50 Best Indian Restaurants near Fresh Meadows

“We ordered the 4–5 person platter at Siraji Karahi, and it was an excellent experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish had a rich, authentic taste, but the highlight was definitely the Beef Nehari — tender, perfectly spiced, and absolutely delicious. It paired wonderfully with their soft, buttery naan. The portion size was generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, Siraji Karahi truly delivers a taste of quality and tradition. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys genuine Pakistani flavors!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife, our dog, and I came in for dinner and had an amazing experience from start to finish! The service was exceptional, and the owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind.

We ordered the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, mango lassi, garlic & chili naan vegetable and chicken samosas, gulab jamun, and even received a delicious rice pudding on the house. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, the food was so good that I forgot to take pictures before digging in!

The flavors were incredible, the portions were generous, and every dish was made with care. I walked out feeling like I had gained 10 pounds—but it was worth every bite!

10/10 experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding hospitality. ❤️🍽️ #theyarepetfriendly 🐶“

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

And the staff is super friendly and attentive. Everyone makes you feel welcome! Definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for an upcale, delicious yet pocket friendly food!“

“The food and service were both excellent. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The samosas were delicious, the sauces were great, and the coconut chicken with coconut naan was especially amazing. Really glad I stopped in and supported this place.“

“It’s usually pretty quiet here when I tend to go for lunch. The service has always been great and attentive. The portions are big I can rarely finish what I order. The best part is the pricing - I typically order a main with rice & naan and a couple glasses of wine and I always feel like I’m getting a deal. Definitely recommend!“

“Affordable, nostalgic, and full of flavor the Hindu temple canteen instantly transported me back to the South. The food is simple, soulful, and served with warmth. I highly recommend the sambar vada, idli, chilli dosa, masala dosa, bisi bele baath,poori, pongal, and of course, their strong and aromatic filter coffee. Perfect for anyone craving authentic South Indian tiffin without breaking the bank.“

“I had the Giant TIKKA MASALA CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK and it was absolutely delicious! Every bite had a great combination of flavors that blended perfectly together. It had just the right amount of spice—flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. When I tell you it's fire meaning it tastes amazing trust me you won't regret it!

I also want to recognize Ankit for the outstanding customer service. He was very patient while taking my order over the phone, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience pleasant. He was genuinely kind, caring, and professional. Great food paired with excellent customer service is what keeps customers coming back. I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Great food, cozy atmosphere & excellent service.“

“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“

“My mother was craving Indian food and we found this place. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The staff told us a little bit about how to eat the food we ordered and her culture. It was a delightful experience and we will definitely be back“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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).“

“Awsome food❤️❤️❤️ Reasonable Price Spacious Parking“

“I’ve lived in New York my entire life and eaten Indian food all over the city, and Green Chilli on Nostrand in Bed Stuy is serving some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

Chef-owner Anis is Bangladeshi and trained under renowned chef Hemant Mathur, and the food speaks for itself. Everything we ordered was exceptional; the standouts were the samosas, hands down some of the best I’ve ever had in my life across any cuisine, and the tandoori shrimp, which was absolutely phenomenal. The quality, care, and attention to detail rival restaurants charging several times as much, yet the prices remain remarkably accessible.

A huge shoutout to our server, Nakib. His warmth, knowledge of the menu, and genuinely welcoming demeanor elevated the entire experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with thoughtful details throughout, from the roses on the tables to the artwork and decor, creating a space that feels both cozy and special. My girlfriend grew up in Houston and, while she’s always been open to Indian food, the rich curry-forward flavor profiles never fully clicked for her. This was the meal that changed that. It was the first time she left an Indian restaurant saying, “Wow, I really do love Indian food.”

Whether you’re an Indian food enthusiast, planning a date night, celebrating a special occasion on a budget, or just looking for a great neighborhood meal, Green Chili delivers. It’s vegetarian-friendly, pescatarian-friendly, carnivore-friendly, and one of those rare spots that’s worth traveling across Brooklyn, or even from another borough, for. Come hungry. Leave extremely satisfied.“

“This was full stop the kindest service and best spicy butter chicken I've ever had. They also gave us this sauce flight and crispy cracker situation before the meal that was so increadible (not pictured, we devoured, phone could not eat first. Oops). I will dream of this food and it will haunt me until I can return. Super fast service (food in under 15 min) and a clean restroom. Period.“

“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 ordered their samosas last night, both lamb and vegetable. They came fresh and were very flavorful. I also called in again to add an order of rice, and they were nice enough to throw it in on the house. Great food and very friendly.

Will be ordering from here again!“

“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“

“I have been going here since it opened. Friendly staff. Highly recommend the lunch special with generous portions. I recently learned that the small container of onion relish now costs $2–it used to be automatically added to the order. Also, the food in my usual order used to be pleasantly spicy but various items are extremely fiery (happens occasionally with the samosas and most recently with the aloo matar gobi). Took off a star for that but it’s still a solid option!“

“Can't complain about getting unlimited rice to accompany entrees! I had the tofu jalfrezi here with spinach paratha and it did not disappoint. It's a small operation so service is a bit on the slow side, but the food more than makes up for that. The gentleman serving customers was also kind and professional. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Ate out at the patio.really nice spot to eat outdoors during nice weather. Service was really good all the servers were very friendly and kept checking on us. Food is good value for money, not super authentic Calcutta but good value for money for sure. Service was the highlight. Very efficient and very friendly“

“Every time I come I have the best time with my friends and the food hits the spot consistently. We dove right into the meal we forgot to take pictures. But we had a lot of clean plates leftover.

Chicken steamed momos: demolished (sauce was fought over)
Samosa chat: crispy and flavorful
Garlic Tika: came on a sizzling hot plate. Charred chicken and veggies was in perfect balance

Love the place!“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

“Really great experience here. I ordered the chicken korma with roti and both were spot on. The korma was creamy and flavorful without being too sweet, and the spice level was just right.

The roti came out fresh and warm, soft with a slight crisp to it, perfect for scooping up the sauce. Everything tasted fresh and well made.

Service was friendly and the vibe was relaxed and comfortable. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“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.“

“great food and amazing service! Amina is a superb hostess!“

“Food was delicious, one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Brooklyn. Me and my friend were bored of the typical dinner spots and wanted to give Mumbai Palace a shot, as it’s been on our bucket list for awhile. 10/10 recommended!

Mahi our server was super kind and patient with us, and the ambience was great for a quiet night away from the bustle of most BK foodie spots. Will be back soon!“

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

“It was excellent. The food was very delicious.
I love Indian food.
People who shop in the Bronx, instead of buying these fast foods they should go to the Indian restaurant to eat. They can either buy to take out or sit and eat a delicious meal.
You also get a free water with the meal if you don't like soda.
The manager was very friendly.“

“Great food and great service.“

“My friend was late for the lunch but eventually she showed up. She loved the vegetarian lunch and we chatted about a bunch of stuff. The last time we got together was December 2025 and so we had much to catch up. The server was extremely kind and never rushed us.“

“The Drunken Munkey is such a great place. The inside has a really unique, cozy vibe with cool music and decorations that make it feel special the moment you walk in.
Everything we ordered was amazing. The food is flavorful and delicious, and the drinks are outstanding—definitely try one of their specialty cocktails.
The staff was super welcoming, too. It’s an awesome spot for a fun night out, and I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended“

“This Indian buffet is the perfect lunch spot! It’s convenient, reasonably priced, and the food was absolutely delicious. There was a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and everything I tried was excellent. I definitely look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend!“

“We were visiting from Chicago and they were so friendly. The mithai was very fresh! The best I’ve had in the US in fact. We brought home some boxes of mixed mithai for our family and they loved it too.“

“Best in Class! We went for lunch two days in a row. Delicious food at a very modest price. Great taste, nice portiers. very friendly staff. And the cleanest restroom in NY. Recommended!!!!!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience here, and a huge part of that was thanks to Geeta! She is an incredible waitress always smiling, super friendly, and highly attentive. She constantly made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We will definitely be back!“

“The best there IS in Queens‼️ excelllllllllent food, friendly service, room full of energy. Love this place.“

“One of the best places to satisfy your craving for South Indian snacks and food!! I love their Dosas and vadas!! Also, one of the rare restaurants who serve pesarettu (Moong dal dosa from Andhra Pradesh) which is awesome!! Excellent food and great value for money!! Keep it up team Dosa Hutt!!👍“

“Brilliant Food Brilliant Staff Brilliant Sevice Great Prices 5 Stars ⭐️“

“I love the food en general“

“The food is AMAZING and so is the customer service!!! I have been trying a bunch of spots in the area but this is by far the best. The samosas chat is so fresh and the chutneys are great. Pani puri is so flavorful too the perfect amount of tang and spice. Very affordable and a great variety of vegetarian options. Every-time I come in, they manage to put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Can’t wait to come back again.“

“Delicious Authentic Indian Cuisine“

“Solo guy who is very nice handling the hole in the wall Indian restaurant here. Authentic Bangladesh Indian flavors by the chef here, flavorful goat and lamb curry. Restaurant has very limited seating so recommend it's better to call in the order and pick up or have it delivered.“

“This place is really good!

I had a chicken curry that had just the right amount of spicy and it was so flavorful. Als had some vegetarian curries that were so creamy and tasty.

Service is great, and the whole ambient of the place is chill and relaxed“

“Food was delicious.i always bring my guests who come from out of state here at Yak. Service is very nice too.“

“I ordered Spinach parathas, beetroot parathas without any chillies and it was made perfect. Extra butter, raita, perfect temperature just like my grandma made. I always order from here. Even entries that I order are always made to perfection with my special request of no chillies and no garam masala. Thank you Komal ji for providing a 5 star customer service always. YOU ARE THE BEST KOMAL JI.“
