Loved the Fish Curry with basmati rice and the Assorted Snacks from the appetizer menu (two samosas with onion baji, veg pakoras and two chutneys that could have been a meal by itself). Need to bring my own compostable to go box next time!

The raita was not fresh. It was sour as if it was kept for days. I ordered two tandoori roti, I received only one. Vegetable pakoras were tasteless. Dal was not tasty. Gulabjamun was good. Chai was good.

Golden India offers a cozy, authentic experience that truly hits the spot. The staff was incredibly courteous, greeting us with warm smiles the moment we walked in — and we were seated immediately with no wait.
We started with the vegetable samosas (so good we ate them before snapping a pic!) and ordered lamb curry, garlic naan, and basmati rice for our entrees. The food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. Both the quality and quantity earn five stars.
While the venue may feel a bit dated, it has that nostalgic charm—like stepping into one of your great-grandparents’ favorite historic spots. It feels like they’ve chosen to keep the history alive, and honestly, it adds to the experience.
If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Memphis with flavor, hospitality, and heart—Golden India is the spot.

Yesterday placed carry out for Tandoori chicken, 2 thighs and 2 legs the chicken was very tough unable to eat.Called today spoke with person that answer phone explain to him chicken was too tough to eat, he said because I purchase on yesterday that was the reason the chicken was tough. Make sure taste and check carry out orders before leaving this resturant. I will not return or recommend to this resturant !

We love the food. We order it to-go all the time. It's made fresh, so you will be waiting a little while for the food. We always get the rice with Chicken Masala. I get mild, and my husband gets medium. Medium is the spiciest he can go.

I love the The authentic flavor and spice that this restaurant has compared to most Indian restaurants in Memphis that are good but nothing like this and can sometimes be bland. Highly recommend when you're in midtown.
Excellent, authentic, high-quality food Friendly service

The inside is super cute and their food is delicious. Try the paneer masala! Plenty of food, perfect to share, and a good value!

This place was horrible. I haven't been here in a long time. I ordered chai tea which had a horrible flavor to it. I usually order two cups because it's usually good but I only drank a half of a cup. Plus the sugar packet container the server gave me was filthy. The wood trim around the windows look like it had roach droppings. I ordered medium korma that had no flavor at all it was very bland. I also had the mint sauce that was very warm and had an odd taste. It was horrible. The container it came in look like it was used. The door to the kitchen looked greasy and dirty. I am never returning to this place again. I should have turned around when I saw that I was the only person in the restaurant. It's safe to say....I'm never returning back to this restaurant. I wish I could give it zero stars.
