Top 10 Indian Restaurants in Orlando, FL

Bombay Street Kitchen is a useful starting point for diners interested in Indian flavors presented through a street-food-inspired menu rather than a conventional list of curries and breads. Its official website describes a modern interpretation of Indian street food and highlights the kitchen's use of scratch preparation. Published menu selections include items such as chicken tikka masala, tandoori preparations and dishes that combine Indian spices with contemporary presentation. The restaurant has also publicized repeated Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, which is a more concrete distinction than an unqualified “best restaurant” claim. Its South Orange Blossom Trail address is south of the main International Drive hotel corridor, so allow for the additional drive if staying near Universal or the convention center.

Tamara Modern Indian Cuisine is located inside the Cambria Hotel Orlando Universal Boulevard, which makes it particularly convenient for visitors staying in the International Drive and Universal-area hotel corridor. The restaurant describes its approach as modern Indian dining, with traditional dishes and contemporary presentation. Its published menu includes butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, vegetarian appetizers and Indo-Chinese-influenced dishes. The restaurant offers dine-in, takeout and catering, and publishes reservation information for guests planning a sit-down meal. It also advertises a weekend lunch buffet, but buffet availability and prices should be checked against the current schedule. The hotel setting makes it worth comparing for a planned dinner or a meal without leaving the surrounding hotel district.

Aashirwad is a full-service Indian restaurant near the attractions and hotels of southwest Orlando. Its published menus cover a broad selection of Indian dishes, including tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, biryani, regional curries and vegetarian preparations. The menu also includes Indo-Chinese-style appetizers, making it a useful option for groups who want more than one category of dish. The restaurant publishes separate lunch and dinner menus and offers online ordering. For visitors, its location on South Kirkman Road can be more convenient than traveling to the Curry Ford Road or Avalon Park areas. Check the current menu and ask about lunch offerings if visiting during the day; menu categories and prices can differ between meal periods.

Saffron Indian Cuisine sits on West Sand Lake Road, in the restaurant corridor commonly associated with Dr. Phillips and Restaurant Row. Its website describes a menu drawing on different regional Indian traditions, including North Indian tandoor cooking and seafood preparations. The published menu includes Old Delhi butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, chana masala, goat biryani and a range of tandoori specialties. Vegetarian options and pickup, delivery, catering and reservations are also listed. The breadth of the menu makes Saffron a useful comparison for diners deciding between familiar curry-house dishes and more varied regional preparations. Current online prices indicate that some full-size entrees are a significant expense, so check the menu and consider lunch offerings if budget is a priority.

Tabla's Grand National Drive location serves the International Drive area and offers a full-service restaurant format. Its published menu includes chaat, samosas, tandoor dishes, curries, biryani, breads and desserts, with additional menus for lunch and the bar. The restaurant also promotes dine-in specials and online ordering. That range makes it suitable for diners who want a conventional sit-down Indian meal with several courses or a choice of familiar and more elaborate dishes. Because promotional menus and meal packages may be time-limited, confirm the applicable dates and conditions rather than assuming an advertised offer is permanent. Its address is useful for hotel guests in the International Drive corridor, but travelers staying farther east may find Lake Nona or Avalon Park more convenient.

Kathi Rolls focuses on Indian street-food-style meals built around rolls and bowls. The concept is different from a traditional restaurant menu organized around curry entrees, rice and naan: a filled roll can be a convenient one-person meal, while customizable bowls give diners another format. The restaurant's published website advertises online ordering, halal meat and vegan-friendly options. Those labels are useful starting points, but diners with specific religious, ingredient or allergy requirements should confirm the details directly. The restaurant's website lists a Curry Ford Road address and limited operating days and hours; because some available web information is older, verify that the location is still operating at that address before making a special trip.

Shahi Indian Cuisine serves the Avalon Park area in eastern Orlando and combines Indian cooking with Chinese and Indo-Chinese menu categories. Its website lists fried rice, lo mein, chicken dishes and kebabs, making it a useful choice for households or groups whose preferences span several Asian menu styles. The restaurant advertises halal meat, though anyone requiring particular certification or sourcing should confirm it directly. Its location near Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes makes it geographically distinct from the concentration of restaurants around International Drive. For residents in east Orlando, that local convenience may matter more than choosing a restaurant near the tourist corridor. Check the current menu for vegetarian choices, spice preferences and dish availability.

Royal Indian Cuisine and Bar publishes a menu organized around vegetarian and nonvegetarian appetizers, soups, chicken, lamb and goat, seafood, tandoori specialties, breads, biryani, desserts and drinks. That menu structure is useful for diners who want to compare a broad range of conventional Indian restaurant dishes rather than a narrowly specialized street-food concept. The restaurant also advertises online ordering for pickup or delivery. Because the available official website does not establish a complete street address in the information reviewed for this guide, verify the current location and service hours before traveling. Check the live menu for specific regional dishes, vegetarian options and current prices rather than relying on third-party listings that may be outdated.

Tamarind is an option for readers willing to travel north of central Orlando into Winter Park. Its official website describes a menu built around traditional Indian cooking and a variety of regional flavors, with menu, ordering and reservation information available online. This makes it worth comparing with the International Drive restaurants for diners staying near Winter Park or planning a meal in that community. The geographic distinction matters: Winter Park is not the same neighborhood as downtown Orlando, and travel time can vary substantially with traffic. Before making plans, check the restaurant's current address, menu, hours and reservation availability on its own website.

Tabla's Lake Nona location serves an eastern Orlando community that is a considerable drive from International Drive. The restaurant publishes main, weekday lunch, bar and special thali menus, as well as online ordering and reservation options. Its menu includes Indian appetizers, curries, tandoor dishes and rice preparations. The location-specific website has also advertised weekend thali offerings; confirm the current schedule and terms before planning a visit around a special. This is a separate location of the Tabla restaurant group, not a different independent restaurant from the Grand National Drive entry above. Its inclusion is intended to give Lake Nona residents and visitors a geographically relevant option instead of implying that all Indian restaurants in Orlando are clustered around the attractions.
