50 Best Indian Restaurants near Forest Hills

“I tried the Mutton Sula Kabab and Chicken Signature Masala, both were absolutely delicious and had the real taste ! The fluffy garlic naan made the meal even more special. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Absolutely worth every bite.“

“I’ve been coming here for as long as they’ve been open and it’s one of my favorites for dine in or takeout. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and lamb biryani are the go to’s and are all delicious. Naan and garlic naan are always great. Big fan of the vegetable samosa’s, too. I will agree with some other reviews that the service is a little on the slower side but that’s something that doesn’t bother me too much, I honestly prefer slower service vs. feeling like I’m being rushed out of a place. If you’re looking for some good Indian in Forest Hills, this is a good place to start.“

“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“

“Best food ever“

“Had a wonderful dinner experience at Adda tonight. The food was exceptional. The chefs know what to do with the spices to create some of the best flavors in all of these dishes. The curry leaf crab is a must! All the dishes were great. But the one of the best bites we had was a simple yet so flavorful kulfi popsicle desert that was dipped in strawberry cream sauce. Also what was top of the line was the service. Our server Swayam was a delight. He was the kindest person with a great personality. He was very knowledgeable about all the items and was a great help with recommendations. Service was a 10 out of ten. It’s hard to get a reso here, but that means everyone is going here. This restaurant is a must.

“The food was invredibly good. What an explosion of flavours! The only thing we did not like so much is the quickness of the service. We had the feeling we were rushed trough the meals. Maybe it is typically American to have a quick service but we were with 6 people and wanted to have a cozy night. But it is still a very good restaurant with friendly waiters.“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“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!!“

“I made this reservation after reading the reviews regarding the food quality and the proximity to Broadway. We were running late for our reservation and I was completely flustered because I didn't want to be late for our 8:00 show. We were seated and our orders were taken and were served the most delicious Samosa appetizers, entrees and drinks (Django mango margaritas). We shared our Kedhai chicken, Butter chicken, Hakka noodles and Goan fish curry and were happily satisfied with plenty of time to get to our show in time. The Maitre ‘D and servers were amazing. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is also quite relaxing and welcoming.“

“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.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Great service and great management. Excellent food quality.Jasmeetbhai is great and wonderful person.“

“Warm, modern, and intimate restaurant that has a creative take on Indian cuisine. Upon entry, we were greeted welcomingly. 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!“

“This place is an absolute gem — the kind of place that effortlessly combines romance, elegance, and a touch of modern allure. From the moment you walk in, the ambience feels intimate and sophisticated, with warm lighting, exquisite décor, and a refined energy that sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. The cocktails are artfully crafted, each one as beautiful as it is delicious, and the food is nothing short of exceptional — rich, flavorful, creative and plated with perfection. The service was gracious and attentive without ever being intrusive“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

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

“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!“

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

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“Amazing food. Loved the service given by the people around there. I really didn't expect to get such a good service at such an hour I;e 11:30am in the morning, that too on a weekday( Tuesday). The ambiance was neat and good. Highly recommend the lollipop dry and the goat dum Biryani that was suggested by the person over there. Perfect in flavours. Highly recommended for people who just loves food and flavours.“

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

“Visiting the city and thought of trying Indian. I must say I am impressed. The food was authentic, tasted absolutely delicious and Suresh (the host) was very hospitable. His servive was impeccable. They have amazing music and the ambience feels very lively. Would definitely visit again.“

“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.“

“I had the Murg Makhani...which is grilled chicken in a tomato butter sauce. Expertly spiced and absolutely delish...and I finished off the sauce with a combination of garlic and butter naan. I cooled my palate with Tak Mahal beer. A wonderful experience! BTW: the service was outstanding.“

“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.“

“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“

“We recently visited Bungalow NY, and it was truly an unforgettable dining experience! The ambiance was elegant yet warm, perfectly blending modern luxury with an inviting charm.

The food is absolutely outstanding! Every dish was a masterpiece, beautifully plated and bursting with authentic flavors. You could taste the creativity and love behind every bite.

What made the evening even more special was seeing Chef Vikas Khanna personally visit tables, sharing stories behind the dishes and asking for feedback. He is such a humble and inspiring gesture from a world-class chef. 🙌

And to top it all off, we even spotted Tripti Dimri dining there that night! ✨

Overall, Bungalow NY is not just a restaurant. it’s a complete culinary journey. Highly recommended for anyone who loves exceptional food, impeccable service, and an unforgettable atmosphere.“

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

“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.“

“Vegetarian food is spot on! Fresh and tasty main appetizers, especially aloo tikki with chole and bhel puri. Dal makhani and paneer makhana were fingerlicking. Rasmalai was so so good. Try this place if you are around. My friend tried Chicken biryani and wasn't convince but rest all were amazing. Friendly staff.“

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.“

“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 invited to a birthday dinner, and it was such a wonderful experience! The interior décor was absolutely stunning, creating the perfect ambiance for the evening. The food was incredible — every appetizer and the main course were delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks were the cherry on top, perfectly complementing the meal. Overall, it was a delightful evening filled with great food, drinks, and atmosphere“

“Great food, cozy atmosphere & excellent service.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“Amazing Food. Excellent staff. So kind and mindful of our requests. We went with our baby and one of the staff gave my little kiddo Valentine’s flower. She kept dancing all the time.
We ordered Shrimp in main course but we thought it was not a main course dish to eat with rice so gave us extra gravy of butter chicken. We also ordered Paneer Khurchan which is very unique and delicious. Didn’t say No to anything we asked.
To top it all, they gave us delectable rasmalai desert with chocolate strawberry. So delicious.
We all enjoyed our valentine’s dinner.“

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

“The staff is very attentive and kind. We had the Tandoori Chicken Tikka which did not look like the photo in their online menu but was still very tasty, Butter Chicken, and the Chicken Korma. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We'd definitely go back.“

“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.“

“Wow! That was so delicous!!!
We had visited Bombay Chowk a few times over the last few years but had never become a regular as we had never walked away having been amazed. But idk what changed, the food was SOOOO good today. We had the new lamb samosa, lamb biryani, chicken makhani and garlic naan. Everything was so delicous. Every bite a burst of flavor. Either I was ordering the wrong things during my previous meals, or the chef changed, or idk, to tonight they hit the mark for me and I was very impressed. I can't wait to go back!!! (We spent our entire walk back hom talking about how crazily good the food was today)“

“A real neighborhood institution serving pretty good Punjabi food to cab drivers, club kids, and everyone else. Not even slightly fancy, but Inexpensive, informal, fast and delicious — what more could you want? Good for chai and a samosa or for a full meal, depending on how hungry you are. Tourists spend hours in line waiting for a sandwich from the movie-famous deli across the street but the real New York experience, in my view, is to come here and stare at the tourists while you eat your chana.“

“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).“

“Excellent South Indian Food, generous portions, friendly staff and great prices. Chicken Tikka Masala...Absolutely Delicious!!!“

“Large menu selection of veg, non-veg, desi and Indian-Chinese cuisine along with great food quality and professional service are the key factors of success with Aanch. It provides a great family dining experience. All items are curated to ones taste and palette. Would highly recommend for a relaxed evening dining with family and friends“

“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 🤗✌🏽“

“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!“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“
