Top Indian restaurants

When many of us think of Indian food, we automatically jump to curry-heavy dishes, but there's more nuance to this cuisine style. For starters, Indian food comes in a wide variety of regional differences. Foods from Southern India are distinct from foods in Northern India.

Either way, you can expect Indian food to veer strongly towards the spicy side of the spectrum since common ingredients include dried, whole chili peppers, allspice, and cardamom. But other ingredients like mustard seeds, turmeric, fenugreek, and cinnamon are common too.

If you're looking for recommendations on classic Indian food, you're in the right place. An authentic Indian restaurant will serve dishes like tikka masala with a choice of meats, lamb vindaloo, and butter chicken with a side of tamarind chutney.
