I attended a Yelp dinner event at India Restaurant and was impressed from start to finish. The location is convenient and the spacious back room comfortably hosted around 75 guests without feeling crowded. The food was flavorful, delicious and plentiful, with so many options that there was truly something for everyone. The staff was friendly, informative and kept everything moving smoothly throughout the evening. I had visited one of India's previous locations before, so I was excited to return and try this one. Thank you for providing such a great event space and an enjoyable dinner. I will definitely be back soon! read more

We enjoy India Restaurant. It's our favorite RI spot for Indian food. They also often have free Henna available there! You can sit inside at the bar, they have booths, standard tables, as well as outdoor seating. It's a nice place without being ostentatious. The staff are courteous. We always get the same things when we go: -Mirchi margarita (spicy and delicious!) -Steamed mussels appetizer -Garlic naan (you HAVE to order this when you get the mussels. Do NOT let that broth go to waste!) -Lamb tikka masala This is usually enough to satisfy 2 adults. This last time, we had a third person and added on an extra order of garlic naan and an order of the lamb chop kabob entree. Extremely tender and would order again for a special occasion ($30 entree) read more

I bring all my friends who visit here, the food is always on point! They have a pretty outdoor patio seating area for those warm spring or summer days. Or you sit in a cozy booth inside. They even have a fireplace in one area. My favorites are the Saag Paneer and the Chicken Tikka Masala but pretty much everything I've had has been good. For apps I recommend Papri Chaat ( Indian nachos) they are crunchy, tangy and creamy with tamarind chutney and a minty yogurt sauce. The Aloo Tiki (a pan fried potato patty) topped with cilantro sauce and chutney is also delicious. They have great lunch specials where you get a massive plate of food including a main course, rice, naan, salad, soup and a dessert. Their brunch is also excellent - you can try from an array of different dishes served together on a platter. Be prepared for leftovers! Service has always been very friendly and quick. read more

Beautiful Indian restaurant. Chicken is not Halal. Goat and lamb are. Mocktails and alcohol are available. Appetizers and main entrees are really great. Food is full of flavor. Veg and non veg items are offered. They have a back room to accommodate larger parties. I see why they are one of best restaurants in the area. Check it out ! read more

Came here for a yelp event! It was my first time having Indian food in over a decade. My food choices are usually bland and boring because I can't handle any spice at all. Was very hesitant if i would eat anything here, but i found things i really liked. This was a nice surprise. Service was great and ambiance was 10/10. It is as beautiful inside as the outside is. A beautiful restaurant for sure. read more

I do love India and was excited to have lunch there today. I used to get take out from here weekly but after losing my job, I had to cut out takeout from budget. I had a gift card and a friend to join me for lunch. I got the lunch special and iced tea. We had three lunch specials, appetizers, and three nonalcoholic beverages. The lunch special is a great deal! I had the Chana masala lunch special which was tasty and the naan and tomato soup are always good. When the check I didn't look at it and gave them the gift card. They came back over and said they forgot to add the drinks to the bill so just processed it for the new amount. Lowkey that is fine, obviously we should pay for what we ordered. But I also feel like if it's your mistake that you forgot? Weird to just charge. read more

Expectations blown out water. Booth style seating with warm lights creating a cozy ambiance. Staff incredibly nice and patient when we changed our drink order last minute. Would recommend the mango white wine sangria as it's very refreshing and not too sweet. Food was delicious of course - favorite was the fresh garlic naan and the tikka masala. So glad I found this place and can't wait to bring others here read more

I am in awe-- not simply because of the beautiful atmosphere and delicious chicken tikka masala, but because I have never visited India Restaurant until today. Though it's been on my Providence bucket list for quite some time now, I'm so lucky I was able to join some Yelpers for a fantastic night here. The serving staff were so attentive and personable! I immediately started contacting friends saying they need to join me here some time. Epic time-- 1000% recommend! read more

***Door dash order. I've come accustomed to trying Indian food everywhere I go, even when it's a work trip, and I'm too tired to dine in, so I door dash. Didn't make a mistake with India Restaurant (although they could use a better name). I went all in on spice and got the chicken curry vindaloo and hot & spicy vindaloo naan bread. WHAT?! Read that again. It was freaking amazing. I may have been dying from the heat but I'll take the pain of the amazing flavor from this bread any day. Was a ton of food for the price ($26) which is way more than my solo self could devour. Tons of rice, sauce, meat, with a garnish pepper on top. YUM. read more

Yesterday two of us went to India (that is the restaurant, not the country) and as usual ordered too much, anticipating that we would inevitably take some food home. We were seated at a booth, a little tight but comfortable. We ordered cocktails which we don't usually do. My companion had a chai-tini and I had anew Delhi Nectar. Both were delicious. We also had soda water which many restaurants don't charge, but here they do. For food we had karahi ghost with wild rice - a good and delicious choice - the chicken sheesh kabob with potatoes (avoiding kale), mutter paneer and naan. All the dishes were excellent. Thiese were accompanied by raita, and mixed pickle. We like the places' decor better than any of the other Indian restaurants in RI. Our server, Olga I believe, was cheerful, helpful and attentive - making our experience more enjoyable. The check came to $125, more than usual but we took enough of it home for another meal. We will be back, which we do every two or three months. read more

- sirloin kebab was incredible!! very well flavored and tenderized to the gods - the cocktails lived up to the hype... i could have had 3 more... - the weekend lunch special was perfect to allow a wide range of options! - the lentil curry that came with the lunch special was unlike any other I had before. so refreshing, yet hearty!! i will get a whole bowl of it next time :p - everything advertised as spicy could have been more spicy (thats a me problem tho) - beautiful patio seating and interior read more

I love this place. The ambiance is inviting and their outdoor seating is a plus, where you can sit in the covered patio and overlook the park. The menu is varied and the food is always fresh. Service can sometimes be slow when they are busy but that's understandable. I enjoy trying the different cocktails, especially the one made with Jalapeños. I often walk in that area and the smells follow me down the boulevard. read more

Whilst looking in the area for possible spots to check out throughout visiting RI, I immediately bookmarked the "India Restaurant". Mainly basing on looks, favorites dishes, and menu prices. Parking isn't the best so expect to circle around the "triangle" til you find a spot. Super narrow hallway to enter and also used as an exit. We were given the options of bar seating or outdoor seating since we didn't have any reservations. We chose the bar. Bartender was very nice and friendly. She multitasked with drinks, served out meals, and checked on us. My sister and I ordered familiar dishes. We skipped on naan bread and samosas. That's hard for me because I got to have naan at least with my curries. So we wanted to give it a try plus our dishes were $20.49 each. About $3-$5 more than our norm. Thankfully it included rice and generous portion. We both found our meals to be sort of bland. She got mild and mine was mild/medium spiced. I found myself reaching for salt but only garam masala and spicy chili shakers were available at reach. It was nice to see a switch up from the normal salt and pepper. Salt would have helped our meals. We decided to finish our meals halfway and pack it up. Beautiful restaurant and very clean inside. Restroom was impressive with the all in one sink, cleanliness and thoughtfulness of mouth wash. We wouldn't mind returning as it looked very nice inside but hoping to get better taste out of the menu selection. read more

India is part of our 'regular' restaurant rotation. We always get lamb curry of one type or another. Our most recent visit was very disappointing and we hope it's a fluke. As the weather is nice the front wall is open to the front patio letting in the warm weather. We sat inside and they had the aircon blowing. The front patio is seperated from the sidewalk by a wall. The host pointed us to a table to sit at and then brought menu's over. A waitress came by, said something we didn't catch and asked what we wanted. We hadn't decided and she took a drink order. The drinks never arrived. A waiter showed up and asked if we'd like to order a drink. We explained the above, he didn't seem surprised and took care of it. We also ordered food. The lamb in both our dishes was very fatty. We both got tired of fighting for our food, trying to cut around the fat and removing the fatty bits we couldn't chew. I gave up and just left mine behind. My companion took theirs home. Disappointing. Parking is on street. Restrooms are partially automated. Ambiance is casual. Plenty of vegetarian options. Wheelchair accessible. read more

Excellent food, in a superb setting. Staff were incredible, and the flavors and spice levels were spot on.

Amazing!! Went to dinner with my mom at 6:00/6:30 on a Monday night and it had a decent amount of people there, but this place had plenty of space (indoor and outdoor seating) to accommodate and the service does NOT lack because of it :) We ordered the Naan with onion and cilantro topping which was so good and honestly was my favorite part of the meal. I dipped it in the lemon-cilantro chutney, that came with my entree, and it got even better somehow. I got the chicken sheesh kabob (3 kabobs) with came with kale salad, chutney, and basmati rice. The chicken was great and perfectly seasoned. It came with some roasted onions and peppers and grilled pineapple on the kabob as well. Wasn't a fan of the kale salad, but I don't like kale so don't take my word for it. My mom, however, loved the salad! The other entree was tandoori chicken which comes with kale salad, chutney, and she chose zesty potatoes. I thought the potatoes were okay, cooked perfectly though. My mom loved the potatoes, so it's all preference. The tandoori chicken was great as well. It has 1 chili pepper next to it on the menu but it really isn't hot at all. Really great atmosphere and really nice staff. The service was super quick. Would absolutely come here again and definitely recommend! read more

We went to have lunch around 3pm . We were greeted and seated promptly by the window . We able to enjoy the comfort of being inside while still having an outside breeze and feel the sun through the opening from the patio. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken kabobs from the lunch menu . I had the ginger chai and my partner had the mint honey ice tea . Their chai is my favorite drink to order. It's warm and soothing. The ice tea is refreshing and lightens the palette . The lunch specials have a great variety at a good price. Even providing a sweet treat through the almond rice pudding . The kabobs were well seasoned but a little on the dry side . We waited a while for the check but we weren't in any real rush and were comfortable with the inside/outside ambiance. read more

A local institution. This place attracted my attention because of their Diwali specials. Those were apparently mostly for dinner and I stopped in for lunch, but nonetheless was treated to a robust thali. A single platter included not only an entrée but soup, dessert, salad, rice and bread. A ginger chai delivered a fresh sheet of ginger on the first sip that faded by the end. My chickpeas were ample in flavor and combined well with the other ingredients for a nutritionally and texturally diverse lunch. The place had ample indoor and outdoor seating and quick service, so it was no surprise that it was busy even in the middle of the week. read more

Genuinely loved my experience here. Food was AMAZING, I got the Saag paneer, my sister order Chicken korma, and my boyfriend order a sirloin sheesh kabob. 10/10 The saag truly felt like it was just melting my mouth and hugging every taste bud. The sheesh kabob genuinely blew my mind, I never knew something could taste that amazing. The chicken korma was so homey, the chicken was buttery smooth. The atmosphere was inviting and welcoming, I loved our waitress she was truly amazing, she checked in on us regularly, made us feel welcomed, and was super sweet. Even the plating of the food felt like a master piece. You get an abundance of food. I wish I had a big enough stomach to eat everything. Definitely will come back again!! read more

First time here and won't be our last. Our server was Great. Very helpful and attentive. The food was outstanding. We started with a 1/2 basket of Naan assorted and was it delicious and Huge! The savory flavor of the onion naan was divine. The Vindaloo was spicy but not just heat full of flavor! The Aloo Tikki - potato pancake was Delicious!!! On to Dinner - our daughter ordered the Karahi Ghost - goat curry was amazing, full of flavor and yummy! The wife got the Vindaloo with chicken, very flavorful and tasty and a little spicy. I ordered the seafood coconut and it was Great, the shrimp were Huge and the swordfish was tender and the mussels were savory. The atmosphere was great nice lighting and neat decorations all over, very relaxing. My wife and daughter actually got henna in the restaurant as there was a lady doing it for free. They tipped her nicely. Thank you for a great dining experience and my first at an Indian restaurant! We shall be back! read more

A great weekend lunch stop! It was very busy when we got there around noon on a Saturday, so we ate at the bar. The food was pretty good for Indian food in the area. The best part was the brunch deal that let you try a little bit of multiple dishes. Love the optionally! The only downside was that it took a little bit of time to get service. We were sitting for almost 10 minutes before someone came over to help us. The service was great after that, so I am chalking it up to the lunch rush. Just be aware that you might have to wait a little bit to get service if you get there at a bad time. read more

The place had great reviews, and our first visit lived up to it. The aloo paratha was simple and homey (like something your grandma would make), and the paneer kebab had a nice smoky flavor though I wish the chunks were smaller for better masala coverage. The tomato shorba was decent but heavy on coconut, which isn't really my thing. The service was really good. They had a henna artist who would paint henna for you for free. We went back the next day, but the experience was mixed. The dal makhani felt more like plain black lentils in gravy, and the paneer paratha was just average. The thandai, though, was fantastic ,super flavorful and refreshing. Overall, a good spot for Indian food, but the second visit didn't quite match the first. read more

This is in my top two favorite Indian restaurants by far. I've been here numerous times over the years, for both buffet and sit-down lunches/ dinners, and the quality of the food has consistently blown me away! The service is always prompt and kind, and I personally find the decor to be beautiful. The only con here is parking, which is to be expected given the busy location. You'll definitely have to park on the street, and probably circle around a few times to find a spot. read more

Arguably my favorite restaurant in Providence, definitely for weekend brunch! Caveat being that I havent been here during dinners, but the weekend thali option is fantastic - smaller portions of 3 curries + rice + naan + salad + desert. Price did go up in the past year, but I think it's still a bargain at under $20. My go-to's are saag paneer (cheese and spinach curry), punjabi chole (tomato-based chickpea curry), and of course chicken tikka masala. if you like spicy, their lamb vindaloo is also solid and the lamb chop kabob is super tender and flavorful, although a smaller portion for $2 extra. highly recommend giving this place a try if you like indian food or want to expand your weekend brunch options! read more

Ordered takeout on Saturday night. Service was prompt. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience with outdoor seating decorated with flowers which adds a nice touch. We ordered their famous lamp chops which comes with a side of kale salad and basmati rice. Also got a aloo paratha. The lamp chops were delicious. The paratha was much larger than usual and came fully stuffed with aloo masala which justified the pricier $12 cost. The menu overall was limited compared to most Indian restaurants. Would definitely come back for a dine-in experience and to explore other items on the menu. There is ample street parking in front of the restaurant and few reserved spots for curbside pickup which is nice. read more

Visited Rhode Island and saw terrific reviews of this Indian restaurant! The ambience was top notch with huge Indian paintings on the walls and beautiful chandeliers depicting the royal part of India. The servers were pretty nice and warm and were constantly checking on us. Food was flavorful and we ordered brunch thali which consisted of 3 curries, one kheer (dessert), half naan, salad and lentils. Lamb kabab was really good. Chicken kabab was also good. Didn't like paneer kabab much though. If you are in providence I would highly recommend to visit there. read more
