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.“

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

“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!“

“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 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.

“Musaafer was an absolute gem and easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in NYC! We came in with high expectations and left completely blown away.
We ordered the shrimp toast, lychee ceviche, the butter chicken experience, and the Chilean sea bass Malwani style — every single dish was outstanding. The butter chicken experience is unlike anything you’ve had before, and the Malwani sea bass was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. The lychee ceviche was such a creative, refreshing start.
But the star of the evening? The saffron drink. Absolutely out of this world — we’re still thinking about it!
The decor is stunning, the service was warm and attentive, and the whole evening felt special from start to finish. If you’re looking for elevated Indian dining in NYC, Musaafer is the one. Don’t think twice — just book it!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Wanted to taste a new Punjabi restaurant in Central New Jersey and found this place through Google maps. Read their reviews and wanted to surely taste their food.. parking was a bit tight but fine . Location voice it is slightly off the main areas in Central Jersey.

Service could improve.. They forgot some order… they got garlic naan after almost 30 minutes.. .. Punjabi kulcha was the best . Super super good . Punjabi thali was also good . Garlic naan did not taste good… and so did paneer Tika Masala.. It was very average…. Lassi was really good…

Overall, it was a decent experience.. wanted to give 3.5 but gave a 4 .. for the price vs quality factor.“

“Chennai flavors is bangin… I just got the food and had to pause to write this. Got the chicken and lamb over salad and holyyy it’s good! The lamb is real lamb not that bs gyro meat.. these are actual cuts of lamb and delicious chicken. These would be delicious over some rice but I’m keto so I went salad. Great flavor and sauce it’s just good lol go buy it.“

“Visited with a group of 8 and overall had a great experience. The food was excellent, and our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions, which we really appreciated.

The only downside was the drinks. We understand that larger groups can take more time, so we were patient. However, we eventually overheard the person preparing the drinks loudly complaining that he hated making our order because it was “too hard.” Since we speak the same language, we understood everything being said, which was disappointing to hear as customers. Unfortunately, when the drinks finally arrived, they were not very good either.

I would absolutely come back for the food and the wonderful service from our waitress, but if you’re visiting with a larger group, I’d recommend keeping expectations modest when ordering specialty drinks. Hopefully this is something management can address, because the food itself deserves the praise.“

“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 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.“

“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“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

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

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

“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.“

“We ordered a chicken biryani, mutton biryani and also the chicken Tikka on rice. Both the biryani have flavourful rice and the chicken and mutton were well marinated. The chicken Tikka was tender and mildly spiced. Be sure to add the white sauce, chutney (green sauce) and also the red sauce (not spicy at all). Enjoyed our meal thoroughly. There were seats at the sides of the building where the food truck is located or you can opt to have your meals across the road at the park.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Good food reasonable prices highly recommend it“

“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.“

“Shadman Restaurant has been one of our favorite spots for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The chicken kebabs are perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the samosas are crispy, hot, and packed with flavor.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and the service is always quick. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portions you get.

If you’re looking for authentic Pakistani food in the Jersey City area, Shadman is definitely worth a visit. We’ve been coming here for a long time and will continue to be loyal customers. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend. Great customer service, ambience and great quality products. 🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“The breakfast menu is a parade of delights, featuring the ‘Keyport Special’ Breakfast Sandwich1, a local favorite that’s sure to satisfy. 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. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond ensure that every visit is memorable. For those seeking something different, Keyport Deli is also planning to introduce exotic spicy Indian food and snacks2, promising to add a vibrant new dimension to their already diverse menu. 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.

“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.“

“Tudo muuuuito gostoso!! Amei!❤“
