Best Indian Restaurants in Paterson

A cascade of flowers and the mural paintings really grabs up when you walk in. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The kale fritters were so crunchy delicious that we were enchanted. The grilled shrimp were juicy and spicy. All the serving bowls, platters are handcrafted and unique. The meal was so well spiced and two entrees were enough for 3 people. The mango ice cream cubes were a revelation! Def worth a return visit!

Excellent food. Impeccable service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Next time I’ll do the 3 course, instead of the 4. The portions were a bit larger than I thought they’d be- which I am not complaining about. Although the decor is pleasing- it lacks vibe. One could say the decor is a blank slate to better show off the art of the food- but it’s just a bit sterile, imho.

The food was great, I'll go back again. I recommend the place.

We had a delicious meal at Benares. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The samosas are always good. My family enjoyed spicier dishes of goat and lamb. We celebrated my birthday with a chocolate lava cake and rose water ice cream. Our servers were excellent.
