9 Best Indian Restaurants near Charleston

“Thank you for having Charleston Society of Horror yesterday for our monthly meeting! We had a wonderful time. The food was great, service was even better and we will be back.“

“Best Naan I've ever had, and the lime soda was divine. I have no issue paying for amazing food, but I do think this place is overpriced for what it offers. The food we had was very basic, although very good, and was double, if not triple, the price of all other Indian restaurants in the area. I loved the amount of non-alcoholic beverage options. Rice was not seasoned, which may be a regional thing. We may try it again and I'm leaving 5 stars because I know firsthand how ridiculously hard it is to start a small business, but I do think that if a restauarnt wants to appeal to higher end clients, the traditional dishes need to be more elevated.“

“We stumbled into Coterie tonight for a drink and we ended up having the absolute best time there! We will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not be disappointed!“

“Bombay India Food in Charleston is an absolute gem. From the moment the dishes arrive at the table, it is immediately clear that this is authentic, thoughtfully prepared Indian cuisine made with genuine care and craftsmanship. The flavors are vibrant, balanced, and deeply satisfying in a way that only truly homemade cooking can deliver.

The garlic naan deserves special recognition. It is, without question, the best I have ever had. Warm, perfectly blistered, and clearly made fresh in-house, the bread has the ideal balance of softness and slight crispness along the edges. The garlic is fragrant without overpowering, and the texture is exactly what great naan should be: pillowy, buttery, and irresistible. It elevates every dish it accompanies.

Equally impressive is the value. The prices are remarkably reasonable for the quality and authenticity of the food. It is rare to find homemade Indian cooking of this caliber at such accessible prices. Every plate feels generous, comforting, and crafted with pride.

Charleston has many wonderful dining options, but Bombay India Food stands out for its authenticity, warmth, and exceptional flavor. If you appreciate real Indian cuisine made from scratch, this place is absolutely worth visiting. It is the kind of restaurant you return to again and again.“

“It was so good to find this place. After living abroad, it was so great to find an authentic and tasty restaurant from Pakistan. Great service. Great menu choices. Amazing food!“
