"My wife and I have been going to India Restaurant for several years. They had another location in Warren, RI a few years back and that's where we met. We have since been going to India for our anniversaries, special occasions and sometime just for their brunch. The food is aromatic and exceptionally prepared. The tastes are a treat for the senses. The prices are well placed and not too expensive for just about any budget. The service is always fantastic. The ambiance, superb with live jazz or traditional Indian sitar music on occasion. Belly dancers and henna tattoos are also available on certain days. I heartily recommend trying India. You'll be hooked!"

"Food was excellent. Menu offers a varied selection of traditional Indian dishes. The Vindaloo is a must! I'd recommend the lamb as it was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Outdoor seating, especially in the rear of the restaurant, is a nice touch to complete the dining experience. Traditional Indian dancers perform on the weekend for quests. Overall great dining experience."

"My wife and I won a gift certificate to this restaurant and decided to go this past weekend. We love Indian food and we were not disappointed. The drinks were great, apps were delicious as was the main course. We also made sure to make room for dessert. The atmosphere was terrific with the movie playing in the background and the live belly dancer.
We will be back again!"

"We enjoyed the dinners we had but were sorry the menu was so limited.
Having been in India we were expecting a wider range of
vegetarian options and items such as paratha. However the preparation
of our order was competent and correctly spiced.
Unfortunately service was marred by our server forgetting our bread
order of roti, such that the bread arrived mid-meal after a reminder.
My vegetarian saag was of course quite liquid and I had intentionally
omitted rice, meaning to use the roti as a scoop.
We did enjoy the ambience and will try the restaurant again."

"The food was amazing. Our server was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent suggestions. The prices are a little higher than the average restaurant but its well worth it. Bread basket is awesome, curry is bessss, samosas were to die for and the mango margarita was heaven. A definite place to repeat."

"We try to go to India Restaurant several times a year. If we lived closer, we would be regulars. The food is always great; complex flavors in just the right proportions. Favorite appetizers are Aloo tikki, Samosas and the lamb chops. We usually get the Masala curry as an entree- swordfish or lamb are both great. The naan breads are excellent: honey/ginger and red onion/cilantro are favorites. Try a Mango Colada.
On our most recent visit with friends, we noted how nice the atmosphere is at India-especially compared to some other Indian restaurants we have been to."

"I should say that my high ratings for ambiance and noise (very quiet) are in part due to reserving a quiet corner, which turned out to be a romantic nook with just four tables. My wife and I started with a grilled shrimp appetizer accompanied by nan bread, a wonderful combination. My wife's grilled vegetable entree was superb, and my chicken kabob dinner was almost perfect--the chicken being just a tad overcooked. Our waiter was very attentive and polite without being intrusive. As beer drinkers we were happy to have a pretty good selection to choose from, including several draft brews like Magic Hat No. 9 and Newcastle Ale, in either 14 or 24-ounce servings. Considering the quality of the food the prices are quite reasonable. Excellent!"
