42 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 💖“

“If you’re looking for aunthetic Thai and Indian food… I highly recommend this place. I recently dined at Basil Indian & Thai Cuisine they are located in 3972 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, New York. The reservation was easy to make, the staff were extremely helpful in accommodating and friendly. The ambiance was great, the food is fantastic and lived up to my expectations. Two thumbs up and 3 stars! 👍🏼👍🏼 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️“

“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!!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Pakiza Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish had authentic taste and great presentation. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Service was fast, the restaurant was clean, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent customer service. I will definitely visit again!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This is a beautiful restaurant which gives great vibes. The staff is very nice and makes your experience very well. The atmosphere is top notch because of the music, designs, and it reflects the Indian culture. Tejas and his team was very helpful with serving food and helping us order.

The Chaanp at Musaafer is easily one of the best lamp chops ever. These lamb chops are incredibly tender and hit that perfect balance between a smoky and a juicy taste. The blend of Indian spices is bold but doesn't overpower the meat, which makes it unique. It’s a must order if you’re looking for a standout dish that’s both rich and flavorful.“

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

“This place is something special. The butter chicken was rich, vibrant, and absolutely unforgettable. The garlic naan was delicate, perfectly cooked, and incredibly delicious. The raita and tamarind chutney brought the perfect balance to every bite. What truly stands out is the clarity and depth of the flavors. Every spice comes through in a way that feels clean, bright, and intentional. The service was warm and genuine, making it feel like you were sitting in someone’s home! We will be back!!“

“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.“

“Definitely worth standing in the pouring rain for. I ordered the chicken curry rice platter and also tried the chicken tikka katti roll that was recommended. Everything was packed with so much flavor. Chicken tikka katti roll was my favorite. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“My fiancé have been here a few times a while back and decided to visit this weekend for a late dinner and had a great experience. The food was SO good! We had some tomato soup to start then ordered garlic and cheese naan, tika masala, tikka chicken fried rice, and aloo samosa. The flavors were incredible! Our eyes were bigger than our stomach so we ended up having leftovers, which we looked forward to eating and finished this evening.

I wish I could remember our servers names, they were both kind and checked in with us throughout the meal.

Love how late their kitchen is open and they have a great drink menu, as well. Highly recommend for a great date spot or to bring your family. Definitely won’t wait that long again to return!“

“Inday is one of several eateries in the restaurant pavilion of a busy NYC office building and tourist location. I’ve worked in this building several times a month over the past 2 years, and worked my way through all of the food offerings. A few of them are quite good, but none have captivated me like Inday. For the past few months, for workday lunch I simply don’t want to eat anywhere else.

They’ve got a great menu, although I’ve personally settled on their Golden Chicken Curry! The vegetables are consistently fresh, the sauce is absolute perfection, and I love the way the chicken is prepared. The atmosphere is perfected suited to situations where you and a couple of colleagues want to grab a bite and talk over something outside of the office. It’s cafeteria style seating - with about a dozen 4-person tables, with enough space between them to maintain privacy - which again is perfectly suited to office workers and tourists in a hurry to grab a bite and catch a ferry to the several tourist destinations at the southern tip of Manhattan.

Finally I want to mention the staff. Fast, friendly, and non-intrusive - and, unlike the sometimes sullen “New York attitude” staff of the larger franchises - they always seem happy to see you.“

“The Indian Tapas is a culinary masterpiece! The food is bursting with authentic flavors, and the tapas-style portions are great for sharing. The tandoori prawns and spiced lentils were my favorites. The service was excellent, and the vibe was perfect. A must-visit!“

“GreAt food. Coming here for years“

“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.“

“In terms of depth of flavor, this cart outshines the rest on Uber Eats and another delivery apps. Respectfully, people expecting to get full kitchen-level Indian food from a halal cart are blissfully optimistic. This place has great sauces, solid portions, tender meat and packs a heat that is worthy of repeat ordering. When I annoyingly put in modifications they acknowledge them. Other carts on delivery apps are bland but this spot is delicious“

“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.“

“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.“
