Modern Indian Restaurants in the USA

Our guide to modern Indian restaurants

Indian and South Asian restaurants serve curries, tandoori dishes, breads and rice from across the subcontinent, plus Nepali, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan specialties. North Indian dishes – butter chicken, tikka masala, naan – are the most familiar, while South Indian restaurants focus on dosas, idli and vegetarian thalis.

Indian cooking has one of the deepest vegetarian traditions in the world, so it is an excellent choice for mixed groups. Lunch buffets are common and are a good way to try several dishes at once.
