5 Best Indian Restaurants near Long Island City

“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.“

“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.“

“Let's start with nice samosas (jumbo size - they have smaller size too). They are very crispy with a good flavor. Nice option for yourself or to share, well better don't share :). Then a Dosa (kind of Indian pancake or burrito) with chicken tásala (they ask you how spicy you want). The chicken has a good flavor, so it s a good option when you are boring to eat traditional fast food. The sauces are ok but the Tamarindo was the best with a sweet and a little spicy flavor. The place is pretty small, you order at the cashier, seat, eat and go. Jumbo Samosas, Dosa and Coke: 14$ is the hit to your wallet. मेरे दोस्त को शुभकामनाएँ 🇮🇳 Enjoy your food my friend 🇺🇸 More Food and Entertainment in NY with your new fiend.... @elmanudominguez (Instagram and YouTube videos)“
