Chole Bhature), Pav Bhavji, and Dosas.“

“Ordered takeout:Chicken Biryani4/5. The marinade on the chicken was incredible. Perfectly seasoned and chicken also so tender, well cooked, and well-portioned. The chicken component itself deserves a 5/5. The rice however, also good, but personally, I like when the marinade has merged uniformly, or when the rice has been evenly coated with the saffron water/turmeric or whatever flavor and color blend is used. The rice was also on the greasier side. Therefore for personal preference reasons, the rice was a 3/5 for. The chicken was the star indeed, and the spice level was also magnificent. Hence a 4/5.To note, two other people whose opinions I tryst give the biryani an overall 5/5. So it's still pretty good to say the least.Chicken 65This was a 5/5 dish. Good portion, well-spiced, and very aromatic. Chicken 65 done well. Fabulous.Overall, the flavors presented were great, portions were brilliant, and I'm excited to try other things from here!“

“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“

“Indulging in a feast fit for royalty, I discovered an Indian restaurant that delivered beyond imagination. The butter chicken and garlic naan were the stars of the show, tantalizing my taste buds with their impeccable flavors. What's more, the generous portions and affordable prices make it a dining destination that's hard to beat.“

“We liked food and cleanliness. Owner was very friendly and helpful with menu items and other staff was friendly too.We didn't enjoy the sweet we tried some apricot dish but, it was not suggested by the owner. We should have chosen one of his suggestions.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options are there. We liked Paneer Tikka and Gobi Manchurian.Parking: Street parking is available. Not very sure about other parking options.“

“Tried this restaurant in Wayne. Food was delicious and amazing. Kids loved Veg pakoda, panner tikka in appetizer. Chicken malai tikka was the best I ever ate. You can't skip Dal Makhani and Shahi paneer. Lamb kadai was freshly cooked and perfectly spiced. Loved their mango Lassi, Faluda ice cream. Oh, kids also Hakka Noodles. I didn't know, but they also have a dine-in option now.“

“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan. I also love the Mango Lassi and the Masala Chai. Everything is fresh and the service is exceptional. Bengal Spice will always have a special place in my heart for quality comfort food!Vegetarian options: The menu is labeled clearly.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant has made necessary changes if needed to my order to accommodate my dietary needs.Parking: There’s a free parking lot in the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here with their families.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheel-chair accessible.“

Loved the food as well, chicken jalapeño and green peas kulchas, pani puri, butter chicken, and malai paneer pinwheel. Definitely would come back again without hesitation.“

“One of the best Indian restaurants around! The food is hot and delicious, the service is amazing, they made me feel comfortable, I felt very homely. 100% Bengaluru Vibe. Love it! This is the go-to place if you're looking for great Indian food!“

“Heard so much about Rowdy Rooster and finally made it here. We came on a weekday for dinner and it wasn't too crowded, we were able to grab a seat. There are also standing room for a quick bite as well. The place was so adorable! Everything was so colorful and the walls and even the ceiling was decorated with colorful roosters. Our cashier was really helpful in helping us decide what to get bc it's our first time here. She said the thigh meat was better in the sandwich and indeed it was one of the best chickens I have ever had. It was so crispy but so tender on the inside. Loved the sandwiches so much bc it was full of Indian spices too! The mango lassi was amazing, definitely comparable to any sit-down Indian restaurant. We also had a hard time deciding what sauce to get and she gave us a complimentary sauce in addition to the one we bought, so we got to try both sesame yogurt and mint chutney, which were both delicious! I wish this place was closer to where we live, I would totally get take out here all the time!“

“Excellent flavors and authentic level of spice. We got the curry chicken, biryani, and potato samosas. When we went it was just one chef in the kitchen who also takes the order.With that long of a line he never exuded anything but calm. Respect to this master !“

“Thankful for having an Indian place in Chelsea market. Definitely has a nice look with some cool Indian decor, but the food was mediocre. I ordered a biryani and while the spice/aroma balance was good, the taste was not. This may be an unfair comparison, given we just had biryanis (both Veg and Chicken).Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options, both starters and mainsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible by wheelchair“

“I had a wonderful experience in ARoqa.It’s just beyond my expectations. The food was delicious I ordered goat keema matar with garlic naan and spicy passion mocktail. All are super tasty. And ninad who is working there helped me to decide my menu. He was very quick in taking my orders till the delivery on my table.And time to time he is keep asking how’s the food and do I need anything else. Such a wonderful service and cocktails and mocktails.“

“We visited this restaurant once and now we always order from there.They deliver on time.Our favourite is kaju masala(highly recommended).fried momos,kali mirch paneer .Food is delicious ?.Vegetarian options: Good quality vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The environment and sitting is kid friendly.“

“WE LOVE!!! this place. It’s absolutely incredible. The food here is the most authentic Indian food I’ve had in the country with the most options and best flavours. The service is incredible as well. Their Chaat, drinks and makhani is amazing. Literally don’t go anywhere else if you want Indian food“

“First time trying vada pav and samosa pav. The pav/bread was so soft and buttery. In one bite, you experience the softness of the bread, the crunchiness of the samosa skin, and the smoothness of the spiced potato filling. The bread was spread with cilantro chutney and chili powder, adding an extra layer of freshness and heat.Paneer tikka roll. Perfect for snacking or a quick lunch! The grilled paneer cheese was milky and creamy!Lamb korma box. The korma was rich and nutty. The lamb was so tender it yielded to a fork’s touch. A whole box contains one main entree, yellow dal, rice, paratha, onion salad... so filling!Chicken biryani. The chicken was juicy, and the whole dish was really well-spiced. Fiery, savory, tangy, sweet... very addictive.Mango lassi. Creamy, silky, and rich in mango flavor. A good companion to spicy Indian food!“
