43 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 had a great time stopping by & shopping at this location! They have a plethora of items to choose from along depending on what your palette desires!! The ambiance/atmosphere was warming & welcoming… surely I’ll be returning with friends & family!“

“Ate here yesterday, probably our 3rd visit to Randiwa, as it’s a long trip from where we live in a different part of NYC. Randiwa’s location makes access by public transport less convenient than places closer to the St George’s ferry terminal. We came for lunch and my wife had called ahead to check if they would have hoppers. She was told they normally have hoppers after 5 pm, but they had agreed to serve us hoppers for lunch, which was very accommodating. I myself had planned to have something other than hoppers but my wife persuaded me to have hoppers too, as hoppers tend not to be available at most of the Sri Lankan restaurants for lunch. Our Uber driver from the ferry to Randiwa (of Pakistani origin but who had grown up and lives in Staten Island) was very familiar with Randiwa and praised the food. (Interestingly, he also knew the “little Sri Lanka” area at Victory Blvd & Cebra Ave & spoke highly of New Asha, a place we too like a lot.) I had the lamb black curry while my wife had the fish. The amount of hoppers we ended up being served was insane, I don’t think I have eaten so many egg hoppers and plain hoppers at one meal. The hoppers were accompanied by the usual spicy chilli/onion lunu miris. At the end we shared a falooda as our dessert, it was excellent. If you are a hopper fan this is probably the best Sri Lankan place to eat at in NYC. The owner/chief chef Sanjay was at the back but came out and spoke to us. Sanjaya is an outstanding Sri Lankan chef, we’ve known him from long ago when he was with the other well known Sri Lankan restaurant in Staten Island (which I won’t mention here!). He later had his own place off Victory Blvd for a while, but it’s good to see him doing well with Randiwa. If you drive or happen to live in the vicinity and enjoy Sri Lankan food then Randiwa is the obvious place of choice, for those of us who depend on public transport and live outside Staten Island visiting Randiwa is only something for special occasions, as it happened to be for us yesterday. We wanted to bring with us some “shorteats” (Sri Lankan appetizers/snacks) but they were low on them as they are closed on Monday and this was a Tuesday, but by the time we were leaving they had mutton rolls ready, which we got to take home. In addition to short eats they sell containers of homemade achchaaru, the spicy-sour Sri Lankan pickle of mixed vegetables, as well as jars of lunu-dehi, salted lime pickle at the counter, which we haven’t seen at other Sri Lankan restaurants in NYC.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Siddharth took great care of us and recommended great options for our dietary restrictions. We loved the chicken seekh kebab, lychee ceviche, bhindi, and paneer razala. The paan negroni was strong and tasty. Venue is beautiful and well decorated.“

“What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely 10/10—everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

A special thank you to Neela, who was so kind and welcoming. I don’t eat Indian food very often, so she took the time to recommend the perfect dishes for me to try. Her suggestions were spot on, and I loved every bite!

The mango yogurt drink was incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

If you’re looking for great food and exceptional service, definitely stop by and ask for Neela. She’ll make sure you have a wonderful dining experience!“

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

“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.“

“Had the chicken kotthu with the raitha and mint chutney sauces as well as the mango lassi beverage to wash everything down and to be really really honest, this is the best dish i’ve had in my life!! 10/10 recommendation will come here again.“

“Amazing food and excellent service! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and everything was clean and well organized. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. Definitely coming back again! 😊“

“We ordered saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, particularly the lamb korma, which was fantastic. All of the meat was cooked perfectly, and I had never had paneer be toasted before, which was nice. Also, I ordered togo in-person, and they invited us to sit at a dining table while we waited - very kind. Will definitely return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“I got to admit the food here is very delicious. I will definitely visit again. The young lady Ariana was very polite and just a sweetheart! When she gave me my bag there was a beautiful message written on it. I thought that was so cool! I got the Karma bowl with a side order of sweet potatoes.. it was absolutely delicious. It's a very welcoming and very clean place and that's what I look for every time I go out to eat. Can't wait to try the next thing on the menu.“

“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 🍻“

“Can’t believe I waited so long to try this place. The vegan Chana masala, roti and chicken tikka masala were the best I’ve had in New Jersey. It’s a cute play on Brick Lane in London. Great British south asian food. The staff were super kind when I called to confirm the Chana and roti were dairy free.“

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

“A decent place for a chicken over rice in this area. I recently saw this on instagram and came here to try some food. The chicken over rice was pretty good, very tasty, and plentiful. My only concern was that the employee charged me approximately 10% more than menu price, which I realized after I left there and saw my card transactions, I don’t know why.
Also, I went there at around 2-3pm on a weekend and there was no line at all.“

“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“

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

“This is a catering place for Indian and Gujarati traditional food. Breakfast lunch and dinner. The owner is very nice and will make you some tasty food. It’s not a sit down place but food is very good for catering. This is my 3rd time from here. Staff is friendly too.“

“I had a good experience at Wonder Jersey City. The food was fresh, flavorful, and there were plenty of options to choose from. Ordering was easy, and my meal was ready on time. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there’s still a little room for improvement with consistency, but overall it’s a great spot when you’re looking for a convenient and tasty meal.“

“I was real struggling to find a good vegetarian food which we indian call as “desi” food. I luckily stumbled on this place. The environment was good, the owner is amazing, he is friendly, one will look to have a conversation with him.

I wish I could have found this place earlier.“

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“Food taste and quality are good. Amritsari kulcha platter must try. Staff and service was nice!!“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent, and the girl working at the register was especially kind, polite, and professional.The food is genuine, which made the experience even better. Her friendly attitude and great customer service truly made my visit special. Highly appreciated! I would definitely recommend this place.“

The eggs are always cooked to perfection, whether you prefer them scrambled soft or over easy, and the pork roll is a savory treat that echoes the authenticity of New Jersey’s culinary heritage. But it’s not just the food that makes Keyport Deli special; it’s the service. The staff greet you with smiles as warm as the coffee they serve, making you feel like part of the family.

In a world where the hustle and bustle can be overwhelming, Keyport Deli offers a haven where the food is hearty, the coffee is strong, and the service is unmatched.

“Based on the taste it's not recommended otherwise the location, Customer service and ambiance is good!!!“

“First time visiting this place. Nice spacious restaurant with tasty food“

“Great food and service, has been coming here almost daily lately! Definitely recommend the zinger sandwich 🙏🏻“

“Shadman is an amazing spot in downtown jersey city. It’s the best spot ever. As an Indian, I never taste or get provided food dishes which are so clean and well prepped. I have been their customer for 6 years now and the food and its quality is still the same. I have tried all the fancy Indian spots and what not but this place is so clean and the food hits the spot every time without a doubt . Thank you to their team for doing a great job. I highly recommend them.“

“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.“

“Good food love the atmosphere.“
