We have been going to India House for many years, and I must say that it has had its ups and downs, Right now it is up. Perhaps the owners have become aware that our tastes have changed, and they are no longer "Americanizing" their dishes. In the past, "extra hot" was middling, but now, be warned: They will cook...

We ate at this restaurant once last summer. Had a nice table on their patio. Service was good and the food was interesting and well prepared. Since then, we have tried to go back 2x and each time the maitre d' (who may be the owner) refused to accommodate our preferences. Once he wanted to seat us at a cramped,... More

Wonderfully friendly multi-generational family runs this restaurant. Authentic traditional Indian cuisine as well as delicious innovative offerings. Great for the experienced or the inexperienced palate.

I have not been to India, but my Indian friends say that the food is very authentic. This is not your typical Indian dining experience, however. There are not small plates available so if you want to sample a little variety of several dishes you would need to come in a large group. Our food was very tasty, but medium... More

This restaurant is family owned and operated. The food is fabulous. If you are not familiar with Indian food, don't worry. The owners and wait staff will take the time to explain the food, the ingredients and tastes. They will also make recommendations for the uninitiated.

Honestly, I am sad to write this review of my one-time favorite Noho restaurant, India House. It used to be a reliable source of good Indian food, but it has gone downhill --- drastically, I might add. My dining companion and I ordered garlic-rosemary naan, "luscious lobster masala (their special dish)," and aloo gobhi. The complimentary papadum was good, but... More

I couldn't have been more impressed by India House. A party of 4 friends went last night to celebrate one of our birthdays. All the staff were friendly, engaging and helpful. The food was fantastic, and the selections were extensive. There were some unusual items that I had never seen at other Indian restaurants. They brought the "birthday girl" a... More

An unusual dining experience with a family that obviously cares about its customers. We felt like we were dining in an Indian home, and the food was of homemade quality; tasty, spicy, and quite affordable. The table with intricate designs beneath the glass top was unlike anything we'd seen, the service was attentive, and the food authentic. Highly recommended!

The food is excellent and inventive, with plenty of vegetarian choices and meat-based choices. The wait-staff are friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the noise -- it can be hard for older people to hear if it gets at all crowded.
