50 Best Indian Restaurants near Flushing

“I stopped by the Hindu Temple Canteen after visiting the temple and the place delivers exactly what people say about it. The food is simple, fresh and made with the kind of consistency you only get in a temple kitchen.

I tried two plates because I was there with a friend. The pongal was warm, comforting and properly seasoned. The curd vada had a light, balanced taste and felt refreshing. The mixture on the side added a nice crunch. The dosa was crisp, not oily, and the coconut chutney tasted clean. The sambar was mild but paired well with everything.

The canteen is not about presentation. It's about honest food that feels familiar and satisfying. Portions are fair and pricing is very reasonable for New York. If you're already visiting the temple, stopping here makes total sense. It’s quick, reliable and a good break before heading back out.“

“We love eating at Kotha Restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the flavors are amazing. My kids also love it — it’s one of their favorite places to eat!

“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.

You’d notice the decor immediately—stunning and attention to detail from top to bottom! The menu had so much to choose from and the servers were extremely helpful with explaining the differences. But the star of the show has to be the presentation of the food and the flavorful sauces. Worth the city prices. Would definitely come back for another special occasion!“

“I’ve been walking by Pranam for quite some time and finally decided to come in - I can’t express how much I’m wishing I visited earlier! I’m blown away by the quality of the food and attentive service. The Momo were incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned and the entrees from varying places in Asia impressed me. Special shout out to the imported beers as well - I got the Nepal Ice beer and am now looking where to source it for myself. Truly a hidden neighborhood staple -
I encourage everyone to check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. Promise.“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu.

Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“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!“

“The goat curry was amazing! No gamey smell, the meat was super tender, and the flavor was spot on. I could eat the gravy by itself. Plus, they use less salt, and you can always ask them to adjust the dish to your taste.“

“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!“

“Service is fast and food is consistently delicious. Easily the best lunch deal in the area. I think about the lamb curry at least once a week. Beautifully inviting interior setting. Genuinely friendly staff. Cannot praise this place enough!“

“I had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, making it a perfect spot for gatherings. When the staff learned that we were celebrating a birthday luncheon, they kindly paused the music during our cake cutting and even played the "Happy Birthday" song on the big screen. Such a thoughtful touch! The veg platter/thali was delicious, and I highly recommend trying the masala chai as it's a must! Overall, I give this place a well deserved 5 stars!“

“I love the food, the attention it's so good 👍🏻“

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the chef for preparing such an exceptional meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, balanced flavors. The attention to detail was remarkable from the perfect seasoning to the freshness of the ingredients, everything came together wonderfully.“

“The best Indian food in the Bellerose/Floral Park area. Food is very delicious and owner and staff are very friendly. I order from here frequently and the quality of the food is very consistent/good. Alo Gobi, Bindi, channa masala, Gobi Manchurian, paneer makhani, chili paneer are some of my favorites.“

Also Omar and staff are generous kind people.“

“Wow such lovey place, when I be there I wanna be just chill with imagine drink 🍹 & food! Just love it 🥰“

“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!“

“Rudraks on the upper west side is a wonderful Indian restaurant. The food is fresh, delicious unique but familiar. The restaurant is cozy and people seem to really enjoy their time… having nice conversations. I have seen groups of families, couples and also individuals going to have a reasonably priced lunchtime meal Today. We had delicious lunchtime meal for $15 which included an entrée bread, rice, lentils, and dessert. You really can’t be that price and the food is really delicious not oily not greasy and the service is super kind and they make you feel like a very special customer. Thanks very much for such an enjoyable experience.“

“Retro Indian songs, home like food, if you are a paratha fan, and miss ur mom's paranthe, this place is the one for you. The best part is Central park is nearby, so once you are done with ur parantha, you can walk and relax in ur food coma slump!!!!!“

“We recently visited Lassi lounge with another couple friend for dinner. The food , service, dessert was superb ,we are vegetarian so we felt like heavenly treat . Keep up the great taste and lots of best wishes , we will tell friends and family to put it in must go to eat list Amit Parikh“

“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“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Amazing food, service. Family owned. Love it here.“

“Stayed close by. Needed a night cap and this place looked interesting. When you walk in it’s like WOW…I wasn’t expecting that! Then I asked Wil, the bartender about the cocktail options. All I can say is try the Indian Spiced Old Fashioned!! A must! Then I’m told they have a Happy Hour from 10pm to close Sun to Thursday…what?? So off course I had another. This time the Hot Toddy Royale…a perfect end of night drink. As I browse the food menu I am so disappointed I ate dinner before I came here. I am definitely coming back for food, drink, and great chats!“

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