11 Best Indian Restaurants near Gainesville

“Pakwaan Indian Cuisine in Gainesville is an outstanding choice for a family meal. Visiting with four family members, we were warmly welcomed into a spotless, inviting, and modern space, setting the tone for a relaxing evening together. The staff's hospitality was top-notch—friendly and attentive throughout our visit. For drinks, we enjoyed their refreshing mango lassi and, for the adults, a round of thoughtfully crafted cocktails from the bar—each beverage paired perfectly with our meal and added a special touch to our dinner. Appetizer highlights included the papadum with flavorful chutneys, crispy samosas, and the sought-after chili chicken—all served hot, fresh, and packed with authentic Indian spices. Our main courses were equally memorable. The classic chicken tikka masala and chicken madras came out bursting with flavor and were complemented beautifully by fragrant basmati rice and soft, garlicky naan. Vegetarian standouts like dal tadka, paneer makhani, and palak paneer truly impressed the whole family, demonstrating authenticity and skill in every bite. To finish, the kheer dessert delighted everyone at the table. Highly recommended for families looking to treat themselves in Gainesville VA.“

“Love the food and ambience was also amazing ❤️“

“Ambience, quality of food and hospitality are awesome. Only complain I have about the portions of servings especially appetizers. For example, Chicken Sequawa, excellent item and the appetizers called “shareable appetizers “ and the price of that is $16.99 and it came with 6 small pieces of grill chicken. No doubt about the teste. I was expecting at least fill up the box you are delivering with. It’s half filled. I called restaurant and suggested to change the box size or fill up at least so that I don’t fill the box is half empty.“
