42 Best Indian Restaurants near Paterson

“This is the first time we have visited Bornali Cafe. The restaurant seemed very clean and the food tasted great. We tried polao, various Bangladeshi meat dishes, shrimp, parathas, singaras and shrimp. They all tasted pretty authentic. Their vortas seemed pretty good too. In addition, the service was fast. I would rate it 4.8 out of 5. If you are looking for authentic Bangladeshi food, come here. You won't regret. Highly recommended!“

“Wonderful food! I didn't go to the restaurant because I had it delivered so I didn't experience the service or atmosphere. I ordered the Chicken 65 and my buddy ordered the Butter Chicken. Both were fantastic! I really wish I had known about this place sooner! Will be ordering from them again!“

“Best mix platers in town“

“Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Food is excellent. Reminds me of Bangladesh town in the Bronx. Vegetable samosa (singhara) needs some salt. Chicken patty (puff) needs more filling (hardly 2 small pieces of chicken in them. Chicken biryani was delicious. Tandoori chicken was good as well. None of them were served with condiments (sad). The best of all is the Chai, it was spot on.

Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Upon arrival the cashier didn't greet or welcome, however, the server was welcoming. The server was able to speak in English and Hindi which was nice. He was patient and answered all the questions. On purpose I asked the server to pack different things randomly to see his service and he was impeccable. Good customer service.

Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The restaurant is in a sketchy area, not the best of places, however, the restaurant/bakery captured the essence of the area and brought beauty to it. The ambience is very south Asian and reads the area well. Music and clearly labeled menu items with prices would help.“

“This was my second visit to Paheli. It was even better than the first And it was excellent the first the first time. Highly recommended.“

“I remember when this location was actually a cuban sandwich joint, then a pizza place that had nice pizza, then it became Spicy Bytes, my girlfriend and I were always so curious about this place but due to the odd weekday hours we never were able to tell if they were open. It was one day a week or two ago that I was walking around with my girlfriend where she suggested we try this place out since we noticed it was opened! Upon entering a young woman welcomed us warmly and showed us the menu, and took a seat. We ordered a Butter Chicken Curry to share and two orders of garlic naan bread, and got the curry at a medium spice level since my girlfriend can't handle spicy stuff at all, and she ADORED IT!

Upon taking her first bite of the butter chicken my girlfriends eyes lit up and widened, it was also her first time trying Indian food so I could tell she was very much hooked. We enjoyed our meal and were asked by the young lady if we needed anything else through out our meal, which I really appreciated. After eating we were both very satisfied and definitely plan on coming back for more. I am surprised they haven't done much with the interior since the last place since it still very much feels like the previous pizza place, but it honestly didn't bother me as this places food is something you should not miss :)“

“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.“

“Off course there is food is very awesome they are way of carrying the people very different its never forgetteble moment its always memorable chef James I’ll recommend my friends and relatives we hope we will meet very soon thanks to everyone again ...“

“Absolutely amazing. They're a family owned restaurant so I understand its hard with these times and coronavirus. Its hard to find good Indian food and I must say, I've been coming here for more than 20 years and I still will be coming more and more! Out of all the restaurants in parsippany & Rt 46, I specially come down to Wayne to eat this amazing food. my fav is the sag panir, malai kofta, and vegetable biryani. I love the one waitress and how she explained the spice levels according to chiptole and taco bell! the uncle who is the owner always greets everyone like hes known them for years. Like we are family, its heart warming since i dont live with my family. Amazing food, amazing people and amazing prices!“

Robert, Richard, I appreciate your recommendations, and Mimi, thank you as well. Your delivery guy really pushed how delicious it was. Your food is, and I'm glad I tried it.

“Great food and services ✌️✌️“

“The food is amazing here, and portions are big!
Be prepared for a long wait time, my two coworkers and I came here for lunch today and we had to wait 45 minutes to receive our entrees.

It was worth it, and we will be back again!“

“Garlic naan and makhani.“

“One of my fantastic experiences at an Indian restaurant. Great service, great food, great ambience, great price. Staring with the complimentary pappadums, fryums and chutney to fantastic goat cheese vadas and samosas for appetizers to entrees and 4 gulag jamuns for dessert - everything was fantastic. One of the few restaurants where they serve enough food that you don't think twice if the food was enough, and you are pleasantly surprised with the check. Great Value for Money.“

“The Best Food and Service 👍👍👍👍“

“In my experience, this is the best Indian restaurant hands-down journal Square. I recently moved to Harrison and I will still come to journal Square to get Indian food from here. I don’t know what it is but their chicken is the best almost every dish is just amazing. I haven’t tried every dish, so can’t really comment on every single one, but I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve dined in and have taken out. The quality is so good here I swear lol“

“Everything was divinely delicious! I highly recommend both the crab and spinach with goat cheese appetizers! The seasoning on the entress was amazing, you can taste every spice! Truly delicious is an understatement! As for dessert, I can't recall what the exact name is but it's a lentil based pudding and omg, pure heaven! The service, the atmosphere, the people, the place, the music, the cleanliness.....I absolutely loved it all! I adore this place! Can't wait to go back, every blessing for the new year guys! This place is top notch, and as a Greek who grew up in the restaurants (and is def a food snob) that's a huge compliment! I wouldn't just say that about any place, you guys sincerely deserve it! Bravo 🧿“

“Good food . Really enjoyable“

“Very good customer service, and the workers was very attentive and professional and the food was really excellent thanks you so much and definitely I’m going to come back again thanks“

“I just ordered the Lamb Biryani and it was phenomenal!!!!! The lamb was super tender and the rice very aromatic, and spicy as I asked for it be. The restaurant was very clean, always a good thing, and the people were super helpful and polite. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a fantastic experience!“

“The food was AMAZING❗I had no idea that they would send so much food. Very well worth the money.“

“Delicious food, good service, friendly owners. Love going there... 💖“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“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“

“Awesome food very tasty and the main thing is malai cofta with white gravy love it Becz in 7 yrs never eat white gravy in usa then I saw that menu and I oder same taste like mumbai malai cofta thank you Bombay wala now I can’t miss my Bombay and my mumbai street food sandwiches..love it highly recommended to my friends“

“I love this place, food is so good, I like seekh kabab, my wife she likes Pakoda kadhi, their aloo paratha, goat karahi, chicken karahi is so good, what i like is that they make fresh kabab as you order, not pre cooked kababs. and those two girls working there I don't know their names are so efficient, always smiling and very attentive. Thank you guys for being awesome.“

“The quantity is quite large. Each parathas can be shared with 2 or 3 folks. We had their Aloo , halwa puri and omlete paratha for delivery.
The other day, we came across the restuarant on main street, surprised that it wasn't just a nook in the corner but very decent restuarant.“

“I usually go to Dosa and Biryani House for their idlis, vadas, dosas and biryanis. They're all fantastic, however, today I'm reviewing a meal via take-out (UberEats).

In my pictures, you can see all of the following highly recommendable dishes:

- Samosa Chat
- Butter Chicken
- Goa Fish Curry
- Goat Bhuna
- Aloo Paratha
- Butter Naan
- lime pickles and raita

All of them were neatly packed up and delicious. A take-out order from Dosa and Biryani House is just as good as eating in. I definitely recommend visiting for an authentic Indian meal!“

“Great venue for Live Music! We love playing there.“
