50 Best Indian Restaurants near Sunnyside

“It's good, but, since I am a Nepali and have tried their food back home, I'd say it's not the same as it was back home. But, then again, ingredients change the taste, so, I would say this place is worth trying and you never know you might love the food. :)“

“Love Tangra! The food is always so fresh and tasty, and the service is great every time. Everyone is really friendly, and the atmosphere is nice and comfortable. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I want really good food. Highly recommend!!!“

“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC and a big step up from the sister restaurant Semma. The food here is delicious, satisfying, with decent portions and excellent presentation. The food is great, and it’s a special experience. Staff are friendly, the service is great. The cocktails are presented very nicely, but nothing wowed us. I’m here for the food and the service - and I couldnt be happier with that!“

“Best food ever“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

“The gentleman that waited on our table was excellent! The food was flavorful and delicious!!“

“INCREDIBLE Indian food experience in New York! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. It was incredible! The server was very sweet and warned that while the Mango Lassi cocktail was delicious it was very sweet, she suggested a Mango Majito instead, which was absolutely DELICIOUS and not overly sweet at all.

The owner Syed came over and introduced himself, he personally thanked me for coming to his restaurant and offered me a free dessert, which was delicious as well.

Absolutely cannot recommend Cloves enough! I am very excited to bring my Indian food loving family in to enjoy!“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“An excellent hidden gem in the midst of busy midtown. A touch of mystery behind velvet curtains where felt red booth couches await in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The set up is chic and not cluttered with tables well spaced for the quiet work lunch. We went for restaurant week, and had the chicken tandoori starter which was perfectly spiced and delicious, followed by lamb curry which was tender, soaked in flavour, accompanied by garlic naan and rice. Staff are friendly and service oriented, in lusing the host. I cannot fault anything. Will definitely make this a regular spot to try the other items on the menu.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife, our dog, and I came in for dinner and had an amazing experience from start to finish! The service was exceptional, and the owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind.

We ordered the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, mango lassi, garlic & chili naan vegetable and chicken samosas, gulab jamun, and even received a delicious rice pudding on the house. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, the food was so good that I forgot to take pictures before digging in!

The flavors were incredible, the portions were generous, and every dish was made with care. I walked out feeling like I had gained 10 pounds—but it was worth every bite!

10/10 experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding hospitality. ❤️🍽️ #theyarepetfriendly 🐶“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the great meal I had here. I would give it 5 stars but one of appetizers was below par (pani puri)but the rest of the dishes were excellent. The Hoth paan drink was super tasty!! Worth going to even though a tad expensive but it’s NYC!“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

I am glad we came to this restaurant. We are gonna come again. My date night, ended with the best food I had in NY so far. Cheers for the restaurant, and double cheers for Amandeep“

“Came to check out this spot based on the hype from my friends, and our experience was that the food was nice but nothing crazy. Starting off, the service and ambiance were good.
Here is what we ordered:
Fried Fish: Was nothing special. We expected something amazing since it's one of the most expensive appetizers.
Aloo Chaat: This was good.
Chicken Dum Biryani: Very flavorful and our clear favorite of the night.
Dal Makhni with Roti: The dal makhni tasted authentic.
Rose milk was just try too
Overall, it was a nice experience.“

“Semma in New York City is widely celebrated for its heritage-focused approach, bringing rare and authentic Southern Indian flavors to a stylish, relaxed setting.“

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

“I had my birthday party with Passerine and it was incredible! The event coordinator McQueenie, all the waitstaff, our server Catie, the host and sommelier, every single person was absolutely amazing. Some of the best service I have ever received and the food was divine.

I highly recommend the aloo dumplings and cabbage. They surprised me the most. The cook on all the meat was beyond perfect. The beef melted in my mouth and the chicken was perfectly tender. Chef Shetty is a genius. We had a 3 course prix fixe and they printed custom menus for me with my name in the header! That was a lovely souvenir for us to take home. Every dish was 10/10. Thank you Passerine for the best birthday!

Passerine is vegetarian and halal friendly. They also have mocktails and teas for those that don't drink!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Veeray da Dhaba. The food was packed with authentic Punjabi flavors and tasted just like a home-cooked meal. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the biryani was perfectly seasoned, and the naan was fresh and soft. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive and friendly. A fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious North Indian cuisine in NYC.“

“the customer service was amazing! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday here and it was fantastic! The food was delicious and perfectly spicy just as requested. The Chicken lal pari was tender and well-marinated, and the Chicken Parda Biryani served in the traditional clay pot was a highlight—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Red Chilli Special Mix Grill. All dishes were absolutely delicious. The presentation, with the floral garnishes and elegant table setting, added such a nice touch to the meal.
Special thanks to Anuj, Dominic, Harsh, and Fahim for their incredible hospitality. They truly went above and beyond to make our celebration extra special. Thank you so much. Highly recommend for any occasion!“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“From the outside, one might think this a food hall of sorts. Its definitely more of a hub for food delivery services. There were countless pickup orders and, including us, 2 other tables that came to sit and eat. The atmosphere has grande ceilings with floor to ceiling windows with bar seating running along and maybe 8 tables. There are hard-copy menus and touchscreen stations to order but the choices are countless; resulting in a time consuming firt-timer experience. There's 1 kitchen that pumps out separate restaurant menu items. The food was ok. I got a Mexican-style chicken bowl that was crossed with another restaurants curry chicken; bites here and there were different. My husband got an Asian-style chicken fried rice bowl that came out cold. 2nd attempt was saturated in sesame oil and inedible. We didn't realize it at the time but Amex Gold got rid of Goldbelly, replaced by Wonder; big mistake in our opinion as Goldbelly is worldwide and Wonder is limited to big-city access for a lesser quality product.“

“The food and service were both excellent. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The samosas were delicious, the sauces were great, and the coconut chicken with coconut naan was especially amazing. Really glad I stopped in and supported this place.“

“It’s usually pretty quiet here when I tend to go for lunch. The service has always been great and attentive. The portions are big I can rarely finish what I order. The best part is the pricing - I typically order a main with rice & naan and a couple glasses of wine and I always feel like I’m getting a deal. Definitely recommend!“

“Finally visited Bungalow today after almost a year in waiting. It was one of the best dining experiences , we ever had. The food and the drinks along with their service was amazing. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Vikas Khanna himself brought their complimentary signature orange mousse, which was more than delicious. Seeing him interact with every single guest in the restaurant was so heart warming. A really humble and friendly person. Wishing him and his team all the very best.“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“It was an extremely rainy day and we walked in without a reservation. Major props to the main guy who gave us a table despite the extremely busy Saturday night.

Food was average though -

Mocktails were great!“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Incredible restaurant and food! Chandu had great service and overall highly recommend!“

“Food was fabulous. We had a large party and tried their lamb chops, Okra, daal and bbq chicken with real charcoal flavor. Fresh tandoori roti just made everything better.show stopper was the gulab jamun créme burlee. I visit aroqa eventide I am in NYC. Their drinks are next level, taste and presentation both.“

“Unsuspecting, but amazing little spot for dosas.

I occasionally travel for work to Pune, Maharastra so, I definitely crave good Indian whenever I can find it. My boss knew of this spot (don’t ask me how).

It’s unassuming (in the basement of a temple) and the prices are accordingly quite humble (amazing given the location).

We started with vadas that came with unique, not that spicy green chutney and a pretty spicy sambar.

Then, on to dosas. I’m usually a masala dosa guy, but tried a Rava Dosa for the for the first. I think I may have a new favorite. It’s takes a bit longer, but the semolina base makes a really nice texture.

Everything was spicy and warm - as good as the food I love in India.

Should you find yourself here and you enjoy good Indian food, you should definitely stop in.“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“Went for the Holi lunch. The food was really amazing—hats off to the chef for such delicious dishes. However, the lunch service was not well managed. We were asked to arrive a little early so everyone could start lunch at 1 pm, but the food was served about 40 minutes late. We had to wait for quite a long time, which was disappointing.

It would have been much better if some snacks or even the mango lassi (which was part of the lunch) had been served when guests arrived so that people didn’t have to stay hungry while waiting for the food.

The food quality was excellent, but improving service, management, and punctuality would make the overall experience truly amazing. 😊“

“Had dinner here with a friend and really enjoyed the meal. Saag Panner and chicken Korma were especially terrific. We ordered on appetizer that wasn’t what we expected and the owner and the chef came over and explained the dish and suggested an alternative which they gladly swapped out. Service was terrific. Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“I ordered the chicken masala and veggie biryani. Chicken masala was Great! There was an Indian spice in the veggie biryani that I never had it before. The manager/owner was very nice/understanding and replaced my veggie order with a lamb dish which I prefer. I will definitely dine in and order for delivery , and can't wait to try other dishes. Thank you!“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“The food was plentiful and so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“Service was impeccable! We ordered take out at the restaurant, but they let us sit at the bar and offered a glass of water. Both of our curries were outstanding, rice was standard, but the naan was a bit chewy. The nice gentlemen even gave us a complementary mango lassi! Will be coming back if we’re in NYC again. 😊“
