Always consistent in serving up delicious food and attentive service is why we keep coming back to Ocean Indian. We are never disappointed. The décor and ambience of this restaurant is so serene and welcoming. As always, they start you off with a basket of Papadum (light crispy Indian wafers) and two dipping sauces. These are really delicious and a wonderful introduction to Indian food. Our foods started with an order of split Vegetable and Chicken Momo dumplings that were marinated in Nepali spices stuffed in flour wrapped and steamed and served with a special chutney. For our friends' main course, they split a Chicken Tikka Masala, which was boneless white meat chicken cooked with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. They also ordered Naan - the traditional unleavened white bread. My husband had his favorite, the Tandoori Shrimp. It was a very generous portion of jumbo shrimp marinated in an herb mixture and delicately broiled in our tandoori clay oven served with mixed vegetables. This came out sizzling. This came with a side of spinach that was more like a creamed spinach. It was the best we have ever tasted! It was creamy with the best seasoning. I decided to try something new and ordered the Chicken Pista Korma which was White meat chicken simmered in a mild pistachio sauce. I would have like smaller pieces of chicken, but the sauce was delicate and delicious. All of our entrees came with basmati rice. The portions are so generous we all had something to take home for another meal. Our servers were very attentive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed another great meal at Indian Ocean. read more

Only open 3 months but with a bright future. The food is delicious: lamb passnta and chicken tikka masala were terrific, as well as a freshly grated carrot dessert and a chai tea. The ambiance is lovely: sunny & clean. Prices are reasonable, service is quick and the location is very convenient a few doors down from Yassou in Hunt Valley. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We came in for their buffet on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is bright and welcoming and the staff was attentive and friendly. The buffet isn't the largest spread you'll ever encounter but what they do, they do very well. None of the options are bland and appeared to be freshly made. What's amazing is that they offer mango lassis as part of the buffet. I'd never seen that but I'm quite impressed. I will absolutely return and highy recommend. 9/10 read more

We did carryout, tandoori chicken as good as it gets, side of spinach, avocado salad was a generous portion and garlic Naan. I've never seen the restaurant crowded, only 1 couple eating in, the carryout I think keeps them going but with food this good, and prices reasonable Indian Ocean should be packed! read more

I was amazed at the beautiful and serene atmosphere- especially walking in off the parking lot of a strip mall. This spot is white-table cloth, well -trained staff, pleasant music and decor. The menu is interesting, too. Lots of seafood dishes. My husband's Goan Salmon was exquisite- a subtle sauce, cooked to perfection. The waiter asks for your preferred heat level. I asked for my Lamb Saag to be mild, but it was too spicy for me. The waiter immediately took it and they prepared another dish to my liking. A generous gesture, made by people who care about customers. We'll definitely go back and try the buffet. *aside: a woman waiting for take-out asked for a glass of water. She was brought that - then a complimentary Mango Lassi while she waited. Really charming place. read more

We came in a bit later on a Saturday evening and there were only a few tables. The World Cup was on and once the game started our waiter disappeared. I had to get up and search out staff to get plates cleared, get containers to go and pay my bill. The food was nothing special. Not bad but not worth returning for. I thought the quality of the food was average at best. I am not Indian so I am far from knowledgeable on Indian cooking however the Indian American family sitting adjacent to us had sent their meal back as and seemed disappointed as well. When we left my wife and I discussed the place and both felt the place had no manager and no one running the store and lacked any passion. This was our second visit after a few years and had a better experience previously. read more

Our habit is to eat at Zooks in the Amish Market. Good food in the hustle & bustle. We arrived too late on a Saturday as Zooks closes early so we thought we would finally try Indian Ocean. This is the opposite of Zooks. You know as soon as you enter. Exotic aromas, sophisticated calming decor, lovely background music, cloth napkins & white tablecloths, heavyweight silverware and attentive waiters made me wonder. Now Indian Ocean is our special place. Because the food is so fabulous. We've been 3 times now. Each time we try something new and are totally delighted. Butter chicken is fabulous. So is Goan fish. The avocado salad is fantastic. Get the house dressing! It's fabulous. Totally unexpected. So was the Peshawar naan. Yes, the restroom was as spotless as the rest of the place. I noticed a staffer in the back carefully inspect each glass and use a towel to polish away water spots from 3 racks of water goblets. FYI. read more

Today we had an absolutely wonderful experience with their lunch buffet. The food was very yummy and in good variety, The ambiance is nice and cozy, but what impressed me the most is their attentive and very accomodating service. I asked about Momo served in the soup (Johl) which wasn't in the menu and they were very nice to cook it this way for me. Usually I meet a refusal to accommodate my asking. Thanks to the whole team for such a wonderful lunch. We definitely plan to return. read more

Excellent food. The tikka masala is to die for! I will drive over an hour to get it. It is that good!

A nice place to have a meal in Hunt Valley especially if you like Indian cuisine. The whole red snapper is my choice and it's really good. My wife likes the tikka masala. Breads baked in the tandoori are a must . The servers couldn't be more gracious and accommodating. Easy parking and the inside of the restaurant is clean as a whistle. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! We wanted to cater for a party and the team was SO helpful and accommodating since the first time we met them. The manager helped us create a menu and the food was a hit amongst the guests! We went to sample some dishes before ordering and wow - they blew us away with some of their dishes. Our favorites were the vegetable biryani and the garlic chicken tikka with creamed spinach. Definitely check this place out! read more

Sooooooo good!!!! The food is exceptional in quality and taste. We ordered the chaat, tikka masala fries, samosas, matar paneer, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Every dish was 10/10. The atmosphere is also really nice - it is very clean, spacious, and has white/table clothes and beautiful plants and sea-decor including a huge screen playing serene seascapes and fish. There are fewer places these days that have a nice atmosphere inside that really makes you feel like you are dining and not just getting fast food, so I appreciated that. read more

Everything was great. The food, the staff and the ambiance. Do yourself a big favor and GO

Indian food is one of my favorites and nothing made me happier than to find this place while visiting a friend; there were lots of options but I'm glad I chose this one. When you select Indian hot it is actually Indian hot which I love. The large selection had me ordering way more food than I would actually eat in one night but it was worth it. I got the chicken wings because I went with Saag Paneer, Onion Kulcha, and Gajar Halwa. I love when chicken wings are cooked hard; I would only suggest flavor options. Did I mention they have a large menu selection??? I only took one star off because the restaurant was full and I had to wait for my online to-go order. However the staff was friendly. read more

Walking into this restaurant, you immediately feel welcomed and know that you are in for a treat. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calming. We met friends for dinner to introduce them to this new restaurant. Both Ali and Laxman, our servers, were so friendly and attentive to our every need. Our friends started out with Masala French Fries - a generous portion of fries with a masala seasoning - very interesting and different. We ate them all up! For their dinners, they chose the Chicken Tikka Masala with basmati rice and Chicken Tikka with basmati rice and creamed spinach. My wife decided to try something new and had the Lamb Bhuna with basmati rice, and I had the Tandoori Shrimp with basmati rice and creamed spinach. You can request the heat of your dish - we chose mild. One thing is for sure, you will not leave this restaurant hungry - you will have some of your dinner to take home. I had 10 large size shrimp in my dinner. My wife's dinner was a little spicier than she liked. Ali immediately said that they would cook her another one. Instead, she asked for some yogurt, which did the trick in cutting the heat level. We all were so pleased with our service and delicious dinners. We look forward to returning soon. read more

This was a different experience than I have had with other restaurants serving Indian cuisine. There were no aromas in the restaurant to tantalize the the senses of the customer. Though not unpleasant, I found myself breathing in deeply through my nostrils hoping to experience the aromas of spice as I walked into the restaurant but there were none. The Curry Chicken was tasty and as requested, had the right amount of heat. The presentation of the dishes we ordered was appealing. The wait staff were courteous and attentive. The ambiance was enhance by two large screens. One showed beautiful images of what I presumed was India and Nepal while the other showed interesting and colorful yet strange sea creatures. The garlic na'an was ok.... very thin but tasty. I liked that the cooks were not shy about the garlic. The rice that came with our meal was delicious. One of our party ordered the sampler. That was quite flavorful and we all enjoyed it. The Veggie Momos were good but also had a little bit of an unpleasant aftertaste, like a freezer burn. The sauces were flavorful and complimented our meals. For instance, there was a yogurt cucumber dipping sauce that was particularly delicious and refreshing. The lentils were also quite delicious. This experience had a balanced mixture of definite pros and some soft cons. I do recommend the restaurant but the spices (not necessarily the heat) could have had a more intense presence in the food. read more

Buffet on 1/2/25. Have to say it's pricey but the food is outstanding. Had delicious saag paneer (best saag ever) and very, very tasty tandoor chicken. Basmati rice was soft and flavorful. Waiter brought a basket of hot (!) naan. Rice pudding at the end was superb. Unfortunately, I live a good distance away otherwise I'd be a frequent customer. Strongly recommend. read more
