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.“

“I had such a wonderful dining experience here recently. Everything we ordered arrived fresh and full of flavor. The steam rising off the hot skillet was a perfect welcome to the meal, and the lemon slice on top was a nice touch.

The rice and naan were both excellent accompaniments to the main dishes. I especially enjoyed the vibrant green peas in the curry and the beautiful texture of the topped appetizers. It is a fantastic spot to grab a great meal on Grand Street.“

“BEST FOOD AND SERVICE!! the naan was the best naan i’ve ever had in my life, it was soooo fluffy and doughy. chicken tikka masala was a genuine 10/10 and i can’t wait to eat my leftovers. my meal had me weak in the knees after bruh. my king anuj brought us great food and delivered amazing service. he asked me after i put on my sweater if i was cold and then he turned off the ac that was going directly on my table (which was much much appreciated). i can’t wait to come back“

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

“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!“

“A great pure South Indian vegetarian restaurant, especially for authentic Tamil Nadu-style flavors. Everything was tasty, flavorful, and genuinely authentic.

They offer around 10–12 dosa varieties, rice dishes, and appetizers. Prices are very affordable, and the portions are moderate for the price, making it easy to try several items without spending much.

The service was good and fast. It’s an order-and-pick-up-over-the-counter kind of restaurant, making it a convenient option for a quick meal. There is plenty of seating in the basement, accessible by stairs or elevator. There’s also a small temple gift shop.

Parking can be challenging since it’s on a busy street, but a dedicated temple parking lot on Smart Street, one street over, has space for about 35–40 cars.

Overall, a great spot for authentic Tamil Nadu-style food, affordable prices, quick service, and plenty of dosa choices!“

“My first time really exploring Bengali food and I'm blown away. The Kolkata dishes are fantastic, and even the Indo-Chinese chili chicken was amazing.

It's BYOB here with no corkage fee as of this writing, but it's only beer and wine allowed, no hard liquor.

I highly recommend the vegan Cholar Dal, it's a Bengali yellow split-pea/lentil dish with panch phoron (Bengali five-spice) and mustard oil. Fantastic!! Be sure to order a side of luchi poofy bread.

My only complaint is my stomach could not hold more food.“

“The Indian food is really great! Had Saag Paneer, Butter chicken, butter rice and naan. Everything was really delicious

They also have several options to customize for spice

Tried the chicken tikka masala cheesesteak and didn’t think the the flavors went well together. But would recommend this place for the Indian food

The service is very great, waiters are attentive, friendly and greet you warmly when you come in“

“Great food, cozy atmosphere & excellent service.“

“An overall wonderful experience during a Sunday brunch buffet. Friendly and attentive staff made the meal even better on top of delicious food. A good selection of dishes cover the needs of both vegetarians and meat lovers. Especially loved the vegetarian samosa and the lamb vindaloo. A bowl of kheer at the end wrapped up a wonderful meal. Will be back again soon!“

“Awsome food❤️❤️❤️ Reasonable Price Spacious Parking“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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 ordered the meat samosas and lamb rogan josh. The combination of the mint and chutney sauces with the samosas was so good, but the rogan josh was the highlight. So flavorful and lamb was tender. The server was very kind and gave us recommendations. Would come back again!“

“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).“

“This is my favorite Indian Restaurant in all of NYC. It happens to be in my neighborhood but even if it was far away, I would go often. My family is Indian/Pakistani and made of incredible chef-level cooks so it’s hard to eat Indian out and usually disappointing. Not here! Incredible flavors, not overly sweet curries and amazing deals. I get the lunch special/thali weekdays. It’s so much food you can take half home. I get the salmon curry, daal, Palaak paneer or tandoori. Always perfection.“

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

“This place is just the absolute best. The food is GREAT, the service is warm and friendly and the price is right. The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired but is also another reason why I love it. The food and service is so good that it doesn't matter. Plus, love watching the Bollywood videos they always have on.“

“Ordered via Grubhub, had technical difficulties, was delivered late. BUT, restaurant was nice, doing their best, sent it anyway and the delivery person was kind. We have days like these but their lunch specials are perfect. Will see about tomorrow.“

“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.“

“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“

“TL;DR: Food good. Service good. Portion to price ratio not that good. Get the biryani!
The food was well spiced. Portions were not really shareable. The chicken dishes were especially small amounts. The chicken 65($12)and chicken tikka($18) came with 4 small pieces and 5 small pieces respectively. The laccha paratha was also not even actual laccha paratha. With the bad out the way, let’s hear the good.
The service was very good, they take care of you and your needs. The biryani was tasty and the vindaloo had some nice heat to it. All the food was tasty, I didn’t have a bad dish. I would come here again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Dined in on a random weekday. Came because I was feeling Indian cuisine. They have so many options. I got paneer masala with garlic naan and it was insanely delicious. It came out quickly. Freshly made. Not too packed. Clean. 1000% going back soon.“

“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!“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

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

“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.“

“Bawarchi is owned and operated by, Aziz. He is a sociable man who is a trained chef serious about his food. The prices are honest at his small storefront restaurant which has only three tables to sit at. The hot food buffet for lunch is terrific, and I get a small container to go for around $11.
There's a delicious selection of Caribbean and Indian cuisine that is always hot and always fresh. I select the vegetarian, shrimp, or fish dishes, although I do know that my colleagues enjoy all the meat options offered. The food is skillfully prepared & you always get a free piece of naan bread, and a complimentary water or soda.
Eat here next time you're at 104th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan. It's simple, convenient and tastes very good.
Thanks!“

“Delicious Authentic Indian Cuisine“

“Delicious food and drinks. Loved the ambience as well, there was fun decor. We didn't have a reso and just walked in for two on a Tues evening, before peak dinner. It quickly got packed - including outdoor seating.

It's great for smaller groups, resos definitely look needed if you have larger group.

The naan topped biriyani was delicious - don't think I've ever had it served like that - very unique! The pork vindaloo was also delicious - the tomato sauce was very flavorful. Just a little spicy to make it interesting.

Would definitely return again to try other things on the menu. Also such a wonderful vibe just to have drinks as well.“

“I love the food en general“

“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.“

“Namaste Tashi Delek Restaurant is a wonderful place for delicious Nepali, Indian, and Tibetan food. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely visit again!“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“Great food and great service.“

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

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

“Been a while since I ate the food there cuz usually I’d always get their chicken rolls back when I was attending Mamun’s Tutorial. Tried their food today with my family and it was pretty good! I got chicken & veggie rolls while the rest of my family got kala bhuna & garlic naan. The front staff there are really nice! I would recommend this place if you want to try good chicken/veggie rolls or garlic naan! :)“

“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.“

“5 Star Indian Restaurant is an unassuming, traditional Indian eatery in Long Island City offering a wide-ranging menu of classic authentic dishes. Known for its rich curries, fragrant biryanis, hot tandoori breads, and late-night hours, it serves as a reliable local go-to for takeout, delivery, and casual dining. Standout dishes include chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. While the dining room interior is simple and basic, the generous portion sizes, rich spices, and reasonable prices make it a satisfying neighborhood pick.“

“Really enjoyed my meal from this restaurant. I had chicken tikka masala and garlic naan and they were both really delicious, the chicken was well cooked and the sauce was flavorful and clung to the chicken and rice and naan. Delicious food. I had ordered online while walking towards the restaurant from about 10 minutes away and they had it ready before the estimated time online which I was thankful for. I wouldve waited outside for a hot sec but I got there and went in and asked if my order was ready and it was only just a minute after that. I would go back and eat there too they have a byob policy which could be a fun vibe with friends.“

“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!!👍“
