I had a great experience at Indian Garden Restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out nicely prepared. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian food. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Everything is good! Cozy, friendly and most of all, the food is delicious! I have been there to eat and also order take- out! I am working my way through the menu! read more

After eating here twice in the past several months I would say they do an okay job overall but that is about all. Service is polite and efficient and the ambience is alright. But, the food is borderline. While some dishes are fine others are not up to par. Still you may want to give them are try as your milage may vary. read more

Just not my cup of tea. Too much spice. Even though I ordered mild for chicken biryani.

While visiting the area, I was disappointed with the lack of decently rated restaurants and was interested in India Garden because of their 4+ stars. Greeted upon arriving by a friendly host, the restaurant looked well maintained, clean and not too crowded. The server was fast, accommodating and understanding that l needed more time to read the menu. Having only had Indian cuisine a couple times, I was looking for familiar dishes to compare, and was not disappointed. The aroma was tremendous, and the flavors matched. Everything was cooked perfectly with excellent seasoning and presentation. The quantity was enough to take home leftovers, which tasted as good the next day when reheated. If I am ever in the area again, I will be sure to make another visit. read more

We were looking for a Peruvian restaurant nearby and by chance we saw India Garden Restaurant in Belmar fully packed. My friend and I decided to give it a try. It was just a small restaurant probably about 40 person capacity. We waited to be seated and ordered. The place was good and clean, the service was good and the food was just okay though. We tried Chili Gobi, Chicken Masala, Butter Naan and Lamb Biryani. Nothing spectacular though with the food we ordered. The lamb was a bit chewy. I should say that this restaurant may not be the best Indian Restaurant I have tried. Hyderabad Spice in Matawan is still the first in my list. Nothing much of complaints though. Maybe some on their menu are much better than what we had. read more

I heard and read good things about this new Indian restaurant, so we decided to try it early Friday evening. So glad we did. It is a small place, about 40 seats, in "Belmar Mall" near several other eateries. This place is a BYOB. If you forget to bring wine or beer, there is a liquor store across the parking lot. Ambiance is pleasant. They had a TV playing clips from Bollywood cinema - Indian men and women singing and dancing. Service was very attentive. I asked the owner where they were from. He said Goa. FYI, when Britain ruled over 99% of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, there were a few small colonies controlled by other foreign powers. Portugal ruled over Goa, a beautiful area on the Southwest coast of India. Among the results is a cuisine that is a bit different from typical Indian food. Try it, you will love it! We started sharing an appetizer of two vegetable samosas, yummy. For entrees, we shared Prawn Pepper Masala and Saag Veg, with a naan and a roti, and, of course rice is included. Everything was simply delicious and good size portions. Total bill with tax and tip only $70. We have eaten a lot of Indian food: in India, in Britain, and in many places in the United States. India Garden ranks up there with the best. I hope that people in the Belmar area can appreciate how lucky they are to have delicious Indian food here at reasonable prices. I wish the owners great success with their new restaurant. read more

India Garden - Entrees, 5/24/24 - Indian Near Me - Belmar, New Jersey

Even the mildest spice level was WAY TOO HOT for us. Will not order again. Too bad, we do like mild curry flavors, but did not enjoy these.

A cute little place with great food, cutesy floral nature decor. Staff was super kind and helpful, and I could tell he was so proud of his country and their cuisine and was happy to give suggestions, and answer questions. The mango Lassi was yummy, refreshing and definitely fresh! read more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at India Gardens on Friday evening. The ambience was quite pleasant with some relaxing Indian entertainment playing in the background on a screen. We began with the savory samosas and coconut naan, an excellent way to start our meal. For entrees, we had the Mugalai Chicken Korma and the Goat Curry. The chicken dish included large pieces of tender mildly spiced white meat, surrounding by an array of vegetables. The goat was mostly deboned and the curry sauce was flavorful. The portions were large and we took home enough for another meal. The service was prompt and friendly. A mango lassi was a tasty beverage to accompany the food,. We will return to the Indian Garden soon. There are many India restaurants in Monmouth County now, but India Garden is one of the best. read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Nice casual vibe. I had the following for dinner on a Saturday night, 8pm: Mulligatawny Soup: Excellent (great spice/heat) Garlic Naan: excellent Dal Taduka w/ rice: good (needed a 'lil more spice/heat, but delicious nonetheless) All together : excellent, and I cleaned my plate(s) Definitely give this place a try. ***Update*** Went back 6 days later, with my wife, to get more... and the Saag Veg is now officially my favorite!!! read more

The food is very bland It lacks heat. And it was very pricey.the restaurant feels like Calcutta, India

Just had another great meal at India Garden. This time I started off with the lamb nachos that were absolutely incredible! Creamy, slow cooked lamb with great toppings and tons of flavor. I had their fresh garlic naan again which was perfect and for the entree did a pistachio veg korma which had such a unique flavor and lots of fresh veggies. I topped it off with gulab jamun which is my favorite dessert on earth. Food was excellent! read more

Great Indian restaurant. It had a wide selection of dishes, including vegan/vegetarian ones and very interesting naan options. The food was fresh and flavorful. It was quiet on the night we went (a Monday) so service was attentive, and also polite and friendly. With two dishes and an appetizer for two people, we still had enough to take home, so portions are sizable (while not being ridiculously huge). I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time. Every dish was above average. We went above 5 pm on a weekday, and the restaurant was totally not crowded. read more

Amazing Indian food! Bringing 10 college students there for an authentic Indian cuisine before their trip to India in January, visiting historic sites and onelife2love.org through indspiretour read more

The food was very good and staff was very kind. They also had comfortable chairs, nice music, and fast service. I recommend the samosas and chicken tikka masala. read more

Delicious Indian food!! We have only gotten it as take out and we love it. Chicken tikka Masala, Chicken Makani, Chicken Biriyani, and garlic naan. All excellent! read more

Very good fresh flavorful food. Desired spiciness/ heat was catered to. Crab soup was great. Attentive service on a slow Saturday night in November. Full range of vegan options as well as a kids menu that would keep less adventurous kids happy. Strip mall location with parking and very easy level access from sidewalk. Fair prices and ample portions. We took food home read more

India Garden is a HIDDEN GEM for both Indian food fans and those trying Indian food for the first time. Spices are flavorful, nuanced can be adjusted by request to waiter. Nothing to fear. Extensive menu, we went with Indian staples Chennai curry, tandoori oven roasted chicken and Chicken Marsala.Several types on Indian flat breads. Restaurant is mid size, clean & neat. Service is fine, not overbearing. Friendly vibe. BYOB. Servings were ample, moderate pricing. Ample parking in Belmar restaurant row, between Main St and the train station. read more

My son and I had a great dinner here at this cozy restaurant. The food was very tasty and there was a good variety. I especially liked the lamb tikka masala and the samosas. Only drawback is the slow service. Everyone is very nice but I think they're understaffed. It seems to be a family business. read more

The food is delicious. The mulligatawny soup is the best we've had. The spinach fritters are a perfect appetizer. It great to have Indian flavors at the shore. read more

It took a long time but we finally have a great Indian restaurant in Belmar. The menu is extensive the food is fresh and well prepared. Service was excellent . portions are large. The tandoori chicken is a must try not to mention the garlic naan read more

Food was outstanding. Delicious dinner for the 4 of us. Picked 4 appetizers and 4 main courses. All were excellent. Highly recommend India Garden. Will return soon!! read more

Surprised that this is still a hidden gem. We've dined in and taken out, every time the food is awesome. Great price points for the quality and quantity you pay for, never a disappointment. So many unique flavors. Try the chicken 65 as an app! read more

Three of us were there for an early dinner. Thr mulligatawny soup was very flavorful.. We had fried vegetables for an appetizer that were crisp and not oily, served with 2 different dipping sauces. The dinners were all very good. The basmati rice was prepared perfectly. The service was very attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Indian food. And if you've never had Indian food, this would be a good place to try it. read more

First class menu. It was hard to choose. I saw anIndian version of tacos and took a chance. Wow they were very delicious. My table buddies had more traditional entrees. I tried them and they were perfect. Im a fan of Bombay River in Red Bank -- I'm happy that I can now have quality Indian cuisine close to home. Service, comfort and cleanliness also deserve high marks. read more

Probably the best Indian food we've had in a very long while. They haven't made the restaurant anything overtly indian, but the food more than makes up for it. The only thing i haven't seen is onion kulcha bread, but the garlic nan & roti are awesome. I prefer the chana masala in redder sauce - they have another version which is slightly lighter & different tasting. Try the salmon tikka masala if you're a pescatarian. It's stupendous! My son tried the goat vindaloo & said he preferred the lamb (without the bones). Taste wise, both dishes were a big hit! The samosas are excellently done: light pastry & excellent with tamarind sauce! They do a great job with the bread for takeouts. You'll enjoy the food at home almost as much as u will ordering right there. read more

Love this restaurant. I have eaten here several times and every time has been great. Food is great and the service is just as good. Quickly becoming a regular for me. read more

Was looking forward to trying India Garden but unfortunately we didn't enjoy it. It lacked flavor and they forgot part of our order.

The best Indian food & kindle staff, over all I satisfied with the wonderful experience Prawn Pepper MasalaVegetable, Samosas , Tandoori Chicken read more

So excited to have an Indian restaurant so close to the shore. Enjoyed Samosas, paneer tikka masala, Cheese naan, and chicken korma. Everything was so flavorful. The staff was very busy with DoorDash and Takeout and were still very attentive to patrons eating in. I heard one person say to the server that they had eaten earlier this week and couldn't wait to come back again a few days later!! I was so excited to have leftovers which I cannot wait to enjoy. I will definitely return in the future. Please visit this new business and support their success! read more

Food was excellent! I had lamb biryani and my wife had saag paneer. The flavors were perfect, the lamb was tender. We also ordered coconut naan. Very unique and flavorful. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great Indian food in a small unassuming location. The Belmar mall has a whole row of small restaurants, and it is easy to overlook India Garden. That would be a mistake. We liked some of the southern India choices that are not on every menu at every Indian restaurant. We were there off season, so the place was not overcrowded, but it's a good idea to use the reservation tab an ensure a place. The chicken hariyali tikka was great. We were only in town for 5 days, but we went back twice. They have a buffet lunch as I recall, but we were not in Belmar most lunch times, so didn't get to try it. That could be an excellent way to try the place. read more

tried Indian Garden last night with a friend. Arrived on a Saturday at about 6 o'clock and the place was jumping. We did not have a reservation and I am very glad we were able to sneak in food was very, very tasty. Service was good prices on par. It's a BYOB added plus. I would love to see a lunch menu and at this time they do not have one that I know of. read more

We have been to this restaurant a few times since they have opened. We love it because it's close to us and we have had positive experiences eating here the last two times. However, on the third time we had a different vibe. We showed up a little on the later side one night and the portions were skimpier but again, it was ok we brushed it off. The more concerning thing to us was that upon paying for our check, we were made aware that if you tip on the credit card that it goes to management. Absurd! Luckily I had cash to tip the waiter, but after hearing this I do not think I will come back. I would rather take the drive to Mauka. In this economy it is disheartening to hear that the owners of this establishment are taking the credit card tips! Beware! Bring CASH to tip if you plan to eat here. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time! You can't go wrong with chicken tikka masala or tandoori chicken. The flavors were amazing and you can tell it was made fresh. The garlic naan was great too! So happy to have some authentic Indian food in the area. read more

Wonderful food. There is a little wait but it's well worth it. I normally am not fond.of Indiam cuisine but this place definitely changed my mind. Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommended. read more

Food 10/10. Ambiance meh. Service great. They desperately need a decorator to help curate the vibe.
