13 Best Indian Restaurants near Honolulu

“If you have never tried 'Namaste Indian & Nepalese Cuisine' in Honolulu - you should have no hesitation whatsoever about ordering from here - it's 12/10 delicious! I had it for the first time tonight - hands down one of the best meals I've ever had! Lamb Masala & the Rogan Josh lamb dish was phenomenal. Naan was freshly made. Meat was SO tender. You definitely can tell that the ingredients are high quality with health benefits & cooked with a lotta love. I regret not ordering more (especially the mango lassi mmm...) I honestly could eat from here everyday & not feel guilty. This is the type of food that will heal you from the inside out lol. Fresh - healthy REAL food - tons of amazing flavors - warms the soul! Just added to my Top 5 favorites on Oahu! Go order now!!“

“Those who know Spice Up, KNOW…

My significant other and I have Spice Up every week. Yup, we can’t stay away from it. Coming from foodies who eat out a lot, no restaurant has topped Spice Up. This is our favorite restaurant on Oahu and we always make it a point to come back for serotonin and a homey date night. We order butter chicken, garlic cheese naan, and try to get a new dish at almost every visit. Sure a butter chicken might make us basic, but it sure does the job. It’s fantastic every single time. Staff are so friendly. Spice up serves top quality food and is worth every penny.“

“I stopped by Lasoon while visiting the Paradise Palms Café area at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa campus, and it turned out to be a great place to grab flavorful Indian food in a casual setting.

Lasoon operates inside the Paradise Palms food court, which has a relaxed campus atmosphere with several different food vendors in one space. The environment feels very laid back, with students, faculty, and visitors stopping in for quick meals between classes or meetings.

The menu focuses on Indian comfort dishes such as curries, rice plates, and other traditional items. The flavors are bold and aromatic, with spices that give the dishes depth without overwhelming heat. The sauces pair well with the rice and create a balanced, satisfying meal.

One thing that stood out to me was how approachable the food is. The dishes maintain traditional Indian flavor profiles while still being easy for a wide range of diners to enjoy.

Service was quick and efficient, which fits well with the food court style setup where most people are looking for a good meal without a long wait.

Overall, Lasoon is a great option if you are on the UH Mānoa campus and want something flavorful and different from the typical quick-service options. It offers a solid introduction to Indian cuisine in a relaxed campus setting.“

“This is a takeaway restaurant, with the most lovely owners who always take the best care of you & your food. The food is scrumptious, and hearty. Myself & coworker frequent Komala's, and we are able to order catering trays for office lunches as well. It's so wonderful having such a nice place so close.“

“Their food is absolutely ono! Excellent service; extremely friendly. All of their selections are quality & reasonably priced!😎🤙“

“Everything was amazing! I will definitely come back!“

“We had an amazing experience at Ganesha Dosa! The dosas were crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The chutneys and sambar were authentic and perfectly balanced. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. We will definitely be back💚“

“This is my second time ordering from this restaurant, and it’s just as delicious as the first! This has officially become one of my go-to places for a wholesome, flavorful, and affordable meal. ❤

I especially love the lamb stew and the spinach cottage cheese dish—both are so comforting and full of flavor!

If you’re looking to try something different from what you’re used to, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed! ✨“

“We went for the soft opening, and now have been several times. : ) Wow, faves are a tough one for me. Easy enough to say, it’s a perfect choice for a huge variety of diets, and adding in some veggies in a tasty way. It’s especially good if you favor lots of flavor, a variety of fun textures (think crispy papadam), and a choice of heat levels. The casual low keyed setting is great for conversation. They’ve worked out their timing, and are up and running. Worth repeating again and again.“

“Almost like the real thing in Japan! The curry is so good. Only thing that would make it better is if you could order a spice level from 0-10, instead your options are mild or spicy which is a Japan 1 or 2 (weak spice). Staff is great too.

Oh, can’t dine in; there’s too much product that precludes you from dining in.“
