Reviews of India Avenue (Restaurant)

Fiona Slater

Great food and quiet atmosphere Staff makes great recommendations without being pushy!

Abhishek Kumar

I visit this place at least once a month. I think this is the best Indian restaurant in Stamford/Greenwich area. Has good selection of Indian dishes even for vegetarians. Also recommend it for Indo Chinese and Tandoori. Gobi Manchurian is favorite for my five year daughter.

Dino Rivera

Indian Chic with a great menu. Best to reserve a table during weekends. The lunch specials are delicious and reasonable.

D Bruce

Their food was excellent. Easily the best in the area and probably the best cooked Indian I've had in as far as I can remember. Will return.

Dragonmilk X

A bit pricey, but our favorite Indian restaurant in the area.

Ressi Miranda

Great food! Honestly, I would go back any day. There are great vegan options, ask away. The food is consistent in flavor. The owner is very nice and he is extremely hard working. You can see the effort he puts into his restaurants.

Kevin Ertel

Very good Indian food. Friendly attentive staff.

Athira Nair

This place has great ambience, tasty food and friendly staff. I felt the food is a little expensive, but considering all the above factors its good.

N Bennett

Food was good

Suranjit Mukhopadhyay

For certain reason the quality has been deteriorated!

Reuben Dass

Good quality food, reasonable prices. I like the lunch promo. I usually order take out from this restaurant. I love this place and I love The Mumbai Times too. The menu is kind of similar to The Mumbai Times, but India Avenue is a lot closer to my office

Alexander Fraj

Very good place with great indian food.

michala jajcayová

Just tried for first time and I’m blown away! One of the absolute best Indian cuisine I have ever tried. So tasty, fresh, balanced, simply quilting food for amazing price. Lunch menu is a steal!! Also staff is very friendly, courteous, helpful and professional! Not even talking about good atmosphere and very chic interior. I’m so happy I found this hidden gem of lower Fairfield county!!! Mia

Debs Rep

We ordered the samosas, chicken tikka masala, papadums, Gobi Manchurian and naan..it was ALL delicious! We will definitely order here again!

Suyash Jain

i like this place.good indian food

Kelly Chen

I get lunch here at least once a week. The lunch special is awesome! Good price + good food. Dinner is a about 8% pricier than other indian restaurants within 15miles radius, but that's ok, I'll just go there for lunch. My favorite are lamb vindaloo & lamb roganjosh ($11.95). The 5-star is based on the quality of the lunch. The deco is nice too, but the lunch is really, really, really good!!

Ahmed Abdullah

Amazing chicken vindaloo

Kathy Sabanski

Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere.

R Galt

Being a huge fan of Indian cuisine I simply couldn't find a restaurant in the local area that was up to my standards. My search is over. This place is a GEM. Wonderful staff with the freshest, tastiest Indian food I've ever had. Can't wait to visit again soon.

JKum G

Good food and good service.

kanna rama

Yummy Indian food with a beautiful decor!! Lunch special at 8.99 is the best deal for such a tasty and fresh food!!!

Nicole Carrick

I love this place! Food is always fresh and super flavorful. I get the lunch specials and it is perfect portion size and well priced. I eat here a few times a month and the service is always friendly and helpful. Anyone looking for good flavorful food with great service should definitly try India Avenue!!!

DEVANG RAY

Food was very well made. Indo-chinese food was perfect. They offer rosted papad to start with. They pack the left over food in a nice to-go box for you.

woovm

Good curry they have amazing naan bread but the wait for food is long

srini grandhi

It is a okay place for indian food.

Bhanush Arora

Good food and lunch options

Anand M

Upscale place with good Indian food. I really liked the ambiance and the service provided. Definitely a good place to hang out with your family and friends. Parking might be a challenge during peak hours and better to make an reservation.

Inchee Khun Synchit

Excellent service and great food

Lia La Monica

highend indian food with equally lovely people as aromas.

Muthu Mv

I went to this place with my family, we couldn't get a table as it was crowded, so planned to get a carryout. While we were waiting, the person in charge told us we have a table and we could take it. Once we were there they asked if they would like to keep the existing order or cancel it and reorder. We wanted to reorder as we were having it here. The person who gave us the menu and the person who made the take our order where different people and they forgot to cancel the original order. They gave us a starter and then the manager came in and told us they wouldn't be able to cancel our original order and we don't have a choice than to take it. We said we already cancelled it and they didn't agree to it easily. They made such a big fuss that everyone's attention was at our table. We did let it go since we didn't want them to spoil our mood. Then after serving us the starter they made us wait 40 minutes before serving the main dish and when asked, they said since you cancelled the order it will take time. Infact we only changed two items from our original carry out order, still they made us wait - probably, their way of treating us. And trust me everyone who placed their orders with us or after us also got their food. I lost my cool and was about to leave, the owner came in tried to calm things down, we lost our appetite by that time. Worst of it all was, the food that they served us was not even hot (or) warm, my gut says they did it intentionally. I offered to pay the bill for the cancelled items too. But the owner said it's not our fault and that the manager there shouldn't have nagged us for their mistake! This happened a while ago, but this is the only place where I had such a worst experience in the US. "No complaints about the food though! Was very good" - but who cares with such a service and such biased people.

Dara Gandhi

Had Lamb Biriyani. Delicious.Will go there again.

Anthony Defalco

This place is great! Very reasonably priced. Amazing food. I got the chicken vindaloo lunch special. It came with soup and Naan. Which was the best Naan I've ever had. Nice cool atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive waiters. I'll definitely be back.

The Nicole Show

The food here is excellent

lester smith

Excellent food! Low price points and good serving portions. Phenomenal lunch offerings, favorites are Saag Paneer, Samosa and the Tandoori Salmon.

atul rai

Good Indian food.

Robert Carroll

Incredible food and service! India Ave is my favorite restaurant in town

Yogangi Malhotra

We have catered from India Ave/Navaratna twice for our parties and couldn't sing high enough praises. The food was FANTASTIC and Ramesh is an amazing host. He works well with you and helps you with the menu. I placed the order sort of last minute for both the events and it still was perfect. The best place to order Gobhi Manchurian, Hakka Noodles and Tandoori Chicken. Thank you Ramesh. The Birthday party was a huge hit and all the guests took home goodie bags full of the delicious food. Malhotras.

Yevgeniya Shinsky

I like Indian food, but this place made me fall in love with it...just amazing flavor.

Cary Smith

We googled "Indian food in Greenwich, CT." on our way back from New York to Farmington, CT. Wow! India Avenue in Greenwich, CT. is SO GOOD! Maybe the best Indian food we've ever had. No kidding. And we've eaten at many good Indian Restaurants, including Tamarind in NY. We LOVE Indian food! Our friendly waiter suggested the Coriander Chicken Tikka for an appetizer. He was right! So tender, delicately spiced... delicious! Then we shared 2 entrees. The Lamb Pepper Fry is OUTRAGEOUSLY excellent. They sort of shred the lamb chunks, and the lamb is completely tender. The flavors are seriously complex, and quite spicy (the way we like it). We also had Chicken Chettinad. Also just terrific! And the Kheer (rice pudding) is really really fine. We will go again, for sure. Truly excellent Indian food. Clean place, super friendly people. Reasonably priced. And what matters the most... genius in the kitchen. :-)

John J

The best Indian food in Greenwich

bhagavan paduchuri

Nice place for Indian food

manasa C R

Tasty food in small quantities

Mary Bolger

The best Indian around. Always a good sign when many Indians are dining there also! It's clean, the service is very polite and courteous, plenty of free parking and the food is delicious

Prateek Valia

This place has very nice Ambience. Food over there tastes good. They serve Indian cuisine and particularly northern Indian cuisine and various chaat options in appetizer, vegetables Curry's, different breads and sweets.. and they serve drinks too.... They don't have very long menu list like many restaurants but menu is well selected and most time we tend to order within that options only. They have indoor seating, no outdoor seating there. They have parking. It seems pretty busy during dinner time and we had our table reserved beforehand. Paneer Tikka was my best pick, marination was perfect blend. I enjoyed that in appetizer.

Nihit Mehta

The food is exemplary! I cannot recall ever eating Indian food that so clearly tasted like food from India. Additionally, their staff was very courteous from the waiters to the elderly gentleman who seated us. If you are in the area and hungry, look no further!

Pooh Burridge

Enjoyed a lovely family dinner at this contemporary Indian restaurant. We liked the appetizers on the menu and our waiter agreed to provide us dinner portions upon out request. All the items tasty really delicious. The service was reasonably quick and the portions were decent. Will definitely go back whenever possible. Special shout out to Prakash who is the manager for a job well done

Bhakti Mirchandani

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. However, after brunch, I vomited saag paneer out twice in the evening and once in the middle of the night. I have not eaten since. Naturally, this colors the experience, and I would neither visit again, nor recommend the place

mike chan

Quite and decent food. Good for having conversation.

Sayan Chakraborty

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very good vegetarian options too!

Wayne Hynd

Excellent food and service. In my experience, it is difficult to find really good Indian food; most are "just OK". However, if you DO find good Indian food: it's wonderful! This is some of the best Indian food I've ever eaten, with generous portions, and friendly, efficient service...and great desserts. My wife and I are definitely going back soon.

JASMINE BARTLETT

The FOOD WAS SIMPLY AMAZING! Made me miss home... The staff was courteous and The ambiance delightful.. I will definitely be returning

Chris Bellos

Good place, good people, good food

Sheetal Shah

Food is fresh, made with good qualities, has the flavor of the variety of spices they use, and is consistently good. I like their lunch specials ! Had the most delicious beet soup during one of my lunches. Keep it up !

Rakii RC

Everything extremely satisfied....

Ivelu איבונה

Excelent!

Liam Hegarty

A little or expensive but worth it. You'll see a lot of Indians eating here. The only reason I did rate it higher is that service was slow. Owner said they were short staffed. Also it was empty when we arrived and then everyone came at once.

Jaime Urteaga

Delicious, good service. Very friendly maître d'.

Robert White

Awesome Indian food

Doug Wiesen

I never even got seated. I called in advance and made a reservation and they wouldn't honor it. In fact, the host/owner argued with me and asked to see my cell phone call record to prove I called. Will NEVER go there again.

Lynn Staffeldt

Great food! Wonderful wait staff and management! Centrally located in downtown Greenwich, CT. All food is cooked with love and care! Don't like it spicy? Let them know! Everything cooked to your specifications.

Sandeep Pathak

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Fairfield county. I have tried many restaurants in near by Stamford where I live but they are not as authentic as India Ave. I would recommend this one to everyone. Though I am a vegetarian I hear that their Tandoor items are amazing.

Joseph Woo

Good food... Good portions... Very fair lunch prices. I will definitely become aregular here.

Llewellyn Saint Nicholas Downer

Great

Nikhil Samuel

Some of the most authentic Indian food I've had on the east coast. The appetizers are extremely flavorful and delicious. Also the chicken Tikka BBQ dish was fantastic. The part of the chicken they use is tender and juicy and they use very authentic and flavorful spices and herbs in their food. If you desire to sample the most traditional and authentic Indian food you can you must go to India avenue.

Jennie N

Best new restaurant in Greenwich, warm and friendly staff, personalized attention, wonderful food, (this coming from someone who's been to India 4 times). Price is right, atmosphere is calm and relaxing and not noisy. Everything cooked to order. Fresh and delicious!

Anand C Rockzz

Delicious food!! We stopped by at India Avenue while driving from NY to Boston. Had to sit in car at eat since our daughter dozzed off, so cant comment much on the ambiance, but food was 10/10. Thank you team!

Rishi Mewara

Good ambience. The staff needs to be clear with the menu and offerings. Rest all good. Great taste and clewn place.

Sami Saif

The best Indian restaurant in Greenwich

Rajesh Sharma

ved jha

Amazing

priyadarshini chakravorty

Food was really good and would visit again for sure. I am giving 4 star instead of 5 cause v found the starter too salty, sorry

Mahak Juneja

Placed Order through Grubhub. I mentioned in the notes to provide disposable spoons as I was ordering from a hotel room. Infact, I called up and reminded them. Still, nothing was provided with the delivery. Coming to food, Biryani was not very great. It has some sweet taste. I would not recommend this place for authentic Indian food.

Allen David

Good but a bit expensive

Kei Bee

Delicious, excellent customer service.... i left happy and can’t wait to come back ! I went in with my niece and we both were so happy with the experience! A must!!! In love :)

Robert Gryphon

Nothing personal against this place or the people, but I've eaten a lot of Indian food, and this was the worst Indian food I've ever had. We were able to eat about half of it before using the rest. Also, the items we ordered were different from those we received, which we discovered at home.

Bob Das

Upmarket presentation backed by authentic Indian food.

kevin zaleski

excellent Indian food at reasonable prices the lamb vindaloo was particularly excellent they used unusually good cuts of lamb, very low fat

Walter

Lived in Jackson Heights, Queens for 20 years and this level of Indian cuisine blows doors off of my old stomping ground. From the level of service to the quality of their products. I really can't rave about this place more. BTW, fantastic lunch deal but NOT a buffet.

Alex Rubin

Large new spot with a big menu and generous lunch specials. Definitely worth a stop in to try.

Matt Jones

Awesome food, staff/owner explained all dishes and was super attentive. Thumbs up

Ashish Sahoo

Chicken Biryani was awesome.

Sundaralingam Chandrasekar

Taking long time to serve food!!

Doug Martinez

Was looking for Indian food in Greenwich, and found this place that just opened. I got one of the lunch specials for takeout: everything was very tasty, nice balance of heat and flavor, good size portions. Will visit again soon.

Lyle Liberman

Won't be returning. Both of us got GI sick that night and the next morning.

Anima Mohapatra

Nice restaurant in a less busy street. Plenty of parking. Simple yet modern decor. Staff was very professional. Food is decent. They made one of our dishes little too spicy but brought replacement pretty quickly. One star less for tiny tables for four and chicken chunks not cooked properly.

David W. Richardson CFA

A wonderful restaurant for Indian "foodies". The menu is extensive including a well curated wine and beer list. I have had plenty of good Indian food in my travels, but few can touch India Avenue's authenticity and artistry. The freshly prepared dishes are brought to a new level with hand ground spices. The waitstaff are courteous and attentive. The atmosphere is light, clean and elegant and the owner makes sure guests are well cared for. Do not miss this place!

Rutul joshi

This place is amazing. Great paneer appetizer and Vegetable were very fresh in the main course. I have never seen a grape tomato in any indian cuisine, grape tomatoes are normally expensive but they are very delicious. The staff was very professional. This place has modern vibe with authentic Indian touch to it. I would definitely go here again from long island for dinner.

sai gayathri

Try Tandoori Salmon.. Awesome dish...and all vegeterian indian breads are too good

Ravikanth Kolla

Very nice flavors by the Malayali kitchen staff.

Rajive Johri

Authentic Indian food and great service

Suketu Shah

Good food

shreya koladiya

It was really good experience coming here, the ambiance was really good and the food was delicious too, now we don't need to go to India for authentic Indian taste.

Pamela Muñoz

The best Indian restaurant !

Jeffrey Lowell

Food was excellent. Wait staff were fine. The place is a little noisy. Prices were about 10% higher than I expected. I would eat there again.

Marita Stark

Good food

Sumanth Suresh

Good food

Hugo Ayala

Tasty Indian fare, served in an elegant setting. We ate at the restaurant, but saw dozens of people pick up food for take out.

David Frangione

Very tasty, fresh Indian! Got tandoori mixed grill (The salmon was a big surprise hit), chicken madras, Aloo Gobi. Gobi Manchurian starter was awesome too from the indo-chinese menu, came out like General Tso's cauliflower! Dosa was impressive as well.

Raj Gauri

Great food and ambience and service
