50 Best Indian Restaurants in Brooklyn

“After having brunch here I will definitely be back for their dinner service.

Definitely worth checking out. Tried the biscuits & gravy, full 2.0, pancakes all were solid renditions of the traditional meal with a twist.

Callout - The French press is a full French press not just a personal sized one“

“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!!“

“Indian Kitchen in Williamsburg is a real neighborhood gem. Living right above it, I can honestly say it’s a huge convenience—and a pleasure. The food is consistently excellent, full of flavor and care, and the service is always warm and attentive. It genuinely feels community-oriented, the kind of place that remembers its regulars and adds to the fabric of the block. I’m lucky to have such a great restaurant just downstairs.“

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

“One of the best meals I’ve had out in a long time. Everything here from the service to the ambience was amazing! For appetizers we had the biyebarir fish fry and the aloo chaat, both were spicy but we found ourselves wanting more. The entrees stepped it up a notch with the prawn malai kari and the kosha mangshu which were 100% worth coming back for. Our server Zaraith was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire meal and the manager Joy was very hospitable. Will be back soon for sure, thank you Unapologetic for the experience!“

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

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

“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.“

“I've tried so much indian food in Bushwick and surrounding areas. Nothing compares to Indika house. Their food is consistently astounding and fresh unlike other indian restaurants in the area. This place is top tier. Please eat here for your own satisfaction!“

“Very good food & friendly staff. Will definitely go back Wish they had a liquor license 🤗✌🏽“

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

“We had a late lunch here today. We used to love getting Indian food in the East Village, but having moved to Brooklyn, we were looking for a great place as our go-to in the neighborhood.

It was amazing!

The food was way beyond our expectations. The service was attentive and friendly. Maybe there weren’t a million chili peppers hanging from the ceiling, but it was nice and quiet and just what we were looking for. Did I mention the food? I ate more than I meant to, and still had leftovers to take home.

We went for lunch, and the value was beyond belief. But I looked at the dinner menu, and the prices weren’t much higher.

If you are in the Bed-Stuy or Crown Heights areas, make this a must. If you love Indian food, you will love Bombay Grill!

Did I mention the food?“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“From Texas With LOVE for DHANIA! I am from TX where South Asian food is in competition to be better. 6 ****** Rating, Why? I am an Expert of Bengali/Indian/Pakistani food due to my involvement to provide bi-weekly food to our congregations of up to 500 members. Our food is mainly Bengali/Indian/Pakistani dishes and some outside items like salads/sweets etc. I mostly cook the main dishes MYSELF. During my visit to NY I dined in few restaurants. I never ate in any NY restaurants before. Dera rest: C+; 3 star Lahore rest: B-; 3.5 star Kababish: C-; 2 star Alibaba Kabab near Bufalo: B+; 4 star Few fast-food restaurants. Now the Main subject DHANIA restaurant, A++; 6 Star Restaurant is Very Clean, Nice atmosphere. Food came in reasonable time. If food comes quickly then thats not good for S. Asian food. Cauliflower was fantastic! Samosas were very good! Chatney awesome. Chicken Tikka was great! Biriyani & butter chicken was Excellent! Naan was fine & soft! Not hard or burned as some other places. Since I ordered catering for my congregation from many restaurants in Houston, I became an expert in S. Asian food. Dhania really surpassed my expectations and surprised me in NY. Wish them the best. Keep serving the best food!“

“We got take out and it was excellent, great Indian flavors, nice portions. I am vegetarian so all of the veggie dishes we have ordered have been delicious. The food is fresh and not oily. Great Indian spice. Highly recommend!
Also Omar and staff are generous kind people.“

“The best authentic Indian food in Brooklyn! Definitely try the butter chicken and lamb shank, you won’t be disappointed. Great service! Thank you Mohammed 👍🏼“

“We absolutely loved the food here! We tried the Aloo Papdi Chaat, Butter Chicken, Matar Paneer, Garlic Naan, and Rice — everything was delicious. They even served complimentary Papadum and Rice Pudding, which was such a nice touch. They The servers were polite, respectful, and very attentive. Overall, a perfect 10/10 experience!“

“everything was phenomenal! standout dishes for me were the biryani & the goan fish curry. the biryani had such a depth of flavor & the raita was the perfect pairing. the goan fish curry had a coconut-y flavor & the texture of the fish was perfect.
a lovely surprise was the gulab jamun at the end - probably the best gulab jamun i’ve ever had! soft & warm & so fresh!

other dishes we got were the chicken tikka masala, bhelpuri & papri chaat, and of course garlic naan. not a single dish disappointed!“

“I just moved to the area and was looking for a classic mattar paneer/naan fix and came across Green Chilli. Portions, price, and flavor were great and the folks running this place were super friendly and definitely go above and beyond in providing great service. Take it from someone who has ordered the same things from dozens of restaurants across the country, Green Chilli won't disappoint!“

“Perfect little neighborhood spot. PRICING BREAKDOWN AT BOTTOM REVIEW.

Good vibe, quiet, could happily talk to my friends, owner was super friendly and accommodating. Most def will be back, especially with the temps coming down.

Most plates are $16 (December 2025)
Chicken Tandoori was grilled perfectly with that classic sear. Meat was tender and perfectly cooked.

Chicken Tikka Masala and Vindaloo were also so delicious. Personally, if I came back I would get Chicken Vindaloo, but I prefer spice. This will definitely have you blowing your nose.

Garlic naan was so light, could have had a whole basket to myself.

Samosas, easily could have 12 by myself, no joke.

PRICING: Came with 3 friends, we did family for every dish mentioned that owner so generously threw in a huge bowl of rice to split, WITH TIP , total came out to $90.

1x Tandoori
1x Tikka Masala
1x Vindaloo
2x Garlic Naan
1.5x Samosa (owner a la carted since typical order comes with two so he just charged us for 1.5 since it was 3 of us)
1x water for the table“

“really great food, along with service. will definitely recommend 👌 to others.“

“I came here on the 6th of February. I was greeted by Basudeb. The restaurant was so beautiful. He was kind and helped me pick from the menu. I was the only one there. I ordered from the lunch special. I got Butter Chicken with basmati rice, onion kulcha naan, and lentil soup (Chana masala). Everything was delicious and spicy. Not too spicy but the kick was amazing. The bread was fresh and hot. The chicken was very tender and savory. The rice was not too mushy or dry. I paid $17 for everything and it was worth it. A 10/10😍“

“We visited Pangat for popup thali for lunch and dining here felt like being welcomed into an intimate community feast, just like the traditional Pangat gatherings in India. The host brought everyone together in a warm, thoughtful, and truly authentic way.
The food was absolutely amazing—rich flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and dishes that tasted like they came straight from a home kitchen. We ordered Goat and Fish thalis while our kids had Chicken and Vegetarian thali. I highly recommend their goat and fish thalis.
The vibe was equally impressive: cozy, inviting, and full of positive energy. It’s rare to find a place that combines tradition, hospitality, and great food so effortlessly.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique, soulful, and delicious. A true gem!“

“Had an amazing dinner here on a quiet night with a group of four. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the service couldn’t have been better. Our waitress, Hawk, was attentive, friendly, and really made the experience enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“Amazing, clean food. Amazing vibe. A favorite in NYC. I could eat Inday everyday!“

“l've visited NYC a few times and tried a lot of food spots, but this one is by far my favorite! ! came with friends and we all agreed - everything was amazing. The food was incredible, and the service was just as great.
Everyone who served us was so nice and welcoming, and made this experience 10X better!!!! If you've been waiting for a sign to try a new place, this is it. 10/10, absolutely loved it!“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Bushwick. Food, made to order. Nothing heated in a microwave. Service, impeccable. Very pleasant and warm. Service with a smile. Atmosphere, magnificent. Thank you Desi Grill, you make me feel like home!! My Mom and I had a wonderful time. Patti & Lynne“

“The Manager greeted me as I enter the restaurant and seated me promptly took my order I had the lentil soup which was delicious I had the alougobi cauliflower for appetizers. Main course I had the chicken tikki masala and spinach with paneer cheese over great seats great food and service highly recommended to anybody this restaurant“

“I love the food en general“

“I arrived during the slower afternoon period. Their dishes impressed me more than I anticipated. Gorkhali - Brooklyn created moments that felt like culinary sorcery! Employees provided steady, superior attention. The quality corresponds to the price.“

“Good food 🥘 Great environment“

“Ordered pickup to go. Staff was nice. 10/10. Food was piping hot by the time I got home 20ish minutes later. Portion size is good for the price. I wasn’t super familiar with Indian food before I ordered & wanted to try a bunch. I got the chicken tikka masala, lamb handi, veg biryanis, garlic and cheese naan, & paratha plain. Very flavorful. I will order again.

Vegetarian options: Most dishes have veggie option“

“First time I ever ate anywhere completely alone but the staff welcomed me and the food was amazing and authentic! Just like India!“

“Best for Indian & Nepali cuisine in town.“

“We were wanting to try an Indian spot for dinner and chose this one. We had a great time from the second we walked in to the end of our meal. The waitress was so kind and helpful especially since we had our baby daughter with us, with a highchair and asking if we needed anything, helping us order different meals and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was DELICIOUS, all the flavors were there and authentic. The food came out quick and we really enjoyed every meal, especially the garlic naan! We would for sure come again.“

“Top fine Indian cuisine in Brooklyn, Love every bite the food is excelente, yum yum ;)“

“great atmosphere great food“

“LOVE this place, the atmosphere is so warm and inviting, nothing flashy, instead there's wood everywhere, American antiques and Indian chachkas on the walls, kinda fun IMHO. The food is among the best Indian I've had. I've tried the lamb korma, with its thick, sweet n savory cashew nut gravy and fork-tender chunks of lamb. The tandoori salmon sizzling platter with spinach is out of this world. Tender juicy salmon kebabs, marinated and cooked on skewers, served over onions on a hot cast iron platter (the onions are still being seared when the platter arrives), with a generous side of spinach. I tasted the chicken chettinad that a friend ordered. He loved it. I found the sauce to be similar to korma but without the sweetness from the chopped fruit that's usually in korma. The tamarind flavor was noticeable. The veggie samosas were very very good, nice lightly crispy crust, nicely spiced. They'll start you off with a complimentary papadam while you make your choices. Prices are very reasonable, and from 12-4 they offer 25% off their reg prices as their lunch special.“

“This place is the best. Delicious food, incredibly kind and accommodating staff. I really can’t express just how good the food was. This spot is also right around the corner from The Bell House and open until 10:30. Highly recommend getting yourself some late ish night food here before hitting the F or G train. Seriously so good, thank you for an excellent dining experience!“

“Very good food. Creative and interesting dishes. The environment is also nice and calm.“

“One of the cleanest Indian kitchen/restaurant definitely must dine in to experience the food ps the dhal, garlic naan, rack of lamb is a must try“

“Cozy restaurant with great food. We are always happy with genuine service. We enjoyed the Aloo Chana Saag (spinach) dish, which was the perfect balance with the biryani, which had some kick to it. The chicken tikka is always on par, as well as the vegetable samosa and naan. Highly recommend.“

“If I lived in the neighborhood, I would eat in or get takeout from here at least once a week. Chana Saag and Shrimp Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan were next level, especially for the price. Even the rice on its own was delicious. The staff is always very warm and welcoming as well.“

“We ordered a bunch of dishes: Samosa, Gobi Manchurian, chicken tika masala, lamb saagwala, garlic naan, mixed pickle, and mango juice. My partner ate everything and I only had the lamb saagwala..she enjoyed everything and particularly complemented the flavors of this dishes above other Indian restaurants we have tried. I specifically enjoyed the lamb saagwala..it was done to perfection and balanced the flavor of the meat with the spices and the creamy spinach. We will definitely try other dishes in the future!“

“Awsome atmosphere with awsome food. One of the best indian food I have tried. Appetizer gobi manchurian and samusa is my favorite. Main dish butter chicken with garlic naan is so good. And the mango lassi is the top on my list, perfect combination of yogurt, mango pureé and sugar. Service and staffs were amazing.“

“Delicious food. Great variety. Very friendly and comfortable. Loved it!“

“This would be a great take out curry house. The service and atmosphere were a little lacking, but the food was awesome. They had all the extras like rice with each curry and free chips and chutneys. We loved it! If you are looking for more bang for your buck, this one is better than the Bombay next door!“
