45 Best Indian Restaurants near Staten Island

“I’m a busy working mom and order from Wonder meals for my family 2-3 times a week at least. I like the variety of choices they offer. We particularly like their salads, Mexican food, a chicken sandwich and poke bowls. Most of the meals are very tasty, fresh and good value for the money. We also take advantage of the ability to order from other restaurants through the wonder platform. I particularly like their customer service because it is super responsive and accommodating if there are any mistakes in the order. I’m really happy that we have a wonder restaurant in our community.“

“Great food and Service too“

“BEST INDIAN FOOD ON THE ISLAND, Incredible late night dinner at Hylan Curry & Grill with my hunny 💖“

“Ordered grubhub from here last night, food was magnificent! I even called ahead of time and asked for 2 sides of chutney sauce and they were nice enough to include it in my order. Food was amazing, I got the butter paneer with a side of garlic naan! Next I want to try their masala sauce. Everything was delicious truly a hidden gem on SI!! (I ate most of it in the pic I added lol I couldn’t wait)“

“I’ve never really eaten my share of Indian food but today I just felt it was the right time to give it try and I found this place. Upon walking in it seemed like the place was closed as it was empty but it wasn’t, a nice man seated us and took our orders. The menu was extensive and had plenty of good options and honestly it was a bit hard to pick something as it all sounded great. We at first thought the prices were a bit expensive but once the food came out it was worth it. The potion sizes were a lot more the what we expected and the food overall was amazing, it was full of incredible flavor and filled us up nicely. All the while the server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. At the end I was surprised as to why the place was so empty, it deserves more attention as Im most definitely coming back for their amazing Indian food.“

“As a Sri Lankan, I can confidently say this place is the real deal — 200% authentic and absolutely outstanding. From the moment you walk in, the aroma alone takes you straight back home. Knowing the chef is a renowned top chef makes perfect sense once you taste the food — every dish is crafted with incredible skill and authenticity.

The chicken curry is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced — easily one of the best I’ve had outside Sri Lanka. The egg hoppers and plain hoppers are spot-on, with that perfect soft center and crispy edges. The vade and prawn (shrimp) vade are crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. And the hot butter cuttlefish? An absolute must-try — spicy, savory, and unforgettable.

Don’t leave without trying the falooda — the perfect sweet finish to an amazing meal.

Beyond the food, the service is incredibly warm and friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you’re craving true Sri Lankan flavors in Staten Island, this spot is a five-star must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again when visiting the east coast!!“

“The setting at Alhumza - Pakistani/Indian - Halal Meat, Restaurant and Grocceries adds value to the experience. Alhumza - Pakistani/Indian - Halal Meat, Restaurant and Grocceries creates a complete experience. Workers are accommodating, straightforward, and sincere. They should stick with their current food quality. Give this spot a chance!“

“Great food, great service and value for the money. Great atmosphere“

“Cozy, intimate atmosphere. The service and presentation were wonderful. We had Tamarind Scallops and Chili Crab for appetizers. The crab was phenomenal and my favorite of all the dishes we ordered. For mains, we had Zameen Doz and Punjabi Tikhe Kebab with Malai Naan. The Dover sole was delicious and the pasanda sauce perfect for dipping the naan. The chicken was tender, juicy and so good! We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and were treated to a birthday dessert by our very attentive and kind waiter.“

“Really good food, wish I lived closer to eat regularly. I do love my paneer 😍“

“We had our son’s first birthday party last night, and we chose Punjabi Dhaba for the catering. I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations.

The food was incredible. Every single item tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We had more than enough for everyone, and guests kept going back for seconds. So many people came up to us just to say how good the food was.

What really stood out was their service. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everything stayed stocked and running smoothly throughout the event. We had a good number of guests, and they handled it all without any issues. It gave us peace of mind so we could actually enjoy our son’s special day instead of worrying about the food.

If you’re looking for Punjabi catering that delivers both quality and professionalism, I would absolutely recommend them. They played a big part in making our event stress-free and memorable.“

“Highly Recommend Benares who loves authentic Indian delicious dishes. Plenty variety, great options to choose from, you will certainly like their food and great staff. Great fast service !! The food was incredible & it made us so happy!!“

“We had dinner at Musaafer and the whole experience felt special from the moment we walked in. The space is absolutely beautiful — dramatic but still warm — and it really sets the tone for the night. The food was excellent. We shared several plates so we could try more, and everything felt elevated without losing authenticity. The presentation was stunning, but what really stood out was how well balanced and delicious everything tasted. You can tell a lot of care goes into the dishes. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed. It's definitely a place for a special night out rather than a casual dinner, but it's worth it. We left impressed and would absolutely go back.“

“Excellent meal. Everything very tasty. Excellent dessert and exceptional service. 100% recommended.👌“

“Perfect meal on an icy day. I was lured in by the lunch special displayed on the outside and it even came with chai ! The chicken was nice and juicy and the vegetables very nicely spiced. Left a clean plate and it was a cozy environment on a blisteringly cold day.“

“Had an amazing dinner here on a quiet night with a group of four. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the service couldn’t have been better. Our waitress, Hawk, was attentive, friendly, and really made the experience enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“This place is great!! Told them it was my first time and they told me exactly what to get. The dosa was great, nice and spicy the way I like it. Really cute family operation, clearly passionate about what they do. I’ll be going there again regularly.“

“I still dream of the day they'll bring back gunpowder potatoes. I tried their spicy cauliflower in the spring, but it just wasn't the same. Their food can be a little inconsistent, but my go-to has been the salmon bowl which has a nice crispy salmon and great flavor.“

“If the owners or chef of Bricklane is reading this— to your chicken tikka masala, add one heaped teaspoon of coriander powder, dried mango powder, Kashmiri red chilly powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. And salt your curry 10% more than you do. Your curry will not taste hollow, like it lacks a backbone. Stop holding back on the powdered spices and thank me later.“

“I went last week to TKRC on McDougal in the evening! The two men (I forgot their names but two young non Indian gentlemen who were there between 6-7:30pm) helped me with my large order! They were fantastic!!!! One even suggested the crepe place across the street which was AMAZING! To whoever owns this particular store, those two men were excellent spokespeople for your business, really took care to speak to me with courtesy and friendliness and in no uncertain terms….. were the best! I LOVE the food but with these two men represting your business, I would come back for the lovely service too 🥰🥰 To these two gentlemen…. You are the best 🍻“

“Food was so delicious today we ordered catering and we really loved the food of Amiya Thanks to all the chef and staff members!! Keep it up guys!!“

“GreAt food. Coming here for years“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“Better than any chicken and rice dish I’ve had before. It’s a shame they’re 4.5 hours away 😭“

“I visited your restaurant today and asked for less oil in my curry due to my pregnancy.the cashier was very rude told me it was my responsibility to only eat home made food and told me not to come back.i was very upset by this interaction.As a customer especially I am pregnant I have every right to make a reasonable request about your food such as asking for less oil.The cashier woman respond was wrong,unprofessional,illogical,unkind and Dismissive.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Mushroom Masala, and Tandoori Chicken combos.
The food was rich, authentic, and they definitely don't skimp on the butter—everything was so flavorful. The portions are huge, and come with plenty of rice and fresh naan. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a satisfying, high-quality Indian meal..

The food was so cheap.“

“sobrang sarap, affordable price pa. Worth it bayad mo dito. Same ng lasa sa mga biryani na natikman ko sa Dubai. Highly recommended.“

“Chicken tikka masala and rice.
Omg, this meal is sumptuous!
The rice itself is well cooked and flavoured, the chicken is well marinated and it’s full of flavours. And the hint of onion slices completes the meal!
I honestly love it! I added the white sauce and mint chutney over rice it absolutely outstanding . Trust me I was actually licking my fingers and I didn’t leave any rice grain uneaten! This review is genuinely from my heart“

“We were wanting to try an Indian spot for dinner and chose this one. We had a great time from the second we walked in to the end of our meal. The waitress was so kind and helpful especially since we had our baby daughter with us, with a highchair and asking if we needed anything, helping us order different meals and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was DELICIOUS, all the flavors were there and authentic. The food came out quick and we really enjoyed every meal, especially the garlic naan! We would for sure come again.“

“PROs - hidden gem , homely food , serviceCONs- location , limited menu itemsI rarely give a 5 star . We were near Marlboro area and were craving for some vegetarian food . Saw Google and decided to visit this restaurant . At first , we kinda were joking around looking at the restaurant as there were no customers . Location was a bit wierd. .. we went in and asked if there was food and the Indian lady came and was kind of shocked to see 12 of us coming in . She said she will start cooking then and will take time .We almost wanted to leave the place because we weren’t confident of how fast they will prepare.. to all our surprise , she was able to cook food quickly and the food was deliciousssssssssss.. its almost like our mom cooking at home . We had unlimited thali.she brought us dolls , samosa , kichadi , rotis , undhiyiu, potato bhaji, gulab jamun, chaas etc. all my friends were happy and had a fantastic meal . She said to call her next time before coming , so she can prepare all food :) even though it was a slow start , we were so happy with the food .It’s truly a hidden gem . Both owners were sweet and the service was exceptional.“

“Lived in Jersey for long enough for 10 + years, having tried all Indian & Pakistani restaurants in all major cities. This place SHADMAN has to be at the top man :)). I am stunned with the quality, taste, ambience , portion size and above all economical. The top notch meat quality and whole wheat big tandoori rotis are absolute treat. I don’t usually do reviews but was compelled to write this one.

Thanks SHADMAN 🙏🏽:)).please keep up the good work. Permanent to this spot now.
God bless you guys“

“Great Pakistani Restaurant. They serve good halwa puri here.“

“I had a great experience at this quick food stop. The Panini sandwich I tried was delicious and packed with flavor. They also have the best freshly made juice in town. A highlight for my kids was the bubble tea, which they absolutely loved. After a long summer day, it was refreshing to enjoy a cool and pleasant afternoon brunch break here. The service was excellent.“
