50 Best Indian Restaurants near Secaucus

“Garlic naan and makhani.“

“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“

“Best food ever“

“LORE in Brooklyn is an absolute gem that deserves all the praise it gets—and then some! Every visit feels like a masterclass in hospitality, thanks to Jay, whose impeccable attention to detail and warm, welcoming nature make you feel like a cherished guest every time. The team's thoughtful touches extend beyond the food, creating a welcoming space for everyone, including four-legged friends in the outdoor seating area.

We've been fortunate enough to dine here on several occasions, and LORE never ceases to amaze. Every dish showcases an inspired balance of flavors and textures. The Kimchi Uttapam is a standout, blending vibrant spices and tangy, fermented flavors into a dish that’s as comforting as it is innovative.The Biscuits & Gravy with mushroom coconut ragout, chili crisp, and a perfectly fried egg is divine—comfort food elevated.

The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, making it the perfect spot for a special afternoon out or a casual gathering with friends. The team’s passion for what they do shines through in every aspect, from the creative menu to the exceptional service.

LORE is easily one of our favorite spots in Brooklyn, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, do yourself a favor and make a reservation—you’ll be blown away!“

“Amazing food, super flavorful and very light feeling where you don’t feel gross after eating. Service was great shoutout to Rakesh, very kind and fast server. And the fact that it is HALAL on top it, incredible. I go to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is one of best places I’ve been to.“

“The best Indian food I’ve ever had in my life. I have brought my whole crew of friends and family, and each one of them can’t stop talking about this place. The food is beyond flavorful and has gorgeous presentation. I would come back here in a heartbeat, always and forever.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“We love dining or getting takeout from Indian Kitchen. All of the vegetarian and meat based dishes are exceptional. Everything tastes fresh and high quality. When dining in, the service is always superb. They give great recommendations and sometimes a free rice pudding :)“

“It’s good mainly because it’s hard to get authentic bengali dishes in Nyc. They really need to tone down the heat level on certain dishes like the Phuchka and Chilli Chicken. If we speak about authenticity, most Calcutta restaurants do let you tone down the heat….even roadside Phuchka sellers.

The parantha was dry and hard. Everything else was as close to the authentic flavor as you can get outside Kolkata.“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“We were in the city for 3 nights. I made reservations for the second and third nights. Left night one open. I found Saar online, it was less than a block from our hotel so we figured we'd give them a try. So glad we did. Nice place. Great, friendly service (Karim is the man!), and excellent food. I ended up cancelling the reservations I made for night 3 and we went back to Saar. Give them a try if you like Indian food. It was amazing!“

“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!!“

“A wonderful place with a creative menu. Very unique flavors. Try as many items as you can as each one is special. We went in a group and we were able to share and taste a variety of items. A very casual chic place, you don’t have dress up 😊. They had some original cocktails, adding a twist to the traditional ones. Definitely must visit. Be aware, you will need to make a reservation well in advance. They are popular and hard to get in.“

“We tried almost all of the small plates and large dishes. They were all hits with my favorite being the pulled lamb. The atmosphere is incredible and the chef stopped by our table multiple times to ensure we were having a stellar experience.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“The best Indian food I’ve ever tasted. I have visited this spot multiple times over the years and it never disappointed. They take pride in their food. It can be a bit pricey but
It’s worth EVERY penny.

The butter chicken and saag paneer are out of this world.“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“What a great restaurant! If you like Indian Food, don’t hesitate to go! The food was AMAZING! They definitely know what they’re doing!!! We’ll be back!! I am adding to this review since I came back a lot sooner than I thought. Here’s what I had and it was amazing. Again, this such a great addition to our restaurant line up in the area. Don’t miss it. It’s great! must try the Atari paneer .“

“This is a nice, smaller Indian restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was very good. The prices were very reasonable, especially for NYC. The meals were good sized portions- we were disappointed that we couldn't take our leftovers back to our hotel because it lacked a fridge and microwave- would've made a great lunch the next day.

We shared Tandoori Chicken, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan- ALL very good. They do not serve alcohol- that was the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. A nice cocktail or beer would have gone along well with the meal. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the food.“

“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“

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

“Do you ever just walk into a place and KNOW it’s going to get a 5 star review!?! Well, Gulab Indian Restaurant was this place. I cannot rave enough about the food, it was just amazing. And oh my God, the prices! Oh my God, the prices are AMAZING. First time in my life fine Indian cuisine was actually affordable. One of my favorite things about this place was the candles, they’re not electric! Lastly, the customer service was top line. The gentlemen working this store were so respectful and helpful. Would come back any day!“

“We had a great time at Junoon, special thanks to Jay, young and team … Food was mind blowing and overall it was great experience…“

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

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

“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).“

“Incredible restaurant and food! Chandu had great service and overall highly recommend!“

“Needed Indian food, this place delivered!! Very authentic. Samosa were delicious. Lamb Vindaloo was on point. Staff made sure the spi e was not going to be too much, and it was perfectly spiced. Chana Masla was very flavorful. Service was great, very helpful, and always on top of it. Boxed up the leftovers for me.

Vegetarian options: Typical Indian vegetarian food.“

“We had a great experience here just a few minutes ago when we were here for lunch. The food was really tasty. The server also took a lot of interest and asked questions about what we liked and suggested tasty entrées that we could order. We had a great time and we would come again. Thank you, Bombay Grill House.“

“Family environment. delicious food and better service. I prefer to order my food in Spice and Grill“

“We dine at the Darbar Grill every time we visit NYC. Friendly service and delicious food - we highly recommend it!“

“I have heard a tremendous amount of positive things about this restaurant. Today I visited with family at lunch time. It has a good atmosphere. The food was delicious and fresh, with perfect timing of serving. I would love to visit this place again!“

“We have gotten take out from here several times and have loved the food. We go here for our Kerala food fix and the flavors are spot on. The food feels homemade and the spices are just right. My personal favorites are the banana leaf fish pollichathu, kerala chicken fry, chicken roast, chicken curry and fish curry with the tapioca. The owners are lovely people too!“

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

“Taste was also really good 😊“

“Friendly service, tasty food with good portions, great prices. I visited twice during my stay in the city. Once I got chana masala and the other time for samosas. Both were great, though the chana did not have much spice. If I lived in the area I'm sure I'd be a frequent visitor.

God bless the Sikhs.“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“The food at Passerine is delicious, though the portions are on the smaller side. The ambiance is truly outstanding—clearly a lot of thought went into creating such a welcoming and stylish space. I used to frequent the previous restaurant in this location, SONA, and I have to say the bartenders there were exceptional. It might be worth considering bringing back some of that talent to elevate the bar experience even further“

“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 :)“

“AMANDEEP SINGH! you are ONE HECK OF A HOST! 5 million stars for this guy! he suggested us the food we should order, literally changed our WHOLE order, and ..... and.... we L O V E D it! he is an amazing host, a whole hearted man, fun to be around, and his food is out of this world. I am glad we came to this restaurant. We are gonna come again. My date night, ended with the best food I had in NY so far. Cheers for the restaurant, and double cheers for Amandeep“

“We were walking by and decided to go in because the space looked beautiful. As soon we walked in, it felt like we stepped in a different dimension because all the outdoor noise got cancelled out (they must gave made it soundproof). We were so well taken care of, immediately got water and EXTREMELY friendly staff! And the food!!! There should be another review dedicated for DELICIOUSNESS of the food!!! Naans were to die for!!! The staff were kind, helpful, friendly and respectful!! They even gave us kheer (rice pudding) at the end on the house ?✨????

All in all, go check them out. It’s unusual to find good Indian/Pakistani restaurants around here ?

Vegetarian options: It’s Indian so there’s more vegetarian options than your typical vegetarian restaurant! And too far too delicious ✨“

“The food here is toooo good I’m obsessed. Everything is delicious, I had the chicken Tikka missala, the butter chicken, cheese naan, mango lassi and rose lassi. Everything I’ve had here has been incredible. The server was also really kind he gave us a sample of dessert and allowed my friend to sample the rose lassi before she bought it. I’ll definitely come back again and again.“

“While in NYC we had a craving for Indian food, and Bombay Chowk was a great choice.

The Indian restaurants we are used to have spiciness scales when ordering, but at Bombay Chowk the food is prepared at set levels of spice.

My wife had the chicken Tikka Masala and it was slightly sweet. Still flavorful and tasty.

I opted for chicken Vindaloo and the server warned me it would be spicy. Thankfully I’m used to spicy Vindaloo and oh boy did it pack a punch. Very flavorful, the sauce was thick and more like a stew than a curry. The chicken was cooked well and not dry.

All in all, it’s a solid option for Indian food in NYC.“

“Really good food, wish I lived closer to eat regularly. I do love my paneer 😍“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“I've been meaning to come by for ages and finally dropped by with a friend for an early Friday dinner recently. We didn't have reservations, but when we got there around 5:45 there were still a handful of tables open (it did fill up quickly shortly thereafter though).

We ordered two main dishes to share - the paneer do pyaza and the dilliwala butter chicken - and also got an order of garlic naan (comes with 4 pieces) on the side. (The curries come with a side of rice as well.)

I really loved the butter chicken - the curry was really savoury and flavourful, and paired so well with the light garlic naan, and the chicken was really tender. I would definitely recommend this dish.

The paneer was also quite yummy - the texture was lovely, each cube not too hard - and the sauce was very full and rich. This might just be my personal taste, but I did feel like there was just too much other stuff going on (peppers, onions, etc.) that the dish felt a little haphazard overall.

We also each got one of the mango lassis, which was really yummy. The mango flavour tasted very fresh and not too sweet, and I liked that the yoghurt didn't feel too heavy or thick to drink.

A very nice meal overall, albeit definitely on the pricier side. That being said, I do think the price point is reasonable for the quality (esp given NYC price standards lol). I'd love to come back with a bigger group so I can try even more of their dishes (esp the appetisers!).“

“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.“
