55 Best Indian Restaurants in the U.S.

Let’s take a closer look at the best Indian restaurants in the U.S. JoeGough / Getty Images

Indians are the second-largest immigrant population in the United States. Besides bringing culture and diversity with them, American Indians have given the country something very valuable: food. 

Indian food is incredibly popular around the world. Its richness in flavor, its fragrant spices and its wide variety make it — in our book — one of the best cuisines that exist. Luckily, in the U.S., you’re very likely to have access to delicious Indian cuisine no matter where you are. 

Here are the 55 best Indian restaurants in the U.S.

Himalayan Bistro serves delicious Indian and Nepali food at very reasonable prices. A neighborhood favorite, the restaurant’s lunch special draws in a faithful crowd seeking to be filled and satisfied without having to empty their pockets. 

We recommend ordering momos, one of the most delicious Nepali appetizers, while the Goa shrimp curry is a particularly good entree.

54. Baar Baar

Bottom Line: Baar Baar

We can imagine people over a certain age complaining about Baar Baar, a place that really does the most to impress with a cool vibe (maybe a little too much). The industrial setting matches its vibe, which is only enhanced by a large mural of an Indian woman right on the wall.

On weekends, the restaurant hosts a “Bollywood brunch,” complete with a live DJ and MC who will definitely encourage you to dance at some point. Try the paneer chili or Brussels sprouts foogath.
