The Most Flavorful Indian in Orlando

Naan Stopp

★★★★☆ 4.4 (123) • $$

"Vote for best Indian in town! No joke. Not only is dine in great but take out also hits the spot. They are a tad on the pricey end but compared to other spots, I'm happy to pay the premium for good quality food. Butter Chicken or tiki masala is a great place to start, get naan with it (obviously) and somosas are a great starter."

Tawa Modern Indo-Pak Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (50)

"I love coming to this restaurant; the food is yummy and the service is quick and friendly. I came in for their buffet, and each dish was hot and delicious. The servers kept bringing fresh naan and pooris, & had fresh chai available. 10/10"

Shiva Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$

"I love strolling around Mount Dora and trying new restaurants, I stumbled upon Shiva Indian Restaurant and was excited. The outside was beautiful, I loved the decor and all the beautiful detail they took the time to put in the restaurant. The service was ok, the young lady was new so she was trying but we kept having to flag her down for drink refills and little things you would ask for if she checked in. There was a man that was very helpful. I apologize I did not get their names. The food was subpar, I enjoy trying new Indian restaurants and I get the same thing every time. Lamb samosa, Chicken tikka masala and lamb biriyani. The tikka needed more spices, it was bland and the same for the biriyani. I will say after asking for the yogurt sauce, I was able to eat the biriyani. I samosa was ok lacked seasoning. Overall, I'm not sure it's a restaurant I have to return to as there are so many more to try but I won't say never."

"Wonderful outing with family while walking down park avenue. Food and service was impeccable. The variety of flavors and the smell , it's like you closed your eyes and woke up in India. My friends have raved about this restaurant and I'm so glad we decided to try. Planning on coming again next week with the kids!"

New Punjab Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (238) • $$

"I was very pleased with the quality of food at New Punjab Indian Restaurant. They have been at this location since 1988 and serve authentic Indian food. The restaurant is clean and their servers are attentive.I ordered Paani Poori as an appetizer and vegetable masala as my entree. The Paani Poori came with tamarind chutney and spiced water. It was delicious!!! I will definitely order it again. The vegetable masala was the best that I have had. The tomato base sauce was rich tasting and served at the heat level that I requested. They loaded it with cut peppers, string beans, peas, carrots, corn and cauliflower. I enjoyed all of it...especially the cauliflower."

Clay Oven Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (175) • $$

"This was one of our favorite meals in Orlando. The food and service were good. We had vegetables with our meal, and food tasted fresh.For checking in through Yelp, we got a discount which was awesome!We ate:Vegetable samosas- tasty, chutneys were outstandingMasala Dal Tadka- goodVegetable dish with spinach (I don't know it's name)-amazingGarlic naan-greatbasmati rice- goodEverything was really good!"

Kabab King

★★★★☆ 3.8 (36)

"4 stars for some solid Pakistani food! Kabab King offers a buffet on Saturday if you wanna try a little of everything, it's $16.99 pp. We didn't want so much food so we ordered off the regular menu, it's nice that you're still able to order off the menu while they have the buffet.There's a free soda with yelp check-in, I didn't notice until now. Lol. For food we started out with the Karachi Special Chaat, $6.99. It's chick peas with a bunch of Indian style sauces, think plum sauce, mint and the yogurt, topped with fried papdi. So unique, we loved it and use the sauce for our bread. Chapli Kabab was the next thing we tried, $12.99. It was two minced meat patties with pomegranate, on top of white onion on a skillet. It was good but for the price, a side of rice would be nice to accompany it. For bread we got the Afghani bread, $3.99. It's basically similar to naan but has sesame on it.Overall we left feeling satisfied we didn't waste our cheat meal. This place is definitely worth trying if you've never tried Pakistani food! Service was really quick too!"

The Madras Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (272) • $$

"If you're looking for a vegetarian place then this is the perfect spot!Almost every dish I have gotten here has been great. My favorite is their curries! The kadai bhindi masala (okra), aloo palak (spinach and potato), and aloo gobi (cauliflower) were great. Get a garlic naan to dip into their sauce and you will be full. I did try their house special thalis but felt like curry was a better option. With so many small samples of everything and not knowing what I was eating it was difficult to tell what sauce goes with what etc. Def need to try all their other dishes."

Indian Pavilion

★★★★★ 4.8 (22)

"We chose to dine during the weekend for their daily buffet which runs from 11am - 3pm. I found the restaurant to be clean and modern and offered a good variety of options for lunchtime. The buffet price was $22.99 per person. They offered meat dishes along with some vegetarian, even vegan options. I loved that they had Pani Puri on the buffet, it was a great touch. I do wish that the Pav Bhaji was served warm instead of cold. Service was good, they kept refilling the buffet. Overall, a good lunch option to try different Indian dishes in the Winter Garden area."

Woodlands Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (421) • $$

"Hands down, best meal I've had in forever! So heart warming, cozy and delicious. It's been years since I've been here and I got to share it with my friend for their first time! We left so stuffed and happy! We started with the appetizer plate, which gives you a little bit of everything to share. We chose the Aloo Gobi and Vegetable Korma curries, which came with white rice. Definitely get the garlic naan and batura (the large puffy bread). We got the Batam halwa for dessert.I'll definitely be bringing more friends here"

Bawarchi Biryanis

★★★★☆ 3.6 (149) • $$

"I've had this before from leftovers my bf brought back and enjoyed the lamb biryani! Even after being reheated it tasted pretty good. Then we came back to dine in again. We got the chili paneer, butter chicken, lamb tikka masala, and kadai paneer, and an order of samosas. My favorite dish was definitely the lamb tikka masala! Even tho I'm not a huge fan of lamb, it tasted so savory and flavorful and the meat was melting into the sauce. The butter chicken also amazed me and had a depth of flavor that I've never tasted from Indian restaurants in east Orlando. My kadai paneer had a nice spice to it, but the oil kinda overpowered things and I'd also get bites of whole spices which threw me off. I enjoyed it just be prepared for some grease. Also would recommend the chili paneer just to share, though honestly just the main dishes are filling. Everything you see here was around $100 without tip. Indian food in my opinion is notoriously expensive for the portions so not super surprising but wish we got a little bigger portions. I gave 4 stars bc even tho we enjoyed the food the service was quite slow and inattentive despite the restaurant, which means be prepared to wait for checkout. Oh and cups were also plastic red solo cups ??? Seemed odd for an decently priced and nicely decorated place."

Indian Hut - Orlando

★★★★☆ 3.5 (132) • $$

"Locate in the Kirkman shopping center there's usually plenty of parking. You can't really tell if they're open from the road because sometimes they leave the open sign on all the time so let's start with the appearance. It's very outdated style or decor. Everything is just old and out to say it nicely , so we ordered a few different things chicken 65 butter chicken andouille we got our order in the young man didn't tell us that was sold separately so we had to make another purchase for rice. This is an Indian food restaurant and Indian food restaurant. Do they charge additional for rice? Yes it's only $2.15, but why are you charging additional for something that's traditionally, eaten with dish???The service was all right. The guy in the front was a very nice guy possibly a little shy extremely hot. If you eaten the temperature inside of the restaurant is extremely hot however, I did notice they had a lot of to go orders. I mean, if you're in a pension, you really want some Indian food ."

Cilantro Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (70)

"We visited Cilantro for the first time and had a good experience overall. The atmosphere was better than I thought it would be, but I still wish the dining room wasn't just one big room with tables side by side by side. Some dividers would really enhance the ambiance. They had a good menu selection -- both for carnivores and herbivores. I ordered the Vindaloo chicken and my friends ordered the Butter Chicken and Vegetable Korma. They all tasted fantastic and came in a bowl for scooping. We were asked if we wanted rice or pita with it. We all ordered pita, but also ordered one bowl of rice as a side item for us all to share. TBH, the rice was probably the better option because the dishes are all very liquidy/soupy, and we ran out of pita for dipping or scooping long before we were finished. Mine didn't seem to have a lot of chicken and what I thought were chicken ended up being potato, but maybe I just didn't realize. And when we ordered the pita, we were asked if we wanted plain, garlic, or butter. One of my friends asked about a cheese version because she had it before. The server said there was an upcharge and she was cool with that. The rest of us ordered garlic pita. When the bills came, all of us were charged for a $1.50 upcharge on the pita. I didn't realize garlic pita was an upcharge. It wasn't presented that way, and I don't like surprises with my bill. Be upfront with me about what I'm paying for, please. So, like I said, we had a good experience overall, but I'd be a bit more selective on what I order next time and specifically ask about upcharges (if any)."

Tabla Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"-Parking free and plentiful-Lovely, attentive service-Nice, diverse menu-clean -Beautiful ambiance So why the 4? The fish curry contained almost no fish. I would either raise the price and add more fish, or I'd use a cheaper fish and keep the price. But as-is, I didn't think it was worth the price due to portion. The taste was very nice. I'd order again but with shrimp. Samosas just ok. Probably wouldn't get that again. Chana Masala was fine. It's different than anything I'd had before. I liked it a lot. My husband didn't care for it. Onion kulcha was delicious."

Pav Boti & Juice

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Great quality but, as a half Spanish person $7 is way overpriced for mini empanadas we pay no more that $3 for one 3x as big at any Spanish truck or restaurant. I will say the chicken tenders are the best in this area so far! The fries are tasty as well!"

Dada Indian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.8 (22)

"We really enjoyed the food selection in this restaurant. We went for their lunch buffet and it was so worth it. Its $16 per person and 5yo below is free. Theirs grilled chicken, butter chicken, naan bread and many more. For the drinks I got my favorite mango lassi and it was refreshing. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive crew. I can't wait to go back!"

Persis indian grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (62)

"This has got to be the nicest looking Indian restaurant in this area! I loved the Indian music videos playing on the TV. We ordered the Garlic Naan which was sooo good, I ended up ordering another. The butter chicken was delicious and the sauce was perfect with rice and the naan. We also got the Paneer Tikka Masala and that was okay. The best dish here is hands down the Lamb Biryani, very aromatic and flavorful. The Lamb was tender and spiced perfectly. The Mango Lassi was good but the Mango Custard was even better, wish it was a bit larger though.I wish they had a lunch special here as it can be pricey but it is definitely quality food. The food and the ambiance make this place my go to choice for Indian food in Lake Mary."

Amber Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (76) • $$

"My sister and her family took a week trip to Disney recently, so I came and joined them. My sister and I stole away to have lunch, and I wanted to show her Indian food. She had never had it before, can you believe that? So I did a quick search, found Amber, and off we went. The ambiance was pretty ok. It's in the middle of a strip mall. But inside is classic mom 'n' pop Indian place. Desi music, that pungent smell in the air of magnificent spices, everything you need. Service was also great. The guy was very friendly, made good conversation, and the food came out very timely. No issues there.As for the food, I ordered what I thought would be best for an Indian newbie. Some veggie samosas, the butter chicken, a shrimp biryani, and a garlic butter naan. Everything was pretty standard. Nice crisp samosas with a piping hot filling, creamy butter chicken, the quality of the chicken itself was a little questionable, but the curry more than makes up for that, very fragrant and flavorful perfect biryani, I always recommend a biryani, and a delicious warm, crispy naan to eat everything with. What a feast. Overall, if you're looking for basic Indian food and are willing to pay Kissimmee prices, you can't go wrong with Amber. I'd come back."

Memories of India

★★★★☆ 4.1 (251) • $$

"Stopped in for Sunday lunch and was saddened to hear that the brunch stopped during covid. I decided on the appetizer Nawambi Lukme combo ($15.25) for my meal plus an order of butter naan ($3.25). The selection of the huge samosas was fresh and steaming, chickpea floured veggie pakoras were tasty, the lamb sheekh kabob was filled with spices and flavors but the chicken Tikka were a touch dry. Also ordered the mango Lassi ($6). Our server was a bit quick with wanting to get our orders going, but there is so much to consider that it always takes a minute to look through it. Once we were halfway through our meals, someone had ordered a fresh off the grill plate that left a trail of deliciousness in the air. Dang, it smelled good."

Singh's Roti Shop & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (243) • $$

"Fast service and friendly people; thats correct friendly. I know sometimes it's a busy place but this morning it was quiet and the service was excellent. We ordered a few dishes separately to try with a single Roti to share amongst my wife and myself. Food ordered: Single Roti with smoked herring;Baigan choka; salt fish; pumpkin; stewed oxtail . Delicious and well tempered. The Baigan choka could have used a bit of garlic and a bit more pepper.. other than that we ate half of everything and finished the roti. The oxtail definitely was luxurious in tase with great depth of flavor. Smoked herring had a nice spicy kick. Pumpkin had a good sweet flavor and not watery. Salt fish dish was cooked with additional spinach which compliments the salt perfectly. Now this is not a Michelin rated restaurant but let's remember if your mother didn't teach you how to cook West Indian food then you should come here and enjoy the next best option in central Florida. Parking: large parking lot and no trouble finding the restaurant or its entrance."

Curry bowl

★★★★☆ 4.3 (172) • $$

"Great flavors and lots of vegan options. The atmosphere is very pretty with many Indo-Chinese accents. Our waitress, Rosy, was super attentive and help us choose some really awesome dishes. We enjoyed an eggplant dish and a vegetable noodle entree. Both were spiced to our liking (medium heat). It is always nice to support a woman owned business. We will look forward to returning the next time we are in Maitland Florida."

Persis Indian Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"I came for lunch by myself. I was greeted immediately with a warm smile. I looked over the menu and saw many familiar entrées. I asked what they thought was the best item on the menu. The server asked a few questions about my preferences and we landed on the goat curry. It was great. It was spicy, but not too spicy and had a great flavor. The garlic Naan was a great side for the meal.Throughout the meal, I was checked on and had my water refilled a couple of times. I felt attended to without being pestered.The restaurant has a modern open feel due to the layout of the dining area and the tables used. There was a large flat screen with videos of Bollywood songs. The music was audible without being loud and overbearing."

Awwal Curry House

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"I give this a three out of 5 mostly for the food sake. I have had Indian food at multiple places, and this chicken curry just didn't sell it for me. I know a lot of people like this place so maybe it's just a taste preference but I just didn't think it was that great. I didn't taste the warm curry spices like you get in a curry nor that coconut milk base. I will say that the owners wife who was working was so sweet and kind and would give her 10 stars if I could!! She made sure I was well taken care of the entire time :)"

Mirchi Indian Street Food

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"A trendy Indian vegetarian street food place. Colorful ambiance. The tables remind of old classic indian advertisements. Everything we tried was good. The menu is pretty good with lots of street food items like Frankie, Vada Paav, Samosa Paav, Pani Puri, Chaat etc. Will definitely visit again to try some different dishes. The service can be a little faster. Every food item came one at a time with long gaps in between."
